Jagdeo warns:

APNU+AFC Presidential

structure is vintage Burnham Former President Bharrat Jagdeo rallying supporters at Babu John, ahead of the General and Regional Elections on May 11

By Gary Eleazar “WE believe people have to come to the table if they are seeking public office and account for their record and (David) Granger must account for his record to the people of this country.”

This was the position of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, who over the weekend took to the podium at the 2015 Babu John Memorial Service, held in honour of the late Jagans and made no bones about Opposition Leader, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger having to account to the people of Guyana for more than 150 missing high powered weapons.

Jagdeo, addressing the thousands gathered for the annual event, called on the Opposition Leader to appear before the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, since he was a very senior ranking member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) at the time.

He should give account for the weapons that had been issued to the People’s National Congress (PNC) during that era.

MISSING WEAPONS More than 150 high

powered weapons were reportedly transferred to the PNC during the 1970’s and 1980’s but have remained unaccounted for, save for the few that had been recovered during shootouts with bandits.

Jagdeo was adamant too that since Granger was a leading Officer in the GDF at the time Dr. Walter Rodney was killed, he must appear before the Commission to bare his soul on what he knows regarding that tragedy.

SEIZED BALLOT BOXES The former President also demanded that Granger give account for the period when the GDF, of which he was a part, reportedly seized ballot boxes, one of the many mechanisms used by the then administration to rig the General and Regional Elections.

The former President in his clarion call to supporters ahead of the May 11, 2015 General and Regional Elections said that one of the key achievements of the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic is that it has been able to restore pride to the country. “We have restored dignity to people’s lives.”

Pointing to this “crowning

achievement”, Jagdeo told his party’s supporters, “the thing that bothers me is that the same people who had snatched those freedoms from us have come back in new guises; they are here again.”

Jagdeo told those gathered that Granger was a senior Officer in the GDF when the ballot boxes were stolen and when the guns went missing and “he (Granger) is saying I don’t have to account for that that is in the past.”

The former President told supporters to forget about any notion about Granger being new to the fray and said “we believe people have to come to the table if they are seeking public office and account for their record.”

VINTAGE FORBES BURNHAM Jagdeo was adamant that, “Granger must account for his record to the people of this country before he attempts to be their President, because how do we know he is not going to return to that period.”

The former President also dismissed Granger’s proposed economic strategy for Guyana as being “vintage” Forbes Burnham.

“His (Granger) own mindset, his philosophy is dominated by that period of Burnhamism, they gone back to the old Burnham philosophy about three Vice Presidents, a Prime Minister and a President, that is exactly from Burnham era.”

In what could only be construed as a warning to supporters, Jagdeo said that a Granger-led Opposition wants to reinstitute the Guyana National Service (GNS), the now defunct paramilitary organisation.

“They argue that Jagdeo pension will break the treasury but they have five persons now that this nation will have to carry, three Vice Presidents, a Prime Minister and a President and they talk about cutting costs…this is all age-old Burnhamism, vintage Burnhamism,” the former President asserted.

Not wanting to knock the Opposition Leader over his age, Jagdeo told the Babu John gathering, “he (Granger) is getting up there in age and he is stuck in that mindset, the time warp of the 70s and the 80s he draws his inspiration, his philosophy from that period.”

In fact, Jagdeo told those gathered that he was not surprised when Henry Jeffrey, “one of their biggest lovers called his speech at the launch all fluff…it was fluff, more fluff and all about fluff.”

Jagdeo was at the time taking a jab at the recent launch of the A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition.

At the time Granger proposed that the Opposition coalition, if elected, would focus on a number of sectors including ICT, youth and education.

An incensed Jagdeo used the occasion to publicly respond to the Opposition Leader. “If he wants to talk about the same things that he mentioned ICT, etc, I can stand here tonight and speak for four hours on ICT, new frontiers of growth, our plans for the education sector, health care transformation, how we intend to tackle poverty, what we are going to do about sugar in the future, how we are going to ensure that rice farmers can get the price…” at which time he was interrupted by

the deafening applause.

According to Jagdeo, “we can talk about that because we have gone through it, we have lived through it…it is not all easy.”

Jagdeo who served as Executive President from 1999 to 2011, reiterated that running a country is not an easy affair, adding that the only voices out of the Opposition camp speaks to what they are against.

He cited examples of the projects the Opposition have been against and named the Berbice Bridge, the Specialty Hospital, the Amaila Falls Hydro Electric Plant and the Marriott Hotel, among others.

Jagdeo also reported to his party supporters that the political Opposition has taken an adverse stance against both the rice and sugar industries.

“In fact they said they would close the sugar industry, they against every single thing…You do not run countries by being against things,” Jagdeo stated.

According to the former President, the Opposition has never made public what it stands for, and it has never engaged in a policy debate.

He told the Babu John gathering that the Opposition has been opposed to the development of hydro that can significantly reduce the cost of electricity generation but has offered no alternatives instead.

“How are they going to bring cheaper electricity to the country; what are their plans?” according to Jagdeo, who answered “zero.”

No mischief-making with integrity of electoral process - Rohee urges

THERE must be no attempt, via acts of mischief, to cast doubt on the electoral process, which could result in disruptions; rather there must be transparency and accountability, as well as answers to questions from major stakeholders.

The charge made by General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, at the Babu John memorial for the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan, on Sunday, was met by thunderous cheers of endorsement from thousands.

Transparency and accountability, he stressed, can be supported by public vetting of all polling day staff engaged by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

“We demand public vetting of everyone who is employed to work on Election Day. We must know who they are because the machinery is critical and important for us. The integrity of counting the vote must not be compromised,” Rohee said.

This is not the first time the PPP General Secretary has appealed for public vetting of the Commission’s staff.

Prior to Sunday, he reasoned that the discrepancies during the 2011 General and Regional Elections, relative to unstamped ballots and voters Please see page 3 being misdirected, are what inform the PPP’s position.

- President Ramotar

By Vanessa Narine

WITH pronouncements by the coalition of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Alliance For Change (AFC) on issues of national unity, incumbent Head of State, Donald Ramotar charged that mere lip service and history matched against consistent positions and action finds one on the wrong end of the scale.

“While the other parties pay lip service to multi-ethnic and multi-cultural polices, we (the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic) in reality work constantly to ensure that,” he said to Christopher Holder, the host in an interview on Sunday with the Berbice-based National Communications Network (NCN).

ONLY NATIONAL PARTY The President stressed that the PPP/C is the only national party that is truly representative of all of Guyana and the Guyanese society.

The alliance, on the other hand, according to him, has advanced actions and comments that promote the politics of division.

Mr. Ramotar explained that the Opposition has talked about staying off the path of ethnic-politics, when their analyses of the ‘on the ground’ sentiments are premised on a root of assessing the ethnic base among the electorate.

“Nagamootoo has already

said that he will deliver 11 per cent of Indian votes,” he said.

The PPP/C on the other hand, the President said, has delivered policies, programmes and legislative action that are national in character.

“We never allowed ourselves to fall into a mould of being a party of one group of people…we always had national policies, national in character, we have been making national appeals…it is now beginning to show that we are crossing a lot of barriers in that regard,” he said.

This, Mr. Ramotar declared, was highlighted by the massive turnout of thousands on Sunday at Babu John, Port Mourant, in Region 6 (East Berbice/Corentyne), for the memorial of founder of the incumbent Party and former President, Dr. Cheddi Jagan.

He said, “I was extremely impressed because it reflects the growing political awareness of the people of our country…it was the biggest turnout since Dr. Cheddi Jagan passed away.

It reflected clearly that there is a growing awareness of what is happening in our country, they understand what is taking place.

That is significant.”

A growing awareness, the President noted, is fuelled by the fact that the May 11 General and Regional Elections are a mere two months away.

He added that the turnout reflects the fact that Dr. Cheddi Jagan’s influence, life

and works could still capture the masses. “Many people are aware of the tremendous role of Dr. Jagan in our country.”

“Many persons were frustrated to the point that they decided not to cast their ballots and returned home. GECOM must ensure that if Information Clerks will be employed this time around they are carefully selected and properly trained to function in a neutral manner in the execution of their duties at polling places,” he had said.

GECOM’s senior officials have since expressed confidence in their undertakings, relative to the electoral process, and in the Commission’s ability to conduct free and fair elections.

SIGNIFICANT POLL Additionally, in what has been dubbed as the most significant poll in Guyana’s political history, the PPP General Secretary, on Sunday, also called for the results of the elections to be declared “as soon as possible”

by GECOM. “There must be no disruption or shedding of doubt about the outcome of the elections in the country. There must be no violence if the PPP wins this election,” the PPP General Secretary stressed.

President Donald Ramotar addresses the Babu John rally on Sunday SUPPORT BASE This recognition has extended to the current Administration’s commitment to the Guyanese people, Mr. Ramotar said.

According to him, this commitment has allowed the PPP/C to regain ground lost in the 2011 elections, particularly in the Berbice area, which is a stronghold of the Party.

“They have seen that we are committed…they have seen our commitment here and elsewhere,” he said.

The President noted too that the people have rec-

“They recognised that the

On that note, he appealed to supporters to recognise the importance of the upcoming elections and turn out to vote.

“Every vote counts,” Rohee appealed.

He questioned why the Guyanese people would sacrifice progress for “backwardness”, a secure future for an insecure one; stability for instability; a government that builds, for a government that breaks; or a strong government for a weak one.

GOOD OVER BAD “We have to fight to ensure that we win.

This election is about good over bad,” the PPP General Secretary said.

He declared that the truth and reality is that Guyana’s progress “hurts” the Opposition, but the incumbent Party has not “lost its sting.”

“We must work and work and work as hard as we can to bring out everyone and keep the spirit of Cheddi Jagan. We must work hard to ensure that what we worked hard for is not lost,” Rohee urged.

The upcoming General and Regional Elections are a mere two months away May 11. (Vanessa Narine)

M r. R a m o t a r s a i d , “AFC promised 20 per cent increase…a year later they

best days for sugar are still ahead.”

He explained that the industry was faced by difficulties following the loss of a major preferential market and so investments were made to sustain the industry.

While the Head of State

acknowledged that the returns on the investments made were not what was expected, change will take time.

“We are confident in the investments we made,” he said.

Mr. Ramotar expressed confidence in the fact that the efforts made to regain lost supporters has met with success.

“I believe our sugar workers have seen our commitment to them and seen that the Opposition promises things that are designed, fundamentally, to deceive,” he said.

On that note, he stressed that the cause of the Government and the interests of the people are one and the same, and in addition to the guidance provided by Dr. Jagan’s vision, the PPP/C will continue to advance the nation’s development - when the people return them with a mandate to do so, come May 11.

“We cannot afford that this time. You have seen what has happened in the last three years…you have seen all the efforts we have been making,” Mr. Ramotar said.

Putin reveals secrets of Russia’s Crimea takeover plot

Mr Putin celebrated Victory Day last year with a military parade in Sevastopol

(BBC News) VLADIMIR PUTIN has admitted for the first time that the plan to annex Crimea was ordered weeks before the referendum on self-determination.

