AFC/APNU Alliance says Harper should have said no…
Detractors’ criticisms seem to be ‘acts of desperation’ By Vanessa Narine THE naming of career diplomat, Elisabeth Harper, as the ruling Party’s Prime Ministerial candidate came as a shock to many and while there have been many expressions of support for her nomination, the consensus from the Opposition camp is that Harper should have declined the offer. This considered, President Donald Ramotar, in an exclusive interview with the Guyana Chronicle, noted that the criticisms of Harper’s detractors seem to be “acts of desperation.” The incumbent is also the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) presidential candidate and stressed that his running mate is aptly capable to function in the post
– President Ramotar unity we are building, as well as our efforts to broaden our coalition, via the Party’s Civic component.” Since winning office in 1992, the PPP/C presidential candidate has been taken from the PPP – which includes card bearing party members, while its prime ministerial candidate is taken from its Civic component – members of the wider society aligned to the PPP for the purpose of making a contribution to Guyana, but are not party members. “This partnership characterises our efforts to build a Government of national unity,” President Ramotar said, debunking the criticism from the Alliance – A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Al-
ter jockeying for power and the Prime Ministerial nomination in particular which has obviously become so acrimonious that an outside consensus candidate in Mrs. Harper had to have been introduced in an attempt to calm the acrimonious tensions.”
CONTINUOUS EFFORT However, the President reiterated that Harper’s appointment is in line with both its effort to widen its support base and broaden the Civic component of the PPP/C – a continuous effort. “We have been reaching out to all Guyanese. This is in line with our philosophy of national unity and our efforts in constantly trying to broaden our coalition,” Mr Ramotar said. Last August, the PPP dis-
Incumbent Head of State and PPP/C presidential candidate, Donald Ramotar, in talks with the party’s prime ministerial candidate, Elisabeth Harper, at a recent event of prime minister and continue to make contributions to Guyana, this time from a different level. He said, “Our party has been very inclusive and Mrs Harper’s appointment is a reflection of the national
liance For Change (AFC) – that the PPP/C is deeply divided and in disarray. The Alliance in a statement on Saturday, after the PPP/C announcement, said, “It (the announcement) speaks to the intense and bit-
closed that it had been engaging various stakeholders and interest groups in discussions on the current political situation, according to a statement from the Party, which added that encouraging interest has been shown in the establish-
ment of a national democratic front ahead of the next general and regional elections. The statement said, “The People’s Progressive Party is heartened by the interest shown by a large number of civic and political stakeholders in forming a broad national democratic front with the Party ahead of the next general and regional elections. “The PPP has been meeting with various stakeholders and interest groups to discuss the political situation and the need for more to be done to realise the establishment of this broad National Democratic Front Alliance, which would see Guyanese electors benefiting significantly from higher levels of transparency, accountability, good governance and democratic rule.” According to the party, it is satisfied that its ideology, political principles and track-record have managed to attract many stakeholders who are interested in joining its national democratic platform to build and further
develop Guyana.
MANY FIRSTS Additionally, the President rejected the criticism that the PPP/C, via Harper’s nomination, is seeking to play up her gender appeal. “We have always been appealing to women. The PPP/C has given Guyana its first female president, its first female Chancellor, its first female Chief Justice and now its first Prime Ministerial candidate. There have been many firsts that the PPP/C has given Guyana,” he said. Mr Ramotar was unapologetic of acknowledging the Party’s historic recognition of the interests of women in Guyana. “We have always been representative of all our people, including women. We recognise their interests,” he posited. The President made it clear that Harper was not chosen on the basis that she is a woman, but the nomination was merits-based. “She is a bright woman
who has dedicated her whole life, her whole working life, to Guyana and served Guyana well. She is a patriot,” he said. Meanwhile, Harper in an early morning Facebook post, made her first comments on her nomination. She said, “I accepted the offer to be the running mate of His Excellency President Donald Ramotar as the Prime Ministerial candidate after contemplating the significant opportunity which this could present for me to serve the people of Guyana in a higher capacity. “I remain completely dedicated to striving for the betterment of my country. I have received so many messages of goodwill and support. Their sincerity is overwhelming and touching. I am deeply bolstered by this support.” The PPP/C declaration of its leadership ticket on Saturday culminates the naming of political leaders for the two major political players in Guyana, ahead of the May 11 General and Regional elections.

U.S., allies stage 25 Ukraine says cannot withdraw heavy weapons air strikes on Islamic State: joint task force as attacks persist (Reuters) - KIEV accused pro-Russian rebels of opening fire with rockets and artillery at villages in southeastern Ukraine on Monday, all but burying a week-old European-brokered ceasefire deal. The Ukrainian military said it could not pull weapons from the front as required under the tenuous truce, as long as its troops were still under attack. The Ukrainian currency, nearly in freefall this month, fell a further 10 percent on Monday on fears that the truce could collapse. The central bank said it would impose import curbs to sustain the hryvnia. The value of Ukrainian debt also fell, with bonds now trading at 40 cents on the dollar. The reported shooting came closer to killing off the truce, intended to end fighting that has killed more than 5,600 people, which rebels ignored last week to capture the strategic town of Debaltseve in a punishing defeat for Kiev. Western countries still hope the truce can be salvaged if the rebels halt having achieved that
(Reuters) - THE United States and its allies staged 25 air strikes on Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria, focusing on the Syrian cities of Kobani and Hasakah, the Combined Joint Task Force said on Monday. In attacks from Sunday morning through Monday morning, the coalition staged 11 strikes near Hasakah that hit 10 tactical units and six raids near Kobani that struck five tactical units and five fighting positions, the task force said in a statement. With the coalition’s help, Syrian Kurds have been pushing Islamic State in recent fighting.
Fighters with the separatist self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic army ride in the back of a truck towing a mobile artillery cannon as they leave the frontline, and head toward Donetsk
objective. But Germany, whose Chancellor Angela Merkel was the driving force behind the peace deal, said in unusually strong terms that it was now clear that the ceasefire was not being implemented. Kiev says it fears the rebels, backed by reinforcements of Russian troops, are planning to advance deeper into territory the Kremlin calls “New Russia”. Moscow denies aiding the rebels. Fighting has diminished since Kiev’s forces abandoned Debaltseve in defeat last Wednesday, and there were
hopeful signs for the truce over the weekend, with an overnight exchange of around 200 prisoners late on Saturday and an agreement on Sunday to begin pulling back artillery from the front. But Kiev said on Monday that two of its soldiers had been killed and 10 wounded in overnight fighting, and it could not start the artillery withdrawal if its troops were under attack. “Given that the positions of Ukrainian servicemen continue to be shelled, there cannot yet be any talk of pulling back weapons,” spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov said. Dmytro Chaly, spokesman for the Ukrainian military in the port of Mariupol which Kiev fears will be the next target, said rebels opened fire in the afternoon with Grad rockets, artillery and tanks on villages nearby. Anatoly Stelmakh, another military spokesman, said rebel forces had attacked the village of Shyrokyne overnight. “The fighters have not stopped their attempts to storm our positions in Shyrokyne, in the direction of Mariupol. At midnight armed groups again attempted unsuccessfully to attack our soldiers. The battle lasted half an hour.”

