Lisa Punch unveiled as new Miss Guyana World - amidst cheering, ecstatic crowd

SUNDAY CHRONICLE June 28, 2015

By Alex Wayne AT a pomp and lavish ceremony hosted last Friday evening at the new Marriott Hotel, overseas-based Guyanese songbird Lisa Punch was unveiled as Guyana’s representative to the Miss World Pageant in China in December 2015.

The plush ceremony saw the audience being treated to an entertaining and interactive hosting by Miss Guyana World 2014, Ruqayyah Boyer, and outgoing Miss Guyana World, Rafeiya Husain.

The two queens took the audience through a colourful description of their experiences at the Miss World Pageant, and Husain’s winning ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ platform was shown on screen, moving many in the gathering almost to tears.

Then it was time for the stimulating showcase of fitness techniques from the ‘Fit Rex Fitness Group’, followed by a spectacular dance presentation by the Creative Arts Dance Group.

Scarcely had they left the stage than the audience was treated to a sizzling display of fashion by veteran

53 nation Commonwealth bloc to safeguard Guyana’s sovereignty … Venezuelan infractions high on agenda at N.Y. Foreign Ministers confab

THIS was the strong message communicated by Commonwealth Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma, following his arrival in Guyana yesterday.

Sharma was at the time making reference to the recent territorial threats made over Guyana’s western and northern jurisdictions including its offshore Exclusive Economic Zone.

According to Mr Sharma, “We are an association of 53 member states worldwide accounting for one quarter of the United Nations membership…Commonwealth member Governments, individually and collectively, are also committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes and to the rule of law.”

The Commonwealth Secretary General is slated to meet with key Government functionaries during his brief visit to Guyana. In a statement issued to the Chronicle yesterday, Mr Sharma stated: “There have been recent developments including a claim by a neighbouring country over Guyana’s land and maritime areas, and the Commonwealth has moved swiftly and appropriately in collective solidarity with Guyana.”

He informed too that all of the Commonwealth Foreign Ministers have been kept informed of the development regarding Guyana and Venezuela.

The Secretary-General has convened the Commonwealth Ministerial Group on Guyana, which is now scheduled to meet in New York in September.

The Guyana/Venezuela situation has also been placed on the agenda of the Commonwealth Foreign Affairs Ministers

Meeting, which is also taking place in New York in September.

At the last Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held in Sri Lanka in 2013, the Commonwealth leaders, “…

Commonwealth Secretary General, Mr Kamalesh Sharma

reaffirmed their unequivocal support for the maintenance and preservation of Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“The Commonwealth remains steadfast in its support for the Government and people of Guyana,” the Secretary-General concluded.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, in May of this year, signed a Presidential Decree claiming Guyana’s Essequibo

along with its continental offshore; unilaterally seek to usurp control over sovereign territory.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Vice President Carl Greenidge, on the first sitting of the 11th Parliament recently, lambasted the Venezuelan Government over what he called a “shameless”, “baseless” and downright “illegal” claim to Essequibo and its Atlantic Shelf.

Following Minister Greenidge’s reaffirmation of Guyana’s sovereignty over the Essequibo Region and its corresponding Atlantic Shelf, the Venezuelan Government said it “welcomes the recent statements by Guyanese Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge”, who assured that Guyana “has decided to benefit from the joint 1966 Geneva Agreement.”

Guyana and Venezuela have both inked the United Nations’ 1966 Geneva Agreement, which allows for arbitration by the UN Secretary General in disputes between states.

The Guyana Foreign Affairs Ministry is of the position “that contrary to Venezuela’s recent restatement of events, the statement by Minister Greenidge to Parliament on Thursday, June 10, 2015, made it clear that it is Venezuela’s claim of nullity of the 1889 Arbitral Award which is the root of the problem, and which has to be resolved under the procedures provided for in the Geneva Agreement.”

Minister Greenidge has said, “Finality in this matter by due process of international law as proposed by Guyana will be a gift to future generations in both countries.”

Two Guyanese held in US$12M drug bust …268 kilos of cocaine found shipped in frozen shrimp to U.S. AN East Coast Demerara resident who, this past week, was implicated in a US$12M cocaine haul in the United States of America (U.S.A.) has turned himself into the local authorities.

The man, since identified as Imrain Khan, reportedly turned himself into the authorities on Friday in the company of his Attorney Glenn Hanoman.

Khan is implicated as the exporter of a quantity of shrimp from Guyana but on its arrival in New York, the shipment was found to have also contained some 268 kilos of cocaine.

The whale of a catch has an estimated street value of more than US$12M. U.S. Law Enforcement agents, acting on a tip off, reportedly secretly removed the coke-filled crustaceans and tailed the container after it cleared customs on June 15, according to U.S. Homeland Security special agent Ryan Varrone.

The container was delivered to an unidentified warehouse in Brooklyn on Monday last where agents spotted another Guyanese based businessman, Heeralall Sukdeo, “together with others…organising and supervising the unloading” of the shipment, the complaint states.

Sukdeo, 59, the owner of ‘Sukdeo Sons Fishing’, a shipping company based in Queens, New York was arrested but said he was innocent of any wrongdoing.

“Sukdeo stated that he was present only in the vicinity of the truck containing the target shipment because he was curious about its contents,” Varrone stated in the complaint.

The shipment had originated in Guyana and was addressed to “Randolph Fraser” which is apparently Sukdeo’s alias, an employee told the U.S. Federal Authorities.

He has since been held without bail.

A U.S. drug-sniffing dog noticed something fishy about the shipping container full of shrimp

Defense lawyer Andre Travieso said Sukdeo has never been arrested before and has since called the entire debacle a misunderstanding.

“I’m pretty confident that when all the facts come out, this was just a huge mistake,” Travieso told the New York ‘Daily News’, insisting that his client did not order the drug-crusted shrimp.

It is understood that Sukdeo has a branch of his fishing company at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara with his local address being in the neighbouring community of Annandale.

UG law students entry to Hugh Wooding in limbo Nandlall’s advice to his successor is to “do as I did, and ensure that the arrangements continue until those negotiations are concluded.” The former Attorney General further sought to clarify that he was unsure of what files were being requested, since “the decisions are made at the CLE meetings and it is at that forum that he is expected to canvas for the continuation of those arrangements.”

When asked about longterm solutions to the impasse that has long caused final-year law students to hold their breath, Nandlall said: “It lies in a decision al-

By Derwayne Wills AS University of Guyana (UG) law students complete their final examinations for this academic year with hopes of continuing their legal education at the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS) in Trinidad, Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister Basil Williams is unsure if the arrangement for automatic entry of 25 Guyanese students to the HWLS will continue in 2015.

Williams told the National Assembly on Friday that he had received a correspondence from the Council for Legal Education (CLE) on June 24 regarding the status of the agreement for the automatic entry of 25 Guyanese law students based on their Grade Point Average (GPA).

The Attorney General (AG) has inherited the issue from his predecessors in the 23-year People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government. He cited the unavailability of documents in the Attorney General’s Chambers as the reason he wrote to the CLE, a body that oversees the operations of law schools in the English-speaking Caribbean.

“I have been informed,” Williams said in his address, “that there is a negotiation going on in relation to the collaborative agreement between

Attorney General Basil Williams the University of the West Indies (UWI), University of Guyana (UG), and the Council for Legal Education (CLE), but they are claiming that a new proposal put up by the University of Guyana is stalling the negotiations.”

The decision that Williams referred to, according to Williams’s predecessor, Anil Nandlall, included a number of provisions among the entities.

Nandlall, while challenging the current AG’s comprehension of the issues, said the first arrangement was for the UG LL.B (Bachelor of Laws) programme to be supervised and examination papers to be second-marked by the University of the West Indies, and finally for Guyana’s top 25 law students to enjoy automatic entry into the Hugh Wooding Law School.

“That agreement,” Nandlall continued, “expired in 2012, and every year there-

Former Attorney General Anil Nandlall after, I managed to persuade the three parties [UG, UWI and CLE] to continue that agreement on a year-to-year basis until a new agreement can be worked out between the parties.”

ready made both at the level of the heads of Government of the Caribbean, and the Council for Legal Education to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of legal education in the Caribbean.”

That comprehensive overhaul “includes a review of the role of Council, a review of the need for legal education in the Region, the establishment of more law schools [and] review of the syllabus of legal education in the Caribbean, among other things,” Nandlall added.

He said CARICOM Heads of Government decided last year “to finance this process.” “In fact,” Nandlall

continued, “I am aware that persons were working on that review process.”

Meanwhile, Nandlall gave the assurance that he had “already extracted an undertaking from the Chairman of the Council for Legal Education, and the principal of the law school for the arrangement to continue for the year 2015.”

The new academic year at the HWLS begins in two months and Attorney General Basil Williams gave his assurance to the National Assembly that he will follow up with the University of Guyana administration, since the matter is “of utmost urgency.”

Politicisation of UG Council is an exaggeration

By Ravin Singh

ONE factor which many have claimed to be the source of problematic conditions existing at the University of Guyana (UG) is the politicisation of the council -– the highest autonomous body governing the institution.

But Education Minister, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, during a recent interview with this publication, said that while he feels very strongly about this issue, he is convinced that it is being exaggerated in this regard.

Dr Roopnaraine said he doesn’t believe that the main problem plaguing the educational institution is that of a politicised council, though it is a contributing factor. But while this still poses some amount of challenges -- as was experienced in the past -- there is little that could be

done, since the composition of the council is stipulated by the University of Guyana Act. The Minister opined that when the present council expires, in a short while, efforts will be made to ensure that a council which enjoys the confidence of the students and staff is installed.

“We will have a new council, and I think we have learned from our past experiences and past councils, and we’re going to try to ensure that we have a council that enjoys the confidence of the teaching staff and the confidence of the students,” Dr Roopnaraine told the Chronicle.

