Final Day of Rodney CoI…

Rodney Family urges two-week CoI extension … Testimonies incomplete for 3 witnesses

By Derwayne Wills AFTER 66 days, 29 witnesses, and a four-month recess due to the May 11 elections, the Commission of Inquiry into the death of Working People’s Alliance (WPA) Leader, Dr Walter Rodney, is nearing an end.

But the surviving immediate-family of Dr Rodney is calling for an extension of the Commission by two weeks for hearings, tipping their hand that the Commission might have come to a premature end.

Speaking on behalf of the Rodney family at yesterday’s CoI hearing at the Supreme Court was Attorney-at-Law Andrew Pilgrim. The Rodney family’s counsel is convinced that the decision by the David Granger Administration to bring the CoI to an end will place them in the range for much criticism.

Particularly, he noted, criticisms of a nature that “they (the David Granger Administration) intended to politicise these proceedings.”

The attorney is calling for the Commission to engage the Government for a two-week extension of the hearings. The Rodney family, through their counsel, is convinced that the most important witnesses are yet to testify before the tribunal, which commenced work in 2014 at the request of then President Donald Ramotar.

Mr Ramotar demitted office after the May 11 polls which saw the incumbent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) defeated at the polls by the A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition.

Since coming to office, the coalition Government has uncovered spending for the CoI to some $300M. Soon after coming to office, the coalition Government decided to grant two days of hearings for the CoI, which would facilitate submissions of the Counsels representing the Rodney Family, former People’s National Congress (PNC) Government, the Guyana Trade Unions Congress (GTUC), and the brother of Dr Walter Rodney, Donald Rodney.

“Commissions of Inquiry are creatures of the Executive,” Chairman of the Commission, Sir Richard Cheltenham told the court yesterday, while explaining that this is not the first time a Commission of Inquiry has been brought to an early end due to a change in Government. Nonetheless, he reassured

the right of the Government to terminate the Commission when it desires.

“What the executive arm cannot do and will never be permitted to do, and I must add that nobody has made an attempt to do, is to tell us as Commissioners what evidence we will find, what evidence we will reject, what weight to attach to the evidence, and what our findings, or fact, or recommendations will be,” the Commissioner continued.

The Rodney family is convinced however that a failure to complete hearings will diminish the thoroughness of the Commission’s report. The family believes that witnesses like Cecil ‘Skip’ Roberts, who was Crime Chief of the Guyana Police Chairman of the Rodney Commission Counsel for the Rodney Family, Force at the time of Rodney’s of Inquiry, Sir Richard Cheltenham Attorney-at-Law, Andrew Pilgrim death in 1980; Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, now Education mission so far,” Attorney-at-law Pilgrim continued.

Minister, and a close friend The Rodney family counsel is concerned that letters have of Dr Rodney; and Major General Norman McLean, who served previously as Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defense been sent to witnesses requesting their presence at the CoI on what would have been a Wednesday hearing.

Force (GDF) should testify.

“Those notices which seek to allow these persons their “I think we are all very much aware that the family of Dr Walter Rodney came to this hearing seeking some form of right to respond are sent against a background that the notice closure, and seeking to have a hearing that can be looked upon is inadequate. It is almost as if we are saying to them, we want as being fair, and thorough, and done in the interest of justice,” you to have the opportunity to be heard, but we are not giving the Rodney family’s lawyer told the court as he conceded that you the opportunity,” Pilgrim told the court.

The Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry will hear the Commission is a “creature” of the Government.

“It is our belief that with two weeks of public hearings, final submissions today, and the Commissioners will dewith the appropriate notices to the relevant witnesses, this liberate over the next three days on the direction of the Commission could be said to have done a complete and thor- report in terms of findings, as well as recommendations ough job in light of all that has been achieved by this Com- from the body.

Basil Williams replaced on Rodney Commission WITH the recent appointment of Attorney-at-Law Basil Williams to Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Williams has resigned as counsel representing the former People’s National Congress (PNC) Government at the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, making

way for Attorney-at-Law Selwyn Pieters to assume the post.

But Pieters’ appointment had caused some confusion in the early hours of yesterday’s Commission of Inquiry. Pieters formerly represented the Guyana Trade Union Congress (GTUC) at the Commission along with co-counsel, Attorney-at-Law, Brian Clarke.

Since Pieters’ resignation as Counsel of the GTUC, Clarke will serve as the sole counsel for the GTUC, while Pieters will serve as the sole counsel for the former PNC Government.

In the Commission of Inquiry, Williams had represented the interest of the former PNC Government and was vocal on what he perceived to be a “witch-hunt” of the entity he represented during that time. As Attorney General, Williams can no longer serve on the Commission as counsel for the former PNC Government, Pieters’ appointment came as a surprise to some considering Attorney-at-Law and PNC member, James Bond had been tipped for the position.

When contacted some time ago, Bond, who served as a member of the 10th Parliament (2011-2015), denied any communication from his party that he would represent their interest at the CoI. Bond had been present at a number of sittings of the Commission during its life.

Shawn Hinds now in police custody

… ‘We want to verify his identity’ Police SHAWN HINDS, the man wanted by police for questioning in relation to a ‘ serious offence’, turned himself into the police at the Criminal Investigations Department, Eve Leary at around 12:45 hrs yesterday. Attorney at law Nigel Hughes accompanied him.

Hinds said that he decided to turn himself in to the police, fearing that the police would have issued a wanted bulletin for him for something he did not do. Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told this publication that Hinds is not wanted for the murder of political activist Courtney Crum Ewing. But, it seems now that the self-confessed Death Squad member could be grilled on his recent revelations with HGP Nightly News anchorman, Travis Chase.

Hinds though told Chase that he is not prepared to do that. ‘ I cannot answer to whatever was done back then, when policemen who worked with me still in the force…dat’s stupidness budday’. However police seem particularly interested in the 2006 assassination of journalist Ronald Waddell and his (Hinds) allegations that the police sold guns to the Phantom and Death squads.

However it is no secret now that Hinds is being grilled on the recent allegation made by Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo. The Prime Minister said on Saturday that the Death Squad member was seen outside his private residence conducting surveillance. The Prime Minister believes that it was probably for a possible hit.

“We have information that some days ago Shawn Hinds had been parked in a car in the vicinity of my residence and neighbours were alerted, the police were summoned and the vehicle drove away very fast,” the PM said.

Meanwhile, Hinds said in a very recent interview with Nightly News that at no time was he near the Prime Minister’s house and that he sees the allegation by the Prime Minister as a ‘Red herring’. ‘I know Mr. Moses from way back in the PPP and I have never spoken to him much less to do what he said was done…that’s not me, I would never do that’.

Chase asked Hinds if he knows of anyone who would want to harm the Prime Minister. ‘ I don’t know of any such thing, and even if there is, I won’t be part of it, never would I do that

to my Prime Minister or hear of anything of that sort and allow it to go through,’ said Hinds.

In the meantime, the Death Squad member said that he knows the police may want to indulge in torture of a detainee. During the interview with HGP Nightly News, Hinds took off his shirt and displayed his body, showing that there were no marks of violence about his body, and should the police try to torture him, ‘ it won’t be a walk in the park’.

Meanwhile, late last evening, this publication was told that the police kept Hinds in custody because they want to ‘verify his identity’ and other matters that investigators did not disclose to his attorney or members of the press.

While the police seemingly want to get their hands on the interviews conducted by Nightly News Travis Chase, they have asked Chase to report to the Criminal Investigations Department for ‘talks’. When contacted for a comment, Chase said that he is not prepared to go into the police for talks about releasing the tapes as it is the sole property of HGP TV channel 16 cable 67.

Gov’t, stakeholders to solve rice industry issues

By Clifford Stanley MINISTER of Agriculture, Mr Noel Holder said yesterday that his Ministry will work with all stakeholders in the rice industry to ensure that all the existing issues and problems are dealt with in a definitive and binding manner.

He stressed that in his view, feedback on the interventions which are necessary by Government is essential.

He said, “The rice industry is vulnerable to the vagaries and shocks of weather; of external markets; of pests and diseases; but I implore all stakeholders to partner with Government so that we can focus on addressing all the existing problems and make the investments necessary to foster the continuous growth of the industry.”

He made the remarks during an address to rice farmers,

millers and other stakeholders in the sector who participated in a workshop on the rice industry under the theme: “Sustainable development amidst challenges.”

During his address, he announced too that Mr Claude Housty, former manager of the Guyana Rice Export Board (GREB), had been appointed chairman of a new board of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB).

