‘Mad Max’ remanded to prison … has 20 gun-related cases in court

A MAN wanted for at least 20 gun-related crimes turned himself into the police yesterday and is now remanded to prison. Assistant Commissioner of Police with responsibility for the Police C Division, Marlon Chapman, confirmed that Rawle Franklin, alias ‘Mad Max’ of Plaisance turned himself into the authorities in the company of his attorney, Dexter Todd.

Yesterday, the notorious Franklin appeared before Sparendam Magistrate Zamina Ally. He was not required to plead to the charges. He is charged with attempted murder and discharging of a loaded firearm. The prosecution’s case is that on Sunday, July 26, at a dance in Plaisance, Franklin and another man, called ‘Elephant’ shot Jomo Thompson twice about his body during an argument over a gold chain. Rawle and Elephant have been on the run since then.

Although an injured Thompson was not allowed to address the court, he told the Guyana Chronicle that Franklin had shot at him before, and this time around the accusation by Franklin and ‘Elephant’ that he stole a gold chain from ‘Elephant’s friend, is false. ‘I never thief no body chain, dem know duh, is an old beef we had and he and Elephant shoot me up’ an injured Thompson told the Guyana Chronicle.

However, police, acting on information on July 31, went in search of Franklin and ‘Elephant’ but had to retire for a while after Franklin opened fire on the lawmen. Police are yet to recover the firearm they say Franklin had.

In the court room, Franklin’s attorney, Dexter Todd, argued that the police investigation into these matters are ‘premature’. Todd told the magistrate that given his client’s notorious background, the police proceeded to charge his client without proper investigation. That claim by Todd was objected to by the police prosecution, who stated that the ranks positively identified Franklin as the one who opened fire on them and that Thompson too positively identified Franklin.

Todd then moved to apply for bail in a reasonable sum, citing that his client is known to the police and therefore cannot be a flight risk. Bail was refused by the magistrate who reminded that the accused has about 20 gun-related crimes before her court, several of which he has been recorded as absent for. An angry Franklin was remanded to prison until August 10.

Police say that Franklin is the man who has been creating mayhem in the Plaisance/ Sparendaam area, pouncing on unsuspecting persons and robbing them at gunpoint.

Suspect confesses to involvement in ‘execution’ killing of seaman Sookram CRIME Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday confirmed that due to diligent investigation a suspect in police custody in ‘D’ Division has confessed to his involvement in the murder of Davonan Sookram.

He said that while they have made a breakthrough in that probe and are making some progress he did not wish to disclose much information at this time.

Sookram, a seaman, who was reportedly executed, will be laid to rest today.

Sookram, 37, left home on July 27 for Parika and had been missing since.

Police reported that at about noon on July 31, they received information that a decomposing body was observed along the access road at Ruby, with a suspected gunshot wound to the head. It was later identified

to be that of the missing man, Sookram.

A post-mortem performed on the remains of Sookram revealed that he died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

Meanwhile, a visit to the man’s former residence which is the last house down Devil’s Dam, Philadelphia, East Bank Essequibo, found his relatives, including his spouse, very reluctant to talk

to the media.

They did not divulge much information except that his funeral was planned for today and there was a wake.

Anyway, during a chat with some villagers this publication was told, after some hesitation, that Sookram and his spouse and children kept to them-

Guyana could become UWI contributor again … decision could see reduction in tuition fees for Guyanese students

By Derwayne Wills SOME 40 or more years after Guyana stopped paying monies to the University of the West Indies (UWI) as a contributing country, the Government of Guyana could be reconsidering that position.

At a post-cabinet press briefing yesterday at the Ministry of the Presidency, Governance Minister Raphael Trotman spoke about President David Granger’s recent visit to the UWI in Trinidad, where he and other officials from the University and the Trinidad and Tobago Government opened a UWI St Augustine campus in south Trinidad.

Tr o t m a n r e l a t e d t h e sentiments of the President who was impressed with the strides the UWI had made in its over 60 year history.

President Granger is also a product of the UWI St Augustine campus.

Asked whether Guyana could once again become a contributing country to the regional university, Trotman said, “The matter is up for active discussion by Cabinet.” He signalled that both Finance Minister Winston Jordan and Attorney General Basil Williams were involved in those considerations.

Cabinet, according to Trotman, will consider the extent of Guyana’s possible contributions to paying an economic cost to the University of the West Indies. The Minister is optimistic there is room for “a working relationship between the University of Guyana and the University of the West Indies.”

The only contention, Trotman disclosed, was whether Guyana should become integrated into the UWI system, or whether the country, and the University of Guyana, should remain independent.

UWI St Augustine Campus Principal, Professor Clement Sankat, spoke with this reporter in March of this

cation and the movement of people that Guyana could become linked to the Caribbean. “If that engagement with the Region does not get deeper,” he continued, “then I feel that Guyana’s future, and its integration, may more be linked to South America.”

While clarifying that Guyana’s integration to South America is not a bad thing,

MINISTER RAPHAEL TROTMAN

year on Guyana possibly becoming part of the UWI fold, since it was a founding member of the UWI. Professor Sankat, a Guyanese national living in Trinidad since 1969, said Guyana has become detached from the Caribbean environment.

Sankat believed that the detachment resulted, as seen in other CARICOM countries, from the competition of national institutions, like the University of Guyana, with regional ones like the UWI. The Campus Principal said it is only through edu-

Sankat lauded the UWI as being the “bastion, a repository, and also a generator of knowledge on all things West Indian,” of which Guyana is part.

Sankat recalled his meeting with former President Bharrat Jagdeo and then Education Minister Sheik Baksh during the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration, when he discussed the possibility of Guyanese students pursuing their Masters degrees or even Doctorates at the UWI. Those pleas seem to have fallen on

deaf ears.

The University of the West Indies was formed in 1948 when its first campus was set up in Jamaica. Other campuses were set up in Barbados in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 1960s.

At that time, Guyana was seeking independence from the British Crown and had already moved to set up

a founding member of the UWI. With the introduction of regional integration systems like CARICOM, the UWI has served as the hub for higher education in the Region with scholars and laureates moulding the region’s minds to become active participants in advancing the Caribbean development agenda.

UWI St Augustine Campus Principal, Professor Clement Sankat the University of Guyana in 1962, operating in the Queen’s College compound.

Upon the 1964 establishment of the University of Guyana campus at Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, there were considerations to have monies redirected from UWI to the local university.

That decision, which was finalised between the late 60s and early 70s, saw Guyanese students attending the University of Guyana as the premier institution in Guyana, although Guyana was

With Guyana not being a contributing country to the UWI, Guyanese students are classed in the bracket of students from “non-contributing Association of Caribbean States (ACS) countries.”

The other two brackets are students from “contributing countries”, and those from the “international” community.

Guyanese students today pay an average of US$175 per academic credit. A university course in one academic term has three credits.

It was in 2007 that Guyana was moved from its status as a “non-contributing country” to that of a “non-contributing ACS country.”

Sankat’s advocacy saw Guyanese students saving a considerable amount of money since previously Guyanese students were expected to pay US$375 per academic credit under the classification of “international” students.

If the Guyana Government were to follow through with the decision to once again contribute to the UWI, Guyanese students could pay a considerably low rate in tuition.

Government contributions account for 80% of the student’s tuition which means the average Guyanese student would pay rates as low as of US$1000 per academic year, similar to current University of Guyana rates.

The decision by the Guyana Government, if approved, could see favour with many in opening the doors for cultural, social, and economic exchanges between the Caribbean Community and Guyana, one of the four founding members.

Notable Guyanese who graduated from the UWI include President David Granger, Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan, former UWI Chancellor Professor Nigel Harris, UWI Campus Principal Professor Clement Sankat, and the late Leader of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) Dr Walter Rodney, who was also a lecturer at the UWI campus in Jamaica.

Migrant boat capsizes in At least 10 killed by Mediterranean, at least 25 dead two car bombs in Baghdad: sources capsized before our very eyes,” an Irish navy commander told state broadcaster RTE. Overloaded boats carrying migrants often turn over due to sudden movements by the desperate passengers when they spot rescuers arriving.

The Mediterranean Sea has become the world’s most deadly border area for migrants.

More than 2,000 migrants and refugees have died so far this year in attempts to reach Europe by boat, compared with 3,279 deaths during the whole of last year, the International Organization for Migration said on Tuesday.

Wednesday’s rescue operation, which included vessels from the Italian and Irish navies

(Reuters) A BOAT packed with up to 700 migrants capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya on Wednesday and many were feared dead, officials and aid agencies said.

The Italian Coast Guard and the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said about 400 people had been rescued and 25 bodies had been recovered so far, although it was still not clear exactly how many people were on board.

UNHCR spokesman Federico Fossi said as many as 100 people may have been in the hull when the steel boat capsized as rescue ships approached it. “Our worst fear was realised when the ship

and the humanitarian group Medecins sans Frontieres, continued into the evening.

MSF, whose rescue ship Dignity 1 was in the area, said in a tweet that the boat was believed to have been carrying about 700 people. Irish Defense Minister Simon Coveney said he feared that “loss of life is likely to be significant”.

