More ‘Town Hall’ meetings planned to engage Guyanese on Anti-Money Laundering Bill
AS PART of government’s effort to ensure the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLCFT) Bill, several more ‘Town Hall’ type public meetings will be held to engage stakeholders around Guyana. Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, told the Guyana Chronicle yesterday that the meetings are intended to be a continuation of the government consultative efforts in respect of the amendments which are proposed by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU”. He said, “We believe that they will affect the life and welfare of the people of this country in a very significant way in terms of their ability to carry around cash and jewellry and therefore they ought to be consulted and ATTORNEY GENERAL fully apprised.” ANIL NANDLALL Nandlall pointed out that the people of Guyana are accustomed to transacting their business and to have in their possession cash and jewelry in a free manner. The AG said, “There is now an attempt to deprive them of that freedom. We believe it is our duty as a Government to ensure that we inform the people about this denial of their freedom, as well as who is responsible for this. “We also intend to continue to inform the citizens of our country of the importance of having this Bill passed un-amended as quickly as possible, so as to insulate Guyana and its citizens from the devastating sanctions and repercussions,which will follow if the Bill is not passed and to inform them who are obstructing the Bill from being passed and the basis, as well as reason, for such obstruction,” Minister Nandlall said Two meetings are billed for today, one at the Lusignan Community Centre, in Region 4, starting at 17:00hrs and another at Teacher
Veeren’s residence at 18:00hrs. On Friday, Essequibo residents have an opportunity to have their voices heard at a 10:00hrs meeting scheduled for the Anna Regina Town Council auditorium in Region 2. Region 3 residents will also be able to make their contributions the next day as well, at a meeting scheduled for 17:00hrs , at the Greenwich Park Primary School. The meetings are intended to inform and educate residents in various communities about the AMLCFT Bill, which has been not been passed in the National Assembly due to delays by the political Opposition. Already town hall meetings were held in, Linden, Berbice and Bartica with residents of these communities voicing their outrage at the proposals by the APNU. On February 28 last, Guyana missed a deadline to submit a report to the Caribbean Financial Action Task force (CFATF)
showing that it has been able to correct several deficiencies. This now means that Guyana is in a position where it has not presented to CFATF anything different from what was deliberated on in November, where they said unless these changes are made to the legislative structure, then they will recommend that Guyana be subjected to a Financial Action Task Force/International Cooperation Group Review. The bill has been in limbo for about 11 months with no support from the ANPU, which recently came with two proposals, not to the actual bill, but to the Principal Act. These amendments are currently in their drafting stages. Various other stakeholders across Guyana, including the Private Sector Commission, the National Competitiveness Council and religious bodies have been calling for the passage of the bill as Guyana now faces a greater risk of being blacklisted internationally.
Education Ministry announces start of enrolment in nursery schools for September term By Asif Hakim THE Ministry of Education has announced that enrollment in nursery schools for the September term has commenced. But unlike what obtained several years ago, children who are born on or before June 30 will be allowed to enroll in the year they turn three. Since initial announcement of the change in 2013, significant strides have been made, with parents being able to see their children given a chance for an early start in acquiring a sound education. The Education Ministry is encouraging parents and guardians to get their children placed at a school close to where they live. Registration forms are on the ministry’s website to facilitate a smoother and faster process. The ministry wishes to remind parents and guardians that they should have their children’s birth certificates and clinic cards on hand when going to register their children, as this would save them time. Parents/guardians should also be equipped with their National Identification Cards, and some proof of their address. While maintaining its policy that children should be placed at schools closest to where they reside, the Education Ministry reiterates the point that it is the right of each child to be entitled to a nursery and primary education. Consideration will, however, be given to and for working parents who do not have a supervisor for their children at home once school ends for the day. In such cases, the child may be placed at the school closest
to where the parent or guardian works. However, with this arrangement, the ministry must be furnished with a job letter from the parent or guardian. Priority will be accorded to parents and/or guardians who work at schools; for example, teachers, vendors, cleaners, gardeners and handymen, among others, once they appeal placements for their children, since the situation would be regarded as if the child lives close to the school. Any child who was born on or before June 30, 2011 should be attending school in the new academic year beginning September 2014, the ministry advises. The Education Ministry is advocating early registration, so as to guide the process of sorting out the issues of accommodation, come September.
REMEMBERING Dr. Cheddi Jagan
“I have absolute faith in the promise that this nation has a bright future. I invite you, in this festive season of goodwill, to share my vision of a bright tomorrow. Such idealism may seem like idle talk, but I know from experience that faith in a prosperous tomorrow has moved men and women from time immemorial to achieve the impossible. This reminds me of a famous saying: ‘Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. ” Cheddi Jagan 1993

US State Dept report on drug, money laundering underscores need for AML/CFT’s passage
WHILE Guyana has not been listed as a major money laundering or drug transit territory, its failure to pass the amendments to the Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism legislation has not gone unnoticed by the U.S. Department of State’s 2014 International Narcotics Control Strategy
Report (INCSR). The report, which was released on February 28, states that Guyana has received ample warning from the Caribbean Financial Task Force (CFATF) of the risks that could flow as a result of non-passage of the said amendments, including being listed internationally as a non-compliant territory.
“Such a designation would increase the costs of Guyana’s international financial transactions and also impact insurance rates,” the 2014 report stated. The parliamentary Opposition has been going back and forth on this Bill since it was tabled in the National Assembly in March 2013. The country missed a major dead-
Guyana and Norway to lead UN process on Financing for Development THE Permanent Representatives of Guyana and Norway have been appointed by the President of the United Nations General Assembly to lead a UN process on financing for development. Ambassador George Talbot of Guyana and his Norwegian counterpart, Ambassador Geir Pedersen, have been mandated to conduct inclusive and transparent intergovernmental consultations, with the participation of major institutional stakeholders, on all issues related to the forthcoming third international conference on financing for development, including the date, format, organisation and scope of the conference. The conference will likely be held in 2015. With the United Nations currently embarked on the elaboration of a post-2015 development agenda as a successor to the Millennium Development Goals framework that has anchored the Organisation's work in development since 2000, an agreement on the means of implementation, including on financing, will be critical to the efficacy and successful implementation of the new agenda. The financing for development conference is expected to provide a holistic framework for mobilising resources from a variety of sources and for the effective use of financing for the achievement of the sustainable
development goals that will be at the core of the post-2015 development agenda. Public financing, including ODA, will remain a key component of global financing for development. The leveraging of financing from other sources, including new private sector investments, unlocking domestic resources, harnessing trade flows, and curbing illicit outflows will be among the important questions that the conference will address. The forthcoming conference will follow up and build on the Monterrey Consensus adopted at the International Conference on Financing for Development held in 2002 in Monterrey, Mexico, and the Doha Declaration which em-
anated from the 2008 Doha conference on the subject. Guyana's appointment is a reflection of the respect that the country enjoys at the United Nations, in particular on issues of sustainable development. It affords a special opportunity to contribute to the effort to update and strengthen the multilateral financing framework that could help to translate the post-2015 development agenda into meaningful outcomes for member countries. This latest Guyana-Norway collaboration at the multilateral level follows on the already established bilateral cooperation arrangement between the two countries in the promotion of sustainable development and the combat of climate change.
line to come into compliance in November last year, which resulted in its being placed on the CFATF’s regional blacklist as a result of the Opposition’s intransigence. The last deadline was February 28, by which time the country was supposed to pass and enforce the amendment Bill in order for it to be considered at the CFATF’s May plenary. Unfortunately, this deadline too was not met. Recently, CFATF’s financial advisor Roger Hernandez, while on a visit to Guyana, said that the APNU proposed amendments expose Guyana to the peril of being non-compliant.
In this year’s INCSR, several regional jurisdictions have been named among the top money laundering nations, including Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, and Haiti. The latter three, along with Jamaica, have also been listed among the major drug transit countries. The Government of Guyana’s efforts in drafting anti-gang legislation and developing an Integrated Crime Information System to monitor crime trends have also been duly recognised. Mention was made of the drafting of the new Drug Strategy Master Plan (2012-2016) by the Home Affairs Ministry. This
document is in its final stage of drafting, and upon completion, will enable Guyana to enhance its Local, Regional and International Strategies to combat drugs. The report also noted that Guyanese authorities convicted 201 persons on drug related charges during the first six months of 2013. The INCSR is an annual report by the Department of State to Congress. It describes the steps taken during the previous year by the governments of nearly 90 countries to reduce illicit narcotics production, trafficking and use. (GINA)