Minister Holder stressed that the industry has many challenges to address.

These include introduction of new varieties of rice to increase yields, energy efficient management of rice mills and value added production.

He noted that the high cost of production of paddy and rice is a hindrance to Guyana’s competitiveness on the world market, an aspect which will have to be aggressively

addressed.

With respect to the chronic late payments to farmers by millers, he said that there is a growing possibility of the establishment of a revolving fund which will benefit both the farmers and millers.

He stressed that marketing will be a key element in sustaining the development of rice.

“Government will continue to place emphasis on the industry and make the relevant interventions.”

He also urged millers and exporters to partner with the Government to ensure that there is a continuous focus on finding and sustaining markets.

He said: “Together we can achieve it and indeed it’s a long road ahead; but there are already many good things happening that will propel us along.”

Nine killed in day-long Indian gun battle near Pakistani border (Reuters) INDIAN police overcame a group of gunmen dressed in military fatigues on Monday after a 12-hour battle that ended in a small-town police station near the border with Pakistan, and at least nine people were killed.

Police in the frontier state of Punjab killed three unidentified assailants who had pulled up at the police complex in a stolen car, automatic weapons blazing, at about 5 a.m. (2330 GMT Sunday).

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his top ministers have not made detailed statements on the attack, which came weeks after he met Pakistan’s premier Nawaz Sharif in an attempt to revive stalled relations

between the nuclear-armed rivals.

Pakistan issued a statement condemning the assault and extending condolences to the government and people of India, pushing back against suggestions by some Indian security sources that the assailants had crossed from Pakistani territory.

In the first such attack in Indian Punjab in more than a decade, the gunmen shot dead a barber and tried to hijack a bus before rushing the police station, witnesses said.

Shoe shop owner Amit Sharma, 43, was woken by the sound of gunfire at dawn.

“I thought someone was setting off firecrackers,” Sharma told Reuters. Instead, he saw three men with as-

Indian security personnel celebrate on the roof of a police station after a gunfight in Dinanagar town, in Gurdaspur district of Punjab, India, July 27, 2015 (Reuters/Mukesh Gupta)

sault rifles “spraying bullets everywhere.”

Throughout the day, regular bouts of small arms fire echoed across the town of Dinanagar and the surrounding paddy fields, some 15 km (10 miles) from the

international border, Reuters witnesses said.

“VERY SERIOUS TERRORIST ATTACK” Regional police chief Sumedh Singh Saini told reporters at the scene it was

“too early to say” where the gunmen had come from.

They were equipped with automatic weapons, ammunition, and grenades. Two GPS satellite location devices found on the men would be examined for clues, he said.

Three policemen and three civilians were also killed, according to the home ministry.

Police sources said the attackers entered from Pakistan two days ago a short distance to the north in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, where separatist guerrillas are seeking independence from India.

India’s National Security Adviser, Ajit Doval, called it “a very serious terrorist attack,” according to the Times

of India.

Jitendra Singh, a junior minister in Modi’s office, said he did not rule out Pakistan’s involvement.

“There have also been earlier reports of Pakistan infiltration and cross-border mischief in this area,” said Singh, whose constituency in the Jammu Region borders the Gurdaspur district of Punjab where the shootout took place.

Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Salahuddin, who is based in Pakistan, denied his men were involved.

“They are not Kashmiris ... According to my information definitely not...

They could be home-grown militants,” he told Reuters by telephone.

U.S. softens view of Malaysia, Cuba in human trafficking report (Reuters) THE United States took Malaysia off its list of worst offenders in human trafficking on Monday, removing a potential barrier to its joining a signature trade pact despite opposition from human rights groups and nearly 180 U.S. lawmakers.

The U.S. State Depart-

ment’s annual Trafficking in Persons report also upgraded Cuba from its lowest rank for the first time since it was included in the annual report in 2003.

South Sudan, Burundi, Belize, Belarus and Comoros were downgraded to the lowest rank, Tier 3, where Thailand remained for a second year, alongside

countries with some of the world’s worst trafficking records, including Iran, North Korea and Zimbabwe.

Egypt was downgraded, to the so-called “Tier 2 Watch List” status, while Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan were upgraded to “Tier 2 Watch List.”

Malaysia’s expected upgrade to the “Tier 2 Watch List” from Tier 3 removes a potential barrier to President Barack Obama’s signature 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement, or TPP. Congress approved legislation in June giving

Obama expanded trade negotiating powers, but prohibiting deals with Tier 3 countries such as Malaysia.

After a July 8 Reuters report on plans to upgrade Malaysia, 160 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 18 U.S. senators wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry urging him to keep Malaysia on Tier 3.

They said there was no justification for an upgrade and questioned whether the plan was motivated by a desire to keep the country in the TPP. U.S. Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy and Hu-

man Rights Sarah Sewall rejected the notion that any political considerations had influenced Malaysia’s ranking.

“No, no, no,” she told a news briefing when asked whether the upgrade was connected to a desire to maintain Malaysia’s TPP eligibility. She said the decision was based on standards for how well it was dealing with the trafficking problem.

Sewall said Malaysia had made efforts to reform its victim-protection regime and its legal framework, and had increased the number of investigations and prosecu-

04 09 07

tions compared to 2013.

Even so, she said: “We remain concerned that low numbers of trafficking convictions in Malaysia is disproportionate to the scale of Malaysia’s human trafficking problem.”

Sewall said Cuba, with which the United States reestablished diplomatic relations on July 1 after more than 50 years of Cold War estrangement, was upgraded due to progress in addressing sex trafficking, although Washington remained concerned about its failure to battle forced labor.

Mexico missing students: Jack to file for

Search uncovers judicial review – extradition case adjourned to August 28 60 mass graves

(BBC News) SIXTY mass graves have been uncovered in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero during a search for 43 student teachers abducted last September, official documents have revealed.

The attorney general’s office says the remains of 129 bodies have been recovered from the graves.

None of the remains have been linked to the students who vanished in Iguala.

The information was released after a freedom of information request by the Associated Press.

The majority of the bodies are male, but the remains of some 20 women were also found.

The unmarked graves were discovered during the huge investigation into the disappearance of the 43 students.

The number of mass graves found from October to May could be higher because the information given

Mass graves began appearing soon after the search for the students began

to AP only covers instances in which specialists became involved.

The students, from a teachers’ college in Guerrero, had travelled to Iguala and, as part of a protest, commandeered a number of buses.

The government says the 43 were intercepted by police and handed to members of a drugs gang who killed them and incinerated their bodies.

Gang members confessed

to killing the students and burning their bodies after they were mistakenly told they belonged to a rival gang.

The badly burnt remains of one student have been found at a rubbish dump, but many families of the remaining 42 refuse to believe the students are dead.

Correspondents say the case has highlighted the huge number of people who have gone missing in Mexican states where drug violence is widespread.

Kick’em Jenny goes quiet (Trinidad Express) NO ACTIVITY has been recorded at the Kick’em Jenny submarine volcano since Saturday and as a result the alert level has been lowered, the Seismic Research Centre (SRC) at the University of the West Indies (UWI) said yesterday.

On Thursday a “strong continuous signal” was observed on instruments monitoring the Kick’em Jenny underwater volcano located eight kilometres north of Grenada.

As a result the UWISRC heightened the alert level to Orange- the second highest alert level, prior to an eruption.

Because the underwater volcano’s activity levels have “reduced significantly” over the past 48 hours however the alert level has now been reduced.

“The Seismic Research Centre (SRC), University of the West Indies has reported that the activity levels at the Kick-‘em-Jenny under water Volcano has reduced significantly during the last 48 hours.

“Since 6 p.m., on Sat-

urday July 25th, no activity was recorded,” the UWISRC’s website stated yesterday.

The UWI-SRC said a “fly over” of the underwater volcano was conducted on Saturday.

“On Saturday, July 25th at around 5:50 p.m., a team including a Volcanologist from the SRC, Grenada’s Acting National Disaster Coordinator, and a camera person, participated in a fly over of the Kick-‘em-Jenny area by helicopter.

“The volcanologist, Dr. Frederic Dondin, who has conducted extensive research on Kick-‘em-Jenny, concluded, after his observations, that there was absolutely nothing unusual in the area,” the SRC stated.

As a result the alert levels were lowered,” the UWISRC stated.

“Based on the above findings, and given the fact that the activity levels at Kick-‘em- Jenny has diminished, the Government of Grenada, based on the advice of the SRC has lowered the alert level to Yellow with immediate effect.