In April, a fishing boat with up to 800 migrants sank, making it the deadliest shipwreck in the Mediterranean for decades and a symbol of Europe’s long-running migrant crisis.

The 20-metre (66-foot) vessel capsized as it approached a merchant ship that had come to its assistance.

(Reuters) AT least 10 people were killed and 22 others wounded in two car bomb attacks on Wednesday that targeted predominately Shi’ite neighborhoods in Baghdad, police and medical sources said.

Six civilians were killed when a car packed with explosives was detonated in the northeastern district of Sadr City. Twelve others were wounded in the crowded residential neighborhood, the sources said.

Later in the day, a car bomb exploded in the northern al-Husseiniya district, killing four people and wounding 11.

China says has stopped reclamation work in South China Sea (Reuters) CHINESE Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday that Beijing had halted land reclamation in the South China Sea, and called on countries in the Region to speed up talks on how claimant states should conduct themselves in the disputed waters.

In June, China said it would soon complete some of its reclamation in the Spratly

archipelago of the South China Sea, while adding it would continue to build facilities on the man-made islands.

Wa n g ’s r e m a r k s a t a Regional meeting in Kuala Lumpur appeared designed to defuse tensions with other countries that lay claim to parts of the sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year.

Beijing claims most of the

waters, while the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.

The United States and Japan have expressed alarm at China’s expansion in the South China Sea, which they suspect is aimed at extending its military reach, and U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry raised the issue with Wang in the Malaysian capital.

“China is always committed to working with the countries concerned to resolve disputes through peaceful negotiation,” Wang told Kerry, according to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry.

“Countries that are not in the region should respect the efforts made by China and ASEAN countries.”

Suspension for three guards THREE senior prison officers have been suspended from all duties from the Port-of-Spain State Prison, Frederick Street, in relation to the July 24 jailbreak.

The T&T Guardian was reliably informed that two officers—an acting ASP with 33 years service and a PO II with over 20 years service—were served with their suspension letters on Monday evening in the presence of the Commissioner of Prisons Sterling Stewart and Deputy of Commissioner of Prisons William Alexander.

The third guard was served Tuesday.

The trio will have to await word from the Public Service Commission to find out if they will be entitled to a full salary, salary cut or no salary during their suspension leave.

The suspension letters allegedly stated the officers were suspended because of failure to act promptly on information surrounding the planned prison break.

However, according to a prisons source, prison officers who allegedly received the information to the actual time of the escape taking place, all happened within five minutes.

“We, the prison officers, believe the suspension of some of the officers are being brought down because of alleged political pressure. It is a sad day in T&T that we have had to reach this state,” said a prison officer who wished not to be identified.

“The level of aggression, discrimination and victimisation is overbearing,” the officer added.

On July 24, 2015 at about 12:30 pm Hassan Atwell, Christopher “Monster” Selby and Allan “Scanny” Martin pointed guns at prison officers on duty.

Martin got the keys to the front gate which he opened for them to run out onto Frederick Street.

PC Sherman Maynard was shot as the escapees targeted the vehicle in which he was sitting. He subsequently died while undergoing

emergency surgery at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital. Martin was shot dead by police on the hospital’s compound.

Atwell and Selby escaped but Atwell was gunned down on July 25 at East Dry River, Port-ofSpain. On July 26, Selby surrendered at the Barataria Police Station.

Selby appeared before a Port-of-Spain magistrate on Monday on ten charges, including escaping lawful custody, Maynard’s murder, committing common assault on prison officers Kerron Prime, Jean Marc Hernandez and Nicholas Singh and two for shooting at prison officer Leon George and Maynard’s colleague Tisean Francis with intent to cause them grievous bodily harm.

The common assault charges allegedly arose when Selby and his accomplices used two guns to threaten the prison officers to make good their escape.

Cop in court for sexual assault, kidnapping (Trinidad Express) POLICE Constable Bobby Roopnarine appeared in the Siparia Magistrates’ Court Tuesday charged with attempted rape, grievous sexual assault and kidnapping.

He is alleged to have committed the offences on Boxing Day, 2014.

Roopnarine, 35 of Penal, is the father of one.

He appeared before Magistrate Armina Deonarinesingh, who granted him $300,000 bail under the conditions that he stay at least 200 feet from the alleged victim, have no direct or indirect contact with her, and obtain permission from the

court if he wants to leave the country.

In his bid for bail, defence attorney Chris Ramlal told the court that Roopnarine has no pending or previous matters before the court, has close ties with the community through sport, lives with his parents and has a nine-yearold son.

He told the court that Roopnarine’s passport had expired since 2010 but it will be produced to the court at his client's next court appearance.

Roopnarine who was last attached to the St Mary’s Police Post, gave himself up to police after learning there was a warrant out for his arrest.

Ramlal called for documents to be handed over from the prosecution, including the criminal record, if any, of the alleged victim and the station diary information in relation to a report made by Roopnarine.

Police prosecutor Sgt Baptiste who made no objection to bail being granted but asked that conditions be imposed.

He said Roopnarine will be suspended from the Police Service, pending the determination of the criminal matters. He also said that a State attorney will be appointed to prosecute in the cases. Roopnarine was charged by Sgt Ramsingh.

Deonarinesingh placed Roopnarine on bail and ordered that he return to court on August 28.

Roopnarine was charged that on December 26, 2014, he attempted to have sexual intercourse with a woman who was not his wife and without her consent and that he committed an act of grievous sexual assault on the woman without her consent. It was also alleged that on that day he also took and carried her away against her will.

EDITORIAL Bob Marley’s Emancipate Yourself from Mental Slavery AS we celebrate Emancipation, Bob Marley’s well known quotation, “ E m a ncipate Yourse lf from mental slavery,” is frequently invoked. The words come from one of his immortal songs, “Redemption Song.” Marley himself had borrowed those words from another Caribbean icon, Marcus Garvey, who uttered them as he rallied Blacks across the world to rise up and take their rightful place among the rest of humanity. In the process he sounded the warning that although the physical shackles of slavery were

gone, the mental shackles were still prevalent and needed to be frontally addressed. That theme has remained a central aspect of the Black Nationalist discourse.

That he was able to put it to song and in the process capture the sentiments of many millions of people of later generations speaks volumes about the special instincts of both Garvey and Marley. But who was Bob Marley? Bob Marley has to be located in the Caribbean Radical tradition, in particular its post-independence manifestations of Black Power

and People’s Power. Bob Marley is to Reggae what Walter Rodney was to Caribbean Post independence Radical Intellectualism and Politics, what Vivian Richards was to West Indies Cricket and what the Mighty Sparrow is to Modern Calypso music.

All of those persons were/ are products of a particular moment in Caribbean history that I call the Radical Moment.

To understand Marley’s music better, then, one has to interrogate it against the political socio-economic and cultural developments in the Caribbean from the

1940s to the 1980s. The contention is that the lyrics reflect the issues and perspectives of the era.

Towards this end the essay interweaves Marley’s lyrics with the political developments of the period to give readers a better understanding of the two.

Bob Marley was and still is the best known reggae singer to come out of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Many hail him as the” King of Reggae,” which suggests that he is the greatest reggae singer ever. Indeed, it was Marley who took reggae music to international

audiences. His life was tragically cut short at the young age of 36, when he died of cancer. But he has become more famous in death. Succeeding generations recognise his music and lyrics, although he has been dead since 1981.

This is quite rare, even for great artists.

Marley’s popularity can be attributed to the range of his issues addressed by his music, which spoke and continues to speak to people across generations, issues, ideologies and, to some extent, race and

class. His music and lyrics represent an uncompromising defense of the poor and the powerless and an affirmation of the dignity of the nation, race and country.

He championed the cause of Black Liberation, but he did not seem to alienate non-Blacks.

He sang primarily about life in Jamaica and the Caribbean, yet he penetrated the consciousness of people beyond the Caribbean with his message of brotherhood, sisterhood, love and righteousness.

Guyana Goldfields pours first gold bar at Aurora mine - aiming at 30,000 ounces to 50,000 ounces of gold in 2015

GUYANA GOLDFIELDS Inc. (GGI) announced on Tuesday that the first gold production has been achieved on-time and on-budget at its Aurora gold mine in Region 7.

This first gold production was attained through the gravity and saprolite production circuits which allowed for earlier gold production (pre-commercial production) through the processing plant, the company said in a press release.

Initial startup gold was captured by processing the lowest grade ore available and GGI is now progressing towards full saprolite circuit operation and will gradually feed the mill with higher grade material. The

commissioning and startup of the hard rock crushing circuit is projected to be completed later in the third calendar quarter of 2015.

GGI expects to produce between 30,000 ounces to 50,000 ounces of gold in 2015, depending on how quickly full ramp-up is achieved, and approximately 120,000 ounces to 140,000 ounces of gold in 2016.

The company plans to issue an updated National Instrument (NI) 43-101 Technical Report Feasibility Study in the first quarter of 2016 for the project which will reflect an extended open pit mining scenario while deferring the underground production until

later in the mine life, as well as current operating cost parameters and an updated ore reserve metal price.