In his address to the National Assembly last Thursday, the Minister had revealed that the role of the Ministry of Education under this Administration is going to be far more expansive than

simply addressing nursery to tertiary concerns, as challenging as those will be.

“There will also be the challenge of fundamentally changing how Government operates, so that we can work with our fellow state institutions in crafting a bold and innovative new pedagogy of development, of citizenship, of tolerance, of progress; one that connects to, and resonates with, all our people,” Dr Roopnaraine disclosed in his address.

Time and time again, he said, Guyana has proven that it possesses individuals within the society who are capable of excelling despite the general conditions; capable of rising above the tide of stagnating and worsening education delivery.

He posited that what is needed is a “new wave of reforms” in which “all boats rise equally” and provide an

- says Education Minister

Education Minister, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine even higher point of departure for those who would excel.

Excellence, he concluded, must be our goal.

The council is composed as follows: the Chancellor; the Pro-Chancellor; the Principal; Vice-Chancellor; one person nominated by the Committee of Deans; one person nominated by the Academic Board; one person nominated by the Guild of Graduates; one person nominated by the

Students’ Society; one person nominated by the University of Guyana Workers Union; one representative from the Ministry of Education and Cultural Development, and one from the Ministry of Finance; one person nominated by the political party in office; one person nominated by the Minority Leader; four persons nominated by such non-governmental organisations as in the opinion of the Minister are most representative of the interests of women, farmers, Amerindians and business; one person nominated by the Guyana

Trades Union Congress; three persons appointed by the Education Minister, who, in his considered opinion, can contribute significantly to the University in the fields of medicine and law; six persons nominated by the Chancellor, whose collective presence shall represent the following places: (i) the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada; (ii) the American Association of State Colleges and Universities; (iii) the Committee for International Co-operation in Higher Education of the United Kingdom; (iv) the University of the West Indies.

UG Vice Chancellor sues UGSSA ...

From Page 4 at the bursary;…repeated failure to meet legal obligations to transfer deductions from workers’ salaries to various bodies…”

The contents of the email were therefore seen as “calculated and intended to disparage the Plaintiff’s character, standing and reputation.”

“The said words have been published as news articles widely carried by the media in Guyana and on the internet, for example, INews, an internet-generated news agency, as well as Stabroek News and Kaieteur News, newspapers enjoying daily circulation in Guyana and global readership via the internet. These media houses have carried prominent articles repeating the afore-men-

tioned libellous publication of the Respondent,” the court document further stated.

Resulting from this also, is the fact that Opadeyi has received innumerable oral enquiries, by telephone and electronically from academic peers, colleagues, his junior and senior staff and others, in Guyana, the Region and farther afield, as was disclosed in the document. Opadeyi also revealed that the publication issued by Dr Ifill has caused him “grave public embarrassment, humiliation and ridicule,” both nationally and internationally, given his academic portfolio.

Justifying the VC’s position as it relates to the financial issues highlighted by the UGSSA President, the document detailed the VC’s responsibilities, revealing

that Opadeyi “has no responsibility in relation to financial matters and no dealing in finance and payments to staff.”

These arrangements, it was noted, fall strictly within the purview of the Bursar of the University of Guyana.

Additionally, the VC sought to secure an interim injunction, restraining Dr Ifill or her servants or agents from further publishing or causing to be published, sentiments which were expressed in the email.

“These defamatory publications will continue to injure

my personal, professional and academic reputation, record and office irreparably, and will certainly affect my ability to earn and indeed my livelihood, in future endeavours,” Opadeyi reasoned.

He added that he is fearful that the UGSSA President will continue her malicious and unwarranted attack on him.

Furthermore, the VC gave a “solemn undertaking” to pay for any or all damages incurred as a result of the injunction being wrongfully granted. Properties, owned

by Opadeyi which value in

excess of several millions of dollars was hinted to, as sufficient means to satisfy the award should damages be suffered in this regard.

The interim injunction was subsequently granted by the Honourable Chief Justice (CJ) Ian Chang on Friday, June 26, 2015, restraining Dr Ifill from further publishing similar statements as were expressed in the email.

All parties have been summoned to the CJ’s Chambers on Tuesday, July 7, 2015, at 09:00 hrs, for the interim injunction to be continued

until the hearing and determination of this matter, costs; such further or other order as the Court may deem just.

Dr. Ifill was additionally “commanded” to, within 10 days after the serving of the Writ provided to her, inclusive of the day of such service, cause an appearance to be entered for her in an action at the suit of Opadeyi.

The attorneys representing Opadeyi are Mr Mohabir Anil Nandlall, Mr Euclin Gomes, Mr Sase Gunraj, Mr Ganesh A. Hira and Mr Manoj Narayan.

GUYANA

CARICOM’s choice for new Commonwealth Secretary General COMMONWEALTH Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma, currently in Guyana on a three-day official visit, would undoubtedly learn more about this country’s firm commitment to supporting policies and programmes of the 53-member nation organisation as he prepares to complete his two-term engagement as Head of the Commonwealth Secretariat in London.

Although the visit is to bid formal farewell, Mr Sharma could well expect to learn of divergent views on the coming Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference in Malta as well as Guyana’s continuing support for Sir Ronald Sanders’ candidature as a new Secretary General at the coming November summit in Malta.

Guyanese by birth and a citizen of Antigua and

Barbuda, Sir Ronald has long distinguished himself as a professional practitioner of, and advocate for, the Region’s media development and programmes.

He is also recognised regionally and internationally in the field of diplomacy, largely during the years he served in London as Antigua and Barbuda’s High Commissioner.

His candidature competes with those of the Dominica-born former Attorney General of Britain, Baroness Scotland; Botswana’s former Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth Secretariat, Mmasekgoa Masire-Mwamba; and Trinidad and Tobago’s well known academic and current Minister of Planning and Development, Dr Bhoendradatt Tewarie.

However, so far as the Caribbean Community Governments are concerned, Sanders’ candidature has enjoyed overwhelming support from last year when the contest started in this Region with Baroness Scotland’s nomination by the Prime Minister of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit.

Sanders had secured a dozen of the votes cast at a meeting of CARICOM Heads of Government in comparison to two that went to Baroness Scotland. Subsequently, at a Cuba/CARICOM Conference in Havana, support was reaffirmed for Sir Ronald Sanders but by then he had announced his withdrawal from the contest without first alerting the regional leaders.

He was subsequently reassured of overwhelming CARICOM support which included that of the previous Guyana Government.

CARICOM Foreign Ministers are expected to informally discuss this issue before it reaches the official agenda. We should know the outcome this coming weekend, if not earlier.

Waiting too long for birth, marriage and death certificates I HAD applied several times on behalf of poor residents in my community and also for members of my church for birth, death and marriage certificates, but the wait is very long.

I applied for some birth, death and marriage certificates since last year, but only received a few of those which I had applied for in the post.

If a person has never been registered, the Registrar at the GPO should send me a card saying that the person’s record cannot be found. However, I received no such card after sending in the applications. In an age where modern technology is on the increase, I don’t think one should wait more than one week or three days to get a birth certificate from

GPOC. I gave some of these applicants the receipt, and even filled out a new form for them to go and apply for their certificates directly

at the GPOC, but they never heard a word in the mail. As a result of slow and poor processing of birth certificates, perhaps thousands of our Guyanese citizens have been unable to register for their new identification cards and never voted at the

recent elections.

Why is it that birth, death and marriage certificates are taking months and even years to be processed at the GPOC? It seems as if there is a lot of incompetence at this institution. I am aware of lots of people who are still waiting for their birth certificates over a year, and many who even had old birth certificates are now even told they were never registered.

A late birth registration now takes six months and over, and tons of paper work and documentation that cost a lot.

In this day and age of modern technology I can’t see the reason why a birth certificate cannot be issued in three days or the same day on special emergencies.

The cost for one birth cer-

tificate just a year ago was just $30; now it’s $300, an increase of 1000% yet the process to obtain this basic certificate takes longer.

We can no longer trust the mail since these can be lost, damaged or go to a wrong lot number. Worst yet, not many homes have a mail box and many residents work and are not at home. So why the staff at GPOC are telling our Guyanese citizens who have waited hours for their birth, marriage and death certificates that “you will get it in the mail” what makes it so hard to give it to them right there? It’s very sad that many people who have to sign these documents are never in office or goes to work extremely late or hardly ever work.

I have been to several

other offices in Guyana for documents and was told the person to sign the document is not in office but that same person can be seen gaffing around the building compound with friends or just gallivanting the shops window shopping but still getting paid for a job they are incapable of doing .

I am not the only person who is faced with this problem; there are thousands of Guyanese experiencing the same thing because the lines for these documents are getting longer and longer every day, and some have to resort to bribery to obtain these certificates.

Amerindians are given first preference to obtain birth certificates through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, so why is it that

Indians and Africans are given such a hard time?

I am also concerned about the bad hand writing on these certificates most time an ‘M’’ looks like an ‘N’ or an ‘I’ like a ‘J’ or an ‘O’ like a ‘Q’ thus giving applicants completely different names. When these are queried that’s exactly how it’s shown in the old books written down years ago or they copy the names wrong.

I am also flabbergasted at the dates on these certificates that’s a long scratch or many times is completely omitted.

The signatures on these certificates are also a long scratch most times.

I believe names written on certificates and dates

Renewed calls for some burning issues facing Insurance industry to be addressed by new Gov’t INSURANCE is the cornerstone or foundation upon which any country develops. As a country and its people develop, its populace acquires more and more items of property hence naturally creating the need for protection against its everyday use.

Insurance fills that void and provides the comfort and confidence to the general public that the assets and liabilities of the public are adequately protected against and will make good the Insureds or other persons for death, injuries, losses or damages that may arise from time to time.