French aircraft carrier begins Iraq operations: French sources (Reuters) – FRANCE’S Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier has started military operations against Islamic State in Iraq, a French army source said on Monday. “The carrier and its naval group has officially started missions as part of its Chammal operation in Iraq,” the source told Reuters in a reference to the name of the mission. A second source said the carrier would be engaged for several weeks. Le Figaro newspaper, which is accompanying Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian ahead of an official announcement he is set to make on the carrier on Monday, said the first reconnaissance and possible air strikes in Iraq took place in the morning.

Poor decision making Colombian gang caused plane crash ‘sold kidnap victims that killed evangelist Myles Munroe to ELN guerrilla’ (BBC News) PROSECUTORS in Colombia say they have dismantled a gang which allegedly kidnapped people and sold them on to the Marxist ELN rebel group. Twelve people have been arrested on suspicion of belonging to the gang, which operated in the north-western province of Choco. Among them is a local councillor, prosecutors said. The ELN is Colombia’s second largest rebel group and partly funds itself through extortion and ransom payments. The gang is believed to have been behind at least six kidnappings, prosecutor Luis Gonzalez Leon said. All six victims were handed over by the gang to the ELN rebel group, he added. Among them was the mayor of the town of Alto Baudo, Freddy Palacios Ramirez, who was seized in December and is still believed to be in the hands of
The ELN is estimated to have some 1,500 active fighters
the ELN. The ELN rebels are thought to have paid the gang up to $125,000 (£81,500) per kidnap victim, the prosecutor said. The rebel group announced last year that it was willing to enter into peace talks with the Colombian government. But the government demanded that the group free all of its captives first. The ELN was founded in 1964 to fight Colombia’s unequal distribution of land and riches. It is estimated to have
some 1,500 active fighters. It is smaller and commands less territory than Colombia’s other Marxist rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc). Peace talks between the government and the Farc have been going on for more than two years, with the next round due to start on Wednesday. The two sides have reached partial deals on several issues but have not yet reached a definitive peace accord.
Crime no 1 worry in T&T ( Tr i n i d a d G u a r d i a n ) CITIZENS have identified crime as the number one issue affecting the country. Crime is seen as far more important and urgent than corruption, lack of leadership, declining oil prices, poor healthcare, lack of morality, race relations, unemployment and the economy. These were some of the findings in a recent Trinidad Guardian poll conducted and supervised by Prof Derek Chadee, director of the ANSA McAL Psychological Research Centre, University of the West Indies, St Augustine. It was also suggested by respondents that, the Government needed to implement more social programmes and jobs to alleviate the crime problem. Over 50 per cent of
the respondents also urged the Government to leave social programmes alone, in spite of falling oil prices. Though crime has been listed as the country’s biggest headache, some held the view that “everywhere in this country is corruption” and “you have to pass bribe for everything.” The poll, a nationwide survey held from January 29 to February 3, interviewed 507 respondents over the age of 18 selected
by a random digit dialling method. The intention of the survey was to assess popular opinion on a number of major issues. Overall, the sample was made up of 35 per cent Afro-Trinidadians, 39 per cent Indo-Trinidadians, 25 per cent Mixed race persons and one per cent other groups. The sample comprised 53 per cent females. The margin of error is plus or minus four per cent.
NASSAU, Bahamas (CMC) – THE Department of Civil Aviation Aircraft Accident Investigation and Prevention Unit (AAIPU) says “poor decision making” led to the plane crash that killed nine people, including religious leader Dr Myles Munroe last November. The AAIPU has issued its final report on the crash that occurred on November 9 last year. “The AAIPU has determined that the probable cause of this accident was the poor decision making of the crew in initiating and continuing a descent in IMC below the authorised altitude, without visual contact with the runway environment,” said the report. Munroe, founder and president of Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI), his wife Ruth, Dr Richard Pinder, a BFMI executive, Lavard and Rudel Parks, BFMI youth ministers, and their son Johanan were on board the bombardier Learjet piloted by Captain Stanley Thurston and co-pilot Frankan Cooper. Diego DeSantiago, 38, a resident of Colorado in the United States, who frequently travelled with Munroe as a translator, was also killed in the crash. The AAIPU said that the aircraft with registration number, N17UF, had made an initial ILS instrument approach to Runway 16 at the Grand Bahama International
Dr Myles Munroe and wife Ruth Munroe
Airport, but due to poor visibility and rain at the decision height, the crew executed a go around procedure. “During the second attempt, the aircraft struck a crane positioned at Dock # 2 of the Grand Bahama Shipyard at approximately 220 feet above sea level, some 3.2 nautical miles (NM) from the runway.” The AAIPU said that a fireball lasting approximately three seconds was observed as a result of the contact between the aircraft and the crane. “The right outboard wing, right landing gear and right wing fuel tank separated from the aircraft on impact. This resulted in the aircraft travelling out of control, some 1,578 feet before crashing inverted into a pile
of garbage and other debris in the City Services Garbage and Metal Recycling Plant adjacent to the Grand Bahama Shipyard. “Both crew members and seven passengers were fatally injured. No persons on the ground were injured,” the AAIPU reported. The AAIPU said that its investigations were helped by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Bombardier, the aircraft manufacturer. Prime Minister Perry Christie who together with his Transport and Aviation Minister Glenys Hanna Martin had visited the crash site, described the incident as a “tragic, unpredictable loss of life”.