They also revealed that it is sufficiently funded to complete construction of the Aurora Gold Mine. As of June 30, 2015, the company had approximately US$20 million of capital expenditures remaining to complete the Aurora Gold Mine.

GGI is managing its overall development budget so as not to exceed US$277 million which includes the initial development costs of US$249 million for the project and US$28 million in financing costs, pre-operating costs and working capital investment.

The project remains to be

tracking on budget with an untouched US$52 million overrun facility available, if needed, the release said.

Meanwhile, GGI expects to report its interim consolidated financial statement results of the company for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 on or around August 13, 2015.

Scott A. Caldwell, President and CEO said that, “Our first gold pour is an extraordinary achievement in GGI’s transition from an exploration and development company to a high grade, low cost gold producer. We would like to celebrate this significant accomplishment for all that have contributed from the project’s inception and

thank our shareholders and stakeholders in supporting the development of the project, including our Board of Directors, management team, employees and contractors as well as the lenders for the debt financing syndicate comprised of International Finance Corporation, Export Development Canada, ING Capital LLC, Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation and the Bank of Nova Scotia.

In addition, “we wish to thank the Government of Guyana and local communities for their continued support through the development of the project.

The focus at the site now is to increase gold production to our target level of

50,000 ounces during the balance of this year.”

GGI is a Canada-based company, focused on the exploration and development of gold deposits in Guyana, South America.

GGI is focused on the construction and development of the Aurora Gold Project scheduled for first production in mid-2015.

The Aurora Gold Project has a total gold resource of 6.54 million ounces in the measured and indicated categories (62.83 million tonnes at 3.24 g/t Au) as well as an additional 1.82 million ounces in the inferred category (16.93 million tonnes at 3.34 g/t Au), the release concluded.

CCJ compliments Guyana AG and Government for swift compliance with Court Order THE President of the Caribbean Court of Justice, Justice D. Byron, on behalf of the CCJ, has complimented the Minister of Legal Affairs, Attorney General Basil Williams and the Government of Guyana for the swift manner in which the Government complied with the Order of the Court. The AG, in association with the Deputy Solicitor General, Prithima Kissoon, appeared on July

31, 2015, via video conferencing, before Caribbean Court of Justice President, Justice D. Byron, Justice R. Nelson, Justice A. Saunders, Justice Wit and Justice Hayton where the AG intimated to the Court that an Agreement of Settlement was reached between the parties whereby the Government of Guyana agreed to pay to the claimants, Rudisa Beverages & Juices N.V., the

sum of US six million, two hundred thousand dollars ($6,200,00,00) on or before January 31, 2016.

The AG had reported to the CCJ on July 23, 2015, that the Government of Guyana was in negotiations with Rudisa Beverages & Juices N.V. for a settlement of the judgment delivered by the CCJ on May 08, 2014. That information presented by the AG resulted in the CCJ ordering that the parties reach

an agreement of settlement with regard to the judgment delivered by the CCJ in Rudisa Beverages & Juices N.V. and Caribbean International Distributors Inc. v. the Co-operative Republic of Guyana No. OA 003 of 2013 Informing the Court that the claimants agreed to accept payment in full and final discharge and satisfaction of the judgment of the Court made on the May 08, 2015, the AG also said that the Co-operative Republic of

Guyana would cease to collect the Environmental Tax on imported non-returnable beverage containers, which qualify for (CARICOM) Community Treatment as of July 31, 2015.

The CCJ said that they had become aware, through the internet, that the Government of Guyana had repealed the Environmental Tax on July 30, 2015. The AG then informed the Court that a repeal of the offending legislation that breached the Treaty

of Chaguramas, which was the cause of the litigation

by Rudisa Beverages, had been successfully passed by the National Assembly and was awaiting the assent of the President of Guyana, His Excellency David Granger.

The case has been adjourned to February 26, 2016, for report on compliance by the Government of Guyana with the Agreement of Settlement between the parties.

New ambulance, infrastructural works proposed in Region 9 budget - Gov’t intervention needed to tackle challenges

By Ravin Singh PROPOSED in the 2015 Budget for the advancement of development in Region 9 (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) are several infrastructural works and the procurement of a new ambulance to boost the region’s health sector.

Region 9, next door to Brazil, is the largest administrative region in Guyana, bordering Potaro-Siparuni (Region 8) to the north and East Berbice-Corentyne (Region 6) to the east.

Not without challenges though, the Region which was described by Regional Executive Officer (REO), Carl Parker, as one possessing people who live in “relative unity”, has over the years struggled with development.

But with the presentation of Budget 2015 slated for August 10, Parker gave a sneak peek into some of the proposed capital expenditures which were proposed

in the region’s budget.

In the health sector, the REO revealed the Regional Democratic Council’s (RDC’s) intention to acquire a four-wheel drive ambulance to aid in the delivery of medical services.

Additionally, rehabilitation of the Aishalton hospital is proposed in order to make it more habitable.

In the education sector in the region, Parker disclosed that there are plans to rehabilitate the dormitory at St. Ignatius, which is crowded, and restore the one at Annai which is not in good order.

However, this year, the REO said, much capital works will not be done in the region due to the time span given for the budget preparation and the weather pattern in the Rupununi which would be problematic in getting these projects completed.

Nevertheless, he remains hopeful that those proposed projects will be executed at the soonest possible time.

Attention was then di-

rected to certain challenges plaguing the region, which contributes significantly to the stifling of economic, social and cultural growth.

SHALLOW WELLS Traditionally, it is known that the Rupununi sources its water from ‘shallow wells.’

However, in the dry season, those wells run dry, threatening water security and further contributing to the strangulation of social and economic development in the Region.

However, according to Parker, this issue is being “incrementally” addressed since some “deep wells” are currently being developed with solar pumps, complemented by overhead tanks. That would be an ongoing project, he said, adding that the issue is being addressed in accordance with its priority.

To this end, he expressed the hope, that within the next five years, at least 75 per cent of the villagers will not have to depend on those shallow

wells which pose problems in the dry season.

SECURITY Acknowledging the security problems in the region, the REO said that the 1,000-mile border between Guyana and Brazil - which also forms part of the boundary for Region 9, contributes negatively in this regard. Smuggling, trafficking, cattle rustling and the ease of access between the two countries after committing crimes, are just a few of the security challenges faced daily, due to the geographical location of the region.

But according to Parker, this is an issue which central government will have to address since the regional body currently lacks the resources needed to tackle the issue.

But the key to addressing some of the security problems in this region is maintaining a good relationship with the authorities across the borders. And that

is exactly what the authorities in Region 9 have been working towards.

CROSS BORDER COMMITTEE The REO said, “We’re hoping that the cross-border committee that was started with the last Administration will continue so that we can collaborate on several issues. We have in that regard, to meet strict quality control standards so that our people can benefit from cross border trade which is also a major challenge in the Rupununi.”

QUALITY CONTROL In this region, Parker noted, there is great potential for local goods to be taken to Brazil and sold due to the size of the markets existing there. However, what is needed is the implementation of strict quality control.

GEORGETOWN TO LETHEM ROAD The next major chal-

lenge stifling the development of the region is the access road from Georgetown to Lethem. Once developed, the possibilities leading to development in the region will remain endless, Parker maintained, adding that it is hoped that the Government will address this issue with a medium to long-term strategy.

To this end, the RDC will explore and discuss and come up with recommendations which will aim at pushing the Government to speed up plans for the access road.

These challenges, and a few other minor ones, are what the RDC will be addressing, given their new mandate by the Communities Ministry. It is hoped, he said, that residents will benefit from the cross-border trade and social, economic and physical development will be manifested in every corner of the region.

$36M approved to spruce up Guyana for 50th Anniversary celebrations

By Shivanie Sugrim

NATIONAL COMMEMORATION COMMISSION

CABINET has afforded the National Task Force some $36M for the rehabilitation, restoration and renewal of Guyana in preparation for the country’s 50th anniversary celebrations in May 2016.

This approval was sought through a memorandum that was submitted to Cabinet by Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson. The memorandum sought to bring to a minimum, complications arising from torrential rainfalls that would hinder the country’s 50th anniversary celebrations next year.

Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman made this disclosure at the weekly post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday at the Ministry of the Presidency.

A multiparty task force was established over a month ago to examine the country’s drainage settings and measures required to rehabilitate the city itself. In this regard, Trotman pointed out that Cabinet has reviewed some of the recent and laudable efforts of the task force. Moreover, he charged it with overseeing works for the restoration of the city and the removal of any likely impediments during the 50th Independence celebrations.

“This task force will have representations from various committees as well as the coordinating committee that is looking into our 50th Anniversary celebrations,” said Trotman.

Under the aegis of the Ministry of Education, a National Commemoration Commission has been established for the planning of national events, primarily the 50th anniversary celebrations. President David Granger himself, has charged the Ministry with carrying out this Commission.

The establishment of the Commission was formally approved by Cabinet on July 22nd. The Commission will be co-chaired by the Ministers of Education, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine and Nicolette Henry and will include representatives of several government agencies, ministries, civil society, organisations, and the diaspora community.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education is currently in the process of convening the Commission and establishing a formal Secretariat and dedicated working Committees to carry out planning activities for Independence Day next year.