“The YELLOW alert

level means that vessels should observe a 1.5 km exclusion zone. However, as a precautionary measure, the marine community is advised to continue observing the 5 km exclusion zone,” the UWI-SRC stated.

The UWI-SRC had heightened the alert level on Thursday.

“On Thursday, July 23rd from 1:25 am to 3:00 am local time, a strong continuous signal was observed on instruments monitoring the Kick ‘em Jenny submarine volcano. Signs of elevated seismicity (earthquakes) began on 11th July and continue to present.

“For the period since the 11th July a total of more than 200 micro and small earthquakes, of varying magnitudes, have been recorded, with the largest, prior to the strong signal, less than magnitude 3.0.

“There have also been observations from divers of degassing occurring off the west coast of Grenada in the Moliniere Sculpture Park area,” the SRC stated.

The UWI-SRC is said to be closely monitoring the situation.

(Trinidad Express) THE extradition case involving Jack Warner has been adjourned to August 28th.

When the matter came up for hearing before Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayers Caesar in the Port of Spain Magistrates 8th court on Monday, the State and defence requested more time to examine the 166 page indictment against Warner and other top FIFA officials. . Speaking to the media following the matter, Warner said he and his attorneys will be filing for judicial review. He pointed out that given the fact that the matter has been prosecuted in the public domain it will affect his chances of having a fair trial.

Six days ago, Attorney General Garvin Nicholas announced that the United States had made a formal request for the extradition of Warner, supplying documentation to support its case.

Warner, a former FIFA vice-president and leader of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP), has been in-

dicted in the United States on multiple counts of fraud, racketeering, money laundering and corruption.

Warner is being represented by attorneys, including Fyard Hosein SC, Nyree Alphonso, Rishi Dass and Anil Maharaj, and has re-

tained British QC, Edward Fitzgerald, to lead his defence.

The State’s legal team includes Pamela Elder, SC, attorneys Jagdeo Singh and Gerald Ramdeen, along with Alan Newman, QC, and James Lewis.

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

Diversity and unity in the governing coalition EVERYONE would agree that Government is a complex process. It has to be.

After all, one is dealing with an institution of institutions tasked with the job of managing the affairs of an entire country.

In the case of Guyana, ours is an ethnically charged plural society with a history of flare-ups, which have sometimes threatened to blow the country away.

While we have always managed to find a way to survive, the after-effects have multiplied.

It is in this environment that a Guyanese Govern-

ment has the difficult job of distributing common resources, promoting equality and ensuring the welfare of all. But in order to do so, Government itself has to enjoy some degree of legitimacy. In other words, a considerable majority of citizens has to believe the Government has the right to govern. This is where Governments in Guyana have had their work cut out—how does a one-party Government in our ethnically polarised society achieve the legitimacy needed for effective management of our political economy?

Our current Government is a peculiar formulation. It is a coalition, but it’s not one in the classical mould. First, it includes one of our large mass-based parties that is grounded in one of our two contending enclaves. Such parties over time develop a proprietorship instinct -- the territory belongs or should belong to them and any threat to that hold is viewed negatively. Second, it includes the newest major political party which, in two successive elections, did better than other third-parties that preceded it. Such parties tend to develop an

inflated sense of their influence. Such a sense of self is needed to sustain self-belief and relevance.

Third, it includes an old third-party whose record of struggle against the status quo over time and intellectual capital have combined to earn it a significant place in the political architecture of the country. Finally, there is an informal force in the form of the Ex-Soldiers which developed as an ally of the big party, but whose loyalties are to the leader, a former soldier. There are other individuals in the coalition who, because they do

not represent functioning political parties, are not able to exercise institutional leverage as those listed above. However, they are members of the Government, with one holding a senior position.

The Coalition, therefore, is a group of parties and individuals with varying backgrounds and ideological perspectives. They were motivated first and foremost by the need to rid the country of a Government which had completely lost its way.

But that is not enough to effectively manage the ship of

Government and State. The Coalition must now function as a cohesive unit even as its various parts maintain their independence.

But given the complex nature and content of the Government, it is to be expected that it would take a longer than normal to begin to function. There were some early problems of communication which they seem to have worked out. Now is the time to muster the will to deliver a Government that would rise above fragmentation and party agenda.

AG replies to erroneous Guyana Times article The following letter was sent to the Guyana Times newspaper by Attorney General Basil Williams: THE Guyana Times front page headline and photograph dated July 25, 2015, which screamed, “Law students AG clash over “uncertain’ Hugh Wooding agreement”, with the accompanying photograph captioned, “A law student making a point during Friday’s forum with Attorney General Basil Williams at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown” is erroneous. Firstly your reporter failed to employ the first basic tenet of newswriting that is, checking the facts.

Had your reporter followed this basic journalist tenet, the facts would reveal that the lady in photograph is not a “law student” but an Attorney-at-Law from the Attorney General Chambers and the question she raised was totally unrelated to the Hugh Wooding Agreement but was focused on the accreditation of the new law programmes be-

ing launched by the University of Guyana (UG). A fact check would have also revealed the Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs Basil Williams experiential involvement in resolving the Hugh Wooding Law students' issue was inherited from the PPP/C Government.

On assumption to the AG’s office, Minister Williams did not find a file that spoke to an updated position on the issue of the automatic entry of the 25 law students to the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS) in Trinidad & Tobago. The Minister had to write to the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for an update, in response the Council noted that there was an agreement in 2013 to automatically take the 25 law students which ended in 2014. In addition the CLE pointed to the ongoing negotiation in relation to the collaborative agreement among University of the West

Indies (UWI), UG and the CLE, and suggested that a new proposal by the University of Guyana was stalling any consensus.

Within a month, in the AG Chambers, Minister Williams met with the current batch of HWLS students and heard firsthand the issues affecting them in the pursuance of their Legal Education Certificate (LEC) at the Hugh Wooding School; held meetings with the Guyana Bar Association; Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Jacob Opadeyi; Head of the Department of Law, Sheldon McDonald; President of the Bar Association, Christopher Ram; past president of the Bar Association, Ronald Birch-Smith; a member of the Council of Legal Education; and Vincent Alexander, Technical Advisor to the senior Minister of Education and former UG Registrar.

Following those meetings, the

AG took the decision to contact the Guyanese delegation at the CARICOM Heads of Government Conference in Barbados to seek an amendment to the agenda to include the issue of the automatic entry of the law students to the HWLS for 2015. Williams further requested that Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge seek an agreement with the CARICOM Heads to continue the interim arrangements made at their Intercessional Meeting in 2013. The interim arrangement was to allow the automatic entry of the top 25 UG law graduates to the HWLS for 2014, pending the conclusion of another Collaborative Agreement between UG, UWI and the CLE. Based on Williams’ intervention, CARICOM Heads at the Conference took a unanimous decision to call on the HWLS to make the required provisions for the automatic entry of the top 25 law students from UG for the aca-

demic year 2015/2016.

Editor, it is significant that after 23 years of the PPP/C Government’s failure to find a permanent solution to the Guyanese law students pursuing their Legal Education Certificate (LEC) at the Hugh Wooding School, the Attorney General has not only managed to gain an immediate short term solution, but recognises the need for a permanent solution to this sore problem. Hence the Minister is in the process of consulting with all the relevant stakeholders in pursuit of a permanent resolution, that of exploring options for the establishment of Guyana’s own law school.

Editor, I do hope that you give this letter equal prominence as you have your erroneous front page report.

HINDS'SIGHT Avenues for solutions to the African Guyanese decline

Dr. David Hinds IN my last column, I dealt with what I think the broad problems are in the African Guyanese community. Today I want to advance some possible avenues for solutions.

Government economic initiatives aimed at creating a more democratic Guyanese economy based on equality of opportunity is essential. Government should invest in a Village Renewal Ini-

tiative aimed at creating economic opportunities in the villages.

There is need for a big economic venture in the African Guyanese community to produce jobs that pay a living wage and encourage small and medium businesses. Dr. Jagan, in 1988, called for Affirmative Action for African Guyanese.

Perhaps the Government should revisit that. In addition, Public Service workers should be paid a living wage. They are mostly African Guyanese. If they are paid better, it

would lift the collective quality of life among the group. There would be more to spend on education and health care, for example.

There is need to struggle for a more democratic form of Government in which all ethnic groups are represented. This is pivotal.

Government plays the biggest role in the distribution of resources. The corporate Private sector is small and ethnic based. And Governments by nature look after their supporters’ interest first. In ethnically divided societies like Guyana, this takes on an ethnic dynamic. One party-One race Government has not proven to be effective in fair distribution of resources. Just look at the recent budget, for example, and see where the bulk of big Government subsidies go. A representative Government in which African Guyanese are represented would help to distribute resources more fairly.

