Another jaguar captured in Berbice

By Jeune Bailey Vankeric ANOTHER jaguar, Guyana’s national animal, has been captured in the Ancient County of Berbice. This one, a male, was captured yesterday by cattle and crops farmer Bryan Durant of Pepper Street in Heathburn Village in Region Six. Durant described the animal as a 'pest' that had repeatedly slaughtered his domesticated birds, biting off their heads and removing them from his farm. He told the Guyana Chronicle that he was experiencing great loss in his poultry stocks.

Durant said that after the animal, which preyed at nights, had been spotted, he set up a trap to capture it. The trap, a four-foot contraption made of mesh and divided into two compartments, was secured, and three domesticated birds were used as bait. However, to protect the birds, the walls of their compartment were lined with a smaller gauge of mesh, preventing contact with the predator’s paws. The trap was taken to where the livestock was housed, several yards from the farmer’s home; and at about 02:00hrs, some five hours later, the feline predator was captured.

The animal, weighing approximately eighty pounds, was about four or five feet in length, tail included, and was transported to the New Amsterdam township, several miles away from where it was caught. It was subsequently taken to the Zoological Park in Georgetown.

Lifestock farmer Bryan Durant Another male jaguar was caught at Heathburn Village, East Bank Berbice yesterday This is the second jaguar to be caught in East Berbice over the last four days. Last Monday, a male jaguar was fatally shot after it had initially been seen crouching in an inter-lot drain which divides Harkman’s Lane from Pilot Street in the New Amsterdam township.

It was just before 09:00hrs when that ‘beast’ was spotted, and its presence brought the citizenry out in their numbers.

Some were naturally fearful, while others were just curious.

Persons used their mobile phones to contact the police and other personnel; but, moments later, Businessman Errol Azar, a licensed firearm owner, arrived on the scene armed with his shotgun. He discharged two shots at the jaguar, and the animal,

weighing more than 100 pounds, lay motionless on the street.

Residents and observers, armed with their mobile devices, sought opportunity to have ‘selfies’ with the lifeless animal.

Residents praised the efforts of Azar, while noting that there are many school children in the community, and it would have been heartbreaking if one had been attacked and mauled by the animal.

While no one reported how the animal managed to get into the township of New Amsterdam, it is believed that the jaguar had probably been a pet which may have escaped from its owner’s confinement.

In 2010, a jaguar had been spotted on a ‘paste tree’ at Lot 38 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, and was subsequently killed; while, in 2008, an ocelot was captured at Maratraite, East Bank Berbice and was taken to the National Zoo.

‘Phantom squad’ was more powerful than ‘death squad’ - says former Home Affairs Minister Ronald Gajraj operated one

SELF-CONFESSED death squad member Sean Hinds said he is prepared to turn himself into the police but only in relation to the ‘serious offence’ investigators want him for. Hinds, who spoke exclusively to Travis Chase of HGP TV Nightly News said investigators cannot question him on his recent unraveling of the underworld since former members of the ‘death and phantom’ squads would be the one interrogating him.

“How could they question me and dem and I worked together, I know how wicked they be,” Hinds told HGP Nightly News.

Hinds is alleging that the Police Force still has top members of its command who were part of the former Home Affairs Minister Ronald Gajraj formed ‘Death Squad’ and if the force is interested in solving old crimes that took place more than a decade ago, they should be stripped of their rank and be questioned as well. “Now when the sh** hit the fan, me alone getting charge or they want to question.

Colombian busted with 80 fake ATM cards at hotel on EBD

By Leroy Smith A COLOMBIAN National, who has been in Guyana for the past five days, as of yesterday, was busted with 80 fake automated teller machine (ATM) cards in a room at an East Bank Demerara hotel by ranks from the Guyana Police Force Fraud Squad.

The ranks also confiscated a quantity of local currency when they moved in on the man at the hotel on Wednesday afternoon.

Crime Chief Wendel Blanhum yesterday confirmed that the operation had taken place and that the Colombian had been arrested, but he declined to release the man’s name to this publication.

Blanhum told the Chronicle that the cards were similar to the 120 cards that the fraud squad had found last week at a home in Good Hope in that they bore logos. He also confirmed that the man was spotted on several cameras at city banks using the fake ATM cards to withdraw cash from the bank accounts of other persons.

When arrested on Wednesday, the man was found with just under $500,000 in his possession.

One source who was close to the operation explained yesterday that ranks from the fraud squad suspected that the fake cards being used to access ATM machines might in fact be old credit cards.

The police are working to determine whether the cards which were found in the Colombian’s possession were

connected to the bust of the 120 cards that were discovered in a house on the East Coast Demerara last week.

The police are continuing their investigations into that bust.

In that matter, a woman who had been charged, placed before the courts, and was at the time on High Court bail for conspiring to ship cocaine outside of Guyana, was also held.

Police investigators are of the view that if the cards are not in fact old credit cards, then they are cards that are produced in Guyana.

Investigations into the latest matter, as well as that of last week, continue to actively engage the police.

Lethem commercial estates land re-open to investors - Burrowes hoping applicants for first phase will be approved soon

By Tajeram Mohabir LANDS identified in Lethem for the establishment of three commercial estates are now re-opened to investors for development.

Go-Invest Chief Executive Officer, Mr Keith Burrowes, made the disclosure during a meeting with potential investors held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, Greater Georgetown on Tuesday.

About 6 years ago, the former Administration had identified the lands but development was put on hold after it was found out that a contractor was building a factory inconsistent with established requirements.

The Government at the time also saw there was a need to re-visit some of the policies pertaining to the distribution and de-

Mr Burrowes said following the hold up, he lobbied intensely for the continuation of the development, and succeeded in getting approval from the then Administration, but shortly af-

He did not disclose the reason(s) for the hold up the second time, but said it caused him much frustration.

“It has caused me some embarrassment because I am not going to publicly come here and say that it is this agency and that agency is responsible, but I will say to you that Go-Invest is frustrated when we have 200 applications for that land and we have done assessments. I myself have assessed over

Shawn Hinds fingered in intended ‘hit’ against PM Nagamootoo

By Ravin Singh

LESS than one week after making startling revelations against the criminal enterprise in Guyana which he admitted to being a part of - self-professed former ‘Death Squad’ member, Shawn Hinds, has now found himself in hot water after being fingered in an intended hit on Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo.

These latest developments were brought to light

by Nagamootoo yesterday during a meeting with reporters.

The Prime Minister related that information which surfaced just a few days ago, suggested that Hinds had been identified in a parked car in the vicinity of his residence and was gaging his activities just about two weeks ago. The event which reportedly unfolded just after 20:00hrs forced Nagamootoo to take a photograph of the vehicle which was parked just beyond his bridge outside of his Liliendaal, North Sophia home.

After residents had been alerted about Hinds’ presence in the neighbourhood and the Police were summoned, he reportedly drove away immediately.

But according to the Prime Minister, Hinds was not alone.

In fact, a black car, which had been identified as one belonging to former Attorney General (AG), Anil Nandlall, was seen in the opposite direction.

“Someone informed us that it was identified as one of Nandlall’s vehicle, possibly driven by a former driver identified with Nandlall,” Nagamootoo disclosed.

Drawing an obvious conclusion that he might have been a possible target of Shawn Hinds, the PM suggested that the former death squad member needs to explain why he was present in the vicinity of his home, since it is not the first time Hinds has been featured in issues related to Nagamootoo’s security.

“We have alerted the police and they have been trying

to contact Shawn Hinds and so I think it was out of that event - a heighten police interest in Shawn Hinds that he might have decided

he (Hinds) had an interest in him, to which Hinds responded with a laugh.

Reiterating that the information received had indi-

to seek refuge at Freedom House or (from) whatever other things he did,” the PM reasoned.

Prior to this however, after Mr Nagamootoo had realised that Hinds had some form of connection to his security, he approached the ‘notorious character’ who was at the time working at City Hall and enquired whether

cated that Shawn Hinds had been the figure behind the wheels of the car spotted in his neighbourhood, the Prime Minister told the press that when the vehicle’s number was traced, it did not match the initial colour the car was registered with.

Against this backdrop, he offered that one could make a meaningful speculation whether it was a false

number that appeared on the car’s number plate. The information which was received in this regard was then relayed to the Commissioner of Police and other Security agencies by Nagamootoo.

But in the interest of his safety, given these revelations supported by evidence, the Prime Minister submitted that Shawn Hinds be arrested.

Fingered in allegations related to Nagamootoo’s security also, is Rajput Narine, the second suspect currently held by the Police in relation to the murder of political activist, Courtney Crum-Ewing, earlier this year.

Narine, who had been identified as a former bodyguard of Nandlall, had reportedly showed an interest in serving as one of the PM’s personal security, during the intense political campaign.

“He is the same person that had showed an interest in me and came to my office during the campaign and offered his services as one of my backup security; he said he would ‘watch my back’,” PM Naga-

mootoo disclosed to reporters yesterday.

But he was taken aback by the seeming “nervousness” which manifested when Narine approached him to propose his services. Reflecting on the series of activities leading up to this point, Nagamootoo then questioned whether the nervousness of the man at that time had been an indication that he (Nagamootoo) was a target of some kind.

“Did he know something?

Did he hear something? Was his nervousness anything to do with me being a target of some sort?” the PM questioned, adding that his memory fails him in remembering whether Narine had been employed by Customs and Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) or the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).