Crimea was formally absorbed into Russia on 18 March, to international condemnation, after unidentified gunmen took over the peninsula.

Mr Putin said on TV he had ordered work on “returning Crimea” to begin at an all-night meeting on 22 February.

The meeting was called after Ukrainian President

Viktor Yanukovych was ousted.

Speaking last year, Mr Putin had said only that he took his final decision about Crimea after secret, undated opinion polls showed 80% of Crimeans favoured joining Russia.

The findings of these polls were borne out by the outcome of the referendum on 16 March, he told Russian state TV last April.

Speaking in a forthcoming Russian TV documentary, Mr Putin said a meeting with officials had been held on 22-23 February to plan the rescue of Ukraine’s deposed

president.

“I invited the leaders of our special services and the defence ministry to the Kremlin and set them the task of saving the life of the president of Ukraine, who would simply have been liquidated,” he said.

“We finished about seven in the morning. When we were parting, I told all my colleagues, ‘We are forced to begin the work to bring Crimea back into Russia’.”

The trailer for The Path To The Motherland was broadcast on Sunday night with no release date announced.

On 27 February, unidentified armed men seized the local parliament and local government buildings in Crimea, raising the Russian flag.

Among them appeared to be regular soldiers without military insignia, who were dubbed the “little green men”.

Mr Putin subsequently admitted deploying troops on the peninsula to “stand behind Crimea’s self-defence forces”.

Libya violence: Foreign oil workers ‘kidnapped’ (BBC News) ISLAMIC STATE (IS) militants are said to have kidnapped nine foreign oil workers in a raid in Libya, when they reportedly beheaded eight guards.

Four Filipinos, an Austrian, a Bangladeshi, a Czech and a Ghanaian were taken with an unidentified ninth foreigner, Austrian officials say.

The foreign ministry in Vienna said IS had attacked the al-Ghani oil field.

A Libyan army spokesman told the BBC the field 700km (440 miles) south-east of Tripoli had been attacked on Friday.

One oil worker died of a heart attack after seeing the beheadings, he added.

The foreigners were working for oilfield management company Value Added Oilfield Services (VAOS) at the field.

VAOS said it did not

know which militants had carried out the attack or where the oil workers had been taken.

It insisted that none of its employees had “died or were physically harmed in the attack”.

Confirming that four of the missing workers were their nationals, the Philippines said it brought to seven the number of Filipinos now missing in Libya.

A spokesman for Libya’s National Oil Corporation, Mohamed Al-Harari, told the BBC he could not confirm the abduction of foreign oil workers.

However, he added that local oil workers at the field had been held for two hours before being released.

“These oil workers have said that the gunmen kidnapped a number of foreigners,” he said.

Libyan army spokesman

Ahmed al-Mesmari told the BBC he had “no information or verified reports” about the missing foreigners.

Speaking after a string of attacks on fields in recent weeks, he said militants aimed to do maximum damage.

“The attackers don’t want to control the oil fields, that’s not their aim - it seems their aim is to burn, destroy and steal whatever they can,” he told BBC News.

After burning the biggest oil storage tank in the al-Ghani field, they headed for another oil field, al-Zoueitina, but were repelled, he added.

Last week, Islamist militants were reported to be behind an attack on two oil fields in Bahi and Mabruk.

Rival militias have been fighting for control in Libya since Muammar Gaddafi was ousted in 2011.

Chad, Niger soldiers killed as Boko Haram loses Nigerian towns NIAMEY/N’DJAMENA (Reuters) - ABOUT 15 soldiers from Chad and Niger died in fighting to take control of two towns in northern Nigeria from Boko Haram, the first gains against the militants in a joint offensive launched at the weekend, military sources said on Monday.

About 30 Nigerien and Chadian soldiers were wounded in the clashes over Malam Fatouri and Damasak, a day after thousands of troops crossed the border to seize areas held by the Sunni Islamist group, whose insurgency has forced Nigeria to delay an election and neighbors to mobilize their armies.

A Chadian officer, who asked not to be named, said about 10 Chadian soldiers were killed and 20 wounded in fighting for the towns.

Two sources with Niger’s military told Reuters five of its soldiers were killed in the

09/03/2015

clashes.

There was no official comment from the armies of either Chad or Niger.

“We have kicked the enemy out of these areas and they are now under our control,” a Niger military officer said.

The advancing troops had seized large quantities of arms and ammunition as well as vehicles, he said, and were undertaking a clean-up operation in the area. “The troops have taken dozens of Boko Haram elements prisoner,” he added.

Damasak, the town furthest into Nigeria, is 10 km (6 miles) south of the Niger border, where Nigerien and Chadian troops had been massing in recent weeks before the offensive.

A medical source in Diffa, the capital of the Niger region which borders Boko Haram’s heartland in northeastern Nigeria, said 30 wounded soldiers had

0 02 09

been admitted to the town’s hospital.

A second Niger military source said about 300 Boko Haram militants had been killed. There was no official confirmation of the toll and it was not possible to verify the figure.

“We had permission from Nigeria for this action,” the source said.

There was no immediate comment from Nigeria, which has launched its own offensive against the militants. Their gains forced Nigeria to delay elections that were due in February.

Boko Haram’s six-year insurgency, which aims to carve out a caliphate in Nigeria’s northeast, has killed thousands. The group has pledged allegiance to Islamic State, which rules a self-declared caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, according to an audio clip posted online on Saturday.

Colombia landmines: Abusive husband Farc to help army kills wife, self clear minefields Child witnesses parents’ murder/suicide:

The Farc is estimated to have 8,000 fighters, half of the contingent it had in 2001

Colombia’s government a n d F a rc re b e l s h a v e agreed to work together to remove landmines in rural areas of the country where they have fought since the 1960s.

The announcement was made in Cuba, where both sides have been engaged in peace talks for more than two years.

Under the deal, Farc rebels will work alongside members of the military to remove the landmines and other explosive devices.

Colombia is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world.

More than 11,000 people have been injured or killed by landmines in Colombia over the past 15 years.

“The proposal for demining is a first step, but a giant step toward making peace,” said Colombian government chief negotiator Humberto de la Calle.

‘No weapons’ President Juan Manuel Santos welcomed the news, which gives his government’s peace efforts another boost.

“I would like to congratulate our negotiating team and acknowledge what the Farc are doing, because this is bringing us closer to the shared objective of reaching peace in Colombia,” he said.

The demining and decontamination operation will be overseen by experts from Norway, one of the countries that has been facilitating the

peace negotiations.

The Farc members involved in the effort will not wear uniforms or carry weapons, said Mr De la Calle.

The operation was announced in a joint statement in Havana, marking the end of a round of negotiations that focused on the rights of victims.

Farc negotiators have been engaged in peace talks with the Colombian government since November 2012.

They have reached partial agreements on a number of issues, including on the drugs trade, land reform and political participation.

More than 220,000 people are estimated to have died in five decades of conflict.

Psychiatrist worried about ganja decriminalisation (Jamaica Observer) CONSULTANT psychiatrist and University of the West Indies lecturer Dr Winston De La Hay says Jamaica is going down a “slippery path’” with the recent decriminalisation of small amounts of ganja.

According to the doctor, the decriminalisation of marijuana in Jamaica will result in an increase in the number of people getting addicted to the drug and

subsequently lead to an increase in the number of people suffering from mental illness, which he said would put a strain on the health sector.

He said, too, that Jamaica’s move to decriminalise ganja would increase the availability of the drugs and create easy exposure opportunities, especially to young people.

Dr De La Hay, who was addressing Wednesday’s Lions Club of Kingston

luncheon meeting at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston, said that the prevention of substance abuse would also reduce the strain on the country’s justice system.

The psychiatrist pointed out that in 1980 Russia decreased the cost of alcohol, which resulted in an increase in alcohol addiction, and feared that the decriminalisation of marijuana would have a similar effect.

(Trinidad Guardian) AS women across the world Sunday celebrated International Women’s Day, a Marabella family were grief-stricken after the man killed his wife and himself in the presence of their five-year-old daughter. The murder/suicide has left the families of both Jessica Brereton, 34, and Anil Lalmansingh, 41, of South Oropouche, in shock as they were unaware that the couple was in a violent relationship. Lalmansingh shot B re re t o n d e a d b e f o re turning the gun on himself on Saturday night.

Police said around 9 pm, a man was at Princess Margaret Street, San Fernando when he heard several loud explosions. The man saw a little

girl, around five-years-old, running towards him. The child told the man that her parents were dead, police said. He called the police and when they arrived on the scene, the officers found both left side doors of a silver BMW parked at Princess Margaret Street open and the bodies of a man and woman with gunshot wounds inside.

Brereton was slumped in the front passenger seat while Lalmansingh was in the driver ’s seat. Police also recovered a revolver, believed to be the murder weapon, near the gear lever. Both Brereton and Lalmansingh worked at Iere Express Couriers Ltd and had been together for more than two years.

They had no children together, but Brereton had

two children—five-yearold girl and 11-year-old boy—from two previous relationships. Lalmansingh had an 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

At her Seaview Drive, Marabella home Sunday, Brereton’s mother, Veronica Noel, said her daughter broke off the relationship before Christmas, but Lalmansingh would not leave her alone. Noel said she never knew that her daughter was in an abusive relationship until yesterday morning when one of Brereton’s friend told her that Lalmansingh used to beat and verbally abuse Brereton. “We had a close relationship.

She should have told me something,” said Noel.

Make the right decisions on May 11 G U YA N A h a s b e e n plagued by violence that has historically been either orchestrated or driven by the PNC. As the general and regional elections of May 11, 2015, loom nearer, we all pray that this ugly feature that normally accompanies elections in Guyana will no longer rear its ugly head; but the signs are troubling, especially with the inclusion of the AFC within a coalition accord.

One cannot help but recall the role of the AFC leaders in precipitating the

crises catalysed by the Linden and Agricola disturbances and recognise the combined threat posed by this combination of two highly destructive forces in the nation.

The celebrations and toasts to the coalition’s victory herald a frightening scenario, whereby they wrench leadership of this nation – either through the electoral system or by wresting it either by force or trickery.

Cry a river of blood for our country, and for the annihilation of hope for peace

in the nation as headlines scream the death-knell of the nation’s flowers while fountains of champagne celebrate the death of innocents, because man’s inhumanity to man knows no boundaries, nor loyalties to kith, kin, or country; but only to the id and the ego – and the egomaniacs proliferate; and history resounds with the cries of their victims.

But where is the voice of reason? Because that silent voice in nations is as guilty of the blood of the innocents as much as the

Re: ‘90-year-old woman appeals’ GUYANA Water Incorporated (GWI) wishes to correct statements published in the Guyana Chronicle, Sunday March 8 2015, in the article titled ‘90-YearOld woman appeals for help from somebody – anybody!’.

The article indicated that the elderly GWI customer should be exempted from paying for her water service because of her age.

GWI wishes to remind all customers that the Government of Guyana has granted a SUBSIDY for the payment of water service charges for GWI account holders who are old-age pensioners (age 65 and above).