EDITORIAL We commend Elisabeth Harper PRIME MINISTER Samuel Hinds, the patriarchal figure, so respected by former President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo and beloved by all PPP/C supporters, is gracefully bowing out of the office he has held since he, representing the social movement, GUARD, and his brother of the soul, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, heading the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), formed PPP/
Civic alliance that endured, with great affection and respect, until the demise of the country’s greatest freedom fighter and beyond, until today. Presidential Advisor Gail Teixeira said recently during a television programme that the initial arrangement that was created without a formal formula for the partnership was acceptable with a 20% ratio for the civic component,
but the bonding became so strong and meaningful that the civic aspect has been increasing in numbers until it has reached almost an equal composition. This is living proof that the PPP keeps good faith with trustworthy persons and organisations. PM Sam wrote: “Prior to the 1992 General Election the PPP and the Civic group had a “Gentleman’s Agreement” and up to 2015
the TEAM PPP/C continues to be the strong driving force behind Guyana’s development.” T h e “ G e n t l e m a n ’s Agreement” also included in its formulation that the composition of the Government formed would have the nominated representative of PPP in the Presidential slot, while the Prime Ministerial position would always be held by the Civic component. The second
GUYANA
Prime Ministerial candidate of the Civic component, after in excess of two decades during which PM Sam served this country with exemplary dedication and commitment, is Ms. Elisabeth Harper, a career diplomat who served the governments of both the PNC and PPP/C. In welcoming Ms. Harper to the fold, the Prime Minister wrote: “I extend heartiest congratulations to Ms. Elisabeth Harper, Director-General, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs - DG, as she is familiarly known - on the announcement of her selection as Prime Ministerial candidate for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) in the up-coming national and regional elections, on May 11, 2015. DG is a Guyanese of exceptional national commitment who, I am confident, would work with everyone in pursuit of the national ‘good’. Indeed, I commend Ms. Elisabeth Harper to all who wish Guyana well.
The PNC is back, so beware THERE are some recent developments in the political arena which would suggest that the PNC has intensified its efforts to resurrect their late founder-leader Forbes Burnham. Guyanese would have thought that the PNC was serious in projecting a new image when they embarked on name changes and party symbols. One would have thought that the WPA leaders believed that the ‘hand’ on APNU’s symbol was meant to be a ‘clean hand’, one which can be trusted. Furthermore, AFC leaders have now embarked on a journey to convince Guyanese that they must forget the past. What is a great puzzle is on one hand Guyanese are asked to
forget the past, while on the other hand, the current leaders of the PNC are intensifying their efforts to resurrect the past and the man who destroyed this country with his dictatorial rule through the barefaced rigging of elections and corruption. Firstly, the PNC decided to start their election campaign on Burnham’s birthday and this is no coincidence. They want the supporters of the PNC to know that they have not moved away from the principles of the Founder-Leader and that the identity of the party has not been compromised in any way. This is in effect saying the WPA has been swallowed into the belly of the PNC and has lost its identity. APNU is the PNC
of old! This is the spirit of revival which will cause the emotional surge to revitalise and energise the PNC supporters since the message is: the old PNC is here again! Secondly, the strategic coalition of the AFC and APNU is the old modus operandi which was used by Burnham in 1964. The PNC is willing to coalesce with AFC in order to depose the PPP. The Cummingsburg Accord is without legal merit, it is outside the Constitution and depends heavily on the premise that Granger will honour the arrangement. But again, it should be recalled that when D’Augiar resigned as Finance Minister, the other ministers of the UF were bought by Burnham
and the UF lost its Third party status forever. The present APNU/AFC coalition can be seen to be taken from the ‘playbooks of Forbes Burnham’, not Cheddi Jagan’s, as was wrongfully attributed by Ralph Ramkarran! Ramkarran should know that the present coalition is about acquiring power by the PNC and has nothing to do with social and economic development of this country. Show some sense of objectivity, Mr Ramkarran! Thirdly, it must be noted with great interest that Robert Corbin is back! A c c o r d i n g t o A P N U ’s General Secretary, ‘ the party has realised that its past members, as well as its present members, can make all the difference
in the results of the elections…so Mr Corbin has a role to play’. Corbin’s nefarious role in the old PNC is not easily forgotten. Is it a coincidence that the old PNC players are coming home to roost? These are people who were part of the gang which destroyed this country. They have deliberately kept in the background but have now emerged because the final kill has been made - the AFC has been craftily snared and the PNC has everything on stream to achieve what they have been deprived of since 1992.Trotman has done well to use the hate-mongers -- Nagamootoo and Ramjattan -- to the advantage of the PNC. But the PNC has failed to understand that those
who have supported the AFC in the past will never support the PNC, since the past has been indelibly written in their very psyche and soul. This is not about Indo-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese, it is about a dictatorial government which jailed people and seized their property simply because they wanted food; a government which pauperised an entire nation; a government which rigged and murdered people to stay in power; a government which caused an exodus of the people and a government which denied its people basic human rights and dignity. The old PNC is back, so beware!

– AFC uses dismissal to gain political mileage
THE Judicial Service Commission (JSC) took a decision last week to dismiss serving magistrates Geeta Chandan-Edmond and Chandra Sohan for alleged infractions. According to reports, Chandan-Edmond who presided at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court appeared before the Commission where it was said that while she was on maternity leave, a Minutes Book went missing. A Kaieteur News article dated February 21, also added to the list of infractions highlighting that the dismissed magistrate was facing, “charges ranging from her inability to deliver 19 decisions, to her leaving the country without approval. “Being absent from a
Magistrates’ Association meeting to discuss the Sexual Offences Act; failing to report absence from work to the Chancellor and failure to respond to queries from the Chief Magistrate are said to be a few other reasons for her dismissal,” the daily newspaper was quoted as saying. Chandan-Edmond was expected to sentence the son of Prime Minister Samuel Hinds sometime next week, following assault charges which were laid against him last year. Samuel Hinds Jr. was found guilty of assaulting 18-year old Tenza Lane last year by the outgoing magistrate. As such, his sentence was expected to be handed down sometime next week by the said magistrate.
Geeta Chandan-Edmond
Chandra Sohan
However, the Alliance For Change (AFC) have since sought to use the issue to gain political mileage by linking the dismissal of Chandan-Edmond to the Government of Guyana, since she -- Chandan-Edmond - was expected to sentence the prime minis-
ter’s son. In a statement issued by the AFC yesterday, the party suggested that the magistrate was fired because she found Prime Minister Samuel Hinds’s son guilty on an unlawful wounding charge and was supposed to hand down his sentence.
“There was no hearing or any invitation to any hearing on the allegations for the entire year of 2014. Samuel Hinds Jr. was charged with a serious criminal offence of unlawful wounding on the 3rd March 2014. Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond conducted the trial and found Samuel Hinds Jr. guilty on the 6th February, 2015.” In contradictory fashion however, the same release went on to explain that Chandan-Edmond was written to by the Commission since January. This was a few months prior to the Magistrate finding Hinds guilty. Chandan-Edmond in an interview with HGP Nightly News was reported as saying: “It’s hurting to know
I lost my job all because I followed my oath.” She continued: “There are no allegations of illegality or impropriety levelled against me.” Meanwhile, Senior Magistrate Chandra Sohan was fired by the C ommis sion follow in g allegations of document tampering. Prior to this, he was given temporary marching orders last December for a number of issues, including: leaving the country during the month of December, 2013 without permission; unauthorised absence from work on December 28, 2013 and January 7, 2014; and discrepancies, which were discovered between fines recorded by him on magisterial case jackets.

Respect and acceptance of each other’s culture is critical to National Development
By Keith Burrowes CONGRATULATIONS to Minister Anthony and his staff, as well as the Government and people of Guyana, for successfully staging Mashramani 2015. This article somewhat relates to the broader objectives of Mashramani 2015. Over the past five years these articles I have on several occasions addressed the issue of Tolerance and will continue in the future. I recently saw a TV documentary addressing this issue. It follows the lives of several people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and explores how they interact with each other. The main message is about the ‘collisions’ the characters have with each other throughout a particular timeline. Tolerance is broader than the narrow field of racial tolerance or intolerance. Tolerance at its most basic level is more

Christian culture values inform the Western social values, Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma is the foundation for the one billion people in India, while the Islamic influence is strong within the Middle East value system. In our multicultural society, we have all these religious cultures and while their demographic representation is not equal, representation on each front is very strong. Therefore, to present information on religion-informed

