Muslims exchange Eid Mubarak greetings - at end of Ramadan

By Rebecca Ganesh “BAD habits waste valuable time and cripple faith and productivity.”

This was the message delivered yesterday morning, during the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations, by Shaykh Moeenul Hack of the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) to the many Muslim brothers and sisters who congregated at the Muslim Youth Organisation’s (MYO’s) Woolford Avenue, Georgetown headquarters.

He noted that this is the day to reap the fruits of their efforts during the holy month of Ramadan.

“Our challenge now is to maintain this devotion we achieved during Ramadan. We must maintain a strong connection with our Creator, and our understanding of

Women now transporting arms and ammunition

– says Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum

By Leroy Smith THE emerging crime trend in Guyana is one in which women are now transporting illegal arms and ammunition.

This was revealed to the Chronicle yesterday in a telephone interview with Chief Crime Wendell Blanhum, who expressed the deep concern of the Guyana Police Force at this emerging trend.

According to Blanhum, what the Police have found is that there are several cases wherein women would be in the company of males in vehicles, and when the Police stop and search those vehicles, nothing is found. Further moves to check the males would come up empty-handed; but when attention is turned to the females, weapons are found in their possession.

Blanhum was, however, quick to point out that females are not frisked by members of Police patrols, who are most often males.

On Friday evening, the Police conducted a search on two occupants of a car in D’Urban Street, Lodge. When the police searched the male, and later carried out a search on the vehicle, nothing was found. But when the Police instructed the woman to empty her bag as part of the search, they discovered that she was carrying a pistol with nine live rounds.

The two persons were promptly arrested and were, up to late last evening, still in Police custody assisting with the investigations.

The items some women conceal are not restricted to arms and ammunition, but also include illegal substances, the Crime Chief added.

Reference was also made to women who were searched at road blocks and found to be in possession of illegal substances, while the men were carrying nothing.

Also on Friday, Police ranks recovered two high-powered weapons which were stolen from a businessman on the East Bank of Demerara, sometime ago. One of those weapons

was described as an AR Rifle, and the other a shotgun. Both of the weapons had telescopes affixed to them.

The Crime Chief confirmed recovery of the weapons, and disclosed that one man was arrested and two others were being sought in connection with the recovery of the weapons.

Blanhum explained that females carrying arms, ammunition and illegal substances, or those for whom they may be working, are of the perception that the Police do not focus on women whenever they are encountered at road blocks.

He has warned that this is not the case, and has pointed to roadblocks across the country where there are female police ranks, including inspectors and other ranking officers, who are on standby to carry out searches of women whom the Police desire to search whenever they ‘roll up’ to a roadblock.

It has been suggested that with the growing trend of women now being used to transport illegal arms and ammunition, female PoPolice ranks recovered two high-powered weapons, with telescopes lice ranks must now be placed on affixed to them, which were stolen from a businessman on the East patrols. While the Guyana Police Bank of Demerara; as well as a pistol with nine live rounds, in separate Force has a standard operating prosearches on Friday (Photos, courtesy Police Force) cedure that female civilians are not to be searched by male police ranks, ing a female, or inviting her down to a Police station, as there is no law prohibiting a male police rank from arrestis erroneously perceived by many members of the public.

Suspect in Sophia murder dies after vigilante assault

JOEL Dalrymple, the suspect in the Wednesday, July 15 stabbing death of 40-yearold ‘D’ Field, Sophia resident Janice Paul, has died.

Reports state that Dalrymple, 35 years old, was handed over to ranks at the Turkeyen Police Station on Friday night at 11:15pm.

There were visible injuries about his body and he was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigations later revealed that Dalrymple was assaulted while being held

by public-spirited persons who handed him over to the police on Friday.

A man, whose name was not given in the Police press release, has since been arrested in connection with the assault, and is assisting the Police with the ongoing investigations.

Janice Paul was fatally stabbed by a man outside her home on Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Reports indicate that Janice was in the company of her husband, 39-year-old Eusi Paul, who also suffered injuries during the attack but was treated and discharged.

Police destroy two marijuana fields - in Mahaica Backdam

TWO fields of cannabis sativa, also known as Marijuana, were destroyed yesterday by police ranks after a drug eradication operation uncovered the find in the Mahaica Backdam, on the East Coast of Demerara.

About 200 ‘ganja’ plants ranging in height from one foot to ten feet, along with a quantity of dried marijuana were also uncovered and destroyed, a police press release noted yesterday. No arrests have

since been made in relation to the find.

PPP/C signals intention to attend next sitting of National Assembly - indicates willingness to work with Gov’t to address ‘alleged’ rise in uncertainty in society

By Navendra Seoraj COME July 30, members of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) are expected to take up their seats in the National Assembly as the Parliamentary Opposition, in an effort to curb the alleged rise in uncertainty in society.

This was hinted to members of the media on Friday by Former Head of the Presidential Secretariat, long-lasting member of the Party, Dr. Roger Luncheon, during a press briefing at Freedom House.

Dr. Luncheon said, “PPP could return at earliest on the 30th…I wouldn’t be definitive, but I wouldn’t be surprised

According to Dr Luncheon, the public is aware that the party has resolved to take up its seats in Parliament, but he said that pertaining to when they would actually attend has a lot to do with the routine of the National Assembly.

Statement delivered by

His Excellency Brigadier David Granger, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana

- on the occasion of the Mercosur Summit in Brasilia, July 17, 2015 Excellency, Madame Dilma Rouseff, President of the Federative Republic of Brazil; Other Heads of State and Government of MERCOSUR; Ministers of Foreign Affairs; Heads of Delegation; Members of the Diplomatic Corps; Ladies and Gentlemen; Madame President, The delegation of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana is delighted to be in Brasilia today. We share not only the warm hospitality which makes this country such a special place, but we are also happy to be part of this rich culture of cooperation between member States and associate member States of MERCOSUR. We thank President Dilma Rouseff, the Government and people of Brazil for their gracious welcome and for the excellent arrangements put in place for this conference.

We are confident that the outcome will bear testimony to the hard work done by the Government of Brazil in its capacity as Pro Tempore Chair.

My presence here today is very special for me as it marks my first official engagement with the Region since assuming the Presidency of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana just eight weeks ago.

It is a demonstration of my Government’s commitment to the process of Regional integration, to the promotion of friendly relations with all countries of the Region and to the production of an economic system that will enhance the prosperity of the continent.

Guyana is a small State, one of the smallest on this continent. We are part of the mainland of South America.

We have the distinction of being the only English-speaking country on the continent. We are fraternal members of the South American family of nations. Guyana is committed to pursuing its continental destiny as an active member of MERCOSUR. Guyana, an associate member, brings diversity to this common market. Guyana is also a founding member of the Caribbean Community. Our presence here represents our dual commitment to both the continent and the Caribbean.

Guyana believes in integration. We are committed to the infrastructural integration of the continent. We are negotiating for a road access between Guyana and Brazil through a bridge link which has already been built. The construction of a highway will intensify trade and investments with Brazil and the other countries of the South.

We are also examining the feasibility of a bridge between Guyana and Suriname to the East.

Madame President, Guyana’s strategic geographic location on the northern shoulder of the continent has the

potential to allow easier and cheaper access to the larger markets of the Americas, Africa and the Caribbean. Guyana is a natural gateway to these larger markets. We are an asset to MERCOSUR. We will foster the development of our country and this continent. The linking of our countries through roads, bridges, rail and other forms of air, land and sea communication will improve trade between the Caribbean and the continent. International trade is indispensable to economic integration and to MERCOSUR. This conference is taking place at a propitious time in the evolution of the global economy.

- From the North came the conquistadores and explorers 500 years ago. They created a new Atlantic mercantilist economic system.

- From the West arose a new dynamic, ‘ dollarised’ market-driven economic system which also gave rise to the Inter- American system of which we are all a part.

- From the East, most recently, came an aggressive industrialist powerhouse of the ‘Asian Tigers’.

- We are the South. This is our time! This must be our century! We will succeed, as the other Regions have succeeded, however only if we are integrated, only if we are united.

Guyana shares with MERCOSUR the strong emphasis on issues that go beyond commerce. We recall the commitment of MERCOSUR to the promotion of democratic norms and institutions. We recall, also, the stance taken regarding breaches of constitutional order within its membership. We note the recognition that MERPresident COSUR has accorded to David Granger smaller States through mechanisms such as the Structural Convergence Fund.

Madame President, Guyana subscribes fully to the ideals of democracy and constitutional order. We understand their importance to security and stability in South America. We embrace the principle of regional solidarity and the need to reduce political and economic asymmetries within the Region. It is, therefore, in the interest of closer integration and in the spirit of solidarity that we appeal to MERCOSUR to continue its vigilance to safeguard the sovereignty and security of small states on this continent and to eliminate inequalities and controversies that separate them.

Violations of borders could degenerate into conflict and could derail integration. When borders which had been determined definitively settled by international agreements are disregarded by one State, other States may do the same.

Chaos will ensue. This continent must be a ‘zone of peace’ if it is to progress.

In the case of the claim on the territory of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, we wish to make it clear that a full, perfect and final settlement was made in 1899 - 116 years ago by an international tribunal.

- Borders were demarcated; - Boundaries were delimited; - Maps were drawn; markers were set in stone; - The entire world recognises our borders.

Guyana, never the less, has been obstructed in the development of its territory. In October 2013, a naval corvette forcibly expelled an unarmed exploration vessel from our waters. Investors have been intimidated; the economy has been paralysed.

Decrees have been issued in 1968 and 2015 claiming a large portion of Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

These decrees are a ‘fishbone’ in the throats of our people.

We are underserving of 50 years of unrelenting provocation and obstruction of our development.

Guyana is a small State of fewer than a million persons.

We seek cordial relations with all States. We commit to: -mutual respect for each other’s territory, - mutual non-aggression between States, - mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs; and - mutual cooperation for peaceful co-existence amongst States.

Madame President, Guyana will continue to contribute to the economic development of the peoples of the South American continent. If our strategic geographic advantage as a gateway is diminished, our contributions will be degraded.