The company wishes to emphasise that the ‘Pensioners’ Subsidy’ is intended for the payment of the pensioner’s water service

charges which, for customers outside of Georgetown, is valued at $8976. If the pensioner’s consumption is more than the subsidy which was granted, the difference must be paid by the pensioner.

Following publication of the article, an investigation

by GWI’s Customer Services Department revealed that the Pensioners’ Subsidy from the Government of Guyana has been consistently applied to the account of Ms. Jasodia Rajja since 2004. This includes the 2015 allocation. The customer ’s consumption in 2015 exceeded that of the allocation and she was required to pay a negligible amount. The customer’s account indicates that she is not the sole occupant of the property. This may have

contributed to the consumption exceeding the Pensioners’ Subsidy.

The company wishes to reiterate its commitment to ensuring that all pensioners receive quality customer service.

Customers with questions about the Pensioners’ Subsidy can contact GWI’s Customer Services Call Centre on 227-8701, 227-8703 or 227-8704.

fingers that pull triggers and the architects who create blueprints for massacre and mayhem in nations.

Evil cannot propagate, perpetuate, nor serve in any way as a catalyst for outcomes of good, for its very definition encapsulates every consequence of destruction, so how could those who plan, propose, and orchestrate the death of Guyana’s peoples be harbingers of anything good for this nation? Which patriotic, caring leader would take his country down this path, which almost oblit-

erated the cohesiveness of Guyana’s nationhood in the ‘60’s and set this nation’s economic and social progress on a downward spiral that graphed this once-prosperous nation on the same level as Haiti?

Guyana is God’s own country, but, as in the Garden of Eden, the devil resides within; and it has its serpentine coils wrapped firmly around this nation, slowly injecting its venomous brew into the national psyche and social structures; because it wants domination and control and

power over God’s creations.

Some, like Eve, are easily seduced by the promises of easy-come prosperity, forgetting that the outcome of that seduction was the loss of Paradise, and that when the PNC controlled Guyana, they transformed this Paradise into a veritable hell. Perhaps the citizenry being seduced by PNC promises crave a return to those days.

So Guyanese need to think carefully and make the right decision when they go to the polls on May 11.

Shell Beach Management Plan completed

By Clifford Stanley A MANAGEMENT Plan for the Shell Beach Protected Area (SBPA), has been completed.

The plan was devised by a team of specialists hired in March 2014 to assist the Protected Areas Commission (PAC) to develop the Management Plan for Shell Beach, and was developed through a highly participatory process involving numerous consultations with 11 Amerindian communities located in and around the protected area; and with Conservation NGOs, the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, and sector agencies in the natural resources sector.

The plan addresses conservation and sustainable resource use; law enforcement, and education and awareness; and promotes infrastructure development within the area.

The Draft Management Plan was made available for public review during the period November/December 2014.

Final comments received were subsequently addressed and incorporated into the document.

The finalised management plan aims to sustain the rich cultural heritage of the beach, which is associated with the location of several Amerindian communities; and to protect and conserve biodiversity, including the largest contiguous remaining area of mangroves.

The finalised plan is available at www. nre.gov.gy

Completion of the plan represents one of the major activities engaged under the German-funded Guyana Protected Areas Systems Project (GPAS) Phase II, which was executed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MNRE) and implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Commissioner of the Protected Areas Commission (PAC), Mr. Damien Fernandes, disclosed that the draft of the plan, which was thoroughly discussed last November, has been concretised and will guide the work of the PAC for the next five years.

THE SBPA Located along the North West Coast of Guyana’s Region 1, and stretching for over 120 kilometres of beach and mudflats, the SBPA was designated a protected area with the passage of the Protected Areas Act of 2011.

The beach was identified as a priority site for conservation for the four species of marine turtles that nest there and are currently listed as endangered, namely: the Leatherback, Olive Ridley, Hawksbill and Green turtle, and also for its other rich fauna and flora present.

The largest intact stand of mangroves in Guyana is found along this beach another reason for conservation, given the important benefits these ecosystems provide.

President explains Queen’s College mounts portrait of rationale behind priority projects Dr. Cheddi Jagan AHEAD OF PPP/C

MANIFESTO LAUNCH…

By Vanessa Narine

Mr. Hydar Ally (first from left) and Dr. Dion Fries hand over the portrait of Dr. Cheddi Jagan to students and officials of Queen’s College

By Navendra Seoraj MEMBERS of the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre (CJRC) yesterday mounted a portrait of the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan at Queen’s College, in remembrance of the works and achievements of this late great son of the soil and former president of the country in a month which is of great significance to the people of Guyana.

Speaking at the attendant ceremony, Chairman of the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre, Mr. Hydar Ally, un-

derscored that March is a very significant month in the country’s calendar because it is the month in which Dr. Jagan both came into the world and departed this life.

“Therefore it is a good occasion to mount a portrait of him at the school which he once attended some time ago,” Mr. Ally remarked.

Thanking the Board and Management of Queen’s College for allowing the portrait to be mounted, Ally highlighted that similar such exercises were recently done at the two primary schools which Dr. Jagan had attended

in Berbice.

In brief remarks at the ceremony yesterday, Dr. Dion Fries, member of the Board of Directors of the CJRS and niece of the late Dr. Jagan, disclosed that the exercise is timely because it gives opportunity to portray the greatness of Dr. Jagan.

Emphasising the importance of education in one’s life, Dr. Fries detailed how it played a pivotal role in Dr. Jagan’s life, and said that were it not for his being educated, Dr. Jagan could not have achieved the things he had achieved.

INSIGHTS into the priorities of the incumbent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) were given by no other than their Presidential Candidate, Donald Ramotar, who explained the rationale behind his ideas.

“There is great scope f o r G u y a n a ’s d e v e l o p ment,” he said, during an interview with Christopher Holder on ‘In Perspective’, broadcast on the Berbice-based National Communications Network (NCN).

The incumbent Head of State explained that for Guyana to advance, the necessary infrastructure has to be put in place.

ADVANCES Listed among the infrastructural advances envisioned are: a deep water harbour in the Berbice River, which can morph into a maritime hub linking South America and the Caribbean; a diversified agricultural sector that sees the development of a coconut industry, which can be as big as sugar and rice; the introduction of new crop lines, including soya and corn; and cheap energy to bolster the local processing and manufacturing sector.

“We have to put in infrastructure, as well as policy initiatives to encour-

age investments,” he said, adding that quintessential to these undertakings is the modernisation of the education sector.

“We have to ensure that the education sector is developed so it matches our developmental needs,” Mr. Ramotar said.

Continued focus on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) will also assist in the effort.

“For example we already have Qualfon building its new campus, which will employ between 4,000 and 6,000 people,” the President said.

CYLCE OF PROGRESS M r. R a m o t a r u n d e rscored the fact that his Administration has advanced initiatives that reflect a consistency in the development thrust of the nation.

This development thrust, he explained, contributes to the generation of wealth in the economy, which benefits the Guyanese people, and, by extension, economic growth in the country – a cycle of progress.

Questioned about the ‘trickle down’ effect of this progress, he stated that there are both direct and indirect benefits – with more in store for the future.

In the last years there has been an increase in the income-tax threshold,

cuts in corporation tax, increase in minimum wages and support for the elderly, improving what is offered via the non-contributory pension scheme.

NON-WAGE BENEFITS On the other hand, in indirect ways, Mr. Ramotar explained, there have been developments in the area of “non-wage” benefits.

He referred to the offer of text books, uniform assistance, a hot-meals programme, the $10,000 cash grant initiative for each public school student and the building of dorms to accommodate students in hinterland areas, among other undertakings in its social programmes.

“We have done a lot directly and indirectly to improve lives, until we can do more,” he said.

To do more, Guyana needs the investments of transformational projects, like the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) modernisation project, which is also included in the Party’s list of priorities.

“We have gone a far way…we must continue to position our people better,” the President stressed.

With the upcoming General and Regional Elections on May 11, only eight weeks away, the ruling Party is expected to launch its manifesto soon.

Woman gets 56 months, $11M fine COCAINE IN BOULANGER...

THIRTY-NINE-YEAROLD Banmattie ‘Lalita’ Persaud of Lot 460 Grass Field, Lusignan, East Coast Demerara was found guilty by Magistrate Judy Latchman of trafficking cocaine in boulangers (egg plant), and was accordingly sentenced to 56 months’ imprisonment and fined more than $11M. During the ruling, the magistrate told Persaud she believed Persaud had physical control of the substance and had every opportunity to discover cocaine in the vegetable. The court also found that she had intention of trafficking the illicit drug out of Guyana, hence her being found guilty.

Represented by Attorney-at-law Mr. Motie Singh, Persaud had chosen to give

sworn statements and had declined to call a witness on her behalf.

She claimed she was being set up by a person with whom she had shared a relationship and by that person’s friend.

Asked by the magistrate if she had anything to say, Persaud responded by denying any knowledge of the cocaine in the boulanger, vowing that had she been aware of its existence, she would have had nothing to do with the vegetables.

Before handing down the jail term, Magistrate Latchman took into consideration all the mitigating factors, quantum of the drug, the method used to conceal the substance, and the need to discourage others from contemplating committing

similar offences. She also took into consideration that Persaud had been incarcerated since 2013.

The prosecution’s facts are that Persaud has been engaged in shipping vegetables and fruits to Canada for some time, using a particular licensed exporter.

The arrangements ceased and the shipper went out of business for some time because of financial problems.

He informed Persaud of his difficulties, and she assisted him to get on his feet again.

As a result, the business recommenced, and during the month of November 2013, Persaud made arrangements with the shipper to export vegetables to Canada.

She asked him to uplift some of those vegetables, which included squash, at the Bour-

da Market.

Meanwhile, she acquired vegetables from East Coast Demerara and Berbice, including boulanger, and the shipper took what he had and they put together everything to ship to Canada.

Armed motorcycle bandit, accomplice rob businessman of $2.5M at fuel depot

By Leroy Smith

BUSINESSMAN Jaiprakesh Katwaru, fuel station operator on the West Bank of Demerara, was preparing to transact business with Guyoil at its Distribution Depot on the East Bank Demerara Public Road yesterday; but as soon as he stopped his truck and attempted to disembark, a lone gunman walked up to its door, placed a gun against his belly, and demanded his bag containing $2.7 million in cash.

Katwaru said he had 2.7 million in the bag, but while he was handing over the bag to the bandit, two hundred thousand dollars fell out, thus the bandit made good his escape with only 2.5 million.

The bandit quickly joined

an accomplice on a waiting motorcycle and they made good their escape.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle yesterday afternoon at his home, the businessman said a report was made at the Providence Police Station and ranks accompanied him back to the scene of the attack, where the bandit had left a helmet.

The police have, however, told him that it may be a bit difficult for them to lift prints from the helmet, since because the helmet had been left in the rain, the possibility exists that the prints had been completely removed.

Katwaru disclosed that this is the fourth instance that he has been robbed since entering the petrol business.

He was, nevertheless, thankful that, in each instance of being robbed, his life has been spared.

He expressed dissatisfaction at the way the East Bank management of the fuel company treated with the matter, which according to him and other relatives was not as if his loss was affecting the company.

