Guyana, U.S. amend Caribbean Security Basin Initiative - plugs US$50k for security sector advancements

By Derwayne Wills GUYANA will receive another tranche of funding amounting to US$50,000 under the United States Government-sponsored Caribbean Security Basin Initiative (CBSI), bringing total contributions to US$900,000 for advancing the effectiveness of Guyana’s law enforcement in the fight against transnational crimes, money laundering, and corruption.

Vice-President and Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge yesterday signed the amended Letter of Agreement with U.S. Charge d’Affaires, Bryan Hunt at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive.

“The Letter of Amendment (3.1) will ensure the continuation of support to

From left, U.S. Embassy’s Political and Economic Officer, James Burkjman; U.S. Embassy’s Coordinator of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Leon Carr; U.S. Charge d’Affaires, Bryan Hunt; Vice-President and Foreign Affairs Minister, Carl Greenidge; Permanent Secretary of the Public Security Ministry, Angela Johnson; and Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Foreign Service Officer 3, Esther Cuttings Guyana under the CBSI, and it will provide an additional

US$50,000 that will bring the total funds provided to Guyana, to date, to US$900, 000,” the Foreign Minister noted, adding that the monies are part of U.S. efforts to advance security and stability in the Caribbean.

Three programmes, currently implemented through the Public Security Ministry, will be funded from the most recent tranche. The first is the Law Enforcement Professionalism and Support Project, through which, according to Minister Greenidge,

“training is provided in the immigration procedures detection of fraudulent documents, identification and handling of suspicious persons, and other areas targeting illegal smuggling of aliens, narcotics, and other illegal goods across the borders of Guyana.”

The second project is directed towards counter-narcotics control capabilities, which, Greenidge said, will enhance Guyana’s ability to utilise inter-agency coordination, intelligence gather-

ing on transnational crimes, to improve performance in seizures, and eradication operations. Funding under this programme will be centralised to the provision of equipment and support for criminal intelligence units.

The third project relates to the rule of law and anti-corruption. This specifically targets judicial reform, improved prison operations, and forensic investigations.

In relation to the improved prison operations, Minister Greenidge expects the enhancements of skills, knowledge and ability of correction officials to manage a correctional system which contributes to public safety and positively affects the fight against transnational crimes.

On justice reform, the

programme, according to Greenidge, “provides training in areas such as judicial administration, case management, case-filing systems and anti-corruption, as well as transparency, and accountability of judicial sector institutions.” Finally, Minister Greenidge noted the forensic element would aid the Government of Guyana in advancing criminal investigations, and prosecution.

For his part, U.S. Charge d’Affaires, Bryan Hunt lauded the efforts of the David Granger Administration in developing a robust security sector. “President David Granger’s Administration has been clear in its political commitment to taking the steps necessary to ensure that Guyanese law enforcement agencies are able to prevent this country from being used as a safe-haven by international criminal elements.”

The senior U.S. Embassy official, in his address, noted the relationship between the lack of economic opportunities for youth, and the likelihood of youth pursuing criminal activities. “Repeated research has demonstrated that creating economic opportunity for young people is among the most important tools at our disposal to undermine effective recruitment by criminal organisations.”

To this end, he pointed to the collaborations between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Guyana’s Social Protection Ministry to expand programmes, which speak to providing work and life skills training for at-risk youth.

Venezuela/Guyana PetroCaribe deal not in jeopardy -says Agriculture Minister THE Guyana/Venezuela rice agreement under the PetroCaribe deal is not in jeopardy, and there is no question of Venezuela putting a halt on rice shipments before this year’s supply contract comes to an end in November, Agriculture Minister, Noel Holder told members of the Guyana Millers and Exporters Marketing Association yesterday.

The delegation was headed by Chairman of the Guyana Millers and Exporters Marketing Association, Dr. Peter De Groot, sought an update from the Minister as to whether the Guyana/Venezuela rice deal was in jeopardy.

The Minister explained that Guyana had varied from its schedule of shipments by increasing the rate of rice shipments.

This has caused problems at the receiving end in Venezuela, and Guyana has been asked to revert to the agreed schedule.

The total quantity under the existing contract will be accepted until the contract comes to an end in November.

The Venezuelan authorities have indicated to Guyana that they are prepared to discuss continued shipments of rice and other commodities as part of a revised agreement for 2016.

A high level team, inclusive of representatives from the Guyana Millers and Exporters Marketing Association, is expected to visit the Spanish speaking country shortly, to discuss the way forward for the supply of commodities in exchange

Mother of two granted $100,000 bail over drug trafficking A MOTHER of two minor children was yesterday granted $100,000 bail by Magistrate Ann McLennan on a drug trafficking charge.

Thirty-year-old Nadera Persaud made her appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on Saturday, July 11 at Lot 15 Norton Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, she had in her possession 25 grammes of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

Persaud was represented by attorney-at-law, Mr. Glenn Hanoman. He urged the court to consider bail on the special circumstances that the illegal substance was concealed in a house which Persaud was occupying along with other people.

The defence counsel argued that because his client was at home at that time, the police told her that she will be charged. He added that there was also a visually-impaired person in the house at that time.

The court heard that her husband who is the owner of a dredge was present in court to support his wife.

Bail was granted to Persaud on the grounds of the multiple occupancy of the home and the matter was put off to August 3.

Minister of Agriculture, Noel Holder (seated at centre) meeting with members of the Guyana Rice Millers and Exporters Marketing Association for oil under the PetroCaribe agreement.

“Venezuela has assured us that rice shipments from Guyana have not been stopped. However, the rate of supply has to be adjusted in keeping with the agreed schedule,” Minister Holder said.

Dr. Peter De Groot welcomed the announcement, alluding to the fact that the Association will be working collaboratively with the Guyana Government and Venezuela to ensure that all avenues are explored and that the present misconception is cleared.

The meeting was also attended by Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. George Jervis.

Ramjattan to target security issues in mining sector – ‘sweeps’ to be done regularly in hinterland MINISTER of Public Security (MOPS), Khemraj Ramjattan has given a commitment to target the security issues within the mining sector, following a meeting with members of the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA).

According to Minister Ramjattan, several issues affecting local miners were raised by the GGDMA, particularly the serious security issues facing the sector. The Minister noted that “there has been a high incidence of crime in the mining areas which has to do with a lot of illegal shops which serve as cover for unlawful activities.”

“SWEEPS” In an effort to tackle the high incidence of crime, Ramjattan pledged that there

will be more enforcement of the law along with the support of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in setting up what they call “sweeps”, on a regular basis.

The shops, he noted, “are used as cover for drugs, prostitution, which drive other illegal activities, weapons possession and also cause robberies in areas where mining is being done… shops should be landings next to the river… and the assistance of the GGMC will be needed because some mining officers have also been granting permission for shops.”

Furthermore, the matter of illegal shops as cover for unlawful activities will be tackled immediately in order to halt these expeditiously as possible, as they intend

to use the GGMC and the GGDMA to identify these shops.

FIREARM LICENCES In addition, Minister Ramjattan disclosed that he intends to review the number of firearm licences granted to miners who have not met the criteria to be in possession of a firearm licence. “I will review them when the time comes up at the end of the year, because once they’ve left the mining sector it should be taken back.”

In future they will be aiming towards granting firearm licences to legitimate miners, therefore they will move towards quickening the practice of individual licences and licences for private security personnel, as big mining companies and firms don’t want a private personal firearm, but would

rather a security licence.

The processing of these individual and security licences, due to elections earlier this year was halted.

However, the Minister of Public Security stated that “not because you’re an applicant you get one, there is a big criteria that has to be met which is paying taxes, along with good behaviour within the sector, which we intend to work more closely with the police division in the area for frequent updates.”

MONITORING ‘CHECKPOINTS’ Meanwhile efforts will also be made to enforce the traffic laws and monitoring the ‘checkpoints’ where trucks are over-laden to the extent where they destroy roads and in turn contribute to higher transport costs and loss of time.

Minister Ramjattan speaking to members of the media yesterday

“We remain committed towards the maintenance of hinterland roads, and the implementation of the rules and regulations, as it relates to the road us-

ers’ agreement, so that it can be enforced, so that the triple axle trucks that carry 150 and more litres of fuel could be brought to an end,” said the Minister.

Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean engage in Roundtable to Combat Child Labour DURING 1-3 July 2015, delegations from 25 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, concluded the activities of the Roundtable for SouthSouth Cooperation focused on the combat against child labour, with the signing of four formal agreements, the definition of 16 commitments for activities, and 50 expressions of interest for future collaboration.

According to ILO es-

timate, there are still 12.5 million children who work in the Latin American and Caribbean Region. During the inauguration of the event, Mr Salazar, ILO Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, emphasised that it is necessary to invest resources equivalent to 0.3% of GDP to eliminate child labour by 2025.