Following this, the PM said that the man then pursued membership with the Alliance For Change (AFC), which he is unsure whether he was able to secure.

“All of this now are

things that are unravelling and it is strange that you can situate someone in a situation where he was working for the former AG, was already working for the State, his name is being called in relationship with criminal elements and he had found a person like me leading up to the elections; a person of interest whom he wanted to protect” Nagamootoo stated.

Lamenting that these events might have been part of a wider conspiracy which is beyond the view of the average man, the PM suggested that the police should now follow all leads to see where there was a criminal syndicate attached to the PPP. To this end, he declared: “I have a suspicion that there might have been [a conspiracy] because why would the former Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee, go public during the campaign to say that ‘those who ain’t dead would be badly wounded?’ Why? It is a matter for him to explain.”

Guyana

A TIME FOR APPLAUSE

TODAY marks a special occasion in the glorious modern revolutionary history of the Government and people of Cuba. It is the anniversary of what is recalled by Cuba and its friends and allies around the world as the ‘26th of July Movement’.

Brainchild of the aged phenomenal Cuban leader in retirement, Fidel Castro, the historic launch of the July 26 Movement had marked the first strike by a group of revolutionary fighters under his leadership against the notorious dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista that was to result on January 1, 1959 in what the world came to know as “the Cuban revolution”.

Sadly, having lived, often in agony, with the notorious Batista dictatorship for many years but realising that the Castro-led revolutionary Government in Havana had no appetite for footsy-type ‘Uncle Sam’ politics to weaken the zeal and spirit of the unfolding unique revolution, the USA’s then young and bright President, John F. Kennedy, surprisingly

severed diplomatic ties with Cuba in 1962.

Worse, successive tenants of The White House in Washington and the U.S. congress were to unleash a series of the most punitive financial, trade and economic embargo measures against that small nation of our Caribbean Region.

The blockade was to last for more than 42 years before it became quite evident to the key players in all sectors of the mighty USA, the world’s sole superpower, that they had to put an end to this quite punishing weapon against the people of a small nation still unwilling to cry ‘Uncle Sam’.

By last year, while he was still engaged in his famous double-speak politics on maintaining political prisoners at Guntanamo Bay, President Barack Obama, to his credit -- and thanks much also to the vision and wisdom of Pope Francis -- the first Latin America-born pontiff, was ready to enter into a new and historic USA-Cuba relationship.

The rest is now part of the more inspiring features of the Obama Presidency whose Cuban burden Pope Francis had

gladly and creatively enabled but certainly has no intention to sing about it.

The end result, as the world have come to appreciate, is that of this July month, in the year 2015, the world’s sole superpower, and little Cuba are once again -- after some 53 years of broken, bitter relations, together again all fully diplomatically clothed.

Their respective national flag is fluttering in each other’s administrative capital as work continues to hasten the removal of lingering obstacles that remind us of the inhumane American embargo, now in its 53rd year against the small but quite proud revolutionary nation Cuba, a cherished friend of the Caribbean.

Both Presidents, Barack Obama and Raoul Castro, deserve the applause; and neither would forget the quiet role played by Pope Francis.

Review Committee to visit Iwokrama at month-end

By Shivanie Sugrim

THE Review Committee recently established to revise the operations of the Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development will be paying a visit to the centre at the end of this month.

This was revealed by Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman, in a recent interview with this publication.

The committee will visit to eye the facilities and devise models to safeguard sustainability, since the centre has been faced with financial constraints.

Minister Trotman recently approved a grant of US$100,000 for the centre to continue its work until yearend. This grant had been approved by the former Administration, but it was never handed over to the centre.

In explaining why the money had not been handed over by the previous Administration, Minister Trotman said that Administration had been overtaken by time with the elections.

Therefore, he said, the Granger Administration, since assuming office, has ensured that funds were delivered to ensure the viability of the centre, since it was in a situation where it could not meet its operational expenses, pay its staff, and meet other expenses.

Commonwealth Secretary-General, Mr. Kamalesh Sharma

made it clear during his recent visit to Guyana that the Commonwealth would not be able to fund the operational costs of the centre, but would provide technical and financial support for the development of a self-sustainable model.

This, he said, is because the centre was meant to be self-sustaining, but instead had cost the Commonwealth £3.5 million and has been the longest and most expensive project undertaken by the organisation.

Chairman of the centre, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, is currently embroiled in legal battles in his home country of India, while the patronage of Prince Charles has run dry, as he is distracted by other international commitments.

These reasons informed the limited funding for the centre, as it was in a situation where inflows had reduced significantly. For this reason, the Review Committee was set up to revise the works of the centre and devise a renewed mandate which would enable it to be self-sufficient, as was the initial aim of the project.

Sub-committees were established to revise the centre’s budget and financing, research and training, governance and management. The committee is, however, chaired by Minister Trotman.

The budget and financing committee will be spearheaded by Professor Hamley Case, Permanent Secretary of the Indigenous Affairs Ministry; Vibert Welch, Vice-President

of Conservation International; Dr. David Singh, CEO of the Iwokrama Centre; Dane Gobin, and a representative from the Tourism Ministry.

The governance aspect will be addressed by Dr. David Singh, Commissioner of the Protected Areas Commission; Damian Fernandes, and Vibert Welch; while the management structure will be addressed by Dane Gobin, Director of Resource Management at Iwokrama; Dr. Raquel Thomas and Advisor in the Ministry of Governance, Clayton Hall.

Research and training will be addressed by Dr. Raquel Thomas and Dr. Allyson Stoll from the University of Guyana.

The committee is expected to present its final findings

by August 17. President David Granger will then present the centre’s new plan at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Malta come November.

Aside from the Centre’s commitment to preserving Guyana’s rainforest and combatting climate change, many are of the view that the Centre has only been targeting researchers, and not actual tourists. In this regard, Minister Harmon recently said the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Public Infrastructure are now planted within the review committee, and will therefore seek to address the matter of turning the centre into a tourist destination, and not just an exploratory centre.

The Shawn Hinds’ Revelations

THE flurry of revelations over the last few days surrounding the assassination of two political activists has taken the country by surprise. First, after what seems like yet another addition to the list of unsolved murders, the police suddenly announced that they had in their custody a suspect that they were certain was connected to the murder of political activist, Courtney Crum-Ewing.

Only a few days before one of our columnists, Dr. David Hinds, had raised the matter anew and called on the police and the Minister of Public Security to move with some haste to bring the killers to book. We followed up with an Editorial on the matter.

The police reported that they had stumbled upon the suspect in the course of investigations into another crime.

It seems that the witness has implicated others in the plot, because soon after a former bodyguard of ex-Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, was arrested. Mr. Nandlall has since denied any knowledge of Crum-Ewing’s murder.

For the now Opposition Parliamentarian, this may be too close for comfort, as it was his recorded conversation with a Kaieteur News journalist that triggered Crum-Ewing’s protest in front of the Attorney General’s office.

Then, out of the blues, known PPP enforcer, Shawn Hinds, appeared on ‘HGP TV Nightly News’ with a bombshell interview. Hinds admitted that he was part of a notorious ‘Death Squad’ that was responsible for the murder of several persons. While he did not explicitly name

any top Government functionary, his testimony seems to be pointing in that direction.

Hinds went on to deny any knowledge of Crum-Ewing’s murder. But, he revealed that he was contracted to murder the outspoken political activist, Ronald Waddell, who was gunned down in front of his home in January 2006. While he, Hinds, claims that he did not pull the trigger, he named former Assistant Commissioner, Steve Merai as the killer.

There are suggestions that he is bending the truth to save his skin. The PPP has said that the Government is setting Hinds up to implicate the party in wrong doings.

The Government, for its part, has said it would like to hear more from Hinds. In the meantime, the police have asked Hinds to turn himself SHAWN HINDS in.

What to make of all these developments? Whether Hinds’ story has any credibility will hopefully be determined sooner rather than later.

However, what seems to be obvious is that there were rela-

tionships between the underworld and members of the then Administration. It was long established that former Home Affairs Minister, Ronald Gajraj, did have contact with the head of the so-called Phantom Squad, Axel Williams.

Mr. Gajraj was subsequently relieved of his ministerial post and sent as Guyana’s ambassador to India. It was later established that notorious underworld operative Roger Khan was also involved in a rage of questionable actions.

We will not pass judgement at this time, but something went terribly wrong during the last Administration. WPA’s Co-Leader, Professor Clive Thomas, had some years ago advanced what he called the criminalisation of the State - the merging of the criminal underworld with the State.

Why did the Government or at least some of its functionaries have these relations with these dangerous elements?

Shawn Hinds revealed that after he thought the police were out to get him, he retreated to Freedom House. The former governing party has a lot of explaining to do. The top brass of the Police Force including the Commissioner also has a lot of questions to answer.

It is difficult to believe that all of this activity went on without the knowledge of the police. The accusations of police involvement are serious. Can the present police leadership be trusted to lead a thorough investigation and prosecution of the killers and the intellectual authors? In the meantime we await further revelations from Shawn Hinds who, it is suspected, has a lot more to divulge.

Immigration in the Obama era

By Keith Burrowes RECENTLY, Obama issued an Executive Order on immigration, a story that might have otherwise gained traction in Guyana were it not for it being drowned out by our own local politics and the stories of flooding.