World powers responsible for failing to stop Syria war crimes: U.N. (Reuters) - ALL sides in Syria’s civil war are using shelling and siege tactics to punish and starve civilians and big powers bear responsibility for allowing such war crimes to persist, U.N. human rights investigators said on Wednesday. The independent investigators, presenting their latest report documenting atrocities in Syria, called again on the U.N. Security Council to refer grave violations of the rules of war to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for prosecution. “The Security Council bears responsibility for not addressing accountability and allowing the warring parties to violate these rules with total impunity,” Paulo Pinheiro, who leads the U.N. commission of inquiry, told a news conference. “One of most stark trends we have documented is the use of siege warfare, the denial of humanitarian aid, food and basic necessities such as medical care and clean water have forced people to choose between surrender and starvation.” More than 140,000 have been killed in the conflict, which enters its fourth year next week, 2.5 million refugees have fled abroad and 6.5 million people are uprooted within Syria. Divided world powers have backed both sides in the conflict and a diplomatic deadlock has exacerbated the bloodshed. Fighters and their commanders may be held accountable, but also states which transfer weapons to Syria, the report said. Syrian government forces
under President Bashar al-Assad have besieged towns including the Old City of Homs, shelling relentlessly and depriving them of food as part of a “starvation until submission” campaign, the report said. It said the Syrian air force had dropped barrel bombs on Aleppo with “shocking intensity”, killing hundreds of civilians and injuring many more. “I remember most vividly speaking to a doctor who was treating survivors of barrel bomb attacks. Some victims including infants had lost limbs,” said Pinheiro. Insurgents fighting to topple Assad, especially foreign Islamic fighters including the al-Qaeda affiliated ISIS, have stepped up attacks on civilians, taken hostages, executed prisoners and set off car bombs to spread terror, it said. The report, covering July 15-January 20, is the seventh by the United Nations since the inquiry was set up in September 2011, six months after the anti-Assad revolt began. The investigators have not been allowed into Syria, but their latest findings were based on 563 interviews conducted by Skype or by telephone with victims and witnesses still in the country or in person with refugees in surrounding countries. All sides have violated the rules of war embodied in the Geneva Conventions, according to the team of two dozen who include former U.N. war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte. It has now drawn up four confidential lists of suspects. War crimes had been com-
mitted on both sides, including torture, massacres, rapes and recruitment of child soldiers. Pinheiro, asked about Assad’s responsibility, declined to be more specific about names on the lists of suspects. “We mentioned several times the responsibility of people in high echelons in the government.” “The reports, if they were not able to ensure accountability in the present, I think that they will be important material for the future. But also our data bank and list of perpetrators that we have established,” he added. Despite some tactical gains by Syrian government forces backed by more foreign combat forces of Lebanese Hezbollah and Iraqi militia, the fighting has reached a stalemate, causing significant casualties and material losses, the report said.

Street fighting as India heads for April-May election (Reuters) - STREET clashes erupted in India after an announcement on Wednesday that parliamentary elections will start on April 7 in a race that pits Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi against the unpopular Nehru-Gandhi family’s ruling party. Chief Election Commissioner V.S. Sampath said 814 million people had registered to vote, a number exceeding the population of Europe and

a world record. Results are due on May 16. In Delhi and a regional city, supporters of a young anti-corruption party battled members of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

(Common Man) Party (AAP) during a campaign in Modi’s state of Gujarat. Small groups of supporters gathered outside BJP offices to protest his detention. “We came in a peaceful manner, we stood outside, they shut the gates. We shouted slogans: ‘Have shame Narendra Modi’,” said AAP activist Shazia Ilmi. “They started throwing stones from inside.” The BJP blamed the AAP protesters for the fighting. The election campaign coincides with growing anger among urban Indians over corruption, as well as a sense that the center-left government led by the Congress party has frittered away opportunities for rapid growth. Modi has emerged in opinion polls as the favorite to head the next government, buoyed by his strong economic track record as chief minister of Gujarat, a west coast state. “I think everyone is looking for strong leadership. This places Modi at an advantage. He’s

showing that he’s a strong leader,” said Mohan Guruswamy of the Centre for Policy Alternatives, a Delhi-based think-tank. Born of a street movement against graft scandals related to the sale of natural resources over the last decade, the AAP has also gained ground, alleging corruption in both main parties. It may not win many seats, but is setting the election agenda by harping on high utility prices and crony capitalism. Exuding self-confidence, Modi has won the support of many middle-class Indians who even a year ago would not have voted for a man accused by critics of failing to stop, or even tacitly encouraging, a spasm of Hindu-Muslim bloodshed in Gujarat in 2002. Modi has denied any wrongdoing and the Supreme Court has said there is not enough evidence to pursue investigations. However, India’s fragmented political landscape and firstpast-the-post system in parliamentary polls makes results hard to predict, meaning a BJP victory is by no means assured. Voting will be held in nine stages staggered between April 7 and May 12 to help security forces keep control. Violence, ballot-rigging and vote-buying have often marred past elections.

National Security Minister Boasts
Safest Carnival Ever
(Trinidad Guardian) NATIONAL Security Minister Gary Griffith said yesterday 2014 was one of the safest Carnivals ever and if the trend continued he would be the happiest minister alive. Griffith spoke with reporters as he toured the downtown Carnival areas Tuesday and he was accompanied by Ag Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams, Chief of Defence Staff Kenrick Maharaj and other security officers. He said: “The success speaks for itself. What he have seen here is a first whereby, the forces have worked together there has been proper collaboration, in no small part because of the National Operations Centre and you have seen the success. That is why I continue to ask all law-abiding citizens to continue to work with the law enforcement officials, provide them with that information and the success will follow.” He said the success did not just have to do with Carnival Monday and Tuesday but rather throughout the entire season. He said every day law enforcement officials put their heads together, there was a plan done based
on the threat assessment of the events, all-inclusives and Carnival functions included. “We will continue along that line and it shows that we are in the right direction,” he said. “Some people have actually complained. Some people were like they were hearing too many sirens and encountered too many road blocks but you can’t win,” he said. Griffith there were plans to increase this. “This has been the safest Carnival in a very long time and if this continues today I would be the happiest minister alive,” he quipped. Meanwhile, at the Socadrome, Williams said there was a lot of cooperation from the public and masqueraders. “We’ve had a fantastic Carnival.” We’ve had no serious complaints, but J’Ouvert there was a complain about traffic congestion on the highway. But that is expected. It has been great.” He said there was no protest from Woodbrook residents. “In my opinion it has been a success. We have the next few hours to bring closure to it. But the way it has been going it has been excellent. This year we have done more work in making the
Carnival better and we have seen the results. “Far more officers have been deployed this year. Hope that next year we can take it to another level,” he added. Griffith said the new Socadrome venue made it easier for police to get to different locations in a faster time. He promised that the 2015 Carnival will be better. He said there will be an immediate post mortem to look at what needs to be improved. He also voiced concerns about minors drinking alcohol in all-inclusive bands and at the possibility of banning glass bottles. A glass bottle fight among two groups in Port-of-Spain marred the Monday J’Ouvert celebrations. The incident occurred between French Street and Adam Smith Square on Ariapita Ave. Former mayor Louis Lee Sing had called for the banning of glass bottles in the Carnival celebrations.
Challenges facing T&T in curbing drug trade (Trinidad Guardian) WASHINGTON—THE United States says corruption, lack of sustainability of government funded programmes as well as gaps in legislative and organisational implementation continue to be challenges facing Trinidad and Tobago in its efforts to curb the trafficking and use of illegal narcotics. The US Department of State in its just released “2014 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report” notes that the location of the oil-rich twin island republic, porous borders, and direct transportation routes to Europe, West Africa, Canada and the United States make it an ideal location for cocaine and marijuana transshipment. Washington said that marijuana is produced in Trinidad and Tobago and is the most widely used drug domestically, but other drugs, including cocaine, heroin, solvents, pharma-
Finally! Gov’t approves JCF, ISCF merger …move will put more cops on the streets, say Bunting, Ellington
(Jamaica Observer)MORE than a decade after it was first recommended, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) and its main auxiliary Island Special Constabulary Force (ISCF) are to be merged, a move that the authorities say will place more cops on the streets as the country battles its nagging crime problem. Shortly after news emerged yesterday that the Cabinet had approved the merger, National Security Minister Peter Bunting and Police Commissioner Owen Ellington highlighted a number of positives from the decision. “We will eliminate a lot of the inefficiencies of having two command structures, separate offices, separate administration,” Bunting told the Jamaica Observer at Emancipation Park during the National Safe Schools Peace Day Concert attended by hundreds of students and staged to promote peace in schools. “By combining them you will release more personnel to be on the streets patrolling communities, working in crime control and crime prevention,” said Bunting. Commissioner Ellington, in a later interview with the Observer, agreed. “I think the public stands to benefit greatly from it,” Ellington said, adding that the merger will increase the strength of the JCF to just under its 12,000 establishment. “It should result in a net increase in the numbers that are deployed on the streets as we give up a lot of administrative and support services that are duplicated because we had to maintain two command structures,” Ellington said. Noting that the merger will be effected during the 2014/2015 financial year, Bunting said the financial implication would be minimal. “The truth of the matter is that the salaries were almost identical before. There will be a marginal top up for the ISCF members; but in the scheme of things, it is not even one-tenth of the budget of the police force,” the minister said. “Salaries will be the same for the rank equivalent. We have done studies in terms of rank equivalent and they will come in on the JCF scale of salaries. They will carry their benefits, the years of service will count towards their pension, etc and they will be fully integrated into the various divisional formation and branches,” he said.