He described as very nonsensical Guyoil’s policy of not allowing businessmen desirous of transacting business immediate entry into the compound, despite management knowing that they often have millions in cash on their persons.

He suggested that the company arrive at some arrangement to facilitate fuel retailers entry into the compound either on foot or with their vehicles, so that they can go into the finance department and make their payments and then be allowed to return to their vehicles without that amount of cash

The businessman was exiting this fuel truck when he was robbed of the cash

on them.

The system that obtains mandates retailers to sit in their vehicles with millions of dollars on their persons, which they are able to relieve themselves of only when they enter the compound

with their trucks to fuel up.

There are at present no cameras mounted outside of the depot which could cover the area where retailers park their trucks. That is because the fuel station which once stood at the front of

the depot is presently under renovation, hence the cameras which were once present have been removed to facilitate work in that respect.

The police are continuing their investigations into the matter.

noted that the Government has been working diligently to secure new markets for farmers in light of record-breaking production in recent years.

my disclosed to the Guyana Chronicle.

Guyana and Venezuela have had friendly relations for several years, and Venezuela is a major importer of Guyana’s rice, which it has been buying at preferential prices since the signing of an agreement in 2009.

The rice deal was first initiated by former President Bharrat Jagdeo with his then Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez, now deceased, at a United Nations Climate Change meeting in New York at that time.

“We are thrilled that Venezuela continues to be a vital part of our rice industry,” Dr. Ramsammy said.

Government is also close to securing a sizable market on the African continent, as negotiations are currently underway for the supply of more than 70,000 tonnes of rice to add to the other destinations such as Haiti, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Panama, Belize, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.

Last year, rice production was pegged at 635,000 tonnes, with more than 500,000 tonnes being exported to overseas markets.

Rice export last year

increased by more than 105,000 tonnes, or more than 25 per cent over 2013 export, although export in 2013 was some 20 per cent higher than the previous year.

“Guyana has increased its export between 1990 and now by more than 1,000 per cent,” the Agriculture Minister said.

Rahman had also alleged that rice farmers in Berbice and on the Essequibo Coast are still owed a huge amount of money from the previous crop; but Minister Ramsammy pointed out that, in 2014, a revolving fund facility of almost $5 billion had been set up to reduce waiting time.

The industry, in 2014, produced paddy worth more than $44 billion, of which more than $43 billion had been paid out to the farmers by millers.

According to figures provided by Dr. Ramsammy, an amount of less than one per cent of that sum is presently outstanding to the farmers, and Government has been working to ensure that this is fully paid off before harvesting of the first crop of 2015 begins.

Seeraj warns of mischief-makers in the rice industry – says Govt has gone beyond the extra mile to help farmers

By Tajeram Mohabir

GENERAL Secretary of the Rice Producers Association (RPA), Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj, is urging rice farmers to be on the alert and ready to confront Opposition political elements bent on stirring up strife in the rice sector during this critical time of the country’s history, when general and regional educations are due to be held on May 11.

Seeraj said that two APNU+AFC officials have recently been active in the rice growing areas of the country, trying to convince farmers that the rice industry is in crisis.

Acknowledging that the rice industry has its imperfections, Seeraj is nevertheless warning farmers that the two elements --Messrs Jinnah Rahman and Turhane Doerga -- are politicians who are seeking the support of rice farmers but do not have their interest at heart.

These persons, Seeraj said, should not be trusted, as they do not have any proven track record that indicates expertise or management capability in the

local rice sector. Seeraj is contending that the truth is quite contrary to the image these persons propagate of themselves.

The duo in question recently told media operatives that the rice industry is suffering. They claim, among other things, that 100,000 tonnes of paddy from the last crop are still in rice silos around the country, and there is no market to dispose of this surplus.

“In the next three weeks, more than 400,000 tonnes of paddy will be harvested, and no arrangements have been

made to find markets for this new intake,” the bad-news duo had said.

However, Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy has said that stocks at the silos have been depleted by a shipment of 40,000 tonnes in January and 35,000 tonnes in February; and this month, some 40,000 tonnes, the remaining amounts of rice and paddy from 2014, would be fully depleted meeting local demands.

Minister Ramsammy has posited that the two bad-news individuals are on “a political gallivant”. He

DOING MORE Although the rice sector is 100 per cent private sector-driven, the Government, in a bid to help farmers, has been performing a stellar role as facilitator in the industry, and has, in fact, taken the lead in finding news markets for them. Deals have been secured with Venezuela and Panama, and agreements are in process of being finalised with several African nations.

Venezuelan authorities have, a few days ago, confirmed their continuing trade relations with Guyana via an agreement that was inked to facilitate shipments of close to 200,000 tonnes of rice and paddy.

“My team and I have had intensive discussions with our colleagues in Caracas, and have agreed on the terms for shipment of rice to Venezuela; with shipment to coincide with the beginning of the harvesting of the first crop of 2015,” Dr. Ramsam-

Selman: Opposition deliberately sabotaging Guyana

By Raymon Cummings CONFIRMING the statements of members of the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) that the Opposition was deliberately sabotaging Guyana’s development, former Member of Parliament for A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Africo Selman told of the difficulties she encountered while trying to support funding for the University of Guyana.

In an explosive interview on local radio hosted by Christopher Chapwanya on his programme ‘Hard Talk’ aired over last weekend, Selman told tales of abuse and confusion as the Opposition deliberately set out to sabotage Government’s development efforts.

Expressing the view that the APNU was undemocratic in nature, Selman said that she was trying to persuade the Opposition to support the allocations so that students at the University would not suffer because of the budget cuts.

“I was disenchanted when the student loan came up (for vote in the 2014 budget) as one of the bulk items and because the Opposition believed that it would benefit the Government… we should not support it. For me that was a no no. Were I the leader, I would have supported that one because many persons are beneficiaries of the loans.

I myself benefited from the loans and I said it to them but they said no, no, the Government will use some of this money for the campaign so we just

have to cut it,” she said.

The Opposition with its one-seat majority in the National Assembly cut some $37.5B from the 2014 National

development. She said that even though there are the relevant incentives, she feels that the Opposition uses fear to keep them away from Guyana.

“I believe that persons with skills should return to build Guyana, she told the programme host. And questioned on whether the incentives presently offered are adequate to attract the persons with the skills, she said, “I think they are but the image being portrayed by Guyanese themselves make persons hesitant.”

She explained that “when leaders are going to get up and say Guyana is pervaded by crime and insecurity … persons will not be willing to return to Guyana. If there is an environment of insecurity people will not want to come back.” Questioned further whether she was referring to the APNU, she said “yes and also the AFC.” PNC AND APNU

Africo Selman Budget. This resulted in a number of projects being stymied and delayed for want of funds.

FEAR Selman further pointed to the attitude with regards to persons who are willing to return to Guyana to aid in its

The former Opposition MP also reminded that the APNU is just a rebranded PNC as the main players are all from that party. “They do not only control most of the support as they say, but their actions should tell you that the PNC and APNU are the same. Granger became the leader of the PNC and the APNU and that should tell you they are the same,” she said.

Selman urged Guyanese to not be deceived by the recently formed alliance as that may suffer the same fate of the PNC/UF alliance in 1964.

Former MP Africo Selman feared for herself, family - had she voted against Opposition motion

By Raymon Cummings IN a startling revelation to the nation during an interview over the last weekend on the radio programme ‘Hard Talk’, Africo Selman, who served as an Opposition Member of Parliament from 2006, first representing the People’s National Congress (PNC) and then with the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), expressed the fear she felt for her physical safety and that of her family while being a sitting Parliamentarian for the Opposition had she failed to vote along the party line.

Responding to a question from the host on whether her decision to resign from the party was as a result of her being offered a diplomatic posting, she said, “No, I would like to refute that… there was also talk that I was one of the persons offered some $50M. I had no clue of how much money was offered but I would not have accepted because of my safety and the safety of my family

and I would not have jeopardised anyone’s safety in the interest of money.”

Leader of the Alliance For Change Khemraj Ramjattan, after submitting the No-Confidence motion to the National Assembly last year, had publicly accused other Opposition members of being in collusion with the Government who, he claimed, had paid three Opposition members millions of dollars to vote against the motion.

Questioned what she meant by her safety, Selman explained, “That No-Confidence motion, persons throughout the length and breadth of Guyana, supporters of the AFC and the APNU they wanted that, and I don’t know how many irrational persons they are, and how they would react. And if someone had dared to go against that motion you would be creating a risk for yourself.”

28-YEAR REIGN OF PNC This revelation by a sitting Member of Parliament is reminiscent of the fear ordinary Guyanese felt during the 28-

year reign of the PNC. That era as is being revealed in the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry saw persons, especially politicians, with opposing views being intimidated and killed.

Selman also described the APNU partnership as a farce as it is dominated by a few PNC leaders whom she described as undemocratic and abusive.

She further named Desmond Trotman from the Working People’s Alliance as one of the persons who has suffered because of the undemocratic behaviour and the leadership of ignoring the abuses meted out to the young people in the party, naming Renita Williams and herself as victims.

Selman said that her resignation resulted from a personal decision she made in December 2014 when it was written. She assured that she had no offer from the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and is mulling her political future as she will be perusing the manifesto of the party before determining her next move.

Laser treatment for glaucoma introduced at GPHC

- as the world celebrates World Glaucoma Week 2015

By Navendra Seoraj WORLD Glaucoma Week 2015 is being observed from March 8 to 14, and in honour of this occasion, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has, for the first time in Guyana, introduced laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma by a procedure called Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

This signal achievement is being offered at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) which, for the past 4 years, has been providing an enhanced glaucoma service at the Eye Clinic since the addition of Glaucoma Specialist, Dr. Shailendra Sugrim – the first Guyanese ophthalmologist to be specialised in glaucoma treatment.

A GPHC release has said that, in Guyanese patients, open-angle glaucoma is the most prevalent form of glaucoma. Patients of Afro-Guyanese origin are more prone to develop open-angle glaucoma, and are more likely to have family members suffering from glaucoma.

It has also been found that glaucoma in Afro-Guyanese patients is usually very severe and more difficult to treat.

There are many ways to treat open-angle glaucoma.

Over the past years, GPHC patients have been exposed to two common methods of treating glaucoma: by medication (eye drops) or by surgery. With addition of laser treatment, open-angle glaucoma patients will now have a third option for treatment.

Laser treatment for glaucoma is not recommended for all patients; hence patients need to be carefully selected by the Glaucoma Specialist to determine if they meet the criteria for treatment.

Laser treatment is a practical alternative to using drops, and success depends on the patient’s profile and ability to respond to the treatment. Those who do not respond to either eye drops or laser treatment may eventually still need to undergo surgery.

Specialised laser equipment can also treat closed-angle glaucoma, which is another less common form of glaucoma in Guyana. It has already been available in Guyana for quite some time.

The laser machine also has the capability to treat posterior capsular opacity, which occurs in patients who have previously undergone cataract surgery.