The one flaw which was present in all the characters in the story was not that they possessed any inherent unshakeable prejudice – it was their lack of cultural education. My perspective on cultural education in Guyana may perhaps be limited to my own personal sphere of experience. That being said, I think that, judging from how our society is, how people in Guyana perceive each other, something else or something more needs to be done on how we educate our children and by extension our society about the various cultures which co-exist here. One may be quick to envisage an upgraded cultural education component within the current social studies curriculum. The problem with this approach however is that cradling cultural education within the competitive academic environment of our primary and secondary system will very likely take away from the intent of the programme in the first place. Another problem with the concept of a cultural edu-
Keith Burrowes cultures within the official curriculum would leave the system open to allegations of proselytising on all sides. The question would quite reasonably be asked of where exactly would be the dividing line between indoctrination and education. Cultural education has to take place primarily in the home, with assistance being provided through direct programmes with some institution, perhaps the Ethnic Rela-
tions Commission. One other thing parents may be able to do is keep an artifact or two from a religion that isn’t the family faith in their homes. These can act as conversation pieces for growing children and reinforce their understanding of other cultures as adults, without compromising the family faith. Perhaps the mass media can be involved. For example, recently I’ve started watching African and Indian movies which are broadcast on local television. I would like to commend whoever is undertaking to air them, and it’s clear that the agenda behind the airings goes beyond entertainment, because I have been able to learn so much about African and Indian culture because of these movies. They have served to enhance of my perspective of Africa and India. As a side note if this comes across as a bit of product placement endorsement for the movie industry, it isn’t. Whatever the methods, there needs to be an ongoing effort in Guyana to have young children in particular understand and appreciate the varying cultures that exist in society. Not that attempts at cultural education haven’t been tried before and don’t continue up to this day. My point though is that the appreciation of other people’s cultures in Guyana – within the cultural education/appreciation paradigm – has to a great degree evolved into token representation or symbolic reenactment of events. So, for example, we learn about African culture every August or about Amerindian culture every September. We learn about Diwali and Eid once a year as well. What we are doing is shoving education about cultures that have individually undergone thousands of years of development and evolution into a day or a week or a month of activity. Additionally, this education is not progressive; the eventbased nature of our mode of cultural education causes it to be necessarily limited and repetitive. The end result is that we really are not learning fully from the methods of public cultural education. I would like to state emphatically that people have to co-exist. You cannot fundamentally change anyone’s culture and you should not seek to. Too often when we engage in cultural discussions, it is within a framework where each side thinks that the other has to accept its view as prerequisite to further engagement. Tolerance is less about accepting, than it is about understanding. Mashramani is an excellent vehicle to promote unity in Guyana.

President attributes 2014 economic growth of 4.5% to good governance
PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has stated that Guyana’s economic performance in the face of the recent global economic recession is commendable when viewed against the performance of other countries. During his second interview on the programme ‘At Home with the President’, which focused on the economy and job creation and was aired last evening on the National Communications Network, the Head of State said the worldwide economic downturn which began in 2008 affected Guyana’s largest trading partners, USA and Europe, and negatively impacted the Caribbean, causing several countries to have to either lay off workers or reduce or freeze wages in order to cope. So, “In that context, Guyana has done extremely well,” the President said. The estimated economic growth for 2014 was pegged at 4.5 percent, the President said. Himself an economist, the Head of State noted that this marks nine years of uninterrupted growth, the longest in Guyana’s history, and “shows (that) Guyana practises good governance and good husbandry of the economy…while keeping inflation rate at around 3%. The President deemed this an achievement in itself for the country. President Ramotar also pointed to the country’s growing investment portfolio over the past three years, and to major investments in agriculture, mining and non-traditional sectors -- in particular small business development. He also highlighted some of the challenges faced by the sectors, and singled out the rice industry, which has broken production records over the past year but which is encountering some difficulty in securing profitable markets for the farmers. Gold has also played a major role in the economy, the President explained, but since Guyana is a “price taker” and the prices are fluctuating internationally, “sometimes it has been very good when it's high; but sometimes it has been low, and sometimes this has caused difficulties. So, while on the production side it has done extremely well, there is still some amount of uncertainty as far as the markets are concerned”, he said. This notwithstanding, he said gold has made an outstanding contribution to the development of the local society. Looking at sugar, which he said has also contributed immensely, he reminded that this was adversely affected when the

European Union reduced the preferential prices of sugar purchased, and this precipitated the need to restructure the industry. “Last year, the price of sugar fell by about 50% of what it was in 2013, so while the industry is recovering its production capacity and showing brilliant signs of recovery, the international prices at this time are very unfavourable. “Hopefully, by the second crop of this year, prices will be able to go up again, and that will certainly help the sugar industry to continue to play the major role that it has played in our economy for centuries,” the President said. Some of the restructuring efforts involve the examination of new revenue streams, such as the sale of molasses, not only in bulk, but in small quantities; production of new types of sugar, and co-generation of electricity. Small businesses, which have been expanding over the years, have also positively impacted on the local economy, President Ramotar disclosed. He mentioned that government has actively pursued and obtained financing at low interest rates to assist small entrepreneurs, and this, he said, has caused many businesses to expand their operations. “In the Rupununi now, they are not only producing peanuts, but peanut butter. They have a market now, specifically the big schools that they have there, because the government provides meals and snacks, and they have a ready market”, the President disclosed. Job creation remains a top priority for government, hence government is preparing for a knowledge-based society to cater for Guyana’s future needs, President Ramotar said. Education is key to the development of any society and its modernisation, the President reminded, hence the drafting of the Education R eform Bill that was laid in the Parliament to modernise the sector. Passage of this bill has unfortunately been halted after the prorogation of Parliament. It was noted that, even with the building of new schools across the country, another factor that will have to be taken into consideration is the redesigning of classrooms to meet future needs, even as the country continues to prepare persons to meet the demands of job opportunities that are “coming on stream”. President Ramotar expressed optimism that Guyana will soon become an oil and gas producer; and this, he said, will
create a lot of jobs “directly and indirectly in a spin-off way”. But he added that the only way for Guyanese to benefit from these opportunities is to have the required training; hence the push to ensure that all students have at least a sound secondary-level education. Accordingly, a stronger focus is being placed on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects to ensure that persons are competent enough to fill the hightech positions which are set to be available in the future. Touching on the conditions for existing workers, the President said the minimum wage has “gone up greatly over the years”, and some employers have even approached government to import more labour. The income tax threshold has also been increased, and this has provided more expendable income to workers. Other benefits which assist the working class include the free distribution of text books and provision of uniforms, hot meals and snacks for children in schools; the $10,000 cash grant; free health services; and even the housing programme, which has ensured that more than 100,000 Guyanese families each owns a home. Once re-elected, President Ramotar said, workers can continue to look forward to better paying jobs and greater opportunities. He reminded of the emergence of the oil and gas sector, and modernisation of the agriculture sector, which will bring more job opportunities. The growth in the private sector, which will also help in these goals, the president said, is due to the government’s investment in infrastructure such as roads and bridges. The main issue, however, remains the provision of cheap, reliable electricity to enable the faster growth of the economy; and for the president, the Amaila Falls Hydro Power Project remains a priority. Advancement of this project has been affected by the parliamentary opposition's non-support. Government’s effort to make available alternative energy has resulted in the decision to offer duty-free concessions to importers of solar panels and other generating equipment, such as low-energy bulbs. The move to reduce electricity tariffs and fuel prices in light of the drop in international oil prices, and even the reduction of property taxes, will also benefit Guyanese across the board.

