David de Groot cremated at Memorial Gardens - after moving Thanksgiving Service

By Shirley Thomas THE body of Mr. David de Groot, member of the Board of Directors of the Guyana National Newspapers Ltd (GNNL) and former Parliamentary Secretary with responsibility for Community Development in the Office of the Prime Minister, was yesterday cremated at Memorial Gardens Crematorium, Plantation Le Repentir, following a moving Thanksgiving Service for his life at the venue. The service was conducted by Pastor Lurlene James. Among mourners and sympathisers joining the bereaved relatives in paying their last respects to Mr. de Groot, were President Donald Ramotar and Minister of

Home Affairs and General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party, Clement Rohee. Mr. de Groot died last Tuesday after a period of illness. He was 83. He was born to Arthur Van Ryck and the late Gertice de Groot on May 3, 1932. Among moving tributes, his substantial service in the following capacities was acknowledged: Member of the Board of Directors of the GNNL, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the President’s College; and past member of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Broadcasting Corporation and past Secretary to the Guyana Cricket Board of Control. In his tribute on behalf of himself and siblings, his eldest son, Nicholas de Groot remembered him as a wonderful husband and father, a man of dignity and honour who remained married and committed to his wife, Cher-

yl, for 44 years. In his words, “Loving her was paramount.” By the same token, he loved and valued his children, spent quality time with them at work and play, and instilled in them organisational skills and values, which continue to shape their goals and pursuits in life. As a politician, he was disciplined, committed, loyal and a force to be reckoned with. Nicholas recalls his father in his early political life, having had the distinct honour of dining with her Majesty the Queen of England on an official assignment. Friend of 25 years, Bish Panday, with whom he worked on Guyana Cricket Board of Control (GBC), acknowledged his significant contribution to the Board, recalling that his meetings were always animated. “He was a man of superior wisdom; always committed to doing something for his country

President Donald Ramotar...

‘Mashramani is an important signpost in our national life’ - It symbolises the dawn of freedom and democracy

CELEBRATING the 45th anniversary of any event is a significant achievement, much more the meteoric rise to the status of a Republic after years of being considered a mere colony. In the words of President Donald Ramotar, “Mashramani is an important signpost in our national life; it symbolises the dawn of freedom and democracy; it represents a call to sustain the national effort that brought about freedom, which is critical in consolidating our democracy, and promoting national unity.” The following is the full text of his message sent the nation on this important milestone in our history: “Inspired by a vision of a united, just, democratic, and prosperous society, Guyana threw off the yoke of British colonialism in 1966; and just four years later, on February 23, 1970, elevated our status to that of a Republic. “Today, forty-five years on, Guyanese of every walk of life, in every village, in every region have come together to celebrate this historic milestone. “As we celebrate our Republic, we first of all recall and salute the heroism, the sacrifices and the selflessness of our people who made it possible for all of us to live in this strong and vibrant democracy. We remember and salute our brothers and sisters all across the country, and our friends across the world, whose solidarity made it possible for us to defeat colonialism and establish this Republic.

“All of them, through their determined struggles, ensured that Guyanese today, more than at any time before, enjoy the right of living in a just, united and prosperous

country. “Accordingly, as a nation, we renew, on this historic day, our pledge to build a better life for all, working closely with all sectors of our society. As we renew our pledge on this the 45th Anniversary of our Republic, we also take pride in, and celebrate, the progress we have made since 1970, and more so since 1992 towards a better life for all, and a more united society. We renew our pledge, knowing that today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will bring even more joy than today. “As we renew this pledge, our people are conscious of the fact that, as their community gets clean water, electric-

the determined efforts of this democratically elected government since 1992, to ensure a better life for all. “Indeed, working together, we have helped to restore the dignity of all Guyanese through the broadening access to basic services previously denied to them; in opening the doors to education; the economic opportunities that have been created and in the gathering pace of our country’s economic growth that creates the resources for further advances in improving the lives of all our communities. “Our policies and our programmes are all based on the quest for a just society, in which individuals and communities are free to practice

their beliefs, their traditions, and their cultures without fear. “As we rededicate ourselves to building a better life for all, we are conscious that some of the legacies of the past continue to disfigure our nation in the present; that we have not wholly removed the cancer of poverty from our society; that we have only moved slowly towards building a truly egalitarian society; that we still have challenges to overcome. “As we renew our pledge for a better life for all, we need to work together. I therefore call on all Guy-

anese, from all stations of life, to rededicate ourselves, and work together on the big challenges facing our country, so that as today is better than yesterday, tomorrow must be better than today for all the people of our country. “Fellow Guyanese, we need to dedicate ourselves to the building of a socially cohesive nation, always working to create a common identity as Guyanese, united in diversity, bound together by the same vision of creating a harmonious society based on truly universal values. “Mashramani is an important signpost in our na-

tional life. It symbolises the dawn of freedom and democracy. It represents a call to sustain the national effort that brought about freedom, which is critical in consolidating our democracy, and promoting national unity. It calls on all Guyanese to unite and defeat poverty and underdevelopment. It calls on all of us to work together for a better future. Let us therefore renew our pledge to build a better life for all. “Wherever you are, at home or abroad, I wish you a happy Mashramani. “A Happy 45th Republic Anniversary.”

From page 2 or the organisation he served without looking for any reward,” Panday said. Meanwhile, Mr. de Groot was eulogised by his sister-in-law, Ambassador Elisabeth Harper, as being an accomplished individual, and a nationalist who had his country at heart. He saw the development of his country as second to none, and was always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. She recalled that he served on many Boards, and with distinction. Mention was made of his significant contribution to the enhancement of the entities, through his visionary ideas, wise counsel and timely advice. And although he was preoccupied, he still found time to set up and manage his own business in plastic and packaging. Ambassador Harper alluded to de Groot’s passion for writing, and his contribution to both the Guyana Chronicle on whose Board he served and the Weekend Mirror newspapers. He was also remembered for the programme ‘Radio Review’, which he hosted on the GBC during the 1990s. Having initially served under the Burnham administration, he later adapted to the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), and in time became a strong supporter and remained committed to the time of his demise. She described him as one who was resolute in his outlook, and never gave up in defending his ideas. She passionately recalled his contribution to President’s College as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and his intrinsic desire to see the institution remain one of the top schools in Guyana. Mr. David de Groot will be missed by those whose lives he touched in diverse ways... and he will be missed for the spicy relationship he shared with his wife, Cheryl, she assured. He leaves to mourn his wife, Mrs. Cheryl de Groot, six children and other relatives and friends.

Despite criticism in some quarters…

Many express support for Harper as PM

WHILE the line of the Alliance, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), has been to attack the nomination of Elisabeth Harper as the ruling Party’s prime ministerial candidate, there have been many expressions of support for her by way of noticeable outpouring of this on popular social media platforms. Harper herself said yesterday, “I have received so many messages of goodwill and support. Their sincerity is overwhelming and touching. I am deeply bolstered by this support.” Former President of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC), Gillian Burton, who switched allegiance from the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) to the People’s Progressive Par-

ty / Civic (PPP/C) in 2011, was one of the many such persons. Taking to the popular so-

CJ grants 15 petitioners $8M+ bail pending determination of their cases By George Barclay ACTING Chief Justice Mr Ian Chang, SC, last Friday granted 15 petitioners bail amounting to $8,050,000 pending determination of their cases. Particulars follow: For possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, Gary Frank was placed on $150,000 bail; Leroy Ziggy Gonputh was placed on $375,000 bail; Mahendra Ramsuchit, $2,000,000 bail; Narendra Narine Persaud, $375,000 bail; Alkeisha Anderson, $1,000,000 bail; Keith Massiah, $100,000 bail; and Richard Daniels, $1,000,000 bail.

ed woman to withstand those negative-minded beings, and forge ahead. I am very confident that the PPP/C has earmarked and endorsed one of the many such women in Guyana today in the person of Mrs Elisabeth Harper, our Prime Minister-in waiting.” Minister of Education and former Human Services and Social Security Minister, Priya Manickchand, shared similar sentiments, and also

took to her Facebook page. She said, “I woke up happy and light, knowing that we have moved a place in our country's history with the nomination of a bright, capable woman as the Prime Ministerial Candidate of one of the largest Political Parties in these parts. “And then I read this: ‘I suspect they (the PPP/C) used a woman because they are looking at the woman-vote. but I think in a country like this, where the system is very tyrannical and authoritarian, people looking for changes are looking to put strong people that could run the next government.’” According to Minister Manickchand, “Sexism is alive and well! Guyanese women must resolve to crush this under their heels at every turn.” Guyana Reparations Committee Chairman, Dr Eric Phillips, couldn’t agree more. He said, “I don’t know why the Combined Opposition would comment nega-

tively on the selection of Mrs Harper as the prime ministerial candidate. Have some class and tell us what you will do; show some dignity.” Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, added his two cents to the debate, saying: “In my considered view, Mrs Harper is an excellent choice. Once again, the PPP has proven to be the pacesetter, giving Guyana, her first female Prime Minister. “We gave Guyana her first female President in Comrade Janet Jagan. We gave Guyana her first female Chief Justice and Chancellor of the Judiciary, the Hon. Desiree Bernard. We ensure that our list of candidates for elections have gender balance. We have led again by example. We do not merely speak about gender equality and women empowerment; we actually support our words by action.” Such comments reflect the support for Harper as prime ministerial material in most quarters, if not all.

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

On freedom and the Liberation of Guyana AS Guyanese celebrate as a nation their country’s Republican status and the freedoms currently being enjoyed in this country, there is need to reflect on the extant threat by those who aspire to high office and have no qualms in visiting destruction and tragedy on Guyana and Guyanese. The very real fear that the Opposition’s utterances and actions would devolve into violence is an extant reality of an ongoing cycle that has its genesis in the infamous x-13 Plan, allegedly crafted by Hamilton Green and Forbes Burnham, with proven external collaborative and enabling forces, and continuing throughout Guyana’s history in various guises. Approximately a decade ago, during the height of the “Buxton Resistance” and the “PNC slo’ fiah, mo’ fiah” campaign, four GuySuCo workers were kidnapped and murdered aback of Buxton; sleeping babies from an adjoining community were slain, along with their parents and older siblings; a sitting minister of Government was gunned down in his home, together with his siblings and security guard; people having a recreational drink at a bar were gunned down; businessmen were scythed down like so much chaff, while entire blocks of business entities were either looted or burnt flat. One May day, early in the morning, Premchand Barran and his 10-yr-old son, Mervyn Barran from

Enterprise were executed in the backdam where they went to catch shrimp to augment family income. Not far from them Mr. Dhanpaul Jagdeo from Non Pareil was found. Each was executed. One policeman who persevered in investigating the murders, police detective Harry Kooseran, was gunned down. The PPP adjured its supporters not to retaliate, so the opposition’s plan to ignite a race war was averted, but the pressure continued. The list of atrocities was endless and spiralling out of the control of the governmental construct. The security sector heads, as evidence showed through tape-recordings and other subsequent revelations, were complicit in these criminal and murderous forays by one section of the Guyanese community against the other. During that period in time, the inflammatory opposition rhetoric and actions continued, to the extent where they labelled murderous thieves and rapists as freedom fighters and even draped the body of the notorious Lindon “Blackie” London with the Golden Arrowhead – giving him hero status, was never condemned by the Guyana Human Rights Association and the Opposition collective of ‘NGOs’, including the PNC/APNU/ WPA women’s arm –Red Thread, which have much clout with the foreign ambassadorial delegates through intermingling on the cocktail route. The police ranks were helpless to intervene in the wanton slaughter and destruction countrywide, because they too came under fire, being gunned

down on the streets as they performed their duties, or even while they performed personal tasks during their off-duty periods. Then the bodies of the criminals began dropping like flies, either through clandestine actions, or through confrontations with the more patriotic members of the joint services. It was only then that the voices of conscience, including and especially the Roman Catholic-led Guyana Human Rights Association arose to vociferously condemn the gunning down of “innocent young men”, even though the “innocent young men” were known thieves and murderers. The perennial protesters, who had shown no conscience and remorse for the destruction of innocent lives of men, women and children peacefully going about their business, or even sleeping in their beds, came out howling, even compiling a ‘dossier’ in which they listed criminals with their victims, claiming all those people died from extra-judicial killing by police ranks. It is said that if a lie is told often enough then it is perceived as fact. That lie has gained traction in international communities, especially through the AFC-controlled Guyana Transparency International. This period of several dark and tragic times of Guyana was precipitated by ruthlessly power-hungry opportunistic politicians who do not care if they ‘bruk up’ the country in their relentless bid for power; and the community through which they directed their murderous campaigns was the PNC stronghold of Buxton, which was driven to

the ground during that dark period of that community’s history. Today that community is rising like a phoenix from the ashes of that destructive past as they join with Government to rebuild their community. Subsequently the Opposition used another PNC stronghold to create strife between the two major races in Guyana; and it started during the election campaign and continued with the protests against the justifiable restructured tariffs for electricity in Linden. A pamphlet, in sync with Keon Gibson’s highly racist publication, was circulated by PNC/APNU activists, including some senior members, in Linden prior to the elections, which accuses President Donald Ramotar of practising racism against Afro-Guyanese. Taken into consideration the above, as well as calls by the youth arm of APNU for the boycott of Indian run businesses, as well as businesses of African Guyanese who eschew race politics to work on developmental projects driven by Government, the pillorying of African leaders in Government whom they call “houseboys”, even against bureaucratic technocrats merely doing a job within the Government construct, and the racist rhetoric against GuySuCo workers, conscientious Guyanese felt constrained to issue a timely reminder and warning of the consequences of these inflammatory racist rhetoric and actions by the joint Opposition and their satellites. President Donald Ramotar’s grandmother was purely Afro-Guyanese, his grandfather was purely Amerindian, and his father was purely Indo-Guyanese, which equates to him being purely the ultimate, quint-

