President lays responsibility for delayed AML/CFT Bill at Opposition’s door - says APNU, AFC ‘determined’ to harm welfare of Guyanese
By Vanessa Narine A RECENT meeting between the leader of the main Opposition, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, and President Donald Ramotar, did not address the critically important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill. At a news conference last Friday, the Head of State said, “What we are facing is largely because we have not passed the Anti-Money Laundering Bill…the Opposition continues its determination to put our people in harm’s way, to damage the welfare
of our people.” The Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) draft report on Guyana’s compliance with international standards, relative to its anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism framework, will be completed before the end of the month. In a letter dated July 9, 2014, FATF officially confirmed its decision to commence a targeted review of Guyana prior to its October 2014 plenary meeting; and the international watchdog body made it clear that the purpose of that targeted review would be to examine the most significant deficiencies in Guyana’s AML/
CFT framework that pose a risk to the international financial system.The letter also indicated that Guyana would be given an opportunity to review the draft targeted review, and to have a face-to-face meeting with the Americas Regional Review Group (ARRG), which is expected to happen some time in September. The President maintains that the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), seem determined to have Guyana blacklisted. “They seem determined to get the country blacklisted. This is a very unpatriotic position to take,” he said. WORK CONTINUES Despite this, Mr. Ramotar highlighted that work in areas where the passage of legisla-
tion is not required, continues apace. He said, “We have been working to do what we can…
President Donald Ramotar we are putting in place all the measures that do not require legislation.” According to him, a work plan has been developed and to date, guidelines and regulations have been issued to assist in the improvement of Guyana’s anti-money laundering and countering the
financing of terrorism framework. The Head of State said, “We have developed a workplan taking into account the unpredictable role, or should I say predicable role of the Parliament, or the obstructionist role they have taken in this regard. In carrying out this plan we have issued guidelines and are developing regulations to deal administratively with many of the matters we could not get addressed.” Mr. Ramotar added that efforts have also been advanced relative to the establishment of the operational arm of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU). “We have moved to establish the operational arm of the FIU, the SOCU…a building for SOCU has been identified,” he said.
Teixeira had indicated that a meeting is scheduled for October 10, but it remains to be seen whether or not the combined Opposition members on the committee will attend. “Attempts were made to narrow any kind of position to come up with a CFATF and FATF compliant Bill… those efforts were rejected,” the President said. The last suggested dates for meetings of the Committee were July 8, 10 and 30, all three of which were rejected on the basis on the unavailability of opposition members sitting on the committee. Until the Committee meets the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill will remain in limbo. FATF has said that its review will identify steps that should be taken to address those deficiencies through the development of an action plan.The interna-
“We are working very hard to stave off blacklisting of our country and save our people from hardship….we are working extremely hard…we hope we will be able to avoid blacklisting.” – President Donald Ramotar SOCU was set up in response to a recommendation from the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) for Guyana to intensify its investigations and prosecutions of money- laundering offences. Last Wednesday, Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon, disclosed that Cabinet gave its no-objection to a $63.1M contract for the work on SOCU’s building. Additionally, the President expressed his appreciation to Guyana’s foreign partners for their support in ensuring that Guyana takes the measures it has to in order to remain compliant with international standards. NO MEETINGS Mr. Ramotar also addressed the issue of the non-convening of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee reviewing the AML/ CFT (Amendment) Bill. The Committee has not met since June. The last notice from the Chairperson of the Committee, Ms. Gail
tional watchdog’s letter had said: “This review will be conducted by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), Americas Regional Review Group (ARRG), co-chaired by Ms. Darlene Boileau (Canada) and Ms. Maria Fernanda Garcia-Yrigoyen Maúrtua (Peru). In our capacity as ICRG Co-Chairs, we now request your full cooperation in assisting the ARRG to conduct this work, including by providing upto-date information on your jurisdiction related to AML and CFT issues, as requested by the ARRG co-chairs.” “We are working very hard to stave off blacklisting of our country and save our people from hardship….we are working extremely hard…we hope we will be able to avoid blacklisting,” the Head of State stressed. At its next meeting, between October 20/24, 2014 in Paris, France, the FATF is expected to discuss the results of Guyana’s targeted review.

At official launch of Amerindian Heritage Month:
Ramotar delivers plea for preservation of indigenous languages By Leroy Smith HEAD of State President Donald Ramotar last evening said that besides the many praiseworthy Amerindian achievements and development,there is also their culture. The President, while addressing the traditional Amerindian Heritage Month opening at the Amerindian Village in the Sophia Exhibition Complex, said that very important to the heritage of Amerindian peoples are their languages. According to President Ramotar, the Government of Guyana has always supported the preservation of indigenous languages. The President asserted that, another important Amerindian contribution to the work the Government has done with the Amerindian peoples is the compiling and publishing of a dictionary of Amerindian words and languages.This was done in collaboration with international groups. There was also the promotion and development of the Arawak language with Arawaks in Suriname and other neighbouring countries, the head of state told the gathering. Mr Ramotar did not fail to mention the move by the Government of Guyana to launch the Amerindian language revival programme. That programme however was not supported in the 2014 National Budget by the combined Opposition in Parliament, thus forcing the abandonment of the programme. The initiative, Ramotar assured the audience, would have been expanded to Region 2 and other villages. Meanwhile, Amerindian Affairs Minister Pauline Sukhai, who also addressed the gathering before the President did, spoke briefly about the importance preserving the languages of the indigenous peoples of Guyana. The minister said that there is now greater awareness of how tremendous and attractive the cultures
of Amerindian peoples are; and this must now be translated into willingness to proactively engage in waves of cultural enhancement in each of their lives. Again on the issue of the languages, she singled out Arawak and Warraus as the two most threatened with extinction, and urged all that necessary measures be taken to preserve the languages. Minister Sukhai made it clear that the loss of languages affects the individual identity of Amerindians and by extension, damages the community extensively. She pointed to villagers losing their sense of identity and connections with their communities and cultures. She added that if Guyana does not do what is necessary to preserve the indigenous languages, all persons at some point in the future will realise what a disservice has been done to the Amerindian peoples and the nation as a whole. She added that the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs will remain steadfast and stand by the policies, programmes and projects which seek to benefit the Amerindian peoples with the purpose of enhancing the conditions of Amerindians and advancing their cultures. The Minister also added that the loss of land also contributes to the erosion of Amerindian cultures and their traditions along with their way of life. She said that Amerindians in Guyana are in the strongest position for the protection and advancement of their cultures. Yesterday evening also, President Donald Ramotar did make reference to the work and achievements of Ministers Rodrigues and Sukhai, who are serving members of the Cabinet of Ministers and who are also serving in the National Assembly, as two intelligent Amerindian women Ramotar said that the launching of the Amerindian Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the achieve-
President Donald Ramotar and Amerindian Affairs Minister Pauline Sukhai
ments of Amerindians and there has been truly much to celebrate about Amerindians over the last two decades during colonial rule and a period of undemocratic rule. Among the benefits the Amerindian persons have been enjoying under the present government include: the construction of schools with living accommodation; the facilitation of housing development; legislation to protect Amerindians and their properties,as well as veto power to allow small and medium-scale mining in their respective communities. Amerindian Heritage Month 2014 is being celebrated under the theme: “Traditional Embodiment for Amerindian Development.� Yesterday’s launch also saw cultural performances and Amerindian foods and beverages, which went on sale from yesterday. Upon his arrival President Donald Ramotar was saluted by an Amerindian Guard of Honour, as Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and several other Government Ministers and members of the Diplomatic Corps graced the occasion with their presence.

Funerals, ghost towns and haunted health workers - this is life in the Ebola zone By Lilian Leposo and Nima Elbagir
Z a n g o To w n , L i b e r i a (CNN) -- At the gravesite in a northern Liberia village, there are no religious or traditional burial rites. No ceremony, no mourning, no family members, and no final goodbyes. Nothing but a group of men dressed in space-suitlike outfits, cautiously throwing the dead body into the grave, they pause only to toss in anything else they are wearing that came into contact with the deceased. These men are part of the country’s Ebola response team, specifically tasked with burying anyone suspected to have died of the Ebola virus. The virus is spread through contact with the blood and body fluids of people infected with Ebola, and it is still transferable even from a dead body. To help combat the spread of the disease, the Liberian government has directed that its citizens should not bury anyone who dies of, or is suspected of having been infected with, Ebola. For months Liberians ignored the directive, fearing that they would be ostracized by their communities if they admitted that their relatives had died of Ebola, but here
‘EBOLA OUTBREAK IN AFRICA’: Members of Doctors Without Borders carry a dead body
in Lofa County -- ground zero of the country’s outbreak -- almost everyone has witnessed the devastating suffering and numerous deaths caused by the virus. Now almost anytime there is a suspected Ebola death in the community, they call in the Ebola response team to come and bury the body safely. SAFE BURIALS “When it started, it wasn’t that easy,” says Alpha Tamba, an Ebola response coordinator in Lofa County, Liberia. “It was kind of difficult for communities to disclose death. People preferred driving us away.” “We must be grateful for the communities, through the efforts of the local leaders. Now they are disclosing death to us,” he explains. Yesterday, the team has been called to a village where
a woman has died of unknown causes. It may not have been from the deadly virus, but the villagers are not taking any chances.
the empty houses belong to people who either died of Ebola or those who fled in terror, for fear of contracting the virus. Johnson says he lost his 8-months-pregnant sister, his brother, niece and many, many others: too many to name. “They died. They died,” he says. “So many people die -- the houses on your right and even the houses on your left. They are all gone,” says Johnson. It’s hard to imagine another area in Lofa county that has been harder hit than

securing the edges with clear tape at the wrists. Before they enter the house to collect the body, one of them goes in and sprays the house with bleach. Then -- and only then -- can the rest of the team enter to place the body in an airtight polythene bag, ready for burial. Wailing rents the air as the burial team walks out of the house carrying the body on a stretcher. Some of those crying are the dead woman’s family members; for their own safety, they can only mourn from a distance.