This confidence garnered through the insurance mechanism promotes

trade, industry and commerce in our society and fosters development. As such, the insurance industry needs to be closely guarded and regulated.

Over the years, my Firm, along with at least another insurance broker, is on record as having made several calls and pleas to the Government and its legislature to introduce reasonable amendments to the archaic legislation governing third party limits of liability and other related issues.

Sadly they have all fallen on deaf ears. Our roadways continue to be a place of tremendous grief and sorrow for the entire country, and more particularly, those persons who

have lost their loved ones through recklessness on our roadways. The previous Government had turned a blind eye to these growing calls to address this burning issue as the families of those departed souls have been left with just their grief and memories from these wanton accidents on our roadways.

Our roadways continue to suffer from poor and inadequate policing and contain numerous hazards which coupled with the outdated traffic laws just mandate a pittance payable to the estates of those injured or dying from such accidents. This is a matter that needs urgent attention by this new Administration to bring some semblance of order and fair play in

It’s a long rocky road ahead, but we have started the journey THE Haags Bosch landfill site is deemed an environmental disaster. Day by day Guyana has witnessed the ill deeds and monumental damages done to the City and State by the PPP/C Administration.

Recall the previous Minister, without any notice, began to use this facility even though he had received technical advice from knowledgeable persons. Hence, the Government mishandling of this important project and ignoring advice from consultants, the Contractor B.K. International was then forced to handle more than double the tonnage of waste being

delivered.

Nonetheless, we were forced at additional cost to have our Solid Waste Contractors moved to Haags Bosch.

Of course, a PPP/C Government, not sober Administration, without knowledge of the duly elected Mayor and City Council identified which firms should execute solid waste.

Thank God citizens can look forward to relief now that we have a caring Government, a partly renewed Georgetown Municipality, the Business Community and Citizens on board.

It’s a long rocky road ahead, but we have started.

At a meeting several

days ago with a group of persons of the Plaza Community, I mentioned to them that, it is like taking over a house with the infestation of rats, roaches, bats, etc. The mess has to first be cleaned up before full inhabitation, and citizens must be patient and appreciate the enormity of wickedness and incompetence that overshadowed us for over two decades.

With support of the above mentioned groups, I remain willing, able and committed to restoring a beleaguered city.

the operations of our roadways.

Whilst we are at this, I would now venture to extend this evaluation to include loss of lives and injuries on our waterways also since there has been a marked increase in the frequency of serious accidents on our waterways in the past few years. We need to have and implement rigid and strict regulations to govern the use of our roadways and waterways and maybe even our airspace.

On another related issue, the entire insurance

industry, historically, had met in the boardroom of Bank of Guyana in January 2012 to deliberate on some pertinent amendments to the Insurance Act of 1998. These sessions had a Canadian facilitator and the entire insurance industry had some very fruitful and cordial discussions/ debates and had agreed on the way forward for this Act and its implementation. It should be noted that this Act does not deal with any aspect of the traffic laws and is-

sues mentioned above but mainly provides for the regulation of the general insurance industry in its operations. I am advised that this amended/New Act is languishing somewhere in the Ministry of Legal Affairs for the past few years and I would like to call on the current Minister of Legal Affairs to lead this process through its final stages of enactment.

RAJ SINGH CEO, Raj Singh Insurance Brokers

Waiting too long for birth, marriage and death ...

From page 6 must be clearly written if a signature is a scratch the name of the person signing on the certificate should be printed at the bottom. That is one reason why many birth, death, and marriage certificates are rejected by immigration. We need an updated birth, marriage and death certificate with typed names and visible signatures, dates, and seal to avoid forgery that can be given within a week of application. The certificate size should be bigger because people with four or five names cannot fit into the small lines where names are written.

I note with interest the registry at GPOC at Georgetown is opened Mondays to Thursdays from 8-12 noon so those travelling from Berbice, Essequibo, Linden and all over Guyana going upstairs to query and uplift birth certificates in the afternoon

just after lunch are told to go home and come the next day.

Worst yet, they don’t work on Friday’s. I am still trying to figure out why they work just four half days in the week and don’t work on Fridays. Yet we still wait months even years to get these certificates in the mail.

Another problem I am faced with as a marriage officer is the long wait for marriage certificates. Just about two years ago when I married a couple I would register the marriage and apply for the marriage certificate at the same time.

I would be given a slip to obtain the marriage certificate in a week, which I would get. Now they have a new requirement that when I register a marriage I have to go downstairs and apply for the person’s marriage certificate or the person will have to make the application. Unfortunately, marriage officers like myself are blamed because

the marriage certificate will take months to come or only after several applications have been made or I have gone back into the marriage section to query the situation. I believe Marriage Officers should be given a greater preference to obtain marriage certificates for marriages they performed because most citizens work and have to lose days just to run to GPOC for these basic certificates.

Why is it we are faced with so many problems for just minor things in Guyana? We have not progressed very far as a nation after 49 years of independence. It’s about time our new Hon. Minister of Home Affairs looks into these issues.

For Guyana to progress we must stop living in denial and correct our incompetence from day to day.

As President Granger heads for his first CARICOM summit - focus also on ‘election petition’

Analysis by Rickey Singh GUYANA’S President David Granger will make his debut appearance at this week’s annual Heads of Government Conference of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) amid growing impatience over lack of significant progress to transform the 42-year Regional integration movement into the long promised Single Market and Economy (CSME).

As a former Brigadier of the Guyana Defence Force, when he was often part of presidential ceremonial delegations, the 69-year-old Head of State is also known to have more than an academic interest in Regional and international affairs.

He would, therefore, be expected to reflect some of his own concerns about the way forward for CARICOM, if not in his opening address during the working sessions over the three days of summitry politics in Barbados starting on Thursday, July 2.

The President is going to the CARICOM summit at a time when his less than month-old coalition Government, which has a one-seat parliamentary majority in the 65-member National Assembly, is on the alert over a justgranted permission by acting Chief Justice Ian Chang for the Opposition People’s Progressive Party to challenge the validity of the officially declared results of last month’s national and regional elections.

The petition was filed by the PPP’s executive member and former Attorney General, Anil Nandlall who had

President of Guyana, Brigadier (rt’d) David Arthur Granger

earlier released correspondence with the Guyana Elections Commission challenging a series of claimed irregularities in the conduct of the elections including counting and verification of the declared results.

The laws requires the court’s prior permission before the formal filing of such a petition and the Opposition PPP has indicated that this process was being pursued as “a priority” while the party remains engaged in keeping CARICOM abreast of ‘relevant’ developments in Guyana…”

Meanwhile, in Barbados, host Prime Minister Fruendel Stuart, has been reminded in a statement from former threetime head of Government, Owen Arthur, about some of the challenges to be faced, nationally and regionally, in order to inspire confidence in CARICOM’s future.

CUT THE ‘PAUSE’ Arthur recalled that instead of vigorously moving forward, as advised by experts committed to regional economic integration and functional co-operation, the Community’s leaders chose in recent years to put the CSME on a “pause” mould. However, the passage of time and submission of new reports by distinguished regional and international experts have reminded why the Region’s Governments, including Barbados’ can no longer afford to “duck” from the challenges to be faced.

For instance, according to Arthur, an Economist by profession, who had lead responsibility for the CSME while in office, the challenges involved in the Region’s “high indebtedness” would be among priorities to be addressed.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister, Dr Ralph Gonsalves

That discussion will surface when the politicians and technocrats settle down to examine recommended initiatives from a top-level Caribbean Commission.

How they achieve progress in their deliberations would very much depend on new efforts to move away from a regressive “pause mood” on advancing the CSME. They need to ‘cut the pause’ DOMINICAN REPUBLIC’S ‘RACE’ DISCRIMINATION However, apart from addressing imperatives on the CSME work agenda as well as functional cooperation issues - such as regional air transportation - although some progress seems to have been achieved on the irritating hassle-free immigration front - there remains for urgent relevant action on social/ political issues.

Foremost, at this time, seems to be the lingering, arrogant determination by The Dominican Republic (DR) to ignore a deepening crisis involving inhumanes race-based discrimination against thousands of black Dominicans.

The victims are citizens of Haitian origin - by birth, residence and work. At least 200,000 of them are currently facing deportation because they are not in possession of new travel documents, under a controversial law that makes it extremely difficult and impractical to obtain for them to freely leave and return to The DR. The Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr Ralph Gonsalves, who initially became personally involved back in 2013 in engaging the Government of The DR to make necessary adjustments to the law, but like CARICOM Governments and human rights and other civil society organisations, has deemed this latest ordeal facing DR citizens of Haitian origin as ”simply unacceptable…”.

He would be among CARICOM leaders expected for next week’s summit in Barbados.

Teen ‘busted’ with 800 grams cocaine strapped to body AN 18-year-old female from Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, was yesterday ‘busted’ with approximately 800 grams of cocaine strapped to her body.

The Chronicle learnt that the teenager, who was an outgoing passenger on a LIAT Flight to Barbados, was found to be acting very strangely while transiting the Ogle Airport and security officers there alerted ranks of the Police Narcotics Division who are usually stationed at the port of entry.

It was reported that when officers searched the woman, she

was found to have the substance strapped to her body with the use of a waistband.

The items were removed, the woman was told of the offence and was later taken into police custody. Up to late last evening, the police were trying to connect the dots with respect to who the players are in the shipment of the drugs and on whose behalf the woman might have been acting.

In recent days, there have been several drug busts -both locally and abroad - in which Guyanese have featured prominently.

Last week, a shipment of frozen shrimp was found to be used for concealing cocaine, the value of which amounts to millions of US dollars; when converted to local currency, it has a street value that touches the billion-dollar mark.

Shortly after a barber from Berbice was ‘busted’ at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport with cocaine in his possession and he too was arrested. That bust was made by ranks from the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) and the matter is under investigation.