essential Guyanese. His close family members represent all the races in nearequal measure across the country, so how could he discriminate against any one Guyanese race, given his inhered biological and cultural composition? The racists refuse to recognise that all Guyanese, especially from the African, Indian and American communities can claim Donald Ramotar for their own. It was David DeCaires who first began the campaign of race-hate accusations against Dr. Jagan, through the Stabroek News, after the greatest humanitarian in the western world made a speech in Canada decrying the way Africans are generally treated; and just as the anti-PPP faction twisted Dr. Jagan’s comments out of context to infuse racist overtones, the opportunistic joint Opposition, especially the professional protestors, who mean to subjugate the public servants, whom they see as their personal property, went into a frenzy of accusations and volatile rhetoric to stir up more race-hate and anti-government actions because the public servants are now protesting the Opposition’s actions, especially the relentless Budget cuts in the 10th Parliament, which threatened their very survival. Buxtonians also are rejecting the calls from their leaders to be divisive once again; because they have been there, done that, and they were the ones who suffered the consequences while their leaders went their merry ways with their air-conditioned vehicles, their fancy houses, and their security guards, and their children were being sent to the fanciest education-

al establishments, while the children of the Buxtonians were socialised to become criminals in the “Buxton Resistance” army by their leaders and their henchmen, with many of them killed by the security forces, leaving grieving and devastated family members behind. The Buxtonians are once again experiencing growth and development and are refusing to allow their young men to once more become cannon fodder for the elitist opposition forces. So Lindeners and residents of Agricola became the next targets for the Opposition’s army of destruction. Those who lived through and experienced the horrors of those years are terrified of this trend to the incitement of violence and hatred, as exemplified by Freddie Kissoon’s raging against a sitting Minister of Government, because of the potential for the destructive elements – the ‘Dogs of War’, who could once again be unleashed upon this country. The signs are troubling. Not only with enjoyment of this day’s festivities, but also with reflection on what this day means to Guyanese; and the need to sustain and protect all their freedoms that should hallmark Mashramani – the celebration of all things good in Guyana, achieved after much struggle and sacrifice by our heroes of yore, the Board-of-Directors, Management and staff of the Guyana National Newspapers Ltd (GNNL) extend Mashramani greetings to all Guyanese.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Monday February 23, 2015

Dr Ramsammy: Elisabeth Harper is an excellent Prime Ministerial candidate AGRICULTURE Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy says he is excited that the PPP/C has chosen Ms. Elisabeth Harper as its Prime Ministerial Candidate. The following is the full text of a letter he sent the media on the subject: “The PPP/C has selected an excellent candidate and Ms. Harper will find a very supportive environment in the PPP/C and among its supporters. The PPP/C has never been afraid to bring out new candidates and every election we see new people on the PPP/C Candidate List. “She is only the first new person revealed for the 2015 List. Many more will be put forward as the campaign takes off. In selecting Ms. Harper, the PPP/C demon-

strates the significant role women have played in the PPP/C and the continued deter-

mination of the PPP/C to create the space for women empowerment. “As a Minister in the PPP/C Government, I believe that this is another proud moment for the PPP/C. The PPP/C previously was bold in electing a

woman to be its Presidential Candidate and she became our President. President Janet Jagan served also as Prime Minister before her election as President. “Given my confidence that the PPP/C will win the 2015 elections, we can be assured that Ms. Harper will be Guyana’s next Prime Minister. The PPP/C would have ensured that once again a woman occupies this important role in Guyana. “Ms. Harper is a distinguished Guyanese. She has achieved much in her professional career. Ms. Harper is highly regarded as Guyana’s Director General in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her eligibility as our Prime Minister is beyond question.

“I noticed that Mr. Nagamootoo has expressed criticism on the nomination of Ms. Harper as the PPP/C Prime Minister Candidate. It would have been more appropriate for Mr. Nagamootoo to congratulate Ms. Harper as the Prime Minister Candidate. “Given our commitment as a country to ensure women play prominent roles in Guyana’s development and the global campaign for women to have equal chances to play leading roles in national development, the ascendency of Ms. Harper to the Prime Ministerial candidacy should be something all Guyana applaud. This does not mean everyone will support Ms. Harper and the PPP/C. But at least we should celebrate the fact that

such possibilities exist in our country. “The fact that Mr. Nagamootoo’s first inclination is to be critical is very compelling evidence of a politician who has no moral compass. He might hate the PPP/C; it is his prerogative, justified or not. But as one who seeks such a high post and to be a leader in Guyana, he should have the decency to see that one of our sisters has attained such a high place in our society. He may not like the PPP/C, but he should have the decency to acknowledge that she has achieved a distinction that few women in history around the world have attained. “When the WPA announced Ms. Sheila Holder

as the PM candidate, I congratulated her, even though I made it clear that I could not support the WPA. But I expect little else from a bitter politician. “I know that Mr. Nagamootoo would find something to diminish the importance of this nomination. But the fact is that the PPP/C’s Presidential candidate is superior in every way to Mr. Nagamootoo’s Presidential colleague, Mr. Granger. “Ms. Harper is a much more dignified candidate with integrity than Mr. Nagamootoo, by far. Mr. Nagamootoo will find that this candidate would enjoy more support than he could ever imagine.” DR. LESLIE RAMSAMMY

The Opposition Coalition APNU was had just been checkmated cuckolded into

THE Opposition coalition was given a free lesson in shock and awe when the PPP/C announced its Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2015 regional and general Elections, in Her Excellency Ambassador Elisabeth Harper, Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One question which immediately comes to mind is: Why are they shocked especially? By ‘they’ I particularly refer to David Granger and some of the Burnham clan who are still around. Unlike APNU’s scandal-tainted choice for Home Affairs Minister, Winston Felix, Mrs. Harper is a consummate professional and a Diplomat par excellence ,who has been in the Public Service for almost three decades. She would have worked under the despotic PNC (now APNU) regime, where she would have witnessed massive denial of employment in the Public

Service to those who were not card-carrying PNC members. She would have witnessed that while Guyana’s Foreign Service reached its epitome at that time, the PNC’s capacity to deliver essential services had virtually collapsed. Infrastructure remained severely dilapidated. The supply of potable water was limited to a small proportion of the population; drainage and irrigation systems had deteriorated to the point where they were no longer useful; and health and education services had become so inadequate, that social indicators for the country had fallen to among the lowest in the Caribbean. The monies that were pumped into the Foreign Service by the despotic PNC regime at that time was used on two levels, first to ensure that Guyana’s image on the international stage remained one of exaltation; and secondly, to ensure that the economic and social reality

in Guyana remained concealed from the international limelight. Mrs. Harper would have also seen the post-1992 catalytical transformation currently taking place under the PPP/C Government. She would have witnessed firsthand the return of democracy and the rule of law; equality among all Guyanese; prosperity and the resurgence of Guyana’s economy, which can be described as nothing less than an miracle, given the state it was left in by Carl Greenidge and Co. What the Grangers, Burnhams and others a did not cater for is that Mrs. Harper does not view life through the prism of race, but as a Guyanese and a human being who could distinguish between right and wrong. There are some Facebook politicians who claim that Mrs. Harper doesn’t have a constituency or that she cannot deliver anything for the PPP/C at the 2015 elec-

tions. The fact is that they are running scared, because they know the caliber of the woman and what she brings to the table. They are worried of her presence on the slate of Guyana’s only multi-racial party that has created an environment where people of all communities are ensured sufficient safeguards to their life, property, dignity, and honour, besides facilitating the fulfillment of their needs and aspirations. Mrs. Harper sees a Government that has embarked on determined steps towards a brighter future for this nation. A future without discrimination or exclusion of anyone. Rekindling the excitement of past years is a Government committed to public service solely to give everyone a better quality of life. In other words, the appointment of Mrs. Harper has political genius written all over it; the opposition coalition was just checkmated. CEDRIC LORD

agreeing 40-60 partnership

IT IS no secret now why the why the AFC insisted on secret talks with APNU. The AFC had a secret strategy and missile for which the APNU had no defense. As a longtime supporter of the PNC, I am at a loss for words in expressing my disappoint in the APNU. A lot of APNU supporters are bewildered as to why the APNU will agree to a 40-60 share of parliamentary seats. The word is out that APNU never agreed to this formula, but was forced to accept it to save face, and tell the Guyanese people that there is a coalition. At the secret talks, APNU got the shock of their lives when they realized that the AFC engages a Jamaican negotiator who acted more as an enforcer than a negotiator. The Jamaican took APNU to task, and they had only one answer. YES! YES! YES!The shock is now over, and the Jamaican is gone. And the AFC is laughing and APNU is crying. I pity these Guys. I will not wait around to be losers like the APNU. The coalition is ALREADY PROVING NOTHING UNITED. BRYAN CARR

Mash 2015 Messages... PPP...

Guyanese have every reason to celebrate THE People's Progressive Party (PPP) extends greetings to all Guyanese on the occasion of the 45th Anniversary of the attainment of republican status. As we all know, Guyana became a Republic on February 23, 1970. The granting of Republican status brings a formal end to British colonial rule, following the attainment of political independence on May 26, 1966. The PPP is proud of the vanguard role it has played in the struggle for national independence, and by extension republican status. Indeed, the PPP has always been instrumental in every major political and constitutional advance the country has seen since the Party was formed sixty-five years ago. These included universal adult suffrage; internal self government; the struggle for national independence; and for a return of democracy after it was taken away by the PNC regime. The PPP has also been in the forefront of the reconstruction efforts, more particularly the physical and social infrastructure after twenty-eight years of devastating and dictatorial PNC rule. Guyanese have every reason to celebrate this significant milestone, even though it is public knowledge that independence for Guyana was deliberately withheld until the PPP was removed from office in 1964 through the intrigues and machinations of western vested interests in collaboration with local reactionary forces. From one of the more prosperous countries in the region, the country was reduced to the poorest country in the western hemisphere as a result of twenty-eight years of PNC minority rule.

This anniversary celebration is taking place at a critical moment in our political life, when Guyanese are once again preparing to go to the polls following a decision taken by His Excellency, President Donald Ramotar to prorogue parliament and subsequently name a date for general and regional elections after all reasonable attempts to reach consensus on the way forward were rejected by the combined parliamentary opposition namely the APNU and the AFC. Our Party remains convinced that history and time is on our side, despite being cheated and manipulated by dark and hostile forces in the past. Like a phoenix, the PPP has always emerged triumphant, thanks to the support of the Guyanese masses. The PPP has full confidence in the ability of the Guyanese people to make the right choices as they go to the polls on May 11, and overwhelmingly re-elect President Donald Ramotar and the PPP/C administration to the seat of government. The PPP encourages all eligible Guyanese to exercise that right to vote, and in so doing give true meaning and substance to our sense of nationhood and national sovereignty. The PPP takes this opportunity to pledge its unconditional loyalty to the cause and wellbeing of the Guyanese people as we seek, collectively, to create a peaceful, progressive and prosperous Guyana. May the dreams and aspirations of each and every Guyanese be realized as we continue to work as one people, one nation with a common destiny. A Happy Mashramani to one and all!

FITUG...