Japan pumps US$290,000 into three NGOs to transform lives
– once the seed is planted, development will grow – Minister Rodrigues-Birkett
Habitat for Humanity Guyana National Director, Andrew Small with First Secretary of the Embassy of Japan Takaaki Kato on receiving the grant funding for the construction of a Habitat for Humanity Resource Centre
By Tajeram Mohabir REPRESENTATIVES of three Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) recently poured out their gratitude to the Governments of Guyana and Japan for helping them to make a genuine difference in the lives of people. The Japanese Government, in recognition of the need to support and empower youth, especially those who are vulnerable, issued grants to the Special Needs for Life Inc., Habitat for Humanity (Guyana) and the Roadside Baptist Church Skills Training Centre to the tune of US$290,000. Chief Executive Officer of the Roadside Baptist Church Skills Training Centre, Yetrawatee Katryan, in expressing thanks to the two governments, said the work of the church is geared towards improving the lives of at-risk youth, women, children and the elderly through education, income generating skills training and social services. The US$90,000 awarded to the church will go towards a project entitled: “The Renovating of the Roadside Baptist Church Skills Training Centre”. Under the project, the church’s outdoor auditorium will be renovated and a shed destroyed by storm last year will be rebuilt. The ceiling, walls and furniture in the shed would be repaired while a portion of the money will go towards the enhancement of services in the information technology laboratory, library and office. The auditorium, which was
built in 1997, has provided services to thousands of Berbicians over the years but exposure to elements of the weather has taken a toll on it, to the point where no amount of fixing and patching could be of any help. “It was the desire year by year to replace the roof and renovate the structure. That dream will become a reality now, much to the relief of the team and the beneficiaries, less stress and moving around furniture when it rains, no more fear in cleaning and someone slipping and sliding, and yes, our neighbours can now be breathing a sigh of relief,” Katryan said. In 1998, the Japanese Embassy also helped the Roadside Baptist Church Skills Training Centre in establishing an information technology laboratory, the first on the Corentyne, Region 6 (East Berbice-Corentyne). BENEFITING THOUSANDS The Chief Executive Officer reported that the project is still in operation, pointing out that it has prepared thousands of youths over the years for jobs and higher education. Last December, with the support of the Labour Ministry, some 40 young people were trained in IT and computer maintenance. And Katryan said that like the IT project, the new grant assistance will benefit thousands in the years ahead. Habit for Humanity Guyana National Director Andrew Small also praised the two governments for their support, and gave thanks to God for pro-

viding the Habitat team with the energy and foresight to create positive change. The US$100,000 given to Habitat for Humanity will be used to construct a Habitat for Humanity Resource Centre, and Small said he is looking forward to see the project come to fruition. While many know Habitat for building homes for families in need, the organisation also has a very vibrant youth volunteer programme. CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS “It is through this programme we will be developing a programme in Linden focused on teaching young people creative thinking skills to reframe how they see issues in their communities and empowering them with the thinking tools to be able to come up with projects and solutions to their challenges,” Small said. According to him, the project is the first of its kind in Guyana, and Habitat will be providing support during the implementation stage as well as afterwards. Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer at Special Needs for Life Inc., Mark Adams, pointed out that the NGO enjoys a healthy relationship with the Government of Japan. The US$99,000 project to construct the Bina Hill Indigenous Youth Skill Training Centre follows the successful implementation of an initiative on deaf education and the teaching of the deaf culture at Kilcoy, Corentyne.

EDUCATING AMERINDIAN YOUTH Adams described the awarding of the grant as a joyous occasion, pointing out that the Special Needs for Life Inc. has been making great effort to educate Amerindian youth in special skills peculiar to their communities. He said the NGO has been moving Amerindians out of South Guyana to the coast for education and training, but many do not return to serve their communities. However, he noted that through the Bina Hill Indig-
enous Youth Skill Training Centre, this problem will be addressed. He also encouraged Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett to continue to support Amerindian micro-enterprise initiatives wherever they crop up, contending that in southern Guyana, there are a lot of initiatives from youth ages 16 to 25 that need support, and should be supported. These projects, Adams said, can do a whole lot to lift the socio-economic welfare of the people there. And Minister Rodrigues-Birkett noted that the
Government has been giving quite a lot of support to micro-credit initiatives, pointing out that the first was in North Rupununi, which was extended to Region 1 (Barima-Waini). “I am also aware that all of the Amerindian communities have what they call a Community Development Plan, so this is another way in which we channel resources from the Government to ensure we have sustainable communities. We have a long way to go, but once we plant the seed, it will grow and I believe the seed has been planted,” the Minister said.

PNC camp reportedly uneasy about alliance deal
THE A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) alliance was recently formalised, but according to reports, it happened only after a Jamaican politician stepped in to broker the deal. A reliable source told the Guyana Chronicle that the talks broke down on several occasions during the four-week negotiating period, but both parties were held together by the skilful arbitrator. Information obtained by this newspaper has indicated that though the two sides have agreed to coalesce, the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) leadership has some reservations on the deal struck. The PNCR is the largest party in the coalition, APNU. According to reports, several senior PNCR leaders are not in agreement with the 60-40 Cabinet allocation in favour of APNU if the APNU-AFC alliance is victorious at the polls. Following the coalition, former PNCR Executive Joseph Hamilton has contended that 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 wins outright at the May 11 polls.” Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, the Parliamentary Secretary with responsibility for Health said even though the deal has been agreed, based on his knowledge of the thinking of the PNCR there is a strong likelihood that it will be met with strong reservations from the party’s General Council. BRILLIANT STROKE He described the move by the small party as a “brilliant stroke to prolong its survival,” noting that in the history of local politics, the electorate has never been kind to third parties, and the AFC would have become increasingly aware of this. Under the agreement, AFC Vice Chairman Moses Nagamootoo has been named prime ministerial candidate in the alliance, and the party has been given three of the vice presidential positions, one of which automatically goes to the prime ministerial candidate should the alliance defeat the PPP/C at the upcoming elections. Unconfirmed reports say that the other two will go to AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan and vibrant party executive Cathy Hughes. From what came out of the alliance’s first press briefing on Friday, it was evident that some basic features of the coalition have not been agreed, and there is some reluctance to come to a mutual agreement. APNU and the AFC are yet to decide on a name for the alliance, and have placed their respective symbols next to each other on a tentative logo unveiled at the press briefing. Both AFC Leader Raphael Trotman and APNU General Secretary Joseph Harmon have said that they will not be “playing around” with the identity of their respective parties. They were also in strong agreement with the tentative logo, but will have to decide on where their supporters should put the X or a star on Elections Day, whether it will be next to the decorated palm or the primarily yellow key. Voters cannot put an X or star next to two symbols on a ballot paper. The alliance has since promised to re-examine the logo and make a decision on March 4, the date on which it will launch its media campaign. Faithful members of the alliance, the source told the Guyana Chronicle, are hoping that the “marriage” works and members do not hit the campaign trail as a warring and disarrayed bunch.

Weekly Investment Insights with Gary Eleazar
Relationships: those that survive postValentine’s Day
IN our previous column, we talked about introspection and its importance even in business and with Valentine’s Day celebrated across the world last weekend, it seems an apt time to expand beyond introspection, to also assessing and embracing relationships. The Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) shares a number of relationships with several government agencies and working together, these agencies have managed to significantly impact the local investment landscape, but its potential is yet to be fully utilised. One of GO-Invest’s primary functions-- one I have mentioned a couple of times over the past weeks-- is that of Export Promotion. The New Guyana Marketing Corporation (NGMC) is one such organisation that partners with GO-Invest and even a superficial understanding by any local exporter small, medium or large would appreciate the potential opportunities that abound. GO-Invest for example already have established relationships with Consulates across the world, while the New GMC focuses on markets for local produce. New GMC is technically a government corporation established under the Public Corporations Act, and has been working assiduously over the years to promote the cultivation and export of Guyana’s non-traditional agricultural crops to regional and extra-regional markets. Launched under the hand of the then Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud, Guyana had embarked on a “Grow More Food Campaign.” Market driven, according to Persaud, it would be interesting to know how many local farmers have taken the opportunity to approach GO-Invest and work together with the New GMC. What we have learnt in recent weeks while researching this entity is the lack of awareness among many about GO-Invest, what it does, what it can do and in future what it will be able to do. Back in September 2009, then President Bharrat Jagdeo at the certification ceremony for the Ogle International Airport had said that if Guyana wanted to position itself as the food basket of the Caribbean, then it is imperative that the nation moves toward what he called a plantation-type method of farming. Had this call been heeded, imagine what the possible outcomes would have been. Plantation-type farmers exporting their produce by utilising the services of GO-Invest and New GMC would have certainly been noticeable when the finance minister presents his routine financial report on incomes earned from the various sectors. In recent years, Guyana’s forests have also been taking on an increasingly dominant role in the local economy. In fact, Commissioner of Forests, James Singh, only recently presented a review of the sector for last year and reported on its exports and earnings. While it earned some US$54M for the nation and