In summary, the U.S. President used legal but last resort executive powers to push through sweeping reforms on immigration, a move that, according to one ABC report, “has vast implications for millions of individuals and their families, with short - and long-term impacts on the nation’s economy, political demographics and Washington’s perpetual power struggle.”

Judging from other reports, it has a potential impact on the lives of 4.7 million illegal immigrants to be exact.

To be clear, Obama’s executive orders are not citizenship nor do they even amount to a path to citizenship. A cynical view coming from some quarters is that the measures don’t go far enough and what they amount to is giving legitimacy to the illegals as primarily lower-paid labour and contributors to the tax system, while denying them any of the privileges that come with citizenship.

Another view, and one that I am more inclined to agree with, is that this was a master stroke from a President who has been criticised at times for not using the tremendous KEITH BURROWES

power at his disposal, even when the Democrats commanded a majority in congress.

With his political opponents in control of the legislature, Obama has made a move worthy of Abraham Lincoln himself in that he has forced them to take a stand on what is essentially a moral, human rights issue. This comes after two years of deadlock on immigration reform, a state of limbo preferable to Republicans who are caught between an anti-immigrant, militant, right-wing powerbase, and the reality of the need to reach out to a growing immigrant population in order to gain the elec* U.S. PRESIDENT toral advantage in presidential BARACK OBAMA elections.

Obama’s executive order, which will not take effect for six months, puts the ball in the Republican-controlled congress to come up with and pass workable immigration legislation of its own. As Obama put it in a recent talk: "I cajoled and I called and I met. I told [House Speaker] John Boehner, 'I'll wash your car. I'll walk your dog. Whatever you need me to do, just call the bill.' That’s how democracy is supposed to work…. I didn't dissolve Parliament. That's not how our system works. I didn't, you know, steal away the various clerks in the Senate and the House who manage bills.

They can still pass a bill. I don't have a vote in Congress. Pass

a bill."

What the Republicans are not talking about, and this is the issue upon which I believe that Obama has made his gamble, is that America has traditionally been built upon immigrant labour and today is no different. Many of the very Republicans who are protesting immigration today are the offspring of poor, marginalised immigrants 100 years ago.

The Republicans have now been put in a position wherein they have to come up with a strategy that both appeals to their base and does not alienate immigrant voters; or they can accept defeat and accept the executive orders.

On the downside, there is a high possibility that Republican rhetoric could end up hurting immigrants in America, something that countries like Guyana can ill afford. Remittances from the diaspora accounted for some US$400 million in 2012, or some 17% of the GDP. A significant amount of that came from the United States, and it only accounts from documented money transfers; if we were to factor money and goods sent or brought in, and the contributions of illegal immigrants.

Whatever the perspective one wants to take on this, the global implications of this move for developing countries cannot be overstated, with Guyana being no exception. A recent survey, a report on which was published in the New York Times, put the estimated population of Guyanese in New York alone at around 140,000.

That is roughly one-sixth of the current population of Guyana at present, and it does not account for significant Guyanese presence in other places like Florida or Georgia, nor does it account for the no doubt significant undocumented Guyanese, persons who would most likely not be willing to make themselves available for such a survey.

One issue that I will cover in the future is the ‘Obamacare’ and its relation to remittances.

A re-focused export and industrialisation policy for the rice industry

I

By Sase Singh in Washington, DC

N 2012, rice was the second most dominant staple food in the world behind corn. Structurally, the traded market is a residual one. Many of rice producing countries (mainly in Asia), consumed significant portions of their own production.

The largest rice consuming countries outside of Asia are Brazil, Nigeria and the United States.

In 2014, rice export earnings were the second largest for Guyana behind gold; some US$250 million. This industry employs some 5,300 farmers and supports some 110,000 persons nationally.

Therefore, this Venezuela/Guyana state of affairs will have deep adverse socio-economic impact in rural Guyana, if we do not act urgently to secure new markets. Need I remind readers; Georgetown is not Guyana.

This rice crisis however, has opened many new marketing opportunities. Brazil, Nigeria and the United States, along with the CARICOM market have great scope for Guyana. In addition to these core countries, emerging markets that are within Guyana shipping proximity such as Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroun, Angola, South Africa, Haiti, Guinea, Gambia, and Congo must also be pursued. Speaking to this statement, one would think that this Venezuelan situation has created the opportunity to open a small High Commission in Accra (Ghana), a long-standing South-South partner. This High Commission

“gunboat diplomacy” as is being practiced by Venezuela, even if the price is the loss of the rice/oil barter arrangement. Even little countries must have some self-respect and self-dignity. Thank you President Granger for making us all proud for your principled stance on the issue.

RICE - COST OF PRODUCTION If one is to observe the world rice prices over the years, they would notice that it continues to decline from a high of US$610 per MT in September 2011 to approximately US$385 in May 2015.

Although the Venezuelan market offered a preferential price, Guyana received an average price of US$500 per MT in 2014, for all of its rice exports.

But this Venezuela issue unearthed an even bigger problem in the industry; artificial distortions in the market both from a production and marketing perspective.

Although the yield has increased over the years from an average of 25 bags of paddy per acre in 1994 to over 36 bags of paddy per acre in 2013, the cost of the main input into the industry – fertilizer and agro-chemicals, labour, land preparation, flood control, fuel and so on, have all increased over the years, putting severe upward pressures on the costs of production.

Therefore opportunities to enhance the competitiveness of the industry remains: further increases in the yield, more efficiency in the procurement and use of fertilizers and agro-chemicals and a better water management programmes.

Bulk procurement of fertilizers and agro-chemicals by the State for both the rice and sugar industry should be considered to partially supply the market. Vitally needed also is a greater injection of hard sciences into the industry especially in agro-engineering (better canal maintenance programmes).

When science amalgamates with experience, we can expect the yields to improve. My past interaction with the Guyanese farmers revealed a strong talent pool with much experience.

However, they will need to more actively engage science to master their costs of production. That relation has to continually be fostered by the State with serious investments into organisations like the Department of Agriculture and Natural Sciences at the local University, the Rice Research Stations, IAST, NDIA and of course NARIE. BROKERAGE COSTS

can play a leading economic role in penetrating the African market, not just for rice, but also sugar and non-traditional exports.

PETRO-CARIBE In 2009, after recognising that Guyana’s debt to Venezuela increased by US$143 million as a result of the Petro-Caribe Agreement, the deceased Bolivarian leader of Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez agreed to the proposal from Guyana to barter ‘Rice for Oil’. This Rice for Oil deal was sound since it created the condition for debt reduction and the better management of several risks.

But this Agreement is no reason for Chavez’s predecessor to bully a smaller nation in 2015. President Muduro must not be allowed to make Guyana into a pawn in his geo-political and internal struggles against his political opponents. The people of the Co-operative Republic are not his enemy; we are his friends.

Therefore Guyana has all rights to reject at every forum this

The marketing of Guyana’s rice is severely distorted and the GRDB has to be blamed for this. This entire process has to be deconstructed and reconstructed to ensure that the brokerage charges and other freight related cost are fully transparent and well understood by the millers and other shippers of rice.

If the current service provider is overcharging, then this rate has to be re-negotiated or an alternative service provider sought out.

FREIGHT COSTS Freight cost from Port Georgetown remains uneconomical and exorbitant. Why? The state of the shipping channels in the Demerara River can best be described as counter-productive over the last decade.

In the days of Guymine, the 12 mile channel through Port Georgetown had an average depth of 22 ft.; today it is a mere 13 ft. in most places.

Sase Singh

An immediate injection of G$4 billion to properly dredge the channel is urgently needed to significantly impact the cost of freight being shipped out of Port Georgetown.

This is not a project that can wait. The poor state of the channel continues to make trading with Georgetown close to impractical.

INDUSTRIALISATION IN THE RICE INDUSTRY After the productive experience with the “Break O’ Day” rice cereal in the 1980’s, one would have expected another attempt years ago.

This new investment into a rice cereal factory on the Essequibo Cost is most welcomed. As a cornerstone to transforming the industry, Guyana urgently needs to build more alliances with major value-added producers of rice products across the world.

There is no reason why Guyana cannot be a major rice cereal player in the world? But for this to happen we have to think big and work with the Diaspora to create the right kind of access in places like Battle Creek, Michigan, where the big boys and girls at Kellogg’s are planning their next meaningful international investments.

All global investors are constantly looking for international locations that will allow them to bring new innovations to the market and generate adequate demand for their new value-added products.

With one stroke of the pen, a Kellogg’s factory in Guyana can enhance value received by farmers for their production. It can be done but as I said before, we need to leverage the right relationships to open the right doors.

CONCLUSION It would make all Guyanese so proud if as a 50th Independence Anniversary gift to ourselves, we can bring some solutions to the table on the big ticket challenges, rice being one of them. Guyana has friends and we must leverage that friendship to ensure that we will not be strangulated economically in an environment of covetous geo-political antagonism.

Next time I shall be continuing this conversation on the question of Plantation type agriculture on the West Demerara and its relevance to the sugar industry.

MICHAEL is

Back

Dr Paloma Mohammed

OF ART AND CULTURE - the Theatre is not dead, just presently dormant

By Ras Michael I have been around the block and done a few things before.

Some have told me I’m a ‘culture man’.