The Roundtable was held within the framework of the Regional Initiative: Latin America and the Caribbean free of Child Labour, which

was signed by the governments of the Region and supported by the ILO. The initiative seeks to accelerate the efforts to eliminate this practice.

The Brazilian Government convened the Roundtable as a part of the Brazil-ILO SouthSouth Cooperation Initiative.

South-South cooperation, implemented in a horizontal manner and promoting experience exchanges, the efficient use of available resources and international solidarity, is considered an important alternative at a time in which countries face the challenge to do more with less.

Ms Lisa Bryan Smart, Assistant Director, Economic Affairs Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade in Jamaica, shared her thoughts on the meeting. “I

found the meeting to be very useful, particularly within the context of discussing the issue of child labour through the modality of South-South Cooperation, which is emerging as a critical area of support for development. This approach to development is based on the notion that developing countries would benefit from collaborating around common problems and identifying relevant and cost effective solutions.”

The meeting participants exchanged ideas about strategies for resource mobilisation, as well as good practices and mechanisms that facilitate the implementation of SouthSouth cooperation initiatives.

The agenda included topics such as labour migration, youth employment, indige-

nous communities, schoolto-work transition, education, value chains, agriculture and information technology.

Ms. Adriana GeorgeSharpe, Assistant Director (Ag) of the Technical Cooperation Unit, Ministry of Planning and Sustainable Development, Trinidad and Tobago, stated “The Meeting provided opportunities to gain new learnings, share experiences, exchange best practices, and expand networks.”

The agreements that will be implemented in the next three to six months anticipate activities for the exchange of information and tools, training sessions, joint research, methodology transfer, and internships by specialists, among others.

Ms Marva Ximinnies,

Director, Child Labour Unit, Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Jamaica, said “Attending the workshop was a useful and worthwhile experience. I strongly feel that we are making progress and we should meet our target of a Child Labour Free Region.”

Mr Salazar emphasised the fact that the regional roundtable had been organised in Brazil, “a country with which the ILO has developed an important partnership. The Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) has contributed a significant quantity of resources for South-South cooperation, demonstrating leadership in these types of initiatives”.

The ILO Regional Director conducted his first official visit to Brazil after having assumed the role on June 1.

Pope Francis Fire leaves Morvant family homeless ‘did not chew coca in Bolivia’ Chewing of coca leaves is a centries-old tradition in the Andes

Pope Francis while on tour in South America

POPE Francis gave a good-humoured interview during his return flight from Paraguay.

Pope Francis has said he did not chew coca during his recent trip to Bolivia.

The Bolivian authorities earlier said the pontiff had requested to chew coca to help him cope with the effects of the high altitude in La Paz. The Pope made the remark when questioned by a journalist as to the secret of his energy during his South American tour, which ended Sunday.

Pope Francis said that mate, the traditional tea popular in his native Argentina, helped to keep him going.

“You wanted to ask me what is my drug of choice?

Well, mate helps me, but I haven’t tried coca; I want to make that clear,” said the Pope during the flight from the Paraguayan capital, Asunción, to Rome.

LUNG REMOVED Coca leaves, which are the raw ingredient for cocaine, are used legally for medical and religious purposes in Bolivia.

The leaves are chewed or brewed in teas, and work as a mild stimulant, helping also to alleviate nausea caused by high altitudes.

Bolivia’s left-wing President Evo Morales began his political life as the leader of the cocaleros, traditional coca leaf producers.

The pontiff, who had part of a lung removed when he was young, only stayed in the La Paz area, which lies 3,650m (12,000ft) above sea level, for about four hours.

Chewing coca leaves is a centuries-old tradition in the Andes.

He returned to Rome early yesterday after an eightday trip to Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay, some of Latin America’s poorest countries.

Pope Francis addressed inequality, poverty and indigenous rights during his South American tour.

Illegal immigrants seeking free HIV treatment

By Miranda LaRose

ILLEGAL and undocumented migrants are entering this country seeking free medical treatment, particularly for HIV, leading to a shortage of drugs.

The issue of shortage of drugs for HIV treatment was due to other Caricom nationals seeking free treatment in Trinidad and Tobago on short-term visits was one of the main reasons for the implementation of health cards to protect TT nationals, says Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan.

“Why do you think there is a shortage of HIV drugs and kits, and we have to be constantly buying it? The amount of HIV cases is not going up in the country. It is very, very minimal,” he said.

Of CARICOM nationals

and others working and residing legally in TT, he said, “All we ask is that they get a legal document from the Ministry of National Security to show that they work and reside here legally, and they will get a health card.”

Prior to former national security minister Gary Griffith demitting office, Khan said, the health and national security ministries were conducting a survey on nationals from other CARICOM territories using the HIV services in TT. “A significant number of Jamaicans were coming into the country for HIV drugs because they are getting it free,” he said. “It takes a lot of money to purchase the kits and drugs for HIV treatment.”

Some would come to access a six-month or threemonth treatment. Some other

persons would come to access the free treatment in T&T, he said, because they do not want to get the treatment in their own country because of the fear of stigmatisation.

When people claim there is a shortage of drugs and kits, he said, “the people who are legally entitled to use it are not getting it.”

There is a group, he said, that is agitating for Government to give health cards to everybody in TT who has HIV, even if they are illegal immigrants with HIV, so they can get free drugs. “One of the main reasons, why the health card is being put in place,” Khan said, “is because there is a lot of illegal and undocumented migrants coming in and using the HIV system free of cost. That is the whole idea behind this heath card, you know.”

He continued, “Our citizens and legal residents are

Carl Ellis (right) pleads for help for his family after their home at Chinapoo, Morvant, was destroyed by fire Sunday

By Darcel Choy SIXTY-four-year-old Carl Ellis does not know where he and his family will rest their heads in the coming days after they lost their home to a fire in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Ellis told Newsday Sunday that the fire started at about 2 am at their home on Crichlow Hill, Chinapoo, Morvant. He said his nephew awoke and smelled the smoke and alerted the family.

“By the time I got up, the front room was already gone, so we just ran out with what we had on and watched the house burn,” he said.

Ellis lived in the house with five other relatives,

including two children aged 12 and eight.

“I don’t know what we are going to do now; the clothes I am wearing now is what I got from a neighbour.

If I wasn’t living good with my neighbours, I would not have had anything to wear today,” he said.

The home is more than 80 years old, and the family was left wondering what caused the fire.

Fire officials told them they were still doing their investigations to determine what caused the blaze, but the family said it could not be electrical, as they have not had electricity for several months.

The family was visited by officials of the San Juan/

Laventille Regional Corporation, who brought two cases of water and bread.

The family said they were hoping to get mattresses yesterday.

“We really need help, because we don’t have anywhere to sleep; and that could be our situation for weeks,” Ellis said.

This was the second fire in the area in the last three days, as a house lower down the hill was destroyed on Saturday morning.

One relative, Patsy Banfield, said they were appealing to the various agencies for assistance.

“We need to rebuild as soon as possible, so we need the necessary help,” she said. (newsday.co.tt)

entitled to free service, not the whole world.” Government cannot give health cards carte blanche to everybody who comes with HIV, he said.

“People come here legally as visitors, and they enter the system. They come and say they come to visit their family and then tap into our resources.

They come through immigration because they cannot get it in their countries.” Health care to visitors and illegal immigrants, he said, will not be denied emergency service.

“They will get emergency service. They will not get things like a kidney transplant or a cardiac stent and bypass surgery unless it is an emergency or a life and death situation.

We will stabilise them, and then they could go back to their country, or, they could submit their travel medical insurance.”

The use of the health card, he said, “is going to force a lot

of people coming to Trinidad and Tobago to get medical insurance.”

Commenting on the 2014 Trinidad and Tobago Global AIDS Response Progress Report (GARPR), Khan said there has been a small increase in the number of HIV cases and zero increase in motherto-child transmission in TT. That does not mean that HIV cases have increased in more recent years, he said. Asked about the absence of statistics for the past two years in GARPR, which reported an increase from 2011 to 2012, Khan said, “We have been having some trouble with the HIV Response Team.” The ministry, he said, has a lot of information that has not been relayed to UNAIDS. “I have to blame the people in charge of HIV; I don’t submit the numbers. They submit the numbers; I sign off on them,” he said. He advised that Newsday

contact Chief Medical Officer, Dr Colin Furlonge, whom he said, was in charge of the HIV programme.

At press time, calls and messages to Furlonge were unanswered. Some key personnel, Khan said, have left the HIV agency, and because of that, the ministry has asked the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) to assist with a consultant to develop the HIV portfolio that will bring all the HIV systems in one place in TT. “HIV needs to be totally managed from the Ministry of Health. There are other ministries doing HIV, not just the Ministry of Health alone,” he said.

Among the other ministries dealing with HIV are the Labour Ministry, he said “and the HIV Agency which was very active in the past, but has not been very active in the last years or so.” (newsday.co.tt)

EDITORIAL Social Cohesion THE Ministry of Social Cohesion has announced that it is ready to start its work with a Stakeholders Roundtable discussion on September 3.