TOWN ABANDONED A few kilometres away from the village is Zango Town: most of the houses there have been abandoned, their doors padlocked and windows shuttered. Some of the residents abandoned the town in such a hurry that their clothes and floor mats have been left hanging on clotheslines. Kazalee Johnson, a community worker, tells CNN

this one. But then there’s Barkedu Town -- of the 1,000 or so Ebola-related deaths in Liberia, 20% of the victims have died in this single town. QUARANTINE ZONE Home to more than 8,000 people, Barkedu is now under quarantine: no one can go in, and no one can go out. The toll of the isolation is weighing heavily on the

community. “From the time we started receiving death from Ebola -- every activity cease,” says Musa Sessay, the town’s chief. “Because we do farm here and now there’s been no farming.” EBOLA NIGHTMARES One of the local clinics had to be locked up after all the healthcare workers based there contracted the virus. Only one survived. “It is very heartbreaking. You are working for the team at the front and you see them lying down. Day by day, they are dying,” says Tamba, who admits the harrowing work he does has caused him nightmares. “Sometimes we go to bed and we dream of nothing else but Ebola, Ebola, Ebola -- nothing else,” he explains. “Several times I dream I become infected, I see myself in the case management center.” But he says that amid all the bad news, he is beginning to hear happier tidings: an increasing number of Ebola survivors, people who initially tested positive for the virus but -- because they reported it early and because of the medical teams’ efforts -- later recovered. These positive outcomes keep Tamba hopeful as he and other health workers continue to tirelessly explain to the community how to prevent infection. “It is difficult to stand in front of Ebola, but this is the situation we have,” he says. “We must do everything we can to kick Ebola out of our country. “Staying at home or running away from Ebola is not a solution, so we have to face it. We have to fight it. To get it to zero.”

Suriname leader’s son confesses to ‘US attack plot’ countryman remains in T&T prison
(Trinidad Guardian) THE son of the president of Suriname has confessed to attempting to facilitate Lebanese terrorism group Hezbollah to establish a South American outpost. While Dino Bouterse waits on his sentencing hearing carded for January next year, his countryman Edward Muntslag, with whom he was jointly charged for conspiring to smuggle 10 kilos of cocaine into the United States, remains detained in T&T pending extradition. According to several international reports on a hearing in a United States Federal court last Friday, Bouterse pleaded guilty to the joint
Dino Bouterse, left, and Edward Muntslag drug trafficking indictment in addition to the terrorism charges. Bouterse was extradited to the US last year after he
was arrested in Panama in relation to the cocaine trafficking which is alleged to have taken place between 2011 and August,
Dana’s family appreciative of award (Trinidad Express) RELATIVES of Dana Seetahal said they were appreciative of the national award of the Chaconia Medal (Gold), which was to be bestowed on the deceased senior counsel, but they were “simply unable” to attend yesterday’s ceremony. This was revealed in a message by Seetahal’s niece Danielle Francois, sent via Twitter Sunday morning. In the message, Francois noted that any statement that the family is “blanking” or “boycotting” the national awards was a distortion of facts and the truth was that they were simply unable to attend the event. “The family remains appreciative of the award bestowed, we are simply unable to attend the event, however, we will be accepting the event at a later date,” Francois said. Her message added: “The call was made yesterday to Ms Susan Francois, who expressed appreciation on behalf of our family and apologised given the family’s inability to come sign for the award due to the time constraints, but indicated that we would be available on a later date. “We were only informed that Dana Seetahal would
Dana Seetahal be honoured with a National Award, but were not informed of what the award would be. Concurrently, we
were aware that the nomination submitted by the powerful ladies of Trinidad and Tobago was for the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, (and) the assumption was that this nomination had been successful. “In that context, when members of the media called and told Susan Francois she would not be receiving the highest award, she of course expressed her disappointment. The family remains appreciative of any award bestowed on our beloved aunt and sister,” the message concluded.
last year. He was later slapped with the terrorism charges which emanated from meetings in Greece and Panama with undercover US agents, posing as representatives of the militant organisation. During Friday’s hearing, Bouterse admitted to agreeing to take US$2 million to provide Hezbollah operatives with fake identities, weapons including surface to air missiles and locations in his country to establish bases to attack US and Dutch targets. As part of the deal, Bouterse also asked that some of the operatives perform “tough guy” duties within Suriname on his request. Bouterse’s father Desi ruled Suriname as a military dictator from 1980 to 1987 and returned to power when he was elected by that country’s Parliament in 2010. He has since expressed shock
over his son’s arrest and has said he was “responsible for his own actions”. According to the drugs charge both Bouterse and Muntslag were accused of participating in the transportation of a suitcase with the drugs from Suriname to an unnamed Caribbean island aboard a commercial flight in July, last year. A month later, Muntslag, a 30-yearold businessman, was arrested by officers of the Organised Crime, Narcotics and Firearms Bureau (OCNFB) while shopping at Trincity Mall. During his first hearing before Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar, Muntslag applied for bail, however his request was refused and since then he has remained detained at the Maximum Security Prison in Arouca. His extradition proceedings have reached an ad-
vanced stage with a hearing in the Port-of-Spain Magistrates’ Court scheduled for tomorrow. Muntslag is challenging his extradition on the grounds that documents sent by US authorities to the Office of the Attorney General had not been properly authenticated. Permanent secretary in the ministry, Marlene Juman has testified to clarify the issue. Attorneys representing the Central Authority and the requesting state are expected to call the police officer who arrested Muntslag on August 29, last year, as their latest witness before making final legal submissions. Muntslag is being represented by Keith Scotland and Asha Watkins-Montserin. Jagdeo Singh and Central Authority head Netram Kowlessar are representing the US interest in the case.

Each nation needs a homeland! WOULD a father, moreso a father who was the staunchest adherent to the Father Most High, ever have denied any of his children a home? For those who are fostering hatred and perpetuating conflict among the children of Abraham, they will certainly face the dire wrath of other fathers. The stark images of starving, wounded, dead and dying babies should tear at the heartstrings of any humane, merciful person; but even if this happens, policies that dictate programmes and actions create irrelevancies of the doctrines of mercy, tolerance and compassion. When the Jews were hounded out of their homes in Europe and denied a piece of earth to call home, they purchased, with whatever wealth remained to them after the depredations of the world (the upliftment of which they had contributed to immensely in myriad ways over the
centuries), lands that they believed were promised to them in the book of their faith by the Lord of their faith. This dispossessed people did not wage war to acquire these lands, mainly swamp and desert lands; they purchased parcels of vast acreages from Arab landowners, and issued an open invitation to oppressed members of their community the world over, then ran the British blockades in patched-up vessels that traversed the oceans to bring members of their community to the land that they named Israel. This movement rivalled the Exodus of Biblical fame. Leon Uris’ moving book of the same name depicts the story of the Jewish people’s Herculean struggles to reconstruct their Biblical homeland from the Negev Desert and barren lands. They piped water into the Negev, and through clever architectural landscaping, they created thriving farms
out of the swamp and desert lands that no-one really wanted, and established communes, where everyone worked as a collective for the common good, using their immense expertise and brilliance to rise above their circumstances. And they co-existed peacefully with neighbouring Arab villages, sharing their water and development procedures to restructure the lives and lifestyles of a people who had long been neglected and exploited by their own leaders. But this harmonious co-existence was not acceptable to the warmongers, who instigated members of Palestinian villages to initiate murderous sorties into the Israeli communes, which led to the Six-Day War, and the consequential dislocation of Palestinians from their own homes, and which was the genesis of the present-day hatred and distrust between Palestinians and Israelis, and the homelessness of Palestinians.
Palestinians who live within Israel’s borders are said to enjoy the same quality of life as the Israelis; but this is not acceptable to the warmongers, so they continue to foster hatred and distrust between Israelis and Palestinians. Oil-rich Arabian Heads-of-State live in absolute splendour, while most of their people live in squalor. The development dimensions of nation states the world over could be immeasurable if assets and resources are levelled off in equitable distribution to enable citizens to meet their basic needs, which is what the Israelis were doing with their communes. This has led Israel to become a world-power and a force to reckon with in the fiscal dynamics of the world; but what have the Arab leaders, with all their oil wealth, provided to their people? There have been instances of genocide, even against their own people, who they
This is an electoral absurdity THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has registered 78,000 new electors in the present electoral registration cycle and the majority of these new electors have been placed in three or four of the administrative Regions. Such a vast number of new electors and their concentration in three or four Regions is a statistical impossibility and the PPP party has been bitterly
complaining of this. Very strangely, none of the various persons who readily
pronounce on such matters has said one word about
this electoral absurdity and no member of the investigative journalist fraternity has taken up the challenge of explaining the conundrum. In solving the problem, I would suggest: (1) GECOM does a 10 percent sample census in the most affected areas with different enumerators than the ones who did it in the first place. (2) The political parties urgently invoke the assistance of the various international organisations
should have protected instead. Witness Saddam Hussein and his murderous rampages against the citizens over whom he ruled and other rulers of his ilk. Dr. Cheddi Jagan propounded the concept of the human family living in a global village. Life is a journey from birth to death. Within the timeframe and parameters of that journey, where is the satisfaction of oppressing another member of this human family, instead of contributing to its welfare and development? An angry nation of Israel, the citizens of which live in constant fear of being targeted by Arab extremists, has retaliated with a vengeance that is witnessing the destruction of property and innocent lives. But within that nation resides many in whom the qualities of mercy, compassion, and charity supersede the vengefulness of their leaders, who have convinced themselves that they
have no recourse to protect their citizens than to resort to this war, which is causing so much suffering on the innocent more than the guilty. And it is up to the ordinary people of Israel; the mothers and fathers, to say ‘Stop the carnage! Enough is enough!’ Some other strategy is needed, whereby the ordinary Palestinian people, and the ordinary Israeli people can force their leaders to some kind of armistice; where some strategy is devised for each to have a homeland of their own; and where they can negotiate terms for peaceful co-existence. Peaceful resolution of this unceasing conflict is an imperative; and it is up to the peoples within both communities to force their leaders to accept the reality that each nation needs a homeland, otherwise these Children of Abraham could very well precipitate Armageddon.
I agree with Neil Kumar
whose remit is to uphold Democracy and to investigate such matters. Initially, such organisations do not have to visit Guyana but should be merely sent the last two electoral lists, the last Census Report and other relevant information. The ABC countries who are committed to cultivating democracy worldwide and in Guyana may also be of some assistance.
I HAVE read an article titled ‘SPORTS VIEW by Neil Kumar’ in your Sunday Chronicle paper. I appreciate your willingness to publish a candid article to such a controversial issue. I would like to express my happiness and sign of comfort toward such a detailed and powerful article. I am strongly supporting the view expressed by Mr. Neil Kumar. I feel passionately, as a normal hardworking citizen, about the stand the Director of Sports has shown toward a matter that has affected our cricket community and Guyanese as a whole. I would like to thank Mr. Neil Kumar for being an informative leader to the public and continue moving Sports in Guyana forward. These interventions will only bring positive change and togetherness in the game of cricket and this beautiful land of Guyana. The ‘Amazon Warriors’ team was cheated. Let us have ‘Cricket as Cricket’.