It’s a simple statement from simple people which I simply accept as an honour without the baggage of neither arrogance nor ego. If I had been personally asked I would have replied that I am an artist. That’s who I am. Theatre, Literature, and Poetry are the canvasses I stretch and prime and paint upon.

Discipline is the chisel I used to carve myself out of strong mohagany and purple heart trunks of humanity so that some may hear my voice and a few behold my presence for creation is the voice of God. I have been writing columns again in the Chronicle for almost two weeks now. I enjoy writing columns for it affords me the independence to create and to employ numberless resources, the most highly prized of which are human resources.

Respect and a spiritual intuition made me after two weeks go to seek out Rashid Osman in his office. The Mr Osman I know is a wonderful person.

He is one of the few persons in media who helped to promote theatrical arts and its practitioners. We sat down and after pleasantries and preambles he offered me reasons proving the relevance, especially for present times of writing columns that would promote and ensure a return to the more acceptable standards of theatre that prevailed in Guyana during its most active years of the early sixties to mid nineteen nineties (my interpretation of his intention).

I had heard that before, not in the same words but with the same concern for what we had become artistically today.

Fifteen or so minutes after landing in Georgetown for the first time in about two decades I had met my old friend Russel.

It didn’t take him long to make his point. He was happy I was back. It was time he felt for plays and performances of a higher standard. There were others too. I can truthfully say that I have embraced all reasonings and have begun to add my shoulders to the wheel.

The Theatre of the nineteen sixties was at the highest level ever experienced in Guyana. The Theatre Guild was the focal point for dramatical presentations and there were quite a few. At this point it is quite appropriate to say that in my conversation with Mr Osman, his primary concern was with the writing of the Script. And that is what we should address.

The Script is important. It is the vehicle that transports the drama. The Actor is the driver of the action. Truth is, the concern is about poor scripts. Scripts are poor for various reasons, all can be corrected. However, I have learnt from members of society that I interact with that some scripts are bordering on indecency and degeneracy, sheer lawlessness.

We had very good scripts written in the past by Guyanese writers at home. I know too that a number of one act scripts were published by the University of The West Indies. The problem I have come to recognise is that the poor quality of writing is directly related to the dominant culture of the time.

Fear! Fear has strangled the voices and conscience has died from asphyxia. It is time for re-addressing the passing on of the tools of writing to new, younger and less fearful aspirants.

We have had great local productions during the six-

ties. One play comes immediately to mind and that is a play written and directed by a mentor of mine, Slade Hopkinson. Slade was the most knowledgeable theatre personality of those times.

It was a play entitled ‘Spawning of Eels’. It was an excellent theatrical vehicle. I also recall the ‘University of Hunger’ and unless mistaken, that was written by Jan Carew and was highlighted by Francis Quamina Farrier sterling performances from Clairmont Taitt and Robert Naraine.

Those plays took place in the sixties. However, there was a similar initiative being undertaken at the local radio station and it was spearheaded by Ray Robinson who trained us for voice in theatre, on the radio, which requires some technique since it depended almost entirely on the power of the voice to convey the drama in all its nuances to a listening audience.

I wrote for this ‘Radio Repertory Theatre’ and one of the plays I wrote was ‘How Love Must Die’; another was entitled ‘The Cat’. Francis Farrier had, during that time, captured the imagination of the Guyanese listening public with his ‘Tides of Susanburg’.

Then there was Winslow Fraser who specialised in ‘Mock Court Dramas’ one of his plays was entitled, ‘Body in the Lamaha’. Meanwhile over at the Guild there were independent productions by Bertram Charles and Francis Farrier’s Dramatic Core.

At that time Guyana had many fine actors both male and female. It would be correct to also mention a few of them, Elizabeth Wells was one of them so was Sita Singh, Clairmont Taitt, Robert Naraine, Frank Pilgrim a writer, Director and actor of talent, Mark Matthews was there, Diane Chin was there and so was Patty Gomes and many others.

I could exhaust these pages by mentioning just the talent that was available but we should not forget Ken Corsbie, one of the best there was.

My intention is to develop several columns on this theme so there is time and space to discuss more in detail for there is the work of Ron Robinson and Frank Pilgrim to discuss.

Later down in the eighties/nineties Harold Bascom, Dr Paloma Mohammed, Ken Danns, Ronald Hollingsworth, Vivian Williams and others wrote fine plays and offered them for public consumption. I spanned this era and so am ably qualified to discuss it.

At the present stage, the theatre is in disgrace compared to what it was before. There is much more to be said and written in the next few weeks for the re-opening of workshops and for re-training of actors and writers as well as directors will soon commence. The theatre is not dead, just presently dormant.

HINDS’SIGHT

On the African Guyanese condition By: Dr. David Hinds IN another week Guyanese and African Guyanese would be celebrating Emancipation. The spotlight would turn on this important section of our national tapestry. The sordid history of the African would be repeated. The culture would be elevated to national status. And most importantly, I hope the current socio-economic and cultural condition of the African Guyanese would be highlighted and discussed I was asked recently to suggest corrective measures that could be taken to aid in African Guyanese revitalization --a theme that I have been addressing at community meetings organised by Cuffy250, an African Guyanese organisation to which I belong.

My first response was that in order to get to correcting the problem, one has to first get to the underlying causes of the problem. My second response was that, coming up with solutions would require two interrelated approaches.

First, there needs to be a broad conversation with the people in the communities about how they want to deal with their problems.

Second, the experts - economists, educators, historians, lawyers, etc, - need to get together with the communities and come up with a plan that is premised on the needs of the communities. In effect, there is need for a two-way conversation.

A lot of the problems in the African Guyanese commu-

nities have to do with the challenges that the African Guyanese economy has had to face historically.

First, we have to start with the challenges within the context of the colonial economy, which saw the African Village economy as a direct affront to the interests of colonialism.

Second, we have to look at it within the context of the ethnic competition, from decolonisation to the present, whereby the ethnic demarcation of the Guyanese economy, itself a legacy of colonialism, has made economic progress in the separate ethnic communities a victim of the larger ethnic politics.

Although the decline in African Guyanese community is not just economic, I think their economic condition has a lot to do with it. Similarly, although the decline started before 1992 when the PPP Government came to office, one should not disregard the impact of the loss of government by African Guyanese in our government-centered ethnically divided society. I think there was a negative impact on the group’s morale and self-confidence and objectively on opportunities for upward mobility.

African Guyanese have traditionally been located in the Bauxite Industry, the Public Service, Pork-knocking and the Village economy where farming, small business and vending predominate. Later, they dominated ‘Trading’ - bringing food and clothing for sale from other Caribbean countries.

In addition to the above, Education was an area of relief from poverty and social mobility. But over the last two de-

David Hinds

cades bauxite declined. Fourth, the Public Service stalled, thanks mainly to the IMF conditionalities and the ethnic interests of the PPP Government. Wages have not kept up with the cost of living. Education has declined. Agriculture in the villages has declined.

I think the combination of the above is at the heart of the “crisis” in the African Guyanese community. In addition, the evolution of a culture of accommodation with” political bribery “has led to a weakening of group solidarity, pride and dignity. Finally, the heavy migration has had a negative effect on the community. One of the devastating consequences has been the loss of role models who live day to day in the communities. Finally, one cannot discount the impact of some negative group habits, but these have to be seen within the larger dynamics of post-plantation evolution among the formerly enslaved.

DON’T BE CONNED!

TO be ‘conned’ is to be duped or swindled. The professional Conman seeks to con you by executing a Confidence Trick on you whereby you are persuaded to entrust valuables to him or her, because of trust-or confidence-in him or her.

There are professional confidence tricksters as well as those occasional con artists who seek to hoodwink the unsuspecting for short-term, once-for-all-gain. So Watch Out for some of these confidence tricks:

make immediate contact with the organisation. If they are phony you’ll see the reaction. They won’t wait around even if they have fake identification.

3. Some con-men always have a tale about imminent acquisition of money – they need a loan or board-and-lodging until it comes

by door-to-door-sales-people. Check these ‘Bargains’ On The Spot!

5. Devise ways of checking out sad-looking, down-and-out country people. Involve other relatives, neighbours and friends when you are approached, or want to donate.

6. Be on your guard against the fellows who seek to sell you gold. Purchase from a known jeweller or establishment.

Secure valid receipts and whenever convenient or possible, have a witness.

7. A popular form of ‘conning’ is for the rascals to claim that they are from specific firms, organisations or charities. Always ‘check sources’ before giving. It can be easy to unmask fakes.

8. When persons soliciting assistance approach, USE YOUR TELEPHONE NETWORK TO INFORM (ALERT) THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. 9.

If you are naïve or gullible enough to believe you can obtain visas or certain official documents from persons other than the official competent authority; or if you are superstitious enough to believe those who say they can remove the “evil spirit” you have in your tummy, this publication or the police can’t help you.

And God too, might not wish to.

– or their “connections” overseas are late with their commitments.

4. Always check the quality of consumer items being sold

(There are other forms of conning which we’ll discuss in future editions).

1. A poorly-dressed woman tells you a tale that –a) either her home “over the river” was burnt down b) her husband has left her and the children c) she needs to get back to Berbice or Essequibo d) she needs to buy medicine, or e) someone has just died for her; she therefore needs some help – preferably money.