This is a brand new Ministry whose charge is not yet quite clear to the public. As we understand it, the Ministry was created to advance cohesion among the diverse groups in our society. Of course, one cannot speak of cohesion without an acknowledgement of diversity and fragmentation.

So the creation of this ministry is a very bold step.

It is the first time that a Government has moved beyond rhetoric to actually tackle the problem of diversity and cohesion institutionally. President Granger promised to deal with this issue and he must be congratulated for remaining true to his word.

The Minister, Ms. Amna Ali, has said that social cohesion is not confined to ethnicity; it is being broadened to include other forms of difference, such as religious and social. While we welcome this broad conceptualisation, we feel that special emphasis has to be

placed on ethnic cohesion.

Ours is an ethnically plural society with the different groups arriving at different times and under different circumstances. Hence the challenge to construct a national compact in which these groups could find common purpose and aspiration. While ethnicity is not our only problem, to downplay its salience would be tragic.

If social cohesion is to become a reality, it has to be premised on social equality and justice. The biggest obstacle to a national compact is the endemic

ethnic and socio-economic inequality that exists in our country. That has to be tackled head on. We often think that cohesion must mean the melting away of differences. But experience has taught us differently.

Difference is part of the human experience. It is when difference is transformed into otherisation that social relations spin out of control.

The other plank on which Social Cohesion must be premised is reconciliation. While we in Guyana have not descended into the mindless and ceaseless violence that bedevil other

GUYANA

plural societies, we have had our experiences of intolerance and triumphalism.

The Ministry of Social Cohesion should include in its work some innovative initiatives aimed at addressing the issue of reconciliation.

Reconciliation should not be misunderstood to mean erasing the past or ignoring our fractures. Rather it must mean engaging that past with the objective of

learning its lessons.

Finally, the work of the Ministry would be useless if its target is the elites or stakeholders. The real stakeholders are the ordinary citizens in their communities. If they are not engaged in framing their own destiny, then the efforts at cohesion would be mere routine formality.

Over to you, Minister Ali.

Craig man slapped with two counts of murder in suspected ‘hits’ THE suspect in the deadly Republic Park shooting was yesterday brought before Magistrate Ann McLennan and slapped with a series of charges.

Orpheus Johnson of Second Street, Craig Vil-

lage, East Bank Demerara was charged with two counts of murder and was not required to plead to neither of the charges, one of which said on Sunday, June 21 at Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, he mur-

EDITOR’S NOTE: This newspaper carried a letter in Sunday’s edition (July 12th, 2015) which questioned whether U.S. Charge d’Affairs in Guyana, Mr Bryan Hunt, was overstepping his boundaries as a foreign diplomat with regard to comments being made relating to issues of national concern.

In retrospect, the letter’s content was inflammatory and ought to have benefited from more astute editorial judgment.

The views expressed in the letter, written by a former electoral candidate, are not the views of this newspaper. The letter can be reasonably construed as an attack on several diplomatic missions in Guyana and the Heads of those missions.

The Guyana Chronicle sincerely and unreservedly apologises for the publication of the letter in the form it was published. No attack, deliberate or otherwise, on any diplomatic mission was intended.

Further, the Guyana Chronicle welcomes the bold and definitive statements, particularly that of Mr Hunt with regard to the threat to Guyana’s sovereignty. This newspaper also welcomes the support for Guyana’s territorial integrity from the regional and international community.

This newspaper also re-commits to exercising more conscientious editorial judgment with regard to the publication of letters which are received and which contain inflammatory content.

dered Travis Rudder Snr. Particulars of the other murder charge said on Wednesday, April 22 at Agricola, on the East Bank of Demerara, he murdered Gladstone George.

The twenty-eight-yearold pork-knocker was also charged with a third offence, to which he was not required to plead. It is alleged that on January 22 at Caneville, also on the East Bank of Demerara, being armed with a gun he robbed Collin Headley of $55,000 in cash.

It was further alleged that on Saturday, June 20 at Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara, Johnson broke and entered the dwelling house of Miguel Benjamin and stole one semi-automatic pistol and seventeen matching rounds of ammunition, together valued $403,000.

This charge was also laid indictably.

Johnson pleaded not guilty to two charges, one of which said on Sunday, July 5 at Stabroek Market Area, Georgetown, he had in his possession one 9mm pistol, when he was not a

holder of a firearm licence.

Details of the other summary charge stated that on the same day at Stabroek Market area, Georgetown, he had in his possession eighteen 9mm live rounds of ammunition when he was not a licensed firearm holder.

The father of one was represented by attorney-at-law, Mr. George Thomas, who told the court that his client does not pose a flight risk and has no pending matter in court.

According to Thomas, Johnson has an alibi regarding the latter murder charge, which the defence will be pursuing. The lawyer urged the court to consider that it is a case of mistaken identity and asked for a short date for trial. He further stated that Johnson was in custody prior to last Sunday and received an injury to his right hand, stating that he was being mistreated by the police.

Meanwhile, Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones confirmed that the police had applied to the High Court for an extension of time in

keeping Johnson in custody, which was granted.

The murder charge for the killing of George and unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition were transferred before Magistrate Judy Latchman for July 27.

Two other matters, involving the robbery under arms and the break and enter and larceny of soldier Benjamin’s home, where he allegedly stole the semi-automatic pistol with matching ammunition were transferred before Magistrate Fabayo Azore for the same day.

However, the murder involving Rudder Snr. was transferred to Court One for July 29.

According to reports, 26-year-old Rudder was killed in his bed after a gunman pumped 18 bullets into his body through a bedroom window of his home.

The mother of Rudder’s child, Mawanza Gill, who was residing with him, was shot seven times, with four bullets hitting her in one leg and another three in the other leg. The couple’s eigh-

teen-month-old baby, Travis Rudder, Jnr. was injured in the shooting, receiving five bullets about his body.

Rudder appeared in the news back in 2007 when he was just 17 and was accused of shooting to death his then girlfriend, 14-year-old Donnis King of Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara.

The man was, however, found not guilty of manslaughter or murder by a jury in a trial presided by Justice Dawn Gregory in 2011, when the judgment was handed down.

Back in 2011, the court was told by the defence attorney that the accused and the young lady were at home, and that he was playing with his .38 revolver when it accidently went off. The court was also told that the young man never intended to injure the woman, since he had no reason to do so.

The prosecution, however, had stated that the man and the woman were having an argument over infidelity when he shot her.

Firefighters battle four separate fires in Regions 3 & 4

Public Security Minister, Khemraj Ramjattan speaks to ‘A’ Division Commander, Clifton Hicken in the presence of Fire Chief, Marlon Gentle and Deputy Superintendent of Police, Anthony Vanderhyden at the scene of the Tiger Bay fire

THE Guyana Fire Service had its work cut out yesterday after they were forced to respond to four separate fires in Regions 3 and 4, less than a day after the catastrophic fire Sunday morning that destroyed a complex at Camp and Robb Streets.

There was a fire yesterday morning at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo which left some five persons homeless.

According to Fire Chief Marlon Gentle, initial investigations point to the blaze being started maliciously following a dispute over the property.

He added that after the

Fire Service received the call about the fire they responded with a tender from the Leonora Fire Station. As the firefighters were wrapping up their work at the Tuschen scene a call came through about another fire at Crane Housing Scheme which left another five persons home-

Gentle said that the initial investigations at the Crane fire indicated that it was electrical in origin and might have started in the roof of the upper flat of the two-storey building.

He confirmed that no one was at home at the time

Mrs. Hernandez who turned 102 on December 2, 2014, except for having lost her vision and eventually be-

ing confined to bed, continued to enjoy average health until a few months ago.

She began experiencing discomfort and was admitted to the Mabaruma Hospital were she spent a few days after a swelling was detected in her feet. After a few

been set as persons reported seeing someone exiting the building and shortly after fire was seen coming from the lower flat.

The upper flat of the two-storey building was used to keep church service on Sundays and the police also used it as a resource centre for community outreach activities.

A section of the lower flat of the building is reportedly occupied by two customs brokers and it was not clear if any of them was in the building at the time of the fire.

Meanwhile, Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan was also present at the scene along with Police ‘A’ Division Commander Assistant Commissioner of Police, Clifton Hicken and other senior police ranks.

The Minister was heard lamenting about the loss and damage of proprieties as a result of the recent fires.

While firefighters were battling the blaze in Tiger Bay, colleagues from the Mahaica Fire Station were forced to respond to a fire at Melanie Damishana Public Road, East Coast Demerara where a small dwelling place was on fire.

North West centenarian dies THE North West Region’s oldest recorded centenarian, Mrs. Bibiana Hernandez passed away at her Bumbary Hill home, Mabaruma Sub-Region, last Friday, at age 102.

“Mama”, as she was affectionately called, suc-

the fire started and when the tenders arrived at the scene, one from Leonora and another from West Ruimveldt in Georgetown, the entire roof of the house was already collapsing.