Finally, what can African Guyanese do for themselves? Government initiatives take time, but communities can begin to address some problems in real time. Self-Activity is what Walter Rodney called it. The first thing I recommend is a collective acknowledgement of the problems.

So there is need for conversations and discussions in the commu-

nities, in the towns, and in the villages. If we face the problems as communities by talking about them together, we develop a sense of community again and a sense of common ownership of the solution.

Second, communities should create organisations aimed at searching for solutions. Where people are organised in organisations, they develop a consciousness of themselves as agents of change. The experience of working together and doing things and seeing small changes together transforms the individual and the community. So I encourage people to form organisations Third, I think Education should be singled out for immediate action. I recommend a literacy project aimed at dealing with the functional illiteracy in the community. This is a problem that can be solved by using what we have. Those who can read and write should help to teach those who cannot. This can be done in families, in churches, or in community classes, or in one-on-one encounters.

Communities can also help with homework by setting up Homework Centres where kids can go for help with getting homework done. Often homework assumes

the kids have access to the internet when most of them do not. If we can have these centres where the kids can have access to computers and books, and where they can be supervised, we would be helping to remedy the situation in some way. We can also have classes to help our students develop better study habits, better appreciation for educational excellence, and a broader love of knowledge. These are all things that can be done using resources in our communities Fourth, I think African Guyanese can help to lift ourselves economically by returning to the culture of Cooperatives where we raise resources from within our own communities. Some of us have been pushing the idea of raising funds for small micro loans to begin or expand small businesses.

The key here is to raise your own resources and to start small; don’t wait on funding agencies.

Look around communities and see the immediate needs of the community and start a small business to satisfy those needs.

Fifth, African Guyanese communities need markets. There is need to restart markets. These are centres of commerce which ensure that money is circulated in the communities and wealth is accumulated in the communities.

Experts seek answers to increasing rates of HPV-related oral cancer Washington, D.C. (PAHO/ WHO) — RATES of oral cancer caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) have more than tripled in the United States in the past two decades, even as other types of oral cancer have been declining in the United States and worldwide.

Why HPV-related oral cancers are on the rise, whether they are increasing in other countries, and what can be done about it are the focus of an international consultation being held this week at the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO).

The consultation brings together experts from the U.S. National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the International Association for Dental Research (IADR), the American Dental

Association (ADA), and others to examine what is known about the epidemiology and biology of HPV-related oral cancer, its risk factors, prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

The consultation is expected to conclude with a series of recommendations for new research and public health policies to address the problem in the Americas.

“Oral cancer associated with HPV is an important emerging health problem,” said Dr. Saskia Estupinan-Day, head of PAHO/ WHO’s Oral Health Program.

“We need more research on the problem, but we also need to develop and implement public health policies to help stem the rise of this disease.”

The incidence of HPV-associated oral cancers has risen 225% in the United States during the past two decades, according to data published in the Journal of the American Dental

Association. Rates of other oral cancers—usually related to tobacco and alcohol use—have been declining. Worldwide, there were an estimated 443,000 new cases of oral cancer of all types and 241,000 deaths in 2012, the most recent year for which global data are available.

Data are lacking on HPV-related oral cancer in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. There are also significant gaps in scientific knowledge about HPV infections, their persistence, and associated oral cancers in the general population and in HIV-infected individuals. Evidence is also lacking on the efficacy of HPV vaccines to prevent HPV-associated oral cancer, which could prove to be an important tool for prevention.

HPV is better known as the cause of cervical cancer in women but also causes other anogenital cancers, head and

neck cancers, and genital warts in both men and women. The virus spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact, primarily through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Younger people, males, and people with more sexual partners are at higher risk.

In parallel to the surge of HPV-associated oral cancers in the general U.S. population over the past 20 years, cases of both oral and tonsil cancer have at least doubled among individuals with HIV/AIDS, who are at elevated risk due to their weakened immune systems. If current trends continue, the annual number of HPV-associated oral cancers in U.S. men is expected to exceed cervical cancer cases in U.S. women by the year 2020.

“The increase in HPV-associated oral cancer globally is a growing public health problem in the general population and is exacerbated in individuals in-

fected with HIV,” said Dr. Isaac Rodriguez-Chavez, Director of the AIDS and Immunosuppression Program at NIDCR, NIH. “This international consultation will help us take stock of what we know, define what we still need to know, and begin to harmonise global efforts following multipronged approaches to address this emerging problem.”

One promising approach to prevention of HPV-related oral cancers is immunisation. Currently, two vaccines are known to protect against HPV infections that have been linked with cervical cancer. However the vaccines’ effectiveness in preventing oral cancer has not been determined. To date, 23 countries and territories of the Americas have introduced the HPV vaccine, potentially covering 85% of adolescent girls throughout the Region.

Millers get $2.3B from Gov’t for rice and paddy supplied to Venezuela

- millers can now pay the farmers, says GRDB manager GOVERNMENT yesterday released the $2.3 billion outstanding to millers for rice and paddy supplied to Venezuela for the spring crop 2015.

“Millers have uplifted their cheques. This means that the Government has cleared its debts for the spring crop. It means that millers can now pay the farmers,” Manager at the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) Madanlall Ramraj said.

Ramraj said that the spring crop had been valued at $19 billion. And of this amount $15.5 billion has been paid since the harvesting of that crop.

The $2.3 billion handed out yesterday meant that an amount of approximately $1.2 billion was outstanding for the spring crop but this amount was not the responsibility of the GRDB. “Millers would have to pay this amount by selling to

other markets.”

He made the disclosure following queries by General Secretary of the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA) Dharamkumar Seeraj who had expressed concerns over the adverse effects these delayed payments for the spring crop 2015 were having on rice farmers.

Professor Thomas calls for re-establishment of Agriculture Bank

By Tajeram Mohabir PROFESSOR Clive Thomas is calling for the re-establishment of an Agriculture Development Bank to aid the development of the rice industry.

Speaking at a National Rice Industry Support Conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre yesterday, Thomas, an eminent economist, reasoned that a bank would be needed to adequately finance development of the industry since the private sector alone does not have the capacity.

Guyana at one time had a bank that supported agriculture development. GAIBANK, a development institution, used to give short and long-term loans to the agricultural and other sectors.

It was closed by the former Administration.

The former Administration had claimed, among other things, that the local commercial banks would handle the agriculture credit portfolio of GAIBANK. The bank aside, Profes-

sor Thomas also noted that sound management of the industry can only be achieved through good governance, where members of boards are appointed through a fair and transparent process.

He said integral in the process of sound management is placing greater focus on risk management, pointing out that these are keys issues that must be addressed for the rice industry to be vibrant and more competitive.

Rice farmers for years have been complaining of late payment by millers for their paddy sold.

“Some millers do not pay their paddy farmers on time and a result of that farmers cannot prepare for the next crop. We need to examine all of these problems. A revolving fund has been established but that fund has proven to be inadequate. Last year, the fund was about $5 billion but paddy worth more than $42 billion has been produced,” President David Granger, who also addressed the gathering of farmers, millers and other stakeholders, said.

Professor Clive Thomas addressing the rice conference yesterday He related that some persons have come forward with recommendations on the way forward, noting that an idea has been suggested that a reintroduction of an agriculture bank will effectively handle the problem.

Others have called for a stabilisation fund, but he said the Administration wants to look at all the options and see what is most practicable in a

Guyana circumstance.

An earlier call Former Agriculture Minister, Dr Leslie Ramsammy, has also called for the re-establishment of an Agriculture Development Bank, contending that it would be a step toward alleviating some of the financial issues in the sector.

He made his position known in July last year at the launch of the Ministry of Ag-

Rohee declares no relationship exists between Shawn Hinds and PPP/C as an entity -Hinds never provided security to PPP/C

By Rebecca Ganesh MR Clement Rohee, General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), has made it clear that no relationship exists between that party and self-confessed Death Squad member Shawn Hinds.

During his weekly press conference at Freedom House, Rohee was repeatedly asked about that party’s affiliation with Shawn Hinds, and Rohee’s firm and unequivocal answer to media operatives was “there is no relationship between Shawn Hinds and the People's Progressive Party/Civic."