CARBON CONVERSATIONS

Guyana’s bulwark in face of mass extinction threats

By Gary Eleazar VENEZUELA’s recent threat to Guyana’s western and northern jurisdictions pales in comparison to the gravest peril to the nation’s literal long-term survival, mediumterm mitigation, and promise of a prosperous Regional and World footing.

Such is the dire threat that a nation of less than one million people will have to find the political will to implement policy frameworks that would be sustained over potential change in Governments in the coming years.

SIR SHRIDATH A forum called ‘Carbon Conversations’ was hosted earlier this week in the Guyana Pegasus Hotel, and such importance was placed on the ground-breaking event that Sir Shridath Ramphal - one of the many luminaries in attendance was forced to remark that the attendance reflected the acute Guyanese understanding of the very real dangers posed by an adversely changing climate.

Sir Shridath was joined in the Savannah Suite of the Pegasus Hotel by the respected Major General (rt’d) Joseph Singh; Vice President Sydney Allicock; Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman; and a host of academics, activists and other esteemed Professor Suresh Narine local stakeholders, to partake in the nation’s first ever ‘Carbon Conversations’.

An eminent icon on the local and international scene, Sir Shridath was in fact not the premier speaker for the evening, but prefaced world-renowned Professor Dr Suresh Narine’s lead on the Carbon Conversations with an observation of his own.

Climate Change would form a large part of the evening’s conversation, and Sir Shridath brought home the recent findings of a study conducted by the world’s elitist universities which found that the world has, in fact, entered a new phase of mass extinction.

Human existence is literally under threat, according to Sir Shridath. He said the evidence has accumulated beyond the capacity of the naysayers.

The findings of the study, conducted by the likes of Stanford, Barclay and Princeton universities, was that Climate

Change was key among factors for the current threat of extinction that faces the human population, along with a good deal of the other life forms on the planet.

Underscoring the importance of Dr Narine’s Carbon Conversations, Sir Shridath made it clear, “What we are talking about is nothing trivial.”

CARBON Having a ‘Carbon conversation’ would require at least a cursory understanding of what Carbon is. Incidentally, this element can be described as almost omnipresent on planet earth; meaning, it’s literally everywhere.

Interestingly enough, while an increase in Carbon in the atmosphere has been blamed for the adverse effects of climate change, in recent years, the professor said, “without Carbon in our atmosphere, we would all freeze to death.”

Professor Suresh Narine made the observation as he opened

Sir Shridath Ramphal

Major General (rt’d) Joe Singh

his Carbon Conversations.

Guyana, as a nation, has made international headlines over its climate change efforts, and credit must, in large part, go to former President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, whom many would say was key among those internationalising the issue in Guyana’s favour.

Earth essentially exists with an atmosphere held in place by a range of factors that will not be discussed in this article, but existing in that atmosphere is what many have come to call the ‘Greenhouse Effect’.

This phrase, Professor Narine said, has in recent years taken on a bad rap, but it is the ‘Greenhouse Effect’ which essentially provides the balanced atmosphere required to sustain life.

He explained, “If we have too much carbon in the atmosphere, then it begins to warm up, and this of course leads to climatic problems.”

GENESIS But if Carbon exists all around, as has been the case for millions upon millions of years, why has it suddenly become a problem, and why is its quantity rising so exponentially in the atmosphere?

Professor Narine gave some insight.

Planet earth has naturally been regulating Carbon over time using plants. He explained that photosynthesis — a term taught in all primary schools — essentially refers to the act of a plant taking Carbon from the atmosphere and using sunlight and water to make tissue.

But why has Carbon content in the atmosphere increased so exponentially in recent years?

Professor Narine drew the correlation to fossil fuel, oil pulled from the depths of the earth’s crust and released into the atmosphere.

Vice President, Sydney Allicock

Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman

He explained that the fuel used today was in fact formed through millions of years of the earth cooking large deposits of essentially dead plants and other, plankton organisms.

Professor Narine pointed out that those carbon-based life forms, especially plants, would have had dead or decaying tissue deposited over millions of years and trapped between the earth’s crust taking another 800 million years to actually be cooked into crude oil.

The problem arises since oil would have taken the earth millions of years to make, while humans -- on the other hand -- would have been burning it up over the course of the past 100 years, in the process releasing into the atmosphere millions of years of Carbon stored under the earth’s surface in the form of crude oil.

Multi-disciplinary task force to address City’s drainage - to be expanded to include other areas THE terms of reference of the Cabinet-approved multi-disciplinary task force, established to present a holistic plan for the further restoration and renewal of Georgetown, have been expanded to address more areas.

The task force is now expected to tackle drainage, traffic management, and urban rehabilitation of all the towns and urban centres in Guyana.

Minister of Public Infrastructure Mr David Patterson, addressing a press conference at the ministry’s Kingston office, yesterday, explained that the President and Cabinet, in recognition that flooding is not unique to the City, had tasked him with arriving at a holistic plan to address the issues.

To this end, the minister explained that he is in the process of augmenting the task force’s membership and terms of reference to address other flood prone areas including those the Administration will be very soon seeking to develop into towns. These are Bartica, Mabaruma, Mahdia and Lethem.

Meanwhile, as it relates to the restoration and renewal of Georgetown, Minister Patterson explained that the ministry will be giving itself until 2020 to have Phase One of this plan completed. He said the goal is to preserve the uniqueness of Georgetown, including the Stabroek Market which will be addressed under the plan. Like the City, the market’s restoration will be done in phases.

NDIA to fix Sussex Street sluice seepage - Gov’t, stakeholders to address flooding in Albouystown

A TEAM from the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) headed by its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Lionel Wordsworth, yesterday afternoon visited and assess the structural defect on the Sussex Street sluice that is causing inflow from the Demerara River, and which recently resulted in flooding to sections of Albouystown.

Addressing the media at a press conference earlier yesterday at the Ministry of Public Infrastructure in Kingston, Mr Wordsworth explained that following the assessment, the NDIA will be better informed and will immediately

commence mobilising, with a view of putting in place, if not permanently at least temporarily measures to stop the inflow of water.

Also at the press conference were Minister of Public Infrastructure Mr David Patterson, Head of the Work Services Group (WSG) Mr Geoffrey Vaughn, Technical Advisor to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Mr Walter Willis, Deputy Mayor Georgetown, Ms Patricia Chase-Green, and Community Coordinator, Mr Neilson McKenzie.

McKenzie has been tasked by the Minister of Public Infrastructure to work with Albouystown residents on a permanent solution to flooding and blockage in the community. He explained that his intention is to meet with the Community Development Councils (CDCs) and other groups within the community with a view of arriving at an understanding of the problem and, together, work out step-bystep, a “package of measures” aimed at alleviating flooding in the community.

EMERGENCY WORKS Meanwhile, Minister Patterson provided an update on the emergency flood reduction works around the city, an intervention for which Cabinet recently released $75M, and which covered the desilting and land clearing of drainage structures as a temporary solution to reducing flooding in the City.

Minister Patterson explained that the cleaning of Caneview Avenue going east, and the Cummings Street and Downer Canals is expected to be completed next week.

The ministry had also facilitated a clean-up group, comprising members from Sophia, Nabaclis and Canal Number One, to address the cleaning of alleyways. According to Minister Patterson, this crew has successfully cleaned alleyways in D’Urban Street, David Street, Albouystown, around the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, Cummings Street, Middle Street and Thomas Street, and

between Church and Lamaha Streets.

He said there are still some areas targeted under the exercise that are to be cleaned, but that the ministry has been facing some challenges in getting its machines in these areas.

Providing further clarification, Deputy Mayor Ms ChaseGreen explained that those areas are where squatters are living, and these pose a great difficulty for the machinery to move along the embankment to clear the areas.

APPEAL TO CITY SQUATTERS To this end, the Deputy Mayor appealed to the squatters, that they provide no obstruction, whilst the machinery is working in these areas. She also called on those persons doing cleanup in the different communities to inform the Council when they are conducting such an exercise.

She explained that this will ensure that the cleaning is done in a more coordinated manner, as in many cases, the garbage collected by these groups is left to lie on the roadside for days.

She pointed out that if groups inform the Council as to the date and time of their cleaning exercise, then the Council would be better able to provide trucks at the sites to help with the collection and removal of the garbage.

Chase-Green also used the opportunity to appeal to the business and store owners on Regent and Robb Streets, to be present or have a representative, when there is cleaning within their vicinity.

This, she explained, is to facilitate the opening of gates to their bridges that provide access to closed alleyways.

Meanwhile, as it relates to the tenders for the cleaning of the outfalls at Kingston, the Lamaha Sluice outfall and inlet and Sussex Street and Meadowbank and the revetment work at Sussex Street, tenders will be opened from July 14 at the ministry.

Once all of the tenders are opened, the ministry expects that contractors will mobilise speedily to execute the works, most of which will take about two to three weeks for completion. (GINA)

Social Protection Minister outlines…

Plans to improve lives of children, women and elderly GOVERNMENT will be embarking on a holistic programme, to promote much needed measures that will support persons who are faced with challenging situations.This was told

by Minister of Social Protection, Volda Lawrence to the National Assembly on Friday last, as she outlined Government’s plan to stem poverty in Guyana.

Minister Lawrence explained that the Social Protection Ministry has begun the process of restructuring and strengthening the various departments, filling long outstanding vacancies and prioritising all programmes.

CHILDREN’S WELFARE She announced that all the children’s homes will be refurbished to ensure the country’s children are placed in a homely setting, and “not one that will leave you with tears when you visit.”

During August, the

Ministry will be opening a Probation and Child Welfare office on the East Bank of Demerara to facilitate the citizens residing in that area and on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway.

The ministry is also exploring the establishment of a children’s home in Linden, Minister Lawrence said.