Four persons lived in the lower flat of the building while a pensioner, aged 71, lived in the upper flat. The man, Leonard A. Innis, was not at home at the time of the fire. He told this newspaper that he was at the U.S. Embassy when the fire started and it was only after he returned home at approximately 10:30 am that he saw the street filled with people and was informed that his house was on fire.

According to elderly man, the house is owned by his nephew who resides overseas. Asked about his next move, the man said that he would be sleeping at his sister for the time being. He could not say if the building was insured.

And yesterday afternoon the Fire Service was again forced to go into operation at Rosemary Lane, commonly called Tiger Bay, where a resource centre was gutted.

Initial investigations suggested that the fire might have

days, she was discharged and returned home where she succumbed last Friday.

Born on the Barima River Bank, she was married to Diaz Hernandez and they eventually migrated to Bumbary Hill, just off Hosororo Hill where they continued

to live for the remainder of their lives. He succumbed several years ago.

Devout Roman Catholics, their union produced eight children in whose lives they instilled similar virtues. At the time of her death, Mama was residing with her grandson, Paul Hernandes, his wife Edna and their children,

but shared the love and warmth of the entire family of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and others, numbering dozens.

Mrs. Bibiana Hernandez will be buried at her homestead on Friday.

The Guyana Chronicle extends profound sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

EU Ambassador outlines actions to alleviate suffering of migrants in the Mediterranean THE number of migrants to have arrived in Italy by boat this year passed 50,000 at the weekend, as over 5,800 people were rescued in the Mediterranean.

A total of 3,480 people were rescued on Saturday from 15 separate boats that set off from Libya, and more rescues were ongoing on Sunday. The international effort involved the Italian authorities and naval ships from the UK, Ireland and Germany.

It has been one of the busiest weekends so far this year for rescues in the Mediterranean, the start of an uptick over the summer months as people-smugglers take advantage of calm seas.

As of Thursday the Italian interior ministry had registered 48,905 arrivals, meaning the total for 2015 is now above 50,000.

Following in a message from the European Union Ambassador in Guyana on the crisis: The issue of the Mediterranean migrant crisis has received extensive international attention, and the tragic loss of lives in the Mediterranean that has resulted from criminal organisations profiting from migrant smuggling and human trafficking has shocked Ambassador the world. I would like to take Robert Kopecky this opportunity to outline the actions the European Union is taking in order to alleviate the situation. The most immediate objective of the EU's policy on migration is to save lives and prevent the exploitation of migrants.

An important dimension of ending the current tragic situation is to strengthen EU search and rescue operations. To this end, the EU has tripled the capacity and budget for search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean. These operations are already bearing fruit - in May 2015, 188 search and rescue operations were conducted, with 30,700 migrants rescued at sea. Despite the 25% increase in arrivals, in comparison to 2014, the number of deaths in May 2015 has decreased to 95, significantly lower compared to 329 in the same month last year. Furthermore, in May 2015, the EU decided to establish a military crisis management operation to provide surveillance and intelligence-sharing assessments for potential operational

engagement against people smuggling in the south-central Mediterranean. This operation is designed to contribute to the disruption of human smuggling and trafficking networks by undertaking systematic efforts to identify, capture and dispose of vessels and assets used or suspected of being used by smugglers or traffickers. The processing of persons rescued at sea in accordance with international law and respect for human rights is a fundamental aspect of the operation.

While an important dimension of efforts to resolve this crisis is law enforcement and judicial cooperation, we also recognise that migration is a multifaceted phenomenon. It involves aspects of economic and political stability, human rights, security, crisis management, conflict prevention, peace

part of combating illegal migration and will help discourage people from risking their lives.

Respect for migrants and refugees is a key component of EU policies and in the past decade we have advanced policies on protecting migrants’ rights. Equality is enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU which apply both to EU citizens and to non-EU nationals. The EU has also implemented unparalleled standards on social security rights for migrants and is committed to fighting racism, xenophobia and discrimination against migrants or of persons from migrant backgrounds, smuggling and trafficking in persons.

It is through these multifaceted and comprehensive

HINDS’SIGHT

The lonely crusade of Courtney Crum-Ewing’s mother - in a place of short memory Dr. David Hinds

By Dr. David Hinds

A

FEW weeks ago I was approached by slain activist Courtney Crum-Ewing’s mother. She asked me to use my voice to help bring justice for her son. I was humbled by her request. She spoke in a quiet and dignified tone, but her frustration was evident. As I stood there for those few minutes I saw visions of my own mother having that conversation with someone.

That short exchange forced me later that night to reflect on my own participation in protest politics which started some four decades ago. My mind went way back to that day when I was part of a small group of mainly mid-teen boys which listened to a talk by Dr. Walter Rodney at the then County High School in Buxton, which was run by Bro Eusi Kwayana.

I remember going away from that talk with a new sense of excitement. Walter had told us, little boys, that we could be shapers of history. I had not heard that before. I approached my Aunt Cecilia, my guardian, and told her I had heard this man, Dr. Rodney, and I liked what I heard and would like permission to join “the thing”. She had not heard of Dr. Rodney, but her response was swift: “So long is Teacher Sydney (Bro Eusi) think you can join up.” From that moment I officially became an activist.

The journey from then to now has been an interesting one. I have taken my activism seriously. For me, activism is the essence of political participation. But, I never really thought of the impact of my activism on my immediate family. The conversation with Courtney’s mother has changed that; I now think about it constantly. I would never forget the look on her face that night as she spoke with me on her way out of the venue in Georgetown where a group of us had met to celebrate the birthday of a young activist, Norwell Hinds.

Her voice was my mother’s voice.

My sister-comrade, Karen DeSouza, recently told an interviewer that during the heady days of our activism, fear was not a factor for us. She is right; we never thought of fear.

We were changing the world. And that act is incompatible with fear. But, unlike Courtney, we are alive - thankfully.

Courtney Crum Ewing is dead; he has been for three months

now.

On Friday last, I briefly joined a picketing exercise mounted by his parents and friends at the corner of Middle and Carmichael streets to draw attention to the fact that there is still no justice for Courtney. As I approached the picket line, I was struck by the small number of picketers. Then I saw Courtney’s mother standing in the line, picket in hand.

media, it seems, could not be bothered; they were absent.

Oh what a place of short memory!

Will there be justice for Courtney Crum Ewing? I am told his partisan preference was the AFC. We know he died urging support for the APNU+AFC Coalition. The Coalition is in office now. Courtney’s killers are walking free. Why must the blood of poor people always be shed in vain?

Courtney Crum-Ewing’s mother, Donna Harcourt

‘KILLED’: Courtney Crum-Ewing I went straight to her and apologised for not yet honouring my promise to do something to highlight her plight. She understood - I think. This column is part of honouring that promise I made to her.

I could have been in Courtney’s place. Many of us could have been in that grave. So in highlighting Courtney’s case, we are highlighting the plight of all activists. The few of us on that picket line looked like a lonely bunch. Others passed in their cars or on foot and a few curiously looked at us.

One or two stopped to enquire what the picket was about.

The majority went about their business as if we didn’t exist.

Absent was the huge crowd that attended Courtney’s funeral.

The politicians were nowhere in sight. It felt lonely. The

I stole a few glances at Courtney’s mother and I saw the loneliness in her demeanour. It could have been my mother in her place. I walked across to her again and asked if she and her husband would appear on Cuffy250’s TV show, African Drums, heard on Channel 9 on Sundays at 8pm, to speak about justice for her son. She agreed. I have arranged for the interview to be aired this Sunday.

At Ethiopia Conference on Financing…

President Granger champions global action for sustainable development

By Derwayne Wills ON Saturday, President David Granger left the shores of Guyana for Ethiopia as chief of the Guyana delegation to the Third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa, the centre of Ethiopia’s economic and political life.

“This Third International Conference on Financing for Development… must make a fundamental contribution to the thrust towards greater global cooperation,” Presi-

dent Granger told the opening plenary of conference in his address yesterday, “as we embark on an ambitious and transformative post-2015 development agenda that will seek to ensure that no country or no community is left behind.”

The President addressed a gathering, which included United Nations (UN) Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon; Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, Hailemariam Desalegn; and other distinguished guests and foreign

heads of mission.

“We must renew global solidarity and our collective will to resolve global problems in a timely and effective manner,” President Granger noted. “If we are serious about sustainable development, then we must be serious in our quest for mitigating the effects of climate change.”

The President called on stakeholders to realise the goal of their efforts in delivering a desirable future for the world. “The enterprise of development must count on

the contribution of all segments of the society. It must empower local communities and harness the talents of the people, especially women and youth,” President Granger said, noting that governments cannot act alone in executing actions and in-

is possible when the international community work together.”

“We must be ready to respond to the demands of our times,” Mr Granger said, reasoning, “This requires making the investments to incentivise an irreversible paradigm shift

President David Granger addressing the conference in Addis Ababa yesterday vestments.