Guyana reasserts its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other States. The Commonwealth has issued a statement expressing concern and support for Guyana’s territorial integrity. The Caribbean Community has also expressed support for Guyana’s territorial integrity. We call on MERCOSUR to consolidate the integration of this continent by recommitting its support to the territorial integrity of this small State.

The Cooperative Republic of Guyana wishes to once again, express our gratitude to the President, Government and people of Brazil for their hospitality. At the same time, we wish to convey best wishes to the incoming Pro Tempore Chair, Paraguay, in the execution of their mandate.

I thank you.

Muito obrigado!

PPP/C signals intention to attend next ...

From page 4 ately, as thus far they have discovered that there is a high level of uncertainty that prevails in Guyana’s society today.

Dr Luncheon said, “It is no doubt that (the uncertainty) has some genesis in the change in Government, because it has been occurring after the May 11 elections, as our party’s contention is that the level of uncertainty has been influenced further by specific actions made by the Granger-led Administration, and importantly, some omissions of the Administration.”

Three areas that the party insists have been contributing to the level of uncertainty are non-disclosures, discrimination, and the “creeping” dictatorship (authoritarianism) that is being practised by the Government.

NON-DISCLOSURES Elaborating more on these areas, Dr. Luncheon said the

non-disclosures contribute to many things that are happening, because, by custom and practice, information that would be normally provided is not being provided.

Dr Luncheon said that during the tenure of the PPP/C at the helm of Government, that party was held to the same standards and adhered to consultations but, he said, “those standards have apparently been swept aside”, because the Government is not informing stakeholders and the general public about specific information that is important to the public.

This, he said, in turn allows “spit press and social network” to get involved in deep conjecture; therefore, disclosure is an important aspect of Executive power, because it leaves to the imagination little of what comes next.

“We have to address this uncertainty, and there are things that can and must be done if this level of uncertainty is not to prevail; as also it can be addressed by incisive action by the Government,” Dr. Luncheon opined.

His own suggestion is that, in order to address the alleged rise in uncertainty in society, there must be some type of collaborative effort between the Government and the PPP/C; but this offer, he said, was not made lightly.

The offer is made in the context of coherence, he said.

The Government should understand that the PPP/C’s inputs are based on those plans and projects which are above board and are consistent with the PPP/C’s Former HPS, programmes.

Guyana

A generous offer by T&T T

HE Governments of our Caribbean Community are expected to stand firmly behind Trinidad and Tobago’s bid to host the Secretariat for the United Nations designed ‘Small Arms Trade Treaty’.

Currently the headquarter secretariat for CARICOM’s Crime and Security arrangements, that country’s Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has been consistent in her Government’s initiatives to ensure regional and international support for the Arms Trade Treaty Secretariat based in that twin-island State.

The latest offer to ensure success for this objective was the announcement made public by T&T’s Foreign Minister, Winston Dookeran, last week in New York, that T&T stand committed to providing rent-free furnished accommodation for fifteen years, plus payment of fifty (50) percent of the cost of utilities for five years.

Perhaps only Trinidad and Tobago, among all Carib-

bean Community states, plus some in Latin America, -- if not beyond the rest of small, poor and developing states, could make such a generous offer at this time.

Apart from the important factor of geo-politics and issues related to the war against illegal arms and drugs trafficking, the offer by the Government in Port-of-Spain quite seems worthy of support by both the rich and powerful as well as small and vulnerable States.

As the Caribbean Community partner State that was the birth place of CARICOM, now in its 42nd year of operations, Trinidad and Tobago is, at this time, seems as an objective contender among small and developing states and ideally located between the two Americas’ as location for the UN Arms Trade Treaty Secretariat.

As recalled by Foreign Minister Dookeran who, incidentally, is bowing out of party politics and, by extension, would not be a candidate for his country’s coming September general

elections in February this year, T&T had hosted the first ‘Preparatory Meeting’ for some 300 delegates from some 90 member countries of the UN participating states.

That venue and occasion had contributed significantly to his Government’s subsequent decision to request objective consideration as headquarter secretariat of the Small Arms Trade Treaty.

Dookeran, an academic by profession, contends that financial contributions for the Secretariat should not be “too onerous on account of financial difficulties many countries are currently facing”; and his country was, therefore, quite willing to “provide the enabling environment to reduce the financial burden of State parties to the Small Arms Treaty…”.

THE PRIVY COUNCIL: A KEY TO JUSTICE

AS one who has been in and out of (Trinidad and Tobago’s) High Court, Magistrate’s courts, police cells, and who has been subject to over 10 arrests and innumerable charges, I am convinced that Government is the key to injustice; and the Privy Council is one of the keys to it. The following are seven reasons why.

Party politics came to Trinidad and Tobago in the immediate aftermath of post-World War Two. The ironies and absurdities of electoral party politics are well chronicled in V.S. Naipaul’s novel, ‘The Suffrage of Elvira’.

Dr Eric Williams made it known that the party was the thing. It was the ultimate moral or Manichean vehicle to propel us into a post-independence future. Williams was in turn satirised in Sparrow’s calypso for his dictatorship over the party: “PNM is mine, lock, stock and barrel” (Get to Hell Outa Here). Party dictatorship came into being; a benign variant of the conception of party supremacy practised in Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Franco’s Spain and Peron’s Argentina, for example.

The Party was the ultimate vehicle for mobilisation, rule, execution and storm-trooping - or jibing – of opponents. Partisan ideology binds us lock, stock and barrel. An ideology is a shared mania; it is radioactive. It permeates the society through and through; our institutions, cultures and economic and political systems. It is an equal-opportunity virus; transmuting governments, states and eras.

Many crimes in Trinidad and Tobago go undetected and unpunished. Two or three high-profile assassinations involving members of the legal profession, occurring over the last two decades, have remained unsolved. A well-meaning judge may easily become intimidated and alter his decision; judgments containing abysmal non sequiturs, selective use of facts, inattention to the pertinent facts, self-contradiction, a sudden break at the end where conclusion does not match proposition or analysis, are tell-tale signs of external pressures. The text, gaps in the text, tells it all.

In our long and brutal system of slavery, immigration and settlement of our territories, many of our ancestral systems of justice were abandoned, truncated, banned or forgotten.

Many of our peoples arriving on our shores came from village communities, hinterland ethnic groups in Spain, Africa, Portugal, Ireland, India, China for example.

We have shifted away from their time-worn localised systems of justice to the bureaucratic centralisation of our justice system. A plethora of disputes - land, marriage, neighbour, theft, praedial larceny, drugs and gun usage - bedevil our local communities. The bureaucratic, centralised system cannot handle these. Our failure to protect or develop local, community-based systems of juridicial rule, local courts run by elders for example, panchayaats, is patently evident; this exerts ruinous, fractious, flagellating pressure on community life; it exhausts the centralised bureaucratic judicial system.

The centralised bureaucracy itself isn’t working well.

The New Rules campaign has tried to reform court processes themselves.

But contiguous cogs in the wheel of justice remain broken. Day after day, hundreds of Remand Yard prisoners file into cages at district courts for stealing a whacker, alimony payments, a few grams of weed, resisting arrest, minor traffic violations, and they are sent back to the Yard, ordered to come back, in two, three, four months.

All because they lack a lawyer, or money or judicial smarts. The proverbial dotish “lil” boys, dem stupid man, and dem. The prison officer, the police, the magistrate, the stand-by improvising lawyer cannot help the system. It is the Government which must intervene.

Government has continuously failed to reform. The penal system remains primitive, callous and brutal.

Political populism has become the drumbeat at the heart of our democracy. This happens when political leaders and administrations dole out token subsidies, reliefs, goods and

services, the 10-day job, the grant, the fund.

A continual recycling of a system of patronage and dole.

This is harmful to the long-term interests of the nation; it is not sustainable; it fools the people and is anti-developmental. Superficial decisions are made by our leaders to impress, to secure future electoral victories. An Attorney General and a Government might wish to rush the Caribbean Court of Appeal agenda two months before an election, in order to claim that they have “done something good”; without careful thought and consultation.

In an era of renewed globalisation, the globalisation of cricket, finance, technology, communications, weapons, and culinary – dog meat – habits, it is imperative to secure the advantages of globalisation, while protecting the local, the village, the community.

The system of Privy Council is a global system, well advanced in years and well advanced before its time. We ought not to be calling frenetically for globalisation, yet disband a working system of global justice. We ought not to hastily mess with the global without fixing the aborted, abysmal systems of local, village and community justice.

I was chatting with a senior inspector of police on Brian Lara Promenade two years after the Dana Seetahal assassination (in Trinidad).

He told me that this crime would only be solved if Government wants it to be solved. The inspector has a clear understanding of his role in the system. Not to shake the system, shake down the system, unless the Government says so. Not in kickback, a ganja find, cocaine in the orange juice, or assassination. Government remains the main obstacle to justice in the Caribbean.

The Privy Council remains one of the key working parts of our justice system.

Congratulations due to the Guyana Police Force IS it me or has the Guyana Police Force within the last two months solved a number of crimes which most likely would have been unsolved under the prior Government?

Against the backdrop of the remark that “crime was never out of control” from the Police Commissioner at a recent media briefing, it is indeed telling. Not only because of the comparison between a 15% reduction in crime at this time last year which is being used as the yardstick to measure current levels of crime, but because it seems that political interference as well as rogue elements in the Police Force tarnished the integrity of the Force’s intelligence and crime-fighting capacity.

Congratulations are in order to the Guyana Police Force. In the space of two months, the force has solved or made significant inroads into several high- profile crimes, notably the assassination of Courtney Crum-Ewing; the killing of Regent Multiplex Mall proprietor, Ganesh Ramlall; the robbery of M. Ali and Son Supermarket in Berbice; and the burglary and assault committed against a land court judge and her husband.

These are much-needed and welcomed signs that the Guyana Police Force minus political interference and with the right leadership can and has the capacity to solve crimes similar to those listed above. Now the Force has to work on its ability to prevent crime, in particular situational crime. Another facet that requires significant strengthening is solving white-collar crime, which usually involves well-known Guyanese elites and elite want-to-bees.