The Commission is slated to publicise its full mandate and the activities planned for the country’s 50th anniversary, come mid-August.

Since its formation, the task force, stimulated by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure itself, has been active in restoring the city given the recent inundations. The community of Albouystown was the hardest hit in Region 4 (Demerara-Mahaica) followed by Ogle and Buxton on the East Coast of Demerara, as well as Region 3 (Essequibo Islands-West

Demerara).

The unusual torrential rainfall caused businesses to come to a standstill owing to the damaging floodwaters. The Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) has reported some amount of cattle deaths and poultry loss in the same areas as well as acres of cash-crop losses.

Government was forced to activate the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC), an element of the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), that is a part of the task force set up by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure.

The task force was quite effective in restoring the city in a time of need as a systematic plan was set up to help persons to move around in their communities.

In this regard, Government has lauded the efforts of the task force and has given it the responsibility of ensuring that torrential rainfall, which usually occurs in May-June, does not hinder the activities of the country’s 50th anniversary celebration, come May 2016.

Minister of Tourism, Cathy Hughes and Minister of State, Joseph Harmon visited the Caribana celebrations in Toronto, Canada last weekend to meet with the diaspora and to promote the “new” Guyana and its preparations for its 50th anniversary.

Trotman disclosed that the trips by Harmon and Hughes were partially funded by the Government of Guyana and private interests.

‘Forensic audits are confidential’ - Minister Sharma

By Ravin Singh THE ongoing forensic audits at State agencies, embarked upon by the APNU+AFC Administration, remain “confidential” at this point in time, says Minister within the Ministry of Finance, Jaipaul Sharma.

During an invited comment with this publication recently, Sharma, who is responsible for overseeing the successful execution of these audits, said that difficulties have been encountered since this initiative was undertaken by the Government.

‘UNCOOPERATIVE’ He explained that these difficulties have come about because some employees at the State agencies remain “uncooperative” with the relevant authorities conducting the audits. And this has resulted in a slowing down of the process which is now expected to take longer than was expected.

Refusing to divulge further information, Sharma maintained that such a process remains “confidential” at this point in time. However, anything that is contrary to legal and professional conduct, which might be unearthed, will be investigated, the Minister within the Ministry of Finance assured.

Detailing the process, Sharma related that after the consultant or accounting firm has completed their audits into an agency, a report is then sent to the entity from which a response would be needed. Following this, the consultant or accounting firm will then have just about a week to incorporate those responses into their findings and present a final report which will then be sent to the Finance Minister. The Ministry would then vet the report and recommend if any further work is needed to be done

at the entity.

To this end, he disclosed that the only report received by the Ministry so far is based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which the Ministry has examined. This was done by Sharma himself, who told the Guyana Chronicle that he indicated to the accounting firm that further work needs to be done into the agency.

The Minister Sharma also made mention of the recent “unfolding” findings at the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), where it was alleged that the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO) and another board member were fingered in financial improprieties.

According to Sharma, “The DCEO and a board member paid themselves large sums of monies without the consent of relevant authorities.”

That investigation, he MINISTER said, was a “special investiJAIPAUL SHARMA gation”, separate from that of the forensic audit which was pursued after information reaching the Ministry had suggested that there were financial irregularities. “But this investigation was done before the forensic audit had commenced at GPL; we haven’t started GPL yet,” he noted.

But according to him, a forensic audit of GPL would consume more time than that of a normal State-owned agency since it is a “large entity”. In this regard, it was noted that a Terms of Reference (TOR) draft is needed

for this undertaking.

The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) was also described by the Minister as being a “very large entity”, which would require the same procedure as that of GPL, due to the nature of the agency. “We haven’t started as yet though, because we are working on the TOR to have international people come to execute that work,” Sharma said.

Acknowledging that there are professional people in Guyana, Sharma noted that the Government would be aiming to reduce the chances of people accusing them of “witch-hunting” by seeking to source international personnel to execute those functions.

This move by the APNU+AFC Government, just a few months ago, was praised by British High Commissioner James Gregory Quinn, during an interview with Kaieteur News.

FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY Expressing that it is certainly “the right way to go”, Quinn underscored the importance of Governments demonstrating fiscal accountability and transparency.

“I think it is perfectly legitimate for an incoming Government to examine what the previous Government has done. So I have no problem with A Partnership for National Unity plus the Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) examining the actions of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP). They are doing it in the right way, they are doing the forensic audits, and that is perfectly right. That is the right direction to go too” the British High Commissioner told Kaieteur News.

The forensic audits are expected to be conducted into almost 30 state agencies, national projects and funds.

Man arrested in Montrose ‘granny’ murder probe fits video image

9

- man who might still be serving GDF could also be questioned

By Leroy Smith

POLICE at CID yesterday began receiving calls from persons who are willing to assist them in solving the murder of 76-year-old Carmine Ganesh.

The Guyana Chronicle was told that so far two persons who have seen the surveillance camera footage of the suspect at the house while the woman was being killed have come forward to confirm that the images are quite similar to the man who is in custody.

Crime Chief Wendel Blanhum told this newspaper yes-

terday the young man resides between East Ruimveldt in Georgetown and Bare Root on the East Coast Demerara.

While the crime chief was not willing to state the name of the young man in custody, this newspaper was later informed that he goes by the name Leon Paul.

He was in 2014 charged and placed before the courts for an offence of larceny from the person and for was made to post $50,000 bail on his first appearance.

The Crime Chief cautioned, however, that not because the young man was picked up he has anything to

do with the murder. Blanhum then referred to other high profile cases where several persons were picked up and questioned as the police sought to solve murders and other crimes.

The Guyana Chronicle was also informed that at the location where the suspect was picked up, police investigators also removed a camouflage short pants that is similar to what the person in the video was wearing at the time the murder was caught on camera.

Meanwhile after the police released an image on Monday that shows a sus-

Psychiatric patient on carjacking charges …again accused of similar offence A 25-YEAR-old psychiatric patient from the Georgetown Public Hospital clinic, who is currently before the court on two charges of carjacking, was yesterday slapped with another charge when he appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan.

It is alleged that Raymond Samaroo of 20 Owen Street, Kitty, who is a Route 40 minibus driver, on Monday at Lot 35 Garnett Street, Campbellville stole a Honda CRV Civic bearing registration number PLL 2966, valued $5 million and a $25,000 Samsung cellular phone along with $30,000 cash, property of Ronda Joaquin.

Samaroo was not required to plead to the indictable offence. However, Magistrate McLennan allowed him to plead after the Administration of Justice Act was applied.

The charge was re-read and the prosecution made an application for the matter to be tried at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

Regarding the details of what happened on June 27 and 28, Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones told the court that the Virtual Complainant (VC) had parked her car in front of her house to open the gate, when the accused jumped into the driver’s seat and drove away.

The prosecutor told the

court that an alarm was raised and the police set up a road block but the defendant managed to escape and injured two police officers in the process.

Subsequently, the police were able to arrest Samaroo after he crashed into a trench at Mocha, East Bank Demerara while police were in hot pursuit.

Attorney Clyde Forde, representing Samaroo, gave the court the information regarding his client’s mental condition and advised that he be placed in the care of the Psychiatric Clinic once more.

Nevertheless, Jones objected to bail on the grounds that Samaroo has pending matters before the court of a similar nature, and it is alleged that the defendant committed the said offence while on bail.

He added that the defendant had given Lot 228 Owen Street, Kitty as his address but the one given to the court is not the same.

The attorney, however, cleared the air regarding the prosecution’s claims about the different address. Samaroo, Forde noted, may have been in one of his mental episodes and was not in his right state of mind and gave the police a conflicting address.

Magistrate McLennan remanded Samaroo to prison and ordered him to return to

the psychiatric hospital until his next court date on August 20.

In July Samaroo was remanded but was subsequently released on bail when he appeared before the court after he stole motor car PHH 5935, valued $5 million from Rishi Lall on June 27, while on Sheriff Street, Georgetown.

He also stole the same car on June 28 from the vicinity of the Kitty Police Station on Alexander Street, Kitty, Georgetown.

According to the prosecution facts, Lall on the day in question was on Sheriff Street with his girlfriend and he was outside the vehicle while she was inside. They did not notice when the accused jumped into the driver’s seat of the car until he attempted to drive off with her in the car. The young woman responded by jumping out of the car.

An alarm was raised and the police chased the man in the car. However, he escaped by jumping out of the vehicle with the keys. The police were able to recover the car in good order and towed it to the Kitty Police Station. However, Samaroo went there and drove the car away from the Police Station the following day. He was chased once more by the police and finally apprehended.

pect who is wanted in connection with the murder of the 76-year-old woman, the Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that the young man in the image might be a resident or someone who frequents an East Coast Demerara community.

Persons who saw the image of the suspect contacted

this publication to state that it resembles that of a young man from the East Coast Community of Buxton, who goes by the name Wayne.

The police are also running background checks on another young man whose name and photograph are available to this publication. It was pointed out that the police

received information that this man who also has a slight resemblance to the suspect in the image released by the police is connected to the Guyana Defence Force.