The 2015 mark for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has passed, and the global agenda has shifted to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are the universal goals that UN member states will pursue for the next 15 years in framing their agendas and policies.

While commending countries that have successfully undertaken the millennium goals, President Granger cautioned, “The achievement of the sustainable development goals will place heavy demands upon all countries.”

Mr Granger noted this as a reflection on the global effort to achieve the MDGs, adding, “Significant progress

in favour of sustainable development. It requires, also, a commitment to complete the unfinished work of the MDGs, including education, health, water and sanitation, and food security.”

“Guyana is a small state that is committed to sustainable development,” President Granger said in his address, “Ours has been a long and arduous quest to secure a good life for all our people. Our experiences have reinforced our resolve to build a more resilient economy, a more inclusionary democracy and a more cohesive society.”

While denouncing what he called “the common enemies of our people, including crime, disease, ignorance and poverty,” President Grang-

er took the opportunity to “resent, reject and resist the threat or use of force or any unilateral coercive attempt by one state against another in order to frustrate the legitimate aspirations of our people to enjoy a good life.”

The President noted the correlation of security and stability to the sustainable development of a nation, for which, “the tenets of international law must be guaranteed to all states and peoples in the quest for secure livelihoods and sustainable development.”

President Granger extended solidarity to the African continent and all countries in the quest for sustainable development, and called for the commitment of states in searching for solutions to global challenges.

The Head of State lauded the commitment of the international community for establishing a dedicated forum “within the United Nations to deliberate on the follow-up of issues for financing and development.”

He noted this as particularly important to Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which account for Guyana, Suriname, and most of the Caribbean. “For our Region, the issue of debt is of particular concern, as are the terms of trade which often work against the interests of small states.”

The Third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, will conclude on Friday, and President Granger noted the importance of the forum is three-fold: expressing global confidence in multilateralism; recognising the collective exercise of political will of member states in citizenry development; and shaping the future for coming generations to inherit.

Teachers being equipped for music programme in primary schools

By Shivanie Sugrim THE Ministry of Education yesterday launched a fourweek music workshop for primary school teachers with the aim of building capacity and developing the necessary skills to effectively deliver a music programme in primary schools.

The launch of the workshop was staged at the Theatre

Guild Playhouse and saw 62 out of 161 teachers representing schools located in Regions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9. The workshop will commence early August with a total of sixty contact hours.

Brief remarks were delivered by Minister of Education, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine and Chief Education Officer, Mr. Olato Sam who both underscored the relevance of music in schools and the value of teachers in delivering this initiative.

No decision yet ‘when and if’ PPP/C will be taking up seats this sitting - Rohee - says its ‘untrue’ Nandlall is nominee for position of Deputy Speaker THE Opposition PPP/C is still not sure when they

General Secretary Clement Rohee

will be entering Parliament but they have identified a candidate for the position of Chief Whip but no one has been nominated so far as Deputy Speaker.

General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, speaking yesterday at his weekly press briefing at Freedom House, said “The Party is not sure when they will be entering Parliament and yes we have identified a candidate for Chief Whip but no one has been identified for the position of Deputy

Speaker.”

Rohee told media operatives yesterday that an article which appeared in the Guyana Times citing former Attorney General, Anil Nandlall as the nominee for the position of Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly is “untrue”.

The General Secretary said that the Party has identified a nominee for the Chief Whip position but he refused to give a name, adding that time will soon reveal the person.

Rohee when questioned

whether the Party will be attending the next sitting of the National Assembly on July 30, said, “No decision has been taken as yet as to when and if we will be taking up the seats for this sitting.”

Rohee said when the PPP decides to return to Parliament, it might be a “Holy Thursday”. The party has named their list of candidates to serve as Members of Parliament and have submitted that list to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

Speaking to the first group of teachers to be engaged in this enrichment plan, Dr. Roopnaraine stressed the significant role teachers have in carrying out this approach as their task is central to the development of the education sector.

“We must stop undervaluing our teachers since they are associated with our children’s upbringing,” said the Education Minister.

Teachers once upheld high standards that have evidently deteriorated over the years. However, since assuming office, Dr. Roopnaraine has promised to work with all stakeholders in a serious and systematic way to restore pride in the profession.

He urged the teachers to concentrate on elevating this programme since it is a well-tested method in ensuring students are well rounded. Keeping in mind that the education sector is faced with a number of constraints, the Minister said he is prepared to “fight” for proper budget distributions for the sector, come September.

Dr. Roopnaraine said that at the end of this programme he is hoping an advanced agenda will be established for improving the delivery of music in schools.

Meanwhile, the Chief Education Officer in his brief remarks reiterated similar sentiments and noted also that teachers are among the most creative and talented individuals in our society, and are most suitable for this new education component.

Highlighting the fact that music at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations has been a dwindling factor over the years, Assistant Chief Music Examiner for CSEC, and facilitator of this initiative, Mr. Paul Cort said that Guyana has not been performing well in music over the years.

Therefore, to combat this problem, Cort said this workshop will endeavour to help students develop an appreciation for music and awaken creativity and critical thinking that will ultimately lift their performance at the examinations.

Pork-knocker tossed firearm into a trench during police patrol exercise - court hears A THIRTY-year-old pork-knocker, who allegedly tossed a firearm into a trench during a police patrol exercise last Thursday, was yesterday brought before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer related charges.

Orin David of Lot 89 Laing Avenue, Georgetown, was remanded to prison by Magistrate Ann McLennan after pleading not guilty to the charge read to him. The particulars said that on Thursday, July 9 at Laing Avenue, he had in his possession one handgun, when he was not a licensed firearm holder.

He also pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on the same day at Laing Avenue, he also had in his possession 12 matching live rounds of ammunition, when he was not a licensed firearm holder.

David who was unrepresented told the court that on the night in question he was stopped and searched by ranks on a routine exercise. According to David he was placed by the ranks to sit in a police van and two to three hours later, the police came with a gun and said they found it in a trench and it belonged to him.

However, the prosecution’s facts related to the court

by Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones was contrary to the defendant’s explanation. The court heard that police were on a routine patrol when they saw the driver of the car tossing the weapon into the trench.

Bail was refused and the matter stands adjourned to July 30 for report.

Bodies of decomposed mother and child at Golden Grove identified

By Leroy Smith THE woman and her child whose decomposed bodies were found at their lot 408 Section 3, Block ‘Y’ Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara home on Friday evening have been identified.

The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed yesterday by relatives that the woman’s name is Eulenea Charles but the name of her baby girl, believed to be about three months old, was not immediately available.

Charles who is of Amerindian descent hailed from Mabaruma, North West District, Region 1. The woman who recently gave birth to her latest baby also has a Facebook page and from her profile it was evident that her last post on the social media platform was on June 23, 2015.

Her spouse whose name was given as Selvon Charter is said to be in the interior location and may not necessarily be aware of this unfortunate development.

Meanwhile, a check of the man’s Facebook page found that he has posted up photographs of the now dead woman and child, referring to them as his “loving and beautiful family.” The man’s last Facebook post was on June 17, 2015.

Eulenea is said to have a tattoo on her right forearm with

The dead child some artwork and the letter P. ‘A’ Division Commander, Clifton Hicken said yesterday that the police had not yet identified the woman and her child so an autopsy cannot be performed.

The postmortem is expected to be performed sometime later this week.

Early Saturday morning the police responded to concerns of residents at Grove, East Bank Demerara who said they were experiencing a stench coming from the woman’s residence.

They also told the police that they had not seen the woman and her baby for several days.

Now or Never man dies in car crash …following drinking spree

RAYAN Singh, 25 years, of Now or Never, was killed Sunday evening in a car crash moments after he and some friends took a break from their drinking spree to drop off some money to someone a few villages away.

According to the man’s brother-in-law, a group of friends were drinking at Singh’s house and then they all boarded

Dead Rayan Singh

motor car HB 5635 to go and drop off the cash.

Singh and four other men, including Rawle Chichester who is said to be the owner of the car, were involved in the crash just after moving off from the house.

According to reports, all of the men were at the time under the influence after a rum drinking session, which was not a special celebration.

The Guyana Police Force in a press statement yesterday said that the now deceased Singh was the driver at the time of the crash but family members disagree.

The car crashed into a concrete fence while negotiating a turn at Now or Never, Mahaicony Region 5, and was said to be going at a very fast rate.

Police sources who are close to the investigation said when ranks arrived on the scene the smell of alcohol was extremely high.

One of Singh’s friends in a Facebook post expressed sadness at the news of his passing. “Just moments ago, we chatted, we took a few shots.. now u dead buddy.. I cry not because of the bond we share but because life can be so uncertain and unfair.. RIP buddy.”

The police said that the accident occurred at approximately 19.45 hrs and Singh was rushed to the Mahaicony Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The four other persons who were in the car were also treated for injuries and two of them had to be transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.