It’s all a matter of taste
By David DeGroot WHAT does it say about a country’s reading population that shows a marked preference for a daily newspaper which consistently carries items designed to appeal to the minds of the depraved, seeking always to besmirch those in authority, and those entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the affairs of the country. As dreadful as this scenario might sound, there is still hope that enlightenment will yet prevail, if the story about the 53-year-old domes-
tic help is true. It turned out that the friend of the domestic asked, “Eh-eh, girl, how come you buying Chronicle now when you always used to buy Kaieteur?” And the response was, “Well, you see, when I spending my money, I got to get facts; not lies. I want to know the truth about what is going on in the country.” This brief exchange was told to me by the very domestic at reference, who expanded by stating that in comparing all four of the dailies, she observed that each had a different slant,
which led her to conclude that the Chronicle was the most credible of the lot. She also said that she wanted to know what the government was doing for the people. I have since come to appreciate that I should pay serious attention to whatever my kitchen aide proffers as truth. She also highlighted the profanity adopted by the Kaieteur News; often scandalous, threateningly vicious and unmindful of consequences, legal or otherwise; and the wanton disregard for journalistic probity. The practice of distorting the truth, as is being
done with the massive investment by the Chinese lumber company, Bai Shan Lin, is a typical example of the deliberate mischief that the Kaieteur News is bent on pursuing, in the hope of creating dissatisfaction with the government. The vast improvements initiated by this government is downplayed by this news media, by refusing to acknowledge the advances made in all of the social sectors, thereby bringing relief to the majority of the Guyanese population. Something should be done to stop this subterfuge.

Gov’t makes US$10M contribution to National to improved environmental Protected Areas Trust Fund - recommits practices and sustainable development By Derwayne Wills
WITH a resolute recomm i t m e n t t o i m p ro v e d environmental practices and sustainable development, the Government of Guyana yesterday announced a US$10M contribution to the National Protected Areas Trust Fund (NPATF). Confirming this was Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Mr. Robert Persaud, who while addressing the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the NPATF, noted: “We in Guyana have been very firm and committed in terms of playing our part and contributing in terms of mitigating… within the broader context and the broader commitment of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).” He expressed concerns over the current global situation of climate change, citing a United Nations report which posited that there had been increases in greenhouse gas emissions by some 1.3% between 1970 and 2000 with a further increase to 2.2% between 2000 and 2010. The NPATF which was set up through the Protected Areas Act 2011 is separate and apart from the Protected Areas Commission. Before the establishment of this commission, the Conservation Trust Fund (CTF), valued at some US$8.5M, provided long-term financing for the
management of Guyana’s intact Protected Areas System and supported efforts by the Government, along with local communities, to manage such areas. The CTF was established in December 2011 and will be dissolved with all assets transferred to the newly- commissioned National Protected Areas Trust Fund. Confirming this was Chair of the Conservation Trust Fund and representative of the major donors to the Trust Fund, Dr. David Singh. Singh, in brief remarks, spoke about the role of Conservation International (CI) in setting up the fund. He said: “CI established the global conservation fund and since then… has been helping to design and support innovative financing mechanisms for delivery of a steady flow of funds to protected areas.” He also noted the importance of Conservation International’s work in Guyana, citing the “global value of Guyana’s biodiversity.” CI’s successful partnership with the German bank KfW, according to Singh, follows a Memorandum of Understanding in 2006 aimed at protecting the global biological diversity with the other goal of improving social and economic conditions. This is evident, according to him, “in some of the world’s most important ecological regions.” The Chairman further cited the joint effort of CI and KfW
in Madagascar to protect an area in the Makira forest. Following the introduction of environmentally friendly techniques to farmers, Singh noted the benefits of the trust fund to the local farmers. “Through the introduction of environmentally friendly agricultural techniques to farmers, the trust fund has allowed for the farmers to better irrigate lowland rice fields and produce higher yields without having to clear more land.” Further, he stated, that through work of these organisations, protection of these lands, has resulted in the creation of new jobs in some local villages, “whose members manage and patrol the area.” With more works being done in the Region, Singh alluded to CI’s collaboration with the Governments of Brazil and Norway to establish the Kayapo Fund to support five indigenous lands in the Regions. “The fund was started by some $12M and includes funding from CI and the Government of Norway through its bilateral climate agreement with the Government of Brazil.” The trust, Singh added, is neither meant to replace nor substitute the Guyana Government’s efforts for biodiversity conservation but will instead “require

Court rules in the Carol Sooba/ Royston King Town Clerk battle IN his affidavit in answer, Royston King, to whom the Order of Rule nisi of Quo Warranto was directed, deposed that his attorney-at-law had informed him that in his application for a Writ of Certiorari against the Minister of Local Government, the court had stated that the applicant herein (Ms. Carol Ryan Sooba) could remain in office until an application for a writ of Quo Warranto against her was filed. He deposed that on the very day that Sooba had filed her Notice of Motion herein, he had filed an application for an Order or Rule nisi of Quo Warranto to be issued against her. His application was later considered by Justice Insanally, who granted an order or Rule nisi of Quo Warranto. He further deposed that his attorney-at-law had also advised him that the legal effect of the decision of the court in his application for Certiorari against the Minister of Local Government, quashing Sooba’s appointment to the post of Town Clerk, coupled with the order or Rule nisi of Quo Warranto made by Justice Insanally against her was that the post of Town Clerk became vacant. Consequently, the Mayor and City Council were empowered under the provisions of the Municipal and District Councils Act (particularly section 122 thereof) to appoint him to perform the functions of Town Clerk, and they had so done. Section 122 of the Municipal and District Councils Act provides: “A local Government officer may, at any time, resign his office by writing signed by him and delivered to the Mayor or the Chairman of the Council in which he is serving, and his resignation shall take effect upon the receipt thereof by the Mayor or Chairman, as the case may be.” The court must say at once that it is unable to see the relevance or application of Section 122 to the facts of this case. Perhaps the respondent Royston King intended to refer to Section 120(1), having regard to the drift of the contents of his affidavit in answer. The central issue in this case is whether the City Council had the legal authority to send the de facto Town Clerk (Carol Sooba) on administrative leave and to appoint Royston King to discharge the functions of that office. The answer to that question seems to lie in the contents of Section 120(1) of the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01 Section 129(1) which provides: “Notwithstanding Section 116, a council may, if there is a vacancy in any local government office, or if the holder or the person acting in that office is unable, for any reason, to perform the functions thereof; and if there is no local government officer authorised by law to perform those functions, appoint a Deputy to act temporarily in such office; and such deputy shall assume and perform those functions.” Under Section 2 of the Act, “council” means, inter alia,
“the City Council”. Thus, under Section 120 (1) of the Municipal and District Councils Act, the City Council of Georgetown in a local government office, but only where there is a vacancy in that office or when the holder or person acting in that office is unable to perform the functions thereof, and when there is no local government officer authorised by law to perform the functions thereof. In the instant case, at the time when the City Council purported to appoint Royston King to perform the functions of Town Clerk, even though Carol Sooba was not the de jure holder of that office, she held that office de facto, and therefore there was no vacancy in that office. Even if Carol Sooba was then neither the de jure nor the de facto Town Clerk, the City Council could have appointed only a deputy Town Clerk to act temporarily and Carol Sooba, being the only substantive deputy Town Clerk, she was the only person who was eligible to be appointed to act temporarily as Town Clerk by the City Council. In respect of the decision of the City Council to send the de facto Town Clerk, Carol Sooba, on administrative leave, the respondents have not referred the court to any provision of the Municipal and District Councils Act which empowers the City Council to send the Town Clerk, as an officer earning more than $18,000 per annum, on administrative leave. Having regard to Section 116 (1) of that Act, it does appear to the court that the legal power to send the Town Clerk on administrative leave does not lie in the City Council, but rather lies in the Local Government Service Commission. As mentioned in a previous related decision, that Commission has been statutorily established under Section 95 even though its members have never been appointed under Section 96. But assuming that the City Council did have the power to make the decision whether the Town Clerk should be sent on administrative leave, the City Council could not have lawfully exercised that power simply to create an enabling state of affairs for the exercise of its own power to substitute a person to perform the duties of Town Clerk. To achieve such a power by such an artful device is an unlawful exercise of power in administrative law. For this reason also, the court holds that the City Council acted unlawfully in making the decision to send the de facto Town Clerk on administrative leave. In any event, the sending of the de facto Town Clerk (the applicant) on administrative leave did not deprive her of her status of de facto Town Clerk. For the purpose of Section 120 (1), a distinction must be drawn between “unable” and “disable”. The sending of Carol Sooba on administrative leave did not “unable” her to perform the duties of Town Clerk, it could only have “disabled” her from so doing. At all material times, the applicant Carol Sooba was the de facto holder of the office of Town Clerk and was not “unable to” perform the
Drug submersible brought to Georgetown as investigations continue
THE 65-foot-long submersible that was found in the Waini River Region of the North West District two weeks ago has been brought to Georgetown as investigators continue probing its construction and utility. Twelve feet wide and seven feet deep, this vessel was found outfitted with a diesel engine, and was reputedly built in Guyana. No one has, to date, been arrested in connection with this find, nor was any drug found aboard. Ranks of the Customs AntiNarcotics Unit (CANU) are convinced that the vessel was used to ship drugs in and out of Guyana. A source said that, based on in-
functions of Town Clerk. Therefore, the decision of the City Council to apply Section 120 (1) and to exercise thereunder the power to appoint anyone to perform the functions of Town Clerk was ultra vires, null and void, and of no legal effect. In any event, the power of the City Council under Section 120 (1) is a power to appoint a deputy to perform the functions of the substantive office. Royston King was not a deputy Town Clerk. He was the Public Relations Officer of the City Council. He was therefore ineligible for appointment by the Council acting under Section 120 (1). His appointment thereunder by the Council was therefore ultra vires the City Council and also null and void. Section 120(1) could not be used to replace Carol Sooba as the de facto Town Clerk with Royston King. Even if one were to disregard the de facto status of Carol Sooba as Town Clerk, she nevertheless held the substantive post of Deputy Clerk. Therefore, in purporting to send Carol Sooba on administrative leave, the City Council was also sending the substantive Deputy Town Clerk on administrative leave – thereby pre-empting itself from acting under Section 120 (1) to appoint a deputy to perform the duties of Town Clerk. As mentioned before, the court is of the view that City Council had no power to send the de facto Town Clerk on administrative leave. The court wishes to point that, in a previous related decision, it never held that upon an application for a Writ of Quo Warranto, Carol Sooba’s de facto status as Town Clerk would come to an end. What the court stated was that de facto status would come to end upon the issue of such a Writ. Only an absolute (not a mere nisi) order can have such an effect. It was also inaccurate for the respondent to have stated that the court had refused to grant an Order or Rule nisi of Quo Warranto against the applicant in Royston King’s application for the Writ to be issued. The court simply declined to hear the application at that juncture for reason of the pending appeal against the court’s decision in a previous application by him (King). Disregarding the copious allegations of fact made by the applicant (most of which the court views as immaterial to the making of its decision), the court nevertheless sees it fit to order that the Orders or Rules nisi of Certiorari, Prohibition and Quo Warranto made on the 14th day of May, 2014 be made absolute. While the Court sees no useful purpose in awarding costs to the applicant in the circumstances, the court wishes to point out that the need for a functioning Local Government Service Commission cannot be over-emphasised. An administrative vacuum creates room for administrative lawlessness and confusion.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana…
President Ramotar again exposes the AFC’s nefarious agenda OLD Kai has observed that the Alliance For Change (AFC) has jumped to announce that if elected to government, it will put in place a ban on the export of logs. No doubt, this was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan, following the misinformation campaign by the Kaieteur News on the forestry sector. The daily attacks by the Kaieteur News on stakeholders in this sector, and then the pronouncements of the AFC were no coincidence. Old Kai is, however, happy the AFC has made such a bold pronouncement, because it just goes to show how unprepared and desperate they really are. Equally so, it illustrates just how irresponsible they are, as their proposed ban on timber exports directly places the livelihoods of thousands of workers and their families who depend on this industry in jeopardy. And among those who will be hardest hit by this obnoxious proposal will be the small loggers in the hinterland communities, who have depended on this sector for over a century to sustain their families.
Can the AFC/APNU and their cheerleaders now tell us why they have suddenly become supporters of the Government’s Low-Carbon Development Strategy when they have consistently slashed funding for it in successive National Budgets? I do hope the people in these regions who stand to have their main source of income taken away by the AFC have taken note, and will not be swayed by the two-faced nature of the Party, as, no doubt, they will soon venture into these
communities and tell the people that what they said was not exactly what they said. They will say that their primary concern is ensuring value-added production, and the export ban on timber will ensure more processing is done in Guyana, thereby creating more jobs. While this is correct and has been at the forefront of efforts by the Government since 1992, President Ramotar has promised to the AFC’s ac- defend the interests of loggers and tions thus far those that depend on the forestry indicates that sector, just as he has defended this is anoth- and supported all the other sectors er trap to get over the past three years a few votes, as it is no other than the AFC, combined with the APNU, which has been trying to get this country internationally blacklisted and slapped with sanctions intended to kill our export markets, not just for timber and timber-related products, but production in all our sectors. Already, the Opposition’s continued refusal to support the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism legislation has seen it become more difficult for several sectors to conduct business transactions with
partners overseas, particularly our banking sector. This much they have publicly stated. Now, the AFC needs to tell Guyanese how ‘strangling’ the business sector will translate to increased investments and value-added production in the timber industry, especially if those foreign and local companies will now find it more difficult to do business with, and in, Guyana. They cannot be harming our investment prospects, and then talk about encouraging investments at the same time; and this clearly illustrates the two-faced nature of the AFC. How can they be trusted when, in the lead-up to the last elections, they promised sugar workers a 20% wage and salary increase, and that they will not support any attempt to close the industry, only to turn around, after they enjoyed a combined one-seat majority with the APNU in the National Assembly, and supported calls for the industry’s closure, and for it to be turned into fish ponds? Therefore, Old Kai is pleased that they have been rebuked by no less a person than President Donald Ramotar, who has promised to defend the interests of loggers and those that depend on the forestry sector, just as he has defended and supported all the other sectors over the past three years. Quite fittingly, speaking at the annual Pork-Knockers’s Day event in Bartica on Saturday, President Ramotar reaffirmed that Guyana’s deforestation rate is amongst the lowest in the world, and has been supported by independent international verification methods, and that our current volume of extraction was well below what is permissible. Therefore, there is no doubt that our forestry sector is sustainable. That said, can the AFC/APNU and their cheerleaders now tell us why they have suddenly become supporters of the Government’s Low-Carbon Development Strategy when they have consistently slashed funding for it in successive National Budgets? To be continued…
President still considering IMC replacement for City Hall
- APNU rejects idea of IMC
BY Ravin Singh
HEAD of State President Donald Ramotar last Friday at a press conference, disclosed that the idea of an Interim Management Committee (IMC) as a replacement at City Hall, until local government elections are held, is one which he is “still thinking about.” At the press conference which was held at Office of the President, the President noted that for City Hall to be efficiently and effectively engaged meaningfully, “there needs to be much more maturity.” He further explained that “it is very clear that there seems to be no intention, regardless of which branch of Government the Opposition is in, to see development of any kind,” while noting that he thinks there is a general pattern of being “obstructionists.” The ‘tit-for-tat’ situation which has manifested at City Hall between the Administration and the Council since the
appointment of acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba, has resulted in no real progress being made at the institution, while the needs of citizens remain neglected. As a result, the idea of an IMC replacement was birthed. In this regard, the President noted that: ““…the idea of [an] IMC has been on the agenda for a long time. I have not decided as yet, I am still thinking about it…. there are many considerations to look at. He further highlighted that: ““…I think what is desperately needed is recognition that the people who are suffering are ordinary people and we need to work in their interest. Earlier in the day however, at his party’s weekly press conference, Leader of the Opposition, Brigadier David Granger refused to support the call for an IMC replacement at City Hall, saying “no, no, no” when asked if he would lend his support to such an idea. The Opposition Leader stressed that the major problem
emanating from City Hall is a result of the “imposed” Town Clerk who is not being accepted by the majority of the council. “Get rid of the unwanted Town Clerk” Granger said, once again reiterating that: “We will not support the imposition of an IMC.” In comments invited by this publication, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Norman Whittaker, last month had noted that although the option of an IMC is an ideal one, such an undertaking must be “discussed at the level of Cabinet,” because neither the Local Government and Regional Development (LGRD) Ministry nor the incumbent minister has the power to “unilaterally and independently determine” such an outcome. The Minister opined however that: “An IMC couldn’t perform worse than the City Council” when questioned as to how effective an IMC could be as a replacement at City Hall. He noted that the composition of an IMC should come out of meaningful discussions with relevant stakeholders.