He said: “As far as I am aware, as General Secretary of this party, from the time I assumed the position, I don't know about any security being provided by Shawn Hinds for the PPP.” Rohee was then asked to respond to Hinds’s claim of making a number of visits to Freedom House, and as of recent as last week. His response was “I saw him (Hinds) here (at Freedom House) sitting, waiting to see someone, but I did not ask him

who he was waiting for.”

Hinds has been on the GPF radar for some time, and has been fingered in a number of murders and robberies.

“Are you not then concerned about the security of Freedom House?” Rohee was asked, and he responded thus: “A man is innocent until proven guilty.”

Moreover, he described the party's headquarters as “a public building”.

Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, at a press conference held last week, chided Hinds for approaching the media first with his story, rather than engaging the police on the matter.

Harmon has said that the State is interested in Hinds’s revelations, but would not necessarily provide him with an amnesty.

However, in clarifying that statement, he has since indicated that Hinds would receive protection from the State in exchange for his information, but the former death squad member would have to face the lawful sequences for his unlawful actions.

Over the weekend, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo

riculture 2013-2020 Strategic Plan.

“The strategy we described has advocated for financial arrangements such as an Agriculture Development Bank, I think that is necessary, but that is a policy direction that the Ministry of Agriculture can advocate, but cannot do. We need a revolving fund arrangement. We need crop insurance, but these are easier said than done, because insurance implies premium payments and who will pay the premium… cause when things are going good, nobody wants to hear about a premium,” Dr Ramsammy had said.

President Granger, in his address to the gathering yesterday, was very optimistic about the future of the rice industry.

“We have a vision for rice and the industry and the contribution that it can continue to make in Guyana’s growth,” he said.

But the President noted that quite unfortunately in the increase of paddy production, thousands of persons, particularly young people in rural

areas, are still unemployed or underemployed.

“We have to change this reality by creating industries based on rice production which can add value to rice and employ our young people,” he said.

President Granger stressed that in the near future, through stronger collaboration with the Private Sector, the importance of rice will be further enhanced.

But he said: “We do not wish to usurp the role of the Private Sector, rice production is a private business and we support private enterprise, the Administration does not want to bail out the rice industry.”

He noted that the Government is not inclined to become a banker to exporters and millers, stressing that its role in the scheme of things is to establish a framework to provide a level-playing field so that the industry can prosper.

And this, he said includes ensuring safety, quality, respect for labour laws and assisting in the promotion of market access for producers.

hinted at a possible plot to end his life, and has even reportedly claimed that Hinds had been spotted staking out his home; but Rohee has dismissed the Prime Minister’s claims as “a big joke”.

Rohee had this to say in regard to the Prime Minister’s allegations: “If there is anyone in this country who knows Nagamootoo as best as I do, as best as possible politically and otherwise, I am one of them; so I wouldn't take Nagamootoo' statement (seriously).

“He is good at spinning things, he is good at concocting things, and he has a very wildly imaginative view of things.”

Shawn Hinds has been fingered in an intended hit on Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo. These latest developments were brought to light by Nagamootoo on July 25, during a meeting with reporters, when 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 guaging his activities just about two weeks ago. The event, which reportedly unfolded just after 20:00hrs, forced the PM to take a photograph of the vehicle which was parked just beyond his bridge outside of his Liliendaal, North Sophia home.

“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 heightened police interest in Shawn Hinds -- that he might have decided to seek refuge at Freedom House, or (from) whatever other things he did,” the PM said.

Rapid and unprecedented economic growth expected over next five years - says Minister of Business - as TGI awards outstanding Guyanese distributors

RAPID and unprecedented economic growth is expected over the next five years, as the Government of Guyana wants development to accompany growth, says Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin “We do not want a cowboy economy and therefore will not adapt nor encourage a ‘Wild West’ approach towards doing business in Guyana,” Minister Gaskin declared.

The Minister of Business on Sunday evening was addressing the gathering at the Pegasus Hotel during the TCL Guyana Incorporated (TGI) 2014 Customer Appreciation and Awards Ceremony.

In congratulating TGI for their years of service in Guyana, Minister Gaskin declared that Guyana means business and the Ministry of Business (MOB) will take measures to demonstrate this, while legitimate inves-

Man remanded for possession of cannabis for trafficking THIRTY-year-old Jason Primo pleaded not guilty yesterday before City Magistrate Ann McLennan before whom he appeared to answer a drug trafficking charge detailing that on Friday, July 24, at Agricola, East Bank Demerara, he had in his possession 48 grammes of cannabis-sativa (marijuana) for the purpose of trafficking.

The prosecution’s facts were not revealed to the court, but Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones opposed bail being granted to Primo on ground that no special reason had been advance for its grant.

Primo was accordingly remanded to prison, and the matter was adjourned to August 12 for report.

tors generally shy away from lawless jurisdictions, they cannot afford to chase away a single legitimate investor.

“We understand that the tax revenue required for running and developing this country must be generated by private sector investment, therefore, there must be greater compliance to all business to maximise Government’s revenues, create a more level playing field and develop a more competitive private sector,” he said.

The MOB, he noted, will be actively seeking to promote, encourage and facilitate expanded investment in Guyana’s economy, with a particular focus on creating a better environment for businesses to operate, developing the value added sectors, encouraging successful entrepreneurship and greater competitiveness within the business community.

He signalled to the officials of TGI that the company’s priorities are the hallmark of a serious company that understands the correlation between good relationships and long-term relationships.

The seriousness was also demonstrated when a matter was brought against the State to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), when the court ruled that Guyana acted in violation of the Treaty of Chagaramus by failing to implement the common external tariff on cement imported from outside our Region.

According to the Minister, “as recently reported the matter is still to be settled as he would prefer a better relationship with the State as we move forward…I look forward to better cooperation with business and the investment community.”

He noted also that compliance is an immediate example of an area that is of mutual concern as the case demonstrated, and compliance is a “two-way street” and we live and work in a nation of laws and both businesses and Government must operate in accordance with those laws.

Government must meet its obligations under the various treaties that govern global cooperation and must understand the consequences of failing to make legal provision for those obligations to be fulfilled.

“Respect for the law must be reintroduced and our Government will uphold and respect the laws, as we look forward towards warm and fruitful relationships with the TGI, while we work towards developing this nation,” he said.

Meanwhile both the TGI manager, Mr. Egwin Daniel and TGI’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Jose Seijo, expressed their gratitude towards their customers and also their confidence in the potential of the country.

They also assured the gathering that TGI will remain committed towards doing business here and developing Guyana.

AWARDEES Awarded Sunday evening for the highest volume of cement sold in 2014 were: Kunjbeharry Parbat for the West Coast of Demerara, Toolsie Persaud Limited for Georgetown, Beresford Harry Lumber Yard and General Store for Linden, Builders Hardware Store for the Essequibo Coast and David Persaud Investment Limited for the East Coast of Demerara, while Toolsie Persaud Limited copped the top distributor for the entire Guyana.

At Dartmouth interaction with youths and parents…

Roopnarine calls on parents to get involved in children's education MINISTER of Education Dr Rupert Roopnarine has called on parents of Dartmouth and other surrounding communities on the Essequibo Coast to get involved in their children's education.

The Minister in an address to a large crowd of young people and parents at the Dartmouth Community Centre on Sunday told parents that they have a vital role to play in schools and they must be committed to their children's education.

T h e M i n i s t e r a l s o pointed out that sports in schools should be part of the extra-curricular activities. He told the large gathering that sports is very crucial in schools and he would like to see a sports programme in all schools across the country.

According to the Education Minister, the focus of the APNU+AFC Adminis-

tration is more on the allround round development of children.

He said the Ministry of Education wants to produce Guyanese citizens who at the end of their education can contribute to the development of Guyana.

Parents and young people during the interaction session were told to form themselves in groups of fifteen so as to discuss and come up with ideas to boost the development of education delivery in the Dartmouth/West Bury areas. The groups which numbered about eight had lively discussions on the topic while Minister Roopnarine also interacted with members of each group.

At the end of the group interactions, reports were presented by individual group leaders to the Minister and the audience.

Tuesday July 28, 2015 - 14:30 hrs Wednesday July 29, 2015 - 14:30 hrs Thursday July 30, 2015 - 14:30 hrs

Some of the suggestions and solutions put forward by the various groups were setting up of a community library as a resource centre in the Dartmouth village and the establishment of a science laboratory at the 8th of May Secondary School.

SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMME Calls were also made for the APNU+AFC Government to introduce school feeding programme at the 8th of May primary, secondary and Flora nursery schools.