The man’s wife of five years was too traumatised yesterday to speak with this publication. Singh, a sawmill worker, leaves to mourn his wife, a four-year-old daughter and his father, along with other relatives.

An autopsy is expected to be done tomorrow while police continue their investigations into the accident.

Troy Resources first gold pour set for mid-October

By Clifford Stanley THE Australian Mining company Troy Resources Inc. last week reported that its first gold pour at its Karouni Gold Project, Region 7 (Cuyuni/Mazaruni) will take place in mid-October.

In an update on operational activities at Karouni as at the end of June, the Company related that the month had been an extremely busy period as the construction team of over 500 employees and contractors worked through heavy seasonal rainfall to push completion of the plant as far as possible.

The Company disclosed that inevitably, under these conditions, there had been some difficulties that the team had to address, including the Mill installation in particular, as well as delays experienced in clearing goods and containers held at the port.

“Whilst this process has improved,” Troy reported, “we are currently waiting on the last few containers and pallets of equipment and reagents held at the wharf to be cleared.”

The Company disclosed that whilst the recent difficulties with the Mill installation and delays in clearing goods through Georgetown Port were disappointing, the fact that this fasttrack construction project had been conducted with very few serious health and safety incidents stood as a noteworthy achievement.

All site infrastructure work is complete and all the Administration buildings are functioning and all logistics relating to refining, security and transportation arrangements have been put in place.

At the end of June, the only major items that were still under construction were the Mill and the equipment known as the Thickener, with all the other major components and site facilities ready for power connection and commissioning.

The Company disclosed that with the prospect of better weather on the horizon and the entire focus of the construction crew on the few remaining major tasks to get the plant into full operation, the target now is to start wet commissioning in early September.

The first gold pour is now expected to occur approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the start of wet commissioning.

Guyana/Venezuela controversy…

Judicial action could be next best option - Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge

By Derwayne Wills

THE Good Offices Process of mediating the border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela has run its course, and Guyana’s next best option is judicial decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

This is according to Vice-President and Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge, who explained to reporters yesterday, “At this point, we have indicated, as has been indicated by the previous Government, that the process of Good offices has run its course.” “It can’t take us anywhere constructive,” he added.

The Minister’s reasoning is that the new claim made by the Venezuelan President through Decree 1859, might not fall within the ambit of the Good Offices Process.

“As far as I’m concerned, the passage of a decree, on the basis of criteria unknown anywhere else in the world, unilaterally laying claim to maritime space, is [not] one the Good Officers Process can resolve,” Minister Greenidge said.

“That is because the determination and delineation of maritime boundaries is specifically within the competence of other UN agencies such as the Commission dealing with the Law of the Sea,” he continued.

Venezuela, however, is not a party to the United Nations Vice-President and Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge Affairs Ministry Convention on the Law of the Sea, which empowers the Law of the Sea Commission referred to by the Foreign Minister.

“The feeling is that it [the Good Offices Process] has evolved, [and] it has served as a cover, not deliberately on the part of the UN of course, but it has served as a cover under which Guyana’s sovereignty has been threatened to the point where even the EEZ [Exclusive Economic Zone] has been claimed.

“Conciliation [through the Good Offices Process] has been exhausted. I don’t know what else we can do in terms of media-

Chief Constable ou facing City C

By Ravin Singh CHIEF Constable at the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) in Georgetown, Andrew Foo, yesterday outlined the many challenges facing the department, most of which he noted can be addressed by the City Council.

The disclosures were made yesterday at a press conference held in the office of the Chief Constable at City Hall.

At present, the department is celebrating its 178th Anniversary, with a number of events planned for the week. In that light, the option of having Foo deliberate on the performance and challenges facing the department over the years, was explored.

According to the head of department, the constabulary which coincidently comprises 178 sworn officers, and 65 auxiliary security guards, has not been able to fully make the impact which was intended, due to challenges and constraints, including the lack of human and other resources.

He noted that challenges have been met during their recruitment efforts, since that arm of law enforcement is competing with both the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Defence Force – both of which are fortunate enough to offer better conditions in terms of uniform and facilities to their recruits.

But the City Constabulary, he explained, over the years has not been able to make provision for those necessities.

Regarding the security of mandated perimeters, Foo lamented that this too had been a challenge for the officers who are in dire need of equipment and better facilities. But these, he said, could not have been addressed previously due to the financial state of the council.

“There’s also a need for the procurement of other items which are essential to policing. At the current moment, we’re confined to one vehicle for a 15 sq mile radius; one vehicle is not practical. So there’s a need for the Constabulary to have the resources to ensure that vehicular patrols are conducted,” the

15

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday July 14, 2015 General as having responsibility for pursuing the options of arbitration, mediation, and conciliation.” “And if one or more of these is exhausted,” Greenidge continued, “then it is he [UN Secretary General] who chooses the next option.”

Guyana, according to the Foreign Minister, has been engaged in conciliation for almost 25 years. The Good Offices Process also outlines arbitration, but Greenidge noted, “Arbitration was what we did in 1899. There was a treaty of 1897, and that treaty required the two parties to the Arbitration to agree beforehand that they would accept and implement the findings as being full, final and perfect.”

“Venezuela,” he continued, “signed such an agreement as an independent country, and today therefore, the option of arbitration can no longer be there.” When Guyana gained independence from the British Government in 1966, Venezuela had sought to reopen its claim to Guyana’s Essequibo Region, alleging that the 1899 Arbitral Award, which established the border between Guyana and Venezuela, was invalid.

“I believe there has to be a consensus,” Vice-President

responding to questions from the Press Corps in the Foreign tion, when you think about what’s been happening over the years.

The only option that is left would be for a judicial resolution of this matter.”

The Foreign Minister however noted that any option for judicial resolution taken at the level of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as prescribed under the United Nations Charter must come as a consideration from the Secretary General of the United Nations.

“The Geneva Agreement of 1966 identifies the Secretary

utlines challenges Constabulary Chief Constable told reporters yesterday.

Reiterating the need for uniforms to be provided for officers of the department, he noted that these decisions are entirely up to the council.

Foo explained that a lack of uniform forces the officers to execute their duties in “plain clothes” which puts them at a disadvantage.

According to him, the presence of an officer around the city in his or her uniform serves as a deterrent to persons attempting to commit an offence. As such, when they are forced to wear causal clothing, it is more likely Chief Constable of the that persons will feel free to City Constabulary at the act contrary to the law.

Georgetown Mayor and City Additionally, he ex- Council (M&CC), Andrew Foo plained that what has been felt over the years is that the Constabulary Department is not a priority. “I think some amount of priority should be given to the Constabulary department” he said, noting that when there is flooding, the Engineer’s Department is focused on heavily and allotted some amount of funds to counter the challenges they face.

However, the same courtesies are not extended to the Constabulary Department, Foo related.

As such, he opined that, “I’m hoping that the council moves in a direction where our needs are recognised and addressed so that as we execute our duties as mandated by law, we will be given the respect that we deserve.”

Greenidge said, when asked about the Good Offices Process, “The UN Secretary General will invite the parties to name one or two officers, and [the parties will] accept one that is named, and therefore that has to be done by way of consensus.”

As regards judicial action, Greenidge noted the Secretary General may opt for judicial action, but such action would depend on consensus from both parties, and the question placed to the judicial body by the Secretary General.

Guyana continues to make its case to the international community against acts of aggression by Venezuela under President Nicolas Maduro’s decree, which lays claim to Guyana’s Essequibo Region, as well as the maritime space off Guyana’s entire Atlantic Coast.

The CARICOM Heads of Government are expected to receive a report from the Foreign Affairs Ministry, according to Minister Greenidge, documenting Venezuela’s new decree. Meanwhile, President Nicolas Maduro has recalled Venezuelan Ambassador to Guyana, Reina Arratia Diaz, for consultations.

Criminal charges against Royston King withdrawn - soon to be appointed Town Clerk

By Telesha Ramnarine

The statutory meeting in full swing

THE Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has instructed the police to withdraw criminal proceedings that were made out against Public Relations Officer of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC), Mr. Royston King.

Mayor Hamilton Green yesterday made the announcement while noting that he saw no reason why King cannot now be installed as Town Clerk of the municipality. He was speaking at City Hall’s fortnightly statutory meeting.

Just recently, Minister of Communities, Mr. Ronald Bulkan reportedly delivered to the former controversial Acting Town Clerk, Ms. Carol Ryan Sooba, a letter which indicated that her services in that capacity were severed as of last July 7.

The City Council, some three years ago, had taken a decision to install King as Town Clerk, but then Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker had disregarded that decision and appointed Sooba instead. This was even as King secured the most points during the interviews that were conducted.

The Mayor yesterday explained that his intention was to write the Minister to “reaffirm” the decision that was earlier taken by the Council.