Keep up the good work ladies and gentleman of the Guyana Police Force and continue to grow from strength to strength in your duty to serve and protect.

CONSULT US, DON’T INSULT US! The little ‘untouchable’ dictators in hinterland communities must be exposed

THE residents of some Amerindian communities in Region 2 are crying out for just and competent leadership.

For the past 23 years, our communities have waited. Many of those who opposed the former Administration may have been the victims of power-drunk leaders who made no bones about going after the weak and the voiceless; some were suppressed, oppressed and discriminated against. But we were hopeful. Finally it came. The change we all looked forward to is here. We all welcome the change, Mr Editor, but this change must be reflected from our small villages, up.

In our hinterland villages, our towns, everywhere, there must no longer be tolerance for corruption. There must no longer be tolerance for incompetent leaders, there must no longer be tolerance for dictatorship in our communities. Yes, there are little dictators, untouchables if you like, even in our little communities in the hinterland of this country. They have to be exposed, and they will be exposed!

Let us sound a warning to them, too, who will become leaders of our communities at the upcoming Toshao and Councillor elections during this month.

Let them understand that it would not be business as usual.

No elected leader or leaders should be afraid to lead so long as they work in the best interest of their communities.

However, at the same time, no one should ever think of holding a leadership position for the expressed purpose of seeking personal gain. He/she will be detected early and the chips will fall where they may.

Of course, persons must be held accountable now. His Excellency, the President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Mr David A. Granger himself said it: “Business will not be as usual.” And these words must reverberate throughout the entire country for residents NOT to allow business to be perpetuated as usual.

Many have been experiencing what every villager is calling a “one-man show,” whereby all the major decisions were being made by the head of the village. Now it must

not happen. Let the residents of the community be consulted through C.G.Ms and let them understand their responsibilities.

We must allow them to speak.

Their voices must be heard because there will be times when tough decisions will have to be made; made by the casting of ballots, perhaps, for or against. This is a community thing, Mr Editor, and we all have to bear the responsibility of deciding on the major issues, one way or the other.

No, it is not a one-man show. Consult us, don’t insult us!

Yes, Mr Editor, it is time for our hinterland villagers to seek change for the better, not for the worse. Let us elect those who are competent, those who have the interest of their communities at heart, and those who are trustworthy. It is time to launch activities that will make our villages attractive, places where tourists may want to come. There may be times during the year when we can attract visitors to engage in Sport Fishing? Do we have a lake nearby? Do we have canoes in which to paddle them around, safely? And so on.

Let us put our country first, let us put our communities first and yes, let us seek growth and development for all, not for a few, but for all. The challenge is ours, let us accept it. The change is here. Let us embrace it.

UG Vice Chancellor Opadeyi inherited untenable situation WHEN Professor Jacob Opadeyi became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana in February 2013, he inherited an untenable situation characterised by malpractices in financial management, cost over-runs, and spending beyond the income of the university, creating an inherited deficit of over $500M in 2013 and reduced to $300M in 2014.

Financial audits by the Auditor General’s Office discovered financial irregularities and transactions at the Institute of Distance and Continuing Education (IDCE), whose annual income is $30M but spends $60M. There was also the payment of $1M annually without supporting documents and not for the approved, designated purpose.

Generally, poor work ethic, minimum work, not fulfilling contractual working hours, and general lack of accountability permeated the university working environment. The MAD approach (maximum administrative delay) was employed in implementing or frustrating decisions, even some Council decisions.

A few examples would give the public and the responsible university community some insights into the reasons the unrepresentative and unrecognised University of Guyana Senior Staff Association (UGSSA) is instigating attacks on the integrity of the Vice Chancellor.

It is primarily because the Vice Chancellor dared to challenge and correct these bad practices and replace them with comparative international best practices; he is seen by the leadership of UGSSA as a “sell out,” upsetting the status

quo, and bringing an “end to the good thing they had going.”

In a special audit commissioned by Council under his leadership, it was discovered that the Bursary (prior to the appointment of the current Bursar) was functioning without standard operating procedures; failed to practise basic accounting principles; reconciliation of accounting activities once a year instead of on a daily or weekly basis; maintained no accurate or current balance sheet; and shockingly using DOS-based accounting software that permit changes to accounting records with no records of who made the changes, what was changed, when it was changed or who authorised the change; payment receipts can be changed or cancelled and the receipt number re-used; unclaimed salary cheques are neither reported nor queried; writing cheques when there is no money in the account to support the payment; permitting overdraft without authorisation; using student lab fees to support staff travels; unwillingness to collect debts owed to UG; withholding payments to Credit Unions, NIS, GRA after deducting same from employees’ salaries; overpayment due to errors in salary software; payment of salaries without signed contracts; and providing cash advances with no record of spending accounts and receipts. These are what he inherited.

I dare say that there may be need for a forensic audit for the full recovery of the university’s financial assets, which were paid and received without authority and entitlement by staff over the years prior to the appointment of this Vice Chancellor and the current Bursar. Professor Opadeyi

brought accountability into the university.

UNDER FUNDING: It is widely known that the university is underfunded; needs infrastructural and staff and student facilities upgrades; needs assured annual subventions and increased fees to cover fully the operating cost of some $350,000 annually per student; need scholarships for staff development; needs a more healthy working and classroom environment for staff and students, and not unmindful of the need for attractive remuneration, benefits and conditions of service for staff with due regard being had for national and regional comparative context.

Changes at UG (over the last 28 months), since the Vice Chancellor was appointed, at his initiative and with the approval of the University Council, include increasing the retirement age from 60 to 65 years, so as to retain high-quality lecturers and professors; introduction of technology/facility fee of $50,000 per year for all students; acquisition of a 30-seater bus for field trips; senior management to be responsible for the hiring of UB and UA staff at the level of Lecturer I and A.O.; senior management to be responsible for disciplinary matters of both staff and students; generally no programme with See page 19

The President’s ‘diplomatic walk’ with Venezuela Analysis by Rickey Singh PRESIDENT David Granger has wisely moved away from an apparent angry, competitive shouting match with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to a mature, diplomatic offensive in defence of Guyana’s territorial integrity and political sovereignty.

Against the backdrop of mixed responses and the relevant text of the communiqué issued by CARICOM on the Heads of Government Conference in Barbados earlier this month, President Granger has openly declared his interest in pursuing the path of “friendship” with President Maduro in relation to Venezuela’s continuing claim to vast areas of Guyana’s recognised demarcated territory.

It was in this “friendship” mood that PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA, PRESIDENT he had travelled to the just-concluded NICOLAS MADURO DAVID A. GRANGER Mercusor summit in Brazil, where he urged that relatively new bloc of states to condemn Venezuela’s latest act of territorial aggression CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean against Guyana by President Maduro’s ‘decree’ annexing States); UNASUR (Union of South American States) - to demarcated Guyanese territorial waters in the Atlantic all of which Guyana and Venezuela are members — as they are, of course, to the United Nations and the Organisation of Ocean.

Undoubtedly, blocs of Caribbean and Latin American American States.

The WPA factor Of course, President Granger would be advised to also appropriately address the political problem that has surfaced by a segment of his A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), namely the Working People’s Alliance (WPA).

Specifically, that is, over what that party has described as CARICOM’s “watered-down” statement on the Guyana/ Venezuela territorial dispute.

Further, its “dismay” over the expressed “satisfaction” by both President Granger and Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge with the Community’s end-of-summit communiqué must be addressed.

What was remarkable about the WPA’s response is that, small as it is in terms of membership and/or popular support, it is the best known segment, other than the dominant PNC, of what comprises APNU. After all, while the Alliance For Change (AFC) has developed as the most readily identified accompaniment of APNU, which basically revolves around the PNC, the significance of the comparatively small WPA should not be expediently ignored. It certainly has an engaging history of its own.

Therefore, while now contemplating wider and more challenging diplomatic peace initiatives with Venezuela with the objective to maintain Guyana’s territorial integrity -- ‘every blade of grass’, as the saying goes --President Granger would perhaps need to also avoid unnecessary political schisms within his coalition administration. At some stage, he may need to offer a response to that careful post-CARICOM Summit release from APNU’s partner -- the WPA.

Forget side effects…

GIVE ME THE DRUGS!

By Keith Burrowes

FIRST of all, let me put forward a disclaimer about this week’s article. Not only is it going to be a little lighter than usual, but it is also going to be a little more adult as well.

“What happened to the man who got the Viagra stuck in his throat? He got a stiff neck for four hours.”

That’s one of several jokes that someone recently forwarded me online. When I’d figured it out and finished laughing, it actually started me thinking. So many of us take drugs on a day-to-day basis, but we give no thought at all to the side effects. * VIAGRA With VIAGRA, the most common side effects are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. VIAGRA may also briefly cause bluish or blurred vision or sensitiv-

ity to light. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any other discomfort during sex, or an erection that lasts longer than four hours, seek immediate medical help.

Take Viagra, itself, for example. After reading the joke, and not at all for personal reasons I can assure you, I went on the official website for the drug to see some of the actual side effects.

“Like all medicines, VIAGRA can cause some side effects. These are usually mild to moderate and usually don’t last longer than a few hours. Some of these side effects are more likely to occur with higher doses of VIAGRA. I tend to think that the person who wrote that last part had a good personal laugh, and probably still do. I mean, s e r i o u s l y, h o w

many emergency room cases featuring that last side effect have been recorded, considering the hundreds of thousands of men across the world who have been taking the little blue pill since it was first launched? I am yet to hear of a single story or read about a single recorded case of it.

Of course, that’s not the only drug with notable side effects. I know many men, and women, will argue that the benefits of Viagra outweigh the side effects and at least one side effect may be a benefit, but there are other drugs which you need to consider, whether the risk of certain side effects outweigh the possible positives. For example, almost anyone who watches TV regularly would remember seeing an ad talking about something called “Restless Legs Syn-

A NATIONAL PLAN - for more equitable and inclusive growth

time to be diplomatically demure. We have to leverage every possible relationship to open big doors at the Department of Agriculture, which manages the U.S. Foreign Agriculture Import Programme. With Venezuela in the equation, there is a view that if a diplomatic request is made for President Granger and President Obama to meet on this geo-political development in the Western Hemisphere and its adverse economic and military impact, it shall be favourably considered.