Let’s celebrate to the fullest this significant milestone THIS message is being communicated within a multi-fac-

Let peace, democracy and development triumph FEBRUARY was chosen as the month to usher in Guyana’s Republican status 45 years ago for one major reason: It was in February, 1763, on Plantation Magdalenenburg, Canje, Berbice, that the ill-treated, long-suffering and angry African slaves began a momentous rebellion against their unconscionable Dutch tormentors. The Kofi-led revolutions spread throughout Berbice in a structured, militaristic manner before its successes were compromised and defeated after nearly one year. Guyana’s spirit of rebellion against the evils of domination, racism, slavery, exploitation and colonialism was lit long before others in these parts. FITUG, the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana, therefore and foremost salutes the Spirit of 1763 as we celebrate the 45th Anniversary of our Republicanism. That status itself was meant to reinforce our four-year Independence by fashioning our government, our Constitution and Parliament in our own context and image, justifiably relinquishing the colonial oriented monarchy. FITUG wishes our nation a happy and a peaceful, joyous Mashramani, the entertaining creative celebration after work and achievement. Forty-five years of a nation’s life is a reasonable period to use for assessment. Is the Republic where we, old and young, want it to be? Are FITUG’s thousands of workers enjoying a quality of life they deserve? These questions, at the Republic’s milestone, are posed within the most interesting context of preparations for elections in a few weeks’ time. What better time for reflection within which to make choices once again to install the best we have to manage our resources as they chart the nation’s future. We the people know what is now there; we know what else we wish and prefer. The choice will soon be ours once again. May the oneness of the Republic at Mashramani time carry through to Election Day in May. Let peace, democracy and development triumph. Happy Mashramani

eted context. Primarily, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) wishes to extend its warmest congratulations to the State, government and people of Guyana on the occasion of the forty-fifth anniversary of Republicanism, the actual date being Monday, February 23, 2015 Republic Day. GAWU is also acutely aware that the country is also in the vital preparatory mode for General and Regional elections in the Independence month of May, a little over two months away. That expression of our democracy, coming virtually two years before its constitutionally preferred, speaks to the 45-year-old Republic’s credentials as a democracy, preserved through all attendant sabotage, political and constitutional challenges and doses of economic hardship. So, amidst the Republic’s Anniversary observances, including the artistic, cultural, entertaining Mashramani celebrations, Guyanese will consider political choices; will grapple with consistent, conflicting and aggressive messages and appeals by old and new politicians. As a people, our will must be expressed according to our ultimate choices. GAWU takes this opportunity to remind the nation, especially those youthful citizens under forty, that four years after the 1966 Independence, there was again political consensus among our major parties and groups that we should become a Republic within the Commonwealth in February, 1970. Our major political leaders agreed that our Independence should be solidified and given the patriotic, nationalistic status of a Republic. That ushered in a Presidency, added governmental responsibilities and later a new Constitution. The years 1970 to 2015 were not without setbacks, but also tremendous progress from the standpoint during the colonial era. Many will argue that 1992 onwards reintroduced a new era of democracy and development. GAWU will urge serious introspection and assessment at this time. As a union, GAWU uses workers’ quality of life, from by-gone periods to the present, as a yardstick of personal and collective measurement. GAWU members, workers and all Guyanese are hereby urged to celebrate the Republic’s forty-fifth to your fullest or modest extent, all the whole considering your country’s choices for the continuing development of our country and a progressive future beyond May 11, 2015. The future then is in our hands. A Happy Reflective Mashramani 2015

PNC/R...

Mashramani: A time for deep introspection THE People’s National Congress Reform is pleased to extend greetings and good wishes to all of the people of Guyana as we celebrate the 45th Anniversary of our Republican status. The anniversary of the Republic, apart from the national celebration of Mashramani, is an occasion for reflection and assessment of the state of our nation, 45 years after Guyana was declared a Republic. In that regard, it must be evident to all that we, as Guyanese, need to undertake a frank and honest evaluation of whether our nation is headed in the direction that would bring us all, particularly our young people, progress and prosperity. Our Party has joined our partners in A Partnership for National Unity to declare and dedicate our energies to making 2015 the Year of democratic renewal. However, we are conscious that, as a nation, we are challenged to remove the threats posed by the scourge of criminality and violence; corruption; the continued lawlessness in high places; the intolerance of views other than those expressed by the Administration; all of which contribute to infusing a sense of despair and the feeling of hopelessness that is currently afflicting the young people of this nation. This is an election year, and we urge all Guyanese, especially the youth of this nation, to vote on Election Day May 11, 2015. Accordingly, the PNCR wishes all of the Guyanese people a Happy Republic holiday, and a joyous celebration of Mashramani, as we pray that the spirit of peace, love and unity will dwell among us on the 45th anniversary of our Republic.

AFC...

May the spirit of reconciliation, harmony define our celebrations AS GUYANA reflects on forty-five years as a Republic, the Alliance For Change joins with all Guyanese in the hope that a spirit of reconciliation and harmony will define our celebrations today. This Mashramani, we recognise that if we begin with a commitment to national unity and inclusivity based on the principles of equality, and work towards a realization of these ideals, will we truly be able to transform this great nation. We who are blessed with so much beauty and bounty must halt our self-imposed blight. This 45th Mashramani celebrations take place against the backdrop of pending General and Regional Elections. At this special time, we urge all Guyanese to reflect on our symbols of nationhood, and to be thoughtful and introspective of that journey which has brought us here. We must learn from the lessons each passing year has taught us. The Alliance For Change regrets that our most supreme symbols of nationhood, our Republican Constitution and our Parliament, have been under severe threat recently. But we take strength in the fact that change is around the corner, and will soon be here. Towards that final drive, the AFC commits to a campaign that is free from racial intolerance and verbal abuse, and the forging of a new Guyana, where all will be respected for who they are and what they stand for, so that all of us will benefit from this beauty and bounty. Though we are a land of various peoples and cultures, our diversity is our greatest strength. May the values we as Guyanese hold dear unite us all to a lasting peace and happiness. Happy Mashramani, Guyana!

Claims period ends…

President satisfied with turnout at GECOM offices THE Claims segment of the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) Claims and Objections period ended yesterday, and several of the Commission’s registration offices remained open well past the 2:00pm cut-off time to cater to every individual who turned up. This was according to Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DCEO), Vishnu Persaud, who also told this newspaper that the response to the Claims period has been good. Guyana Chronicle understands that during the Claims

period, there have been thousands of new registrations, changes and corrections to existing registration information and transfers due to issues related to change of address, etc. GECOM also facilitated the replacement of identification cards requested and retakes of photographs. Meanwhile, President Donald Ramotar, in an invited comment yesterday, expressed his satisfaction with the massive turnout by eligible voters to ensure that they are enfranchised

in the lead-up to the May 11 General and Regional Elections.

President Donald Ramotar

“I understand that there is a surge of people getting transfers. I haven’t spoken to my technical people as yet, but in the time that we had, I believe we have done all we can to enfranchise the Guyanese people,” he told the Guyana Chronicle. He said that coming closer to the polls, an increasing number of eligible voters are more aware, and are taking advantage of the opportunities provided by GECOM to ensure that come May 11, they are able to cast their

votes. The Objections period is expected to end on February 27. The Claims and Objections period is the next step after a continuous cycle of registration, the last one being the Seventh Cycle of Continuous Registration. The Seventh Cycle of Continuous Registration commenced on November 30, 2014, and allowed persons the opportunity to register for the first time; conduct transfers; and make changes to their registration details.

Prior to the start of the Claims and Objections period, the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) was published to allow for review by eligible voters. The PLE’s publication, as well as several other operational undertakings, had to be completed before a date for the Claims and Objections period was named. The Claims and Objections period is necessary to finalise the Official List of Electors (OLE), which will facilitate voting on Elections Day. (Vanessa Narine)

Taxi driver dies as car topples - in alleged attempt to avoid traffic rank with radar gun at Houston By Navendra Seoraj TAXI driver Daniel Hinds, 26, lost his life yesterday on the Houston Bypass Road after his speeding car toppled when he reportedly tried evading a traffic rank bearing a radar gun, eyewitnesses said. Hinds, of Mocha, East Bank Demerara, was driving motorcar PPP 7130, and it appeared that he was not wearing his seat belt because his body was found lying outside of the car, according to eyewitnesses. According to his father, Ralph, he’d left home around midnight on Saturday. “He left the house at around midnight last night, after having a discussion with me and a pastor from the area,” Hinds’ father told the Guyana Chronicle yesterday. Noting that he and his son had been going through a rough patch following a family matter which occurred recently, Mr Hinds said: “Nevertheless, we managed to patch things up, and Daniel left to start working. After lunch, I got a call saying that Daniel met with an accident.” That call, he said, has since left him distraught, because he and his son were close. Daniel was not only the youngest of his three children, but his “hand-and foot” as well. And as such his loss has come as a big shock to him and his family. Apart from his father, Daniel’s mother, Yonette Wilson expressed her sadness on the death of her son. “He was a good boy; and he worked hard for whatever he had. It’s very sad that he had to go this way,” she said. She also said that her son doesn’t normally drive fast, so it came as quite a surprise to her, when she heard that he was speeding. Besides his mother and father, Daniel Hinds leaves to mourn his two siblings, and his girlfriend and their newborn baby.

78 days to go…

On clarity, disclosures and prospects By Vanessa Narine GUYANESE on May 11 face an important choice and the over-the-week additional details on these choices have been disclosed – the leadership tickets of the contesting political parties, in particular. The combined Opposition has coalesced into an alliance of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) and will head into the polls as a unit. APNU’s Leader, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, as the presidential candidate and AFC Executive, Moses Nagamootoo, as the prime ministerial candidate. The ruling People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) on the other hand has thrown something of a “curve ball” into the political arena, with the introduction of career diplomat, Elisabeth Harper, as its prime ministerial candidate. In the political musings that have been bandied about over possible nominees, Harper was not a name that had attracted consideration. Nevertheless, the announcement was made yesterday by the PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee. The 57-year-old, widely endorsed by the party including her running mate, President Donald Ramotar, will take over from outgoing Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who has served in the capacity for over two decades. ASSURANCES There has been finality, as well as assurances, in other areas. After nearly two days of intense deliberations, an agreed Media Code of Conduct (MCC) that will serve as a guide to the conduct of media operatives and media houses during the 2015 National and Regional Elections campaign season has been signed. The 2015 MCC is an amended version of the one used during the 2011 election campaign season and reflects the changing environment and lessons learnt from previous years. The 2015 MCC was agreed following a two-day media forum organised by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to review the 2011 document and to improve on it. GECOM is also expected to have political parties sign onto a Code of Conduct. Additionally, Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield, has assured that polling places and staffers will be sufficient. He explained that the intention is not to have more than 400 persons assigned to vote at a particular polling station. As such, he reasoned that there may be need to increase the current number of polling stations, an increase from an estimated 2,260 polling stations. Asked about staffing for Election Day, Lowenfield stated that an estimated 12,000 workers will be needed and currently GECOM is working to fill that complement.

Also, the Official List of Electors (OLE) is likely to be published by April 13, while the Revised List of Electors (RLE), following the end of the ongoing Claims and Objections period, could possibly be completed by March 16. “We are moving to ensuring that all the processes, as the law prescribed are satisfied every step of the way,” Lowenfield has said. QUESTIONS In other areas there are questions. Going into the coalition negotiations with the five-party APNU, the AFC controlled 21 percent of the combined Opposition seats in Parliament, but came out with a guarantee of 40 percent of the Cabinet, and at least 12 parliamentary seats, should they succeed at the May 11, 2015 General and Regional polls. Analysts have since concluded that the minority Opposition party has trumped the larger five-party APNU, which held 79 percent of the Opposition seating arrangement in the House going into the negotiation. Some politicos question whether the alliance will be successful, particularly given that the initial reactions were characterised by resignations and expressions of betrayal, among other things. In other spheres yet, questions were answered. Clarity on the role of former President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo headed into the elections was given. The incumbent President announced that he will head the newly created National Economic Council (NEC). Mr Ramotar explained that he decided to establish this council in order “to bring greater support to my government in enhancing and accelerating our transformational and modernisation agenda.” Over the next 79 days, there are expected to be additional lines of questioning. EXPECTATIONS On the issue of lines, the particular ‘lines of campaigning’ are also expected to be pronounced on via the political parties, as are the dates for their campaign launches. The PPP, some politicos say, will launch theirs on March 8 at their founder’s memorial at Babu John, Region 6 (East Berbice / Corentyne). Recently, the ruling party’s General Secretary, Clement Rohee, has insisted and cited references of the fact that the PPP has stayed true to the principles of their founder, Dr Cheddi Jagan – one in particular being “development with a human face.” Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon, has also addressed the party’s principles. Recently, he was most emphatic that the PPP/C does not

just respect diversity, but also nurtures it. Speaking on the programme, “Political Scope” aired on the National Communications Network (NCN), Dr Luncheon took the opportunity to remind his audience that diversity has always existed within society since the beginning of the human race. He also cautioned, however, that the problem is not diversity, which is inevitable, but responses to it; and he said history is replete with examples of extremist approaches to this normal phenomenon in society. Meanwhile, in the Opposition camp, a date for the launch of the Alliance’s campaign is also expected to kick off soon. As it relates to the voters, in the lead up to the polls, a significant expectation is to continue seeing the ‘workings of a country’ continue as per normal – as it has so far. The Ministry of Education on Thursday launched its Atlantic Reader Books 1, 2 and 3 at the Port Mourant Primary School in Region 6 (East Berbice-Corentyne). Delivering the feature address at the event, President Donald Ramotar congratulated the ministry’s team for the initiative, which he said should be seen as a beginning for much more to come, in the line of locally produced literature for schools. EXXON Mobil brought Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Mr Robert Persaud up to speed on activities it will be undertaking here over the next few weeks and disclosed that its rig has departed Louisiana, in the USA, for the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana, where it is expected to commence drilling in mid-March. Guyana’s debt-to-GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ratio was declared as among the lowest in the Caribbean, according to a report just released by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).The report indicates that Guyana’s debt ratio amounts to some 58 percent of GDP, and is bettered only by Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, and Haiti. By contrast, Jamaica and Barbados recorded debt-to-GDP ratios of 140 and 115 percent respectively. And the country moved up five points on the 2015 World Press Freedom Index and currently ranks 62 out of 180 countries, with a rating of 27.21 – an important accomplishment, according to Presidential Advisor on Governance, Gail Teixeira.The 2015 World Press Freedom Index highlights the worldwide deterioration in freedom of information in 2014. Since the launch of the Press Freedom Index report, another body, Freedom House, also made public its report, “Discarding Democracy: Return to the Iron Fist,” which assesses the level of freedom globally. Guyana was deemed free by Freedom House with an overall rank of 2.5 out of 10, with 10 being the worst. With more good news that bad in the last week, Guyanese have another 79 days to go and can look forward to another week of hustings by the political players.