Councillor Junior Garrett suggested that the Mayor’s proposal be made into a Motion, and said he was willing to move it so that King could be installed immediately. Mayor Green, however, stood his ground, saying that he will first write to the Minister.

City Councillors have long argued that the Council has the power to make decisions that, in the end, just need the signature of the Minister. However, Whittaker, in rebuttal, had often told the press that while it was up to the Councillors to make suggestions, the Minister had the final say.

Meanwhile, Councillor Gladstone George disagreed with the Mayor and Councillors who supported King’s appointment, and stood up to say that according to the law, any position in the public service must be advertised and examined.

Furthermore, he said a committee must be set up to conduct interviews.

George vehemently argued that King must be made to face another interview, since three years have elapsed since the first set of interviews was done. Furthermore, he said after those interviews, someone other than King was appointed, meaning Sooba.

George’s remarks were, however, unsupported, and there appeared to be consensus among the majority of the Councillors present, with regards to the appointment of King.

King was the subject of an intense debate yesterday

By Clifford Stanley THE Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN) Guyana Chapter is once again staging environmental day camps for youths between the ages of 6 and 14 from Monday next during the current school holidays.

The network will hold a total of four day camps: two in Georgetown, one in Berbice and one in Linden, all under the theme: Shaping young eco-changemakers, Public Relations Officer Onika Stellingburg disclosed.

The first camp, named Camp Manatee, will be held

in Georgetown between July 20 and 24; the second, Camp Amazon Eco Warriors, will be held from July 27 to 31 also in Georgetown; the third camp, Camp Leatherback Turtle, will be held in Region 6 (East Berbice /Corentyne) from August 3 to 7; and the final camp for youngsters is to be held in Linden between August 10 and 14.

Stellingburg said that the programme is educational in nature and seeks to foster awareness of environmental issues and best practices among children.

The camps, she said, will give the participants a unique opportunity to

explore, challenge themselves, collaborate with others and discover the beauty of nature and caring for the environment in a fun and safe space.

It is the second such Environmental Day Camp initiative being held by the CYEN, the first one being held last year Topics to be covered throughout the programme include Pollution, Climate Change, the Three R’s of the Environment (Reduce, Re-use and Re-cycle), and programmes will feature full day sessions, both formal and informal.

She disclosed that as

part of a Regional network, the Guyana Chapter CYEN Guyana is a non-profit youth driven organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life of Caribbean youth by facilitating and promoting their personal development and full involvement in all matters pertaining to sustainable development.

The CYEN Guyana is committed to driving this process at the national level through the use of special-

ised educational and training programmes as well as community empowerment.

The CYEN Guyana sees these as critical prerequisites for developing an ethic amongst Guyanese youth that will assist in the protection of both human and natural resources, not only in Guyana, but also in the Wider Caribbean, Stellingburg said.

Interested parents who

17

wish to have their children participate in the camps are asked to contact CYEN members Ms. Cush, Tel # 601 4194, or Ms. Fortune 671 1847.

Parents are also invited to visit the CYEN website: www.cyen.org or E Mail the organisation at guyana@ cyen.org or become a Facebook fan at: https://www. facebook.com/CYENGuyanaChapter to learn more about the network.

Woolford gets 13 years for manslaughter over 2009 wife killing - provocation cited in her compromising position with ‘Andy’

By George Barclay MURDER accused, Charles Anthony Woolford allegedly murdered his wife Latoya in 2009 after finding her in a compromising position with a man named Andy.

Although this was not the State’s case but that of the accused who claimed that Andy was the man who committed the act, the jury nevertheless found that there was provocation and returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter.

Justice Brassington Reynolds accepted a plea in mitigation from Defence Counsel, Mr. Peter Hugh who said that the accused through no fault of his own was incarcerated for six years and had undergone three trials for the same offence.

Hugh also urged the judge to show by his sentencing that the jury’s verdict of manslaughter indicated that on the day in question the accused was ‘not master of his mind’ as a result of his discovery when he turned up home earlier than usual.

Leading Prosecutrix, Miss Mercedes Thompson noted that what the jury highlighted was not the State’s case, but she did not say whether she would recommend an appeal.

Justice Reynolds also noted that a life was lost and the Probation Report had indicated that the sentence should be a deterrent to would-be offenders.

The judge then said that he would begin his manslaughter sentence with 20 years and deduct six years for the time Woolford was incarcerated and another year in view of the mitigation plea by his lawyer. Therefore the prisoner was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment.

Woolford had on Sunday 8th February, 2009, at Georgetown murdered Latoya Woolford.

Following the sentence yesterday the mother of the manslaughter convict screamed out and had to be pacified while in the precinct of the court.

Stewartville man accused of killing father to know fate today BRAMANAND Singh, a goldsmith of Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, who allegedly killed his father in 2005, and was consequently charged with manslaughter, will know his fate today.

Defence counsel, Miss Sonia Parag and Prosecutrix, Miss Shawnett Austin yesterday, made their final addresses to the jury.

While the defence asked for an acquittal, the prosecution requested a verdict from the jury in keeping with the evidence and the oath they had taken.

Presiding Judge, Miss Roxane George this morning will sum up the evidence to the jury and hand the case to them for their consideration and verdict.

The accused yesterday elected to make a sworn statement from the witness box in which he testified that on the night of the incident, 2005, his father, Mansa Singh came home in a drunken state and was cursing.

The accused said that he advised him to ‘cool off’ in a chair downstairs and he went upstairs and fell asleep.

The following morning his father was found dead downstairs and he reported the matter to the police who subsequently charged him with manslaughter.

However, Singh maintained, “My father and I had no problem, I did not kill him.”

Gatlin ineligible for annual award, IAAF says

By Gene Cherry (REUTERS) - American sprinter Justin Gatlin could win world championships and go undefeated for a second consecutive season but he would still not be ineligible for the sport's Athlete-of-the-Year award, the IAAF said.

A change in selection criteria makes any athlete who has been sanctioned for a serious doping offence ineligible to be shortlisted for the honour, effective this year, International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) spokesman Nick Davies told Reuters in an email.

Gatlin, the fastest man over 100 and 200 metres in 2015, was banned for four years after a 2006 positive test for testosterone.

He has returned to the

Justin Gatlin

sport and is favourite to dethrone Jamaican world record holder Usain Bolt in both sprints at the world championships in Beijing in August.

Davies said the IAAF Council approved the change at a meeting last November on the recommendation of the IAAF Athletes Commission.

It came after uproar over Gatlin's inclusion on the top 10 male athletes of the year list for 2014 under existing rules.

The American was not among the three finalists for the honour which was won by French pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie.

"Several Council Members expressed concern that the IAAF could encounter legal challenges if the Athletes' Commission's recommendation that no athlete who has been sanctioned for a serious doping offence should be shortlisted for the Athlete of the Year award was approved," minutes from the meeting recorded.

"However, the majority of Council Members who took the floor supported this recommendation because it enhanced the credibility of the sport, it protected the rights of clean athletes and it assisted in further establishing inappropriate behaviour in the sport that would not be honoured by the IAAF in the future."

Britain's Sebastian Coe, running for the IAAF presidency along with fellow vice president Sergey Bubka, was among those unhappy about Gatlin's inclusion.

"I think you'd be pretty surprised if I did sit here and was sanguine about that," Coe said last year of Gatlin's inclusion on the top-10 list.

"I personally have big problems with it."

Gatlin, who earlier served a one-year suspension after testing positive in 2001 for an amphetamine contained in attention deficit disorder (ADD) medication he had taken since his youth, declined to comment on the criteria change.

He was honoured by USA Track & Field as its athlete of the week after his sizzling 200 metres time of 19.57 seconds at the U.S. world championships trials last month.

T&T brush aside Cuba to reach Gold Cup quarter-finals GLENDALE, Arizona (CMC) – Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors stormed into the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup when they posted their second successive win in Group C, with a 2-0 verdict over Cuba here Sunday night.

First-half goals from Sheldon Bateau and Andre Boucaud at the University of Phoenix Stadium were enough to see the Caribbean side through to the next round, with a game still left to play tomorrow against CONCACAF giants Mexico, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In the night’s other encounter, 10-man Guatemala shocked the Mexicans, hold-

ing them to a nil-all draw in the feature game of the double-header.

Jose Contreras was sent off in the 76th minute for a second bookable offense but remarkably Guatemala managed to hold Mexico at bay for the remainder of the game.

Mexico are second on four points, two behind T&T, while Guatemala lie third and Cuba last without a point.

Still riding high from their victory over Guatemala in their opening game last week, T&T struck early in the contest when Bateau converted in the 17th minute.

Lester Peltier’s initial shot was blocked by Cuba

goalkeeper Diosvelis Guerra but Bateau followed up to tuck home the rebound for his second goal of the tournament.

Two minutes before the break, T&T took the game by the scruff of the neck when Boucaud doubled their lead, firing in after Cuba’s captain Yenier Marquez directed a defensive header from a throw-in into his path, inside the box.