ceuticals, and ecstasy, are also available. It said interdiction efforts are robust and continuing and though overall seizures in 2013 increased from 2012, the Trinidad and Tobago government continues to struggle to coordinate and adequately fund its counternarcotics efforts. “Rehabilitation facilities are insufficient and under- resourced to meet local demand for treatment. Lack of sustainability of government funded programmes, particularly in the area of demand reduction, corruption, and gaps in legislative and organisational implementation remain challenges to the country’s efforts to curb the trafficking and use of illegal narcotics.” Washington said that while the country continues to demonstrate a high level of commitment to drug control by fostering bilateral cooperation and intelligence sharing with countries of origin, transit and destination, “there is continuing distrust within and between units of law enforcement, the military, and the intelligence community preventing effective information sharing and collaboration. “Strict adherence to rigid and often outdated methodologies by mid-level officials, as well as restrictive decision making systems that do not empower functionaries, limit the ability of these critical organisations to innovate and keep pace with highly flexible criminal organisations. “Even with increases to the national security budget in 2013, counternarcotics units continue to lack sufficient specialised equipment and personnel, and regularly request support from international donors,” the report noted. Washington said marijuana is the only known locally-produced illicit drug and that production is concentrated in small farms in the heavily forested, mountainous regions. It said local producers compete with imports from St Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Guyana, and Venezuela and that other illicit drugs–primarily cocaine, but also small amounts of heroin and ecstasy– are traf-
ficked through the country by transnational organised crime groups operating in Trinidad and Tobago. “There has been an increase in Jamaican nationals within Trinidad and Tobago bartering shipments of marijuana for cocaine for re-export. In addition, increased government eradication efforts have driven up the local price of marijuana, causing some traffickers to shift their focus from cocaine to marijuana. “ Washington said law enforcement entities in Port-ofSpain seized 110.6 kilogrammes of cocaine and 3.7 metric tonnes of marijuana between January and September, 2013. “Approximately 328,600 mature marijuana trees were also destroyed during this period. Higher seizure rates could indicate increased efforts by and a greater ability of law enforcement officers to detect trafficking. “It may also indicate an increase in the volume of product being trafficked through Trinidad and Tobago, which would be consistent with reports that project an increase in trafficking through the Caribbean as a result of counternarcotics efforts in Central America and Mexico,” the report said, noting, however, that prosecution and conviction rates for narcotics offenses are low. “While 4,027 people were arrested for possession and another 468 for trafficking in 2013, only 58 small scale traffickers were convicted during the year.” Washington said the entities and individuals working to combat narcotics in Trinidad and Tobago face considerable institutional challenges that impede their effectiveness. “Senior leaders have not been successful in translating political will to combat trafficking into operational effectiveness. To raise conviction rates and deter traffickers, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago should implement reforms to expedite prosecutions, revise outdated laws and standard operating procedures, and establish an evidence-based criminal justice system,” it added.

Alliance is sure on the move in Berbice --Starring a psychotic herbalist and a gossippy lawyer
EDITORIAL
Heroes of Guyana’s Independence and Republican status
TODAY marks the 17th death anniversary of the Liberator of Guyana and Father of the Nation, Dr. Cheddi Jagan, and the Chronicle reflects, in a brief way, on the life and times of Dr. Jagan, and his vehicle for achieving freedom for Guyana: the PPP. In December 2010, the PPP brought to an end its year-long celebratory activities to mark its 60 years of existence, and in retrospect, and of primary importance, homage must also be paid to the people whose lives were martyred in the struggle for dignity and freedom for the working-class people of Guyana, especially the Enmore Martyrs, whose death so moved a young and idealistic Cheddi Jagan, that he vowed to dedicate his entire life to “the cause of the struggle of the Guyanese people against bondage and exploitation.” The legacy of care and love for Guyana and the Guyanese people was entrusted by the Jagans to an equally dynamic and visionary young man, Bharrat Jagdeo, whose potential for magnificent leadership they had the vision and foresight to recognise. And while there was vehement opposition to their choice on many fronts then, today, the world has taken cognizance of their perspicacity at placing into the hands of a then very untested and untried young man all they aspired for this country. Thus, while they gracefully bowed to their own mortality, they did not abandon their cause to the fates or destiny, but continued to guide and nurture the welfare of the nation to which they had dedicated their entire adult lives through the strong and visionary leadership of Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, who has achieved international recognition for Guyana, thereby eradicating the dark image of Jonestown from the silhouette of this nation’s identity within the international consciousness as a passionate advocate of humanity and the Earth, for which he was presented with the Champion of the Earth Award in 2010 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Former President Jagdeo has said that we have to forget the past that has caused this nation much pain, grief, and developmental retrogression, and endeavour to carve a better country for future generations, because the past should only be used for analytic purposes. But when Guyana’s past and present are being re-written to make villains into heroes, and vice versa, by those with vested interests, then, for the edification of posterity, it is incumbent upon propagators of truth to put the dynamics into perspective, and let the readers judge for themselves, instead of having persons with agendas restructure the landscape of this nation’s history, to the detriment of future generations. The PPP’s battle song, “O Fighting Men” is as relevant now as it was then, because the struggle continues, and the PPP and its affiliate arms, the Women’s Progressive Organisation (WPO) and the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO), have no dearth of the fighting spirit that has kept the PPP unwaveringly and unerringly on the path carved in the footsteps of the Father of the Guyanese Nation and spiritual head of the PPP, Dr. Cheddi Jagan. The governing party has been integral to carving an identity
THE AFC’s weekly programme, ‘Alliance on the Move’ on DTV 8, has now become a shameless attempt to hoodwink gullible Berbicians, but thank God, this category is ‘blessed’ with only a few myopic individuals who climax their Saturdays by viewing garbage, wicked gossips and lies which are peddled as ‘Issues of the People’. Even as a member of the AFC, I had found this programme so deficient in its content and so flawed in its structure and presentation that I had complained to the leader of the AFC, Khemraj Ramjattan, who had promised to have more ‘faces from Georgetown’, and to make the programme more in line with party ‘politics’. But, lo and behold, his attempt to do that resulted in the host threatening to tender his resignation from the party. The ‘herbal psychologist’ and the ‘gossip’ lawyer Moreover, the goodly ‘doctor’ claimed that it was his programme, and that he was paying for it. (This doctor got qualified as a psychologist and is practising herbal medicine!) This was later found to be untrue. The programme was entirely financed by an AFC well-wisher who wanted to remain anonymous. When Ramjattan got wind of this, the name of the programme was immediately changed from ‘Issues of the People’ to ‘ Alliance on the Move’. Unfortunately, the faecal content of this programme has remained unchanged! Now we have two hosts from Berbice: A ‘psychological herbal doctor’ and a ‘gossip’ lawyer or liar? They have now taken ‘Alliance on the Move’ to new depths of depravity and deceit. They have now taken an evil delight in making knavish and disparaging personal remarks about whomever they feel threatened and insecure about, and this they supplement with taunts, sarcasm, innuendoes and mordacious lies. This type of irrational behaviour hinges on moral depravity, and a complete absence of intelligence! The ‘gossip’ lawyer should know that ‘argumentum ad hominem’ is a fallacy; you need evidence to argue a case! RECOGNITION ISSUES Again, the leader of the AFC unsuccessfully tried to ‘rein in his beasts of burden’. The ‘ gossip’ lawyer resigned because his ‘braying’ was not recognised.

TOWARDS the end of October of 2013, electricity service to my home was fittingly disconnected by GPL for non-payment of charges. On November 1, 2013, I paid the current charges, all arrears, and the required reconnection fee. Service was not reconnected until November 15, 2013, and that after at least two reports to the PUC, and the filing of a claim to be rewarded as the law provides. To date, my account has not been credited with the $5,000 which officials of the PUC indicated I was due to benefit from.