Relationships: those that survive ... From page 12 employed another 23,000 persons, it must have come as a surprise to many that Guyana as a country currently only harvests just over a quarter of its “maximum allowable annual cut” for 2014. This means there is room for Guyanese -- and foreign investors -- to expand the forestry operations by almost 70 percent and still ensure that the country makes good on its international commitments. What many, including those working in the forestry sector are unaware of, is the fact that GO-Invest and GFC share an established relationship as it has been recognised that opportunities abound and can be realised even more fully if the agencies work together. When this Investment Insight series began, I had pointed out that this is one of the key areas that GO-Invest’s Chief Executive Officer Keith Burrowes wanted to focus on. That is the consolidation of resources and information in order to deliver a more efficient service while being able to better manage the data generated in the process. A relationship between a forestry concessionaire, GO-Invest and GFC can indeed prove to be a walk in greener pastures, given the opportunities in the sector. Guyana does have vast forest resources that cover more than three-quarters of its landmass and contain over 1,000 different tree varieties. For generations, rice has been cultivated on Guyana’s coast and the bulk of it is exported to foreign lands for foreign exchange. In fact, Guyana’s rice exports last year was more than it has ever exported in its history; but this is not and should not be the apex of the sector’s output. GO-Invest also shares a close relationship with the Guyana Rice Development Board and this is one of the many relationships that will survive post – Valentine, that should be capitalised on. The entity played a key role in the establishment of a mega farm in Region 9, a foreign investor that placed confidence in Guyana’s soil. While foreign direct investment in Guyana is indeed critical, especially given the size of the economy and the population, my preference would be for local investors to tap into the opportunities that exist. Before the elation over the Valentine relationships subside, investors may very well want to pay the GO-Invest’s office at Church and Camp Streets a visit to find out precisely what opportunities are available. GO-Invest support through its relationships is by no means limited to the New GMC, forestry and rice. One that may surprise many is the fact that GO-Invest also shares a working relationship with the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce. While the Industry and Commerce portfolios may very well be appreciable, even at face value, Tourism certainly marks a bold new venture worth capitalising on, especially given the administration’s advocacy. So today as you descend from amorous intoxication, think about heading down to GO-Invest’s office tomorrow and ask to speak to one of its investment or export officers. You may very well find a 2015 entrepreneurial ménage a trois worth keeping after Valentine’s Day. Comments and queries can be sent to garyeleazar@yahoo.com

BV man survives Mash Day ‘hit’ attempt on Regent St.
OTIS Grant, 39, of Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara, survived an execution attempt on his life early Monday morning as he was sitting in a parked motor vehicle on Regent Street when two men discharged gunshots at him. Police reported that at about 05:15 hrs yesterday, Mash Day, Grant, was sitting in a parked motor vehicle on Regent Street, Georgetown, when two men approached and discharged rounds at him. Grant was hit about his body and has been admitted to hospital. However, the perpetrators escaped in a waiting motor vehicle. Meanwhile, two persons were questioned over the execution-style killing of city businessman Randolph ‘Randy’ Singh last Wednesday night at his place of business by a lone gunman. Police have since said that it is a clear case of murMurdered: Randolph Singh der since robbery was not the motive and based on the accounts of eyewitnesses the gunman was only interested in Singh. Investigators reported that they have two persons of interest they want to question over the murder of Singh, and they will see where that leads. However, police do not have any video footage of the incident since the property was not outfitted with such equipment and the incident occurred when it was very dark in an area that has no street lighting. At the time ‘Randy’ was wearing gold jewellery, none of which was taken by the gunman. Police reported that at about 22:00 hours on February 18, businessman Randolph Singh, 41, of Charlotte Street, Bourda, along with two of his employees, including Dilbert Mohamed, 33, were seated opposite Singh’s business place at South Road, Bourda, when a man armed with a firearm approached and discharged several rounds in their direction and escaped on a motorcycle. Singh was hit about his body, while Dilbert Mohamed was struck to his right elbow. They were taken to the GPHC where Singh was pronounced dead on arrival, while Mohamed was treated and sent away. Singh operated the 24-hour Airmax Vulcanising and Tyre shop on South Road between Light and Cummings Streets The businessman had recently returned from overseas and his relatives said he did not have any problems with anyone and was not sure why he was killed on Wednesday night last.

Thousands celebrate Mash 2015 …with scintillating costumes and driving rhythms
By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally FROM the wee hours of the morning yesterday thousands gathered in the city to take part in the long awaited Mashramani float parade which burst onto the streets under a partially overcast sky. Fortunately, it did not rain. The costumes were colourful and a cut above those from 2014. The rhythms were driving and pulsating and everyone had a whale of a time. From lower Church Street in Cummingsburg to the National Park at Thomas Lands, Georgetown, thousands of revellers loosened up, threw inhibition to the wind, and got onto, into, and behind the bands to ‘Mash down town’ in inimitable Guyanese style. Costume Bands ‘took to de road’ from 10:00 hrs, each charting the course for hundreds of revellers who proudly displayed uniquely designed costumes in rampant colour and audacious glitter, as they depicted scenarios chosen by individual competing entities but in keeping with this year’s theme, ‘One
People, One Culture, One Celebration.’ Speaking briefly, President Donald Ramotar, as he greeted persons along the route, explained that Mashramani is an important juncture in our national life; it symbolises our freedom and democracy and it represents a call to sustain the national effort that brought about freedom, which is critical in consolidating our democracy, and promoting national unity. Dr Frank Anthony, Minister of Youth Culture and Sport, expressed that there were 27 bands and five truck bands registered to take the streets. He noted that the floats this year all depict the theme. “It is very colourful and bigger this year.” As usual, tens of thousands of residents and visiting Guyanese, as well as tourists, lined the parade route in true picnic style, their attention captivated by the revelry, especially along upper Church Street and on Irving and Vlissengen roads, where the hub of the celebrations took place.

The party trucks attracted a large number of Guyanese this year and they revelled in luxury. The route from Vlissengen Road to the National Park was virtually converted into a gigantic picnic ground, as vendors manning scores of booths offered for sale some of the most delectable cuisine, snacks, beverages of various kinds, games, music, and art and craft. It was fun galore as Guyana, in national solidarity, highlighted her cultural folklore in music and scintillating costumes and dance.