Police sources also confirmed that they sent images of this man to the GDF to ascertain if he was ever in the army.

Man remanded over Emancipation Day armed robbery PETER George, 20, of Lot 106 ‘A’ Meadow Brook Gardens who was accused of armed robbery on Emancipation Day was yesterday remanded to prison after he requested that his matter be tried at the High Court.

George was accused of being armed with a dangerous weapon, to wit a gun, on August 1 at East Ruimveldt and robbed Yolanda Garraway of $60,000, property of Christopher John.

The matter was deemed indictable but the prosecutor requested the Administration of Justice Act (AJA) to be applied. The defendant was advised by the magistrate on the option of his matter being heard before the Magistrates’ Court where the penalty is lesser or at the High Court before the Judge and jury where the penalty is higher.

The young man, however, left the court amazed and his

family shocked when he told the magistrate that he wanted his matter to be tried in the High Court.

The unemployed man was refused bail after the prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones, objected on the grounds that a gun was used in the commission of the crime and the gravity of the charge. George is scheduled to report to court on August 20.

Trotman clears air on salary increases MINISTER of Governance, Raphael Trotman has emphatically dismissed claims that the Government is about to immediately “increase significantly,” the salaries of its ministers, presidential advisors, Government officials, and all parliamentarians.

News of this supposed “immediate increase” surfaced last week.

At yesterday’s post-Cabinet press briefing, held at the Ministry of the Presidency, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown, Minister Trotman explained that the Government is looking at “across-the-board” salary increases. This will apply to all public servants and will include persons in the security forces.

Trotman dismissed claims from some sections of the media which are touting as much as a “100% hike in salaries for ministers of Government.” He deemed this as “amusing and ludicrous.”

Trotman noted that his colleague, Finance Minister Winston Jordan, had specifically mentioned that an increase was being considered but that no fixed figure was put forward nor time ascribed for an increase.

According to the Minister of Governance, the Government is approaching “salary increases” in a very patient and professional manner, and “all reviews of salaries for the Public Service are under the purview of Professor Harold Lutchman,” who is a former member of the Board of Trustees of the Caribbean Court of Justice and also a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guyana.

In proffering reasons for salary increases, the minister said that apart from “honouring its first 100-day promises,” there is a need to distinguish, via salary scales, the various categories of Government officers, including ministers and junior ministers, vice presidents and presidential advisors. He pointed out that “None of these were catered for over the last 20 years, and so, as a matter of law, there will have to be adjustments.”

The rich legacy of Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham lives on

By Sharma Solomon ANOTHER death anniversary of Mr. Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham has come around and now is the time to reflect on his life.

The Burnham Government had developed a national policy which envisaged Guyanese controlling the commanding heights of our economy by harnessing local resources for our benefit. It was this vision, bolstered by a dream, that led to the establishment of institutions such as the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST) which operates out of the University of Guyana (UG).

In 2012, I had the pleasure of meeting Professor Suresh Narine, who explained just how important IAST is to the development and advancement of our people.

Guyanese are encouraged and delighted about the ability of our fellow citizens and the potential of our natural resources, with the discovery that our home-grown passion fruit has anti-bacterial properties. This is good news for health care. Congratulations are in order to Professor Raymond Jagessar and his team for their hard work. Once again, Mr. Burnham’s belief that “Yes, we can” is made a reality.

It was this belief in our ability and desire to prove ourselves that put Guyana on the road of converting our rice into flour; our processed carambola (five-finger) entering the European market; the mass production of plantain chips, earlier condemned but are today in our supermarkets, though imported from Central America.

In the metropolitan countries the demonised rice flour is sold as Health Food. Gerber and Kellogg, major food brands, have converted rice into cereal for adults and baby foods.

Mr. Burnham’s advocacy for the use of our local herbs as staple tea was not met with much enthusiasm. Today, these “bush teas” are sold in the supermarkets, most, if not all with imported labels. Jamaica sells us Cerassie tea, which we call corilla; Britain and USA sell us lemongrass tea, all of which are growing in our backyards. The potential for local job opportunities has not escaped me.

Thirty years after his departure, Mr. Burnham's dream lives on; as Guyanese we continue through the IAST to do research and development to harness our nation's resources for the benefit of all.

Man gets two-year GPF responds sentence for break-and- to Mahendra enter and larceny Ramkellawan’s T W E N T Y- Y E A R - O L D Adrian English of Lot 538 ‘C’ Field, Sophia was Tuesday sentenced to two years’ imprisonment by City Magistrate Ann McLennan on a break-and-enter and larceny charge committed on the dwelling house of Onel Maxwell at William Street Campbellville between July 8 and 9, from where he stole a quantity of items to the value of $370,000.

English pleaded guilty after the Administration of Justice Act (AJA) was applied to the charge. The items he stole were: two flat screen television sets worth $220,000; two gas bottles worth $20,000; two microwave ovens worth $80,000; one perfume worth $35,000; two jars of skin cream worth $3,000; two bottles of shampoo and conditioner worth $5,000; and a modem worth $7,000.

The prosecution’s facts are that on July 8, Maxwell secured his home and left to conduct business in Georgetown. Upon his return on July 09, he noticed the door of the lower flat of his house broken, and when he entered the home, he discovered the said articles missing.

An investigation was launched when the matter was reported to the police, and fingerprints were uplifted at the crime scene which, when analysed, matched the prints of the said defendant.

And when he was called in for questioning, under caution he admitted to breaking into the said home along with an accomplice named ‘Fowl’.

Prosecutor Deniro Jones explained that some of the items were recovered at the home of English, who, in 2010, had been incarcerated for three years for a matter

similar in nature.

Standing from the prisoner dock in shackles, the accused explained that he was not the one who had broken into the home, but it was a man named ‘Fowl’, who called him to collect some of the articles.

English noted that he was called out from his home by the alleged ‘Fowl’ to come and collect some ‘items’. He explained that when he got to the house, it had already been broken into, and he took every other thing except the two microwave ovens and the television sets, which ‘Fowl’ had promised to uplift in the morning.

The magistrate, in her sentencing, lectured English that he, bring previously convicted, should have known better. And she expressed hope that the sentence he was getting would rehabilitate him.

lawsuit article - carried in KN on 4/8/2015

RESPONDING to an article published in the Kaieteur News on August 4, 2015 under the headline “Local Chutney star sues Top Cop”, the Guyana Police Force has said Mahendra Ramkellawan was arrested in accordance with the law, and that Kaieteur News has deliberately omitted the state’s response to the lawsuit.

A police press release issued Tuesday sought to highlight the biasness of the Kaieteur News in its publishing of the article.

Mahendra Ramkellawan filed a lawsuit on June 01, 2015, naming as respondents the Commissioner of Police and two other members of the Guyana Police Force, as well as the Attorney General.

The state, on July 27, 2015, filed in response an affidavit which denied the allegations and indicated that the arrest of Mahendra Ramkellawan was in accordance with the law.

Even though the State’s response is a public document, in the same docket as Mahendra Ramkellawan’s claims at the Supreme Court Registry, Kaieteur News has deliberately omitted to indicate the State’s response to the lawsuit, the GPF release indicated.

The Guyanese public should insist on professional journalism from the media houses operating in Guyana, the police release concluded. (Michel Outridge)

Driver of fatal accident car on $1M bail

FIFTY–nine–year–old hire car driver Joel James of 131 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme was placed on $1 million bail when he appeared Tuesday before City Magistrate Ann McLennan to answer a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

James pleaded not guilty to the charge, which alleges that on July 31, on the Houston Access Road and the Meadowbank Road, Greater Georgetown, he drove hire car HA 5086 in a manner dangerous to the

public, thereby causing the death of 82-year-old Daphne Layne of D’Aguiar Park, Greater Georgetown, who was a passenger in the car.

A t t o r n e y - a t - l a w M r.

Clyde Forde, in his application for reasonable bail for James, noted that his client works as a security officer.

He requested the court to consider bail because of his client’s age, which also allegedly negates James being deemed a flight risk.

Forde further revealed that his client’s car was hit by an approaching vehicle and

was pushed into a utility post, resulting in the accident.

However, according to prosecutor Deniro Jones, the defendant was the driver of the said car, HA 5086, and his negligence in proceeding on the access road led him into the path of the other vehicle, causing the collision that resulted in the death of Layne.

The deceased, Jones noted, died from multiple injuries as a result of the said accident.

The prosecutor did not object to bail, which was

granted, and James is scheduled to reappear in court on August 17.

According to reports, on July 31 at about 08:20 hrs, hire car HA 5086 was on the eastern lane in the vicinity of Houston, heading south when it suddenly overtook minibus PMM 3891, registered to the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and being driven by Criswell Williams, who was heading north along the East Bank Demerara Public Road.

The car allegedly turned into the path of the GRA driver, causing a collision which made the bus spin out of control before hitting the hire car, causing it to slam into a metal pole.

Layne, who was in the front seat of the car, along with two other passengers -Christopher Naipaul, 16, and his mother, Amanda Ram, 34 - was rushed to the hospital along with the drivers.

Layne later succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). She had sustained severe lacerations to the face and a broken right leg, while the diver and other passengers received minor cuts and bruises.