Now, we’re not saying that Guyanese should stop helping the needy. We’re advising you to ask questions and, if possible, investigate before you give. You may even want to actually put the genuine needy in a taxi; give assistance other than cash and find ways of ensuring that your alternatives to cash are not being sold.

2. Male or female con artists frequently appear asking for cash donations to and on behalf of various organisations. The best way to deal with this type is to tell the person to wait while you

Trade Unions, Cooperatives are major players in Guyana’s development - and deserve their rightful place in the political order

By Lincoln Lewis THERE are institutions and structures in society that are informed by its cultural, economic and political development.

Identified among these are the trade union and cooperative which have been the bedrock in shaping what Guyana is today. The immediate post slavery society used cooperativism as a vehicle to purchase land which was used to establish the village movement, build houses and engage in business ventures. Out of this spirit of collaboration and solidarity, communities were formed to protect and advance the socio-economic wellbeing of participants.

It was this period that saw the beginning of an era of capitalism sheltered by the colonial masters that also saw a new form of exploitation of labour, which included unsafe working conditions, long hours at work, low compensation for hours in excess of eight, poor health and education services.

To ensure better benefits for workers and citizens, a change in the manner under which the country was managed had to be realised. The task of challenging the status quo to make real the people’s aspiration was taken up by Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow, who in 1905 led dock workers in a strike for improved wages and better working conditions.

It was a period when the decision to manage the welfare of state and that of the people’s wellbeing was seen as the prerogative of the colonial authority and merchant class. In fact, there was no right to vote by citizen unless he/she owned property and was educated based on the Crown’s standard.

1905 saw the people’s march to create a modern Guyana where they can have a stake at the decision-making table and their fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed. The right to equality through self-determination included the struggle for one man one vote, internal self-government, laws that protect the workers’ wellbeing in the workplace and wider society, improved working conditions, eight-hour work day, 40-hour work week, overtime pay, leave with pay, maternity leave, West Indian/Caribbean integration, prison reform, national minimum wage, workplace health and safety, freedom of association, collective bargaining, universal education and healthcare.

The trade union was joined in this struggle in 1949 with the formation of the Political Affairs Committee, which birthed the political life of Forbes Burnham and Cheddie Jagan.

In 1950, Guyana saw its first mass-based political party, the People’s Progressive Party, which embraced and ran with the programme of the trade union movement.

The trade union gave support to the political activities as a result of its permanent interest. It is for this reason when the 1953 Government failed and the national political movement split in 1955 the view is held in some quarters that these incidents were significant setback in the working-class struggle for socio-economic and political advancement.

The Guyana Constitution stipulates under Articles 149C and 38 the role of the trade union and cooperative as named institutions assigned involvement and management in the decision-making processes of the State which carries a corresponding “duty” to ensure “the people through sustained and disciplined endeavours…achieve the highest possible levels of production and productivity and to develop the economy in order to ensure the realisation of the rights….”

Because these are so stipulated, progressive trade unionists and adherents to the rule of law expect compliance.

These insertions also confirm the framers’ recognition that the mobilisation and rallying of our human and economic resources for development in a post-slavery society were carried by the cooperative and trade union movements and are integral for continuity. If we are serious about people-centred development to disregard a nation’s foundation which lies the strength on which its people has been able to organise and lift themselves

Now is the time to right the wrongs and put this nation back on tract where laws are supreme, people’s rights, freedoms, institutions and structures are safeguarded. up is to undermine the essence of nation-hood and the people’s goal!

Let me make it clear: conscious of the nation’s constitutional requirement no one has the right to be flippant or dismissive of these two institutions.

The point needs to be made that in 1942 a Labour Department was established by the colonial authority in recognition that labour has a leading role to play in development and moreso the trade union - which is one of the tripartite partners along with Government and employer - has a permanent and abiding interest in protecting and advancing the wellbeing of workers in the workplace and wider society.

Today, the nation is being told that the absence of a

The trade union and cooperative movements have been the vanguard in laying the foundation for modern Guyana and the development of its people. The Guyana Constitution has guaranteed them their place in the socio-economic and political order and such must be respected. them in miniaturising labour.

For though Social Protection is a basic right embraced by the United Nations and International Labour Organisation (ILO), Social Protection is only one (1) of four (4) strategic objectives of the ILO Decent Work Agenda, which the Government of Guyana embraced and which has informed the Guyana Decent Work Programme. Simply said, Social Protection is a part of Labour and not Labour a part of Social Protection. Labour comprises of a number of cross cutting issues which include youth, women, elderly, national insurance, job creation and protection, child labour and so forth.

Conversations and commitment to respect the rule of law cannot and must not ignore the spirit and intent of these instruments and the role of the people and their institutions in holding Government accountable to be responsive to needs guaranteed under the Constitution. Now is the time to right the wrongs and put this nation back on tract where laws are supreme, people’s rights, freedoms, institutions and structures are safeguarded.

The trade union and cooperative movements have been the vanguard in laying the foundation for modern Guyana and the development of its people. The Guyana Constitution has guaranteed them their place in the socio-economic and political order and such must be respected.

Protection will be provided for whistleblowers

13

– says Minister of State, Joe Harmon

- but they will ‘face the music’ if they were involved in criminal activities

By Ravin Singh

AMIDST damning revelations which continue to surface from allegedly ‘shady characters’ regarding murders and high-profile criminal activities that occurred before and after 2002, Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, on Friday last, assured the media that protection would be provided for the proverbial “whistleblowers”.

This comment comes at a time when self-professed former ‘death squad’ member Shawn Hinds has revealed that he took instructions from senior police officials at the Police headquarters of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in relation to criminal activities that took place during and after 2002.

In an exclusive interview with Travis Chase of the ‘HGP Nightly News’, Hinds admitted the following: “Years ago, they said I was in some killing squad. I would not sit here and deny that. If I wasn’t a part of a killing squad, this country wouldn’t have had law and order…because there was Shawn Brown and Dale Moore and Chip Teeth.”

One startling disclosure made by Hinds was that all of his orders in relation to criminal activities -- which included killings -- came from CID. He told Chase that he was supplied with a machine gun, and was instructed how to carry out his operations.

“I used to go and uplift a gun from CID headquarters -- a machine gun. So this thing is not no one-sided affair…

We were guided and we were in communication with senior people from CID headquarters,” he said.

Reiterating that their orders came directly from CID headquarters, Hinds added that he has in his possession communication containing instructions and how the killings should be done. He, however, did not specifically say whether he had killed anyone during that time.

The latest episode regarding criminal activities came just last week, when the bodyguard of former Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, was fingered in the shooting death of political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing on March 10, 2015. Crum-Ewing was shot in Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD) while urging residents to vote for the coalition comprising A Partnership for National Unity + the Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) at the upcoming polls.

Crum-Ewing’s murder suspect, Rajput Narine, who was allegedly ‘ratted out’ by the first suspect -- Regan Rodrigues, known as ‘Grey Boy’ -- was held for questioning earlier last week.

According to reports, prior to the gunning down of Crum-Ewing, Narine had allegedly approached Grey Boy with an offer of several million dollars to execute an Opposition activist, but the offer was Minister of State, refused.

Joseph Harmon Police sources are maintaining that ‘Grey Boy’, who was apprehended on July 17, is the trigger-man who sent the activist to his grave.

Following this alleged revelation, Nandlall sought to distance himself from any form of personal affiliation with Narine, explaining that his employment as a personal bodyguard came five days after the death of Crum-Ewing.

The former AG related that, prior to his employing Narine as his bodyguard, on March 15 of this year, he had never seen

Stabroek Market wharf to undergo urgent rehab work - Public Infrastructure Ministry to assist M&CC help

or spoken to Narine. He said Narine’s employment came from a recommendation made by Narine’s brother, who is one of Nandlall’s acquaintances. However, Nandlall said, Narine’s employment as bodyguard to the then AG ended prematurely because he, Nandlall, was dissatisfied with the quality of services provided by Narine.

In light of these revelations, and more which are expected to reach the public domain, Harmon told he media, following a political meeting held at Stabroek Market Square on Friday evening, that if people are prepared to deliver to the police and Government information which could lead to the capture of these notorious figures, then the kind of protection needed would certainly be provided to them.

“But like I said (on Thursday) (that) if persons are part of the criminal enterprise and they were involved or engaged in killing people and murdering people, then they will have to face the music too,” the Minister of State declared.

He added that there are arrangements in the structure of the Ministry of Public Security which can be activated to provide protection for individuals who would be at risk if they disclose information which could be relevant to criminal activities.

“So we are prepared to give the kind of protection to persons who are going to give us information that is going to lead to the arrest of these criminals,” Harmon reiterated, and added that these disclosures can essentially lead to who the intellectual authors of crime in this country really are.

As it relates to Hinds’ situation and whether amnesty would be provided, Harmon told reporters on Wednesday last: “If he discloses his connection with any criminal activity, he can look forward to some period of incarceration; but I am not offering any amnesty whatsoever to anybody who admittedly is involved in a criminal activity or criminal activities… Any such arrangement will have to be made with the police and the relevant authorities.”

salvage the wharf from further deterioration

By Telesha Ramnarine URGENT rehabilitation works to the Stabroek Market Wharf will commence shortly, the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) informed the media last week.

In about a week’s time, the Council would be meeting with vendors who operate in the area, to discuss the process of relocation to facilitate urgent repairs to the structure.