and a future for Guyana and its once very suppressed people who did not achieve independence even after having been granted the instruments of independence by Britain, until October 5, 1992, rightfully hailed as “The Dawn of a New Era”. The story of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is the saga of the amazing journey of Dr. Cheddi and Mrs. Janet Jagan, two dynamic and visionary persons from very diverse cultures, who merged their lives and efforts to carve, through the grindstone of adversity, a future of promise and hope for the long-suffering Guyanese people, and the men and women who joined with them at different stages of the eventful journey that is slowly but surely fructifying into making that future one of Peace, Progress, and Prosperity (PPP).
programmes from Georgetown. His co-host pleaded a strong case in favour of the ‘gossip’ lawyer and, eventually, he was placated. He was ‘guaranteed’ non-interference from the boys in GT! He came back with more venom and asinine disposition than before. The ‘herbal psychologist’ had tutored him well. The two are now making the ‘Alliance Cart’ move with renewed vigour and vitality! What a team! The ‘donkey cart boys’ in New Amsterdam are extravagantly envious of them! ‘THE AML/CFT BILL’S NOT IMPORTANT’ Last Saturday, the doctor confused himself and his viewers in his usual inimitable and effortless manner. Among the many incoherent babbles he was dishing out to his loyal few was that “ the anti-moneylaundering bill was not important for our country, since who does do moneylaundering will be affected.” I was dumbfounded by this deliberate lie and misrepresentation. The Kaieteur News and the Stabroek News, which he loves to quote from, carried many articles highlighting the dangers of not passing this vital Bill. For example, in the November 22, 2013, edition of the Kaieteur News, it was emphatically stated that “The CFATF decision will affect payments for oil, family remittances, payment for goods and services and a host of other transactions that could virtually cripple trade.” Furthermore, he loves to quote, or rather misquote, Ralph Ramkarran. If he could find some time from his ‘busy schedule’, he should read what Ralph Ramkarran said in the March 2 edition of the Stabroek News. He reiterated the position of the masses when he stated, without ambiguity, that “The losers and victims of the failure to pass the legislation will be the people of Guyana.” He further prognosticated, with regard to new elections, that “if the AML/CFT legislation is the occasion for the elections, it (the Opposition) will be on the back foot in the campaign, being accused of sabotaging the country.” The good doctor should pay some more heed to the sources he depends on for the veracity of his evidence! So ‘Doc’, is the Bill important or not? You can ask your buddy, Moses! CHARACTER ASSASSINATION The entire programme is replete with feeble attempts by the hosts to discredit people, without having thoroughly investigated the claims made by callers . As soon as a caller says something that is anti-government, the hosts will pounce upon what was said and start their personal attacks on the President, the Home Affairs Minister, the Minister of Agriculture or the Police Commander. Then the taunts and sarcasm will start to flow. I want to ask these guys a simple question: Would Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela or Cheddi Jagan have behaved in such a manner towards their political opponents? Who are the role models of these guys? By the way, both of these persons claim to be devout Hindus, and would frequent Mandirs and Satsanghs. Are these hypocritical gestures? The goodly doctor even claimed to be a vegetarian once (But his close associates know better!). CONCLUSION I joined the AFC in 2005; I spoke on the political platforms during the 2011 General Elections, but I committed the cardinal sin of exposing fraud, theft , cronyism and corruption within the AFC. I should have kept my mouth shut and waited until I resigned and then expose their wrongdoings. But unfortunately, I strongly believe in the principles of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Cheddi Jagan, and, above all, the Prophet Muhammad, who said that when things go wrong, we should change it with our hands, or speak out against it or hate it with our hearts. But the last is the weakest of faith. I spoke out against the wrongdoings of certain members of the AFC, because I expect them to be better than those who they are condemning. I do believe that charity begins at home! Many, like myself, will leave the AFC; and many have already done so. The ball is in your court, Ramjattan! Support national development or perish at the next election. Haseef Yusuf AFC Councillor

Local stakeholders, diplomatic corps call on political parties to hold local government elections By Vanessa Narine THE three political parties are being called on by the private sector, the local Bar Association, trade union representatives and the diplomatic corps to hold the long-awaited Local Government Elections. A joint statement making clear this call was issued yesterday on behalf of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), the Consultative Association of Guyanese Industry (CAGI), the Guyana Association of Women Lawyers (GAWL), the Guyana Bar Association (GBA), the Justice Institute (JI), the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC),the High Commission of Canada, the British High Commission, the Embassy of the United States of America and Transparency Institute Guyana Inc. (TIGI). The contention of the grouping is that the “legislative foundation” is now in place for elections, and, as such, the process must be treated as an urgent matter. Guyana is expected to host Local Government Elections on or before August 1, 2014, following a vote in the National Assembly, after rigorous debates over the importance of local government elections to the country’s democracy. The House passed the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amend-
ment) Bill 2013, which states that elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. The August date was made via an amendment to the Bill, proposed by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) while the House was in committee. The statement said, “In anticipation of local government elections, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has been intensifying its preparations and expanding voter education outreach to familiarize people with the voting process. “The Ministry of Local Government has been hosting seminars and workshops with stakeholders to promote voter education. GECOM’s Chairman has stated that the Commission is fully equipped and ready to stage the elections. “It has already demarcated the boundaries and constituencies in 69 of 71 districts, and each district has been targeted for voter education.” The grouping maintained that the election machinery is ready. GECOM’S READINESS The statement noted that once a date for elections is announced, GECOM can begin the statutory steps required by law to hold local government elections. “By all accounts, GECOM is well prepared and poised to ensure free, fair and transparent local elections whenever called upon by the government to do so,” it said.
According to the group, the local government elections will bring “much needed reinvigoration” into local government entities. “That is something all parties and civic stakeholders should agree on in 2014,” the statement said. Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Norman Whittaker, made it clear on Monday that the ministry’s readiness is not the only factor that determines Guyana’s overall readiness to host the elections. The last word from GECOM on the state of its readiness for the long-awaited democratic process was that the Commission already has a work-plan in place to facilitate hosting of local government elections, once it is called. Public Relations Officer of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Vishnu Persaud, told the Guyana Chronicle that the GECOM would need six months of notice to get that plan operational. Asked about the status of the continuous registration process, Persaud noted that the last cycle was completed in December. “The sixth cycle is likely to be commenced in March,” he said. A major component for the hosting of local government elections is the appointment of a Chief Elections Officer. Local government elections were not held in Guyana since 1994. Prior to that, local government elections were last held in 1970. Subsequent to 1994, the elections could not be conducted because it coincided with the general and regional elections of 1997.
Parliamentary Counsel’s draft expected to be ready next Wednesday THE Parliamentary Special Select Committee, reviewing the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill, adjourned after meeting for an hour yesterday in the Committee Room of Public Buildings. And the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, told the Guyana Chronicle that the draft of the proposed amendments by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) could be ready by next Wednesday, March 12. He said, “The CPC (Chief Parliamentary Counsel) had raised
a number of queries, in writing, with the APNU members seeking clarifications and assistance from them, but to date he has not received a response. “Nevertheless he is grappling with putting together a draft which may capture what he believes they want with modifications of his own to make it acceptable to the Opposition, and at the same time, compliant with CFAFT (the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force), as well as Principal Act of 2009, sister legislations and guidelines and recommendations from CFATF itself.”
Congregation at the Brickdam Cathedral
Ushering in the Lenten Season
PERSONS yesterday gathered at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (Brickdam Cathedral) to join with the rest of the Christian world in observing Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Many persons took time off from their daily schedules to attend mass, receive their ashes and communion and settle for a moment of quiet prayer to usher in the season of Lent.
He reported to the Committee on behalf of the CPC that the draft has not been completed as he continues to encounter difficulties. The difficulties he cited were in relation to the fact that the proposed amendments collide with other legislations, is inconsistent with different sections of the principal act itself, and may be contrary to the Constitution, as well as runs afoul of guidelines and recommendations of CFATF,” Nandlall said. The Committee is scheduled to meet again next Wednesday. (Vanessa Narine)