Man who raided NIS sports club to serve nine months in jail

TWENTY-eight-year-old Brian Brown of Lot 87 La Penitence Street, Georgetown appeared on Monday before City Magistrate Ann McLennan to answer a charge detailing that he broke into the National Insurance Scheme (N.I.S) sports club and carted off several items of value.

He pleaded guilty to the charge, and was sentenced to 9 months’ imprisonment.

Particulars of the offence detailed that on August 1 at Georgetown, Brown broke into the NIS Sport Club and stole an XL water dispenser valued at $28,000; two one-gallon pails of Torginol water paint, valued at $8,000; and one yard of leatherette, valued at $6,000, booty totalling $42,000 and being property of NIS. The prosecution’s facts are that police on mobile patrol on the day in question saw the defendant with a bulky bag on his back riding a cycle and acting in a suspicious manner.

He was subsequently stopped and searched, and the stolen articles were found in his bag.

Under caution, he admitted to breaking into the sports club, and he took the police to the scene of the crime.

Before sentencing Brown, the magistrate scolded him about his action, lamenting that he should learn not to pick up other people’s belongings.

Mabaruma brothers on boathouse breakage charge

TWO brothers who allegedly broke into a boathouse in Mabaruma and stole a boat with a 200hp engine were Tuesday refused bail when

Thursday August 6th, 2015 - 10:00 hrs Friday August 7th, 2015 - 11:00 hrs Saturday August 8th, 2015 - 12:00 hrs

they appeared before City Magistrate Ann McLennan.

Levi Boyar, 21 and his elder brother Aiden Boyar, 24, both businessmen residing in the Waini village of Region 1, pleaded not guilty to the charge which detailed that, on July 31, at the Regional Boat House in Mabaruma, North West District, they stole a wooden boat and a 200p Yamaha engine totalling $4.2M, property of Jonathan Huston, and that they used personal violence on Huston.

The duo was represented by lawyer Mr. Nigel Hughes, who requested that his clients be released on bail. He stressed that if the matter is transferred to the district court, his clients would have to wait on remand until their case is tried.

Prosecutor Deniro Jones did not relate the facts to the court, but objected to bail on grounds of the gravity of charges and quantum of the loss.

Jones further objected to bail on the ground that both defendants had told the police that they reside at Three Brothers village, giving the court a conflicting address.

T h e y w e re re f u s e d bail, and the matter was transferred to the Mabaruma Magistrates’ court for August 17.

Sugar industry is better off under the Gov’t - Komal Chand

By Navendra Seoraj IN responding to the recent calls for the privatisation of the sugar industry, President of the Guyana Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU), Komal Chand declared that the industry is more assured under the Government of Guyana.

During an interview with the Guyana Chronicle yes-

asset base.

Picking on the notion of the privatisation of the industry, Persaud highlighted that finding a buyer for the troubled GuySuCo is the most viable option for Government.

“In my opinion, if we can find a buyer who’s willing to take on those debts… because you have substantial assets - the land and factories

GAWU’s President, Komal Chand

Yesu Persaud

terday, the head of the union which represents the majority of the sugar workers, said that, “if divested, whether to new owners, will the focus be shifted from sugar for example? It is not certain, but it depends upon the conditions the Government and new owners would agree to.”

This comes after economist and now Chairman of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), Dr. Clive Thomas and veteran businessman Yesu Persaud suggested in sections of the media that the industry should be privatised.

Thomas had disclosed to sections of the media that the call for the privatisation of GuySuCo is probably the most widely recognised but contentious proposal ever put forward for the future of the industry. “This call always evokes intense political controversy,” he said.

“There is an ideological aspect to the privatisation proposal, which provokes this controversy. This is revealed in the axiomatic position taken by those who believe that State enterprises, and more so those based on agriculture activities, could never operate efficiently.

“The call for privatisation, therefore, seeks a drastic reversal of this fundamental commercial heresy, which GuySuCo embodies,” he wrote in one of his columns.

But Thomas believes that GuySuCo can enter private business with the aim of remaining financially viable.

He believes that there are limitless opportunities where it could enter real estate, agricultural tourism and other forms of private enterprise with the use of its strong

etc. - take it over at a price, of course, that has to be negotiated, then I think there could be a future,” Persaud said after a meeting with the members of the Commission of Inquiry into the sugar industry yesterday.

He added that due to the $60B debt being carried by GuySuCo, it is more likely that there would have to be a move towards full privitisation as opposed to divestment and partial privatisation of the state company.

IMPLICATIONS However, Chand pointed out some implications that could follow the privatisation of the industry, stating that one is the fact that it is the absorption of the largest workforce in Guyana.

“Thousands depend on the sugar industry, 16-17 000 of workers are employed in the two harvesting periods, indirectly some others get jobs, suppliers like farmers who supply cane to some of the estates for instance.”

No entity, he contended, can absorb the amount of workers that the sugar industry has; jobs available by contractors might be an option but those are not longterm jobs, they last for temporary periods he said.

“We depend upon the sugar industry, communities get to be saddled with more rates and taxes, it is very much alleviated, and the part that GuySuCo plays is covering the rates and taxes in the sugar communities,” said the GAWU President.

Apart from that, GuySuCo deals with the drainage of those communities and if you risk closing the industry

there could be a lot of social upheavals. “The consequences are very grave,” therefore it is best left in the hands of the Government.

BETTER MANAGEMENT Chand stated that, “to get the industry back on its feet, to make it viable, it will take a few years if we start

Dr. Clive Thomas

- many implications would follow privatisation

in earnest… there must be efficient management, particularly in the cane fields, where there has been neglect, standards have been dropped and good practices have been ignored.”

Going back to practices of the older days would prove beneficial, as the industry’s average production per hectare is merely 55 tonnes per sugar, while some farmers are achieving the minimum 80 tonnes per hectare.

Many farmers he highlighted are achieving this because they are using the correct variety (soil and chemicals), maintaining good practices, proper drainage and control of the weeds.

“It is not any performance GuySuCo is not aware of, since they have

been in existence for over three and a half centuries, therefore, we ought to go back to the best practices… there has been neglect, inefficiency by management, whereby top managers are unware of the conditions in the field and they need to go back to how it was, go back to the fields to better analyse the situations,” he said.

ASSESSMENTS Managers have to do their own assessments, have perimeters set and have targets based on those conditions. Do not wait until a long time, every week they could know what their end results are through Tonne of Cane per Tonne of Sugar (TCTS) and through the

analysis of the sugar extracts.

The research department ought to be developed so that there could be a new cane variety to suit the changing weather conditions, while they should also move towards keeping factories in good order by having the basic spares readily available, in turn reducing downtimes; which has to do with repairing the factory while the crop is on. So this is a method of avoiding non-production during this time.

These, he noted, were some of the issues that were presented to the ongoing commission of inquiry into the industry, so there is still hope for the industry under the Government once the necessary issues are tackled in the right way.

A colourful funeral for ‘Auntie Barbara’

By Clifford Stanley

SHORTLY before her death, Mrs Barbara Elizabeth Beharry, wife of Chico Beharry, Co-Chairman of the pioneering business company Edward Beharry and Sons, made a final wish.

She wished that all those who would attend her funeral should wear bright colours.

She got her wish yesterday.

At her funeral, at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Brickdam, officiating priest Fr John Persaud was forced to remark, “What a colourful funeral. This is the first time in memory that I have seen all these bright colours at a funeral. It is like she wanted to say to us ‘Celebrate my life; don’t cry’.”

The funeral yesterday of a matriarch of descendants of the iconic Edward B Beharry and Sons company was attended by a large cross section of persons, including several Ministers of Government.

Ministers included Minister of Governance, Mr Raphael Trotman; Minister of Education, Dr Rupert Roopnarine; Minister of Tourism, Mrs Cathy Hughes; and Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan.

During the hour long ceremony Mrs Beharry, who was also known as “Auntie Barbara” was eulogised as a loving person to family, to relatives and friends, and a person with a very lively sense of humour.

Barbara Elizabeth Beharry was the daughter of the late Frank and Mabel Stevenson.

The Beharry family, into which she married, had established the well known Edward B Beharry and Sons in 1937.

At the funeral of the late Barbara Elizabeth Beharry

It began as an importer, wholesaler and retailer of food products and incorporated several agencies into its line of items.

The family-owned business subsequently made “Chico” bubble gum and “Indi” , a household name, and in 2005 achieved ISO: 9001:2000 certification for its Confectionery Products.

It also established numerous other aspects of business, including banking in the form of the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) Following the colourful funeral, the remains of the late Mrs Barbara Elizabeth Beharry were cremated at the Memorial Gardens Crematorium in Le Repentir.

Gov’t clears Fowler for UN women police workshop THE Guyana Government has given the green light for woman Superintendent of Police Desiree Fowler to participate in the United Nations Workshop and Annual Training Conference of the International Association of Women Police being held in the UK. Superintendent Fowler is expected along with several other female police ranks to travel to the UK for the conference which will be held from August 21 to 27.

The announcement was made yesterday by Minister of Governance Raphael Trotman while he was chairing the post-cabinet press briefing at the Ministry of the Presidency.