On Thursday last, a City Council delegation which included Town Clerk Royston King, Acting Mayor Ranwell Jordan, Councillor Junior Garrett, and members of the Council’s Finance Com-

mittee, met with Minister of Public Infrastructure, Mr David Patterson, and senior officers who are responsible for works.

The M&CC has said that the Minister committed to helping City Council correct the situation at the Stabroek Market wharf.

Senior officers of the Works Ministry would be assigned to work with the Council to help salvage the wharf from further deterioration.

Last September, a section of the badly dilapidated roof of the Stabroek Market wharf collapsed shortly before 05:00hrs, creating pandemonium, as vendors, just beginning to clean and set up their stalls

for the start of business, began running helter-skelter for safety.

Fortunately for citizens and their businesses below, what saved the day was the fact that the section which gave way was intercepted by, and became propped up on, a firmly constructed stall beneath.

Among the activities taking place under the derelict covering are: speedboats and other boats plying the Stabroek/Demerara River crossing; the loading and off-loading of plantain and other vegetable boats coming from the Pomeroon and other riverine areas around Regions 2 and 3 (Pomeroon-Supenaam),

and (West Demerara-Essequibo Islands); daily vegetable vending; and grocery stalls (wholesale and retail).

Guyana to join BRICS Development Bank - says provision more accommodating to Third World countries

By Tajeram Mohabir GUYANA will be moving to gain membership of the New Development Bank backed by the emerging nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, commonly referred to as the BRICS nations.

The new US$100 billion international bank, which is dedicated to the emerging BRICS countries, opened in China's commercial hub of Shanghai on Tuesday last.

Minister of State, Mr Joseph Harmon, in a brief interview yesterday, told the Chronicle that while the Administration has not yet had any discussion on the bank, the certainty is there that the Government will be applying for membership.

He pointed out that the Government will be going in this direction since access and terms for financing for development would be more accommodating to Third World countries.

This new bank has touted itself as an “alternative to the existing U.S.-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund [IMF]". It will address needs for infrastructure and sustainable development.

The new bank has been viewed as a challenge to Washington-based institutions, and comes as Beijing -- seeking a greater role on the global political stage to mirror its rise to become the world's second-largest economy -- is also setting up a separate Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

EARLIER COMMITMENT In July last year, former President Donald Ramotar had said his Administration would be moving to become

in a statement, said it hopes to work with the newcomer.

"We are committed to working closely with the New Development Bank and other multilateral institutions, offering to share our knowledge and to co-finance infrastructure projects," World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said.

Minister Harmon was at the time not certain if the former Administration had formally applied to become a member of the New Development Bank, but he said if they had already done so, the David Granger-led Administration will follow through.

Guyana has benefited immensely from closer bilateral relations with BRICS nations, especially China and India.

The grouping was originally known as "BRIC" before the inclusion of South Africa in 2010.

The BRICS members are all developing or newly industrialised countries, but they are distinguished

by their large, fast-growing economies and significant influence on regional and global affairs. Moreover, all five countries are G-20 members.

BRICS represents some three billion people in the world’s developing or newly industrialised countries, and has a combined nominal Gross Domestic Product of some US$16 trillion, and an estimated US$4 trillion in combined foreign reserves.

According to Wikipedia, the combined nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the five BRICS nations is equivalent to approximately 20 per cent of the gross world product.

Bilateral relations among BRICS nations have mainly been conducted on the basis of non-interference, equality, and mutual benefit (win-win). It is estimated that the combined GDP of BRICS would reach US$50 trillion by 2020.

FINANCE Minister Winston Jordan (centre) and his team, meeting with PPP’s officials for Annual Budget consultations

Gov’t engages Opposition PPP on Budget 2015 MINISTER of Finance, Winston Jordan, on Friday last, met with members of the Opposition People’s Progressive Party to discuss the 2015 Budget. The discussions took place at the Ministry of Finance.

According to the Finance Minister, the meeting which saw PPP’s General Secretary Clement Rohee and former Ministers Juan Edghill, Pauline Sukhai and Robeson Benn participating, “represents an opportunity for cooperating with the Government”.

Speaking with the Government Information Agency, Minister Jordan said, “At least there is some recognition there, that there is a Government in power and one you can sit with at the same table and agree on a set of policies and programmes or even not agree.”

The Finance Minister further noted that the meeting provided an opportunity for the Opposition to give their input.

“Their policies and programmes could be ventilated and programmes which the Government could consider in the shaping of the budget,” he said.

According to Minister Jordan, “We all live in this 83,000 square miles and so we should have an opportunity to represent our views, and have those views and policies be reflected in the programmes and policies that the sitting Government of the day makes and implement.”

Finance Minister Jordan reminded however, that “at the end of the day, the Executive is responsible for the budget”.

The Finance Minister and top ministry officials have, and will continue to have extensive consultations with various stakeholders with a view to completing and presenting the National 2015 Budget. The Minister, who is a highly qualified financial expert, had said earlier that he inherited some preparations for the 2015 budget but, the focus has since changed to reflect the agenda of the new APNU+AFC Administration.

‘Make development a priority, not

- Minister Ally at first Social Cohesion outreach in Belladrum

THE Ministry of Social Cohesion launched its regional consultation exercise at Belladrum, West Coast Berbice, yesterday, where Minister Amna Ally told the over 60 residents in attendance at the Belladrum Primary School, that with Local Government Elections fast approaching, residents need to make the issue of development a priority rather than putting race on the front burner.

According to a press statement, the purpose of this initiative is to engage citizens at the community level in a national conversation on the promotion of togetherness and national unity, one of the most important mandates of the Ministry.

Minister Ally explained the provisions of Article 149

of Guyana’s Constitution which prohibits any form of discrimination against any person on the grounds of race, place of origin, and/or political affiliation.

“Your relationships in the community are important. We want to promote useful and productive relationships within and among groups at the community level. How you relate to neighbouring communities, regardless of your ethnic background, is also important,” she said.

The minister explained that when individuals and groups fail to find common ground on issues that affect their development and when they are unable to resolve conflicts that arise from time to time, the society breaks down. In this regard, Minister Ally said her ministry wants to build trust among

Regional Chairman, Vickchand Ramphal expressing his support for the Ministry’s programme to foster un

communities and, for that to happen, there must be behavioural changes and the creation of an atmosphere of peace and acceptance.

Residents welcomed the initiative and recommended youth involvement and strong relationships between the community and its leaders. Belladrum resident, Julian David said “Residents need to have closer relationships with their NDCs and RDCs and more importantly, there should be no place for party politics in community development.”

According to the statement, he called for effective communication between leaders and ordinary citizens saying it is key to ensuring that communities become more united. David said that often, leaders allow themselves to become isolated by the Office that they hold and communities are left feeling neglected.

support Guyana-Brazil cross border trade with the industrial zone in Boa Vista, while establishing Lethem as a major hinterland port.

It was noted that Lethem and the general Rupununi area has tremendous potential for agriculture, agro-processing, manufacturing, warehousing, light manufacturing, and port facilities through access to enormous markets in Boa

Vista, Roraima State and Manus, Amazonia State.

BENEFITS The Lethem Development Plan 2005-2010 noted that expanded commercial activity has the potential to better provide local and regional goods and services, support employment areas, provide employment and generally enhance the health and vitality of the local economy.

It said there is also an op-

portunity to integrate the developing transport network with planned commercial development so as to create community activity centres.

The plan stated that there is a definite need for the provision of more basic commodities in and around the community and mix-use arrangements targeting this need should be encouraged.

“Within the existing built-up area, the commercial shopping needs of the

community are provided for predominantly by means of small neighbourhood-type units such as groceries, parlours, snackettes and liquor distribution enterprises,” the report said.

Lethem aside, Mr Burrowes said in the request for land, potential investors have to submit a project document on the intended investment. This document is reviewed by Go-Invest before the agency decides on engaging the Guyana

Lands and Surveys Commission.

Land, he said are granted where available, and once industrial lands are available, applicants are referred to the Ministry of Business.

The forum also heard that concessions are not granted based on the level of investment by an investor, but on the provisions outlined in the law.

As it regards Tax Holidays, these Mr Burrowes said are granted by the Pres-

The outreaches are intended to be a first step in ensuring that communities work with their leaders to bring about social change.

Statement from Justice for Walter Rodney Committee - on winding down of the Commission of Inquiry THE Justice for Walter Rodney Committee is pleased with the Gazette notice that the life of the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry has been ex-

tended to November 2015.

This is a realistic deadline because most of the available evidence has already been laid before the Commission. While we are

aware that at least ten more witnesses have indicated willingness to testify, we are in agreement with statements made prior to the May 2015 general and regional elections in Guyana that the Commission could wind up its hearings after listening to testimony from three crucial witnesses.

At that time, Attorney-at-Law Basil Williams, who is now the Attorney General of Guyana had identified former head of the Guyana Defence Force Norman McLean, former Crime Chief of Guyana Cecil Skip Roberts, and Co-Leader of the Working People’s Alliance Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, as crucial witnesses who in his view should testify and be examined before the inquiry concludes. The Commission is yet to hear completed testimonies from these three key witnesses. We believe that the Commission of Inquiry

Dr Walter Rodney can conclude its work after hearing from these crucial witnesses.