Rice is now gone; Venezuelan oil will be next; that is a given.

BUT we are not going to roll over and die!

THE story of Guyana is interwoven in the story of a nation struggling to feed, clothe and house its people mostly on a thin stretch of coastal lands.

One of the biggest challenges in this story is how to drain that piece of land to keep it productive and habitable.

The story of the success of this new Granger/Nagamootoo Administration rests on the construction of a 10-year development strategy filled with progressive public policies that allows more of our people to access and develop more SO WHAT IS NEXT BEYOND 2015 AND of our lands, especially the county of Essequibo.

Trying to grow an The ERP with its associated poverty alleviation proeconomy on the back of ‘entrepot’ trading and Government gramme was able to create the conditions to facilitate substantial private sector investments while at the same time targeting the most vulnerable population groups to provide for their partial economic rehabilitation.

In those days, growth rates of above 6% were the norm, not the exception. Somewhere along the line after the departure of Dr Asgar Ally, the principles of the ERP were put to pasture. It is time to return to those days of above 6% growth rates, in spite of a hostile developmental environment where an external Harvard University aggressor is exacting seBusiness Tycoon, graduate, Dr Cecil Rajana vere economic punishDr Yesu Persaud ments on Guyana for not yielding to their indecoexpenditures as tried by the Jagdeo/Ramotar Administration rous extra-territorial ambitions.

Why not engage people with these experiences to add their value to the equation? However, this time those foreign direct investments must be more anchored in equity, inclusiveness and more advantageous for the workers (more training and better paying new jobs).

We however, cannot do this on our own and thus we have to ask our international friends for help and fast. It is extremely important that the United Nations be engaged in securing skills of retired industrialists from countries like Canada, Singapore, India, South Korea, Chile and Malaysia.

These retired experts will be engaged to share practical ideas from practical people who have made millions out of brilliant ideas; not theoretical adventurism. The revised 10-year NDS must be populated with policy actions that clearly map out the investment environment so that real project ideas can be incubated swiftly to create real jobs and real profits. The positive outcome from such an alliance between the State and the private sector is poverty reduction and reward for risk taken; in summary “a good life for all”.

A RE-FOCUSED GUYANA INVESTMENT AUTHORITY (GIA) But at the centre of this idea is a re-focused GIA that is built from scratch and fully empowered. It has to be led by well-trained and committed professionals like the names I mentioned above, who are “logged-on” to the idea that the GIA is a one-stop service to all investors and “NO” is not an answer to any investor. All that matters should be: 1.

Is the source of the funding legitimate?

2.

Is the track record of the investor sound?

3.

Can the risks associated with the project be mitigated?

4.

What is the environmental impact of the investment?

In summary, the focus should always be – “Guyana is open for business and how can we help?” Once vetted and found to be good for Guyana, all doors must be broken down to ensure that those ideas are continually supported by the State, so that investors can cultivate businesses and stakeholders (including the workers) can reap benefits.

But more importantly, the State should also become the hunter. It is recommended that “Economic Desks” be established at every Embassy, High Commission and Consulate like yesterday. These desks must not be jobs for the boys, but managed by established business people with deep roots in the respective Diaspora communities. Their jobs are to network and connect business people to business people, business people to the GIA, but most importantly showcase Guyana. Exciting times ahead!

CONCLUSION Next time I shall be continuing this conversation on the question of an Industrialisation Policy for the Rice Industry as a tool for new wealth and new jobs.

HINDS’SIGHT

Dr. Walter Rodney: A light that shone so brightly

By Dr. David Hinds JUNE 13, 2015 marked the 35th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Walter Rodney, the renowned Guyanese scholar-activist. Much attention was not paid to marking this occasion as this year’s anniversary came in the midst of the excitement generated by the change of Government after more than two decades.

But Walter Rodney is too important a phenomenon to be forever lost in the shuffle of things. This column is targeted especially to those of the younger generations who are most likely unaware of Rodney’s significance to Guyana and the wider world.

When Walter Rodney was born, the Anglophone Caribbean had just experienced a decade of protests which highlighted the miserable conditions under which the majority of people lived. These protests forced the British Government to send a commission to investigate the causes and to make recommendations for a solution. The commission’s report led to the granting of limited self-government to the Region, which speeded up the decolonisation process. Rodney, therefore, grew up with the decolonisation movement.

His father was an active member of the colony’s nationalist party, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), which brought Rodney into contact with radical politics while he was still in primary school.

Rodney won a scholarship to attend the elite Queens College (QC), an opportunity made possible because of changes made to the education system by the PPP Government, which won the country’s first election held under adult suffrage. While at QC, Rodney excelled in academics and athletics but he maintained a keen interest in politics.

His years at QC coincided with the split of the PPP into two ethnic factions in 1955. However, he traced his interest and receptiveness to Marxism back to this period. He explained that the PPP’s openness on the issue was an advantage which he and other Guyanese noticed when they arrived at the University of the West Indies.

Rodney entered the UWI in Jamaica in 1960 to study history at a time of growing Caribbean nationalist sentiments. The Region was in the middle of the Federation experiment and the imminence of independence excited Rodney’s generation. He had left a Guyana which had begun to show signs of ethnic confrontation and would not return permanently for fourteen years. It was during his undergraduate years in Jamaica that he became inter-

ested in African history. He recounted how when given an assignment on the relevance of Africa and Europe to the Caribbean, he could articulate the relevance of Europe but could not do the same for Africa.

It was at that point that he decided to study Africa. As he puts it “I couldn’t articulate why Africa was relevant. So eventually it was necessary to move in that direction.” (Rodney 1990:14). It was also while at the UWI that he became closely acquainted with the work of CLR James, particularly through his book, The Black Jacobins. James’ use of Marxist methodology to explain the Haitian revolution had a big impact on the young Rodney and help to crystallize his attraction to Marxism. He also credited his travels to the USSR and particularly Cuba with helping in some small way to propel him in the direction of Marxism.

So, as he left to pursue graduate studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies in England in 1963 he was already armed with an interest in African history and Marxism - one the subject the other the methodology -- which would

form the basis of his intellectual work. He quickly completed his PhD within three years; his dissertation was on the slave trade on the upper Guinea Coast in West Africa.

While in England he sharpened his political consciousness and moved closer to an embrace of Marxism. He attended a study group conducted by CLR James and his wife Selma, who had returned to England following CLR’s falling out with Trinidad’s Prime Minister, Eric Williams.

His first teaching assignment was at the University of Dar Es Salam in Tanzania. Although his preference was West Africa, given his academic specialisation, he felt the unstable politics of Nigeria and Ghana at that juncture would not have facilitated his quest to effectively learn the African society and its politics. He also ruled out Guinea because of the language difference. After spending two years in Tanzania he returned to the University of the West Indies. But after just one term he was banned from Jamaica. The Government considered him a security risk on account of public lectures he had been giving off campus to many Rastafarians and the urban youth. There were huge demonstrations following his expulsion that came to be known as the “Rodney Riots.”

After a short visit to Cuba, he returned to Tanzania in 1969 where he taught for the next five years. In 1974 he left for Guyana expecting to get a job he had applied for at the University of Guyana. But the Government overruled the decision of the Academic Board and denied him the job. Contrary to the Government’s expectations, Rodney decided to stay in Guyana. He joined the newly formed Working People’s Alliance (WPA) and became immersed in the struggle against the authoritarian regime. Within six years he had inspired a broad based mass movement that put the Government on the defensive. On June 13, 1980 he was assassinated in Georgetown, bringing the physical end to a life that shone so brightly while it lasted.

Taxi driver who molested schoolgirl to serve six months in jail

By Jeune Bailey Vankeric LEONARD Bristol, a 22-year-old former soldier of Lot 37 Bristol Street, Cumberland, East Canje Berbice, was on Thursday sentenced by New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus to six months’ imprisonment after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting a schoolgirl.

The hire-car driver had initially appeared before the Reliance, East Canje Magistrate and was not required to plead to the charge alleging that he had fondled the vagina of a twelve-year-old girl.

Detective Woman Constable Keisha Deane-Smith had sworn to the accuracy of the information gathered in the police file, which had resulted in the defendant being arraigned. And Police Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, prosecuting, said the virtual

complainant, a now second-form student, had boarded the defendant’s vehicle with expectation to be taken to the Berbice Educational Institute; but after the defendant had dropped off the other passengers, he diverted from the intended route and drove to a desolate area at Palmyra Village, East Canje, where he allegedly fondled the juvenile’s private parts.

He subsequently took the teen to her school, where an observant teacher noticed that the child was late and questioned her about the reason for her lateness.

The virtual complainant then confided in her class teacher, who in turn contacted the child’s mother, who then reported the matter to the police.

Bristol had been ordered to lodge bail in the sum of $100,000 as well as his Guyana passport.

Progress made in recovering State assets said.

He, however, added that there are certain individuals and a company that have been written to about the actual collecting of fuel by vehicles that did not belong to the State. “There is one company that we attempted to serve documentation, only to discover that the company had shut up shops.

By the time we got to the registered office of the company they had moved to some other location,” the Minister of State reported.

According to the min-

Minister of State, Mr Joseph Harmon

THE State Asset Recovery Unit set up by the Government, is making significant progress in recovering assets of the State. This is according to Minister of State, Joseph Harmon.

The Minister who was at the time updating media operatives on the various initiatives implemented

by Government which are aimed at creating a more accountable and transparent public system, explained that the unit which is headed by Presidential Advisor,

Head of the State Asset Recovery Unit, Professor Clive Thomas

Professor Clive Thomas, was engaged in a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ work. This has resulted in the recovery of several assets that were held by individuals.