PPP calls on GECOM to ensure credible list of electors
...after extended Claims and Objections period
THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday reiterated its call to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to ensure that a credible list of electors is produced at the end of this current extended period of Claims and Objections. “We want to start from now to ensure that the process is clean, orderly and transparent,” the party’s General Secretary Clement Rohee said, at a press conference at Freedom House yesterday. He contends that GECOM must explain: ● The increase of almost 80,000 voters on the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE); ● How persons are living at the same address in Georgetown but are placed on different divisional lists; ● Why it has not yet conducted a physical verification of the discovery of 18 electors at one address; ● The discovery of 10 persons listed at an address at Prospect, East Bank Demerara, which is an unoccupied empty lot “overgrown” with bushes; ● The “ineffectiveness” of GECOM’s Mobile Units, due to the poor PR in notifying residents well in advance and the inconvenient days and times for residents; and ● The listing of approximately 2,958 persons, al-
The ruling party’s efforts are to ensure “orderly, peaceful and transparent elections. We fought tooth and nail for that, we have gone to prison for that and we have died for that…” - PPP General Secretary. though deceased, are still included on the PLE. Rohee said, “The PPP has always advocated in favour of a list that will not disenfranchise any eligible Guyanese; moreover had it not been for the many struggles over the years, the return to democracy would have continued to be a figment of our imagination. “The 6th Cycle of Continuous Registration and the Claims and Objections being no exception, the Party through its rigorous fieldwork have uncovered a number of discrepancies with the PLE.” According to him, GECOM must take corrective actions. “Our quest is straight and simple to have free, fair and transparent elections,” Rohee said. NON-ACTION He noted that if these concerns are not addressed, the non-action could trigger the realisation of the party’s “worst fears” – a realisation that could result in a call for a new continuous registration cycle, which once done with party scrutineers, should ensure a “clean” list.
Rohee said, “If the list is rejected, it would mean that probably a new exercise of continuous registration and claims and objections may have to be done; this time with GECOM and party scrutineers to ensure that the list is clean and acceptable at least to us.” The General Secretary also acknowledged that such a move could have implications on a move to the polls, in light of the Alliance For Change’s (AFC) no-confidence motion, which is currently with the Clerk of the National Assembly. “There are a host of implications, I do agree, which we would have to look at if that situation arises but I would say when we come to that bridge we will cross it,” he said. Section 106 (6) of the Constitution states that: “The Cabinet and President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of the majority of all Members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.” However, the following paragraph, Section 106 (7) makes clear that: “Notwithstanding its defeat, the
Government shall remain in office and shall hold an election within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall, by resolution, supported by no less than two-thirds of all elected members of the National Assembly, and shall resign after a new President takes the oath of office following the election.” Additionally, before the no-confidence motion is debated and passed in the National Assembly, the Head of State, Mr. Donald Ramotar, could call snap elections – a move he has since made clear will not be decided on prematurely. Asked about his optimism that corrective actions would be considered by the Elections Commission, Rohee said, “At the end of the day, I don’t see GECOM holding to a list that the PPP, which is a major political party in this country, objecting to it….it has never happened in the history of this country.” OPPOSITION’S STANCE The position of the combined Opposition, A
Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the AFC, on the concerns voiced by the ruling party was also addressed by Rohee. He said, “The PPP has noted with concern too, the recent statements made by the Opposition Leader with regards to the coalition’s position on the massive increase of electors on the PLE. The Opposition seems to be confident that the list is not padded and has publicly expressed confidence in GECOM. “This is the same Opposition that did not support our request to extend the Claims and Objections period by seven days; the results are there for the nation to see with regards to the amount of transactions done during this extended period; the PPP calls on GECOM to make this public.” Rohee added that the ruling party’s efforts are to ensure “orderly, peaceful and transparent” elections. He said, “We fought tooth and nail for that, we have gone to prison for that and we have died for that… but it seems as though on the opposite side it is not in their interest to have orderly and peaceful elections but one that is characterised by confusion,
because with confusion the results can be questioned.” Also, the Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DECO) Mr. Vishnu Persaud, responding to a query from the Guyana Chronicle, has confirmed that of the three parliamentary political parties, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is the only party that has raised concerns with the Preliminary List of Electors. “As at this time, I am not aware of other parties expressing concerns about the PLE,” he said in a prior interview. The DCEO noted that it is within the right of any political party to express concerns pertaining to any aspect of GECOM’s work, and correspondingly it is GECOM’s responsibility to respond appropriately. Persaud said that if any political party is dissatisfied with the Official List of Electors to be produced after the Claims and Objections period is over, GECOM would be more than willing to address those concerns to the satisfaction of all concerned. The Claims exercise ended on August 31st and the Objections will end on September 3rd. GECOM’s hotline numbers are 225-0278-9, 2266557 or 223-9650.
Health Ministry, IAC to collaborate on suicide prevention awareness walk THE Ministry of Health wishes to announce its strategic partnership with the Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) for a walk to heighten awareness on the need for all to work towards helping to prevent suicides in Guyana. Executives of the IAC met with Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, and his team and presented their organisation’s initiative and explored the possibility of a meaningful collaboration. A very receptive Minister Ramsaran lauded the effort and committed his Ministry and related staff.
The Minister noted the various efforts the Ministry of Health has undertaken over time to aid in the awareness of curbing suicide including the training of persons in this regard. Only recently a Mental Health Colloquium was held at which Sean Doorn, PhD, gave a presentation on recognising the early signs of mental health. Minister Ramsaran pointed out the need for all to be involved in these processes in providing assistance and counselling to those who seek help and those who display related tendencies. He reiterated the Minis-
try’s commitment to working with organisations that have expressed an interest in dealing with social issues. The IAC in the past had demonstrated its willingness to lead and support any intervention regarding this issue and based on the magnitude of incidents, called for suicide to be declared a national priority. Further, the organisation pointed out that due to the high rate of suicide, a major international news network visited Guyana and produced a story highlighting this distressing trend. The IAC believes that much more can be done and
had called for meaningful collaboration among the Ministries of Human Services and Social Security, Health and Culture, Youth & Sport, to derive a plan of action which will lead to the provision of education through awareness and related counselling with the aim of reducing, and hopefully, eliminating incidents of suicides. The walk will be held on Sunday, September 14, 2014, from 07:00 hrs starting from outside the Bank of Guyana building. It will proceed east along Church Street, north in Camp Street, west into
Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran
Dr. Bhiro Harry, National Psychiatrist
Lamaha Street, north into High Street and ending at the Umana Yana where a poster display would be mounted. There, participants would be briefly addressed by Dr. Bhiro Harry, National Psychiatrist and Minister Ramsaran. Both the Ministry of
Health and the IAC would like to call on all Guyanese, Religious and Non-Governmental Organisations to support this initiative of walking to heighten awareness about the need to prevent suicide. All are invited.