This year, in observance of World Glaucoma Week, the GPHC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the Guyana Vision 2020 Committee, Eye Care Guyana, the Guyana Optometrists Association and the ANSA McAL Group of Companies, will be hosting a grand glaucoma screening exercise, dubbed “Check your eyes for Glaucoma”, on Thursday, March 12, at Fogarty’s Ground Floor from 10:00 hrs to 15:00 hrs.

Ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses and optometry students will be present at a booth to screen all members of the general public for glaucoma.

Vision testing, eye pressure testing, and examination of the eye nerve will be done. The Guyana information pamphlet on glaucoma would also be distributed at this location.

The exercise is intended to provide opportunity for members of the public who have never had their eyes checked for glaucoma to do so free of cost.

The hospital offers daily eye clinics on weekdays, and patients there are given eye examinations for the detection of glaucoma. Patients need to be referred to the hospital before they can obtain an appointment for these services. Referrals can be obtained from their general physicians.

DECONSTRUCTING THE OPPOSITION’S AGENDA

Part 2

By Teayken A. Dhigg

An obsession with lies BY now a trend should be emerging with regard to the characteristics of the Opposition.

Very important is how easy what is stated herein can be verified in this modern and technologically savvy Guyana. What Google and Bing may not reveal, a trek to the archives would provide. Of course, the first line of verification is memory. While it may wane with age, it is never wrong.

Using this verification tool, it becomes easy to understand the Opposition’s obsessions, including an ingrained proclivity to peddle lies unabated.

The peddling of lies has been fostered by their cronies in some sections of the media for which sensationalism and vilification are routine. More on the role of these sections of the media later on. The Opposition’s passion to lie can be related from innumerable examples. That said, let’s start with their general thrust during the 2011 elections campaign. Among others, the Opposition (both Parties) vehemently and convincingly articulated that, if elected, they would create more jobs and, by exten-

sion, more opportunities for young people.

It sounded good and must have captured the minds of some, specifically, the minds of unsuspecting young voters. But those who are aware of the Opposition’s craftiness to deceive were unmoved by such pronouncements. Time eventually vindicated them; the unmoved ones that is. The combined one-seat majority they obtained opened wide the curtain that hid the Opposition’s true identity. With an over exuberance of eagerness, they rushed to try and assume executive powers, having the belief that the one-seat majority so empowered!

This opened yet another curtain; one of ignorance with regard to the Constitution. This, of course, closed the curtain of eagerness. That aside, the opening of the new curtain further exemplified their penchant to lie, given that they made their supporters believe that the one-seat majority meant they were in power. Such a deliberate endeavour to mislead one’s own supporters must rank high in the echelons of misinformation. Again, time unmasked the Oppositions’ fixation with falsehoods.

This, unfortunately, was only the beginning of the deception that the Opposition downloaded through the new Parliamentary dispensation.

Just weeks after their ill-informed notion that the one-seat may have elevated them to usurp the functions of the Executive, it slashed billions from the 2012 national budget. This resulted in many projects, including transformative ones such as the Amaila Hydro and the Speciality Hospital, being scuttled. But those were not the only consequences of such cold-hearted actions.

Being blinded by a hunger for power, they removed the Government Information Agency’s (GINA) budgetary allocations, subsidies for the National Communications Network (NCN) and other agencies.

In the case of GINA, which is solely dependent on the allocations for its functions, such cuts placed all the staff at risk of losing their jobs, thereby forcing them on the breadline. The majority of the staff are young people, with many the breadwinner with obligations to financial institutions.

Had it not been for the actions of the Ad-

ministration, through the judicial system, the agency would have been closed and the staff sent home. Herein lies the Opposition’s zeal for deception. Just a mere four months after promising to create and secure jobs for Guyanese, especially young people, they moved effortlessly and deliberately to put jobs at risk and killed projects which would have created hundreds more.

To rub salt in the wounds of the despondent workers, not only at GINA, but from other agencies affected, when asked about putting Guyanese at risk, leading Opposition figures boldly proclaimed it was “collateral damage” and “so what”.

That summed it up; an uncaring attitude through lies. As pointed out earlier, while there are many examples to cite with regard to the Opposition’s lies, this more recent example within the lifespan of our current young generation exposes the deception. If there were doubts, the APNU+AFC alliance currently in place, clears all, for the AFC said it would never, ever, be one with the PNC. “Teacher Percy” sings loudly!

De alliance mathematics ain’t adding up!

DE Potsalt couldn’t mek it to Babu John tribute this year. From all reports, it missed out; big time. Potsalt hear how de alliance tremble and it wasn’t because dem bathe with ice-water. Apparently dem read de papers and see de videos showing de massive crowd. People seh how at least two alliance media man was trying fuh count and send back a message. De message never went because de two man couldn’t finish de counting; too much people! Apparently, dem only know fuh count from one to five hundred fuh dem meetings and even that don’t add up fuh dem.

People seh how over five hundred does be confusing fuh dem count! Potsalt and plenty know how mathematics is hard fuh de Palm Tree party which is now the Hands Up Party which is now de Hand-in-Key Party.

In de days back, when de Palm Tree Party was counting votes after de ballot boxes was arrested and taken elsewhere, one vote fuh dem was equal to 5000. That was de maths.

Dem didn’t only add dem votes, which was lil bit, but dem also add Uncle Cheddi own as dem own. Even though Uncle Dave song, “Is We Own”, didn’t come out then, de Palm Tree Party was using it fuh Uncle Cheddi

Potsalt know that it gat a word fuh that kind of maths; rigging! David was in charge fuh de last congress. Potsalt remember reading how some get lock out de gate pun voting day. Ask Vanessa; she had to wait outside.

Some seh that de mathematics was a weapon, because while “adding” up, shots ring out.

Others seh that was because it just couldn’t

But Potsalt and everybody know that when you adding, it gat to be at least more than one thing (variable) fuh add and that you must get a answer (value). That is basic, but the alliance gat two variables and no value! Dem ain’t put no answer fuh de equation APNU+AFC=! Plenty asking why. Potsalt hear is because dem don’t want to publicly put de answer.

National Youth Council is ‘self-appointed’ - does not represent wide cross-section of nation’s youth

“THE National Youth Council is 'self-appointed' and does not represent the wide cross-section of the nation's youth,” according to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.

The Ministry, in a press statement, has noted the recent statements and actions of a group that refers to itself as “National Youth Council”. It is the ministry’s understanding that this group is made up of seven young persons bearing the names Tiffany Daniels - Peace Corps; Jamal Goodluck, One Laptop per Family Programme; Adrian Alfred; Tricia Teekah Mexico Embassy; Francis Bailey - Graphic Designer; Michael Xavier - Law Student (T & T) and Andrea Bryan-Garner - Youth Media Guyana.

“By referring to themselves as the National Youth

Council this self-appointed group is deliberately trying to create the impression that they are a broad-based representative body. But they are not,” the Ministry stated.

The statement went on to explain that “this body does not represent the majority but rather they represent themselves, they are not democratically elected but rather self-appointed, have no formal constitution nor basic requirements for a properly constituted group.”

Critical elements as these are key criteria for formal registration of a youth group with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. “It is because of these deficiencies that they were unable to get formal registration with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.”

“It is therefore a concern and is somewhat surprising that organisations such as the USAID (United States Agency for International Development), through its LEAD (Leadership and Democracy) Project and CUSO which holds good governance at its fulcrum for accountability and transparency and good organisational management would seek to endorse this group without due diligence,” the statement read.

In fact the Ministry finds this position quite contradictory and ponders the objectives of these agencies in this particular case. “We will urge all concern to be more vigilant with their interactions with this organisation,” the Ministry urges.

“We are happy that GECOM (Guyana Elections

Commission) will like to encourage more first time voters to participate in the elections. We think that this is a laudable initiative.

We hope that GECOM will soon unveil a programme of how it will engage first time voters and not delegate it to

a third party.”

“However if GECOM will like to engage youth stakeholders in the process, then they must do so in an open and transparent manner and not give preference to a particular organisation,” the Ministry

stressed.

In this context, “we hope that GECOM will not confine itself to this self-appointed “National Youth Council” but will engage with the more established youth organisations,” the release added.

Chairman of Evergreen-Paradise NDC dies CHAIRMAN of the Evergreen-Paradise NDC in Region 2, Mr. Ramnauth has died.

According to reports, the Chairman who served the NDC faithfully for some four years died last Tuesday, March 4th after a prolonged illness.

Mr. Ramnauth who lived at Better Success served the NDC as a councillor for several years before his appointment as Chairman in 2011. He was also a member of the People’s Progressive Party.

Residents of Dartmouth, Better Success and other villages within the NDC said Mr. Ramnauth was a very good leader who always listened to people’s concerns and worked in the interest of development.

He was appointed Chairman of the NDC after Mr. Cornel Damon who served as Chairman was elected as a member of the National Assembly.

Water recedes from Black Bush Polder front-lands - but excavators, dragline remain to handle build-up of sediment

ACCUMULATED water in sections of Black Bush Polder front-lands due to heavy rains has receded, but the two excavators and dragline posted there to remedy the situation will remain for another week.

According to Region 6 Chairman, David Armogan, the machines are still required since water in the outfall channel is low, and at this stage sediment from the Atlantic Ocean would build-up at a faster rate.

With water level being low at the Adventure outfall channel, enough water cannot be released

to farmers.

The region is hoping for some heavy downpour so that water in the channel will rise, allowing for a greater discharge to rice farmers in the process of planting.

The Regional Chairman told the Guyana Chronicle that although the water had affected some 20 acres of rice cultivation, he has received no report of losses.

STATE OF ‘BALL FIELD’ In fact, he said, some residents were more worried about the state of the

‘ball field’ at Adventure.

But, he said, the water is also off the field, and residents can resume recreational activities there.

Meanwhile, some of the affected farmers thanked the Region 6 Administration and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) for responding promptly to the flooding.

Heavy rains four days ago flooded sections of Black Bush Polder frontlands, more particularly Adventure, affecting mainly rice cultivation.

According to reports, the situation was caused

by a high tide and heavy showers.

Wordsworth had told the Guyana Chronicle that the channel was recently desilted but high tides had brought in sediment from the ocean.

Contrary to reports, the NDIA CEO explained that there has been no breach in the outfall or overtopping, and though farm lands in low-lying areas were affected, residential areas were not.

Armogan, along with Wordsworth, met with the affected farmers on Saturday, and reported that the meeting was cordial and the farmers accepted their explanation of the

problem.

During the meeting, the farmers reportedly pressed the Regional Chairman and the NDIA CEO to look at the matter with urgency, but praised their efforts in getting the water off their rice lands.

Berbice has been enjoying healthy rice production in recent times.

Production has moved from just above 50,000 acres three years ago to 62,000 acres today, yielding some 34 bags of paddy per acre and 2,289,718 bags of paddy in total.

Clean-up My Country programme in Region 2 boosted with tractors, trailers, metal bins

Minister Whittaker with NDCs and Anna Regina Town Council officials

THE Ministry of Regional Development and Local Government and the Region 2 Administration has handed over four new John Deere 5076 tractors and trailers along with two hundred metal bins to sustain the Clean-up My Country programme in Region 2.