“This, the people of Linden will tell you is at the top of their list, for our children who are taken off the streets or come in contact with the law must either remain at the police station for which there are no provision, or at the Linden Hospital…this is not the way this Government will make provision for our children,” Minister Lawrence emphasised.

ELDERLY The Palms will be demolished, and a new structure will be erected.

However, Minister Lawrence noted that to erect a new

building requires a significant amount of financing, but the ministry will plan for it.

It will also be looking at new methods of payment for pensioners, and public

Minister of Social Protection, Volda Lawrence assistance recipients.

Moreover, Government’s commitment to the opening of a Legal Aid Clinic in the mining town of Linden will be realised.

WOMEN Also to be realised is the Government’s commitment of building a half-way home for women, Minister Lawrence said. “It is our intention to ensure that those persons who seek shelter at our various homes are assessed and given second chances through the use of the Hugo Chavez Centre for Rehabilitation and Reintegration,” she further noted.

In keeping with the new Administration’s commitment to support families, the ministry is forging ahead to undertake a national mapping of social issues, and will be preparing a strategy to address these, and ultimately develop a plan of action involving national stakeholders.

“It has become clear and worrying, the despicable way under which womenfolk exist, the daily struggles they face in an attempt to combat domestic abuse, Trafficking in Persons, and the dire

financial constraints which leaves them in the hands of unscrupulous exploiters. In the same vein, we witness the way in which the elderly are treated and deprived of social amenities. Youths are just as vulnerable,” Minister Lawrence pointed out.

She said youths need to be mobilised for entrepreneurial purposes, and policies need to be implemented for the development of women and the elderly.

TRADE UNIONS In order to fully address the needs of workers, there has to be the re-establishment of a cordial relationship with trade unions, and according to the Minister, this process has already begun. Recently, the Minister met with leaders of several unions to discuss workers’ rights and welfare.

“We cannot divorce them from the social process, thus the intention to revise relevant labour legislation

and to support all legally constituted and functioning trade unions so that they can better represent workers’ rights, cannot but augur well for the labour movement,” she said, while expressing gratitude to the National Assembly for restoring the annual subvention to the Critchlow Labour College.

The ministry has already removed the ban on the limitation and inspection by labour officers, to places of employment, and is also working to establish two units, namely a Public Relations and a Statistical Department, to allow the public to become au fait with the work and assistance offered by the ministry.

The ministry has been entrusted with the responsibility of governing and protecting the rights and interest of the Guyanese nation, irrespective of race, creed, colour, situation or circumstance. (GINA)

CONSUMER CONCERNS

BEATING THE FLOODS

By Pat Dial

Over the last few months, one of the major consumer concerns has been the flooding of the City of Georgetown and the farmlands over the Coastal Regions.

These disastrous floods have been occurring annually and the media and leaders of public opinion have, in one way or another, been saying that the remedy lies in expending a great deal of scarcely available funds on pumps and other costly infrastructure.

Older folk remember when Georgetown and most of the Coast rarely ever flooded despite torrential rains. The drainage system MR PAT DIAL bequeathed by the Dutch served Guyana very well until it began to be neglected over many years and the neglect has had a direct relationship to the flooding.

Most who speak about flooding never mention the suffering and loss communities and individuals suffer: House foundations become weakened or are destroyed; homes are flooded, sometimes for days, destroying furniture and equipment and valuable and unique books and personal records; the roads deteriorate; gardens are destroyed and today, there are no well-kept gardens in

Georgetown and its environs. The poor, the old and the sick suffer terribly since they are unable to move about or to cook or to buy food and often go hungry. And the floods bring diseases and ailments which particularly affect these vulnerable groups.

From time to time over the last several years, there have been clean-up campaigns, especially in Georgetown, and at present, there is an on-going one. Many of the City's canals have been desilted but the flooding still persists because the smaller feeder drains are still silted up and the culverts are all damaged or choked. These smaller drains have to be cleaned if any relief is to be brought to citizens.

to build up the road shoulders. Many roads have no shoulders resulting in their being broken up from the sides.

Upper Brickdam is an example of this.

Over the years, the Guyana Consumers Association has been advocating the following prescriptions which cost very little money:-

(7) Ban the imports of used motor vehicle tyres.

These tyres proliferate everywhere and are disposed of by throwing them into the drains and canals, exacerbating drainage problems.

(1) The persons who man the kokers should always be on duty. Of recent times, the City has been seriously flooded because of the negligence of koker attendants.

(2) The koker outfalls must be methodically and periodically dredged.

(3) When the canals and drains are desilted, paal-offs of various kinds could be used to prevent slippage. Waste slabs from the sawmills could be used to provide cheap paals and trees should be planted along the banks of the cleaned drains and canals so that the roots could compact the soils.

(4) The mud dug out from the canals could be used

(5) The mud could also be used to build up the low street parapets to prevent the drains overflowing to the roads.

(6) Either ban the imports of styrofoam containers and plastic bags or have them recycled. Over the years, we depended on private industry establishing such recycling plants and several false starts were made. Government will have to initiate such plant or plants.

(8) Consistently educate the public as to why and how to play their part in keeping the drainage system functional. Such education has to begin from the primary school level.

(9) A strict regime of maintenance must be enforced to preserve the gains made. The Ministry responsible for Local Government could have the responsibility for such enforcement.

The above prescriptions do not require much money. They require employees doing their duty, human effort and commitment, and the will, all of which are available.

Development of comprehensive citizenship policy underway – Minister Felix

THE newly created Ministry of Citizenship will eventually policy, decentralisation of services and a national model that realise the amalgamation of several services currently includes civic education to transform the sector to realise its under the aegis of the Guyana Police Force. full potential.

This move is in keeping with recommendations made by The Ministry will comprise two divisions, Minster Felix the Disciplined Services Commission since 2014. added. “One involved in the registration of births, deaths and Minister of Citizenship, Mr Winston Felix, spoke of this development in the National Assembly on Thursday last, during the second sitting of the 11th Parliament.

He noted that, “civilians should be contracted to perform police functions that do not require police training.”

It was explained that this would include examination of vehicles for road fitness, processing of applications for passport, and typing and secretarial work.

The new Ministry will encompass these areas and more, according to Minister Felix. He outlined several ways through which persons can become citizens, including naturalisation.

In quoting the vision of the Immigration Services, that is, “Developing to its full potential, Guyana’s registration and immigration system”, he noted that it is envisaged that in the long-term, the country would be serviced by an efficiently run decentralised registration, immigration and naturalisation service or RINS. This service will have branches in all of Guyana’s townships, such as Bartica and Lethem, and will give persons the ability to know their rights and responsibilities, and “have access to recourse in the event of anomalies to the system.”

Minister Felix said that for too long these agencies have Minister Winston Felix addressing the House last week had a disparate relationship, and they were unable to share information and, as such, completely serve the purpose for which they were designed. marriages, while the other will be engaged in the registration of The Ministry of Citizenship, currently housed in the citizens, naturalisation, visa extensions, passport applications compound of the Ministry of the Presidency, will review and other related matters.” the existing system and structures and the formulation A Managing Board will be put in place to guide and of a strategic plan to integrate the systems to achieve the be responsible for overall policy.

administration and daily operations, while a Legal Advisor will also be appointed. An Integration Technology Manager who will oversee the integration of the systems and relevant data, and a Public Relations Manager will be employed.

All new births will be registered with a unique number issued to them, Minister Felix further explained, stating that this number will be instrumental in the registered person’s obtaining of a national identification card at age 14, where biometrics will also be done to ensure that Guyanese can be easily identified wherever they are. Agencies such as the Guyana Revenue Authority, Immigration and the Ministries of Education and Health will eventually have access to this information under a secure data base system. All of these measures will be implemented using best practices from overseas nations.

With over 40 different nationalities present in Guyana for various reasons, Minister Felix stated that the numbers give rise to the need for the review of this country’s laws. The current method of persons outside of Commonwealth nations being able to reside in Guyana for five years and automatically being given naturalised citizenship must be revised. The Minister emphasised “examples from other countries suggest that apart from residency in that country, for five or more years, there is need to write and pass a written exam…”

He added that as a small developing country with high unemployment amongst a small population, where foreign investors enter to generate wealth, the jobs of Guyanese must be protected. Recalling the issue with the previous Government which allowed Chinese unskilled labour to work on the construction of the Marriott Hotel, the Minister stressed that unless highly specialised skills are required, vacancies must be advertised locally, “before importing labour from outside of Guyana. This situation ought to be corrected to allow Guyanese to be beneficiaries of employment.”

Public Health Minister assures nation of equitable health care MINISTER of Public Health, Dr George Norton, in his contribution to the debate on President G r a n g e r ’s a d d re s s t o Parliament, gave an illustrative and analytical overview of the national health care system, underlining the urgency for a restoration and elevation of services, manned by welltrained Guyanese specialists who can offer equitable primary health care, especially to the women, children and the aged.

Quoting from President G r a n g e r ’s s p e e c h t o Parliament, in which it was emphasised that whether resident on the coastland or in the hinterland, rich or poor, he said all should have access to equitable primary health care. Minister Norton said it is one goal that will be pursued “vigorously”.

He said the mother in Aishalton should be able to access equal maternal health care as the mother in Georgetown, or Mahaicony, with the same coverage given to the child; or to the aged, irrespective of their place of residence.

Continuing, Dr Norton posited that the Government would not give support or encourage any special sector in the society, or particular individuals to benefit from costly medical treatment that is not accessible to, by the rest of the citizenry because of their economic status or political affiliation.

Explaining the structure of the national health care system, the minister said these were of five levels: Level 1, which is the national referral system, with specialist doctors in every field; Level 2, in which there is specialist care in the four specialist areas of general surgery, paediatrics, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynaecology; Level 3, the district or cottage hospital where there should be general medical officers; Level 4, where there are health visitors, midwives, and nursing assistants; and Level 5, comprising the health posts, in which the community health worker renders service.