President stresses importance of major developmental projects
THE Head of State, Mr. Donald Ramotar, contends that the major projects started under the current Administration are important for Guyana, considering their potential for improving the life of the average Guyanese. “We are restoring the fund to areas that will make major impacts on the lives of people in Guyana,” he said, when asked about the funding for the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) modernisation project. The massive modernisation project at the airport is reportedly moving apace and is on schedule.The project features three components: construction of a new terminal building measuring 16, 000 square metres, which will have eight passenger boarding bridges and two elevators, as well as CCTV and departure control systems; the Extension of the Main Runway by 3,500ft to a final length of 10,500ft, which will increase CJIA’s capacity to facilitate the landing of Boeing 747-400 aircraft; and the construction of eight international parking positions. Government has signed a design-and-build contract to the tune of US$138M with the Chinese contractor. Under the contract, CHEC has 32 months to complete the project. The project is being partially funded by a US$130M loan from China, with the rest coming from the public treasury. The project is scheduled for completion in August 2015. Also, the President was emphatic is stressing the Government’s commitment to this and other undertakings aimed at improving the lives of Guyanese. Restorations for several development initiatives were included in a $4.6B financial paper that was tabled in the National Assembly on June 19 this year. (Vanessa Narine)
Rohee slams Greenidge for condemning new GuySuCo Board
11
- reaffirms PPP’s commitment to sugar industry and its thousands of workers
THE General-Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Mr. Clement Rohee blasted A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU), Carl Greenidge for his condemnation of the composition of the new Board of Directors of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo). At a press conference at Freedom House yesterday he said, “The PNC/APNU continues its vulgar attacks on the sugar industry and sugar workers, thus putting the country’s economy at risk and the livelihood of sugar workers at stake. “…at the announcement of the new Board of Directors, Carl Greenidge lambasted the composition of the Board, attacked the credentials, and even the race of the members and made it clear that ‘the Government should harbour no illusions about the likelihood of parliamentary support for the future request for funds for GuySuCo.’” According to Rohee, by Greenidge’s own statement he has usurped the authority of the entire Parliament by sending a clear signal that he will obstruct support for the sugar industry and sugar workers. “We are not surprised by his statement because in the last several debates in the parliament he opposed the appropriation of funds for the industry. In fact he is determined to take bread out of the mouth of sugar workers who have made so much sacrifice for this country,” the PPP General-Secretary said. He highlighted that Greenidge’s recent comments are similar to that of former PNC Member of Parliament (MP), Tony Vieira, who had called for the sector to use its resources and move from sugar production to tilapia farming. “The PNC/APNU is bent on destroying the lives of sugar workers. The political ambitions of the PNC/APNU are driving their decisions to do all that they can to impede the recent progress in the industry. Success will hamper their political
aspirations,” Rohee said. The General-Secretary added that if Greenidge’s comments are acted on, it will not only destroy the lives of sugar workers, but it will also damage the economic activities of the entire country and specifically the thriving businesses around the sugar estates and the businesses that depend on the sugar industry to sustain their operations and their workers. He said, “Greenidge must stop the reckless behaviour so commonplace in his Party and do what is best for all of Guyana and not just the very narrow interest of the PNC/APNU. “Mr. Greenidge’s statements’ with respect to sugar is astounding, if not puzzling to say the least. It is to be recorded that during his tenure at the ACP Secretariat in Brussels and the Netherlands, Greenidge like other members of the ACP were fully up-to-speed with the challenges facing the sugar industries in the ACP countries. He was part and parcel of the heated and prolonged debates about the future of sugar, when the EU Commission halted to save the preferential market access to EU markets as well as the difficult and complex regulations at the WTO. But now he has thrown all of this behind and like the typical opportunistic politician has abandoned all that the ACP countries stood and fought for in exchange for cheap politicking - sugar workers must reject this!” To this end, Rohee reaffirmed the ruling party’s commitment to the sugar industry and its thousands of workers. “The PPP wants to make it very clear as it did in the past that it will continue to give full support to the industry because we understand the challenges and the need to create the environment for a better life for all those who depend on the industry,” he stressed.
Courts donates suite, fridge and bed to single mother of four By Asif Hakim Courts Guyana Inc. last Thursday donated a living-room suite, fridge and bed to Althea Boucher, a single mother of four daughters who had lived in a condemned factory on the East Coast for over eight years.

life; she said just as how Courts is proud of bringing value home to all of their customers, they are also proud of bringing value home to Boucher. The PRPO added that it’s hard for a single mother who has to take care of four children to live happily; she said that Courts will continue to support not only Boucher, but anyone that is in need of help. Speaking with the Chronicle, Boucher said that after living in the abandoned factory with her four daughters, her aunt then invited her to live with her before she went with her uncle in Lamaha Street; she said that she is currently living with her uncle and will be moving into her new home over the weekend, which was last Saturday. “It was a surprise, words cannot express how I am feeling, I’m happy and I’m speechless, I will like to thank
Courts, Habitat for Guyana and also Scotia Bank for bringing joy to my life and making my life way easier now,” Boucher said. Meanwhile, in Courts “Back to School” promotion, four lucky winners had won themselves a full computer workstation, laptop computer and Samsung Tablets. In the Major promotion customer Marcus Webster, who had shopped items worth $149,999, won himself a Samsung Laptop. The other promotions saw Mohamed Haniff who had shopped items worth $99,999, won himself a full computer workstation which includes a flash drive, compuer chair and computer desk.

No-confidence motion being discussed at Cabinet, PPP levels By Vanessa Narine THE Alliance For Change’s (AFC) no-confidence motion, which was submitted to the Clerk of the National Assembly at the beginning of August, is being discussed at Cabinet level, as well as at the level of the ruling party’s executive. General-Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, yesterday confirmed that the party was discussing the motion: “We are in the process of discussing it. The party is in the process
of discussing the matter. We haven’t made any conclusions as yet. It is pretty early,” he said. Meanwhile, President Donald Ramotar, last Friday at a news conference, noted that his Administration still has time to make a decision on the matter. “I still have time to deal with this issue. This matter comes up in October…I will not make a decision prematurely,” he said. The Head of State added that various actions that can be taken have been the subject of these discussions, although he noted that the
consideration of legal recourse has not yet some up. Mr. Ramotar said: “We are always discussing these things. These things are never off the table…. we are discussing everything….if those suggestions come up, of course we will discuss it.” Additionally, the Head of State highlighted that his Administration continues to work with various sector stakeholders. “We have constantly been working to bring people together, to work together.” He also bemoaned what was termed “lip service” to
the idea of working together, referencing moves by the combined Opposition to block the Government’s development thrust. “What kind of government will that be, a government designed to stall development, stall progress in a country? “...on issues like the AML/CFT Bill, they understand the importance, but their objective is to mainly damage Guyana more than anything else,” Mr. Ramotar said. The President made it clear that regardless of the moves by the combined Opposition parties, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the AFC, his Government and party stand ready to deal with the resulting consequences. “I am sure that whenever elections are held, whether it is held tomorrow, whether it is held next week, or whether it is held in 2016, that [the] PPP will regain its majority in the National Assembly. I am confident about that…I have no doubt of that,” he stressed. The first inkling the public had that the AFC planned
moving a no-confidence motion against the Government was way back in mid-June, when party Vice-Chairman, Mr Moses Nagamootoo, hinted at it. He did so by way of an article published in the Stabroek News and headlined, “AFC considering no-confidence motion against Gov’t.” He, however, acknowledged that to do so would require the support of the Main Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). The AFC finally got i t s w i s h o n Tu e s d a y, August 5, when APNU Leader, Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger, publicly confirmed that his party was fully behind the no-confidence motion. The first page of the Motion reads: “Be it resolved that this National Assembly has no confidence in the Government.” The Head of State, during a prior news conference, rather than commit himself to a definitive answer, simply stated that any decision related to the no-confidence motion, including the possibility of
calling snap elections, will be made “at the appropriate time.” According to the pundits, should snap elections not be called before a debate on the Motion, the current Administration is expected to be disbanded in preparation for a return to the polls. As stated in Section 106 (6) of the Constitution: “The Cabinet and President shall resign, if the Government is defeated by the vote of the majority of all Members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.” This is made even clearer in Section 106 (7), which states: “Notwithstanding its defeat, the Government shall remain in office, and shall hold an election within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall, by resolution, supported by no less than two-thirds of all elected members of the National Assembly, and shall resign after a new President takes the oath of office following the election.” The last time general elections were held in Guyana was in November 2011.