Minister Norman Whittaker handed over the tractors and trailers along with the metal bins last Wednesday in the regional compound at Anna Regina to officials of the Anna Regina

Town Council, Neighborhood Democratic Councils of Good Hope-Pomona, Aberdeen-Zorg -en-Vlugt, Annandale-Riverstown and Charity- Urasara.

The Minister said the equipment was purchased with state funds from the $500M under the ‘Clean-up My Country’ programme.

He noted that the new tractors, trailers and metal bins would fulfill another promise by the PPP/C Government to sustain the Clean-up My Country programme and keep the environment clean

and healthy.

He said in the tenth Parliament a sum of $1B was approved for the Clean-up My Country programme.

According to the Minister part of the programme focused on how the local authorities can be helped to keep the environment clean and build greater capacity to sustain the Clean-up My Country programme.

Minister Whittaker said the activity is about giving NDCs and the Anna Regina Town Council additional resources to sustain the

The four tractors handed over to the NDCs on the Essequibo Coast to sustain the Clean Up My Country programme

programme. He noted that it is a measure of giving support but not to take over responsibilities of NDCs or the Town Council.

The Minister said the issue of accommodation and security for the tractors and trailers are of major importance. He said the equipment was purchased with state resources and so it cannot be allowed to be abused or be parked on the roadside.

Coordinator of the Clean-up My Country programme, Mr. Bramanand

Singh said the handing-over of the tractors, trailers and metal bins along with garbage bags would complement the other side of the programme. He pointed out that the tractors and trailers should not be used for transporting solid waste but for carrying materials for road maintenance work in the respective NDCs. He also advised that the metal bins should be placed at strategic points to strengthen the garbage receptors so as to avoid the unnecessary dumping of

garbage in public places.

Region 2 Chairman, Mr. Parmanand Persaud said there is lot more to be done in the Region in terms of solid waste disposal. He called for a cleaner and healthy environment and for residents to cooperate and keep their surroundings clean. The Chairman also thanked the Government for giving the equipment to sustain the Clean-up My Country programme in Region 2. (Rajendra Prabhulall)

Goldsource preparing to start mining near Mahdia by year-end

By Clifford Stanley CANADIAN mining company, Goldsource Mines Inc., earlier this week announced that it has commenced preparatory construction activities for mining at its Eagle Mountain Gold Project near Mahdia, Region 8 (Potaro/ Siparuni) and was working towards initial staged production by the end of this year.

The Eagle Mountain project has an existing resource of 188,000 ounces, indicated, and 792,000, in-

ferred, gold ounces, with strong potential for expansion, the company disclosed.

The local community of Mahdia is to be its primary source for skilled workers.

The officials have said that with gold price as low as $1,100 per ounce, the project is expected to remain quite profitable with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 49%.

The project is also projected to remain quite profitable with an IRR of 30%, even with an increase in operating costs of more than 30%.

Yannis Tsitos, President and Director of Goldsource Mines Inc. stated: “The commencement of construction activities at Eagle Mountain is a huge milestone for the company and we are very excited at the prospect of Goldsource becoming a low cost gold producer in 2015.”

He disclosed that this stage of the project is regarded as Phase I and has been fully financed.

He said: “The mine area is fully permitted for operations and mine site preparation and processing plant

construction has begun.”

The Phase I development consists of a 1,000 tonnes per day open pit gravity plant for an eight year mine life with estimated pre-production capital costs of US$5.9 million and expected cash operating costs of US$480 per ounce of gold.

N. Eric Fier, Chief Operating Officer stated, “Our development plan for Phase I has started. We are excited about getting boots on the ground for construction as we expect to execute this work on time and on bud-

get. With success of Phase I, we will look at several opportunities to optimise the mine for the benefit of our shareholders. Future expansions are intended to be paid for through operating cash flow.”

The company disclosed that it had purchased a 100 tonnes per hour processing plant from Sepro Mineral Systems Corp., Langley, Vancouver, British Columbia and construction of the said processing plant is currently being done and will be completed by the third quarter of the year ending September 2015.

Procurement of longer lead mining equipment is currently ongoing.

Rehabilitation of the existing 10 kilometre road between Mahdia Town and Eagle Mountain Gold is currently underway.

So also are camp facility rehabilitation and upgrades and recruitment of key operations personnel.

Site preparation of the plant and initial mining area is scheduled for completion by the second quarter of this year, leading to production by the end of the fourth quarter.

South Road Nursery holds annual Commo

By Shirley Thomas AN old adage says: “A child shall lead them”, and that’s precisely what was demonstrated at South Road Nursery School yesterday when the school held its annual Kids’ Display and Exhibition in observance of Commonwealth Day 2015.

Pupils from the school’s 12 classes,

in a splendid and energetic display, staged scholarly and well put-together presentations depicting the culture, economic and geo-political ways of life of 12 of the 53 Commonwealth countries.

The cute and colourfully dressed pupils were show-stoppers, as, brimming with energy, they proudly depicted the cultural wear of the respective member nations of the Commonwealth.

Guests were also delightfully entertained by dance sequences performed by the children, who ‘did their thing’ as they skilfully sought to give the audience a sneak peek at some dances of the individual countries.

Meanwhile, well researched information was presented, using colourful and highly glazed images on posters prepared by the hardworking staff, in

collaboration with headmistress, Ms. Tyefia London and supported by Secretary of the Parent/Teacher Association, Ms. Jewel Bacchus.

The posters highlighted the photographs and names of heads of state; national flags; the countries’ maps; currencies; national wear; national dishes; and key economic activities, among other things – information that primary

school students wou Mouth-watering some of the most po es of the respective on exhibition.

COMMITTED prisoner, Devanand Albert, called Brother, who was scheduled to face a jury trial for his wife’s death, was pronounced dead after he was found motionless in his cell at the New Amsterdam Prison on Sunday night.

Prison officials said the 55-year-old had been diagnosed with a heart condition following his admission to the penal institution on March 10, 2014.

However, during his period of confinement, he had been further diagnosed with tuberculosis. He had been treated by Dr. Arianna Harewood, and was last seen by her on March 2, 2015.

Albert, was a fugitive from justice, following the death of his wife, 43-yearold Esther, known as Kamla, who was manually strangled on March 4, 2010.

Following the woman’s death at her residence, lo-

cated at Bhanjara Sawmill Dam, Grant 1803 Crabwood Creek, Albert fled the country to neighbouring Suriname, where he remained a fugitive until his arrest on March 10, 2014.

Reports had revealed that on the day of his wife’s killing, the now deceased prisoner had returned home with his wife after imbibing alcoholic beverages

on Phagwah day, 2010. An argument ensued, and Esther was slapped and struck with a ‘pointer’ broom.

Devanand Albert’s sister, Shanta Mohan, who resided a house lot away, had told reporters that she did not hear anything unusual.

Meanwhile, one of the couple’s three children revealed that his father may have killed his mother because he was annoyed that she had danced at one Vishal’s house during the Phagwah celebration.

The body is currently at the New Amsterdam Hospital Mortuary.

Devenand Albert was charged with murder on March 10, 2014, after he was nabbed by Suriname officials and handed over to local law enforcement officers. Following a Preliminary Inquiry, he was committed to stand trial at the next sessions of the Berbice Assizes.

not only in the preparation of posters and teaching of dance sequences, but also in sewing of the costumes and ensuring that the children grasped a working knowledge of the subject matter.

Ms. London said the activity is usually held on the second Monday of March – Commonwealth Day, and is undertaken to equip the children from a very early stage with an understanding

of what Commonwealth is all about, and to develop within them an understanding and appreciation of the culture and ways of life of the other member nations.

The Commonwealth of Nations, commonly known as the Commonwealth (formerly the British Commonwealth), is an intergovernmental organisation of 53 members, headed by Her

Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Home to some 2.2 billion citizens, these diverse countries span Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific. All members subscribe to the Commonwealth’s values and principles outlined in The Commonwealth Charter.

Leaders of member countries shape Commonwealth policies and priorities. Every two years, they meet at the

Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to discuss issues affecting the Commonwealth and the wider world.

Regardless of size or economic stature, all members have an equal say in this august organisation, thus ensuring that even the smallest member countries have a voice in shaping the Commonwealth.

Essequibians remember Dr Cheddi Jagan …at wreath-laying ceremony at Anna Regina

By Rajendra Prabhulall Dr. CHEDDI Jagan, father of the nation, founder of the People’s Progressive Party and late Executive President of the Republic of Guyana, was remembered at a moving wreath-laying ceremony at the Cheddi Jagan children’s play park at Anna Regina on Saturday.

Speaking at the memorial ceremony, Chairman of Region 2, Mr. Parmanand Persaud said the life and work of the late great leader must be remembered.

Mr. Persaud said that Dr. Jagan who had Guyana at heart was a humble man who had great visions for the development of the country. He said the great leader can be compared to other great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela because of his humility, great leadership and visions.

Mr. Persaud said the late Jagan in his fight to free Guyana from colonialism formed the Political Af-

when the PPP lost power in 1964 due to a coalition between the PNC and UF, the country entered a dark phase of destruction and rigged elections.

Region 2 Chairman, Parmanand Peraud lays a wreath at the play park

fairs Committee, then the People’s Progressive Party [PPP] and together with his wife, Janet Jagan formed the Women’s Progressive Organisation [WPO].

He said the late leader also brought youths together in Guyana and formed the Progressive Youth Organisation [ WPO].

The Regional Chairman also noted that Cheddi who represented all Guyanese also formed the Rice Producers Association [RPA} to represent farmers’ interest. He said the late leader who was Premier of Guyana during the fifties and early sixties put Guyana on the road of development but

REBUILDING GUYANA FROM 1992 Mr. Persaud said Dr. Cheddi Jagan who fought and struggled in the Opposition for 28 years maintained a powerful party structure and always met with people at the grass root level. He said the PPP/C led by Dr. Jagan won the National and Regional elections on October 5th, 1992 and started to rebuild the country.

He said the great leader took over a country that owed a foreign debt of some US$2.1 billion, had poor roads, food shortages, dilapidated government buildings, blackouts, poor ferry services, a broken rice industry, poor drainage and irrigation, but through his great leadership and visions he rebuilt Guyana.

Mr. Persaud said Dr. Jagan died while rebuilding

the country but his ideas and visions were implemented by other leaders he had trained and today Guyana is on the path of rapid development again.

Chairman of the District PPP committee on the Essequibo Coast, Mr. Basil Bryan Persaud said the name of Cheddi will always be remembered because of his humility and great leadership.

He said Cheddi who was a leader for all the people of Guyana wrote ‘The West

on Trial’ and called on all young people to read the book.

Wreaths were laid at the monument built in memory of Cheddi Jagan

by Region 2 Chairman, Mr. Parmanand Persaud, Vice Chairman Mr. Vishnu Samaroo, Rice Producers Association [RPA], Women’s Progressive Organisation and the Progressive Youth Organisation and the PPP Freedom House office at Anna Regina.

A section of Dr. Miller Street that is being constructed

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday March 10, 2015

Works on Dr. Miller St in BV to be finished by month-end - will improve commute for residents, commercial entities

By Rebecca Ganesh THE Ministry of Housing and Water under the Community Roads Improvement Programme (CRIP) has announced that construction of Dr. Miller Street in Beterverwagting on the East Coast Demerara is expected to be completed by month-end, effectively improving the commute for residents and commercial entities.