While we are in agreement with the November 2015 deadline for completion of the work of the COI, we are concerned about the imposed deadline for the Commission to conclude hearing closing submissions from lawyers by July 28, 2015.

This deadline does not seem to take consideration on the need for the Commissioners to hear testimony

from remaining witnesses. We believe this course of action should be reconsidered. The Rodney family needs closure.

Guyana needs closure and more especially because the country is now embarking on a path towards national reconciliation.

From the beginning of this process, friends, colleagues, and compatriots of Walter Rodney have felt that this inquiry is one of the pillars for the much needed process of national reconciliation, which must unfold in Guyana. An important signal of the readiness of all the political parties to begin this process came in 2005 when the People’s National Congress (PNC), led at the time by Mr. Robert Corbin, participated in the unanimous decision of the National Assembly to establish a Commission of Inquiry into Walter Rodney’s killing.

This was an important signal of the readiness of the People’s National Congress to put the past behind us. The decision heralded the beginning of this process.

In the spirit of reaching across the aisle demonstrated by the joining of parliamentary votes between the Working People’s Alliance and the People’s National Congress in 2005, and the work that has been done since then that saw the establishment firstly of APNU and then the APNU+AFC Alliance, the Justice for Walter Rodney Committee recommends that the three panel Commission of eminent Caribbean Jurists be engaged with in discussion, and a mutual deadline be established.

Human skeletal remains found at Burnham Park buried THE skeletal remains of a male, which was found in a weed-infested trench, just outside the Burnham Park in New Amsterdam, was buried at the Stanleytown cemetery.

The rotting remains was initially taken to the Arokium Funeral Home, last week, but had to be buried because of its advance state of decomposition, said police sources.

This newspaper was informed that no one had recently lodge a missing person report at the local stations.

Meanwhile, the skeletal remains which was clad in a kaki shirt and a black pants was initially seen by persons hunting for iguanas in the area.

Following a report and the subsequent presence of the police, it was discovered that the visible portions were devoid of muscles, hair or eyes, making it difficult to ascertain the man’s ethnicity. (Jeune Bailey Vankeric)

West Berbice wedding house on claim of murder accused freed -self-defence

By Jeune Bailey Vankeric

JUSTICE Navindra Singh, presiding in the Berbice Criminal Assizes, upheld defence submissions and freed Bheem Evans, called ‘Lujo’, of responsibility for the death of Jaipaul Sampuran, alias ‘Jai’, which occurred at Number 11 Village, West Coast Berbice between June 28 and 29, 2013.

Defence counsel Mr Raymond Ali was able to establish that Evans had acted in self-defence.

In his caution statement, Evans had told investigators that he was at a wedding house when a man, whom he identified by his ethnicity, accused him of stealing a bicycle.

“He started to lash me, and I run. He ran behind me.

I got vex and I picked up a piece of wood and I lash he three times. He fell. I ran to the backlands, as I did not want the police to catch me;

Bheem Evans but they found me”, Evans’s caution statement had read.

Detective Corporal Dharmendra Indarpaul testified that he was stationed at the Fort Wellington Police Station when, on June 29, 2013, he visited the scene of an alleged crime at the residence of Mohammed Sheriff Khan

at Number 11 Village.

The corporal said he had observed the motionless body of a male, identified as Jaipaul Sampuran, lying face downwards. He said he had observed that a piece of wood was under the hand of the deceased, and that next to the head of the deceased

was another piece of lumber lying, upon which were bloodstains.

He said he had given instructions to Crime Scene Investigator Lance Corporal Baichoo, who, after taking photographs, had observed a wound behind the left ear of the deceased.

The body was transported to the Fort Wellington Hospital mortuary by hearse belonging to Bailey’s Funeral Home, and a post-mortem examination was subsequently conducted by Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan, who revealed that the cause of Sampuran’s death was cerebral haemorrhage and fractures of the skull.

Consequently, the accused was arrested in the Number 11 backlands; and, under caution, he showed

the witness the injury he also had sustained to his head, allegedly inflicted by the deceased.

As a result, he was taken to the Fort Wellington Hospital, where he was seen by a medical practitioner, who issued a medical certificate.

In her address to the jury, State Prosecutrix Ms Natasha Backer had said the prosecution would attempt to prove the four elements of murder, in that it was Jaipaul Sampuran, who was killed; he had died within a day and a year of the incident; at the time the offence was committed, the accused had intended to kill or cause him grevious bodily harm; and at the time of the incident, the accused did not inflict

injuries on the deceased by accident, self-defence, or through provocation.

But in his submissions, Defence Counsel Raymond Ali, citing legal authorities, noted that his client had acted in self-defence.

Addressing Bheem Evans after the jury had been instructed to return a formal verdict of not guilty, Justice Singh told him: “Mr Evans, the court has found you not guilty. Based on the evidence, Jaipaul was attacking you, and you were defending yourself. You will not be penalised for that.

All I can tell you is: you see how easy it was to get into problem? Avoid problems.

You are discharged from custody.”

Food for the Poor donates US$1,500 worth of wheelchairs - in Region Six to disabled persons

By Jeune Bailey Vankeric FOOD for The Poor (FFTP) Guyana Incorporated, in collaboration with the St Francis Community Developers (SFCD), distributed 30 wheelchairs to applicants from the Disabled People’s Network and the Department of Education in East Berbice, Region Six. The initial nine recipients were given wheelchairs in a simple ceremony held at the SFCD Headquarters at Portuguese Quarters in Port Mourant on the Corentyne Coast. The following persons were among the initial recipients of wheelchairs: Eight–year-old Deonarine Singh, called ‘Ajay’, of Angoy’s Avenue in New Amsterdam, who incidentally was the youngest recipient. His disability, discovered when he was just three years old, has rendered him challenged to walk. He attends the Special Needs School in New Amsterdam.

Dwight La Fleur, aged 18, and Sharmilla Goberdan, aged 40, both of Fyrish Village; and Haresh Prettipaul, aged 41, of Chesney Front -- all Corentyne areas; Ernestine Alfred, aged 77, of Angoy’s Avenue, and Hilton Morris of Lot 52 Stanleytown, within the New Amsterdam Township.

Meanwhile, FFTP Senior Manager and Head of the Gifts and Kind Department of that organisation, Mr. Jameel Davis, accompanied to the event by Executive Assistant Ms Lizanna Gordon, noted that commencement of the countrywide distribution of the 550 wheelchairs, each of which is valued at US$50, ideally began in the Ancient County “since Berbice seems to be well organised”.

He said the initiative is being undertaken in collaboration with the Free Wheelchair Mission (FWM) of the United States. That Mission, founded in 2001 by Laurie and Don Schoendorfer, is an international, faith-based, non-profit humanitarian organisation which is dedicated to providing wheelchairs for impoverished disabled persons in developing nations.

Recipients of the wheelchairs pose for a photograph with their relatives and Messrs Jameel Davis and Alex Foster of the FFTP Davis revealed that the current wheelchairs, dubbed the ‘second generation wheelchairs’, are designed to fit the specific needs of each recipient.

Currently, the FWM is designing ‘third generation wheelchairs’, and the local organisation is expected to be able to access those.

Persons desirous of having a wheelchair are required to submit a photograph of the intended recipient, along with an application and a reference from a prominent citizen in their respective neighbourhood, to the FFTP Headquarters in Georgetown, or the SFCD at Port

‘Stop feeding the poor on the Council’s parapets’ THE Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is calling on various groups that are involved in the benevolent gesture of feeding the poor on Council’s parapets and reserves to desist from so doing.

“The council wishes to advise organisations and institutions that are involved in these activities that such activities should be done in recognised institutions,” M&CC said in a press statement.

“The council is not only experiencing difficulties with persons encumbering the public thoroughfares with pallets, but persons who are destitute use the pavement and other thoroughfares to dispose of solid and liquid waste, which has resulted in the areas being in an insanitary state,” the statement said.

The Guyana Fire Service and the City Council conducted a joined exercise to sanitise the southern and eastern areas of the Bourda Market. “It was observed during the exercise that the persons who live in the southern area of Bourda Market had beds, bedding and kitchen utensils stored on the pavements, which impeded the free flow of pedestrian traffic. Also, they were reluctant to move to facilitate cleaning of the area.

“The Mayor and City Council is calling on persons who have placed pallets and other structures on pavements to remove them immediately.

The Council will be conducting an exercise to remove pallets and other structures,” City Hall has said.

Mourant.

In a plea, Davis said, “I am appealing to people who know anyone -- a neighbour, relative, a friend -- who is in need of a wheelchair to come in and apply for one, and we will definitely assist.”

In his brief remark, President of the SFCD, Berbice FFTP representative Mr. Alex Foster, also spoke on the initiative and encouraged recipients to take good care of the wheelchairs.

Expressions of gratitude were received from representatives of the Disabled People’s Network, the Special Needs School in Berbice, and the Ministry of Education.

Berbice career criminal remanded on ganja charge

By Jeune Bailey THIRTY-YEAR-OLD Rawle Victor, known as ‘Ralo’, of Sheet Anchor Village, East Canje Berbice, appeared on Friday last before New Amsterdam Magistrate Marissa Mittelholzer to answer a charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.

The unrepresented man pleaded not guilty as charged.

Police Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, prosecuting, said that on June 24 last, at about 20:00hrs, cops on mobile patrol in the Sheet Anchor area noticed the defendant on a bicycle carrying a bulky black bag and acting in a suspicious manner.