Among concerned officers…
Calls for collaboration on new littering regulations By Telesha Ramnarine SOME officers of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) are not too fond of the new arrangement, put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MNRE), with respect to fines being charged for littering. The EPA fine is now $50,000, as of last March 3, while the municipal one remains $10,000. “How are we going to work through that? I don’t know. But I’m hoping that those two agencies can sit,” Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green told the Guyana Chronicle on Monday. She was speaking on the sidelines of the presentation of the 2014 budget estimates that were presented by Chairman of the Finance Committee Junior Garrett. “We would not be benefitting from the fines the EPA is charging. For us to work together is going to be difficult with respect to the fines. I see it as if the responsibilities of the city are gradually being taken away from us,” Chase-Green lamented. Meanwhile, Public Relations Officer, Royston King suggested that what is needed is an institutionalised way of dealing with certain environmental concerns. SHARED DATABASE “There is need for a shared database which would allow agencies involved with littering to work together in a spirit of collaboration and unity,” he said. According to him, the necessity for a shared database is so that there would be no duplication of efforts. Because a duplication of efforts, usually, leads to a waste of resources which could have been
by individuals and on private premises, litter from vehicles and local authorities as well as litter prevention wardens. EPA’s Director of the Environmental Management and Compliance Department, Khemraj Parsram pointed out that the aim is to reduce garbage in Georgetown by at least 50 percent by 2016. FIRST OFFENCE
Royston King
Patricia Chase-Green
put into other areas of development for the city. “There needs to be a more inter-agency approach,” King offered. Last Friday, the MNRE hosted a stakeholders’ consultation on the Environmental Protection (Litter Enforcement) Regulations 2013 towards creating a public/private partnership to ensure proper understanding and enforcement of the regulation. The consultation entailed presentations on the topic by staff of the EPA, the agency tasked with the executing responsibility. There are five main areas under the regulation including littering
Under the category of littering by individuals, which relates to persons throwing garbage in a public place, the penalty for the first offence is $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for every business. The same penalty applies for litter thrown out of from private vehicles. A fine of $30,000 or six months imprisonment will be inflicted on individuals who are found littering another person’s property without consent. This component also states that, if a person is found to have committed the same offence twice, the convict will be required to pay double the maximum fine attached to the original offence. If the person fails to do so, then he/she will be liable to imprisonment of up to a maximum of five months. The local authority and litter prevention wardens’ component relates to the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs), the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development and other agencies appointed by the Minister of Natural Resources. They will be responsible for the provision of receptacles for litter and ensuring that public places are kept in a clean and tidy manner. The litter prevention wardens are individuals who will be authorised by the minister to arrest persons found guilty of breaching the regulations. Legal Adviser of the EPA Richard Layne said simplified copies of the regulations will be circulated to educate the public.
GAWU pays homage to Kowsilla a national heroine
… an anniversary memoriam to a Martyr
Some are born great, it is said, while others have greatness thrust upon them. Kowsilla, called Alice, an active member of the Women’s Progressive Organisation (WPO), probably had no intention to become heroine or martyr. She merely demonstrated her freedom to protest at the virtually inhuman and exploitative nature of the then Sugar Baron’s greed over Guyana’s natural resource, sugar – and the wealth it generated for Britain. Even after slavery, Kowsilla’s defiance against the Leonora sugar estate’s management, just two (2) years before political independence, resulted in her ultimate sacrifice. Her cruel death, however, was not at all in vain. Her crushed body and spilt blood fertilized the struggle for working-class justice and victory for representation of the sugar workers’ first choice. Today, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) is honoured to pay tribute to its own home-grown heroine, Kowsilla, on this the fiftieth (50th) anniversary of her savage demise. The Chinese have declared that “women hold up half the sky”. Guyana’s women-folk should be today fortified in the role that their predecessors have played in militantly confronting colonial and post-colonial injustices alongside their male counterparts. GAWU asserts that Kowsilla martyrdom, today fifty (50) years old, fulfills all the criteria for that status. In a few words, the Kowsilla story is now embedded in our nation’s sugar industry, labour-union movement and collective psyche. In January of 1964 hundreds of PPP-friendly, Jagnite-oriented sugar workers and other aggrieved Guyanese staged a mammoth citizens march to protest the imposition of Proportional Representation, a then unknown electoral system upon British Guiana by the British Colonial Secretary, Duncan Sandys. It is reasonable and fair to assume that the managers of the various sugar estates many of them expatriate British themselves, did not take kindly to the participation of “their employees” in this political protest against the British government’s decision. They, most likely, harboured an innate disdain for this perceived insolence by those they regarded as mere “coolie” labourers – the downtrodden producers of their wealth, never-the-less. They
waited for an opportunity and excuse to punish the participants, apparently. So that when the workers, except for a few scab-traitors, staged a vigorous strike against the vindictive actions of the Leonora Estate management who offered little work after the January 1964 protests or work at severely-reduced rates, the Estate Manager, a Mr Roy Ryder, did everything to break the industrial action which significantly paralysed his fields and factory operations. From some divide-and-rule tactics to outright intimidation and threats, he abused the striking workers but failed to break their resolve. On March 06, 1964 he ordered that a tractor driven by a scab, be used to clear a main bridge, close to the factory, on which Kowsilla and her comrades were squatting. They were resisting the use of the tractors by a few scabs who were trying to keep the estate working. Kowsilla bravely stood her ground as the tractor approached. She was crushed to a grisly death. Fourteen (14) other females who formed the peaceful human barricade were seriously injured with some unable to work again. Kowsilla’s passing provoked wide-spread dissent and led to new levels of struggle, resulting in estate management meeting directly with workers delegations. The majority of sugar workers then resorted to abandon the then company union – the Man Power Citizens Association (MPCA). This was the movement that made a reluctant government to recognise GAWU in 1976. Kowsilla exemplified bravery. Her death held high the banner of the recognition struggle, and showed the ferocity with which it was waged. The adamancy of the sugar plantocracy not to recognise GAWU was met by a stubborn workers’ struggle. Workers fought with determination and, in February, 1976, the GAWU obtained Union recognition by the Sugar Producers Association (SPA). The workers won that class war. Kowsilla’s sacrifice was not in vain. Sugar workers waged a long and hard struggle for almost three (3) decades in order to replace the Man Power Citizens Association (MPCA), which was deemed a Company Union, by the Guiana In-
Kowsilla dustrial Workers Union (GIWU) and later the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU). In that fight, many workers stood up courageously, made sacrifices and performed selfless deeds. Cheddi Jagan’s militant spirit obviously dwelt in Kowsilla’s being and soul. For years he was GAWU’s ideological guide and Honorary President. Fifty (50) years on Kowsilla’s indomitable will and spirit still dwell in the hearts, minds and memory of GAWU’s members and friends. Long live her memory.

Look who’s talking about civility! - Is the ‘Once-Upon a Time’ paper serious?
YOU can imagine Old Kai’s reaction after reading that the people over at the ‘Once-Upon-a-Time’ newspaper are calling on the nation to make an effort to “return civility to Guyana”. Their editorial of March 4, 2014 sought to lecture Guyanese on the topic of ‘civility’ and the role they must play. One simply cannot get more hypocritical than this, as these are the very people who have used their medium with the public over several years to put over news in a consistently inaccurate manner, so as to cause friction among our people. Through ‘yellow’ journalism, they have served as a catalyst in attacking the very foundations of civility with which our people interacted with each other. They have reduced journalism to a ‘cuss out’; converted lies into truth through their ‘dem boys seh’ column; accused a senior female public figure of being a ‘prostitute’; attacked people because of their perceived sexual orientation; attacked people because of their physical features such as their weight or height; made scandalous accusations against public individuals, without any evidence, only for the public to learn afterwards that they were wrong; invaded the privacy of people’s homes; targeted any and every critic for abuse and ridicule; used their letter columns to advance their attack against their targets; accused of encouraging corruption by bribing persons for information; accused of offering bribes to sell off their assets; accused of having their ‘fingers firmly on the pulse of the criminal underworld’; have been exposed time and again for publishing fabricated stories and I can go on and on.
These culprits now want to place the blame on innocent citizens for what they perceive to be a breakdown in ‘civility’. To satisfy my ego, I would like to think that it was the constant pressure from Old Kai and the non-stop exposure which made them want to reform their entire operation, after all, they have been paying keen attention to these columns; so much so, that I have inspired them to even use my quotes in their articles. But it appears this is not the case, as, while on the one hand they are calling on Guyanese to become more civil to each other, it appears this message does not apply to them as they continue with their ‘cuss down’. At the same time they were making their pleas to society, they were libelling the Attorney-General, Anil of Annandale. The man has joined a lost list of persons to highlight their unfounded attacks and request an apology for tarnishing his character. Their favourite target is former President Bharrat Jagdeo. In fact, they made a national issue out of the man’s recent illness, and the need to charter a jet to the US for medical treatment. Imagine! BJ recently returned from the Asian sub-continent where, as you know, there are many contagious viruses such as the deadly Asian Influenza, H1N1, or the recently discovered H7N9 virus. Returning to Guyana, he became ill, and the local doctors could not detect the exact nature of his illness, as such viruses are not common in our country. Fearing the worst, it was decided that he charter a flight to the United States rather than risk the possibility of infecting an aircraft full of passengers should his illness have turned out to be one of these deadly
strains. In his concern for other Guyanese, he has now come in for attack by the ‘Once-Upon-a-Time’ newspaper and the usual suspects in the Opposition. It is an abomination to them that he chose to travel on a chartered flight rather than risk the possibility of affecting others; but when former Opposition Leader, Robert Corbin was ill, it was not a problem for these very hypocrites that he travelled to the US on a chartered flight, and that all his medical bills were covered by the State. Had Mr. Jagdeo travelled on a commercial flight and, fearing the worst, you can imagine the ridicule he would have been subjected to by these very individuals. So, as usual, it’s a no-win situation for the former Head of State, as is the case with our current President when it comes to certain sections of the media; but they do not see their actions as being uncivil. Old Kai could not decide whether to laugh or cry, so, I did both when I realised that these people were bold enough to give us a breakdown in the types of civility. “There are actually three facets to civility: civility as respect for others; civility as in public behaviour; and civility as self-regulation.” They are guilty of undermining all thee spheres in society. Someone needs to urgently inform them that as a media entity responsible for shaping citizens views on issues, they have an even greater responsibility to exercise ‘civility’ in what they publish, and how they choose to publish it. They must exercise ‘self-regulation’; ‘respect for others’; and be an example in encouraging ‘civility as public behaviour’.
Ministry rebukes Kaieteur News on pension scheme story THE Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security has strongly refuted what it described as inaccuracies in a Kaieteur News article about the Old Age Pension Scheme. The Administration of the Ministry said there were several inaccuracies carried on page 19 of the Kaieteur News edition of March 4, 2014, captioned ‘Parliamentary body urges tighter measures to protect integrity of $2B old age pension scheme’. A statement said the ministry views the article as a misconstrued representation of the discussion that ensued during the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) review of the 2011 Auditor General’s Report. Several officials from the ministry appeared before the PAC on March 3, where clarifications were sought on key issues highlighted in the Auditor General 2011 Report, based upon audit queries made on it. “These were clarified by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs. Lorene Baird,” the statement said. NOT REFLECTED It added, however, that the answers and explanations provided by Mrs. Baird were not reflected in the Kaieteur News article. “Indeed there were queries about the contract for the printing of the pension books and the sequential numbering of these books. This particular issue was rectified in the year 2012. Specifically, as it related to the sequential numbering, the ministry indicated, at the PAC meeting, that, while the books are sequentially numbered and entered into the database, the system is not designed to allow the ministry to enter each of the 12 coupons into the database. But each pension book could be easily traced in the system. The newspaper article also stated that, under the law, a pensioner forfeits the right to collect pension once out of Guyana for more than three months. “This is inaccurate. There were discussions about the length of time a pensioner has to encash his/her monthly coupon and receive
retroactive payment within a fiscal financial year. “The ministry officials indicated that a pensioner can only be paid pension for three preceding months that he/she has missed. If pensioners are unable to personally uplift their pension because of health reasons, or if they are out of the jurisdiction for a short period of time, they are advised to authorise someone to uplift their pension,” the release explained. In addition, the ministry would like to express concerns about the content in the article about the use of the pension database to grant electricity and water tariff subsidies. “This was not the subject of any discussion at the Public Accounts Committee meeting. Nevertheless, the ministry wishes to reiterate that its database is not used as the criterion to determine who benefits from the subsidy as is reflected in the Kaieteur News’ article. ESTABLISHED CRITERIA “Rather, pensioners apply directly to the Guyana Power and Light Company and the Guyana Water Incorporated. There is, in place, established criteria to determine the eligibility of pensioners. With respect to the electricity and water subsidies, ownership of meter is the criterion used to determine eligibility,” the ministry advised. The ministry said the article also incorrectly reported that it would await death certificates of pensioners from their relatives before deleting them from the system. “At present, the ministry receives ‘death returns’ from the General Registrar’s Office’s and inputs this information and updates the database on a regular basis. Family members of the deceased, the Local Board of Guardians and Probation and Social Security Officers, who are assigned throughout the regions, also submit data in this regard,” it was pointed out. The ministry said it also views with dismay the statement that it had to provide answers in relation to a query of $75M spent to assist persons living with HIV/AIDS. It said, based on the discussions, officials of the ministry indicated that the matter was engaging the attention of the authorities, the
Health Sector Development Unit, which was responsible for funding the project, had conducted an independent audit. “The PAC then instructed the Auditor General to write the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health to obtain a copy of that Audit Report. “In light of the numerous inaccuracies highlighted in the newspaper article, the ministry urges the media entity to ensure that its reports are verified and properly reflect the facts,” the admonition said.
Correction to South Ruimveldt Shopping Plaza fire story ON page 8 of our Wednesday, March 5 edition, we reported as follows in the final paragraph of a story on the mystery fire at South Ruimveldt Shopping Plaza: “The Plaza is owned by the management of Continental Agencies, and the fire was reported to them; but late on Monday, they had not yet visited the complex to make enquiries.” That statement was given to our reporter by someone who was speaking according to their understanding. However, this newspaper has since confirmed that that statement was without merit, and that management of Continental Agencies had indeed visited the building. In fact, this newspaper has been reliably informed that the Managing Director and sole owner of Continental Agencies, Mr. Rakesh Puri, had personally visited the scene of the fire on learning of the disaster. Accordingly, the erroneous report is regretted, and the Chronicle sincerely apologizes to the management of Continental Agencies for any embarrassment or inconvenience that the report may have caused.