Elaborating on the latter level, Dr Norton said such an outpost does provide obstetric care in the delivery of babies, and he would endeavour to have a midwife along with the community health worker. He mentioned that in

an Upper Pomeroon village, the midwife there gave birth to an annual average of 25 babies.

Focusing on the President’s statement that the primary health care system is failing women, children, and the aged, Minister Norton said one of its subprogrammes have to do with nutrition surveillance and nutrition education, and that there will be much emphasis on this segment as it has been found that national “eating habits are going in the wrong direction”, since Guyanese are no longer eating what they produce, such as fruits and vegetables, but instead opt for imported food.

The minister said there will be efforts on food policy, with specific reference to breast feeding education.

Not only will there be a child friendly corner in every health centre or hospital, but the minister said he will lead by example, by having a similar facility in his Ministry.

He also lamented the fact that although it is health policy to breast feed for six months, mothers are only given three months leave. This, he said, will have to be discussed, evaluated, and analysed, with the right answers for mothers and babies.

On the issue of adolescent health, he is of the view that this is an area, especially teenage pregnancy that has not been given the prominence it should have. Advocating the need for adolescent friendly clinics, and adolescent health education at school, the minister opined that teenage pregnancy places the person in a high risk category. Referring to the change in lifestyles and development in humans, Dr Norton pointed out that it was no longer abnormal for a Guyanese female to attain the age of puberty at the age of eight. In fact, according to him, females can become physically mature before the age of 13.

As a result, such dynamics will form part of the future public health plans.

Minister Norton, on the issue of care for the aged, underlined the neglect of this category, reminding that in his visits to Guyana’s administrative and geographic regions, there have been calls for such a service. He said that no longer must there be failure,

in addressing health issues of the aged.

On the importance of maternal and child health and family medicine, Minister Norton once again alluded

t o P r e s i d e n t G r a n g e r ’s speech, saying that a subprogramme of the primary health care system caters for the provision of health care services for the entire family.

It contains various objectives in accordance with the target of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG), adopted for world health standards. For instance,

Minister of Public Health Dr George Norton in Parliament

MDG 4 speaks of child mortality, while MDG 5 is about improving maternal health. These objectives have as their goal, the reduction of child mortality; infant mortality; the reduction of mother to child transmission of HIV; and to prevent or achieve zero cases of vaccine preventable diseases.

Finally, he spoke of the challenges of community health care workers having to climb mountainous terrains and descend into valleys in order to administer vaccines to babies. But there are other problems as well, where villages do not have vaccines because of broken refrigerators, broken solar panels, which Dr Norton illustrated “flies in the face of the equity we are trying to achieve”.

He assured that the Public Health Ministry will do everything to correct this situation. (GINA)

‘Aunty Bety

By Telesha Vidya Ramnarine SHE tied the proverbial knot at the age of ‘sweet 16’. And despite the hardships that accompanied the exchange of those wedding vows, she endured in her married life and stayed on because of the vow she had solemnly made before Man and God. Now at age 67, Phulmattie (only name) called ‘Betyah’, who lives in Leguan – an island in the mighty Essequibo River, is certain that the young girls of today would not be able to bear half of what she had gone through with her late husband.

She had, for many years, been subjected to abuse, both physical and verbal. Even when she attempted to go to her mandir, she would hear his curse and insults.

Mrs Phulmattie’s dad had died when he was just 30 years old, leaving behind a determined daughter and four other children.

Life was very hard for the family because they were so poor. It was a struggle for her mother to put food on the table. In time, though, her mother got involved in another relationship, and the children were then cared for by their grandmother.

Mrs Phulmattie “In 16 years (at 16 years old), I started to work. After our father died, we had to struggle for a meal. There was no hospital at the time on the island (Leguan). My father just ‘take in’ the night with vomiting, belly work and pain, and died just like that.

“I was the eldest child, so I had to work hard to look after the rest of my siblings.

I learned hard work from my mother. I had to pick up brick at the waterside and burst them to fill a barrel. I got 24 cents for doing this.”

Mrs Phulmattie’s mother found her a husband, and in those days it was customary for young people to marry

Mrs Phulmattie and a good friend on the island of Leguan without even meeting each other. Mrs Phulmattie said she trusted her mother’s judgement and did not question the arranged marriage that was fixed.

She was born and raised at the ‘back part’ of the island, but moved to Blenheim when she got married; and she has continued residing at Blenheim to this date. Married life was hard for her, though. We will not get into the details of what she went through, but let’s just say it was the worst possible experience for Mrs Phulmattie.

Her lady friends in the backdam, where she worked planting and cutting rice, often asked her if it was because she thought there was a shortage of men that she

was putting up with all of the abuses. She was urged many times to leave her husband and move on.

By this time Mrs Phulmattie’s grandmother had died, and her mother was living her own life, so to speak. She had also become the mother of seven children, and today she is the grandmother and great-grandmother of many.

So, with nobody really at her side, Mrs Phulmattie said, she decided to stay in the marriage because of the marriage vow she had made, and because she had her children’s welfare to think about.

“I sit down and I think wise. I sit down and think about meh life. With all the bad treatment I stay, because I married him between (before) Man and God.

“I know for sure no young girl today would take what I pass through. All thing meh study, and plenty people ask me what I was doing with that man and if there was a shortage of men that I had to stay with him. But I think about my children.

“When you marry, you take an oath. When you do abortion and cheat on your husband, these are two of the biggest sins to me. With abortion, I believe you turn like a tree, not bearing fruit in your next life,” Mrs Phulmattie expressed.

Mrs Phulmattie’s husband died at age 81. They had been married for 57 years, despite all of the abuses. Today, life is much better for her, and she is merely “relaxing” on the island while being cared for by her relatives.

“We were so poor. We really meet with hard times; really hard punishment. Now that I deh good, I get sickly.

I went Georgetown Hospital, Balwant Singh, Woodlands, all the hospitals, and I reached till to America, but I am still sick. They told me I have to do (an) operation, but I (am) not doing it. When is time to go (die), I ready to go!”

The elderly woman said she still felt really sad when her husband died, and misses him greatly each day. “Only God knows what I pass through. No man knows! But I know I safe on God side. At least I didn’t sin.”

- believes young girls of today unable to pass through what she had

Williams insists Nandlall account for Cabinet-approved $1.2B for CCJ rulings

By Derwayne Wills ATTORNEY General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Basil Williams is calling for his predecessor, Anil Nandlall, to account for $1.2B that was approved by Cabinet under the Donald Ramotar Administration for payment ordered by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in favour of Surinamese company Rudisa Beverage Company.

“If Cabinet passed a decision to pay it, why they didn’t pay it?” Williams asked yesterday while in an interview with this publication. “In fact,” he continued, “I have a cabinet memo approving the payment of the sum.”

In his address to the National Assembly on Friday regarding the non-payment of monies ordered by the Court, Williams said, “the previous Government has left this new Government burdened by horrendous debt.” The AG’s fear is that the debt would have rolled over from the previous Government as a sanction on the new Administration.

The AG recalled on his recent visit to the CCJ in Trinidad, “I was informed that the previous Government, represented by the former Attorney General had occasioned a judgement in the matter of Rudisa Beverage Company’s case of $1.2B…and that judgement has not been paid by the previous Government.”

On another case, regarding Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL), Williams further dis-

closed to the House, in the absence of the Opposition People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C), a sum of $57M owed to the company, which was unpaid by the former Administration.

In a statement released to the media yesterday, Nandlall sought to explain the judgement in relation to the Rudisa case, saying “it boggles the mind that the Attorney General made this ‘discovery’ by chance when I repeatedly, and ad nauseum, made this information public, both when the judgement was awarded, as well as on numerable times thereafter.”

To Nandlall’s credit, the matter was exhausted in the media when the rulings first surfaced in mid-2014. “The truth is,” Nandlall’s statement read, “Guyana has failed to amend its laws to bring them in conformity with the revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, in terms of ensuring that certain goods of CARICOM origin are not levied with tax and customs duties when imported into Guyana.”

He said the case was adjourned by the CCJ to facilitate Guyana’s change to the “offensive provisions” which sought to impose a discriminatory environmental tax on imported beverages from CARICOM countries.

Nandlall indicated the beverage company indicated a willingness to withdraw the case if Guyana had changed its provisions.

Nandlall said the then Finance Minister, Dr Ashni

Singh, “tabled the necessary amendments to the Customs Act in the National Assembly on two occasions. On both occasions, the joint Opposition, which held a majority in the National Assembly, voted against the amendments.”

Nandlall noted the 2014 objection of “Messrs Basil Williams, Khemraj Ramjattan and Carl Greenidge” to the proposed amendments, he however did not say what those objections were.

Attorney General Basil Williams yesterday, in an invited comment from this publication, responded to Nandlall’s assertions calling them “erroneous” and further stated that the objections to the amendments made by himself, Ramjattan, and Greenidge, had nothing to do with the environmental tax law. He said the PPP/C Government, of which Nandlall served as Attorney General, should have paid the money ordered by the court.

Nandlall maintained, however, “The reality is that Guyana remains in violation of the Revised Treaty of Chaguara-

mas [RTC] and many more lawsuits can be filed. Therefore, rather than engage in political ramblings on this issue, it would be prudent if the AG could ensure Guyana complies with its Treaty obligations.”

When asked whether the David Granger Administration would consider the appeal of the laws, Williams said the issue is a matter for the consideration of Cabinet.

In a May 2014 media release from the CCJ, the Court ruling said, “A breach of the RTC cannot be excused on the basis that the Government was unable to obtain from the National Assembly necessary amendments to domestic legislation.”