According to Karen Roopchand, Project Coordinator of CRIP, works on the road will conclude before the end of March. She explained that the works remaining include “improving the shoulders, de-silting the drains and completing the carriageway.”

Roopchand said that “CRIP is monitoring the project in keeping with the criteria set out in the contract and as per the Bill of Quantities.” She stressed that on completion of Dr Miller Street, residents will benefit a great deal from the all-weather road. “When the road is completed commuters will benefit from an asphaltic concrete surface,” she said.

“Although, the road is in the construction phase, benefits of smoother travel and reduced cost attached to maintenance of vehicles are being felt,” according to Charles Lamb, proprietor of Lamb’s Chowmein during a recent interaction with the Ministry of Housing and Water Community Roads Improvement Programme (CRIP).

According to Lamb, the construction works when completed will be in keeping with the standards of CRIP. “I am confident that the road when completed would be of good standard owing to CRIP’s reputation of delivering quality roads,” he said.

He also explained that even though the roads are not completed thus far, the works completed so far improved the conditions by substantially reducing craters and potholes.

Lamb further stated that the project is good for the community and he is pleased.

The Beterverwagting/Triumph Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC), which is in possession of a copy of the Bill of Quantities, is also monitoring the project closely. Chairman of the NDC, Bruce Adams constantly visits the project site and interacts with residents.

Adams during a recent interview emphasised that the road when completed will be beneficial to the community since it is heavily traversed. He noted that construction of the road needs to be of high quality since a lot of heavy duty vehicles traverse the stretch daily.

The Chairman said that he observed the contractor excavating an old culvert and installing a new one which was necessary to help improve drainage. He would like the project to conclude soon so that residents could begin utilising an enhanced roadway.

High winds affecting some LIAT flights

Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - 05:00 hrs Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 08:30 hrs Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 08:30 hrs

LIAT is advising customers travelling to/from Dominica and/or St. Vincent of the possibility of cancelled flights and delayed baggage due to seasonal high winds in both countries.

The company’s aircraft have tailwind limitations, which are set by the manufacturers during the certification process and they are therefore not permitted to take off or land when the prevailing winds are beyond these limits, a press statement said.

The departure out of E. T. Joshua Airport and the night landings into Douglas-Charles Airport are affected by tailwinds and therefore the decision to cancel flights is taken in the interest of safety.

LIAT is also forced to restrict the number of bags on the aircraft at this time of the year when wind conditions in both Dominica and St. Vincent restrict the takeoff weight of the company’s aircraft.

The current conditions are forecast to continue through to the month of April.

The company’s Reservations and Airport personnel are ready to assist customers who have been affected by cancellations and baggage issues due to airport limitations at this time of the year, the statement added.

Aries Take care that your self-esteem doesn’t depend on what other people tell you. One minute a bit of flattery may send you high as a kite, and the next minute some criticism may have you feeling down in the dumps. Do your best to not let others blow you up and then deflate you as if you’re nothing but a balloon.

Taurus Your self-esteem should be good now. You will find that you can make great strides on long-term projects. This is a good day to put your nose to the grindstone and get to work. There’s an extra bit of productive force in the day that will help you achieve just about anything you set your mind to.

Gemini You may be a bit aggravated today. People seem to be more of a hindrance than a help to you. Don’t be too accusatory until you make sure that you’re operating honestly and productively. You may automatically go into defensive mode and end up accusing someone of the very thing that you’re guilty of.

Cancer You have a unique opportunity to review plans and foundations that you’ve recently put into place. As carpenters say, “Measure twice and cut once.”

This is a key time to review your plans and make sure your structure is secure. If there’s any doubt about what you’ve completed so far, consult someone whose expertise you trust. It may be worth it to start over using a new plan.

Leo Your laziness isn’t making it easy to get out of bed. In fact, all you may want to do today is absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, this may not be possible.

Whether it is or not, you can make the best of this feeling as long as you keep yourself in the right frame of mind. Find the element of fun in everything you do, including your work.

Virgo You may butt heads with someone who’s equally unwilling to budge. Use this conflict as a lesson in perspective. Understand the motivation of the opposite side. The life lesson you may need to learn probably has to do with discipline and the need for honest sweat from your brow. Don’t be afraid to work a little harder than you have been to make your dreams come true.

Libra You may run into roadblocks today, but don’t worry. These are things you are capable of working around. The tricky part of the situation is that none of these blocks is likely to budge, and you may have absolutely no understanding of why they’re there. Try not to take this barricade personally.

Scorpio Your mind is sharp today, and your willingness to work is equally strong. Use this powerful combination of forces to your full advantage. You will find that your brain is like a powerful steel trap. There is very little that will escape your attention. The most important thing for you to remember is to not let other people obstruct your progress.

Sagittarius You may get out of bed with a jolt, indicative of the fact that there are forces prodding you from almost every direction. It may seem like you’re in high demand, so do your best to appease those who need your attention. The key for you is not to get overwhelmed to the point where you can no longer function at all. Go at your own pace and you will meet with tremendous success.

Capricorn It isn’t a good idea to blame your troubles on others. The only one that you really have to blame is you. You will find that your mind is active today and that it might send you around in circles unless you make a conscious effort to slow it down and get it going on the right path. Deal with the facts of the situation instead of the emotions that may arise from it.

Aquarius Today it may seem like you’re trapped in a power struggle that you can’t get out of. The problem is that this struggle may have very little to do with you and your actions. There’s a strong, limiting force that is asking you to slow down. Try your best not to get involved with conflicts that don’t concern you.

Pisces Your solid, grounded, and steady approach may be challenged today.

Someone with a strong ego could punch holes in the plan you’ve so carefully laid out. Try to stick with the facts and do your best not to let this turn into some sort of popularity contest. Be humble and direct. Try not to be too emotional or sensitive.

Guyana’s 15s Rugby team 44th in World Rankings ... Green Machine rank Caribbean’s highest

GUYANA’S 15s Rugby team yesterday, along with Mexico, were the biggest movers on the World Rankings with both countries jumping five places up.

Called the ‘Green Machine’, Guyana, the 2014 North American and Caribbean Rugby Association

Feeble England out of World Cup after defeat by Bangladesh

ADELAIDE, Australia (Reuters) - England were knocked out of the World Cup by a spirited Bangladesh who grabbed a quarter-final spot fol- l o w ing a dramatic 15-run victory in a tight Pool A match in Adelaide yesterday.

Put in to bat, Mahmudullah struck Bangladesh’s first World Cup century and starred in two key partnerships to lift Bangladesh to 275 for seven.

Three-time finalists England made a mess of their chase on an Adelaide Oval track that held no demons and folded for 260 in the penultimate over.

Bangladesh looked a bundle of nerves towards the end but Rubel Hossain (4-53) claimed two wickets in the 49th over to trigger wild celebrations among their fans.

England made a decent start to their chase before losing their way in the crunch match.

Adjudged leg-before-wicket on 11, opener Moeen Ali successfully got the decision overturned but the bearded right-hander was run-out after a mix-up with Ian Bell (63).

Bell, who hit Mashrafe Mortaza for three boundaries in an over, pulled and drove with impunity, adding 54 runs with Alex Hales (27).

Mortaza dismissed Hales but it was Hossain’s double strike in the 27th over that turned the match on its head.

Done in by extra bounce, Bell was caught behind while Eoin Morgan hooked to the fine leg fielder to fall for his fifth duck in last 11 innings.

England’s problems were compounded as James Taylor perished chasing a wide delivery and Joe Root fell for 29.

But Josh Buttler (65) and Chris Woakes (42 not out) injected life into the chase with some lusty hitting before Hossain dismissed Stuart Broad and James Anderson in the 49th over.

POOR START Earlier, Mahmudullah struck Bangladesh’s first

duo mixed caution with aggression to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Mahmudullah looked a bundle of nerves approaching the 100-mark, which he eventually reached in the 44th over, scurrying for a single before embarking on an emotional celebration with Rahim.

He added another three runs before being run-out after a 138-ball knock that included seven fours and two sixes.

Rahim continued punishing the English bowlers, hitting eight boundaries and a six in his 77-ball knock, his third half-century of the tournament.

Mahmudullah’s maiden ton was also the first by a Bangladesh player in World Cups.

World Cup century a n d shared partnerships with Soumya Sarkar (40) and Mushfiquir Rahim (89) to help their side overcome a poor start.

With England needing to win both remaining pool matches to keep their quarter-final hopes alive, Morgan won the toss and decided to field, hoping his bowlers would capitalise on the early morning conditions.

Morgan set attacking field with a three-man slip cordon and Anderson found enough movement to induce two edges in his first seven deliveries, reducing Bangladesh to eight for two.

Mahmudullah initially struggled to find the middle of his bat but grew more confident with every over and added 86 runs with Sarkar to consolidate the innings.

England could not, however, maintain the pressure and Chris Jordan struggled for rhythm and conceded 15 runs in his second over.

Jordan dismissed Sarkar in the 21st over and Moeen sent back Shakib Al Hasan but Mahmudullah and Rahim compiled Bangladesh’s record World Cup stand to thwart England.

Mahmudullah found an able ally in Rahim and the

Sri Lanka through to World Cup quarter-finals ADELAIDE, Australia (Reuters) - Sri Lanka grabbed the last World Cup quarter-final place from Pool A following Bangladesh’s qualification for the last eight yesterday.

Bangladesh stunned England by 15 runs in Adelaide to knock Eoin Morgan’s team out of the tournament and secure their third victory in five matches.

“Bangladesh’s victory means Sri Lanka

have secured the fourth and final spot from Pool A in the last-eight stage of the tournament,” the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.

Tournament hosts New Zealand and Australia, the top two teams in the pool, had already secured their places in the quarterfinals.

In Pool B, only holders India have secured their quarterfinal place so far, winning all four games.

England coach Peter Moores ‘will stay’ - ECB Chief

ENGLAND coach Peter Moores will keep his job despite his side’s World Cup exit at the hands of Bangladesh, says England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Paul Downton.

England lost by 15 runs in a match they had to win to stay in the tournament.

Moores, who is in his second spell in charge of England, wants to stay on as coach but told BBC Sport: “It’s not my decision.”

However, Downton said: “I’ve got full faith in Peter Moores. He will stay.”

He added: “Peter was brought in 10 months ago and part of that reason is because he’s such an experienced coach. Whoever got that job at that time was going to have a difficult time. We’re in a rebuilding phase so today’s the

wrong time to be making any kind of judgement at all.”

Downton, though, admitted the ECB had much to consider: “We’ll sit and review everything when we get back.

“Everything will be reviewed, now’s not the time to be doing it, we’ve got one more game to play, let the dust settle, everyone’s very emotional.”

Ex-England captain Alec Stewart told BBC Radio 5 live: “It hasn’t been 12 hours since England’s exit. I’d much rather people take stock, and look at how we can improve the situation.

“We need to find a method of how we want to play and stick with that. To do anything now within 12 hours is not the way forward. It would be stupid.