Russian Embassy clarifies country’s position
Efforts to de-escalate situation in Ukraine failing By Vanessa Narine THE local Russian Embassy yesterday made clear the country’s position on the situation in Ukraine and stressed that the numerous calls by the Russian authorities aimed at de-escalating the situation have been futile. A statement released by the Embassy said, “Instead of addressing the situation through structures such as the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) and the Council of Europe that have a solid expertise in the field of human rights, including minority rights and constitutional law, we have seen the Ukraine situation discussed by NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), which certainly sent the wrong message.” The statement noted that there has been a lot of speculation regarding the movement of troops of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. However, the Embassy stressed that these actions were taken as a precautionary measure in full compliance with the relevant bilateral
agreements with Ukraine. “During the night of March 1, 2014, unknown armed men sent from Kiev tried to seize the building of the Crimea Interior Ministry. Only decisive actions of self-defense groups allowed stopping that provocation that has left many people injured,” the Embassy said. THREAT TO LIVES The organisation underscored the threat to lives and defended the actions of Russia’s President. It said, “Given the extraordinary situation in Ukraine, the threat to the lives of Russian nationals and our compatriots, as well as Black Sea Fleet personnel, President Vladimir Putin has been compelled to use his Constitutional powers and to seek approval of the Upper Chamber of Parliament for the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the territory of Ukraine, for the normalization of public order and political situation in that country.” The Embassy made it clear that while this approval has been
given, it does not necessarily imply that such actions will be taken immediately. The Embassy said that the situation in Ukraine has deteriorated rapidly and said, “Not surprisingly, one of the first decisions of the new rulers was to abolish the law on regional languages. “This move has caused concern among Russian-speakers and coincided with a widespread campaign of intimidation of ethnic Russian population and desecration of monuments to Russia’s and Ukraine’s common historical achievements to the defeat of Nazism in World War II. Russian priests have become the object of threats and attempts were made to seize the Orthodox shrines and synagogues. “The situation of the Russian community in Crimea has become particularly precarious. As soon as rallies erupted in protest against the way the Kier events had unfolded, the Crimeans were accused of separatism and were threatened with force.” OPEN TO COOPERATION The Embassy maintains that Russia remains open to cooperation with all partners in order to seek a political resolution to the crisis. It said, “What is needed is a clear understanding that this cooperation is honest and based not simply on the ability to hold fruitful negotiations, but also the ability to comply with agreements that take account of the interest of the Ukrainian people and all partners of Ukraine.” The Embassy pointed to the fact that the agreement reached between President Yanukovych and the Opposition on February 21, 2014 has been scrapped by Opposition Leaders. The Embassy said further, “The legitimate President, Victor Yanukovych, was driven out of the country and an interim President has been appointed. No steps have been made in the area of constitutional reform. “That the protest leaders treat their words and a signature so lightly was no surprise, but it is astonishing how easily those external mediators, who sealed the agreement, namely the Foreign Ministers of Germany, France and Poland declared to have been “overtaken” by the event. “Rather than taking account of the numerous appeals to national unity and reconciliation, political power in Kiev has been concentrated in the hands of far-right extremist elements that do not hide their xenophobic, anti-Semitic, neo-fascist credentials. “….within this context, it is not surprising that as many as 143,000 people from Ukraine have applied for asylum in Russia over the past two weeks.” Faced with the situation, Prime Minister of Crimea, Sergey Aksenov, appealed to the Russian authorities for assistance in maintaining peace and accord in the peninsula. Most recently, extremist groups openly called for an alliance with Doku Umarov, the most wanted leader of the Chechen terrorists, with close links to Al Qaeda.
CARICOM expresses concern over Ukraine situation THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM), in a statement yesterday, stated that it is deeply concerned by the recent developments in Ukraine and called on all parties involved, to act with self-restraint and responsibility in order to reduce tensions and avoid destabilisation in that Region. The Community expressed support for the people of Ukraine in their efforts to settle their differences peacefully, and called for the respect of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. To this end, the Community also called for the use of international mediation and/or negotiations, to address security and human rights concerns in Ukraine, under the auspices of the United Nations. “The Caribbean Community will continue to monitor developments within Ukraine and hopes for peace and calm as political and economic stability are restored within that country,” the Regional body said.

Mahaica 2010 murder trial ‌
Brother of deceased gives conflicting evidence in testimony By George Barclay TOTARAM Bishundial, whose brother Lakhram was shot in the Mahaica felony murder in August 2010, has given different accounts in his testimony about the incident and the identification of the accused. And when re-examined by Senior State Counsel, Mrs. Judith Mursalin, he accepted his denials and admissions but had no explanation to offer. In his examination-in-chief he said that he was able to recognise the gunman who shot his brother that day at Hope and at the Victoria Gas Station when he saw him again with the money bag. He made it clear that he attempted to run his vehicle onto the gunman, whom he later identified at an ID parade. But under cross-examination by Mr. George Thomas, defence counsel for the number two accused, Shawn Thom, the witness went through a trauma where he was admitting and denying things that he had already answered in the negative or positive as if he did not understand the questions put to him. Lakhram was shot on the Hope Public Road during a $500,000 robbery/murder in 2010. Totaram had identified Shawn Thom as the gunman who opened fire after demanding a bag with money. Witness said he was taking his brother to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and when he reached by the Victoria gas station, he saw money flying around on the road. He also saw the man with the money bag and gun and he tried to drive his vehicle onto the gunman but the vehicle hit a concrete basement. The man hopped into a white car and he tried to catch up with it but it was a faster vehicle, and the gunman, whom he had recognised, escaped. Tuesday, the witness told the judge and jury that this did not happen because he was concerned with getting his brother to hospital as quickly as possible. The witness said he took Lakhram to the hospital but was later told that he had died. He said subsequently he identified the gunman at an identification parade at the Turkeyen Police Station. The trial is continuing before Justice Franklyn Holder and a mixed Demerara Assizes jury. The number one accused is Orrin David who is being represented by Mr. Trenton Lake.
Midnight visit to see children results in threatening language charges and a $20,000 fine By Jeune Vankeric ADRIAN Hetemeyer allegedly so wanted to see his four children that he recently paid them a visit at 23:30hrs, but their mother, Swarsattie Doodnauth, informed him that they were asleep. Enraged, the 35-year-old Hetemeyer started using a series of expletives whilst threatening to chop the woman; so, becoming fearful, she awoke the children, opened the door and released them into his care. Not appeased, Hetemeyer invaded Doodnauth’s yard and began kicking at her closed door. And when Doodnauth’s livein lover, Dwayne Rodrigues, attempted to intervene, Hetemeyer threatened to chop him into pound parcels before disappearing into the interior, where it would be impossible for the police to locate him. When the case was called before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, Doodnauth informed the court that she and Hetemeyer had been separated for six years, but since she commenced a relationship with Rodrigues, the defendant would constantly abuse her and her lover wherever he sees them. Hetemeyer pleaded guilty to two counts of threatening language, and was fined a total of $20,000 and bonded to keep the peace for a year.