Ali century sets up comfortable England win Scoreboard
England batsman Moeen Ali (L) celebrates 100 runs as he is congratulated by Ian Bell during their Cricket World Cup match against Scotland in Christchurch, yesterday. (Credit: REUTERS/Nigel Marple) CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand - England completed a clinical 119-run victory over Scotland in their cricket World Cup Pool A match at Hagley Oval yesterday to record their first win in the tournament. After they were crushed in their opening games by co-hosts Australia and New Zealand, England posted 303 for eight after being asked to bat then dismissed Scotland for 184 from 47.2 overs on a day which began under dark clouds and concluded in bright sunshine. Moeen Ali (128) produced a stream of delightful drives to reach his second one-day international century and shared a 172-run opening partnership with Ian Bell (54) to give England a grip on that match they never relinquished. Although wickets fell regularly after their departures, captain Eoin Morgan at last found some form to strike 46 with four boundaries and two sixes and guided
his team past the 300 mark. Left-hander Ali was in prime form from the outset, driving the ball fluently through the off-side and punishing any short-pitched deliveries with some booming pulls. He reached his century from 91 deliveries with his fourth six of the innings, lofting off-spinner Majid Haq high over mid-wicket. Bell, who had been content to rotate the strike to give Ali the bowling, fell in the following over when he pushed a simple catch to Kyle Coetzer at cover from the bowling of Richie Berrington. Ali pulled a fifth six into the crowd but then lofted Haq straight to Freddie Coleman at long-on. After the interval, England’s pace attack, which had been slaughtered by New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum in Wellington last Friday, took control. Opener Kyle Coetzer took two boundaries off James Anderson’s opening over and continued to drive

Runs dried up at the other end against disciplined bowling and his dismissal for 71 with 11 boundaries was the beginning of the end. Ali took two for 47 from 10 overs, bowling in tandem with another occasional off-spinner Joe Root, as the wickets fell and the required run rate rose. Finn, who was smashed for 49 from two overs in the humiliating loss to New Zealand last Friday, returned to help clean up the tail. He finished with three for 26 from nine overs.
Guyana Jaguars dent ... From back page
He put on 60 in an unbroken seventh wicket stand with wicketkeeper Anthony Bramble who made 27 not out. Guyana’s victory allowed them to open up a 25-point lead at the top of the standings, with three rounds of the WICB Professional Cricket League remaining. After yesterday’s remarkable win Guyana now sit on 107 points, Barbados Pride on 82 and Windward Volcanoes on 80. Barbados had only themselves to blame, however, flooring a slew of catches which importantly gave chances to Chandrika and Bramble. Left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican finished with two for 74 while off-spinner Ashley Nurse picked up two for 81. Barbados looked in pole position for victory when Cummins claimed Vishaul Singh without adding to his overnight 14, with Guyana still on 41. However, captain Leon Johnson joined Chandrika to add 43 for the second wicket before both perished before lunch, to leave the visitors on 133 for three. Johnson made 14 be-
fore he was lbw to Warrican playing back and Chandrika batted 105 balls in just over 2-1/2 hours at the crease and struck seven fours before falling to a catch at silly point, also off Warrican. Left-handers Deonarine and Chanderpaul then showed their experience, dominating the post-lunch session to turn the game in Guyana’s favour with a fabulous 144-run fourth wicket stand. Deonarine was aggressive and took the attack to the bowlers with seven fours and four sixes off 130 balls while Chanderpaul was also busy in his knock, striking five fours and a six off 92 deliveries. They had steered Guyana to tea at 222 for three but their dismissals in successive overs afterward, opened up the game again. When Chris Barnwell, who was also dropped on six, holed out in the deep off Nurse to leave Guyana 276 for six, Barbados were back in the contest. But Reifer returned to haunt his fellow Barbadians, facing 89 balls in 105 minutes and hitting three fours and a six, to ensure Guyana easily completed victory.

13 OCA players to benefit from training camp in Dubai
By Frederick Halley
TORONTO, Canada – Thirteen young cricketers, under the aegis of the Ontario Cricket Association (OCA), are to benefit from a week-long training camp, set to be held in Dubai in May, compliments of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Global Cricket Academy. The camp, to be conducted by former Pakistan opening batsman Mudassar Nazar, will also comprise three matches at the Dubai Oval. An ebullient OCA president Gulwant Bajwa made the disclosure here last Saturday when the OCA held a press conference at the Spicy Shack Restaurant in Scarborough. According to Bajwa, who was flanked by several of his executives who included Guyanese Bisham Singh (second vice-president, Azad Khan (secretary) and Vish Jadunauth (treasurer/ junior coordinator) as
well as members of his advisory board, the aspiring participants will be involved in a selection camp and the top 13 will be selected based purely on performance. The unique and first-ever training camp of this nature will be offered through the OCA to cricketers under the age of 25 who are the best prospects to represent Canada in the near future. And according to Bajwa, “This could be a once-in-alifetime opportunity for a lot of budding players to train and play at the ICC Oval in Dubai. The camp will focus mainly on improving batting and bowling skills, fielding, physical fitness which includes bio-mechanics, mental preparedness, technical analysis and strategy. The OCA, which was formed in 1949 and incorporated in 1977, is responsible for managing administering, growth and development of cricket in the province of Ontario with

It also aims to foster relationship among its member leagues and invites other nonmember leagues to partner and become members. At Saturday’s press briefing, the OCA noted with much regret that Canada had lost its Associate Member status in the ICC to Affiliate Member, resulting in the country losing One-day International status. It also disclosed that Canada had been relegated to Division Three. In this regard, the OCA has set up what it termed a dynamic advisory board which is being chaired by Khalid Usman.
European clubs still hopeful of 2022 World Cup in May By Brian Homewood
BERNE, (Reuters) - European clubs are still hopeful of persuading football’s world governing body FIFA to stage the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in May rather than in the winter. A FIFA task force, set up to find the best time of year to stage the tournament, meets for the third and final time in Doha today when it is expected to make a recommendation to the FIFA executive committee. On the basis of that recommendation, the final decision on the long-running saga should then be made in Zurich on March 20. After the last task force meeting in November, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said that the January/ February 2022 or November/ December 2022 options were the favourites. However, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said earlier this month that he had received an assurance from FIFA president Sepp Blatter that there would be no overlap with the 2022 Winter Olympics. That would effectively rule out the January/February option, leaving November/ December as the only choice. However, the European Clubs’ Association (ECA) members said they believed that May was still on the table. “Our position remains unchanged really,” an ECA spokesman told Reuters.
According to the terms of the advisory board, for cricket to continue growth in Canada, “It is now imperative that we practise articulate and sound governance to help grow this sport from grassroots and once again make us worthy competitors on the international stage. It has become important for us to have people with a clear vision, great management skills and a thorough knowledge of the game to help us get back to our World Cup status and beyond.” Questioned as to the ongoing strained relationship between the OCA and the governing body of cricket in country, Canada Cricket, Bujwa pointed out that several

attempts were made to mend their differences and his entity even offered to drop a court case but these went unheeded. Bajwa is also urging players not to perceive that they are not eligible to represent Canada if they play cricket that is organised by the OCA. He alluded to the fact that the Charter of Rights gives anyone equal rights to play for Canada and if a player feels he’s not being fairly treated to contact him personally and he will ensure that player is included in trial matches. In thanking those present, including former president Mike Kendall, the OCA said it is looking forward to the continued support throughout the tour and in subsequent activities planned. “The main goal of the OCA has been and will always be to create strong bonds between people and communities, using cricket as a common medium and to bring Canadian cricket back on the world map, one step at a time.”