Challenged, the suspect dropped the bag, which, when retrieved by the cops and examined in his presence, was found to contain leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be from the cannabis sativa plant. The contents of the bag were subsequently

weighed and tested, revealing 356 grammes of suspected ganja.

However, whilst being detained, Victor escaped, and was only recently arrested.

The magistrate refused Victor bail, and set recall of this case to September 28.

In addition to the current charge, Victor is charged with robbery under arms, allegedly

Rawle Victor, aka ‘Ralo’

committed on supermarket proprietor Mohamed Ali, who was robbed of $2.5M as he was about to make a deposit at the Scotia Bank in New Amsterdam on August 4, 2014.

Victor was subsequently nabbed with $1.3M in his possession.

Incidentally, the M. Ali and Sons Supermarket was robbed by armed bandits within recent weeks Additionally, the defendant faces another robbery charge, detailing that on April 23, 2014, he robbed Raymond Arnold, 60, of 20 St John Street, New Amsterdam, of $1M cash and his car, valued at $2,75M. That incident occurred on April 23, 2014.

Further, Victor was charged with robbery committed on Indernauth Bishram, called ‘Ajay’, of Sun Shine Supermarket and Poultry Supplies of Public Road, Cumberland, East Canje Berbice of $1.3M on April 28, 2014.

Regional Under-19 Super50 …

Hetmyer’s unbeaten 135 destroys Leeward Islands TOP performances within the Guyana Under-19 team helped them ease past Leeward Islands in the third round of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional U-19 Super50 Tournament, yesterday, at Manchester High School Ground, Mandeville, Jamaica.

The defending champions won the toss and gave Leewards a chance to bat first. They were restricted to 217 in 46.2 overs with top scores of 60 and 48 from Jaeel Clarke and Kacey Carty, respectively.

Four other batters got into double figures but only one passed 15 as Akshaya Persaud, Balchan Baldeo and Kassem Khan

claimed three wickets each for Guyana while Keemo Paul accounted for

Shimron Hetmyer the other Leeward scalp.

Chasing 218 for victo-

ry, West Indies Under-19 opener and 2013-2014 U-19 Player-of-the-year Shimron Hetmyer slammed an unbeaten 135 from 114 balls which included 18 boundaries and four sixes.

Te v i n I m l a c h a n d Baldeo were both removed early on for seven while Paul met his demise on eight.

Travis Persaud (27) stuck around the longest to witness Hetmyer’s onslaught but was not there in the end as Guyana reached 220 – 4 in 35.1 overs.

WICB held discussion with Minister Roopnarine PRESIDENTof West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Whycliff ‘Dave’ Cameron, Vice-President Emmanuel Nanthan, and WICB Director Anand Sanasie held discussions with Minister of Education, Dr. Rupert Roopnarine, on Wednesday last to identify measures to improve cricket in Guyana.

The minister was thoroughly briefed on plans for secondary and primary school Cricket Leagues and the integration of secondary schools’ cricketers into the club system.

Officials of the WICB visited Guyana during the tenure of the past minister responsible for Sports but not much was done in terms of cooperation to get school cricket going.

The WICB officials outlined their plans which were well received by the minister who himself played cricket in his younger days.

According to a release, Minister Roopnarine ex-

istration Bill and its shortcomings.

President of the WICB, Mr.

Cameron expressed his disappointment that the past Government’s commitment to amend the Act was not honoured. Minister Roopnarine promised to continue dialogue to ensure that a solution is found so that the business of cricket can take priority and the continued good performance of the national teams are enhanced. In the past, the WICB had expressed its dissatisfaction and concerns about a Bill that sought to enforce its own constitution on the GCB membership among other controversial issues.

Cameron and Nanthan were in Guyana for one of the WICB Town Hall meetings intended to enlighten the general public about the work of the oldest regional institution and to listen to the concerns of regional stakeholders. While in Guyana, they used the opportunity to meet with the authorities that would be able to assist in resolving some of the problems affecting cricket in Guyana.

Tennis Summer Camp gaining momentum

By Stephan Sookram PRIMARY and Secondary school students will have a chance to learn the lawn tennis over the August vacation period. This is a as a result of a programme sponsored by the Ministry of Education’s Allied Arts department.

The programme is being

conducted by National Coach Shelly Daly-Ramdyhan who told Chronicle Sport that that programmes like these help to widen the pool of tennis players.

“This year, for the first time, it caters for primary school students; in the past it was only for the secondary school students. By doing this, they widen the pool for

more kids to be involved in a sport, in this case tennis.”

She indicated that the camp, which features approximately 40 students, has seen a tremendous turnout, especially at the secondary school level. At the primary level, the National Coach indicated that there are about 15 students who are eager to learn the sport. Ramdyhan also men-

tioned that the response has been phenomenal even through the inclement weather.

“We are trying to utilise the National Racquet centre’s library so that we can go indoors (when it rains). There are books available on each sport and tennis is one of them, so we will try to use that in the absence of not playing outside to have some indoor sessions with the kids but

the weather doesn’t affect the kids, they come anyway.”

The Guyana Lawn Tennis Association (GLTA) coach says that the twoweek camp which commenced Monday last will conclude on Friday. She is also optimistic that in the coming months, the sport’s youth core will be strengthened.

of Tariq Newman (2) to leave the visitors at 38-5.

However, Shaquon Pemberton and Miller added 23-run for the sixth but the visitors’ struggle continued thereafter.

Pemberton was taken at deep mid-wicket off spinner Anderson for ten (10), while Asher Muarry Cornelius (2) and Kerry Gokarran (0) were both removed by medium pacer Bookie in the 42nd over.

Torrington returned for his second spell and immediately removed Miller while Bookie took the last with Bogenarine Sharma for eight (8).

The Guyanese reached 28 without loss at the interval with Robin Williams on 16 and Junior Sinclair on nine (9).

Soon after they were reduced to 50-3, losing Williams (19) Sinclair (10) and Boodie (4) in quick succession.

Singh shared an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 44 runs with Anderson, who finished unbeaten on 15.

Guyana with 6.6 points play Barbados on Monday at the Everest Cricket Club ground.

Kamran Akmal’s 49 from 41 balls earned him the man-of-thematch award in Red Steel’s 109-run chase for victory, eliminating last year’s finalist. He was supported by Darren Bravo (22) who hit two fours and two sixes to take their side out of some trouble early on.

Red Steel were 7 – 1 when Cameron Delport (3) was dismissed but Akmal kept the board ticking over as Jacques Kallis (8)

KAMRAN AKMAL

went with the score on 48. Akmal and Bravo then shifted the balance of the match completely.

The 30-run partnership between the pair ended when Bravo fell, then seven runs later the Pakistani was back in the dug-out. Jason Mohammed (17) and the skipper Dwayne Bravo (8) were the two batsmen who stuck around to complete the home win.

Earlier, Lendl Simmons (64) with another commendable performance led Warriors to 108 – 9 in their 20 overs. The only other batsman to get into double figures was Chris Barnwell (12); ten batsmen only managed to accumulate 25 runs.

The under-13 champion Shomari Wiltshire easily disposed of the host nation’s Darien Benn by 3-0 and Guyanese cap-

tain Nyron Joseph did not disappoint as he quickly wrapped up his match by the same margin.

At the under-15 level, Barbadian Khamal Cumberbatch beat Daniel Islam by three games to love and Reginald Brewster turned the tables on Alec Melville to win by

three games to one at the under -17 division.

Gayle to take three months leave from cricket for back surgery CRICKET super star Chris Gayle has announced that he will be out of action for about three months to undergo corrective surgery to tackle a lingering back problem.

The flamboyant West Indies opener says he is scheduled to play a Charity game August 2nd but explains that he will be out of action for “two to three months” to accommodate the operation.

“I have a charity game on the 2nd, but after that I will be out of cricket for two to three months,” said Gayle after Jamaica Tallawah’s 27-run loss to Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel in the Caribbean Premier League.

Gayle’s back problem plagued him during the World Cup in which he missed the group game against UAE due to injury, and took an injection to play in the quarter-final against New

Zealand.

If Gayle is sidelined until December as expected, West Indies will be without

“So I need some time for recovery.

Maybe December, before I actually get back in cricket as well,” he said.

“You have got to wish me luck with that surgery and then I will be back strong; who knows, we will see what happens.”

Gayle, though, has remained prolific for his clubs in T20 cricket; he racked up 491 runs from 14 IPL games, 328 runs from three Natwest T20 matches, and is currently the leading run-getter in the CPL, with 430 runs at an average of 61.42.

Gayle is also contracted to the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League, which begins on December 18.

At the under-15 level, Makeda Harding got her chance to plot revenge against Champion Meagan Best but the latter easily won 3-0. Gabrielle Fraser ended the ladies aspect on a high as she beat Jada Smith-Padmore 3-0 at the under-15 level.

Speaking on the result, President of the Guyana Squash Association David

Fernandes indicated that the side has once again done the Golden Arrow Head proud.

“The way that the junior team gives 110 % is really special to see. This team is truly a group of great young ambassadors of our country. The junior team has made us proud to represent Guyana once again. We would like to thank Coach (Carl) Ince as well as our Fitness coach Yisrael, Our sponsors and all the parents and well-wishers for their support.” (Stephan Sookram)