The case is fixed for hearing on May 3.

Media reports border on witness-tampering - GPF THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) has registered its utmost disgust with media reports regarding Dwane Williams, a state witness in a criminal matter which is before the High Court, saying the actions and reportage of some media outlets is unprofessional and reckless journalism. Dwane Williams was among several persons who were charged for the Lusignan massacre, but he later became a state witness, and is presently in protective care and custody of the police. Allegedly the only eyewitness to the Lusignan and Lindo Creek massacres, Williams was said to be only thirteen years old when he was picked up by the police in their investigations of the latter incident. Yesterday, the police said in a statement that some of the contents of the articles, inclusive of the location of the witness, not only endanger his life while in police protective custody, but also complicate the work of the security plans and border on witness tampering, as it may negatively impact on the witness’s continued willingness to cooperate with investigators. Williams is, at this point, said to be the only person the police can access who had knowledge of the inner workings of the Rondell Fine Man Rawlings gang, and who, up to now, is willing to cooperate with the police. Two of the men charged with the Lusignan massacre were recently acquitted in the High Court. (Leroy Smith)
Essequibo burglary suspect nabbed with booty A MAN who allegedly looted jewellery and other valuables worth some $3.3 million from a house on the Essequibo Coast during a break-in was nabbed by alert cops at Parika with some of the booty. Early yesterday morning 45-year-old businessman Gordon Williams of Perseverance, Essequibo, awoke to find that his home had been broken into and then he made the unlikely discovery of a suspect hiding in his home. The man was confronted by the businessman but managed to escape. As the businessman made further checks around his home, he found that jewellery, cash and a cell phone, all valued at $3.3 million, had vanished. He reported the matter to the police and intense investigations saw the police apprehending a suspect in the vicinity of Parika Market. The suspect was positively identified by the businessman as the intruder who was caught in his house and managed to escape. Most of the stolen jewellery and the cell phone were recovered by the police and the suspect is expected to appear in court today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, in a similar incident a bandit who recently invaded the home of another businessman, on the East Coast of Demerara, was not so lucky since he was shot while his two accomplices escaped. The bullet caused the man to be hospitalised with a severed tongue. He was unable to communicate with investigators to answer questions about his accomplices. However, a firearm being carried by the bandits was recovered at the scene.( Leroy Smith)
‘Ganja can cure headaches’ -defendant tells N/A magistrate
-fined $6,000 and ordered to do two weeks of community service WHEN he appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs -Marcus to answer a narcotics possession charge, Parsharam Samaroo of Lot 153 Williamsburg Squatting Area, Rose Hall Town, Corentyne pleaded guilty to having in his possession one gramme of cannabis sativa, and told the magistrate that marijuana can be used to cure headaches. Police on mobile patrol within the Rose Hall Township saw the defendant riding a bicycle whilst acting suspiciously, stopped and searched him, and unearthed portions of the illegal plant in the right side pocket of the trousers he was wearing. Responding to questions by the court, the defendant said, “Madam, I usually have headaches, and a friend told me that ganja can cure it, so that is why I am using the herb.” Samaroo was fined $6000, and was ordered to perform two weeks of community service within the precincts of the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court.
Son on six-month bond for threatening mother with violence INDRA Tandacharry, an 80-year-old widow, told Albion Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh on Tuesday that she was tired of the constant threats meted out to her by her 51-year-old son Peerasammy Tandacharry, called Charry, whenever he is under the influence of alcohol. Charry pleaded guilty
to threatening his mother on February 28 at 23:40hrs, when he returned home inebriated and called out to her as she was sleeping, and she responded. He had verbally abused her, and had threatened to kill her. Becoming afraid, she secretly telephoned her neighbour, who in turn informed the
police. After hearing the details of the case, Magistrate Singh changed Charry’s guilty plea to a not guilty plea, and imposed a six-month bond on him. He was warned that breaching the bond in a similar offence would attract a sentence of two weeks’ imprisonment.

With harvesting begun…
Paddy prices fall as production increases By Vanessa Narine
GUYANA’S marked successes in improving both quality and production in the rice sector while laudable, is presenting a challenge for farmers and millers, even as harvesting of the first 2014 crop starts in all the producing regions. General Secretary of the Rice Producers Association (RPA), Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj told the Guyana Chronicle that efforts are being made to continuously expand traditional markets, as well as target new ones. He acknowledged, however, that access to markets is not being expanded fast enough to stay on par with the consistently increasing produce. Seeraj said this is evidenced by the fact that some 100,000 tonnes of paddy from the last 2013 Autumn crop, remains in stock to be sold. He explained that, given the supply and demand dynamic, this has resulted in a drop in prices being paid to farmers. “Last crop, farmers received between $3,800 and $4,200 per bag of paddy. Right now, we have seen a fall in those prices with millers offering between $3,000 and $3,400. Despite this, though, we expect those millers producing parboiled rice to pay $4,000 a bag,” Seeraj said. He maintained that the current supply and demand dynamic in the industry is one that has the attention of major
stakeholders.
THREE-PRONGED STRATEGY The approach by the Ministry of Agriculture to improving access to markets is centred on a three-pronged strategy of increasing the market share in countries that have agreements with Guyana; re-entering old markets where the country once had a meaningful presence and securing new customers. “We are currently also looking at Belize,” the RPA General Secretary disclosed. Several Caribbean and European countries presently import rice from others as well but Guyana sector stakeholders are optimistic that there is an opportunity to secure greater shares in the existing markets. Seeraj alluded to recent reports on Caribbean export trends and reiterated the potential that can be realised for the local sector. Oryza Global Rice Quotes, a recognised information source on rice market trends, in a January month end report, said the sole mill in Jamaica completely replaced the United States (U.S.) paddy/rice with imports from Guyana in 2013. Still, Seeraj contends that, in line with the sector’s threepronged aim, the Guyanese marketing thrust focuses on dislodging the U.S. as a supplier to the Caribbean Region. “Our quality and quantity
has improved, significantly, as a result of technology and better agronomical practices and we have the capacity to supply the Region. If we can dislodge the U.S. as a supplier, it will be good for Guyana and local rice farmers,” he posited. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to the Oryza report, said Jamaica did not import any paddy/rice from the U.S. in 2013 for the first time in recent history. Imports from both Guyana and Suriname receive preferential treatment under the common external tariff (CET) for the Community (CARICOM) countries and CET on rice for non-CARICOM nations is 25 per cent, thereby making import from such places comparatively expensive. Asked about the Venezuelan market, the RPA General Secretary said Guyana’s production surpassing the 500,000 tonnes mark, the neighbouring country now represents a smaller percentage of Guyana’s export market. “When we were producing just over 300,000 tonnes, Venezuela accounted for over 60 per cent of our exports. “Now we have gone past that mark with over 500,000 tonnes, of which only 30 per cent was exported to Venezuela. This means that 30 per cent of the exports attracted the best prices,” he said. Seeraj added that the agreement between Guyana and Ven-
ezuela for supply of white rice and paddy for 2014’s first crop is almost accomplished. “Venezuela is likely to take 200,000 tonnes this crop, 110,000 tonnes of white rice and 80,000 tonnes of paddy,” he said. LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES He underscored, though, that there are “logistical challenges” in supplying this demand, considering the internal political problems Venezuela is now facing. “We have a CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) agreement
with Venezuela and there may be a logistical problem in unloading the supply, considering the unrests that are ongoing…. with the CIF agreement, we have to pay the related costs until we unload,” he pointed out. In a press statement, last month, the Ministry of Agriculture assured that the rice trade will not be affected by the unrest, which have claimed the lives of at least 13 people. The 2014 Spring crop harvesting already commenced, shipment of rice is a critical part of the industry. The production for 2013 was 535,212 tonnes, which was
RPA General Secretary Dharamkumar Seeraj far above the original target of 413,000 tonnes and reflected 27 per cent more than the 2012 production. The average produced was five tones per hectare. A further 250,000 tonnes are expected to be harvested this crop, with an average yield of 34 bags per acre.