Science, technology will unlock agri
…says President Ramotar By Clifford Stanley THE application of science and technology to agricultural production will unlock the full potential of the sector for sustained contribution to economic and social prosperity, President Donald Ramotar said yesterday. The occasion was the commissioning of two state -of-the-art plant laboratories in the compound of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) at Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara . The two new lab, one a Tissue Culture Lab and the other a Bio-Control Lab, will among other tasks, advance the work of the NAREI in identifying and providing top-quality planting materials for farmers as well as ensuring that agricultural commodities destined for export markets meet the phyto sanitary requirements of importing
countries. President Donald Ramotar delivered the feature address at the commissioning ceremony, which included a background to the projects by Dr.Oudho Homenauth CEO of NAREI and remarks by Minister of Agriculture, Dr Leslie Ramsammy. The gathering included members of the Diplomatic Corps , farmers and senior officials within the agricultural sector. In his feature address, President Ramotar noted that establishment of the laboratories is aimed at the application of science and technology to drive agricultural production, both for local consumption and for export markets. “We have huge possibilities in agriculture. We have lands and we have fresh water and therefore we have huge scope and big possibilities in developing this sector in a major way,” he said.

cultural commodities to regional and international markets.

potential for contribution to economy nationally and locally. There is a growing health awareness of people. People are becoming more conscious about what they eat and what they need to eat to keep healthy. “Therefore labs like these become extremely important in these modern times for us to produce and develop safe foods for our people and for the markets that we will sell to." He said that Guyana would like to move from being an agricultural country to becoming an industrial country too. “The use of science and technology in agriculture will give us a jump-start in this regard.” Dr. Leslie Ramsammy said that the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan had 50 years ago advanced the vision of using science and technology as a driving force for agriculture. He said: “These labs represent another step in Guyana towards realising these aspirations; towards further concretization of the vision to make science and technology in agriculture contribute meaningfully to our development and towards

improving the lives of all.” He disclosed that one of the goals of the commissioned laboratories is to produce over 10,000 diseasefree plantain plants between now and 2015 . “These are plants that will have resistance to black sigatoka disease for example and thus improve pro-
duction and productivity among vegetable farmers; make exports possible ” he said. Facilities at the labs will also help to determine whether materials such as seeds are of the required quality. Dr. Oudho Homenauth CEO of NAREI disclosed that the commissioning of the labs is indeed a mile-
stone for the sector. “The operationalising of the labs is in tandem with our agriculture strategy of modernising the sector, so that it can become on par with what prevails internationally. With this development the incorporation of science and technology which is an important facet in agricultural development will be given more prominence.” The laboratories, he said , have the capacity for real- time screening and molecular analysis of scores of plant samples within hours for monitoring purposes, as well as for early detection of any diseases.. The tissue -culture lab will increase the capacity of NAREI to produce tissue- culture plants for agricultural production, boosting this production from 50,000 plantlets annually to in excess of 200,000 annually. It will also be the means through which new and improved varieties of plants such as sweet potatoes, yams and plantains can be transferred into Guyana from other countries .The
Bio Control lab is designed to protect Guyana’s agriculture from destruction by exotic pests and diseases. It will also ensure, for the first time in Guyana, that agricultural commodities exported conform to the phyto-sanitary requirements of importing countries, which is a requirement for Guyana as an exporting country. The work of the laboratory will assure regional and international trading partners that our fruits and vegetables are free of pesticide residue , Homenauth said. Project Coordinator, Mr.Dhaneshwar James disclosed that the projects had been funded by way of a US$20M loan to the Government of Guyana from the Inter –American Development Bank (IDB). Both President Ramotar and Minister of Agriculture Dr Leslie Ramsammy yesterday publicly expressed their appreciation and gratitude to the IDB for giving Guyana the loan to make the two laboratories possible.

Naya Zamana 19...
All the drama patrons craved, with a twist of royalty THE grandeur; the panache; the decadence of privilege. It was all there, as promised, when the 70-member cast of Naya Zamana 19 took to the stage of the National Cultural Centre (NCC) Saturday night gone to present ‘A Royal Twist’, as was the
title of this year’s production. And a right royal twist it was indeed, judging from the photographs, which, from time immemorial, have been known to speak volumes, as the storyline shifted from one era to the next, replete with fabulous dance, resplendent costumes, magnificent sets
and intense drama. And the beauty of it all was that this year’s production was home-grown and good, penned by none other than Director/Choreographer, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, who readily admitted to letting her imagination “run riot in crafting a script which conjures up
Frozen in time
the splendour and romance of a bygone era as well as the drama of present-day.” Playing lead roles were US-based choreographer and dancer, Noman Ahmad, as the debonair Sid Sharma; Zahrah Alli as the famous Mughal dancer, Anarkali; Ravi, as Prince Saleem; and Guyana’s own Nazim Hussain as Emperor Akbar.
Among those in the audience savouring it all were President Donald Ramotar; Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh; and Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and his wife, Mrs Yvonne Hinds. The Guyana Chronicle’s Chief Photographer, Cullen Bess-Nelson, was there and caught it all on camera. Enjoy!

Gov’t makes US$10M ... (From Page 7)
EXTRACTIVE SECTOR The Natural Resources Minister announced that support had been received from Cabinet for US$10M to be placed in the fund. “These resources are coming from revenues from the extractive sector, more so from the mining sector where the GGMC (Guyana Geology and Mines Commission) will be investing $2B immediately into the fund.” The Minister said this is a significant injection and is also considered a novel approach which speaks to striking a balance between conservation and development. He expressed his hopes that this will see the donor community contributing more to the vibrant and economically viable initiative working in the interest of the country.
Aries March 21 - April 19 It isn’t exactly all lightness and harmony at home today. There’s tension in the air and it manifests in silly family arguments. Try to arrange separate activities for siblings, and encourage your partner to eat out with friends. This is a day to give everyone his or her space. Tomorrow everyone will be happy to eat together again.

much more effort from the Government and the people… including the private sector.” It is envisioned that the expected “financial returns from the trust are expected to complement the Government’s efforts and the trust itself will create opportunities for public and private partners to form a new alliance for nature,” Singh said. Minister Persaud interjected that the strides made in developing the protected areas system came as a result of support from the German Government as well as from Conservation International. In terms of financial contributions, Minister Persaud stated that there was a US$5M from the German Government and US$3.5M or so from Conservation International.

Taurus April 20 - May 20 This could be a particularly stressful day. Your workload is heavier than ever, thanks to the increased responsibility you’ve taken on. The day seems endless, yet there aren’t enough hours to get done all that needs doing. Take care not to take your anxiety out on others. If you’re nice to them, they may even help you finish your project! Gemini May 21 - June 21 Your self-confidence may be a bit low and you could doubt your abilities right now. Don’t get depressed or disheartened. Your skills are excellent. Try to look at your situation objectively and pinpoint why you aren’t progressing in your career as rapidly as you’d hoped. You may be worried about money, but know that everything will work out in the end. Cancer June 22 - July 22 Today you may feel bored and frustrated with your life’s direction. You feel buried under responsibilities, with no time left to do what you really want to do. You have other interests to pursue but no time to pursue them. It’s frustrating. You might want to rethink your priorities. If you’re creative about time management, you’ll be able to find some time. Leo July 23 - August 22 You’re less optimistic and energetic than usual. Your mind feels sluggish your whole body does, in fact. You’re either coming down with the flu or completely and thoroughly disheartened. This would be a good day to take some time off. Issues from the past may come back to haunt you. Perhaps you should address them once and for all.
For Tuesday Sepetember 2, 2014 -09:30hrs
Virgo August 23 - September 22 You may be discouraged about money matters today. Perhaps a raise you’d been hoping for didn’t come through. Perhaps a professional project didn’t work out as you expected. Now is the time to put your ingenuity to work and figure out a way to earn the money you need. Trust that you have the necessary know-how. A good opportunity awaits you. Libra September 23 - October 22 If work is beginning to feel more like a burden than a joy, it may be time to rethink your job. Your personality is such that you need lots of room to stretch and grow. If you feel stifled, you know it’s time to find a new professional challenge. You’re fortunate that your skill set affords you many opportunities. Choose carefully! Scorpio October 23 - November 21 You’re especially in tune with the environment and the people around you today. Such sensitivity is new to you, and you aren’t exactly sure what to do with the myriad messages that come into your head, seemingly out of nowhere. Even though this is outside your usual experience, try to accept rather than analyse. Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 You’re drawn to public service. This desire propels you to volunteer your services with a group of some kind. You may feel a bit awkward at first, but your natural leadership abilities will soon kick in. The group will be left wondering how they ever managed without you. Your talent shines through once again. Well done! Capricorn December 22 - January 19 Don’t take everything at face value today. Information you receive might not be accurate. Someone could be repeating gossip or even creating it just to have something to talk about. Don’t take part in the discussion. Since your workload is likely heavy, forego the socialising in favour of finishing the tasks in front of you. Aquarius January 20 - February 18 You may be feeling a bit on edge today. Your self-confidence is shaky and you may feel in need of new challenges. The tedious tasks you have in front of you don’t inspire your imagination or creativity. Do what you can to get through this difficult day. Be extra kind to yourself by indulging in a good lunch or listening to classical music. Pisces February 19 - March 20 You and your mate may be experiencing some differences of opinion. It seems you each have definite ideas about some of life’s fundamental values and they aren’t completely in sync. Make an extra effort to communicate. You may find that your values aren’t as far apart as they first seemed. This rift between you will soon close. Hang in there.