The release continued: “The CCJ held the Claimants [Rudisa] were entitled to a declaration that the legislation was inconsistent with the RTC. The Claimants were also entitled to be repaid the environmental taxes collected from them up to 2013 amounting to

US$6,047,244.47.”

Additionally, the Court had ordered Guyana to become compliant with the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, which outlines the responsibilities of member countries in CARICOM, and to file a report in late 2014 on compliance with such orders.

The Chronicle is unaware

whether such a report was filed.

As it relates to the court’s order for payments to Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL), Nandlall challenged that such an award was not made except, “the only monetary order made in that matter relates to costs, and it is nothing close to $57M.”

Paraguay Fifties from Shehzad, Ali power Pakistan to 171-2 down Brazil on (Reuters) - Gritty half-centuries from Ahmed Shehzad and Azhar Ali steered Pakistan to 171 for two against Sri Lanka when bad light ended the third day of the second Test yesterday..

Shehzad fell for 69 to the first ball after tea having shared a 120-run second-wicket partnership with Ali (64) who was unbeaten after registering his 20th test fifty.

Veteran Younus Khan was on 23 not out at the close as Pakistan trailed Sri Lanka by six runs with eight wickets in hand at the P Sara Oval.

Earlier, Pakistan had claimed the last Sri Lankan wicket in the morning session to bowl out the hosts for 315 with leg-spinner Yasir Shah (6-96) dismissing Dushmantha Chameera 15 minutes after a rain-delayed start.

ADVERTISING Younus held a good running catch to send back Cha-

be caught by Kumar Sangakkara in the slips.

Shehzad and Ali proved there were no demons in the pitch and they frequently used their feet to negate the threat posed by Sri Lanka’s left-arm spinner Rangana Herath.

Shehzad overcame a

blow on his helmet by a Chameera bouncer to bring up his fifty in the 35th over.

The opener, however, perished straight after tea when he edged a pull shot against Dhammika Prasad through to keeper Dinesh Chandimal.

SCOREBOARD

Azhar Ali meera as Sri Lanka, pressing for a series-levelling victory, took a 177-run first-innings lead.

Shot out for 138 in their first innings, Pakistan did not make a great start in their second either as a leaden-footed Mohammad Hafeez (eight) poked at an Angelo Mathews delivery to

Sri Lankan great Sangakkara to quit Tests during India series

.. Wants Sri Lanka to play ‘fearless cricket’ under Mathews

By Ranga Sirilal COLOMBO, (Reuters) Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara will quit international cricket during the Test series against India in August, the island nation’s most prolific batsman said yesterday.

“I have decided to call it a day...(after) the second Test of the India series,” the 37-year-old told reporters on the sidelines of the ongoing second test against Pakistan of his decision to end a 15-yer-old illustrious career.

Sangakkara said he wanted to quit all formats of the game after Sri Lanka’s World Cup campaign this year but promised to be available for the backto-back home series against Pakistan and India.

“But at the same time I said that I would be unable to play six Test matches.

I could do four and if that was okay, I will give my 100 percent commitment to these four Test matches,” said Sangakkara who will skip the

third and final Test against Pakistan.

India arrive in early August to play three Tests in Sri Lanka but the dates and the venues have not been finalised.

“I wish I could keep on playing but I know when the time comes you have to go and I know this is my time,” he added.

Sangakkara made his international debut in 2000 and is currently playing his 132nd Test against Pakistan, having amassed 12,305 runs at an average of over 58 and including 38 centuries.

Sangakkara is the fifth highest Test scorer of all time and is one short of Australian great Donald Bradman’s record of 12 double centuries in Tests.

Before giving up keeping, Sangakkara made 20 stumpings to go with his 179 catches in tTsts.

His ODI record is no less impressive, having totalled 14,234 runs in 404 matches, averaging nearly

Kumar Sangakkara 42 and including 25 centuries. He took 402 catches in ODIs and has 99 stumpings against his name.

Adjudged ICC Cricketer of the Year in 2012, the former Sri Lanka captain was part of the 2014 Twenty20 World Cup-winning squad.

He was also a member of the teams which reached the 50-over World Cup finals in 2007 and 2011.

Sangakkara’s retirement, following that of his former team mate Mahela

Jayawardene, creates a big void for Sri Lanka but the he has no doubt the team under Angelo Mathews will cope.

“Angelo is a fantastic captain, a fantastic cricketer.

I think he is the ideal man to lead this team of youngsters,” Sangakkara said.

“They are into the future and I just wish that there’ll be a real culture of fearless cricket, positive cricket where they are unafraid to make mistakes.”

penalties, meet Argentina

CONCEPCION, Chile, (Reuters)-Derlis Gonzalez slotted two penalties, one in regular time and again in the shootout, to help Paraguay beat Brazil 4-3 after a 1-1 draw yesterday that advanced them to a Copa America semi-final against Argentina.

It was the second tournament in succession that Paraguay have beaten Brazil on penalties at the quarter-final stage after 2011 when they went on to the reach the final.

They face Argentina on Tuesday for the second time in the tournament, having fought back from two goals down for a 2-2 draw in the teams’ opening group match.

Gonzalez netted the decisive Paraguayan penalty with the fifth spot kick having scored his team’s equaliser during normal time.

Robinho started and finished a fine move in the 15th minute to put Brazil ahead before Gonzalez equalised with 20 minutes to go when he converted a penalty after a hand ball by Thiago Silva.

“Unfortunately, our game dropped in the second half,” said Robinho. “We had chances to kill the game off.

“Paraguay with all respect aren’t one of the best sides. We didn’t kill the game and unfortunately we lost a goal with a silly mistake and we lost.”

Brazil, who had won 12 of their previous 13 matches since Dunga took charge after last year’s World Cup, had more possession in the first half and weaved some good attacks but Paraguay were quick and dangerous on the break.

Paraguay became more adventurous in the second half and winger Edgar Benitez soon won a free kick when he was brought down by Dani Alves, though goalkeeper Jefferson parried the ball away from Roque Santa Cruz’s attempt.

With an hour gone, Jefferson made a diving reflex save from centre back Paulo Da Silva’s header and later made a similar save from Gonzalez in a counter-attack.

Paraguay captain Justo Villar then had to make a scrambling save from a Philippe Coutinho shot as Brazil piled on late pressure.

In the shootout, the writing was on the wall for Brazil from their second penalty which was put wide by Everton Ribeiro and another substitute, Douglas, missed their fourth to give Paraguay two penalties to settle the outcome.

Santa Cruz then skied his penalty, Philippe Coutinho gave Brazil hope by netting his but Gonzalez made no mistake.

Hosts Chile meet Peru in tomorrow’s other semi-final.

Mitchell Marsh hits rapid century

Mitchell Marsh scored a rapid century as Australia built a commanding lead of 549 on the third day of their tour match against Kent.

The 23-year-old, who is vying with Shane Watson

for the Ashes all-rounder berth, brought his hundred up off 93 balls, including five sixes, before retiring on 101.

Watson himself made a 76-ball 81 as Australia reached 322-4 at stumps.

Kent began the day on 203-5 but lost their last five wickets for 77 runs.

Fast bowler Ryan Harris, who has not played a Test since January, took his first wickets of the tour.

He had England limited-overs batsman Sam Billings caught behind by Brad Haddin for 24, before Adam Ball holed out to Peter Siddle

for 45.

Mitchell Marsh then caught and bowled Mitchell Claydon, before Johnson uprooted Adam Riley’s middle stump with the first ball of his second spell.

Ivan Thomas eventually fell for 13 to spinner Fawad Ahmed as Kent were all out for 280.

Australia captain Mi-

chael Clarke then decided against the follow-on and promoted himself up the order to opener, in place of Shaun Marsh, to partner Chris Rogers.

The pair’s opening stand of 91 was broken when Rogers departed for 45, caught by substitute Sam Weller off Riley’s bowling.

Clarke was Riley’s sec-

ond victim, falling for 47, as Australia reached 132-2 at tea.

Watson and Mitchell Marsh then put on a 153run partnership as Australia upped the scoring rate.

Marsh’s retirement and the wicket of Watson left Johnson and Brad Haddin at the crease at the close of play. (BBC Sport)

Argentina into Copa semis after penalties

Mitchell Marsh

CARLOS Tevez scored the winning spot-kick as Argentina beat Colombia on penalties to reach the Copa America semi-finals.

Argentina dominated throughout but found Arsenal keeper David Ospina in fine form as he denied Sergio Aguero, Lionel Messi and Nicolas Otamendi.

That meant penalties were

Carlos Tevez needed and, after Colombia’s Jeison Murillo missed, Tevez converted to seal a 5-4 victory.

Argentina face either Brazil or Paraguay in Tuesday’s semi-final.

It capped a memorable day for Tevez, who came off the bench to score moments after a move from Juventus to his hometown club Boca

Juniors was confirmed It was also a deserved win for Argentina who, having scored just four goals in their three previous games at the tournament, displayed their attacking intent from the outset.

They embarked on wave after wave of attacks but found themselves up against a Colombia side that had set up to frustrate their opponents.

And when Argentina did find their way through the Colombia defence, Ospina was there to deny them.

The goalkeeper, whose future at Arsenal is in doubt with the imminent arrival of Petr Cech from Chelsea, produced a stunning double save to keep out Aguero’s shot from close range and then somehow get back up to

fling himself at Lionel Messi’s header on the follow-up.

That gave Colombia confidence, and they finally managed to muster a shot on target in the second half when Jackson Martinez powered a header towards goal, but Sergio Romero got down to make the save.

However, it was left to Ospina to keep Colombia in the game as he made another crucial save, this time denying Otamendi when the defender volleyed a corner at goal and Ospina pushed the ball onto his post.