Measures put in place to address health sector challenges - issues raised in 2014 report

THE performance of the health sector remains a priority for Cabinet, according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, noting that Cabinet sub-committees monitor several sectors for the inter-current events affecting them. Dr. Luncheon explained, however, that the monitoring of the health sector is directed at three areas: child mortality, maternal mortality and the licencing of facilities. In 2014, a report by the Health Ministry, reviewed by the Cabinet monitoring group and discussed by Cabinet in January was completed in February this year. It was pointed out that the sector had achieved its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with respect to maternal mortality, although 18 deaths were recorded across the country, 10 of these at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The non-compliance or indifference to reporting on maternal deaths, with specific regards to the timing of their reportage within recognised timelines, was among the issues expressed in the report. Dr Luncheon said the report highlighted this “minimal indifference and sometimes even worse, in so far as the reporting by these private institutions.” Child mortality rates, in the report, focused on those under 5 years old and neonatal, Dr Luncheon stated. “The issues that arose in the report was the comparison and using the MDGs of the reductions from figures of earlier years (1991/92) and what we intend to achieve in the signal year of 2015.” He added that the neonatal rates had more to do with the efforts of the Health Ministry to enhance efforts to allow for the salvage of what ordinarily might have been unsalvageable births.”

He further said that creation of intensive care neonatal units have in effect contributed to the “picture of neonatal deaths that Cabinet was so distressed about.” Health Minister, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran further explained to Cabinet that the aforementioned was a population that

Dr. Roger Luncheon

is of low birth weights, and short gestation periods, with inherently high mortality. The challenge in adequate reporting was also brought to the fore by the report, said Dr. Luncheon. “We have cultural norms against fundamental tools in the evaluation of infant deaths, like post-mortems. The report commented on the considerable difficulties that exist in getting parents, perhaps institutions, and even conniving officials to enforce those requirements to have post-mortems done.

In many places it just don’t happen.” The post-mortem is a statutory part of the requirements, captured in the regulations to allow the proper delivery and maintenance of statistics. The expert groups, convened by the ministry, Dr Luncheon stated, to address the issues of culpability, whom or under what circumstances these deaths occurred, would generally express their findings and make recommendations. “Cabinet had to face those instances when either the autonomous Medical Council or lesser frequently the High Court, disposed of the recommendations of the expert group as they sought to have disciplinary measures against mal-practicing professionals, keeping in mind the Medical Act, applicable regulations, in the face of what has been reported in 2014, to overcome these obstacles to indeed ensure maximal enforcement.” With regards to complaints about the attitude of healthcare providers to patients, especially those at government-funded institutions, Dr Luncheon reiterated that over the 2001 to 2006 period, an initiative to have “Service level agreements” was instituted. These agreements cover the waiting times for non-critical and critical care at public health facilities, for example. This initiative is undertaken with assistance from various non-governmental organisations, the Cabinet Secretary explained and improvements have been seen from this intervention which has been sanctioned by the health minister. In closing Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon indicated that Cabinet is satisfied with the efforts being made and the measures being put in place by the Health Ministry to address the aforementioned issues.

GPOC urges use of its business services AREA Manager of the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) Donnette Semple is urging Guyanese to utilize the business services offered by the entity in order to keep the corporation financially viable, as it continues to deliver vital postal services. In an exclusive interview with the Guyana Chronicle, Semple said that the services offered by the GPOC include the Bill Payment service where persons can pay all utility bills. She readily noted that the Post Office offers a complete service where they deliver the bills and receive payments on behalf of the utility and remit those payments to the company on behalf of the customers.

MONEY TRANSFER SERVICE Additionally the GPOC offers a “Same Day Money Transfer Service” which allows persons to send and receive money to relatives and friends around Guyana. The service is fast, safe and reliable, she stated. The “Express mail delivery” service that is being offered allows for mail to be delivered within a day to the various parts of Guyana and within hours, based on the point of postage and delivery. She also pointed to the private letter box and the cluster letter box service being offered. The private letter box allows an individual to receive their mail in a private box at the post office at their convenience, while the cluster boxes could be

set up on request at gated communities and apartment buildings, allowing each resident to have the mail delivered to a private box which can be accessed at their convenience. She also reminded that the GPOC facilitates the payment of old age pensions in all communities. Moreover, she reminded the elderly that pensions are payable all month and as a result pensioners can visit the GPOC offices to encash their pension vouchers at their convenience. The Area Manager said that the rates being charged by the GPOC may not be the actual cost for delivering the services they offer, and so it is important that persons support the business services to ensure that rates remain stable and the services can continue.

Corbin likely to join APNU-AFC campaign FORMER People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Leader, Robert Corbin might hit the campaign trail as the A Partnership for National Unity-Alliance For Change (APNU-AFC) alliance seeks to extend its control over the National Assembly. APNU General Secretary Joseph Harmon said the seasoned former PNCR Leader is a vital resource to bolster the APNU-AFC alliance chances of getting into power. “We do not exclude anybody, in fact, you see the PPP bringing back Jagdeo and all these people for their campaign; we too are going to utilise all of our resources at our disposal. So Mr Corbin and everybody else from the APNU that have that talent that can come out there and help to motivate our people and get them out there to vote, we are going to utilise them. So Mr Corbin and any other member of APNU or the parties in APNU have a role to play and we encourage all of them to come out because this is going to be a push and an important time in the history of the country. We will require the collective energy of all of our people,” he said. FIGHTS Corbin was recently asked by the PNCR leadership to settle the disgruntlement of Lindeners following the party’s 18th Biennial Congress last year. Lindeners had complained that they were disenfranchised at the leadership elections, claiming that it was a fraud.

At the end, party leader David Granger prevailed over former Executive Aubrey Norton amid gunshot, rancour and loud protest. The Lindeners were also upset over the suspension of Linden party Coordinator Vanessa Kissoon after she refused to hand over the keys to the party’s facilities in Linden following a demand from General Secretary Oscar Clark. Kissoon was subsequently replaced by Sandra Adams, but before that, she was removed as an APNU front bencher in Parliament, making way for new comer, Dr Sandra Cummings. GOOD WORK According to Harmon, Corbin met with the restive Lindeners, listened to their concerns and was able to bring Former PNCR Leader, Robert Corbin them together. “I can say to you now that based on the excellent work that he did, we have been able to start moving our Linden campaign forward. The campaign team has been named and Mr Sharma Solomon (Region 10 Chairman) has been named Campaign Director and the issue

as it relates to party matters, those are also being addressed and it will not affect the way we move our campaign in Region 10 (Upper Demerara- Upper Berbice),” the APNU General Secretary told reporters on Friday. Meanwhile, the APNU-AFC alliance in a statement on Friday said they pledge to lead Guyana forward into a new era of accountability, human safety, financial probity, governmental transparency, parliamentary democracy and national unity, among other things. The coalition partners promised that, with the formation of a Government of national unity, they would implement a programme of governance, the main elements of which will be Constitutional reform; Economic development; financial legislation (the passage of the Anti Money-Laundering and Countering the financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill which they did not support in the 10th Parliament and the establishment of a Public Procurement Commission); the announcement of a date for Local Government Elections; introduction of a programme for healing, reconciliation and social integration; a comprehensive review of current taxation policies, including the Value-Added Tax; a review, restructuring and liberalisation of the telecommunications and information sectors; sustained improvement of crime prevention and the security environment; the reorganisation of the education, health, sports, recreation and other human service sectors; and the establishment of a comprehensive youth programme.

Calls made to reduce price for beverages, other commodities By Tajeram Mohabir

- in light of reduction in electricity rates

PRIVATE Sector Commission (PSC) Chairman Ramesh Persaud says the Commission will be analysing the impact of the 10 percent reduction in electricity rates before it makes a definitive appeal to businesses to lower prices for certain goods. Saying that it is too soon to make a definitive pronouncement, Persaud told the Guyana Chronicle that the Commission will be looking at the impact the reduction will have on savings for the different types of businesses after the first month of implementation. There have been calls from several quarters for the reduction of electricity rates to be reflected in lower prices for goods that require electricity for production and preservation. Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce President, Tajpaul Adjoda, said the savings from the trimming of electricity rates should at least be passed down to consumers, so that all will benefit from the move by Government. President Donald Ramotar last Monday announced that the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) will be reducing electricity rates by 10 percent effective March 1, in light of the drastic drop in fuel prices on the world market. Adjoda told this publication that since the announcement was made relatively early, entities in the business of food processing, the production of lumber and beverages and other goods should lower the prices for these commodities. For consumers, especially those who have occasional and

frequent evenings out with friends, a drop in prices for the various beverages would be more than welcome. And Adjoda is appealing to businesses involved in the production and vending of these products to look at ways in which prices could be cut, so that consumers could have more spending money in their pockets. A cut in the price of lumber will be a shot in the arm for the Housing Ministry’s drive in helping citizens to acquire their own homes, as it will come in handy, especially for lowincome earners. WATER RATES

There is also talk about the need for water rates to be reduced in light of the announcement by the President. This newspaper made several attempts to solicit a comment from Guyana Water Incorporated Chief Executive Officer, Shaik Baksh on the matter, but was unsuccessful. The Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) had said it was very relieved that the Government has taken the bold step to reduce electricity rates by 10 percent across the board. This announcement, the GMSA hopes, is the first step towards significantly alleviating the high overhead costs for production and distribution of “Made- in- Guyana” products. “Electrical energy is without doubt the most significant input into most, if not all, production processes. Guyana’s large and small- scale producers and exporters

have long indicated that the prices for their products have made them [products] uncompetitive in the export market, a situation which has been attributed to high energy charges. Inevitably, this situation led to some contraction in the manufacturing sector,” the body representing manufacturers said. The GMSA is also anticipating that the imminent reduction in electricity charges would spur industrial growth across all sectors, encourage diversification and birth new enterprises. “We have been watching closely the world’s responses PSC Chairman to the dramatic fall in global Ramesh Persaud fuel prices and we did anticipate that our manufacturers and the business community at large would begin to benefit sooner rather than later. In the same context, we anticipate that the costs for raw materials, transportation and related factors of production would simultaneously decrease,” the GMSA had said. The 10 percent reduction in electricity charges by GPL will result in its customers being able to hold on to an additional $3 billion annually, in disposable incomes.

Nearly 1000 Essequibians benefit from free eye examination

SOME 959 persons on the Essequibo Coast and in the Pomeroon riverine communities recently benefited from free vision screening and eye examinations when the Lions Club of Essequibo Coast hosted a five-day Eye Care Clinic at the Anna Regina Mandir. Lions Club of Essequibo President Devendra Persaud said the outreach, held from February 15-19, was conducted by a team of Canadian doctors and specialists, some of whom are

Armed men injure gold miners in camp invasion - at Cassawini Backdam, NWD

AT about 23:30 hrs on February 19, two men, armed with a handgun and a cutlass, entered a mining camp at Cassawini Backdam, Barima River, North West District (NWD), and held up two men. Police say Randradin, 57, of Port Kaituma, NWD; and Aaron Ramkarran, 37, of Johanna Cecelia, Essequibo Coast, were accosted by the robbers with a demand for gold; and in the ensuing incident, Randradin sustained gunshot injury to his left hand and Aaron Ramkarran sustained same to his right foot. Both men have been admitted to the Pakera Village Hospital for medical treatment, but police investigations into the incident are continuing.

Apart from Essequibo, the Canadian team visited different parts of Guyana, collaborating with other Lions Clubs and organisations to assist the needy with free vision screening and spectacles.Â Those benefiting from the project indicated that it is quite costly to obtain a pair of spectacles, and they said they were

indeed elated at receiving their spectacles, and were thankful to the Lions Club of Essequibo Coast and the Canadian team for hosting the project. The Eye Care Clinic has been the club's signature project, and according to Persaud, it is one of the most anticipated projects among Essequibians. The Board of Directors and members of the club wish to express heartfelt gratitude to all those who would have contributed towards making the project a success.