“The important thing is that we recover those assets, we are going to go after those persons who have them but I am advised that it is better that we take certain steps before you actually publicised the names and the companies that are involved,” Minster Harmon

– Minister Harmon ister, the Government’s resolve to recover State assets and to penalise those found guilty remains sharp and its operations have widened. “But now we are more fortified, in fact we are now operating on a wider scale…in relation to the inter-agency collaboration on crime, we are having a greater level of coordination by agencies of the State in this regard. We are now in office,

it’s the middle of July and you would recall that our elections was only in May but in that short space of time we have benefitted from a wide level, a wide degree of consultation and information from agencies that we have not had access to initially,” he said.

The Minister explained that things are now much clearer to the Administration and it is in a better position to take public action. “The

work which we are doing to recover these assets is not just collecting it but strengthening the institutional arrangements.”

Government, since its ascension to office has indicated its intention to create a transparent and accountable functioning public system. It has so far implemented several initiatives in this regard one of which includes audits of several key State agencies.

Shared governance, national unity and inclusionary democracy are constitutionally guaranteed - they require political will and demanding citizenry to make them work

By Lincoln Lewis

C

ONSTITUTION and laws are dead at their hearts unless they are activated by the people. Be it known that both instruments are derived from the culture of the society they are made for.

This nation should be comfortable that power is being shared between the Government and Opposition in the regions, local government and the nation’s highest decision-making forum, Parliament.

What the nation must demand is respect for and implementation of constitutional provisions that guarantee shared governance, inclusionary democracy and national uni-

ty.

What is required is that the relevant Government allows what is mandatory in the Constitution to be effected. Some pertinent articles that attend to such realisation are as follows: (a.) Article 13 which outlines the “Objective of the political system” stipulates that the nation’s principal political objective is inclusionary democracy, requiring participation of citizens and their organisations in the management and decision making processes of the State, particularly in areas that impact their wellbeing; (b.) Article 149C secures the “Right to participate in decision-making processes of the State,” specifically allowing for the trade union,

cooperative and other socio-economic organisations of national character to play a role in management and decision-making processes of the State; (c.) The “Supreme Organs of Democratic Power” (Chapter V) ranks the order of the supremacy of the nation’s democratic power (Article 50), vesting such accordingly to (i) the Parliament; (ii) the President; and (iii) the Cabinet; (d.) Attending to the “Composition of Parliament” Chapter VI allows for the President and National Assembly to work together; and (e.) Local Democratic Organs which allows for the devolution of power to the grassroots in the task of managing and developing the communities in which

they live through Local and Regional Governments, are enshrined in Chapter VII. In examining the constitution vis-à-vis what happens in the society today, inclusionary democracy is being practiced at the regional, national and local levels where the people are able to elect their leaders.

What may be necessary is that the mechanism that has been put in place for identification of contestants and arriving at the List of Electors which has opened itself to being skewed, that such be revisited through the attendant laws.

The post 1992 elections made the demarcation more evident in the distribution of power at regional and national governments and the National Assembly, where the political power has been shared among contesting parties, evident in the allocation of seats in the Legislature, who controls the Executive, and distribution of seats in the Regional Democratic Councils and election of chairpersons.

Local Government elections in 1994 saw similar distribution of power in the towns, districts and villages.

The 2011 General and Regional Elections saw an Opposition-controlled National Assembly and the Executive with minority seats (33:32). In the Regional Government the PPP secured the plurality of votes for six (6) Regions and held the chairmanship. Between the APNU and AFC, then Opposition, they secured the plurality in four (4) Regions and held the chairmanship.

In 2015 the APNU+AFC alliance won the Executive and has control of the National Assembly retaining the configuration of 33:32 seats. In the Regional Government, of the ten (10) Administrative Regions, the PPP won seven (7) and the alliance three (3) with corresponding chairmanship.

What the Central Government has control of is the nation’s finances but this must be managed in a manner that allows the regions and local government authorities to function effectively.

Lincoln Lewis

Article 77 requires that each Region’s development programme be integrated into the national development plans and funding allocated by Government to enable the regions to implement their programmes.

The spirit and intent of this article have suffered at the hands of vindictive governments as seen in the instance of Region Ten that has been denied significant State financial input based on per capita.

The National Budget which is prepared by the Executive includes submission from the ten Administrative Regions and is brought to the National Assembly to be discussed through sub-committees that include members from both sides of the House, debated, approved and signed into law.

What we need in 2015 and going forward is growth where both sides of the House must be prepared to examine proposals tabled by either side and where there is merit embrace and arrive at decisions favourable to the Regions based on the resources available. Efforts must be made to ensure evenhandedness consistent with the principle of equality under which the Regions and citizenry are constitutionally protected.

Notwithstanding Article 77, the strengthening of shared governance is reinforced through Article 76 that grants Parliament the authority to “provide for the regional democratic councils to raise their own revenue and dispose of them for the benefit and welfare of their areas.” This article awaits legislations to empower the people to manage their affairs.

Meaningful legislations

can reinforce fairness in the system and allow the Regions to deepen the thrust for self-determination. This aid the people cultivating greater appreciation for the need of working together for their collective development rather than having to depend solely on Government, a practice that has been subject to abuse and narrow partisan political interest.

Arriving from ballots cast, the Constitution makes provision for assigned roles and responsibilities. To bring the Opposition into the Executive makes elections pointless.

National election determines who goes into Parliament, sits in Opposition or Government benches and who leads the Executive. Regional and local government elections determine the distribution of seats and the chairmanship based on the popular vote cast.

The weakness is not the structure but the absence of political will to respect the will of the people, develop laws to empower the Regions and local democratic organs and moreso to recognise the privilege of being elected requires service to all the people.

In its present form, the Constitution makes provision for sharing of power, national unity and inclusionary democracy at the national, regional and local levels.

The realisation of these requires the people holding elected officials accountable to give true meaning to constitutional guarantees.

hallucinations, memory problems, trouble sleeping), muscle cramps/spasms, decreased sexual ability, unusual urges (e.g., increased gambling or sexual urges).” * INSULIN Insulin may cause minor and usually temporary side effects such as rash, irritation or redness at the injection site. Too much insulin can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The symptoms include cold sweat, shaking, rapid heart rate, weakness, headache and fainting which,

if untreated, may lead to slurred speech and other behaviours that resemble drunkenness. Too little insulin can cause symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) which include confusion, drowsiness, rapid breathing, fruity breath odour, increased urination or unusual thirst.

One of the more common drugs people are aware of and some are familiar with is Insulin. You may have heard of some of the common brands such as Humulin, Iletin I NPH and Novolin. Those who have heard of insulin will know the drug is used to treat “diabetes mellitus” or diabetes for short, as it is commonly called. The main use of the drug is for controlling high blood sugar which helps prevent heart disease, strokes, kidney disease, circulation problems and blindness – the prescribed method of application is by injection.

Sleep deprivation and sleeping disorders are other common issues with many persons, most often affecting the older demographic.

Having problems or disorderly patterns of sleep more often than not causes people to turn to medication which brings relief to them in their time of need. Some of the more common names you may have heard of include, Lunesta Oral, Halcion Oral, Ambien Oral and to a lesser extent, Valium. These are all drugs used to treat persons with sleeping disorders.

Taking Lunesta may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses (such as anxiety, abdominal cramps, vomiting, sweating, or shakiness) can occur if you suddenly stop using this medication.

Though it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can also result in abnormal, drug-seeking behaviour (addiction/habit-forming). You may have trouble falling asleep the first few nights after you stop taking the drug.

This is commonly known as rebound insomnia. It is normal and usually goes away after 1-2 nights. * VALIUM The most common side effects of Valium include drowsiness, impaired motor functions, impaired coordination, impaired balance, dizziness, fatigue, depression, anterograde amnesia and reflex tachycardia. Rare side effects can include nervousness, confusion, constipation, diplopia, dysarthria, headache, hypotension, incontinence,

jaundice, changes in sex drive, nausea, changes in salivation, rash, slurring of speech, tremor, urinary retention, vertigo, irritability, insomnia, muscle cramps, and in severe cases, rage and/or violence.

I would like to end this week’s article by advocating that the relevant authority – the pharmacy association or some other body – have small cards printed and distributed with some of the common drugs that are issued to patients warning them of the side effects.

Some of the time a doctor or even a pharmacist may, for various reasons, not be able to inform their patients about the effects and causes of the use of a particular drug; while I’m

sure most of the times this is done, it will be beneficial to all parties to have that bit of extra information available.

One can also argue that the internet and computers are there and you can basically find anything you’re looking for online.

However, not all of us are so fortunate to have that luxury and hence the usefulness of the cards can be the difference between a patient deciding to use a drug to have some mild relief and determine if it is really worth taking the drug after considering the side effects.

Cops caught driver ferrying 13.3 lbs ganja under car bumper

The car in which five kilos of compressed marijuana were found concealed in its back bumper

POLICE on mobile patrol in the Cummingsville Housing Scheme area of New Amsterdam were, on Friday morning, alerted to the sound of scotch tape being used presumably to tape parcels.

At the time, motor

car HD 7421 was parked in front of a house, and ranks were continuing their search for the bandits who had robbed the business place of M. Ali and Sons and had hitherto eluded their dragnet.

The suspect exited the house as ranks surrounded the car, but on

seeing the Police, he threw a bulky brown bag over the nearby fence.

The bag was retrieved and found to contain a taped parcel, which, when opened, contained leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be from the cannabis sativa plant (marijuana) .

The suspect and his vehicle were escorted to the Central Police Station, where a search carried out on the vehicle unearthed, under the back bumper of the car, an additional five taped parcels containing dried compressed marijuana weighing six kilogrammes, or 13.3 pounds.

The suspect remains in police custody. (Jeune Bailey Vankeric)

Guyana will look to secure France’s support -in several sectors says PM Nagamootoo THOUGH challenged by natural disasters and limited resources, the Government of Guyana is determined to ensure the safety of its people and to improve their lives.

In this regard, it will continue to count on the support of its developmental partners, including the Government and people of France, says First Vice-President and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, who is performing the duties of the President while President Granger is in Brazil.

The Prime Minister was at the time addressing the commemoration of the National Day of the Republic of France (Bastille Day) which was held last Friday evening at Cara Lodge, Quamina Street, Georgetown.