BCB commences Diamond Jubilee month of celebrations … Office to be renamed on Monday
By Calvin Roberts IN SEPTEMBER of 1939, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) was formed to administer the gentleman’s game of cricket in the Ancient County and last Sunday at the St Francis Community Development Centre, the BCB hosted a 75th anniversary dinner, which kick-started their Diamond Jubilee month of celebrations. President Donald Ramotar, Minister of Sport Dr Frank Anthony, Minister of Agriculture Dr Leslie Ramsammy, the respective Regional Chairmen of Region Five and Six, Bindrabhan Bisnauth and Permaul Armogan, 81-yearold Basil Butcher and Albion Cricket Club’s first Test player Sew Shivnarine were some of the guests who graced the occasion with their presence. During his brief remarks, President Ramotar congratulated the BCB on reaching such a wonderful milestone, even as he urged them to aim for higher heights and deeper depths in the future. “I must congratulate the BCB on achieving this milestone here today, since without doubt, some of the talent that came out of Berbice have entertained on the world stage and of the highest caliber. “This is more than cricket. It is part of our culture, part of our national life and that is why it is so tremendously important to national development as well, and moreover, it has inspired literature and historians and music,” said President Ramotar, who referred to Dave Martin’s Cricket in the Jungle. President Ramotar regaled his audience which also included BCB president Keith Foster, former Secretary Mortimer George and several Under-19 cricketers including Shimron Hetmyer and Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai, of his memories of matches seen in days of yore. “Cricket inspires things in our country, with cricketers going on to be role models for other youths. I recall being in Canada when Basil Butcher was honoured there and that alone speaks of the inspiration cricketers give to the world back then, amidst the fight against colonialism.”
He told of seeing a lot of Test players from Berbice, while admitting that he never saw their first Test player John Trim, but felt there was nothing sweeter to watch than a Basil Butcher on-drive, or to remember his doublehundred against England. “I have had the good fortune of seeing a lot of Berbice cricketers and I have seen the best of them, with the only one who reached greatness that I have not seen is John Trim. But I have seen, for the first time when I witnessed a cricket match at Bourda in 1960, I remember the electricity in the air as Kanhai stepped onto the field. “Still have that picture in my mind, of Kanhai walking to the crease, kerchief around his neck, sleeves buttoned down and from the first ball he signalled his intention with a boundary, as he added for the first time, 100-odd with Sir Gary Sobers who went onto to score a century while Kanhai made 55,” said President Ramotar. He said the cricket fraternity in Berbice must thank GuySuCo for their tangible and unwavering support given to the game, adding that not enough credit is given to that entity. “I don’t think enough credit is given to sugar for its contribution made to cricket in our country. It has been extremely important for the development of cricket and if you follow Berbice cricket closely, you would see that the star players came out of the estates which supported them to create that. “Now that we are at the point of reorganising and reconstructing the sugar industry, we cannot fail, as sugar still has a part to play with the development of our country, not only in cricket, but other areas as well, as they are the most responsible corporate member in our society, contributing more than any other corporate entity.” President Ramotar applauded the BCB on their achievements over the years, amidst the changes being made in the game, hence the Government’s investment in the Ancient County, pointing out the lights that were recently installed and commissioned at the Albion Sports Club, adding that the BCB can count on the support of his Government, who will
continue to work along with them. President Ramotar also thanked George, for his work done, in reference to the former Secretary taking his time to document in four books, the history and achievements of cricket and cricketers coming out of the Ancient County of Berbice. In the preview on the list of activities planned for this month by the Special Events Committee of the BCB, which is headed by its Public Relations Officer Hilbert Foster, the burly Foster said the BCB’s office which is located in New Amsterdam, will be renamed the Leslie Amsterdam Office, with such a ceremony set to take place next Monday. On that same day, a Hall of Fame for Administrators will be launched while distribution of schoolbags for less fortunate children will be done, with the BCB unveiling two days later, a portrait of their greatest Test player - Rohan Kanhai. Several other activities, including donation of cricket balls to four clubs, hampers to 75 less fortunate families, feeding of orphans and donation of television set, renaming of pavilions and dressing rooms and a quiz competition are all part of the month-long celebration. After launching George’s two books, and receiving well wishes from Bisnauth and Armogan, along with Dr Anthony and Dr Ramsammy, the BCB hosted their Tribute to Heroes Programme, which saw Oscar Ramjeet, Bobby Deonarine, Sam Suchit and Milton Pydanna being honoured. They also honoured their past and present Test players, with Foster crying foul at the no-show of their present crop of Test players - Veerasammy Permaul, Assad Fudadin, Narsingh Deonarine, Devendra Bishoo and Sewnarine Chattergoon calling it disrespect and scant disregard to the hard work being done by the BCB to honour them. The presentation of Diamond Jubilee souvenirs was done to past and present administrators of the BCB, before Angela Haniff moved the vote of thanks and later invited the guests to partake in the anniversary dinner, after cutting the cake with President Ramotar.
Zimbabwe humiliation rips open Australian scars MELBOURNE, Australia ,(Reuters) - Australia’s shock one-day international defeat to minnows Zimbabwe has raised alarm bells five months before the country co-hosts the World Cup while exposing the team’s continued struggles to master spin bowling. Coming off a long break following Test series wins against England and South Africa, Australia arrived in Harare for the triangular one-day tournament with South Africa refreshed and optimistic, but the three-wicket loss to Zimbabwe will have done little for the team’s confidence after defeat to the Proteas and an injury to captain Michael Clarke. Sunday’s loss was Australia’s first in 30 years to Zimbabwe and the nation’s media ranked it highly among the country’s deepest cricketing humiliations. “There’s one word that’s been used more than any other to describe Australia’s defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe on Sunday,” one critic wrote on a News Ltd website yesterday. “Embarrassing”. Clarke, who battled to an unbeaten 68 and retired hurt during a paltry innings of 209, was heading home to Australia yesterday for scans on his injured hamstring, leaving his team mates with some harsh parting words. “It’s a terrible performance, there’s no doubt about it,” he told reporters. “Forget the opposition, I think we played some average cricket at best throughout the whole game. “We play like that we’re not going to beat any team
so whatever team’s selected we have to perform better than we did today. “The players will be having a think about their performance as well.” During the Test series wins over the home summer,
Australia coach Darren Lehmann Australia’s vaunted pace attack papered over the cracks of the team’s batting lineup, but Zimbabwe spinners Sean Williams and Prosper Utseya captured four cheap wickets and slowed the scoring to a trickle as the tourists’ vulnerability to disciplined spin re-appeared. “I think credit needs to go to Zimbabwe,” Clarke added. “I think their spinners bowled really well to us, they used the conditions really well. “Obviously we didn’t bat very well at all. And then they played spin really well. They bowled a lot better than we. “We continually talk about facing spin bowling as an Australian team. It seems to be an area that we continue to struggle in and today’s another example of that.” EMBARRASSING Since taking over from
the sacked Mickey Arthur last year, laid-back Australia coach Darren Lehmann has had little cause to berate his team but was incensed by the bloodless performance at the Harare Sports Club. “There are probably not enough expletives in the English language at the moment for the way I’m feeling,” Lehmann said in quotes published by News Ltd media yesterday. “It’s just embarrassing for everyone involved in the touring party, and I hope they’re hurting. “They should be. “We’ve got to learn really quickly because teams are going to see that and they’re going to react to it.” Repairing dressing room harmony has been a corner-stone of Lehmann’s tenure, but a frustrated Clarke made rare criticism of selectors for omitting middle order batsman Steven Smith. “I think our middle order batting certainly missed Steven Smith,” he said. “He’s a very good player of spin. It was disappointing he wasn’t out there to combat those conditions but that was the way the selectors went. “It’s tough for the selectors to pick what you think is the best 11. “Fortunately they won’t have to worry about me in the next game, so there’s one they won’t have to worry about.” Clarke will hope to be fit for the one-day series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates starting October 7. Australia’s next match in the triangular series is today against South Africa when George Bailey is expected to lead the side.
India rise to No. 1 in ODIs INDIA have risen to No.1 in the ODI rankings, while Australia toppled to fourth place after their defeat to Zimbabwe on Sunday. Elton Chigumbura lifting his No. 10-ranked team to only their second success against Australia - the first in 31 years - has meant South Africa and Sri Lanka have leapfrogged the free-falling Australia, who were joint-No. 1 with India ahead of that match. India had equalled Australia’s points tally following their
victory at Trent Bridge, in the third ODI against England on August 30. However, the situation at the top remains quite fluid. India will retain their place at No. 1 if they beat England in the remaining two matches of the Royal London ODI series and Australia beat South Africa at least once over the coming week - either today or, if they make the final, on Saturday. South Africa will move to the top if they win their two remaining league games
and the subsequent final, even if India win the fourth and fifth ODIs. Australia, too, have a chance at reclaiming No. 1 if they beat South Africa in their remaining league stage game and again in the final. Concurrently, though, India would have to lose at least one of their two ODIs to England. India had been the No. 1 side when they visited New Zealand in January, but lost the top rank after failing to win a match there. (ESPN Cricinfo)

Maradona steals show from fellow Argentine Pope Francis By Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY, Rome (Reuters) - Pope Francis normally has no competition for attention when he is in a room but it was different yesterday when another larger-thanlife Argentine - soccer great Diego Maradona attended a papal event. Maradona was among some 400 people who attended a special papal audience for players and organisers of a charity match that was being played last night in Rome to promote peace and inter-religious cooperation. The pope read an address to the participants in the Vatican’s large audience hall and then each of them filed past the pontiff to greet and have their picture taken with the leader of the world’s approximately 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. Maradona, who led Argentina to World Cup victory in 1986, and played for Italian side Napoli, sat in the front row waiting his turn to greet the pope.
As the participants walked down the steps of the stage to return to their seats many of them stopped to greet Maradona and have their pictures taken with him immediately afterwards. When his turn came to greet the pope, Maradona
former Argentina captain and coach told reporters, adding that Francis had inspired him to return to religion after many years. “We should all imitate Pope Francis. If each one of us gives something to someone else, no-one in the