Hinds wins Forbes Burnham Foundation sponsored two-stage cycle road race TEAM Evolution’s Orville Hinds romped home the winner of the annual Forbes Burnham Foundation-sponsored two-stage cycle road race yesterday, in a time of three hours 45 minutes 54 seconds. The event, which was organised by the Guyana Cycling Federation, started at 08:00hrs from Linden and the first stage which was won by Shaquille Agard, concluded on Homestretch Avenue. Hinds placed a close second in the stage. By virtue of placing second in both the first and second stages and receiving bonus times, Hinds came out the overall winner. Jamal John with an overall time of three hours, 47
minutes 44 seconds won the junior category ahead of Raphael Leung and Jornel Yearwood respectively. The veterans’ category was won by Team Evolution’s Stephen Fernandes in a time of three hours 47 minutes 44 seconds. Second in this category was Jaikarran Sookhai and third was Junior Niles. Agard, Hinds, Paul DeNobrega, Leung, Michael Anthony, Ralu Leal, Geron Williams and Mark Harris all won one prime prize each, while Robin Persaud won two. DeNobrega placed third in the open category, while Christopher Holder finished third in stage two. During the first stage,
Agard, Eastman, Hinds, DeNobrega Anthony and Leung broke from the pack very early in the race and apart from Eastman and Leung, the others were never caught again, but Agard managed to hold off the others to win the stage. After being sent off at Liliendaal for the start of stage two, the bunch stuck together for the entire upward journey to Belfield, but on their way down, they started to split up and Mark Harris jumped the pack at Enmore, but was sucked in by Greaves, Hinds and Holder coming through Plaisance and they stuck together heading to the line when Greaves attacked and no one responded.

Cassie George’s coach Moses Pantlitz LAST Friday Linden’s Cassie George was selected as both the Junior and Senior Sportswoman-ofthe-Year. Two days later George showed why she was considered when she took to the GDF ground for the 800m and 1500m events at a Developmental Meet. With commanding victories in both events; George is right where her coach Moses Pantlitz wants her to be, two weeks out from the CARIFTA Trials at the same venue. “I think as a coach I’m very much overwhelmed because it came as a surprise to me that you know a person at age 16 can win the junior and senior Sportswomanfor-the-Year. As I coach I’m very much proud of her and I know there’s much more in store for her, bigger and better things in the future.” Alika Morgan a few

On March 7-8 at the same venue, George, along with the rest of this country’s juniors will vie for selection to Guyana’s contingent for the CARIFTA Games in April in St Kitts & Nevis. The coach continued, “We’ve been working towards breaking the records at CARIFTA, both the 8 and 15 (800m and 1500m). We had tried it two years before and we’d fallen

George is one of three athletes under Pantlitz he’s confident will make the CARIFTA Games shortlist. The other two are sprinters Compton Caesar and Onassha Rogers, both in the 100 and 200m events. In the meantime their training continues on the Bayrock ground.
THE Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) is set to launch their first Long course swim meet of the year at the National Aquatic Centre at Liliendaal on Saturday, February 28 to March 1 and the Dorado Speed swim Club is hoping to making a clean sweep. According to the club, the meet will also be used as time trial for the up and coming 2015 CARIFTA swim meet which will be held in Barbados in April. “Stephanie Fraser who is an iconic figure when it comes to coaching swimmers in Guyana will send out a group of young and strong swimmers in different age groups hoping to qualify for the CARIFTA Swimming Championships in March,” the club said in a release. Fraser, who is the coach of Olympians Brittany Van Lange and Niles Roberts who swam in 2012 Olympics in London and GASA, said that the National Sports Commission sports personality will be hoping that next Saturday her younger prospects will get the time needed to qualify for the games in the Land of the Flying Fish.

prize while Western Tigers had to settle for runners-up.
According to the organisers, the announcement of the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and other individual awards will be known at the prize-giving ceremony at a later date. In the third place playoff, Fruta Conquerors whipped Pele FC 6-1 to pick up $300 000 while the latter had to settle for $75 000. Played in front of a fairsize crowd, it was 90 minutes of watching Slingerz FC play amongst themselves since Western Tigers were no match for the well-oiled unit. The ‘West Side’ Champions went on the attack from the blast of the first whistle and it paid dividends when Wade scored his third goal of the tournament in just four matches in the 9th minute. Wade, a Dominican na-
tional player on loan from Caledonia AIA, placed a well-timed ball past goalkeeper Derrick Carter after latching onto the ball down the North Road goal between several defenders. The goal by Slingerz’s talisman opened the floodgates as Lawrence made it 2-0 two minutes later while Adams’ 16th minute strike eventually made the eventual winners take a demanding 3-0 lead at the end of the first half. While Western Tigers were able to eventually contain the 2015 Mayor’s Cup champs in the second stanza, it was still a one-sided contest. T h e We s t R u i m veldt-based club had very little chances, but nothing to ‘shout’ about since their runs were thwarted by the Sling-
erz FC defenders. After being taken the distance by Pele in their semifinal, where they were able to win 5-4 on penalty shootout, Slingerz ensured that this time around, a repeat was impossible. Nicknamed ‘FC Hollywood’ because of their star-studded lineup, Slingerz had several chances that would have widened their margin of victory but, goalie Derrick Carter, one of the finest in Guyana was equal to the task. Though holding off an aggressive offensive onslaught by the champs, it was only a matter of time before one of the team’s top goalscorers would get on the sheets as Adams hit two goals in the closing seconds to seal the one-sided win.
Don’t write off Gayle yet, warns skipper Holder CANBERRA, Australia (CMC) – Chris Gayle’s slumping form is not yet a major worry for West Indies captain Jason Holder who believes the talismanic opener will come good soon. The usually prolific lefthander has found himself in a lean patch of form, resulting in just 111 runs from his last seven innings, at an average of nearly 16. He is without a hundred in the last 20 months with just one half-century in the intervening period. Yet, Holder remained confident that the veteran Gayle could fire at any moment during the ICC Cricket World Cup. “Well, every time I see Chris Gayle, I expect to see a positive Chris Gayle,” Holder told media here. “Although he hasn’t been getting runs, we still have a lot of confidence in him.

Obviously he hasn’t yet, but we still have full confidence in him,” Holder pointed out. “And it’s very good to see that he still hasn’t fired and yet we’re still getting 300 runs. I guess when his contribution comes we’ll get somewhere close to 400 hopefully.” Gayle and West Indies will face Zimbabwe in their third game of the World Cup on Tuesday (23:30hrs Monday Eastern Caribbean time), still riding high on the euphoria of their emphatic victory over Pakistan on Saturday. Defending 310 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, West Indies flattened Pakistan for 160 off 39 overs, to claim
a 150-run triumph. At one stage, Pakistan were four wickets down with just one run on the board in the fourth over. Holder believes despite the nature of the performance, West Indies can still improve in several areas. “I think we still have room for improvement. Obviously we can cut out a few of our boundary balls when we bowl,” he noted. “I think if we can get a few more contributions going deeper into the innings in terms of the top order, we can get close to 350 plus, and I think that is not beyond us because of our firepower in the middle and the end.” He added: “I think we still have to improve, too, in our fielding. I think we could be a lot sharper in the field and give a better account of ourselves.”

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Test batsman Narsingh Deonarine, veteran left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul and opener Rajindra Chandrika all stroked enterprising half-centuries to mastermind a successful run chase and fire leaders Guyana Jaguars to a comfortable four-wicket victory over Barbados Pride here yesterday.