CHRONICLE WEEKEND ROUNDUP with Telesha Ramnarine FEBRUARY 16-21, 2015 MONDAY, 16 APNU, AFC strike alliance deal – Granger presidential candidate, Nagamootoo PM THE long courtship came to a formal end (Valentine’s Day) following the much-anticipated ‘marriage of convenience’ between A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC). Three years after bitterly contesting against each other in the 2011 General and Regional Elections, the political coalition APNU and the AFC have joined forces in a move intended to oust the incumbent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) from office come May 11, 2015 when Guyanese head to the polls. But Guyanese Head of State, President Donald Ramotar, deems news of the merger as “no surprise”. Elderly Berbice man suffers heart attack at news of APNU/AFC coalition ROSIGNOL, West Coast Berbice resident Ramnauth, popularly known as ‘Thana’, 67, suffered a massive heart attack allegedly after hearing the news of an agreed coalition between the Alliance For Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). He was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in Berbice. ‘Thana’ was reportedly at a ‘bottom house’ meeting in Rosignol, held by the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) as part of its ongoing outreaches. Member of Parliament (MP) Neil Kumar told the Guyana Chronicle last evening that, prior to the man’s death, Ramnauth was a vibrant contributor to discussions at that meeting. Minibus, taxi operators not sharing benefits of lower fuel costs with commuters WHILE Government has lowered fuel prices in light of the drop in prices on the world market, President Donald Ramotar has reiterated his disappointment with many operators in the transportation sector who are not passing on the benefits to commuters. “Unfortunately, many of those involved in the transportation sector have not passed on the

benefit that they are getting at the pump to the consumer and I still urge them to do so, so that our people can benefit from this cheaper fuel price that we have” – President Ramotar. Minibuses fares for drops at different stages of a route remain at $80, $100 and $120 per person, while there have been no lowering of the various taxi fares, even though there have been calls from several quarters, including the private sector bodies, for the benefit to trickle down to the travelling public. ***************************************** TUESDAY, 17 Girl, 14, contracts STI allegedly following rape by TSU rank A 14-year-old girl who resides on the West Bank of Demerara is reportedly being treated for a sexually transmitted disease (STI), allegedly contracted after she had been raped by an officer of the Guyana Police Force. The Guyana Chronicle understands that the police constable, who operates under the Tactical Services Unit and was stationed in the Police D Division, was first placed under close arrest, and, following expiration of the 72-hour detention period, has since been placed on open arrest and is being held at the Police Headquarters at Eve Leary. Sources close to the investigation said the police, who had genital warts at the time he committed the act on the child, may have transmitted those to her, since it is now being reported that the child also has genital warts. The Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA) yesterday confirmed investigating a report of rape of a 14-year-old girl by a police officer. Schoolboy critical after speeding car slams horse into him A HORSE wandering along the Zeelugt Public Road, West Coast Demerara was hit by a speeding motorcar and flung several feet away, slamming into a 13-year-old boy who had tried to jump away from the car. But it was too late. In a freaky chain of events, the horse was flung several feet away and slammed into the child, who was hurled into the air before landing on the roadway badly injured.

The child, Wayne Noel, of Zeelugt North, East Bank Essequibo, and a student of Saraswat Primary School, at De Willem, was picked up and rushed first to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, before being transferred to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, and finally to the Georgetown Public Hospital by ambulance. AFC trumps PNC to secure dominant role in Opposition coalition GOING into the coalition negotiation with the five-party A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), the Alliance For Change (AFC) controlled 21 percent of the Combined Opposition seats in Parliament, but came out with a guarantee of 40 percent of the Cabinet, and at least 12 Parliamentary seats, should they succeed at the May 11, 2015 General and Regional Polls. Analysts have since concluded that the Minority Opposition Party has trumped the larger five-party APNU, which held 79 percent of the Opposition seating arrangement in the House going into the negotiation. The AFC has also secured, through the negotiations, the post of Prime Ministerial Candidate for its front-runner, Moses Nagamootoo, along with two Vice-Presidential posts. ‘I will never vote for the APNU/AFC coalition’, Assakata resident tells PPP/C meeting ASSAKATA resident 77-year-old Ignatius Joseph has assured the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) that he would never vote for the APNU/AFC coalition. He said, moreover, that he is confident his community, located some 25 miles 1, Barima/Waini, will vote solidly for the PPP/C on May 11 at the general and regional elections. The pensioner, a former toshao and member of the United Force party in the sixties, said the PPP/C is a party that cares for the people. He said Assakata has been transformed into a bright and thriving village under the PPP/C, and the Government has constructed a new primary school so students can pursue their education there. ***************************************** WEDNESDAY, 18 Rohee sums up ‘unholy alliance’… ‘Dead politically’ or ‘badly wounded’ “I THINK the AFC has signed their death warrant, meaning they are quite likely to be the biggest losers in an election that is going to be hotly contested in a two-way fight.” The foregoing were the sentiments expressed by General Secretary of the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, who was commenting on the alliance between the Alliance For Change and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), which coalesced last weekend. He acknowledged the critical importance of the upcoming May 11 General and Regional Elections, particularly considering the existing political state of affairs, and the gridlock that has gripped the nation for the last three years. Guyanese busted with ingested cocaine at Ogle Airport MEMBERS of the Police Narcotics Branch succeeded in nabbing another drug mule who had ingested cocaine pellets, and was about to board a LIAT flight at the Ogle International Airport. Guyanese Stephon James Watson, 28, was an outgoing passenger on LIAT flight 512 destined for Antigua when he was observed by narcotics ranks sweating profusely. The man was then approached, taken into a room and questioned. He reportedly admitted that he had swallowed several pellets of cocaine. He was then rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he is at present under police guard. 13 entries received for Road March competition WITH new artistes expressing their interest, about 13 entries have been registered for the Mashramani 2015 Road March competition. To compete, an entry must be an original Guyanese composition in any style, suited for the competition, and must have never been submitted in a competition before. A recording of the complete song must be submitted with the registration form and the song most played on Mash Day will be declared the winner of the Road March competition. Rohee puts ‘campaign manager’ rumour to rest –‘We direct our show collectively,’ he says AN announcement to name the Prime Ministerial candidate for the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C), and a date for the Party’s official campaign launch is yet to be made. “The PPP does not have a history of identifying anyone as a campaign manager; the Party has not now, or in the past, done it. There is no one individual directing the show; we direct our show collectively; we have systems and mechanisms in place, and based on that, that is how we approach all elections,” he said.

CHRONICLE WEEKEND ROUNDUP with Telesha Ramnarine From page 16 ***************************************** THURSDAY, 19 On Election Day…. Polling places, staff will be sufficient THE final number of polling places could be affected by the number of eligible voters on the Official List of Electors (OLE), according to Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield. The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) official, speaking during a news conference explained that the intention is not to have more than 400 persons assigned to vote at a particular polling station. As such, he reasoned that there may be need to increase the current number of polling stations, an increase from an estimated 2,260 polling stations. Pensioner, two sons busted with illegal guns A mechanic and his two sons were arrested and taken into custody by officers from the Criminal Investigation Department out of Eve Leary after a search of their home found that they were in possession of two illegal guns. The mechanic has been identified as 66-year-old Oswald Dass, while his two sons are Oswald Dass Junior, 21 and Ivan Dass, 23, all living at Kuru Kuru on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway. The police at the Eve Leary CID division received information that the family is in the business of trafficking weapons and as such they were placed under surveillance for approximately one week. Monitors for MMU selected –US$100,000 funding secured REVIEWS of election coverage in the media by the Media Monitoring Unit (MMU) are expected to commence within two weeks, according to Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Dr. Steve Surujbally. He disclosed that the vacancies for media monitors have been filled by qualified, University of Guyana (UG) graduates. The operations of the MMU are an added measure in the interest of maintaining the laudable electoral processes of the last few elections. Funding in the sum of US$100,000 has been secured for the resuscitated MMU and, according to Dr. Surujbally, this is expected to be released to the Commission shortly. Hamilton warns AFC leadership about PNCR-controlled APNU FORMER People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR)

Executive, Joseph Hamilton said the decision by the Alliance For Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) to form an alliance is a product of people consumed by bitterness, so much so that “they cannot think straight”. According to Hamilton, it is bewildering that “a party with no constituency” and seven seats in Parliament “would be guaranteed 12 seats in the House” if the alliance, which is yet to be named, “emerges victorious at the May 11 polls”. Under the pact reached by the two Opposition Parties, it was agreed that there will be a 60/40 allocation in Cabinet positions in favour of APNU. ***************************************** FRIDAY, 20 Attorney-at-Law Balwant Persaud quits AFC over coalition decision DAYS after the Alliance For Change (AFC) General Secretary, Sixtus Edwards, resigned from the party, another member has publicly issued his resignation and has alleged that the recent decision to form a coalition with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) was one made by a ‘gang of five’, without the authorisation of its membership. Attorney-at-Law Balwant Persaud vowed to do everything in his power to ensure the AFC does not come to power and has in fact now endorsed the People’s Progressive Party / Civic (PPP/C), the party, he said, for which he will now campaign. Exxon Mobil oil rig heading to Guyana – drilling expected to start mid-March EXXON Mobil brought Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Mr. Robert Persaud up to speed on activities it will be undertaking here over the next few weeks. During the course of a meeting with Exxon Mobil Vice-President, Mr. Jeff Simon, and ESSO Country Manager, Mr. Chuck Calavan, Minister Persaud was briefed on how the company’s oil rig, ‘Deep Water Champion’, will be deployed, among other matters of importance. According to a release from the Minister’s office, the rig departed Louisiana, in the USA, for the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana, where it is expected to commence drilling in mid-March. Calls made to reduce price for beverages, other commodities PRIVATE Sector Commission (PSC) Chairman Ramesh Persaud says the Commission will be analysing the impact of the 10 percent reduction in electricity rates before it makes a definitive appeal to businesses to lower prices for

certain goods. Saying that it is too soon to make a definitive pronouncement, Persaud told the Guyana Chronicle that the Commission will be looking at the impact the reduction will have on savings for the different types of businesses after the first month of implementation. There have been calls from several quarters for the reduction of electricity rates to be reflected in lower of prices for goods that require electricity for production and preservation. Journalist is UG’s new Law Society president JOURNALIST and first year law student, Chevy Devonish was declared the newly-elected President of the University of Guyana Law Society (UGLS), following the premature resignation of Patrice Wishart. Wishart, who served in the position for approximately four months, had explained that his resignation was influenced by added domestic responsibilities which would have prevented him from adequately functioning as the Law Society’s president. As a result, the former president, who assumed his post in October last year submitted his resignation last week. ***************************************** SATURDAY, 21 Teacher, 6 students perish in Burma accident THE Guyanese nation is still reeling from news of the shocking accident on the Burma Branch Road in Mahaicony (Region 5) that has left a teacher and six of her students dead. The teacher and six students of the Augsburg Primary School died by apparent drowning after the vehicle they were travelling in ended up in a canal along the Burma Road. Those who perished yesterday are: Eight-year-old grade 3 student Justin Abel, seven-year-old grade 2 student Rayden Abel, 10-year-old grade 5 student Ayesha Abel — all from the same family; together with six-year-old grade 1 student Azidia Fraser, 10-year-old grade 5 student Atesha Woolford, eight-year-old grade 2 student Martina Persaud, and their teacher, Senior Mistress Shondel Duke. The teacher and children had traversed the Burma Road from their school to attend an activity that had taken place at the Novar Primary School and were returning home when disaster struck. Former President Jagdeo appointed Chair of National Economic Council PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has announced that Former President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo will be the Chairman of the newly-created National Economic Council (NEC).The president explained that he decided to establish this council in order “to bring greater support to my government in enhancing and accelerating our transformational and modernisation agenda.” He said that he has asked Former President Jagdeo to fill the role of heading the council, as he has the necessary criteria, seeing that “he served for a number of years as the pivot in the modernisation of our economy, and led in the crafting of many strategies, including the National Development Strategy, the Poverty Reduction Strategy and the Low Carbon Development Strategy. Current dry weather greatly impacting savannahs, rivers – in Region One THE current dry weather that Region One, Barima-Waini, is experiencing has caused its vast savannah to dry up at an alarming rate. The water level in the savannah’s main creek – upon which residents, farmers, gold miners and fishermen depend – has reportedly dropped to an alarmingly low level, and boats powered by large outboard engines have to travel very slowly along the creek, mostly in areas near Moruca, Dark Bush and 99 Turns, because of the low water level and exposed rotten wood. Boats navigating the Dark Bush and 99 Turns areas reportedly get stuck many times, because of the shallow water and exposed logs and tree branches. Miners said they are finding it very difficult to cross Dark Bush and 99 Turns during the dry weather, and are calling for the area to be dredged. Elderly live-alone woman brutally raped, murdered NEIGHBOURS of 73-year-old Suroojpattie Ramlakhan, known as ‘Auntie Carmen’, found her dead body lying naked on the bedroom floor of her Richmond village, Essequibo Coast home after they had unsuccessfully tried several times to alert her that an anaconda (camoudie) was eating one of her chickens in a drain near the street. The childless woman had reportedly lived alone. Neighbours said they called several times for ‘Auntie Carmen’ but there was no answer. They said the front door to her house was locked, so they ventured into the yard and went to the back of the house, where they discovered the door open. They called her name again but there was no answer; so, becoming suspicious that something was wrong, they peeped inside the house and, to their shock and horror, saw ‘Auntie Carmen’ lying naked on the floor, seemingly dead.