(Credit: REUTERS/Alessandro Bianchi) chatted with his compatriot longer than most of the others and gave him a light blue-and-white jersey with his Argentine national team number - 10 - and the name Francisco on it. “Pope Francis is even bigger than Maradona,” the
world would be starving,” said Maradona, who wore a dark suit to the papal audience. In his address to the participants, Francis said he hoped last night’s match at Rome’s Olympic Stadium would help lead to “peaceful
co-existence among all people, excluding every discrimination based on race, language or religion. “Discrimination is contempt,” the pope said, adding that religions had a large role to play in bringing peace to the world and that sport, particularly soccer, could be a vehicle for peace. Last night’s match, which was based on a suggestion by the pope, includes active and retired players of various religions. Besides Maradona, participants at the audience in the Vatican included Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and midfielder Andrea Pirlo, former Italy striker Roberto Baggio and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. The proceeds will go to Scholas, a project backed by the pope that aims to connect schools and educational networks from different cultures and beliefs from around the world and the Pupi Foundation, started by former footballer Javier Zanetti to help poor children in Argentina.
Brazil, Colombia clash adds spice to friendlies By Brian Homewood BERNE, (Reuters) - Brazil and Colombia, the dust barely settled following their brutal World Cup quarter-final, clash again and there will also be a replay of the final as Germany host Argentina in this week’s international friendlies. Dunga begins his second stint as Brazil coach, while the return of Colombia forward Radamel Falcao and a likely meeting of Neymar and Juan Camilo Zuniga adds further spice to the match at the Sun Life stadium in Miami. Elsewhere, Gerardo Martino will take charge of Argentina for the first time since replacing Alejandro Sabella while Italy and Netherlands, who meet each other in Bari, and Japan, who face Uruguay, also start life under new coaches. Brazil’s disastrous World Cup led to widespread calls for a fresh start and a new approach but they seem to have done the opposite by bringing back Dunga, who was in charge from 2006 to 2010 during a period when many felt that Brazil stagnated. Far from a clearout, Dunga’s first squad has included 11 players from the World Cup, among them defenders David Luiz and Marcelo
who were considered two of the main culprits in the 7-1 semi-final defeat to Germany. There has even been a recall for Robinho, whose career has been on the slide for several years, as a late replacement for the injured Hulk. But critics were mildly encouraged by the selection of attacking midfielders such as Philippe Coutinho, Ricardo Goulart, Everton Ribeiro and Diego Tardelli and the absence of a lumbering target man such as Jo or Fred. Although the match on Friday is billed a friendly, Brazil’s 2-1 World Cup quarter-final win in Fortaleza left a bitter taste on both sides. Colombia claimed they were bullied as the hosts committed 31 fouls while Brazil were furious after Zuniga lunged into Neymar’s back, fracturing a vertebrae and ending his participation in the competition. Both players have been named in their respective squads. Colombia coach Jose Pekerman, who has renewed his contract until the 2018 World Cup, has kept the nucleus of the squad which performed so well in Brazil and is also able to welcome back Falcao who missed the tournament through injury.
GOMEZ RETURN Lionel Messi looks likely to miss tomorrow’s game in Dusseldorf, Argentina’s first since the World Cup final loss to Germany, after Barcelona said he suffered a hamstring strain in the 1-0 win over Villarreal on Sunday. The news was greeted with suspicion by Argentine media who pointed out that Messi played the full 90 minutes without showing any obvious signs of injury. Germany coach Joachim Loew has included 18 members of his World Cup squad while strikers Marco Reus, who missed the tournament due to injury, and Mario Gomez, who was overlooked, return. Italy’s new coach Antonio Conte, faced with a rebuilding job after their group stage exit in Brazil, has dropped maverick forward Mario Balotelli against the Dutch where Guus Hiddink starts a second spell in charge at the of 67. Spain, still under Vicente del Bosque, visit France in Paris on Thursday for their first match since their group stage World Cup exit, Belgium host Australia in Brussels the same evening and two of the World Cup success stories, Chile and Mexico, meet in San
Francisco on Friday. South Korea are without a coach for Venezuela’s visit to Bucheon on Friday after they were turned down by Dutchman Bert van Marwijk. Instead, three local coaches will share the job including former national team midfielder Shin Tae-young. Noel Sanvincente will be in charge of the South Americans for the first time. Mexican Javier Aguirre will make his debut on the bench for Japan at home to Uruguay in Sap poro on Friday while his counterpart Oscar Tabarez will miss the game after undergoing a back operation. Uruguay have not called up Luis Suarez, banned for nine competitive internationals for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup, even though he is eligible to play in friendly matches. England are expecting their lowest Wembley attendance since the rebuilt stadium was re-opened in 2007 for Norway’s visit tomorrow. English FA general secretary Alex Horne said only the lower tier of seats will be used for an expected crowd of between 35 000 and 40 000.

Djokovic, Murray in quarters clash, Serena advances By Larry Fine NEW YORK, USA (Reuters) The tension mounted and temperatures soared at the U.S. Open tennis yesterday as top seed Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray set up a sensational quarter-final, and Serena Williams made a 2014 grand slam breakthrough. Temperatures neared 90 degrees (32 C) in Flushing Meadows and hovered around 100 (38 C) on the hard courts in high humidity that tested players. The sweltering conditions nearly sent out promising Canadian Eugenie Bouchard as the 20-year-old seventh seed had ice applied to her arms and legs and had her blood pressure checked during her fourth-round match before she was eliminated 7-6(2), 6-4 by Ekaterina Makarova. World number one Djokovic beat the heat by charging past 22nd seed Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 6-1, 7-5, 6-4. “It’s important obviously in these particular conditions not to get carried away by frustration of heat,” said Djokovic. “And especially after long rallies try to get extra breath. “Obviously when I won second set I wanted to get the job done in three.” Murray also made straight-sets work out of his clash against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, posting a 7-5, 7-5, 6-4 victory over the ninthseeded Frenchman who had beaten him in the quarterfinals at the run-up tournament in Toronto. Though Murray is seeded eighth after a sub-par season following last year’s back surgery, the Scotsman is approaching top form and has some positive memories of playing Wimbledon champion Djokovic in the grand slams. Murray beat the Serb to win the 2012 U.S. Open and the 2013 Wimbledon for his two grand slam titles. Top-seeded Serena Williams turned back frustrations over a disappointing grand slam season by beating Kaia Kanepi to reach the quarter-finals. World number one Williams is gunning for her third U.S. Open title in a row but for the moment saw her 6-3, 6-3
victory over the Estonian as an important hurdle after failing to get past the fourth round in this year’s other grand slams. “I finally made a quarterfinal this year!” she shouted to the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd with arms upraised. “Glad to do it in New York.” Williams will meet Italian 11th seed Flavia Pennetta, a semi-finalist last year who advanced with a 7-5, 6-2 win against 29th-seeded Australian Casey Dellacqua. PUNISHING CONDITIONS Russian 17th seed Makarova, a dangerous opponent in the majors, produced another upset with her defeat of Bouchard, who wilted under the punishing conditions after showing her immense promise in reaching semi-finals of the year’s first three slams. A tense opening set played under a blazing sun that went to a tie-break and took 50 minutes to decide appeared to drain the Canadian. During the changeover at 3-2 in the second set, a distressed Bouchard called for a medical time out and trainers rushed onto the baking Louis Armstrong court to rub her arms and legs with bags of ice while checking her blood pressure. For a moment it seemed Bouchard would not be able to continue as she covered her face with her hands and wept. After regaining her composure, Bouchard gathered her resolve and returned to action but was quickly broken. The battling Canadian, however, refused to throw in the towel, immediately breaking back to get back on serve. But Makarova stepped up the pressure and in the end Bouchard ran out of steam, the Russian breaking her again at 5-4 and ending the ordeal with a sizzling winner down the line. “It was really a tough match, with these conditions,” Makarova told the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd. “We were fighting really hard. It was a great match.” The Russian, who has beaten the likes of Angelique Kerber, Agnieszka Radwanska and Vera Zvonareva in grand slam events when they were ranked among the top seven in the world, will next play either 16th seed Victoria Azarenka or Aleksandra Krunic.

Hull City striker to line up for Antigua in qualifiers ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) – Hull City forward Calaum Jahraldo-Martin is one of eight players expected to represent Antigua and Barbuda in the first round of Caribbean Cup qualifiers starting here tomorrow.

The Bulls made a vital third-quarter run and led 5544 and staved off the Raiders at the end to come away with a 63-62 win. Terron Welch lead with 23, supported by Kevin Easton 11 and Travin Dryden 10 for the Bulls.

Chanderpaul sends warning with brilliant 183 BASSETERRE, St Kitts, (CMC) – Veteran lefthander Shiv Chanderpaul issued a stern warning to Bangladesh ahead of Saturday’s start of the first Test, when he hammered a top class hundred in the drawn tour Match here yesterday. The West Indies batsman carved out a brilliant 183 as St Kitts and Nevis and Bangladesh played to a predictable draw on the
final day of the three-day game at Warner Park. Resuming the day on 232 for four, St Kitts were eventually dismissed for 399 in response to Bangladesh’s first innings of 377 for seven declared. Chanderpaul, who resumed the day unbeaten on 70, reached his hundred before lunch when he square drove seamer Robiul Islam to the point boundary for his 12th four.
He required just over 4-1/2 hours and 207 balls, to reach three figures. Overall, Chanderpaul faced 315 deliveries, batted just shy of seven hours and counted 20 fours and two sixes. He put on 94 for the fifth wicket with Jeremiah Louis who scored 35, as St Kitts and Nevis reached lunch strongly at 328 for six. Chanderpaul was eventu-
ally last out, taken at cover by Shuvagata Hom off Rubel, forcing an early tea. Off-spinner Shuvagata Hom (3-48), seamer Rubel Hossain (3-90) and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam (3-109), all picked up three wickets apiece.

The 34-year-old, who was arrested last November over his involvement in a match-fixing scandal, is now set to appear in the Cannock Magistrates Court today. “The Crown Prosecution Service’s Organised Crime Division authorised the charges on the basis that there is a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest,” an NCA spokesman was quoted as saying. Facey’s charge follows the National Crime Agency’s ongoing investigation into the
scandal, which has already seen footballer Michael Boateng and businessmen Chann Sankaran and Krishna Ganeshan, convicted and jailed on the same charge. Sankaran and Ganeshan were hit with five-year sentences while Boateng received a 16-month term. The well-travelled Facey played for 14 different clubs in a 16-year career, including Hull City, West Bromwich Albion and Bolton, for whom he made ten Premier League appearances. Facey was born in Huddersfield but qualified to play for Grenada because his mother was Grenadian. He debuted for the Spice Boys in 2009 and made 15 appearances.

EBFA/Stag Beer Div.1 League
Grove, Soesdyke secure full points TITLE hopefuls Grove Hi Tech and Soesdyke Falcons both secured full points in their latest play of the Stag Beer-sponsored East Bank Football Association division-one league second-round, played at the Grove Playfield last Sunday. Grove eased to their 10th win of the season, a comfortable 5-2 result against Kuru Kururu Warriors, halting the excellent run of the Soesdyke/Linden Highway-based side who recorded back-toback wins previously. The result was never in doubt for the Grove boys who have been very clinical as they continue to strengthen their claim for the top prize of $300 000 and the Stag Beer trophy. The Warriors stood up for the opening 28 minutes before their defence was breached compliments of a Moses Fraser strike. Colin Lancaster tucked in the first of his double, two minutes after the opening goal to double
the advantage while inspirational captain and forward, Domini Garnett stretched the lead to 3-0 in the 40th minute. The Warriors were able to reduce the deficit two minutes before the break when Ryan Scott found the back of the net. As was the case in the first half, Grove continued their dominance of proceedings. Lancaster achieved his double in the 53rd minute as Grove restored the threegoal advantage, 4-1. The icing was put on the cake 67 minutes on when John Matthews added his name to the score sheet. Kuru Kururu added another goal to their tally on the stroke of fulltime, Cordell Johnson the scorer, his third goal in as many matches. Sunday’s opening encounter saw Soesdyke Falcons running away easy victors over Diamond United with goals either side of play to win 2-0. Troy Austin netted in the 10th minute while John Gordon completed the win in the 53rd minute.