“I’m not saying Peter Moores

is the right man or the wrong man, but now is not the time to say ‘on your bike’, it’s time to get plans in place to move forward.”

Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott told BBC Sport that all involved with the England team needed to “look at themselves”.

He added: “Some of the players as individuals have let themselves down, but as a team they have been pretty poor in their thinking and planning.

“We seem to be light years behind other teams in the way we think about one-day cricket.

The game has moved on very quickly and it is very different from even 10 years ago.”

He was also critical of Moores’ focus on data analysis and statistics, and his lack of international playing experience:

Authorities turn a blind eye to doping - UCI boss

Reaction to England’s World Cup exit

By Gerry Mey

AIGLE, Switzerland (Reuters) The International Cycling Uniaon’s president yesterday accused the organisation of turning a blind eye to doping in the past and even letting it spread to protect the sport’s image.

Brian Cookson told Reuters in an interview that the UCI had also covered up Lance Armstrong’s positive tests for drugs in the 1999 Tour de France.

“The UCI was always going to prioritise the image of the sport and the business of the sport over the integrity and the honesty of the sport, and that was a very bad signal that was given out at that time,” he said.

Cookson was speaking at the cycling governing body’s headquarters in Aigle, Switzerland, on the day of the release of a report by the Independent Reform Commission, which was set up last year to look into the sport’s ugly past including the Festina affair and Lance Armstrong doping scandal.

The CIRC report said the-then UCI management had colluded with Armstrong to protect him as the American cheated his way to seven Tour de France titles.

“After the Festina affair in 1998, the 1999 Tour was supposed to be the tour of renewal. In that tour, Lance Armstrong had a positive test for cortisone, which was covered up by the UCI,” Cookson said.

He added that doping in cycling was far from eradicated but an environment now existed “where

riders can now at least be competitive when riding clean”.

The former UCI management’s shortcomings were first exposed in 2012 when the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) published its reasoned decision after banning Armstrong, who later admitted to cheating, for doping.

Cookson took over as UCI president in 2013 with a mission to clean up the badly-tainted sport.

The CIRC report said: “UCI exempted Lance Armstrong from rules, failed to targettest him despite the suspicions, and publicly supported him against allegations of doping.”

There was, however, no evidence of outright corruption in the report.

“I’m happy that it reports that there was no corruption and no complicity in relation to doping and that, for me, is very important,” Pat McQuaid, from whom Cookson took over the

Peter Moores “I watch the game because I’ve played, man, but it’s a bigger picture than that.”

I don’t need a computer.

He said England’s one-day form “He doesn’t have that experience.

I don’t say it’s impossible to coach if has not been good “for a while” and you’re not a former player. You don’t insisted there was a lack of top talent.

“The reality is we’re not overloaded have to be a former player but it sure with a lot of high-class one-day as hell does help.”

Moores said he felt “hollow inside” players,” he said.

“It’s something we have to look and “hugely disappointed” following at. It’s not to be done now. Today is England’s demise.

“It’s not my decision if I’m given about the emotion of the day for me. time,” he added. “I understand why We’re out of the tournament.” (BBC people would think I’m not the right Sport)

presidency, told Reuters.

M c Q u a i d ’ s predecessor, Hein Verbruggen, said that the CIRC’s main criticism was that the policies put in place to combat doping during his presidency were inadequate.

“That is a rather cheap shot from people who today have the benefit of 25 years of hindsight,” Verbruggen said in a statement to Reuters.

The CIRC interviewed 174 officials, team managers, riders and former riders over the course of an investigation that lasted over a year.

It found that doping was less prevalent but still endemic.

Armstrong himself was interviewed twice by the commission.

“I am deeply sorry for many things I have done,” Armstrong said in a statement.

“However, it is my hope that revealing the truth will lead to a bright, dope-free future for the sport I love.”

LONDON, England (Reuters) Reaction to England being knocked out of the World Cup following defeat by Bangladesh yesterday.

England captain Eoin Morgan: “To lose three wickets in four overs or something, and two wickets in one over, does not help the cause.

“I’m extremely disappointed because within the group there was a lot of belief and expectation to go further than this.”

Former England captain Andrew Strauss: “The truth is we are not good enough. From 1 to 11 we haven’t got the players who can compete with the top teams. We couldn’t compete with Bangladesh and we certainly can’t compete with Australia and South Africa.

“We have been poor for 20 years in oneday cricket and we will be poor for another 20 years unless we change the way we play our domestic one-day cricket.”

Former England captain Michael Atherton: “It’s a very sad evening here in Adelaide, and you feel for the players who are playing so far below their potential, and that’s a sad state of affairs.

“You have to go back to before the tournament began. England had a dreadful 2014 and came into this tournament on a terrible streak of bad form.

“They sacked their captain on the eve of the tournament, made critical changes for the first game of the tournament and they moved heaven and earth to try and get the preparation right for the World Cup. “They moved The Ashes for heaven’s sake so we have had 10 back-to-back Ashes Test matches so they have given every opportunity to plan for the tournament but they have made a bit of a Horlicks of it and the chickens have come home to roost tonight.”

Former England captain Nasser Hussain: “The planning here has been poor and that needs to be looked at. Do we view it as important as Test match cricket?

“Would we, before the first Ashes Test

Former England captain Naseer Hussain this summer, change our No.3 batsman the night before? No. “Would we change our captain two months before? No. But we do it in oneday cricket. So the whole mindset of how importantly we view one-day cricket needs to be looked at.”

Former England batsman David Lloyd: “Bangladesh played really well to get from 10-2 to 275, but at the beginning I had Bangladesh as favourites to win this game, quite simply because I thought they were better cricketers than England -- so it’s proved, so it’s not a surprise to me.

“But there will be a lot of soul-searching now by the England team and management but clearly, England are not good enough having lost four matches.”

Former England captain Ian Botham on Twitter: “Well done Bangladesh, England pathetic! When are we going to pick the selectors to pick a team for the 1 day format? Time for change!!”

Former Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne: “England had the wrong team, the wrong style of play and everyone could see it; tonight’s result not a shock.

I feel for Morgan, coach in trouble.”

MCYS/EBFA Pee Wee League

2014 BCB/REPUBLIC BANK INTER-ZONE U-17

Craig in pole position, Herstelling within striking distance

Sukhwah and Ally pilot Lower Corentyne to title

THE final day of the inaugural Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS)sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-11 Pee Wee League is set to be an intriguing one this Saturday at the Grove Playfield.

The final game of the league between Herstelling Raiders and Mocha Champs will decide if Craig Primary, currently at the top of the table with 9 points from their quota of five (5) matches will end as clear winners or they will have to settle for the runner-up spot.

Herstelling will be coming out with all their players firing, as they seek to win this competition, the first for the EBFA this year. Mocha will be no pushovers as they have been improving with each game.

Their fifth and final game against Craig Primary last Saturday ended in a 0-0 stalemate with Mocha getting the closest to scoring including a missed penalty. The Craig custodian denied Mocha on two other occasions from powerfully taken outside shots.

The joint leading goalscorers to date are Craig Primary’s Trevon Davidson and Grove Hi Tech’s Devon Padmore.

Jamal Mayers, Jamal Thom (both of Grove) along with Joel Ross of Diamond and Shoran James of Herstelling, have two goals each, with James the player likely to increase his tally as the others have already concluded their quota of matches.

NOTABLE DATES `VICIOUS’ Vivian Harris improved his record to 4-0 (with three knockouts) when he defeated Garland Johnson by unanimous decision on March 10, 1998.

The fight was held at the National Guard Armory in Maryland, USA and all three judges saw the Guyanese win 40-36.

Harris had 12 more fights before suffering his first professional defeat at the hands of Ray Oliveria in February 2000. The orthodox boxer turned pro in November 1997 following an amateur career that brought him 45 victories against five defeats.

In October 2002 Harris, aged 24, became the youngest Guyanese to win a world title. He was crowned World Boxing Association (WBA) junior welterweight champion following a second-round technical knock-out (TKO) of champion Diosbelys Hurtado in Houston, Texas.

He had three successful defences but was later dethroned

by Colombian Carlos Maussa via seventh-round knockout.

Harris secured three victories before unsuccessfully challenging Englishman Junior Witter for the WBC junior welterweight title.

Of the four male Guyanese to have won world titles, Harris is the only one still to have a professional fight at home. The 36-year-old is still active and is expected to have fight number 46 later this month.

A HALF-century from Adrian Sukhwah, backed by a fourwicket haul from Asif Ally, led the powerful Lower Corentyne Under-17 team to a nine-wicket victory over New Amsterdam/ Canje Combined in the final of the Berbice Cricket Board/ Republic Bank Guyana Limited Inter-Zone 2014 Under-17 tournament last Saturday at the Albion Sports Complex.

New Amsterdam/Canje won the toss and elected to take first strike with a reasonable start of 23 before they lost Kevin Sinclair for 8, following which they struggled to score against a disciplined attack and were bowled out for a paltry 112 in 42 of their allowed 50 overs.

Skipper Jaleel Jafar topscored with 22 and was supported

by Kyle Michael with 19 and Sasenarine Sookhoo 18 as Ally spun webs around the batsmen to end with 4 for 20 while Brandon Persaud supported with 3 for 16.

In reply, Sukhwah and Ritesh Umroa made light work of the total with very attractive and sensible batting, as Lower Corentyne reached 113 for 1 with Sukhwah remaining unbeaten on 67 after Umroa was run-out for 32. Sukhwah was later named man-of-thematch.

Speaking on behalf of the BCB, president Anil Beharry thanked the management of Albion Estate, the groundsmen, the players, the junior selection panel and most of all the sponsor, Republic Bank Guyana Limited for making the tournament a success.

Meanwhile, the BCB’s Junior Selection panel announced a strong 14-man squad to participate in the Guyana Cricket Board Under-17 Inter-county tournament which is set to commence tomorrow.

The players selected are: Adrian Sukhwah (captain), Sasenarine Sukhu, Kevin Sinclair, Zaheer Inshan, Steve Deonarine (vice-captain), Joshua Harrichand, Matthew Hardial, Kris Ramnarine, Filan Crandon, Asif Ally, Deon Sinclair, Raymond Vankenie, Rameshwar Somwaru and Sylus Tyndall.

In addition to the above, the proactive junior selectors have also planned sessions for their Under-19 players in preparation for the upcoming Inter-county tournament with the sessions being held from 15:00hrs each day and are as follows. All clubs and players are asked to take note: Saturday March 14 (Upper Corentyne), Monday March 16 (New Amsterdam/Canje/East Bank Berbice), Tuesday March 17 (Lower Corentyne) and Wednesday March 18 (West Berbice) and while all the other sessions will commence at 15:00hrs each day, only the Upper Corentyne session will commence at 10:00hrs.

He stitched together a 130-run stand with Tillakaratne Dilshan (62) for the second wicket in 19.5 overs and another 53 for the third with Mahela Jayawardene (19) before holing out in the deep trying to hit James Faulkner.

Cariah faced 108 and struck four fours, in 159 minutes at the crease before he was eighth out.