Minister Benn urges PYO youths to vote PPP/C on Elections Day PUBLIC Works Minister Robeson Benn has urged youths of the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) to join hands in returning power to the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) on May 11th, 2015. At a large gathering at “Indian Night”, the PYO Mash Camp staged next to Freedom House on Robb Street last Thursday evening, the Minister told the youth arm of the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic that this election is immensely important, since it would determine whether there would be sustainable development for Guyana. He highlighted Guyana’s fight against colonialism, which led to the country being free and independent; then alluded that ever since the PPP came into power, social, human and economic

developments have improved tremendously. He also stressed on the coalition of the two parties - A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) - and said the coalition was a betrayal of the people, since those parties had initially insisted that a coalition was impossible. He further stressed that the parties’ having cut the budget, development of the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project and many other projects for the betterment of the people of Guyana have come to a halt. “It would be interesting to see if all the things they cut they would fulfill; and if they are to come to power, we would still support the projects and stand behind them, because those are our projects – critical, imperative

projects for our country,” the Minister noted. He added: “We will stand behind them in the Parliament and help them, which is opposed to what they are doing presently. If they, in opposition, are already dismantling the things which would see to the improvement of our country, I would never take the risk of having them (accede to) power,” the Minister declared. Furthermore, he expounded on dramatic change in Guyana under the PPP/C’s reign, and noted that ordinary people under the guidance and leadership of the PPP have worked hard to experience such a development. He enlightened the audience of the visible developments in Guyana, and emphasised that the country does have problems in respect to health and education; but he

Joiner jailed for trafficking narcotics A TWENTY-eight-year-old joiner recently busted with cocaine pellets was on Friday sentenced to four years ‘imprisonment by Magistrate Zameena Ali at the Sparendaam Magistrates’ Court. Stephon James Watson of Lot 86 Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara, was also fined $30,000 after pleading guilty to the drug-trafficking charge, particulars of which said that on February 16 at the Ogle International Airport, East Coast Demerara, he had in his possession 850 grammes of cocaine for the purpose. The unrepresented man told the court that he is sorry for his action and begged for leniency. Magistrate Ali, before handing down her sentence, noted that she has taken into consideration that Watson did not waste the court’s time and pleaded guilty on his first appearance. According to reports, on the day in question Watson was an outgoing passenger destined for Antigua and Barbuda and attempted to board a LIAT Flight at the airport. However, police officers from the narcotics branch became suspicious after Watson was observed sweating profusely. During questionning he admitted to swallowing the pellets and was subsequently taken to the hospital, where an x-ray was taken and proved that he had indeed swallowed pellets. He was under police guard until he excreted the pellets.

Public Works Minister Robeson Benn delivering his remarks at the PYO Mash Camp’s “Indian Night” on Thursday evening

noted that these are challenges that the country as a whole has to work on. “The greatest thing one can do is to bring the poorest and those greatly disadvan-

taged of all the communities up to a national standard,” said Minister Benn. After much discourse on his perspectives, the Minister urged the youths of

the PYO and the audience to continue supporting the party. He said he was convinced that Guyana would shine brighter once the PPP/C reigns again.

‘Trini’ conman wanted by police in Trinidad, parading in Guyana WHILE Trinidad national Daniel Ali, parading in Guyana as a chef and under other covers, has managed to outsmart several locals, reliable sources have informed that he is wanted by police in Trinidad for similar offences. A well-placed source in that twin-island republic yesterday contacted this publication via telephone, after reading two articles about Daniel Ali’s illegal practices here, and informed that Ali had fled his homeland after committing several offences, for which he is being pursued by police. Reports are that he came to Guyana early last year with his lover, Steven Baboolall, and moved into an apartment at Lot 57 Roraima Housing Scheme, WBD, where he was parading as a chef. A strange man hanged himself in that yard soon after, and Ali and his lover were seen hurriedly leaving the premises with packed suitcases. It was later revealed that when police had visited the location to investigate the suicide incident, the two became scared and left hurriedly, to relocate at Uitvlugt, WCD, where they pretended to be caterers. However, they began renting cars from dealers and reselling the vehicles to unsuspecting buyers. When local police began investigating their illegal actions, the ‘Trini conman’ managed to escape, but his accomplice was caught and later released on bail with instructions to return to the Leonora Police Station. He has since gone into hiding. Meanwhile, Ali has gone on another crime spree, and has managed to rob three other individuals, using his emotional charades and very cunning strategies. Just recently, he managed to swindle popular designer Olympia Small-Sonoram out of $75,000, feigning that his gay lover had cheated him out of his valuables and had thrown him out in the streets. That aside, he has also reportedly extracted $30,000 from another designer, Alex Lawson, by pretending he can provide

accommodation for Lawson in Trinidad. When this newspaper contacted Mrs Sonoram, she said the accused was introduced to her by a reputable close associate, who had sent him to her since he wanted a Mash costume

Twenty-year-old charged for cellphone theft

Malaysian fined $100,000 for forging employment visa

A-TWENTY-year-old woman, who allegedly stole a Samsung Galaxy S4, was on Friday granted $50,000 bail by city Magistrate Ann McLennan. Naomi Williams of 67 Eccles Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, denied the charge that said on February 18 at Austin Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, she stole a phone valued $70,000, property of Ramona Yusuf. According to the prosecution’s facts, the victim left her phone on the company machine and left for the washroom. On her return, she noticed her cellular phone missing. Yusuf reported the matter to the Kitty Police Station and when the police investigated the matter and reviewed the surveillance camera, they saw the defendant removing the said phone. Williams was arrested and shown the video, and she admitted committing the offence. The defendant was also charged with the offence of disorderly behaviour. Williams however denied that she on September 19, at the Kitty Police Station, behaved disorderly. The court heard that Williams, while in police custody on February 19, at the Kitty Police Station, exposed her vagina in an indecent manner. The defendant after being arrested, urinated in the inquiry office of the station, and then spat on the floor before she started to kick the cupboard. She was granted bail on the simple larceny charge to the tune of $50,000. She will return to court on Thursday.

Daniel Ali, the Trinidadian conman custom made. She said the man seemed quite okay and paid in full for his first costume. The angry designer indicated that Ali (or whatever his real name is) visited her a few other times, and ordered designer clothing for which he paid. On a recent visit, however, Ali engaged her in a mournful tale about his lover stealing his belongings and putting him out in the street. She said he was all emotional, was weeping, and had begged her to loan him $75,000 to get himself together,

A MALAYSIAN national was on Friday fined $100,000, for changing the date on his employment visa, and presenting it to an immigration officer at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. Kanching Anakbesi admitted that he, between December 20 and February 19 at Georgetown, conspired with persons to forge the date on a Guyana employment visa on his Malaysian passport, purporting to show same was issued by the Central Immigration and Passport office, knowing same to be false. The 41-year-old man also pleaded guilty to the charge which states that he uttered the same passport to an immigration officer at the CJIA, with intent to defraud. His attorney, Paul Fung-a-Fat, begged for him not to be jailed, stating that the Guyanese prisoners will take advantage of him because of his language barrier. He was then fined $50,000 on each charge, and will be deported after the fine is paid.

promising to leave his Trinidad passport and other valuables as security until he returned the cash in a few days’ time. The designer said since he had seemingly become a good client, she decided to help him, but did not check the contents of a small bag he had left behind. She said that at the time of his sudden speedy departure, she was dealing with another client and so did not check the bag until about fifteen minutes later. Sonoram said she almost caught a fit when she realised the bag contained only strips of old newspapers, lip stick, other makeup, and other items of no importance. By the time she raised an alarm and began searching for him, he had already disappeared. Lawson, on the other hand, said the trickster was introduced to him one night by another friend of his, and immediately began telling tales that he was a born Trinidadian and had come to Guyana with the intention of opening a hospitality business. Lawson said he was planning to visit Trinidad in a few weeks, and quite naturally believed when the man told him that he was rich and that his father was a ministerial official there. Lawson said the man offered to get accommodation for him, but indicated that he would have to pay $30,000 up front, a request to which he complied. He said he has since not been able to make contact with the individual on the telephone number he had supplied. That aside, just one week ago, Daniel Ali managed to extract $30,000 from a vendor whom he promised to sell an S6 I-Phone under an agreed installment payment plan. After making the first $30,000 deposit, the vendor could not locate Ali to make the remaining $50,000 payment. Police are still hunting this individual, who is suspected to be working along with other accomplices who are all suspected to be locals lured unto his illegal bandwagon.

Seaman accused of stealing gas cylinder A SEAMAN accused of stealing a cylinder with gas from a Herstelling residence was on Friday remanded to prison when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.. It is alleged that on February 17 at Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, Roy Persaud, 37, broke and entered the dwelling home of Mamniran Ramberose and stole a 20-pound cylinder of cooking gas valued 20,000, property of Ramberose. Persaud pleaded guilty to the allegation, however when asked by the Chief Magistrate what he did with the gas cylinder, he replied: “Madam, I sell it out.” Prosecutor Bharrat Mangru told the Court that it is alleged that Persaud saw where Ramberose normally leaves his key and gained entry to the premises. The court heard that a neighbour who saw alerted the police, the defendant was shortly arrested and charged for the offence. The prosecutor did not object to bail being granted. The unrepresented man begged the magistrate for leniency, saying: “Give meh someting small nah madam.” Persaud was sentenced to six months imprisonment.

GPOC’s new EMS, parcel delivery cost follows service review

- still below charges by other entities By Raymon Cummings PERSONS who utilise the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) overseas express parcel and mail service would have noticed an increase in the cost for these services. According to Operations Manager Avinash Patterson, this came about after a review of the cost associated with providing the service found that it was unrealistic. Patterson assured that in spite of the increase, the rates are still below what is being charged by other entities offering similar services. The Operations Manager said that the delivery is usually done between 5 and 7 days but may be affected by flight delays or in cases of severe weather conditions in the destination country. He said that for both mail and parcels, persons are issued with a tracking number that they can use to follow the movement of the parcel and be advise on its arrival at the post office for delivery. Patterson said that while this is a service offered by the GPOC, it is only available at selected post offices where Guyana Revenue Authority, Customs Officers are stationed. These Post Offices include GPOC Offices at Robb Street, Georgetown, New Amsterdam and Skeldon in Berbice, Lethem in Region 9, McKenzie in Region 10, and Anna Regina on the Essequibo Coast. The cost to ship a parcel weighing 20 kilograms and less ranges from $5,000 for postage to countries in the Caribbean to $9,000 for postage to areas as far as

Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe. There is an additional cost if parcels exceed the 20 kilogram weight limit but no reduction if it weighs less. The Express Mail Service (EMS) offers fast delivery and is used to post documents that may be larger than the normal mail. The cost for this service varies from $3,500 to $8,500 for countries in the Caribbean and Europe, Africa and Australia respectively. PARCEL DELIVERY A parcel delivery service also operates locally which is not being adequately utilised. The Operations Manager urged persons to use the

service as it is fast, safe and reliable. Area Manager Donette Semple, however, reminded that persons wishing to use the service are required to produce a valid identification card or passport and proof of address that should be a mail delivered by the GPOC showing the stamps on the envelope. Persons who are not resident in Guyana would be required to produce a passport showing their date of entry to Guyana and an official letter from the hotel they are residing at or the landlord for the building they are occupying, verifying their identity before being allowed to transact business.

Kane rescues late point for Spurs, Liverpool win By Toby Davis LONDON ,(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane stoked controversy with a goal six minutes into added time to rescue a 2-2 home draw with West Ham United while Liverpool's top-four hopes were boosted by a 2-0 win at Southampton yesterday. Kane's status as the Premier League's man-of-themoment looked fully justified when he burst into the box to win a last-gasp penalty at White Hart Lane and stepped up to convert on the rebound after his initial effort was parried. As well as sending the home crowd into raptures, it completed a superb comeback for the hosts who had trailed 2-0 to goals from Cheikhou Kouyate and Diafra Sakho, before Danny Rose's scrappy effort heralded a late cavalry charge. There was no need for late heroics by Liverpool, who took the lead after three minutes at St Mary's through Philippe Coutinho's stunning curler that caught the underside of the crossbar on its way past Southampton keeper

Fraser Forster. The match was dripping with controversy, however, as the hosts had three penalty appeals turned down in the driving south coast rain while

Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet handled outside the area and escaped a red card. The three points that lifted Liverpool into sixth above Tottenham were wrapped up when Raheem Sterling converted from close range with 17 minutes remaining. Liverpool are now a point clear of Tottenham on 45, one behind Southampton and two off fourth-placed Manchester

goal and into the net after 62 minutes. Spurs, however, have now recovered 16 points from losing positions this season and the fight back began when Adrian fluffed a punch clear, allowing fullback Rose to send a bouncing effort looping into the net. Spurs were rewarded for their late siege when Alex Song put his arm on Kane

yes. But he wouldn't be brave enough to do that." DUBIOUS DECISIONS Dubious penalty decisions were the order of the day at Southampton where Liverpool got the benefit of three contentious calls. Filip Djuricic was twice felled in the area either side of Coutinho's sublime opener while the sense of injustice among the home fans intensified when Mignolet appeared to handle outside his box and yet survived unpunished. The game had not needed

any extra spice as Liverpool started with former Southampton players Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren, who both left in acrimony in the close season and whose every touch was loudly booed. A third penalty appeal, this time for handball by Liverpool's Emre Can, was turned down before the break and the game was wrapped up when Sterling made the most of a Matty Targett slip to drill low into the net, allowing Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers to heap praise on his players.