In his address, the Prime Minister expressed Guyana’s appreciation to the Government of France for its support over the years, especially in providing for debt-relief and for offering economic and technical cooperation in several areas. He noted that all of these meaningful efforts have contributed significantly to Guyana's well-being.

“We hope that in the near future, we could secure opportunities for training in ‘weather forecasting,’ as well as humanitarian assistance for flood victims,” he said.

PM Nagamootoo stated, too, that the Government is looking forward to further enhancing cooperation with France, particularly in the areas of trade, foreign economic investment and crime-fighting.

He expressed the hope that formalisation of Guyana’s Honorary Consulate in Cayenne, French Guiana, would help to boost these efforts.

The acting President reiterated the Guyana Government’s support in the fight against climate change, both domestic and internationally, while acknowledging the crucial role that France has played in the global process.

“Our future depends on a comprehensive, holistic approach to global-warming and climate change,” the Guyanese Prime Minister said. “If we are to leave behind a world for the benefit of future generations, we must ensure its sustainable existence, and this should remain the primary goal of the international community,” he added.

To this end, the Prime Minister expressed the hope that the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNCCC,) scheduled for Paris, France, in December, results in “a balanced outcome representing the concerns of both the developed and developing countries.”

The Prime Minister also stressed that this country will count on the friendship of France and the French people, “as we stand up resolutely against coercive attempts to frustrate our development and to threaten our territorial integrity.”

Meanwhile, France’s Ambassador to Guyana, Michel Prom, assured the gathering that Guyana’s contribution at the UNCCC summit will be, “important to the success of the conference.”

He took the opportunity to thank the authorities and the people of Guyana for the solidarity shown earlier in the year with regard to the Paris bombing and to this end, reiterated cooperation in the field of security. Noting the attention that President Granger has been giving to the opening of the Guyana Consulate in Cayenne, the French Ambassador said this move would facilitate greater re-

Also present were Minister of Governance and acting Foreign Affairs Minister, Raphael Trotman; Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan; and Minister of Business and Investment, Dominic Gaskin.

Bastille Day, the annual celebration, known to the French as “La Fête Nationale,” is a nation-wide holiday that commemorates the anniversary of the liberation of

France marked by the storming of Bastille.

The medieval prison called Bastille, was where political prisoners were held for capricious reasons and had no chance of appeal at the hands of Louis XVI’s royal government.

Bastille became a symbol of the monarchy and was targeted by the people of Paris, when they stormed the fortress on July 14, 1789. (GINA)

Muslims exchange Eid Mubarak ...

From page 2

Muslim brothers and sisters a blessed day.

Delivering brief words to the congregation, United States Chargé d'Affaires, Mr Bryan Hunt, wished all present ‘Eid Mubarak’, and noted that he brings wishes of a blessed day from President Barack Obama.

He said: “Not only did you spend a month in fasting, but you have spent a month doing good deeds for one another, and it is our hope that the world recognises the Muslim community for all the works they have done.

“It is our responsibility to care and, most importantly, to love one another”, he urged all.

On behalf of the Government of Guyana, Michael Carrington, Member of Parliament (MP), said: “We wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters Eid Mubarak! Eid Mubarak! Eid Mubarak!”

He said that being a member of the newly elected Government, “it is our aim to work together with all our people for a better Guyana.”

Mr Carrington explained that if one reads the Quran properly, “it teaches you to fight against the wrong, to fight against hypocrisy. So I ask you to join with us, and correct us when we are wrong, so we can take this beautiful country of ours forward.”

In a message, CIOG President Fazeel Ferouz stated: “On this auspicious occasion, the end of the holy month of Ramadan, I extend on behalf of myself, family, and the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana, to all Guyanese, and especially our Muslim brothers and sisters, Eid Mubarak!! Eid Mubarak!! Eid Mubarak!!

“Let us lead by example, and join with all of them in our country who have similar beliefs, to try our best to wipe out corruption and crime at all levels of society; violence against women, rape, sexual molestation of children, alcohol abuse, suicide, and racial discrimination. We have been trained and fortified in Ramadan, now is the time to put the lessons we have learnt into practice”, he urged all.

fewer than 10 students; establishment of Ph.D programmes (a first at UG); and establishment of an Audit Committee of the Council.

The Vice Chancellor, in spite of the challenges and constraints, further achieved significant improvements in the financial accounting and management systems; reduced the deficit through negotiating additional Government funding to the tune of $800M; reduced expenditure on commuting lecturers; improved financial discipline through spending along budgetary lines; marked improvement in physical infrastructure; establishment of online degree programmes in four (4) disciplines (a first at UG); establishment of a MPH programme (a first at UG); increased graduate enrolment; increased revenue streams from $1,092M in 2013 to $1,342M in 2014; a decreased deficit from $619M in 2013 to $334M in 2014; Gifting of 2000 classroom desk/ chair combinations by the private sector and acquisition of additional 1100 classroom chairs, thus end-

ing the chronic lack of classroom chairs that had plagued the university over the past 10 years or more; and 3400 student lockers (a first at UG); efficient use of capital grants that saw the acquisition of over 200 personal computers in two years; technological investments - Software for statistical analysis of student assessment, Smart ID card system, timetabling software, smart classrooms, free Wi-Fi for staff and students, electronic message board; installation of projectors and white boards in classrooms; establishment of Confucius Institute at UG; revision of promotion

criteria that saw unprecedented promotion of staff for three new professors, eight senior lecturers and 20 lecturer IIs, all achieved within two (2) years in office.

Other achievements during this first two years of appointment include establishment of an honorary degree programme: investment in campus-wide CCTV cameras (a first at UG); naming of university streets after former Chancellors; effective and efficient management of the UG Science and Technology Support Project of US$10M of the World Bank facility; improved sporting facilities

through construction of basketball/lawn tennis courts (a first at UG); introduction of a conflict-of-interest declaration for staff who have family members enrolled in the classes; with the support of the Ministry of Health, ensured the posting of a medical doctor to the UG medical centre (a first at UG); upgraded the terms of employment of 33 Maid/Cleaners who have been working for 13 years as part-time staff to fulltime staff with full benefits; support the introduction and use of the Moodle teaching support system; financial audits that unearth financial irregularities and transactions at IDCE; and stopped

the payment of $1,000,000 annually without supporting documents.

Professor Jacob Opadeyi has served the staff and the university very well as Vice Chancellor over a short period of

time with an outstanding performance of excellence, which deserves the nation’s gratitude and vote of confidence.

Some suggestions to tackle Crime THE crime situation is getting out of cont ro l . E v e r y d a y we have reports of robbery assaults, shooting and even murders. It is very worrying and people are living in fear. We need action by the Police. It has to be stopped. Here are

some suggestions : 1) Increase Police patrols all around the city and in towns and country areas. Mobilise vehicles from other ministries and even the private sector and have these vehicles up and down, especially at nights. They must have radio communication or at least cellphones, constantly making contact with the stations.

2) Stop-and-search operations must be carried out by all major Police stations along the coast such as Providence, Sparendaam, Mahaica, Albion, Leonora and other places.

Vehicles must be stopped and searched. There must be clear signs that it is a Police operation. Suspicious vehicles and persons must be fully checked out at both the Demerara and Berbice Bridges after the

peak hours of the day.

Checks must be done on one side of the crossing.

3) Joint patrols between the Army and the Police must take place.

4) 9 1 1 a n d t e l e phones at stations must be in working order.

5) Quick response.

There must be a working vehicle with armed officers at Police stations to respond and not ask for transportation.

6) The Community Policing Groups must be more active and visible.

7) Groups of people loitering must be broken up or the people arrested.

The crime situation is stopping Guyanese visiting Guyana and making many persons thinking of leaving. This is not good enough.

A special programme must be worked out for motorcyclists and for special radios on places where criminals hang out. We need action now!

Cummings earns South African team landmark win, Froome leads BRITISH journeyman Stephen Cummings earned South African team MTN-Qhubeka a landmark victory on Mandela Day when he spoiled a French party to take a surprise win in the 14th stage of the Tour de France on Saturday.

Cummings beat Thibaut Pinot into second and Romain Bardet into third, powering past the two Frenchmen inside the final kilometers while both were marking each other thinking the race was between the two of them with French president Francois Hollande watching from the race director’s car.

Cummings, riding for the first African team on the Tour de France, even had time to raise his arms in celebration after staying within distance of the French rivals in the final climb, a 3-km ascent at an average gradient of 10.1 percent.

“We had special meeting this morning (because of Mandela Day) and we had special helmets on, it was a big motivation,” said Cummings.

“It was a long shot and luckily I played it well.”

Briton Chris Froome retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey after holding off his rivals and even gained further ground at the end of the 198.5-km ride from Rodez.

After Cummings had won from the

day’s breakaway, Froome came under fire from his rivals for the general classification.

Colombian Nairo Quintana was the

Pocket Rocket Gym opens in Linden AFTER a hiatus of close to a year, boxing coach Orland `Pocket Rocket’ Rogers has returned to working with amateur fighters. Rogers has shifted attention from Berbice and has now opened a gym in the mining town of Linden.

The gym has been growing steadily since its opening earlier this month and now has a membership of 25 youths. President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle said

The gym is located in Victory Valley Wismar and appropriately named Pocket Rocket Gym. It has a membership of 22 males and three females. Rogers would be approaching the association during the course of this week for an official transfer.

While the gym was in Berbice, Rogers was credited with uncovering and neutering many of the nation’s top fighters including the talented Ja-

Ninvalle applauded the effort and noted that boxing was on the down swing in Linden for some time and that Roger’s initiative is both timely and welcomed. The GABA boss, however, pointed out that there is need for more gear if the gym is to produce fruit.

“We (the GABA) were able to get him off and running following a presentation of some basic equipment. However, that would not be enough to sustain a gym. An approach is being made to the Director of Sport to assist in this department,” Ninvalle said.

The opening of the gym in Linden has added to boxing activity in the country Ninvalle informed. He disclosed that national coach Wincell Thomas is working with youths in Ann’s Grove.