Over the years the Guyana Police Force has been participating in the conference and Guyana’s delegations were headed in the past by now Senior Superintendent of Police Maxine Graham.

It was only on Tuesday that Superintendent Fowler assumed the role of acting Deputy Commander of the police ‘A’ Division, which was reported by this publication.

Fowler has since been receiving congratulatory messages and calls over social media and via her office line on the acting promotion.

The Superintendent of Police was expected to act in the position for a month but now that she was cleared to travel out of the country the Division will now have to look within its ranks to put another individual to hold the post, until the substantive Deputy Commander Dion Moore returns from holding the Traffic Chief portfolio as the senior officer at that post is on annual leave.

Cuffy 250 Committee to hold forum on state of African-Guyanese - on August 9 at Critchlow Labour College

THE Cuffy 250 Committee, an organisation formed two years ago with the objective of encouraging socio-economic and cultural revitalisation within the African-Guyanese community, and generally fostering ethnic and racial equality in Guyana, will be hosting its third annual “State of African-Guyanese Forum” on Sunday, August 9, at the Critchlow Labour College on Woolford Avenue.

The theme for this year’s forum will focus on Guyana’s Renaissance: The 50th Anniversary of our Independence and positioning of the African Guyanese, and will be addressing the issue of ethnic equality in Guyana.

At a press conference yesterday, executive members of the Cuffy 250 Committee, Mr. Vincent Alexander and Dr. David Hinds, said they believe that the groundwork of the Ministry of Social Cohesion would have been laid if they address the problems faced by Afro-Guyanese and those of other groups at the regional level.

Speakers of the forum will include distinguished persons such as Nigel Hughes, Vincent Alexander, Dr. David Hinds and Fiah Rose of the African- American Civil Rights Movement.

This organisation is of the view that the Guyanese population will go nowhere if it is not grounded in

Members of Cuffy 250, Vincent Alexander, Comica Johnson and Dr. David Hinds ethnic and racial equality, especially at the political and economic levels, and mutual respect at the cultural level.

The Cuffy 250 Committee members are dedicated to the reversal of ethnic domination of all kinds

and from all quarters. Part of their mission is to encourage self-empowerment and self-respect among African-Guyanese as a prerequisite for respecting all races and as a defense against domination. (Sherah Alleyne)

'Zion' gets three years for robbing salesgirl at knifepoint

By Jeune Vankeric ANTHONY Persaud, alias Zion, of Number 79 Village, Corriverton, was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery-under-arms.

Particulars of the offence are that on July 6, at Springlands Coriverton, being armed with an offensive weapon, to wit a knife, he robbed Ranie Pirtam of two gold rings, a laptop, two cellular phones, and cash totalling $394,000.

Police Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, prosecuting, said that on the day in question, at about 10:45 hrs, the defendant went into the T.Town Store, where he enquired about sheets and towels.

The virtual complainant, a sales clerk, was alone at the business place, and she unsuspectingly took the man to the back of the store to show him the articles.

However, when he got there, he whipped out a knife from his pants waist, placed the weapon to her neck, and demanded that she Anthony Persaud remove her pieces of jewelry.

Thereafter, he locked her in the washroom before stealing the two cellular phones and the laptop, and the cash from the cash register.

The salesgirl managed to raise an alarm, and concerned citizens came to her rescue and raced after the suspect, who dropped the booty.

He was later arrested and charged.

GCB mourns Ronald Legall’s death

THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) mourns the loss of Ronald Legall who passed away on August 3, at the age of 72 due to a terminal illness.

The GCB, in a release, said that Legall was not a stranger to the cricket fraternity since he was one of the persons one would approach for accurate cricket records; something he took pride in compiling.

“His contribution to cricket in Guyana was instrumental and will always be remembered. He was a dedicated cricket scorer for the radio during regional and international tourna-

Former WICB president Peter Short dies BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) - Former president of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Captain Peter Short, has passed away, according to media reports in Barbados.

Short, who also served as WICB’s representative on the International Cricket Council (ICC), died early Tuesday Peter Short morning at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after a lengthy illness. He was 89.

A former president of the Barbados Cricket Association, Short has been described as the longest-serving and arguably the best known chief administrator of cricket in Barbados.

Short, who was born in Trinidad and was married to a Barbadian, is a former captain of Barbados Division One champions Wonderers.

He was also a cricket commentator from 1957 until 1979, covering every first-class and Test match at Kensington Oval.

Short considered himself fortunate to have managed West Indies cricket with the minimum of criticism, given the controversy that has dogged successive WICB administrations.

Legall will be remembered as courteous, helpful, humorous and a pleasant person, always trying to cheer others. He was also very devoted and passionate about his work.

During his years as a book scorer and statistician, he tried to get others on board with him; especially the youths. He even made himself available to train them.

The GCB offers warmest condolences to his family, relatives and friends.

Junior men’s hockey team continue winning streak in Trinidad THE NATIONAL junior men’s hockey team continued their good showing at the Players Tournament, in Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday with a 2-0 win against a Trinidad and Tobago national Under-21 training squad.

According to reports from Trinidad, the Guyanese, who were fresh off their late comeback against Trinidad’s National Under-21 team on Monday evening, took on an Under-21 training squad selection and chose to rest two of their senior national players in Aroydy Branford and Andrew Stewart.

This meant that Guyana’s young brigade would have to step up. The youngsters had struggled to maintain possession in midfield and wasted several goal-scoring opportunities in the first quarter which ended scoreless.

In the second quarter Guyana goalkeeper Medroy Scotland made a vital reflex save to prevent his side from conceding the first goal for the fourth time in five games.

That close call seemed to trigger a sense of urgency in the Guyanese and they increased their work rate which forced the Trinidadians into making several mistakes.

In the final minute of the second quarter, some high pressure on the Trinidadian central defender by forward Keon McKenzie forced him into a wayward pass which was intercepted by Rosario Ramsammy and the counterattack was on.

Ramsammy sprinted towards the goal and played a through pass to McKenzie, whose initial shot was well saved only for rebound to be put in by Ramsammy.

KEEN rivalry is expected on Saturday when Guyana’s leading cyclists engage one another at the 12th annual Seven Seas 11-race programme around the inner circuit of the National Park.

The day’s activity, which pedals off at 09:00hrs, is being coordinated by National cycle coach Hassan Mohamed and will cater to all categories of riders.

The BMX riders will take centre stage in the 6-9, 9-12,

Keon McKenzie Guyana started the second half with a stifling full court press and the tactic paid off just three minutes into the quarter when Keon McKenzie intercepted a pass from a Trinidadian free hit then laid off to Deheron Wilkinson before completing the return pass.

Despite several more goal-scoring opportunities the score remained 2-0 until full time.

Guyana now face the tournament leaders, Malvern Sports Club, who defeated them 5-3 on the opening night, before completing the round-robin phase of the tournament today against Queen’s Park.

The tournament is being used by the Guyanese to prepare for the Pan American junior championships, set for next year in Toronto, Canada.

Local Instructors/Assessors return from FIFA Futuro 111 Course in Jamaica

(L-R) Abdullah Hamid, Stanley Lancaster, Fernando Tresaco - FIFA referee development senior manager, and Trevor Beckles.

Keen rivalry expected for Saturday’s 12th annual Seven Seas cycle programme

LOCAL FIFA Instructors/ Assessors Stanley Lancaster, Abdullah Hamid and Trevor Beckles returned yesterday from participating at the FIFA Futuro 111 Course in Montego Bay, Jamaica for officials in the CONCACAF Region.

The Course which ran from July 28 to August 2, allowed for the sport’s governing body to be updated on the progress of the officials from their member-associations within CONCACAF and also to go through the amended laws as well as to plan the way forward, catering for the expansion of referees in the regions.

According to Lancaster, there were no adjustments to the laws of the game, but an inclusion of ‘Return Substitution’ and the use of Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems (EPTS).

The ‘Return Substitution’ rule, which also caters to an unlimited amount of substitution, is only applicable and permitted in the lowest levels (grassroots and recreational) of football,

subject to the agreement of the member associations concerned.

Lancaster, who also holds the portfolio of being Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) Head of Refereeing Department, said that the plan now is to host a similar course locally, to bring the Guyanese referees and local instructors/ assessors abreast with the laws of the game. This, he said, will be done later this month.

Defending champion Mario King 12-14 and Open divisions, and the likes of Alexander Leung, Christopher Goring, Thuran Garbarran and Esau Jaisingh are among the riders to watch.

The Juniors/Juveniles and Mountain Bikers, as well as the Veterans Under- and Over-50, and the Over-60 will set the stage for the grand showdown in the feature 35-lap School Boys and Invitational, which usually attracts the ‘big boys’ of local cycling.

Last year’s main race was won by the young Mario King, who clocked a record one hour 13 minutes 45.29 seconds, the fastest time ever for the 35-lap race in the Park.

Raynauth Jeffrey finished a close second, followed

by Raymond Newton, Hamzah Eastman, Alanzo Greaves and Christopher Holder.

Softball action set for tomorrow

SOFTBALL fans will be in for a treat tomorrow when the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) hosts a Trinidadian team for an exhibition game.