Atwell weather storm back to claim WBC ... From page Harry Kane celebrates after scoring the second goal for TottenhamAction Images via Reuters / Matthew Childs United who occupy the final Champions League qualifying spot. SPURS' PROTESTS After a bright start at White Hart Lane, Spurs fell behind, as they have done frequently this season, when Kouyate drilled his header past Lloris midway through the first half. The visitors doubled their lead when Sakho arrived at the far post to squeeze Mark Noble's cross back across

as the forward burst into the box, giving him the chance to tumble for a penalty, which he dispatched at the second attempt. The controversial part of Tottenham's leveller was that it arrived after the allotted five minutes of injury time, leaving West Ham manager Sam Allardyce to fume. When asked if referee Jonathan Moss should have blown for full-time as soon as Kane missed the initial penalty Allardyce told reporters: "The answer to that is

in the latter part of the round. In round three, Atwell scored on several occasions with left-right combinations to build on his lead, while Mullings was concentrating on Atwell’s right side body and jaw, but the punches had no apparent effect on the Guyanese. Atwell was very tentative during round four as Mullings attacked viciously, looking to close off the fight early as he had to be at the Cheddie Jagan International Airport for mid-night to return home, but Atwell had him stranded as he (Atwell) absorbed the punches and upped the ante in the latter part of the round. After four rounds, judge Browne scored the fight 38-38, judge Francis and judge Granger had it 39-37 and 40-36 respectively in favour of Atwell. Round five was an even round to this reporter as both boxers connected to each other’s body with telling punches. In round six, Mullings continued to take the fight to Atwell who stayed on the retreat countering well and registering four consecutive straight right crosses to Mullings’ head and Mullings then countered with some vicious body digs. Round seven saw Atwell moving into overdrive and was all over Mullings in the early part of the round and he maintained that dominance throughout, as the Jamaican was looking to land with a haymaker. Atwell connected with several stiff left jabs early in the round as Mullings continued to charge forward taking the fight to the Guyanese who countered well. After eight rounds, judge Browne had the fight 76-76, judge Abrahim and judge Granger had it 79-74, 78-74 respectively. Mullings continued to press forward in round nine but Atwell used the ring well and landed two overhead rights that had no real effect on his opponent. Two left digs to body failed to stop Mullings from coming forward. In round ten, there was an even exchange of punches by the two boxers, but Mullings was not as aggressive as he was in the earlier rounds. Round eleven saw Atwell taking the fight to his opponent, connecting with a series of combinations, but Mullings was equal to the task. Sensing the morbid prangs of points loss, Mullings stormed Atwell with vicious punches, but the Guyanese weathered the storm. Atwell decided to keep at bay for the final round and used his one-two combination to good effect as the Jamaican seemed to have got his second breath and kept coming at Atwell, throwing punches from all angles, but Atwell was equal to the task and connected with combinations, and in the end, Atwell was declared the winner. After the fight, Mullings admitted that Atwell was the better of the two on Saturday night but he would like a return and Atwell responded that he has no problem with the return once he gets early notification.

India show themselves contenders with Proteas blitz By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE, Feb 22 (Reuters) - India announced themselves as genuine contenders to defend their World Cup title yesterday by humbling South Africa’s vaunted pace attack before bowling out the Proteas for an emphatic 130-run victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In front of a heaving crowd of 86,000, opener Shikhar Dhawan struck a sparkling 137 and Ajinkya Rahane an explosive 79 to fire India to a mammoth 307-7 and ensure their opponents would need a record chase at the stadium to win. India were then outstanding in the field, sharing the wickets and running out two batsmen as South Africa were skittled for 177 with 10 overs to spare, losing their last seven wickets for 44 runs. It was India’s first win against South Africa at the World Cup after three previous losses. Though the match may have little consequences for their respective campaigns, India, roared on

* Dhawan’s sparkling 137powers India to 307-7

Shikhar Dhawan celebrates his century with Ajinkya Rahane at the Melbourne ground, yesterday. In an uncharacteristicalby a blue-clad, flag-waving army of fans will have reaped a huge confidence boost from downing the highly-fancied South Africans following their emotional opening win over Pakistan. Melbourne resident Dhawan’s sparkling ton anchored century-plus partnerships with Virat Kohli (46) and Rahane as AB de Villiers’ men toiled on a steamy day in the field after losing the toss.

ly clumsy fielding display, the Proteas dropped three catches, including a sharp chance to Hashim Amla at backward point that reprieved Dhawan on 53. Adding to their Proteas’ pain was an apparent hamstring injury to seamer Vernon Philander who bowled just four overs. India by contrast were positively South African in their fielding, with Mohit and India captain and wick-

etkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni combining to run out de Villiers for 30, an important breakthrough to end a 68-run partnership with Faf du Plessis. Du Plessis was unable to dig in after raising his half-century, miscuing a slog straight to Dhawan at midoff to be out for 55 and leave his team reeling at 133-4. JP Duminy (6) and David Miller (22) followed quickly, the latter run out by an excellent throw from Umesh Yadav at square leg. The South African tail then expired quickly. Ravichandran Ashwin finished with 3-41 to lead the India bowling, with fast bowler Mohammed Shami and medium pacer Mohit grabbing two wickets each. South Africa’s selectors dropped Farhaan Behardien in favour of Wayne Parnell and the move back-fired with the fast-bowling all-rounder conceding 85 runs from his nine overs. Parnell would eventu-

ally dismiss Dhawan in the 44th over after the 29-yearold skied a pull shot to Amla at long leg, having raised his seventh ODI century. The faith in Imran Tahir was better-placed, however,

Bangladesh to send Jayawardene, Perera lead Sri Lanka to nervy win home Hossain for …Jayawardene century rescues Sri Lanka breaking curfew MELBOURNE, (Reuters) - Bangladesh bowler Al-Amin Hossain has been withdrawn from the World Cup squad for violating team rules and will be sent home, the country’s cricket board said yesterday. “Al-Amin Hossain has been found to have breached team rules and will take no further part in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015,” the Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement. “The board will conduct its own inquiry into the breach after receiving the manager’s report at the end of the team’s World Cup campaign. “At this stage the BCB or the team management will not release any further information or make any

Bangladesh bowler Al-Amin Hossain

comment on this matter,” it added. The anti-corruption and security unit (ACSU) of the International Cricket Council informed the Bangladesh team management that the player was outside the team hotel in Brisbane after the deadline on Thursday, Cricinfo reported. “Normally if a player

has to stay outside after 10pm, he has to take the management’s permission,” team manager Khaled Mahmud told the website. “We were not aware that Al-Amin left the hotel after that time, and were later informed by the ACSU of his transgression. He will be sent home as soon as possible,” he added before denying any corruption angle to the incident. Paceman Al-Amin, 25, did not feature in Bangladesh’s 105-run win over Afghanistan in their opening match. The team, who got one point from Saturday’s abandoned match in Brisbane against Australia, take on Sri Lanka in their next match in Melbourne on Thursday.

(REUTERS) - Thisara Perera and Jeevan Mendis combined for a 58-run partnership to give Sri Lanka a nervous four-wicket victory over Afghanistan in their World Cup Pool A match at University Oval in Dunedin yesterday. The pair finished off what Mahela Jayawardene (100) and Angelo Mathews (44) had started after Sri Lanka had been reduced to 51 for four by the World Cup debutants as they chased 233 for victory. Jayawardene had appeared to have the outcome in control for Sri Lanka with his 19th ODI century and a 126-run partnership with Mathews but when he became Hamid Hassan’s third wicket with 55 runs needed, the momentum shifted back towards Afghanistan. Perera, an aggressive lower-order batsmen, then took the game away with some big hitting and finished on 47 as his side made 236-6 with 10 balls to spare. Mendis was nine not out. Afghanistan had been dismissed for 232 in 49.4 overs, which was not considered enough of a target to defend on the small University Oval ground and good pitch that tends to get easier to bat on as the day progresses. Their bowlers, however, started like they felt it would be sufficient with both Lahiru Thirimanne and Tillakaratne Dilshan dismissed for golden ducks, while Kumar Sangakkara was bowled by Hassan for seven. Hassan struck again in the 12th over when Dimuth Karunaratne was well caught by Nawroz Mangal at first slip for 23, which reduced the 1996 World Cup champions to 51-4. Afghanistan’s batsmen had not looked out of their depth, though they did show a lack of experience at the highest level when they were unable to capitalise on good starts. Asghar Stanikzai top scored with 54, his fifth one-day international half century, but he was also guilty of getting out when he should have settled down to bat through until the end of the innings. Stanikzai had combined with Samiullah Shenwari (38) in an 88-run partnership and the pair appeared so comfortable they looked to have set a platform for their side to eventually push on towards a total approaching 300. However, the wheels fell off when Stanikzai was caught in the deep by Mendis, a dismissal that appeared to slam the brakes on the batting side’s momentum. Shenwari went shortly after and it was left to captain Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran to rebuild the innings and set themselves to launch in the final 15 overs. Both fell in the batting power play bowled by Lasith Malinga and Suranga Lakmal, who turned the screw by conceding just 10 runs in the five overs.

Windies touch down in Canberra for Zimbabwe assignment

CANBERRA, Australia, (CMC) – A buoyant West Indies arrived here late Sunday night to begin final preparations for their third game of the ICC Cricket World Cup against Zimbabwe tomorrow. The squad took the three-hour flight from Christchurch, New Zealand, where 48 hours earlier they had downed Pakistan by 150 runs, to seal their first win of the tournament. They will have the day off on Monday for rest and recovery, especially with a schedule that sees them playing three matches in the space of seven days. They will do light gym work. We s t I n d i e s w i l l be without left-handed stroke-maker Darren Bravo for the next couple of games after the Trinidadian suffered a lower-grade tear to his left hamstring while batting against Pakistan. The Caribbean side are also monitoring the progress of all-rounder Darren Sammy, left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn and opener Chris Gayle who are all Darren Bravo ... will carrying small niggles. miss the Zimbabwe Saturday’s victory represented a major comeback game through injury. by the Windies after going down by four wickets in a shock defeat to minnows Ireland last week. West Indies will now target their second straight win when they come up against the Zimbabweans at Manuka Oval here at 2:30 pm (11:30 pm, Monday, Eastern Caribbean time). They lie second in Group B on two points behind unbeaten leaders and reigning World champions India, and know that a victory will give them much needed breathing space. Like the Windies, Zimbabwe opened with a defeat after losing to South Africa by 62 runs but followed up with a four-wicket win over Afghanistan.

Santos and Fruta Conquerors lift Frank Watson Memorial titles - both finals decided on penalty kicks

Santos FC and Fruta Conquerors walked away with the Frank Watson Memorial under-17 and under-15 titles respectively, when the two competitions came to an end on Saturday evening at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground. Santos defeated Pele 4-3 on penalty kicks after regulation time failed to produce a winner with the score at 0-0, while Fruta Conquerors also edged Santos 4-2 on penalty kicks in the under-15 final after regulation time finished without a goal being scored. In the Under-17 final, Leon Richardson scored from the mark with the team’s first shot from the spot, but Mario Padmore made it 1-1 for Santos. Pele's Akosi Jarvis and Tyrese Forde of Santos both netted in the second round to make the score line 2-2. However, Rafael Bollers of Pele shot way over the cross bar with his shot, giving Santos the edge. Santos then capitalised on Pele's failure as custodian Job Caesar scored. Travis Mitchell, Pele’s fourth player to shoot from the spot was able to get Pele back on course, but Santos’ Travis Cottom scored in the

Proteas captain deflated After team’s confidence rocked

By Ian Ransom

MELBOURNE, (Reuters) - South Africa captain AB de Villiers will turn to his senior players to help lift the team out of the doldrums after they suffered a "big knock" to their confidence in a crushing defeat by India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday. Dominated with bat, ball and in the field, South Africa's 130-run loss was their first to India at a World Cup and an alarming setback for

a team tipped to dominate on the southern hemisphere wickets of Australia and New Zealand. Adding insult to injury, the team were fined for a slow over rate and leading seamer Vernon Philander may be sidelined after sustaining an injury to his left hamstring. Losing the toss was a blow, allowing India's batsmen the best of a slow wicket on a stifling hot day, but a deflated De Villiers was at a loss to explain his batsmen's collapse for 177 after being set 308 for victory. "It's a big knock for us to get beaten by 130 runs," he told reporters. "It's almost embarrassing. You never want to lose by that amount of runs. You always want to be a competitive team, feel like you're always in the game, feel like you've got a chance to win games. "We pride ourselves on that, and it didn't happen today. We're going to have to lick our wounds for a while. "Your confidence takes a bit of a knock with perfor-

mances like that, and it's up to the senior group of players to make sure that confidence is still there come Friday against the West Indies. "Little things like today's performance can creep into your game if you start thinking about it too much, and if you allow it to knock your confidence down." De Villiers was particular incensed that two wickets fell through run-outs, including his own dismissal for 30 when he and Faf du Plessis had compiled a steadying 68run partnership. Middle order batsman David Miller was also run out for 22 as the jumpy South Africans struggled with the pressure of a disciplined Indian bowling effort. The last seven wickets fell for 44 runs as South Africa's middle and lower order withered. "(West Indies) is a mustwin for us in Sydney, but for now I just want to sort of go feel sad in my room for a while, and we'll see again how I feel tomorrow," De Villiers added.

fourth round. Pele's custodian Shamar Das then went to the penalty for his shot but it was Caesar’s and that was the end of the match. With the win, Santos walked away with the U-17 championship trophy, team medals, complete team uniforms, two balls and a goalkeeper's glove. Pele for their showing walked away with the runners-up accolade, team medals, complete team uniforms, two balls and a goalkeeper's glove. In the U-15 penalty shoot-out section, Santos started poorly as they missed their first shot and Fruta Conquerors went ahead with their shot plum on target. After the second round of kicks, the score was 2-1 in Fruta Conquerors’ favour and Santos went further back as their third kicker missed his target and the Tucvillebased side capitalised once more as they scored to take a commanding 3-1 advantage. Santos came closer to levelling the score as they netted in their fourth round. Fruta Conquerors then sealed the victory with their

final kick. Due to the victory, Fruta Conquerors collected the championship trophy, team medals, complete team uniforms, two balls and a goalkeeper's glove while Santos received the runners-up accolade, team medals, complete team uniforms, two balls and a goalkeeper's glove. Similarly in the team's presentation section, all the participating clubs in the event received new team uniforms both the U-15 and U-17 divisions, two balls and a goalkeeper's glove each. The individual section of the presentation saw Navin Naughton of Santos being crowned the U-17 most valuable player (MVP). For his showing, Naughton received a trophy and a laptop. Also receiving awards were Leon Holder of Santos who won the best goalkeeper award and Leon Richardson of Pele who collected the highest goal scorer accolade. In the U-15 awards, Fruta Conquerors’ Orwin Garraway walked away with a laptop and a trophy for his MVP showing while Jevon

Harris of Fruta Conquerors and Ryan Dowden of Santos walked away with the best goalkeeper and highest goal scorer awards respectively. Similarly receiving laptops for their academic achievements were Diarra Thomas of Fruta Conquerors and Stephon King of Georgetown Football Club (GFC). In the earlier semi-final round of the U-17 section, Santos defeated Black Water by a 3-0 score line. Ronell Roberts, Shawn Mohammed and Kelsey Benjamin scored for the victors in the 13th, 32nd and 45th minutes respectively. The second semi-final matchup of the section saw Pele defeating GFC 4-3 on penalty kicks and after normal and extra time finished 1-1. In the earlier U-15 divisional semi-finals, Fruta Conquerors defeated arch-rivals Sunburst Camptown 2-0. Olujimi Rowe and Jeremy Garrett scored for the Tucville side in the ninth and 26th minutes correspondingly. In the second semi-final, Santos crushed Western Tigers 3-0.