Calls were also made for remedial classes to be taught at primary schools instead at secondary schools. Suggestions were also made for the same subjects to be taught at all schools and for the $10,000 school vouchers programme to continue but must be given after the needs of parents are accessed. The need to supply all textbooks by Government at schools was also suggested.

One group suggested that there is need for a functional community centre in the village and for more social workers in schools.

The group also called for functioning departments at the 8th of May Secondary School and for a campus of the University of Guyana to be established on the Essequibo Coast.

Trotman meets Region 9 Toshaos during fact-finding mission - need for sustainable development, good governance emphasised

MINISTER of Governance Raphael Trotman, who also shares responsibility for Natural Resources and the Environment, over the weekend, met with several Toshaos and other representatives in Region 9, Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo, where several issues, including good governance and sustainable community development were discussed and brought to the forefront.

According to a press release, the meeting held last Friday morning in Lethem, Region 9, saw the attendance of the Toshaos of St. Ignatius, Moco Moco, Shea, Yurupukari and Maranau, who are also representatives of the Kanuku Mountain Range Development Group (KMRDG). The team travelling with the Minister included the Advisor on Sustainable Development, Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, Clayton Hall; Permanent Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, Justin McKenzie; and Commissioner of the Protected Areas Commission (PAC), Damien Fernandes.

Minister Trotman told the group that the meeting was an opportunity to understand first hand, the work which is being carried out by the group in the region.

ROLE IN MINISTRY OF THE PRESIDENCY He noted that his role in the Ministry of the Presidency and the department of Natural Resources and the Environment was not to disrupt any arrangement or system the villages have put in place, but rather to facilitate and aid the work which is being carried out, provided that it was sustainable and done in good faith.

Minister Trotman said that the Government is willing to work with and support the systems which resemble good governance and sustainability and will seek to put an end to those which did not display those characteristics.

“Where there are good systems in place, we would like to promote and support them. We are not here to shut anything down. We must be able to continue good work where there is good work and to cease bad work where there is bad work and I will rely on your guidance to tell me what things are working and what things are not working... This is a fact finding mission,” he told the group in Lethem last Friday.

During the meeting with the KMRDG, the Minister was given an update on the various projects which had been undertaken by the group while he provided them the opportunity to

James George, Toshao of Moco Moco in discussions with the Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman and Advisor on Sustainable Development, Mr. Clayton Hall at the Moco Moco Hydropower Station in Region 9 on Friday. raise any matters of concern they may have had.

The members of the KMRDG were made up of 21 settlements and communities and were set up as a representative body when the central boundaries and management plans for the protected Kanuku Mountain Range area were discussed and finalised.

However, the members told the Minister that since then, the group has been working on its own projects to promote sustainable development for their communities.

FARINE FACTORY The Toshaos related that they were having some amount of difficulty in setting up a much needed farine, (native

Amerindian dish) factory which has the potential to bolster the communities. In addition, the challenges in combating the effects of climate change were also raised and discussed during the meeting.

Following the meeting, Minister Trotman toured the KMRDG Farm and praised the facility as an important revenue earning initiative for the communities.

Later in the day, the Minister visited the neighbouring Moco Moco Village where the now defunct Moco Moco Hydropower Project was examined. Toshao James George discussed energy generation challenges in the community and expressed his desire to see the hydropower station operational once again.

Infrastructure Minister says staff training tops his list of priorities PUBLIC Infrastructure Minister David Patterson wants that Ministry to epitomize professionalism and bold innovative ideas.

And he intends to achieve that objective with systematic investments in staff education and training, according to sentiments he expressed after interactions with staff from the various departments and agencies that fall under that Ministry.

Those departments and agencies are the Works Services Group, the Guyana Power and Light, the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD), and the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).

“We have young, vibrant people in our midst. It is therefore imperative that career advancement is key to the further development within this Ministry,” Minister Patterson declared.

Instructions have accordingly been given to the various departments’ heads to ensure that all staff members be exposed to both local and international training.

“Gone are those days when only a predominant few benefited from training programmes/courses; that circle has to be widened,” the Minister declared.

The knowledge and skills of the staff, the Minister further stated, are the Ministry’s most important competitive advantage.

“Therefore,” he reasoned, “we must strive to continuously strengthen, upgrade and extend them to younger minds.

“Activities in the field of education and training that develop qualified and motivated employees will remain one of our priority strategic policies also in the future,” he added.

The Minister declared that the perception

of unprofessionalism and poor communication skills in the public domain would be addressed with some urgency.

“For a long time, staff adopted certain behavioural attitudes and patterns, so it will be a challenge to break that. However, I am confident we will make progress to change that viewpoint,” he declared.

Although still familiarising himself with the operational aspects of the departments and agencies under the purview of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Minister Patterson said he is generally satisfied with the knowledge and skills shown by the staff at all levels.

However, he firmly believes that opportunities for training must be available to more staff members.

“The future and progression of the Infrastructure Ministry depend on it,” he declared.

President Granger says rice industry too big to fail … calls for increased competitiveness, more markets and reduction in production and transportation costs

By Tajeram Mohabir THE rice industry is going through a challenge, not a crisis, contends President

David Granger, who affirms that the future of the industry remains “bright” and “rice is too big to fail”.

The President expressed

these sentiments yesterday at the opening of a National Rice Industry Conference themed: “Sustainable Development amid Challenges” at

the Arthur Chung Convention Centre at Liliendall, Greater Georgetown (formerly The Guyana International Convention Centre).

Miss World Guyana Lisa Punch and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo encouraging Guyanese to support local and eat the healthy way Farmers in recent times have protested the current state of the industry which has been affected by a host of problems, including late payment from millers, poor prices for their paddy and insufficient markets for their produce.

Addressing scores of rice farmers and other stakeholders throughout Guyana, President Granger assured that “what is good for rice is good for Guyana.”

CONSULTATION He also noted that the challenges facing the industry can only be overcome through consultation.

“We don’t need confrontation, we don’t need demonstration; what we need are solutions to this aged-old problem. We need rice and we need to ensure that rice production is conducted in an efficient manner,” he said.

The President told the gathering of rice farmers, millers and other stakeholders that his Administration wants to bring an end to their anxiety and apprehensions, and focus their energies towards increasing competitiveness.

Acknowledging that Guyana is a minor rice producer on the world market, he noted that the country has been making strides as it has been moving closer to achieving the 1 million tonne mark.

But the Head of State said that as a main pillar in the agriculture sector, Guyana

has to do more in finding new markets, given that farmers have demonstrated their capacity to improve production.

VOLATILE INT’L MARKET The President underscoring the importance of increasing competitiveness, said although rice has been resilient enough to survive floods, droughts and pests, it will not be able to survive a volatile international market unless changes are made to the current ways of doing things.

Guyana needs to address the challenges of marketing, storage, transportation and

President David Granger addressing the rice conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre yesterday production costs, he said.

“Manufacturers must also explore the prospects of new value-added products, dealers and vendors must increase the competitiveness of our rice, farmers must reduce the cost of production, the cost of transportation and storage, all of these costs are too high and contribute to making Guyana’s rice too expensive and uncompetitive,” Mr Granger told the conference.

These challenges, he said, must be addressed as well as challenges in the fields, offices, wharfs and laboratories.

The President said his Administration will continue to support farmers in accessing higher yielding varieties, but pointed out that if production cost is not reduced, Guyana will be losing its markets.

Guyana exports more than 75 per cent of the rice it produces to more than 40 different countries, but these markets are not guaranteed, Mr Granger noted.

“We will have to continue to find new markets to overcome barriers to market access. We want to practise what we call economic diplomacy -- we have been good at selling rum -- we must also be good at selling rice. This Administration will use its Foreign Service to continue

g at the Arthur tre yesterday

to open new markets for rice, but more importantly, private exporters must demonstrate their own capability, capacity to penetrate foreign markets for rice,” the President said.

NO LOOKING BACK He also said that his Government is not looking back at the uneasy past but to the future of the rice industry with the aim of improving relations among key stakeholders.

This, he said, will be done through consultation, collaboration and a deeper comprehension of the problems facing the industry.

Tension in the industry, he said, will be counterproductive, adding that challenges can only be overcome through cooperation - a common approach in national interest.

“All the challenges facing the industry in Guyana can be successfully addressed. I am confident in the future for rice because it is an industry that already has demonstrated its position of the expertise, of experience and particularly enterprise, the spirit of entrepreneurship,” Mr Granger said.

CLAIMS DEBUNKED He also debunked claims that the industry is on the

verge of collapse, contending that the industry is facing challenges as a result of years of neglect, institutional decay and some bad decisions.