This programme was made a reality with support from the National Sports Commission and the Director of Sport, Christopher Jones.

Thomas has been making visits to Ann’s Grove five days a week to have sessions with youths with the intention of opening a gym in that area. He will later shift attention to other locations in Guyana.

He finished one second ahead of Quintana, who climbed to second overall 3:10

behind, leapfrogging American Tejay van Garderen who is now third 3:32 off the pace after losing 40 seconds to Froome.

Spaniards Valverde and Alberto Contador are fourth and fifth overall, 4:02 and 4:23 off the pace after losing a few seconds in the finale.

On an another hot day on the Tour, a 20-man breakaway took shape in a nervous start as a massive pile-up sent Swiss FDJ rider onto the ground and to the hospital with a broken collarbone.

The group of fugitives featured several top names in Pinot and Bardet, third and sixth overall last year, as well as American Andrew Talansky, Briton Simon Yates and Colombian Rigoberto Uran.

They opened a 7:30-gap as Pinot’s FDJ team mates Matthieu Ladagnous and Jeremy Roy controlled the group until they ran out of gas.

Bardet led on the final climb but Pinot caught him just before the final flat part and it seemed both would contest a sprint for the win.

But Cummings was not far behind and, after a furious descent, caught them off guard and powered away to victory on the annual celebration day of former South African president Nelson Mandela.

Ashes 2015…

Australia tighten grip on Lord’s Test against England

ENGLAND face a mammoth task to avoid defeat in the second Ashes Test after Australia turned the screw on the third day at Lord’s.

Alastair Cook scored 96 and Ben Stokes 87 as the hosts made an admirable recovery from 30-4, but they were eventually dismissed for 312, still 254 runs behind.

Australia opted not to enforce the follow-on, advancing to 108-0 at stumps to lead by 362.

David Warner, dropped on nought by Adam Lyth in the gully, has 60, while first-innings centurion Chris Rogers is on 44.

With two days remaining, Australia are strong favourites to seal the victory that would level the series at 1-1 with three Tests to play.

England need to win the series outright to regain the Ashes urn.

Chasing the boundary off Mitchell Marsh that would take him to three figures, he overstretched and got a thick inside edge on to his stumps.

It was the seventh time Cook has been dismissed in the nineties, the most by an England player, and only three shy of the least desirable of Sachin Tendulkar’s

CPL looking at long term relationship with Guyana -Understands Government’s ‘Paperwork’ Request

By Stephan Sookram THE Government of Guyana and the Visionaries of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) have found common ground for the future of the twenty 20 spectacle. Speaking during a press conference on Saturday at the Marriott, the Chief Operations Officer (COO) Pete Russell indicated that they have sorted out their issues with the Government of Guyana after discussions.

“My thing with the Government is that they have done the right thing. They have done their due diligence. They looked at the agreements that were in place and they wanted to make sure that those commitments were delivered by CPL. We were obviously debating or discussing long term future. For us it is very important that CPL is a major factor in Guyana which I am sure it will be for years ahead. It’s an ongoing discussion; I mean it’s a learning curve for everyone. I meant that we have had a change in government now in St Kitts; Antigua obviously changed their government, so we’ve been through the process before. It’s absolutely right that an incoming government wants to see what they are committed to, so that process is ongoing.”

Russell reminded that the Guyana franchise forms part of the CPL family and they are intent on keeping it intact, as is the case with Barbados. “I think that it is a sensationalist press headline. For CPL it is important that there is that public/ private partnership.

We feel that this is an important tournament for the governments around the region, there’s a huge amount of economic value that comes into the region and we feel that they should be a partner, just in the same way that sponsors are. Barbados has been a challenge,

Guyana Chronicle’s Stephan Sookram quizzes the Chief Operations Officer of the CPL Pete Russell (Centre) as the Chief Financial Officer Barrie Corcoran looks on (Photo By Adrian Narine) because we know the economy down there is not as brought as it might be but we are hopeful that we reach an agreement.”

The CPL had indicated that the Government owed it US$500,000, a figure which spanned after two years of work. However, the Government of Guyana through Finance Minister Winston Jordan had declined to pay

CPL OWNERSHIP REVEALED Meanwhile, the C.O.O. rubbished rumors being pedalled in the media that the league is owned by GPC Boss Ranjisinghi Bobby Ramroop.

F1 driver Bianchi dies nine months after Suzuka crash FRENCH Formula One driver Jules Bianchi has died of critical head injuries sustained at last year’s Japanese Grand Prix, his family said in a statement on Saturday. He was 25.

Bianchi had been in a coma since the accident at Suzuka last October.

He passed away at a hospital in Nice, near his parents’ home in the south of France.

“Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end,” said the Bianchi family.

“The pain we feel is immense and indescribable.”

Bianchi was the first driver since Brazilian triple world champion Ayrton Senna, at Italy’s Imola circuit in May 1994, to die from injuries sustained during a grand prix weekend.

“We are devastated to lose Jules after such a hard-fought battle,” his Manor F1 team Tweeted. “It was a privilege to have him race for our team.”

The Frenchman suffered severe head injuries when, in wet conditions and fading light, his Marussia

slammed into a recovery tractor while it was attempting to remove Adrian Sutil’s crashed Sauber.

JULES BIANCHI Television images of the Oct. 5 accident, which were not publicly broadcast but have since been posted on the internet, showed the Marussia’s roll hoop had been

entirely ripped off in the massive impact.

The race was stopped and the unconscious driver was extracted from the wrecked car and taken by road ambulance to the nearby hospital.

Bianchi, who was also contracted to Ferrari and was considered to have a bright future in the sport, was initially treated in the Mie General Medical Centre in Yokkaichi.

His parents and siblings flew out from France and were a constant presence at his bedside, hoping against hope for a miracle.

An International Automobile Federation (FIA) report said in December that the Frenchman had not slowed sufficiently under warning flags before crashing.

The report found that Bianchi’s car hit the tractor at 126 kph and said medical services were not at fault in their handling of the aftermath.

His family praised medical staff in Nice and Mie Prefecture for their care over the last nine months and asked for privacy as they sought to come to terms with the loss.

are the majority owner of the CPL. There is one or two minority stakeholders but they are individuals and then the WICB (West Indies Cricket Board) obviously has a stake as well.

I’ve heard reports that (Ranjisinghi) Bobby Ramroop is the owner of the CPL, that is not the case. Bobby Ramroop is only the owner of the Amazon Warriors Franchise. So he owns the franchise down here and it’s like any franchise ownership. All his investment goes into the team. So there is no money that he gets from CPL. I just want to clear that up. In terms of ownership, it’s very clear.”

Recently, rumors on social media had been pitting Ramroop as the owner of the CPL. Ramrooop’s Limacol brand had been the title sponsors for the first two years.

CPL IN THE RED Meanwhile, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Barrie Corcoran dismissed rumors published that the entity is carting off bundles of money for itself. He noted that in fact, the tournament on average costs the entity just over 20 million US Dollars per year and is actually in debt in some parts. The CFO has indicated, however, that the reports of the multimillion dollar media rights deals do not necessarily mean profits. “We are in our third year and we have had a huge amount of investment gone into this product from day one. For example it costs about US$25M to run this tournament each year. So it’s important that we get investment from tourism and Government.”

Hero Caribbean Premier League…

Red Steel sinks Patriots on D/L Method

AN excellent performance from Darren Bravo with the bat and from Dwayne Bravo with the ball has seen the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel defeat the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Hero Caribbean Premier League at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad and Tobago.

Darren Bravo made a superb 40 runs off just 15 balls to set up a very challenging target. Brother Dwayne then collected three wickets for just 15 runs as the Patriots chase looked to be on and then fell away.

The Red Steel got off to a fine start thanks to South African legend, Jacques Kallis. He is the leading run scorer for the Red Steel in this tournament and he continued in that vein here. He was on 25 not out and the Red Steel were 30-0 when rain took the players from the field.

When the rain abated and the players got back on the field, the Red Steel lost William Perkins. Promoted to open in the place of Cameron Delport, Perkins managed 15 from 12 balls before he mistimed a pull shot off Sohail Tanvir that was caught in the covers.

It wasn’t long before the rain returned and it hung around long enough to see the

game reduced to 14 overs a side. The very first ball after the resumption saw Kallis dismissed, stumped off the bowling of Jomel Warrican for a 29-ball 31.

Kamran Akmal smashed a massive six but was out in the next over when he tried to repeat the trick against Tabraiz Shamsi, who was in the wicket taking form once again on his return from his hamstring issues.

The fall of Akmal’s wicket brought the Bravo brothers together and Dwayne and Darren combined to produce 26 runs in 11 balls. Dwayne fell in the 13th over for eight runs, but Darren added a brilliant 40 runs that included five sixes.

There was drama in the last over when Carlos Brathwaite was removed from the attack for bowling a second beamer. He had already been smashed for a six off the first ball and, when the second was a high full toss, he was handed his cap by the umpire.

He was replaced by Afridi who found it no easier to keep the run rate under control as he was hit for four sixes in five balls as the Red Steel made it to 134-5 off their 20 overs.

Ex-FIFA official Webb to enter plea on U.S. charges JEFFREY Webb, one of seven high-ranking officials of soccer’s world governing body FIFA who were arrested in Switzerland on U.S. corruption charges, was due to enter a plea in court on Saturday after being extradited to the United States.

A former FIFA vice president and president of the CONCACAF regional

soccer federation, Webb was scheduled to appear and face charges at a federal court hearing in Brooklyn, New York.

The 50-year-old Cayman Islands national is among nine soccer officials and five marketing executives charged by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly exploiting the sport for their

own gain through bribes of more than $150 million over 24 years.

He was one of seven soccer officials arrested in Zurich on May 27, two days before FIFA’s annual congress, as authorities unveiled a case that roiled the soccer world.

In an email, a U.S. lawyer for Webb declined to comment on Saturday before the court hearing.

U.S. authorities say their investigation, paralleling a separate Swiss inquiry, has exposed complex money laundering schemes, millions of dollars in untaxed incomes and tens of millions in offshore accounts held by FIFA officials.