Cuba almost hit back immediately when Maikel Reyes produced an effort on goal only to find the chance denied by goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams, who was injured in the process and replaced by Marvin Phillip.

‘Green Machine’ finish 7th at Pan Am Games

Too strong! Guyana’s captain Richard Staglon (on the tackle) and Dwayne Schroeder in action against the USA at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Canada.

THE Green Machine, Guyana’s National 7s rugby team, finished seventh place at this year’s Pan Am Games in Canada - a performance head coach Theodore Henry says was acceptable but could have been better.

Guyana lost their first game of the eight-team tournament against the hosts and eventual gold medal winners Canada 45-0, then went down 41-0 against silver medallists Argentina and 31-5 to Brazil.

The Guyanese then lost 31-0 to both the USA who eventually finished third in the tournament and fifthplacers Chile.

Their best performance came against fellow North American and Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) nation Mexico, whom they overpowered to win 26-22.

Patrick King, who had scored the lone try for Guyana/Argentina, turned back the hands of time and showcased his brilliance against Mexico - the team that he dismantled to pilot Guyana to their 2014 NACRA 7s title.

King scored three tries (15 points) and Peabo Hamilton (5 points) accounted

for the other while Ryan Gonsalves made good of two conversions (4 points) and Lancelot Adonis one (2 points).

“It must be noted that we played in the tougher of the two groups and then the mighty USA in the quarter-finals. I thought we could have been a bit more competitive against Chile but I thought the team performed to about 80% of their true potential and this is largely due to the team’s inability to play toptier teams on a consistent basis,” head coach Henry said in an interview with Chronicle Sport yesterday.

Henry said that beating Mexico was a welcoming reminder to the other NACRA teams that Guyana are still the team to beat in the Caribbean and believes that “once afforded the opportunity to play in a few more highlevel games outside of NACRA, the team will be better equipped to play against the ggiants of NACRA (USA and Canada).

Guyana are Caribbean’s most decorated 7s side, having won the NACRA title an unprecedented seven times. However, Guyana surrendered their trophy this year to the USA.

Kwakwani Secondary win U-16...

From page 27

It was not as close in the U-19 final which Kwakwani won 80-65 over St Rose’s High School thanks to an MVP performance from Stanton Rose (21 points).

Kerrol Phillips contributed 13 points and eight rebounds in his school’s victory.

Nathan Saul, one of the rising stars of Guyana’s basketball, terrorised the Kwakwani defence on his way to an entertaining 34 points but it was not enough to prevent the defending champions from retaining their title.

Meanwhile, Yonnick Tap-

pin ensured that MHS U14 team did not travel back to Linden empty-handed as he helped the town’s highest secondary learning institution to a 49-30 points win over St Rose’s.

Tappin, the tournament’s MVP, leading scorer and best defensive player award winner, scored 19 points and had nine rebounds and four steals in his side’s triumph.

The NSBF tournament was sponsored by Digicel, Banks DIH Limited and Beharry Group of Companies.

Guyana go down in Pan Am squash GUYANA’S male squash team at the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, crashed out of the competition following valiant fights.

In the first singles game Sunil Seth lost 3-0 to Guatemala’s Sedano Mauricio (11-9, 11-9, 11-5) while Jason Ray Khalil also lost 3-0 to Caballero Nicolas of Paraguay (11-2, 11-5, 11-4).

MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) - Paceman Mitchell Starc took painkilling injections for his strained ankle to bowl through Australia's opening Ashes defeat in Cardiff but is confident he will be fit for the second match at Lord's, captain Michael Clarke has said.

Starc, named playerof-the-tournament at this year's World Cup, played through the pain in Australia's 169-run loss after straining his right ankle, finishing with seven wickets and batting in the fourth and final innings.

Te a m p h y s i o A l e x Kountouris said the ankle had "improved significantly", while Clarke was also hopeful the left-armer could recover in time for the second Test starting on Thursday.

"Starcy obviously had some ankle pain and had an injection to bowl in the second innings, but the

Mitchell Starc

positive again was the fact that he was able to bowl and do what was needed for the team," Clarke told Melbourne radio station Triple M. "He batted as well in the second innings and ran between the wickets fine.

"Spending a bit of time with the Australian physio today, he's confident that, although it's a short turn-

around before the second test, there's been a lot of positives come out of the last couple of days since he was cortisoned, and things are going really well there."

Should Starc fail to prove his fitness, Australia have Peter Siddle or Pat Cummins in reserve.

England named an unchanged 13-man squad for Lord's.

Blatter to face media for first time since stepping down ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) - Sepp Blatter is set to face the media on July 20 for the first time since he announced last month that he would step down as president of soccer's governing body FIFA. Blatter and secretary general Jerome Valcke will both take part in a media conference after an executive committee meeting which will set the date for the extraordinary FIFA Congress and presidential election, FIFA said yesterday.

The 79-year-old was elected for a fifth term as FIFA president on May 29 but announced four days later that he would lay down his mandate and call a fresh election where he would not

Sepp Blatter

be a candidate.

The announcement came with FIFA in turmoil after 14 sports marketing executives and soccer officials, including several from FIFA, were indicted in the United States in late May on bribery, money-laundering and wire fraud charges involving more than $150 million in payments.

Seven of those accused were arrested by Swiss police in a dawn raid on a luxury Zurich hotel two days before the FIFA Congress where Blatter was re-elected.

Since then, Blatter has given a handful of exclusive interviews to Germanspeaking media but has not spoken in public.

Police and Running Braves lead at Relay Championships RUNNING Braves (RB) and Police athletic clubs ensured they walked away with most of the spoils up for grabs at the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) Relay Championships at the National Track and Field Centre last Sunday.

Police ended the day on a high note when they copped an unanticipated win over the RB team in the men’s 4x400, which ended competition for the day. The Police team comprised Winston Dummett, Kevin Bailey, Carlwyn Collins and Kareem Purch and clocked a time of 3:20.5s. For RB the athletes were CARIFTA Games medallist Jason Yaw, Devon Barrington, Quacy Clementson and Cleveland Thomas.

Meanwhile, RB carted away wins in the men’s distance medley and 4x800m.

They also took the female 4x100m with Alicia Fortune at the helm, as well as the 4x200m relay, which they took in a time of 1:42.14s.

In the men’s 4x400m, the athletes were evidently tired from a day of running multiple events, consecutively, but still attempted to give it their best shot. Clementson

Jason Yow

started things off for the RB team before handing over to Yaw who barely managed to maintain a lead as he got quite the fight from Police’s Kevin Bayley.

The Police team, which was started by Winston Dummett, kept them on their toes for the rest of the race even as Thomas took over the baton from Yaw and held on to the lead. On the third leg for Police was Carlwyn Collins.

It was all left to the

anchors. Purch faced off against Barrington. Barrington gained momentum on the final straight to fly into the lead, overconfident in his ability to take a win over Purch.

However Purch never let up and kept the heat up on Barrington all the way to the finish, giving his team the win just milliseconds ahead of the RB team.

Police also won the women’s 4x100m in 4:06.01s, with a team comprising Iesha Parris, Tiffany Carto, Jevina Sampson and Kezia Bess.

Police came in behind RB in the men’s distance medley, the 4x800m, and came second in both the men’s and women’s 4x200m, the sprint medleys and men’s 4x100m.

The ultimate win for the men’s 4x100m, in a time of 42.17 seconds, went to the Guyana Defence Force team which was headed by senior 100m champion Rupert Perry, supported by Davin Fraser, Leslain Baird and Akeem Stuart.

GDF also won the w o m e n ’s s p r i n t m e d ley (1:45.77s), as well as the men’s sprint medley (1:33.6s), and the men’s 4x200m (1:27.37s).

GNNL cricket team beat GBTI counterparts by 48 runs THE Guyana National Newspapers Limited team (GNNL) hammered their Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) counterparts by 48 runs in a Twenty20 contest on Sunday at the National Park tarmac.

Winning the toss, the GNNL side, captained

by Akash Persaud, took first strike. Brimming with confidence, the GNNL side posted an imposing 190 for the loss of 7 wickets thanks to a slobber knocker of an innings from guest player Raphael Singh.

The right-hander hammered the GBTI bowling for 57 runs.

Support came from all directions with Calvin Marks posting 34 and Navendra Seoraj 33

(10).

GBTI lead bowlers were the medium pace pair of Yashpaul Ramsaywak (3-23) and Shawn Gurcharran (211).

In GNNL’s turn with the ball, a good spell of bowling from Tagewant ‘Malinga’ Pulandarie rendered the GBTI team 48 runs short of their prescribed target.

Pulandarie took 4 wickets for 15 runs as the GBTI side were at sea against his left-arm pace.

Captain Akash Persaud supported with 2-22 after some deceptive leg-spin bowling.

In the end, only Reuel Sumair (37) and Karamchan ‘Rambo’ Rambarran (30) got to any significant scores.