“We must make those challenges into opportunities for change,” he said as he expressed confidence that the conference will lay the groundwork to overcome the shortcomings facing the rice sector.

The forum was a fulfilment of a promise by the APNU+AFC coalition in its 100-day plan to come up with solutions to address challenges confronting the rice industry.

In affirming that the rice industry is too big to fail, the President said the sector holds an important place in Guyana’s history, society and economy.

The rice industry plays a key role in rural development and sustains the livelihood of about 20 per cent of the population. It creates jobs for thousands of Guyanese and is the only source of income for hundreds of farmers.

Rice exports in 2014 amounted to US$249.5 million (22.4 per cent of total exports). The industry has also helped to make Guyana a food-secure nation.

In addition, in recent years, Guyana has begun the promotion of upland rice to a commercial scale, beginning with the Moco Moco rice and Sante Fe rice projects in the Rupununi, Region 9.

Porter caught red-handed wearing clothes from burgled boutique FORTY-seven-year-old Hugh Cort, a porter of Lot 116 South Ruimveldt Park, Georgetown, was yesterday sentenced to two years’ imprisonment by City Magistrate Ann McLennan after he pleaded guilty to a break-and-enter and larceny charge.

Details of the offence are that, between July 15 and 16, Cort broke and entered the store of Gordon Saul, and stole a quantity of clothing to the total value of $858,000.

Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones told the court that Saul’s boutique is located at Lime and Bent Streets in Georgetown, and that the entire ordeal of the breakage was captured on a

CCTV camera, with the footage clearly identifying the defendant as perpetrator.

The court heard that Cort was later arrested at a home in Hadfield Street which had also been broken and entered, and that he was subsequently taken to the Alberttown Police Station, where he was identified as the perpetrator of the breakage.

Moreover, Cort was even clad in a pair of pants and a jersey that had been stolen from Saul’s boutique.

Police prosecutor Jones informed the court that the convict had previously served a year’s sentence on a similar offence.

Cuban national fined $30,000 for overstaying here CITY Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday fined 20-year-old Cuban national Wilfredo Ramirez $30,000 for overstaying his time in Guyana.

Ramirez pleaded guilty to the charge which detailed that between June 15 and July 26, at Georgetown, he failed to comply with certain immigration conditions. That is to say: having been permitted to stay in Guyana from May 15 to June 14, he overstayed the said period.

The unrepresented man broke down in tears after the

charge was read to him.

Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones informed the court that, on May 15, Ramirez came to Guyana on vacation and was permitted to stay for one month -- until June 14. However, on July 26, police acting on information went to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where they contacted the defendant.

A search was conducted on his person and he was found in possession of his passport, which revealed that he had overstayed his

permitted time. Ramirez was then arrested and taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, where he was later charged with the offence.

When asked what he had to say, Ramirez responded that he wanted to contact his family. He explained that he had come to Guyana on a one-way ticket, and was working to accumulate money to travel back to his homeland.

The defendant, a security guard in Cuba, will

receive his passport after he has paid the court-ordered fine. His failure to pay the fine will, however, result in him having to serve two weeks’ imprisonment.

Cotton Field secondary schoolgirl dies suddenly A 13-year-old student of Cotton Field Secondary school died last Friday afternoon at the Suddie Hospital under mysterious circumstances.

Reports said the child, Nikita Naseeb of Lima Housing Scheme, fell ill Friday afternoon and was rushed to the Suddie Hospital where she died. Reports are not clear as to what might have caused the child's death.

An autopsy is expected to be performed on the body to determine the cause of death.

Police investigations are in progress.

Hamid poses with some of the basketballers.

By Joe Chapman THE Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Abdulla Hamid Basketball Foundation, successfully concluded its 4th annual two-week Summer Camp for boys and girls between the ages 11 and 14 years last Friday at the Mackenzie High School basketball court.

Linden-based Ministry of Education Senior Physical Education Officer Mr Lindley Langhorne said that the ministry is pleased to once again host this summer programme and hopes that the targeted children will benefit from this exercise once again.

Experienced former national and FIBA-recognised basketball coach Abdulla Hamid was in charge of the daily sessions Monday through Friday between 09:00hrs and 12:00hrs. He was ably assisted by national female player Shauna Chester and former men's national captain Steve Neils (Jr).

Langhorne said: “Some four years ago we began our summer camp throughout the Ministry of Education with the Allied Arts Department and we saw it necessary to involve different sports and when we came to Linden the person that was most capable of handling such an activity was Mr Abdulla Hamid. So

right away we involved him in this activity and since then we have been having this camp every year during the summer vacation.”

The Senior Physical Education Officer stated: “Now sport is something that takes you throughout life. It is not (as some persons will see it), as just a game, they learn a number of life skills and we work towards their physical fitness and well-being through these activities. We see it necessary for them to be gainfully occupied during their vacation so we always take this chance for them to be part of such an activity.”

Speaking to Chronicle Sport the former national

player said, “We have been running the Hamid Basketball Foundation for some 26 years and we see a lot of players from Linden advance into the national team from this camp through the Hamid Basketball Foundation Summer programme over the years.”

Among those players identified by coach Hamid who made it to the top of basketball in Guyana are Auric Tappin, Shaun Chester, Sonia Rodney, Nyota Peters, Steve Neils (Jr) Bruce Davis, Akeem Kanhai.

Then the ministry cane to me and said they have an outreach programme and wanted me to assist and right away

I signed on to it. Having the ministry play an integral role in the development of basketball is very good. So we signed on to it and this is our 4th year with them. It can only get better.”

Hamid said he was able to obtain from Mr Gavin Hope of Digicel some football jerseys which he converted to basketball vests.

He also thanked Ms Lavern Fraser for the assistance given in allowing him to outfit some of the many players now attending the camp, as well as the Ministry of Education for providing the snacks and refreshment for the kids.

FIFA wants 'independent' leader for reform taskforce

Domenico Scala

FIFA has said its reform taskforce will be chaired by an independent person from outside of football.

FIFA president Sepp

Blatter announced plans last week to form an 11-person panel to review football's scandal-hit world governing body.

Domenico Scala had earlier said he would only lead the taskforce if he is guaranteed full independence.

The Swiss businessman is already the independent chair of FIFA'S audit and compliance committee.

Scala was believed to have been prepared to lead the taskforce, after meeting presidents of three of FIFA'S six continental confederations.

But a spokesman for Scala told BBC Sport: "Domenico Scala never applied

for such a chairmanship."

He added that the post would only be considered "under the strict condition" that "independence was guaranteed".

As well as an independent chair, the taskforce will have two representatives from the AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North, Central America and the Caribbean) and UEFA (Europe), as well as one representative from each of CONMEBOL (South America) and the OFC (Oceania).

In a statement, FIFA said representatives from federations would not necessarily have to be "members of the football community" and the

confederations could decide that themselves.

Blatter, who has announced his intention to stand down as president, has said presidential term limits and integrity checks for top officials are potential areas of reform.

Recommendations are due to be presented at the next meeting of FIFA'S executive committee in Zurich on September 24 and 25.

The prospect of Scala leading an independent review of FIFA was described as "laughable" by campaign group New FIFA Now. And Alexandra Wrage, who resigned from FIFA'S independent governance

committee in April 2013 in protest at a lack of meaningful action, said even an independent chairman of the reform taskforce "can't work".

She told BBC Sport: "The process needs to be taken out of FIFA'S hands.

Short of that, it's another reform dead-end."

Blatter's resignation on June 2 followed the arrest of seven FIFA officials as part of a United States investigation that saw 14 people indicted on corruption charges.

A separate criminal investigation by Swiss authorities into how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were allocated is also under way.

BLUTC horse race meet rescheduled …KMTC meet to Sunday shifted to October

Cecil Kennard

SUNDAY’S one-day horse race meet, fixed for the

Bush Lot United Turf C l u b , S e a Vi e w P a r k , Bush Lot, West Coast B e r b i c e , h a s b e e n re scheduled to August 2.

Rainfall for most part of Sunday had left the venue in a waterlogged state, leaving the organisers with no choice but to postpone the event.

Coordinator Lakeram Sukhdeo told this publication yesterday that there will be no changes from the original programme.

The organisers have put together an impressive eight-race programme. The feature race is classified for horses in the ‘C’ Class over

1600 metres, with the winner set to race away with $1M and a trophy.

The event will be conducted under the rules of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority.

Meanwhile, the Kennard Memorial Turf Club annual Emancipation Day horse race meet, which was carded for August 2, has been postponed to October.