With no extra-time in the Copa America quarter-finals or semi-finals, the game went to penalties and, after five were missed, Tevez stepped up to seal victory. (BBC Sport)

Zouks edges Warriors in last over thriller GROS ISLET, St.Lucia, (CMC)- A superb last over from Pacer Fidel Edwards on the back of a fiery spell from Kemar Roach fired St.Lucia Zouks to a sensational two run win over Guyana Amazon Warriors by way of the Duckworth Lewis Method in game six of the 2015 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) here Friday night.

Edwards held his nerve to contain the Warriors who needed 14 runs in the last over to win the match which was shortened to 18 overs a side due to rain at the Beausejour Cricket Stadium.

Earlier, Roach intimidated the top order with

short deliveries to rattle a run chase which was gathering momentum but eventually fell two runs shy of the 156 for six posted by Zouks.

Zouks total was setup by a 77 run opening stand between Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher inside seven overs.

Both openers took the attack to the bowlers with Charles hitting four sixes and two fours while Fletcher continued to be among the top scorers for the Zouks with a wellplayed 36 containing five fours and a six.

However when Fletcher was trapped lbw by Rons-

Brad Hodge was left unbeaten on 45 in Warrior’s chase. ford Beaten and Charles was stumped by captain and wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin, Zouks failed to consolidate on the start managing only 74 runs in

the remaining 11 overs.

They were restricted by the twin spin attack of Sunil Narine and Veerasammy Permaul who grabbed two wickets each as the home side struggled in the middle overs.

However an unbeaten knock of 30 from Ross Taylor who put together a sixth wicket partnership of 39 with Captain Darren Sammy helped to improve the run rate.

Sammy hit two boundaries before he was caught and bowled by Beaton who returned with an impressive second spell to finish with two wickets.

The Warriors started the chase with a brisk pace as Lendl Simmons and Tillakaratne Dilshon attacked the

bowling.

However Dilshan was forced to retire in the fourth over with the score on 36 after he was hit by a bouncer from Roach whose impressive and hostile fast bowling disrupted the run chase.

Simmons scored 14 off 16 balls until he became the first victim of Roach’s short delivery, which was edged to Sammy at point.

Veteran Shiv Chanderpaul also failed to get going in the chase, soaking up 17 balls to score just 7 runs before he was deceived by the South African Spinner Eddie Leie, allowing wicket keeper Fletcher to remove the bails with his back foot still in the air.

Leie had best figures of two for 25 including

the scalp of Ramdin for 21 while Chris Barnwell chipped in with 26 and featured in the highest partnership of the innings, a 53 run stand for the fourth wicket with veteran Brad Hodge, unbeaten on 45.

Hodge and Dilshan, who finished with a score of 29, after returning in the 16th over, appear to be leading their side to victory with 14 needed off the last over.

But in dramatic final moments Edwards bowled a gem of an over, shattering Dilshan’s stumps in the second ball.With four needed from the final ball, Narine got a top edge that only allowed two runs as the Zouks sealed their second victory in the tournament.

GBTI Annual Tennis classic

Osbourne beats Beaton to set a date with Rudy Grant NUMBER nine seed Benjettan Osbourne defeated Jordan Beaton 7/6, 7/1, 6/2 when play in the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry continued on Friday evening at the bank’s tennis facility, Bel Air Park, Georgetown.

Osbourne was scheduled to meet veteran player Rudy Grant last evening in the men’s open final.

According to a release from the Guyana Tennis Association (GTA), the Osbourne versus Beaton match was the most anticipated one for the evening and it lived to its expectations as Osborne served to begin the match, which featured two failed break chances by Beaton.

He held his own serve, leveling the match at one game apiece. Osbourne was immediately broken after that and appeared to lose all focus. Osbourne eventually picked up the pace and placed himself in the position to serve for the

Veteran Callendar extends unbeaten run VETERAN Alwyn Callendar continued his dominant run in the Digicel Senior National Squash Championships on Friday evening at the Georgetown Club beating Joe Mekdeci 3-1 in another impressive showing.

Also outstanding on Friday was Jonathan Hohenkirk, who beat Hapoei Yang and Jonathan Antczak, dropping only one game along the way.

Taylor Fernandes, recovering from an ankle injury that ruled her out of the recently concluded Junior competition, returned to form with a 3-0 sweep of Rebecca Low, while Larissa Wiltshire was dominant in a straight game victory over Makeda Harding.

Daniel Islam continued to show what is becoming a characteristic fight as he narrowly missed out on a victory over Joshua Abdool, who prevailed 3-2. Anthony Islam had better fortune as he defeated Ingram Edwards 3-1, and Reagan Pollard emerged victorious in a marathon five game match against Robert Fernandes.

In other results, Jason-Ray Khalil walked away with a 3-0 win over Alec Melville, while Nyron Joseph recovered from being 1-0 down after the first game to hold on to a 3-2 victory over Deje Dias. The tournament concludes today.

game at 5/4 but Beaton held on to break his serve and ultimately took the first set to a tiebreaker.

Osbourne turned on the ignition, stepped on the gas and raced to a 6-0 lead in the tiebreaker. He surrendered the set with a clean down the line winner to rack up 16 winners in the first set.

Ta k i n g t h e m o mentum into the second set, Osbourne broke his opponent’s serve with a softly hit Benjettan Osbourne forehand shot. That trend (losing serves) continued until the fourth game, when Osbourne held serve and immediately broke to go up 4/1.

Both players exchanged a break in serve. Osbourne secured the next game which gave him the win at 7/6 (7/1),6/2.

He sets up another match with Grant who is looking for the opportunity to settle old scores. The two clashed before in a three-set which lasted over two hours in Osbourne’s favour.

4/6, 7/5, 6/2.

On Friday evening, also, No. 1 seed Anthony Downes hardly broke a sweat in his first match of the tournament against national player, Keenan Persaud.

The sign of nervousness was evident as Persaud started the game with a few shaky shots. He produced a handful of winning shots but this did not make an impact on the indomitable Downes who won the match 6/0, 6/1.

Former Caribbean under-12 champion Afruica Gentle emerged victorious in her match against Shivani Persaud.

Despite the big swings launched at her, she held her ground and made equally damaging counter shots at Gentle.

Her forehand was her biggest weapon but Gentle played strategically by hitting the balls which was out of Persaud’s hitting range. Gentle won her match 7/5, 6/4.

In the Men’s Open, Bishan Dalip held on to defeat Lemuel Ross. The final score was 6/3, 6/3.

Geron is the defending champion of the men’s road race title and he returned home just over a week ago so he should, by now, be acclimatized and ready to make a successful title defence.

Last year, Geron Williams won the 100-mile event that was staged from Georgetown to the Linden Highway and Back in a time of four hours 5 minutes .02 seconds.

Stephano Husbands won the junior category, while Andrew Hicks won the juveniles’ category, Raymond Newton the veterans’ category and Clair Fraser-Green the ladies’ category.

GPF ‘A’ Division partners with GFF to host one day U-15 tournament THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) ‘A’ Division will be partnering with the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) to host a one day Under – 15 football tournament today at the Police Sports Club Ground Eve Leary.

Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud will open the day’s event which is set to kick off at 10:00 hrs, featuring teams representing the various youth groups under the ‘A’ Division umbrella.

A Division Commander Clifton Hicken said that the tournament is part of the GPF’s strategic plan to not only foster a better relationship with communities within its jurisdiction, but to also create role models and with football being the most popular sport, it serves as the perfect catalyst for such an initiative.

“We’re reforming the GPF and this is one of the avenues we’re using to achieve our goals and it’s the most important one as well because we’re going to be focusing a lot on youth development,” Hicken noted.

According to Hicken, “the GPF wants to foster youth development, understand each other’s culture and this will go a long way in what we want to ultimately achieve.

We’re starting with the younger players because they will be the ones who will have to lead the way going forward and the youth groups will be used to chart that course”.

Today’s tournament is also being used for talent spotting, since one of the aims of the GPF and the ‘A’ Division is to form an Under-15 football club.

New boys Patriots stun champions Tridents!

T

HE final 2015 Hero Caribbean Premier League match in Barbados produced a last-ball thriller as the new boys St Kitts & Nevis Patriots stunned defending champions Barbados Tridents to win their first ever CPL game!

A sensational contest went down to the final ball, with the Tridents - who had won all three of their previous games in the 2015 CPL - needing three to win and two to tie, but Navin Stewart could only manage a single off Orlando Peters, who held his nerve.

Tridents captain Kieron Pollard was left frustrated at the other end, run out off the final ball going for a second that was never there to end a brilliant innings of 82 from 58 balls, including 5 sixes.

It had appeared as though the Patriots, put in to bat by Pollard, had not quite made enough runs in their innings, reaching 143-8 from their 20 overs with several batsmen get-

ting themselves in but no-one going on to make a big score.

Martin Guptill hit two enormous early sixes but the Tridents and their well-drilled attack were always in charge and slightly behind the rate they would have liked, though Shahid Afridi and Carlos Brathwaite also hit two late maximums apiece to get them to a more defendable target.

And the Tridents, who usually have such a solid top order, started shambolically as Sohail Tanvir got rid of Dilshan Munaweera and the on-fire Sheldon Cottrell ran riot, sending off both Dwayne Smith and Jonathan Carter in the

Eastman returned a time of seven minutes 42.36 seconds (7. 42:36) for the fourmile individual time trial which got underway from Montrose and concluded at Bel Air. Michael Anthony of Team Evolution placed second (7.50:54) while his team mate Orville Hinds See page 27

Pollard and Shoaib Malik started to piece their innings together and they put on 93 runs, Malik smashing his Pakistan team-mate Afridi for a huge six before ‘Boom Boom’ took his revenge, getting his mate stumped after dancing down the track.

It went to the wire, and though Pollard clubbed some gigantic blows, it wasn’t quite enough as the new boys clung on and earned their first victory in the competition before the event moves to St Kitts this week!