Windwards Volcanoes whip Hurricanes to stay in touch with leaders GROS ISLET, St Lucia, (CMC )– Windward Islands Volcanoes easily trounced the luckless Leeward Islands Hurricanes by nine wickets here yesterday, to remain a serious contender for the WICB Professional Cricket League title. Set an uncomplicated target of 83, the Windwards needed just 74 balls to complete victory at the Beausejour Cricket Ground, about 45 minutes after lunch on the penultimate day of their seventh round encounter. Seasoned opener Devon Smith continued his rich vein of form, stroking an unbeaten 39 off 33 balls with four fours and a six. He added 42 off 26 balls for the first wicket with Johnson Charles whose 27 required 18 deliveries and included three fours and a six. Seamer Gavin Tonge removed Charles in the fourth over before lunch, as the Windwards went to the break on 58 for one. The hosts wasted little time on resumption in speeding to their target, with Smith finishing the game in style by clearing the ropes with off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall.

Earlier, the Leewards were dismissed for 170 in their second innings, after resuming the day on 137 for six. Orlando Peters failed to add to his overnight 27 and it was left up to Jeremiah Louis, with 25 off 71 balls in 81 minutes at the crease overall, to eke out precious runs at the end for the visitors. Seamer Mervin Matthew

finished with five for 32 while left-arm pacer Delorn Johnson picked up three for 48. With the victory, the Windwards moved to 80 points to stay in touch with leaders Guyana Jaguars and second placed Barbados Pride. The Leewards remain rooted to the bottom of the standings on 17 points.

Brathwaite second century sets up fascinating last day BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Feb 22, CMC – Captain Kraigg Brathwaite became only the second Barbados player to score a hundred in both innings of a regional first class game, as Barbados Pride pressed home their advantage against leaders Guyana Jaguars on day three of their seventh round WICB PCL contest here yesterday. The right-hander carved out 112, an innings that helped Barbados declare their second innings at 241 for six at Kensington Oval. Set 333 for victory, Jaguars were in strong reply, racing to 41 without loss at the close, with Rajindra Chandrika unbeaten on 25, to set up a fascinating final day on Monday.

They require a further 292 for victory. Resuming from their overnight 173 for nine, Jaguars were bowled out in their first innings for 221 with Devendra Bishoo, unbeaten on seven at the start, striking a breezy 38 off 46 deliveries with four fours. His last wicket stand with Ronsford Beaton, 15 not out, was worth 48 and it helped frustrate Barbados in the morning session. The innings ended just over an hour before lunch when Bishoo missed a swing at off-spinner Ashley Nurse and was bowled. Barbados reached lunch at 41 without loss and Brathwaite and Kyle Corbin, who stroked 52, pushed on after the break to

add 97 for the first wicket overall. Brathwaite, who struck 102 in the first innings, faced 179 balls in 4-1/2 hours at the crease and counted ten fours and a six while Corbin’s innings consumed 95 balls in just over two hours, and included four fours and a six. Barbados then lost two quick wickets, Corbin driving pacer Beaton to Bishoo at mid on and Kirk Edwards nicking one behind off the same bowler to fall for one and extend a run of poor form. However, the hosts then benefited from two stands

which gave them the thrust they needed to make the declaration. Brathwaite and Shai Hope, who made 26, combined in a third wicket stand of 54 before Brathwaite and Roston Chase (19) added a further 47 for the fourth wicket. Brathwaite was eventually fifth out, bowled by medium pacer Chris Barnwell, after completing his 12th first class century and sixth in regional first class cricket. Jaguars were led by Barnwell (2-33) and Beaton (2-37) who picked up two wickets apiece.

Khan inspires Red Force as losing slump ends with big win KINGSTON, Jamaica, (CMC) – Leg-spinner Imran Khan emerged the hero as Trinidad and Tobago Red Force halted a four-game losing slump by crushing Jamaica Franchise by 179 runs inside three days here yesterday. Set 357 for victory at Sabina Park, Jamaica tumbled from a position of 128 for one to 177 all out, losing their last nine wickets for a mere 49 runs. The hosts looked to be in control of the WICB PCL seventh round encounter when opener John Campbell, who struck 83, and Test batsman Jermaine Blackwood, 52, were carving out attractive half-centuries in a 77-run, second wicket stand. Khan intervened, however, snatching six for 24 to destroy the innings, as the last five

Jamaica wickets fell for no addition of runs at 177. The right-armer, voted Man-of-theMatch, sparked the collapse by taking four wickets in one over to leave Jamaica in disarray. The result gave Red Force their first taste of victory since last November when they defeated Leeward Islands Hurricanes by six wickets at Warner Park. Kjorn Ottley had earlier fallen agonisingly short of his maiden first class hundred when he was dismissed for 99 as Red Force, resuming on 184 for four, were bowled out for 246 in their second innings. The left-handed Ottley, unbeaten on 87 overnight, added just 12 before he became fast bowler Jason Dawes’ only wicket of the innings, seventh out with the score on 220.

All told, he faced 173 balls in 230 minutes and counted 15 fours and two sixes. He was part of a slide that saw the last six Red Force wickets fall for just 50 runs. Leg-spinner Odean Brown (3-37) and seamer David Bernard Jr (349) picked up three wickets apiece. Jamaica were then given a rousing start from Campbell who put on 51 off 44 balls with Horace Miller (8) for the first wicket. When Miller was bowled by pacer Marlon Richards in the eighth over of the innings, it paved the way for another enterprising

stand between Campbell and Blackwood. The left-handed Campbell faced just 70 balls and thumped 12 fours and two sixes while Blackwood, a righthander, counted five fours and a six off 75 deliveries. Jason Mohammed, bowling his part-time off-spin, got the crucial breakthrough when he claimed Campbell lbw. His scalp proved decisive as three wickets fell quickly for 17 runs. Blackwood and Brandon King, who hit 20, revived the innings in a 27-run, fifth wicket partnership but once Blackwood departed bowled by Khan.

CARIFTA hopefuls shine despite wet conditions By Leeron Brumell YOUNG athletes hoping to make the CARIFT Games shortlist remained consistent on Sunday when the Athletics Association ran off its third Developmental Meet at the GDF Ground, Camp Ayanganna. Among those to put in good performances on the wet track – Carifta Gold medalist Cassie George, Compton Caesar, Onassha Rogers, Kenisha Phillips, Brian Roman and Natrina Hooper. More than two hours were lost to rain but when the action began, athletes were eager to get in their final competition before the March 7-8 Trials. The National Sports Commission Junior and Senior Sportswoman of the year George, of the Christianburg Wismar Secondary School Track Club (CWSS), opened her day with the 1500m in the U-17 class. She’d be unstoppable. Andrea Foster of Running Braves would try to pull off an upset, but after the first 600m, the race was all George’s. With a cool grace, the Lindener moved away and never looked back, completing victory in 4 minutes 45.6 seconds. Foster came in 2nd in 4 minutes 59.2 seconds. Foster would again seek to upset George when they met in the 800m later in the day. From the whistle, Foster went out, egged on by her coaches and club mates but she’d be left behind before the first 400m was up. George was comfortable with about a 10m lead entering the home straight. To her credit, Foster found some gas and tried to close the gap, but it was a foregone conclusion; George crossed the line in 2 mins 19.9 seconds. Foster clocked 2 mins 21.4 seconds. Also impressing from the CWSS club – Compton Caesar. He’s been unstoppable over the past three developmental meets in the 100m and 200m sprints in the Boys U-20 division. Running off the U-20 and Open 100m events together because of a limited number of athletes – Caesar came 2nd to the GDF’s Open athlete Patrick King (10.5 secs), but he was the first in his class across the line in 10.8 seconds. In the 200m – Caesar clocked 21.5 seconds for the win ahead of Linton Mentic (Police) in 21.9 seconds and Quacy Clemenson of Running Braves 22.1 seconds.

Caesar’s club-mate Onassha Rogers also put in a good performance. She won the 100m in 12.1 secs ahead of South American Youth 400m Silver medalist Natrena Hooper of Running Braves with Tiranna Mitchell in 3rd from Super Upcoming Runners (SUR). Rogers would be relegated to 2nd in the 200m Finals by time, since there were 10 athletes registered. Avon Samuels took the win with a 25.2 seconds run. Rogers clocked 25.6. Kenisha Phillips has also been undefeated in the 100m and 200m over the last three meets. Victory in the 100m was in 12.2 secs and in the 200m 25.1 seconds. Natrina Hooper in her pet event the 400m in the U-20 division got around the track in 56.7 seconds for the win ahead of

Cassie George leads Andrea Foster in the U-20 girls 1500m.

Avon Samuels (57.7secs). Her coach Julian Edmonds said she shaved off more than a second from the same time last year. They were the only two to run below one minute in the event. Brian Roman also has been consistent 11.6 in the 100m for the win and in the 200m – 23:00, but lost out to Daniel Williams in the 400m.

BCB congratulates victorious Inter-county Under-15 team THE president and members of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday congratulated their Under-15 team which on Saturday won the inter-county championship after defeating Demerara in the final played at the Wales ground West Bank, Demerara. Scores: Berbice 160 for 5 from their 50 overs, Demerera in reply were bowled out for 129 in 44 overs. A release from the Board said that all Berbicians are proud of the young cricketers, the coach Andre Percival and manager Kwesi Maltay. Special mention was made of the experienced chairman of the junior selection panel Leslie Solomon and his team for a job well done. The release further stated that it is never easy to select any junior team as in the case of the senior team which almost picks itself. The Board has endorsed the work of the panel and given its full support. The panel has already started preparations for the Under-17 team with trials fixed for next weekend at the Albion Sports Complex and The Young Warriors Cricket Club grounds. Under-13 and Under-19 trials will follow. Gratitude was also extended to the major sponsors of the Under-15 cricket in Berbice: Tenelec Inc of the USA and National Communication Network (NCN). Despite the BCB’s limited financial resources, it will continue to work to develop cricket at ALL levels in the ancient county with particular interest at the youth level, the nursery

of the game. The BCB welcomes the latest sponsors of junior cricket in the secondary schools, A. Ally and Sons and Dalchand Rambharose of the USA. The Board calls on all cricket lovers to come on board and support the BCB as they strive for help in the form of spon-

sorship for the three-day first division cricket competition, a competition that is missing for the longest while and one that is so important for the further development of the game. A ceremony will be held soon to honour the players, coach, manager, the junior selectors and parents.

The winning Berbice Under-15 team pose with the championship trophy in the presence of their manager and coach and other Board officials.

Atwell weathers storm to claim WBC CABOFE Junior welterweight title

By Michael DaSilva

Guyana’s Clive `The Punisher’ Atwell weathered a `severe storm’ to clinch the World Boxing Council’s (WBC) junior Welterweight title on Saturday night at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. Fighting in front a small but appreciative partisan crowd, Atwell secured a 12-round split decision victory over Jamaica’s Sakima Mullings after judge Clifford Browne of Jamaica scored the bout 115-113 in favour of his countryman, judge Francis Abrahaim of Guyana scored it 118-111 in favour of Atwell and judge McKanzie of Trinidad and Tobago scored it 116-112 in favour of Atwell. From the first round, both boxers were feeling each other out with Atwell being the aggressor early in the round using his left jabs to good effect, some of which he doubled, changing them into left hooks and Mullings quartering his opponent throwing a few punches that went wide of their mark. Round two saw Mullings coming forward but Atwell kept at bay and continued to use his left jabs to good effect and countered Mullings’ left hooks with stiff one-two combinations getting the measure of his Jamaican counterpart