According to Honorary President of the KMTC, Cecil Kennard, the postponement was to facilitate emergency sea defence works which is expected to commence shortly.

Reggae Boyz have much to be proud of - Barnes HOUSTON Dynamo forward, Giles Barnes, believes Jamaica’s CONCACAF Gold Cup experience was a turning point in the nation’s football, despite the defeat to Mexico in Sunday’s final.

The Reggae Boyz, bidding for their first-ever confederation crown, went down 3-1 to Mexico in the championship game at Lincoln Financial Field.

However,, it was the first time a Caribbean side had reached the final of the prestigious competition and Barnes said it represented a significant moment.

“We should be proud as a nation with what we have been able to achieve … then again we are going to take heart from it,” said Barnes, who scored crucial goals for Jamaica throughout the tournament.

“But congratulations to Mexico as well as they have done well in the second half, but it was a learning experience.”

Jamaica entered the tournament as massive underdogs but managed to top Group B with seven points, following a gutsy 2-2 draw with Costa Rica in Los Angeles, a 1-0 win over

Shimar Flatts benefits from RHT Gizmos & Gadgets cricket teams THE Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club’s Gizmos & Gadgets (RHTY&SCGG) first division and Under-21 cricket teams last weekend donated a set of cricket gear to a promising Under-19 cricketer Shimar Flatts of Blairmont Cricket Club.

The donation was given by the cricketers as part of the club’s Silver Jubilee Anniversary celebrations.

Club Secretary/CEO of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, Hilbert Foster, stated that one of the main aims of the club is to assist youths to fulfil their potentials in sports, education and culture.

Every year hundreds of youths are assisted with sport gear, educational materials among other items, under the club’s “Live your Dream Project”.

The Gizmos & Gadgets teams, Foster said, have produced numerous cricketing talents including Assad Fudadin, Royston and Esaun Crandon, Shemaine Campbelle, Erva Giddings, Dominique Rikhi, Clinton Pestano, Eon Hooper and Akshay Homraj.

The long-serving Secretary/CEO urged the young Blairmont cricketer to develop a strong culture of

hard work, discipline and dedication in order to become not only a cricketer but a positive role model off the cricket field.

Minister of Education Dr Rupert Roopnarine handed over the gear on behalf of the cricket teams.

The donation consisted of a cricket bag, a pair of batting

pads and a cricket bat.

Guyana’s Pompey elected member of PASO Athlete Commission GUYANA’S former 400 metres specialist Aliann Pompey has been elected as a member of the Pan American Sports Organisation (PASO) Athlete Commission.

The announcement was made on Sunday during the final day of the 2015 Pan Am Games which ended here with much pomp and fanfare.

Pompey, who served as manager/coach to Guyana’s three-member athletic team to the games, is among the four new members who will serve on the commission for the next eight years. Apart from Pompey, whose portfolio falls under athletics, the other members are Adrian Escobar of El Salvador (rowing), Carlos J. Santiago

Aliann Pompey

Alicea of Puerto Rico (judo) and Thiago Pereira of Brazil (swimming).

Speaking at Sunday’s press conference, president of the PASO Athletes Commission, Alexandra Orlando, said she was thrilled to announce the success of the second athlete election that was held throughout the games, which started on July 12.

The first-ever PASO Athlete Commission was established in 2011 at the Guadalajara Pan American Games and according to Orlando, she and two members of that Commission, Andrea Muralles from Guatemala and Mijain Lopez from Cuba will continue to serve the Commission until 2019.

Vice-Chair Guillermo Perez

Sandoval from Mexico was unable to attend Sunday’s meeting.

Orlando pointed out that “it has been an absolute incredible experience for all the participating athletes who have represented their countries so well - and they have felt the warmth and hospitality of the Canadian people across the region.

“Today, as PASO Athlete Commission Chair, “our mission as an Athlete Commission is to be a strong voice for the athletes within the Pan American Sport Organisation. We ensure that the athlete’s point of view is taken into consideration in PASO’s decisions through our roles on the Executive Council and additional commissions.”

Orlando further pointed out that the commission works closely with the International Olympic Committee and other Continental Athlete Commissions to share information, knowledge and enhance programming across the region for athletes to excel on and off the field of play. “We also work closely with the organising committees for the Pan American Games to help them better the needs of the athletes.”

The commission elects four members that are elected by their respective National Olympic Committees and they serve an eight-year term.

That allows for a successful transition and consistency of work. This year, the commission received nine nomi-

nations from the respective committees.

Pompey won the gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and also won at the 2003 Pan American Games. She holds the South American indoor record for the 400 metres.

She participated at the World Championships in Athletics in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 as well as the International Athletics Association Federation (IAAF) World Indoor Championships in 2001, 2003 2006 and 2010 and the Summer Olympics in 2000, 2004 and 2008.. Her personal best time is 50.71 seconds, achieved in August 2009 at the World Championships in Berlin.

This expansion will see the hosting of several sporting competitions for youths in Berbice as part of the effort to promote sports as a positive alternative to a life on the road for youths.

Secretary/CEO of the

RHTY&SC, Hilbert Foster, stated that the club and the ‘B’ Division have worked together in the past and this new venture would strengthen the bond between them.

The two organisations late last year contributed sports gear to numerous youths and sports clubs and in June 2015 donated $250 000 worth of schoolbags to less fortunate students in the Ancient County.

IGG 2015 Guyana-leg cancelled THE FIRST leg of the 2015 Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) set for Guyana early next month has been c a n c e l l e d . D i re c t o r o f Sport Christopher Jones made the disclosure early yesterday morning after receiving correspondence, firstly from the Suriname Embassy and subsequently through the representative from Suriname, Wilfred Gallant.

According to Jones, this is due to a recent election in the Dutch-speaking country which meant that the Suriname contingent cannot participate and according to the IGG Protocol, once one team pulls out, the event should be cancelled.

“This is essentially due

to elections which were held in Suriname just after Guyana’s. At our communication level as of last week Wednesday, Suriname had not named a Minister of Education, who has the responsibility for Sport and as such, they were unable to confirm previous arrangements that were made with the previous administration.”

As it relates to the athletes who were encamped ahead of the first leg, Jones says that their training and work will not be in vain as the NSC has planned an action-packed event.

“What we will do at the level of the National Sport Commission (NSC), we will host our own spe-

themselves and of course, prizes and so forth will be awarded, so as to cushion the effects of not being able to participate in the actual games with their counterparts Suriname and French Guiana.”

Jones noted that the dates, however, have not been finalised as yet but it is more than likely that it will happen between the original scheduled IGG dates, August 6-10.

IGG PROTOCOL REVIEW Nevertheless, the Sport Director indicated that the future of the IGG remains intact for the three memberassociations.

“Suriname has made a

request via French Guiana to have the three Directors of Sport for Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, meet very early in August so that we can re-look at the Protocol and make some necessary changes where we see and deem fit. We are scheduled to meet during August 13-14 in Suriname.”

He informed the media that after this meeting then the viability of the second leg of the 2015 IGG will be determined.

The NSC director also indicated that Guyana is more than happy to review the Protocol for the games, adding that under the current document, Guyana often drew the short straw.

“There are certain aspects of the Protocol that puts Guyana at a disadvantage. For example there’s an aspect that speaks to participants being school-aged children being 19 and under and as you would know, Guyana’s academic year ends at 17-18 years old. Suriname and French Guyana would be at an advantage because their athletes would be much older. That aspect of the Protocol I would want to see changed to accommodate our athletes that are currently in school.

The first leg of the games would have seen basketball, volleyball, table tennis, chess and badminton being contested.

FIRST-CLASS batsman Shimron Hetmyer narrowly missed out on his second successive hundred as Guyana easily brushed aside Barbados by seven wickets in their fourth round Regional Under-19 Championship encounter in Spanish Town, Jamaica, yesterday.

Chasing 217 for victory at Chedwin Park, Guyana ended on 218 for three off 33.2 overs, with opener Hetmyer falling agonisingly two runs short of triple figures for 98.

The 18-year-old lefthander faced 68 balls and struck 16 fours and one six, and was at the centre of two key stands that put Guyana on course for an easy victory.

He put on 48 for the first wicket with wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach who scored 11 and then added a further 104 for the second wicket with Balchand Baldeo who made 23 off 52 balls.

When Hetmyer perished at the hands of off-spinner Nicholas Kirton, who claimed two for 37, Keemo Paul then stroked an unbeaten 29 to see Guyana home.

Ronaldo Alimohamed (2-40) and Keemo Paul (242) picked up two wickets apiece.