Webb faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering. He has been provisionally banned from his posts at FIFA and CONCACAF. According to the indictment, Webb used his influential positions to solicit bribes from sports marketing companies in exchange for the commercial rights to soccer matches.

One $500,000 bribe payment from Traffic went to build a swimming pool at Webb’s house in Loganville, Georgia, the indictment said.

On July 3, Cayman Islands officials announced separate charges against Webb in an unrelated healthcare fraud case.

Red Steel’s Darren Bravo explodes during his 15-ball 40 against Patriots.

Once the target had been readjusted, by Duckworth-Lewis-Stern, the Patriots need-

ed 142 runs to win. Evin Lewis opened the batting and was brutal against his former teammates. He was on 35 from 16 balls at the end of the Powerplay that was reduced to four overs.

Lewis fell for 40 off 22 balls when he attempted to drive Dwayne Bravo over long off. He was replaced by Shahid Afridi and he and Samuels took up the six hitting mantel. It looked as if they would combine to reach this target with ease, but Samuels was bowled by a brilliant legspinning delivery from Derone Davies.

Afridi and Ramon Reifer looked to be edging their side to victory but they fell to successive deliveries off Dwayne Bravo.

Reifer went skying a ball into the deep. Afridi was then pinned LBW. Those wickets took Bravo to the top of the wicket taking table in this year’s tournament and put the Red Steel firmly in charge of this chase.

Their stranglehold was further increased when Devon Thomas also fell going for a big shot leaving the Patriots 111-6.

The Patriots never recovered from that cluster of wickets as the Red Steel won the game with relative ease having been under real pressure halfway through the chase.

The loss means that the Patriots are the first team to be eliminated from CPL 2015 having claimed eight points from their 10 games. It has been a credit - worthy first year from the new franchise, but they will be hugely disappointed not to be competing in the elimination games.

For the Red Steel this win means they have managed to go from the bottom of the table to third place and, with two games in hand, they are brilliantly placed to finish top when all of the matches have been played.

Go-Kart Derby exhibition postponed THE exhibition planned by the National Go-Kart Derby for today has been postponed according to organisers.

According to organisers, the rainfall during the last 48 hours has left the National Park in a flooded state, thereby leaving them without a venue.

However, after suitable discussions, the committee has decided to hold the event next Saturday (July 25) at the same venue. During the launch earlier this week head of National Go-Kart Derby, Attallah Wilson, said the initiative seeks to bring back an age-old tradition to Guyanese families and also to use simple materials.

The exhibition will feature various karts built by persons and Wilson urged the public to come out and view the work

done. She indicated that potential participants should not limit themselves to what they see next Saturday but be innovative.

Admission for the actual derby is free for spectators but participants will be charged $2000 per entrant. There are four classes- the 6-10 years division, 1113 years division, 14-16 years category and the dash-for-cash division which is open to all ages.

Among the sponsors are the PAC, Forbes Tyre Shop, GBR Wheel Alignment. It is being held under the theme: ‘Courage, Fun, Tradition’ and is in memory of contractor Aubrey Wilson Snr who was an avid go-kart fan and builder. The first annual Go-Kart Derby will be held on August 9 at the National Park.

Hero Caribbean Premier League…

Cautious Warriors impaled by Tridents

By Stephan Sookram

THE Amazon Warriors were impaled by the Barbados Tridents on Saturday evening in match 28 of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.

The home Franchise lost by 15 runs. Brad Hodge and Lendl Simmons got warriors off to the stable start they needed, cruising at 23 without loss after the first 6 overs. Hodge, the 41 year old Aussie found joy in pressuring the Trident fielders, pushing his younger counterpart for quick singles and even quicker twos.

However, the often cheeky cut shot that brought Hodge success earlier, would prove to

be his downfall, as he dragged an Imran Khan delivery back onto the stumps, ending his innings of 27 (28b 4x4 0x6).

5 balls later Simmons 15 (31b 0x4 0x6) made the lonely walk back to the pavilion, the victim of a beautiful catch by Khan at short third man off the bowling of Captain Kieron Pollard.

Umar Akmal lit up the center with some flashy boundaries but fell prey to the lure of Kieron Pollard who had him caught at deep mid wicket for 20 (22b 2x4 1x6). After the departure of Akmal, Christopher Barnwell came out to the center and continued to turn the strike over, but the partnership was broken by Ryad Emritt just an over and a half later, the Skipper

Ramdin driving into the hands of Misbah at cover, ending his innings at 14 (15b 1x4 0x6).

With the departure of Ramdin, the frowns like, the run rate continued to grow. An out of flavour Barnwell and David Weise brought them 11 from the second to last over, but they still needed 22 off 6; no better time for the tridents skipper Pollard to take the ball.

Barnwell slapped the first for a 6 and the crowd erupted.

Barnwell was back!!

A scampering double off the second ball meant the Warriors needed 16 in 4. Ball number 3 - Stumps! Flying! Barnwell completely mistimed Pollard and his stumps paid the price.

Sunil Narine came to the crease needing 16 from

‘Lady Jags’ high on optimism AS the ‘Lady Jags’ open camp ahead of their Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Group Four Olympic Qualifier, the players are high on optimism of a successful campaign and expect the same from the Guyanese public.

The ladies arrived yesterday for their week-long encampment under the guidance of Head Coach Mark Rodrigues and his assistant Sheron Abrams, as they prepare to face-off against St Kitts and Nevis (August 21) and Cuba (August 23) in the Dominican Republic.

In 2010, the ‘Lady Jags’ became the first National Team from Guyana to feature in a CONCACAF event when they played in the Gold Cup, hosted in Cancun Mexico.

One returning player from the historic squad Donna Joseph, said despite it being five years since the team is playing together, there was some amount of rust to shake off but noted, that this time around, things will be different.

“We had the experience from the last time, we know what to expect. This time we are more confident in ourselves, and trust each other and the programme and the coaches to do better this time around,” Joseph noted.

Kayla DeSouza, another player from the 2010 squad believes that the players have all matured and are “more experienced and helping to

pass on that experience to some of the new faces that haven’t been a part of the team to share that with them.”

But Justine Rodrigues who was also instrumental in the team’s success in reaching the Gold Cup, says that though this time around the girls are entering the Olympic Qualifiers and the goal now is reaching Brazil in 2016, the objective remains the same and they welcome some pressure from the public to perform.

“I would only hope that the people can put their trust in us to do well and be confident in us as well. We really wouldn’t want to let our fans down.

A lot of people are supporting us; family, friends and we’re carrying a nation as well, so we will welcome the pressure,” Rodrigues said.

Group one will be hosted by Puerto Rico and fields Aruba, Puerto Rico, Haiti and Grenada. Group Two features St Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda, the Cayman Islands and Trinidad & Tobago, to be staged in Trinidad & Tobago.

The Group Three games will be played in Suriname and the teams in this group are Dominican Republic, Dominica and Jamaica.

While the tournament has an age limit of Under-23 for men born on or after January 1, 1993, there is no age ceiling for the Women’s Qualifiers.

3 but that proved a tall task for the spinner, who only mustered a single.

Weise looking to make the most of a bad situation held Pollard out to be caught at mid wicket. The warriors were beaten! The Tridents’ bowling - Pollard ended with 4-0-4-30, Emrit 4-0-1-20, Peterson 4-0-0-16, Khan 4-0-1-22.

Earlier, in the Tridents batting Stephen Taylor was the first to go, attempting to flick Weise but only skied the ball for Ramdin to take, closing off early with 13 (15b 0x4 1x6).

Dwayne Smith tried to accelerate the scoring, and was successful for a bit, hammering a Hero maximum over long on three balls after Taylor’s demise. His flair, however, was short lived as he had to depart two deliveries later after holding one out to Akmal at long off who sprinted from Long on. He ended with 14 (16b 1x4 1x6). Jonathon Carter also had a short-lived stint at the crease, departing 6 balls later for 7 (after nudging an in-swinging beauty from Weise into the outstretched diving arms of Ramdin. A useful little partnership between Pakistani Misbah and South African Peterson began to form in the middle and pushed the Tridents to 56 before the latter had to depart.

He slammed Devindra Bishoo for a super 6 over long on and followed it up with a switch hit over mid wicket for 4 but the Guyanese, Bishoo, came back strongly capitalizing on the exuberance of Peterson 13 (17b 1x4 1x6) and sliding one through the front gates.

By this time the celebrating Warriors were brought to silence by the entry of Tridents captain Pollard. Misbah departed a 2 balls later softly after spooning one into the hands of Fudadin at short gully for 6 (17b 0x4 0x6). Keiron Pol-

lard, much like Smith looked to get a move on and was successful with a few strikes.

A roaring ovation from the approximately 12,000 fans at the Providence stadium in the last ball of the 12th over signalled what the Bajans feared, the dismissal of the danger man Pollard.

A ripping delivery from hometown hero Permaul bewildered an advancing Pollard leaving him at sea half way down the track and with a rocked back off stump, and an unimpressive score of 2 off 5 balls (0x4 0x6). Jason Holder and Ryad Emritt came together for a classy partnership that brought up the hundred.

Consecutive boundaries, cannon of a six over long on from Holder, followed by a slashing outside edge that passed inches from an outstretched Fudadin at short third man showed that the Bajans were

looking to accelerate at the start of the 18th.

However, the Warriors had other ideas. Weise returned to have Holder 30 (17b 2x4 2x6) caught at cover after cramping him with a delivery and the very next ball had Emrit caught at long on ending his 21 ball 21 at the crease.

Nurse provided 1 hero maximum and a single before ending his 4 ball stint.

The innings ended when Imran Khan slashed Merchant de Lange through the slips for a 4 off the last ball; the tridents 125/9.

Wiese ended 4-0-5-28, Bishoo 4-0-2-23, Permaul 4-0-1-27 and de Lange 4-0-1-28. With the loss by the Warriors, the Tridents extend their lead atop the table and the Warriors remain second, the result of a superior net run rate.

The Warriors oppose the Red Steel on Tuesday at the same venue.