The GFSCA will collide with the visiting Paradise Sports and Cultural Organisation from Chaguanas, Trinidad, in a feature 20/20 ‘hardball’ game at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ground, Queenstown from 18:00hrs.

The versatile men from Floodlights, Guyana Softball Cup 4 and 2015 New York Independence Cup champions, will don pads, batting gloves, helmets as they switch to hardball.

Paradise Sports were first hosted in 1972 by the-then famous Ogle Cricket Club and followed up that inaugural tour with several others up to the mid-80s where they played various clubs on the East Coast.

Some members from that 1972 trip will be in attendance at DCC tomorrow.

The Guyana team reads: Ricky Deonarain (captain), Reyaz Husein, Wayne Jones, Uniss Yusuf, Khalid Baksh, Richard Persaud, Dharam Persaud, Aravinda Gainda, Romeo Deonarain, Steve Narine, Rahaman Khan, Surendra Nauth, Rakesh Goverdhan with Rohan Boj-Raj - manager .

Admission is free.

Last Saturday, Greaves won the 7th round of the Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup in Prospect Park, New York while Greaves won an exciting sprint finish ahead of fellow Guyanese Jermaine Burrowes (WS United) and Gavriel Epstein of Champion System-Stan’s NoTubes.

This is the second victory by a Guyanese in the Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup Series. The other winner was Hamzah Eastman who won the fifth round in June.

Meanwhile, Romello Crawford (Trojan Cycle Club), Jamal John (Team Coco’s), Andrew Hicks (Trojan Cycle Club) and Raphael Leung (WS United) will be looking

to emulate their senior counterparts when they travel to the Dominican Republic to contest the 2015 edition of the Caribbean Junior Cycling Championships set for August 7-9.

The four cyclists, who were selected by the newly installed executive of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF), are experienced and will be seeking to bring glory to this nation.

The selectees have all been doing well for the past 12 months and are looking forward to doing well for Guyana.

Both Hicks and Leung made their debuts as juveniles last year in Suriname and are looking forward to riding in the junior category this year.

The lone medal Guyana got last year was a bronze in the Road Race from Alonzo Ambrose in his final year.

Businesses and individuals, who are interested in contributing towards the cyclists’ participation, can make contact with GCF president Horace Burrowes on email prince3023@aol.com or secretary Ms. Maria Leung on tel. 676 5940 or email mariaaleung@gmail.com.

DCC proud of Imlach

Tevin Imlach

MANY players are often given the chance to showcase their talents but don’t make full use of the opportunity; but that is not the case with cricketer Tevin Imlach, who was recently selected by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for an under-19 encampment, ahead of the ICC Youth World Cup next year in Bangladesh.

Imlach, a wicketkeeper/opening batsman from the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) was one of four Guyanese (Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul and Akshaya Persaud) selected to attend the two-week camp in Kingston, Jamaica, after the recently concluded U-19 tournament there.

President of DCC, Alfred Mentore, speaking to Chronicle Sport, said that Imlach’s hard work in the sport is beginning to pay off, adding “I’m very elated that he was selected to represent at a higher office. He has

always been a hard worker and he has come through the ranks of the Under-15, inter-county, Under-17 and now Under-19” Imlach joins Kacey Carty, Jaeel Clarke, Shahid Crooks, Michael Frew, Jyd Goolie, Keon Harding, Ryan John, Alzarri Joseph, Kirstan Kallicharran, Obed McCoy, Gidron Pope, Akil Seetal, Keagan Simmons, Odean Smith, Shamar Springer at the training camp which runs through August 17 at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies as well as the Kensington Recreation Park nestled in Rollington Town.

The training sessions will be conducted under the guidance of West Indies High Performance coaches Graeme West and Vasbert Drakes.

Deokie sounds Group 1 warning WITH the time counting down to the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) Race of Champions, Group 1 driver Daniel Deokie is looking at retaining his 2014 title.

Speaking to Chronicle Sport, the driver indicated that he expects lots of challenges on Sunday (August 9) “I’m looking forward for the challenges while defending my championship on the August 9. I’m fit, pumped and ready to rumble, come Sunday at the South Dakota racing circuit.”

He indicated that Group 1 is expected to bring much flair with the competition already heating up.

According to Deokie, “In this group every competitor is a threat because all the cars are equally matched with power.

With that said there are a few guys that are consistent podium finishers, guys like my fellow ER Racing teammate Azaad Hassan and others like Shameer Mohamed, Nazim Gafoor, Team Fullworks etc” The National Race of Champions, set for South Dakota Circuit, will be sponsored by South Land International through the Carlsberg brand, the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), Fly Jamaica, Rent-a-Tent and Ganesh Parts.

Was fraud committed to make a player a citizen?

By Robertson S. Henry

Playing Field and in the return leg on June 14 2015 at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence,.

However, proof of his Vincentian citizenship is a stamp of the Immigration Office of St Vincent and the Grenadines in the British passport.

IN responding to the protest filed by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) over the playing of Garvin James by the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation on June 14 2015 at the Guyana National Stadium, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) Disciplinary Committee ruled that “after careful examination of all the requested information and documentation, it was considered that no further intervention was necessary in such context.”

The GFF on June 16 had requested FIFA’s investigation and adjudication on a possible violation of the FIFA rules by the SVGFF for fielding a player not in possession of a St Vincent & the Grenadines passport during the World Cup Qualification match on June 14, 2015 at the Guyana National Stadium.

Investigations by www. sportcaraibe.com revealed that Garvin James is the holder of British passport number 523204951.

He is eligible to represent St Vincent and the Grenadines as per FIFA Statutes, but according to the Regulations governing the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, to do such, James would have to be the holder of a Vincentian passport.

It was also revealed that he played against Guyana using a British passport on June 10, St Vincent and the Grenadines Captain Darren Hamlet, battling 2015 in St. Vincent and the Guyana’s Brandon Beresford for the ball during their 2018 World Grenadines at the Arnos Vale Cup Qualifier at Providence. (Samuel Maughn photo)

But, according to an official of the Director of Public Prosecution Office, It is not legal for the immigration stamp of St Vincent and the Grenadines to be used in a British passport, indicating that Garvin James, holder of British passport number 523204951 is a citizen of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The official added that proof of citizenship is a passport of St Vincent and the Grenadines, and if someone uses the stamp of the Immigration Office of St Vincent and the Grenadines on the British passport, then that person has committed a serious offence.

No word has been forthcoming from the British High Commission in Barbados on the issue, but sources very knowledgeable of the issue and immigration protocols, have told sportcaraibe.com that there could be serious repercussions for St Vincent and the Grenadines.

The source quickly pointed out that the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation could have gotten a Vincentian passport for Garvin James within 48 hours.

“Something is wrong and someone is not telling the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines the truth. Yes, it is to the country’s pride to reach as far as possible in qualifying, but to do so at the cost of the immigration department’s integrity and that of the nation as a whole is not a price we should pay,” The source said.

“There ought to be an investigation and disciplinary action taken. Additionally if there was some underhand activity in having the British passport stamped with a Vincentian immigration stamp to show the player is a Vincentian citizen; that is wrong, it is illegal and persons should be made to resign from office immediately, the source added.”

Editor’s note: Robertson S. Henry is a Saint Lucian sports journalist and photographer currently residing in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Having started his career with the Crusader Newspaper in 1994, Henry has grown into becoming one whose focus is the promotion and marketing of the Caribbean sporting talent.

Over the years he has been awarded many times by the Government of Saint Lucia for his work in sports journalism.

World Squash Juniors was a learning experience GUYANA’S four-member team to the World Squash Federation (WSF) world junior championships was part of a learning curve aimed directly at boosting the level of squash locally, says Guyana Squash Association (GSA) president David Fernandes.

Guyana finished 17th at the 19-team tournament in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Against Zimbabwe who were also on their second outing, Akeila Wiltshire outclassed Carley Barton 11-1, 11-4, 11-2, while Gabrielle Fraser defeated Kuzivakwashe Madungwe 11-1, 11-2, 11-3.

In the other match-up against the Zimbabweans, Larissa Wiltshire got past Shannon O’Donovan 11-4, 11-1, 11-0, to help Guyana to a reputable placing at the marquee junior squash tournament. Taylor Fernandes was the other member of Team Guyana.

Fernandes, according to the GSA website, said that though the team did not produce the top results, there were still positives for Guyana.

“Last time we played was in 2011 in Boston, so it’s good

– Fernandes

to be back. It’s been good to see the girls improve as the tournament progressed; they were very nervous at the start but grew in confidence match by match. They played well against some strong teams like Germany and South Africa and could have won some of those games,” GSA boss said.

He (Fernandes) indicated that Guyana’s performance at the games has been a major confidence-booster, adding “It shows all the young players in Guyana and the Caribbean that the opportunity is there to play the best in the world, and to enjoy it.”

The competition wrapped up last Tuesday with Egypt emerging as champions; winning their fifth title and the United States coming in as runners-up.

Guyana were the only team from the South American and Caribbean Region, that featured the likes of Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong China, India, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa and Switzerland.