Mash 2014 was a tremendous success – M
GUYANA’S rich history and cultural diversity were brought to life at the annual float parade on February 23 in observance of the country’s 44th Republic anniversary, celebrated under the theme “Cultural Folklore; Celebrating 44”. Minister of Culture Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, whose ministry has responsibility for the celebrations, disclosed that Mash was a tremendous success as Guyana’s folklore history was highlighted in all aspects, especially through the very creative costumes. The Mash parade was a reflection of the harmonious relations that exist among Guyanese, as thousands of people, all colourfully decked out, lined the streets of Georgetown, enjoying the picnic-like atmosphere and witnessing the beautiful
spectacle. Folklore creatures like Baccoo, Massacuraman, Kanaima, Old Higue, Moongazer, Water Mama and Jumbee were showcased, as 30 bands participated in the category of full costume and semi costume, and individual male and female costumes at the parade. In an interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA), Minister Anthony expressed satisfaction with the creativity shown with the costumes and floats, and lauded the designers, stating that he was pleased with the participation from companies and organisations, especially in the full costume category. “We are pleased, and it shows that our artistic talents and creativity in Guyana is alive and well, and some of the pieces that we saw out there can match
anything, anywhere else in the world… I’m sure the designers can go and get jobs at any carnival type of celebrations,” Minister Anthony said. He said that the ministry chose this year’s Mashramani theme because a lot of young people did not appreciate Guyana’s folklore heritage, “and we thought that this would bring it back to people’s minds, and it certainly did, because many of floats depicted folkloric heritage.” Minister Anthony said that the Mash committee will be reviewing the celebration and looking at some new innovations for next year, and will be seeking ways to deal the issue of waste disposal after the celebration. Each year, the Ministry of Culture, in association with the Mash Secretariat and the Min-
istry of Education, organises a calendar of activities which includes the chutney, soca and the calypso (junior and senior) competitions, the Children’s Mash activities, masquerade and steel band, steel band concert and concert for the elderly, and
the bright-up Guyana competition, among others. However, this year’s Mash saw a three-pronged approach being incorporated in the celebration, the commemorative, intellectual and social aspects. For the commemorative aspect,
there was the traditional flag-raising ceremony held in all 10 Administrative Regions and Georgetown, and activities throughout those regions to ensure that people living outside the capital share in the national festivities. For the intellectual aspect, there

New Linden radio station optimistic about broadcasting forays by Vanessa Narine
PROPRIETOR of the newly operational ‘104.3 Power FM’, Mr. Haslyn Graham is optimistic of making forays into
the broadcasting arena. In an interview yesterday, he told the Guyana Chronicle that his focus is on tapping into new opportunities to further develop the radio station’s content.
Now operating under the name Linden Wireless Communication Network, the previously named ORBIT Television, Graham said his enthused disposition is a result of the real-
isation of a decade old dream. He explained that the increasingly popular radio station has coverage that currently extends to the Soesdyke/Linden Highway but disclosed that works are in the pipeline to extend its reach all the way to Georgetown. “Right now, we are developing programmes that look at sports, education, health and entertainment for youngsters…I am optimistic that our efforts will see the radio station taking off in a major way,” Graham said. The station’s studio is based in Richmond Hill, Mackenzie, Linden and offers advertisers what he described as “attractive” packages. “As it stands, 104.3 Power FM is very popular with the people of Linden,” said Graham, whose licence was approved on September 19, 2013 before the station was launched a month later.

Unsupervised Fourth Former to undergo counselling with her mother By Jeune Vankeric A FOURTH FORM student of the Canje Secondary School in Berbice may be spared a term of incarceration at the New Opportunity Corps in Essequibo after the Schools Welfare Officer opined that that juvenile centre was not for a child who does not display unacceptable behaviour. The fourteen-year-old lass of Number Two Village, East Canje Berbice admitted to the charge of wandering before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus. She had been found at a house in Sukhoo Street, Cumberland, East Canje Berbice on January 13 last, and Schools Welfare Officer Ms La Rose said that on arriving at the home, she had observed four males running from the building. The defendant and her mother had been contacted before the charge was instituted against her. School records revealed that the teen had attended a mere 28 teaching sessions out of a total of 146. Her mother, a domestic worker, told the court that on the day in question, she left home for work whilst her daughter was preparing for school. About an hour later, she had met her daughter on the roadway, and the girl had reported that she was feeling unwell and was going to the home of an older sibling. Responding to the magistrate’s questions, the teen said, “I went by my friend Grayson, a boy, after school.” Ms La Rose said that despite the teen’s mother being warned several times, the child would still attend school irregularly. Probation and Welfare Officer Ms Shalika David re-
ported that the economic needs of the teen are being met by her mother, a domestic helper, and two older siblings. She said the offender, the fifth of ten children, lacks parental guidance and strict supervision.
Nevertheless, the officer opined that the teen needed a second chance, and she suggested counselling sessions for the defendant and her mother. The case is fixed for hearing on March 31.
Aries March 21 - April 19
Put your money where your mouth is today -- unless you’ve just realised that you don’t have any cash on hand. Financial concerns pop up out of nowhere and demand your closest attention. Make sure you address these issues right away, or the next time they come knocking, they’re not likely to let you know in quite as polite a fashion.
Taurus April 20 - May 20
Being pragmatic and being creative may seem to be in opposition, but that’s far from true -- and you’re living proof that both can coexist. In fact, it goes beyond mere coexistence -- these two qualities actually complement each other. Your practical side ensures you have everything done so you can create your masterpiece, and your creativity ensures that everything that’s vital gets done with flair.

Gemini May 21 - June 21
Shyness is nice sometimes, but it can stop you from doing things you’d like to. While you’re not known for being especially reticent, you can sometimes be less than forthcoming, especially if you need to show off a skill that’s not really in your repertoire. Don’t worry -- just step up to the plate and swing at the next good pitch. What happens next surprises everyone -- including yourself.
Cancer June 22 - July 22
You’ve been planning that big dinner party in your head for ages now, but you realise today that you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. What more do you need than good friends, family and food? Call people up and tell them you’re throwing an impromptu get-together, and don’t take no for an answer. Once they see it’s low-key, easygoing socialising on the menu, they’re sure to turn up.
Leo July 23 - August 22
Career frustration could be coming soon, but you don’t have to let it distract you from the important tasks at hand. Try to distract yourself and just keep your focus as you work on big projects that you’ve been dreaming of for quite some time. If someone persistent insists on flagging your attention, it’s definitely appropriate to acknowledge them -- and let them know that you can talk later.
Virgo August 23 - September 22 For Thursday March 6, 2014 -08:30hrs For Friday March 7, 2014 -08:30hrs
Something you’ve been keeping to yourself for quite some time needs to see the light of day -- but rather than being scared, you’re actually grateful that it’s finally coming out. In fact, you feel more lighthearted than you have in some time! It’s great to discover that what you thought was such a big deal is actually not really a matter of life and death. The support of family and friends makes all the difference.
Libra September 23 - October 22
When deciding to lend a hand, you end up helping yourself to discover a new path. Rather than feeling put upon or worn out by others’ demands, you find yourself rising to the challenge. It does help that you get to use your best assets in aiding this person or cause -- diplomacy, tact and charisma all come in handy for the time being.
Scorpio October 23 - November 21
Your strong opinions and magnetic personality ensure that you’re always engaging, if occasionally challenging. Remember that there are others involved, and that their opinions might be as valid as yours. A free spirit who is on your side could agitate you with their off-the-wall suggestions, but exercise patience and give all their opinions a fair hearing, rather than just shutting them down right away.
Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
When you set your mind to it, you’re the best at analysing situations and seeing the deeper meaning of things. Recent events may have the people around you in a tizzy, but you can take a shrewd, clear-eyed look at what is really going on. Not only do you know just what to do to make things better, but you’re aware of exactly how much work it should take to get you where you want to go.
Capricorn December 22 - January 19
Double your fun today by making sure you get your favourite people in on the action. You’re all set to have a good time, no matter what you do, but things are even sweeter if you have all the right folks along for the ride. It should all go especially well if you make a serious effort to contact someone you haven’t seen in far too long -- you should catch up with each other and have a great time.
Aquarius January 20 - February 18
The temptation to tune out is pretty much irresistible, especially if someone close calls who wants to tell you some never-ending story about a dream they had or something they’re trying to put behind them. Try listening attentively -- you may just learn something about yourself that could really put things in a different light.
Pisces February 19 - March 20
Think back to your favourite childhood meal and recreate it for someone you love today. It’s a great time for good food, good company and even better chatter. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy -- you just need to enjoy each other’s company in a comfortable manner. Go ahead and call that special person and tell them what you have in mind. They should be ecstatic.

England survive Ramdin onslaught to take series (CRICINFO) - For the first time since July, England have won two matches in a row with starring roles for two young batsmen - but it was not without some tension towards the end as Denesh Ramdin flayed the ball around the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in a career-best 128, but ultimately West Indies’ under-performing top order had left too much to do. Ramdin’s was not the first maiden hundred of the day; it was Joe Root’s that finished on the winning side. Two players viewed as central to England’s rebuilding formed the most substantial part in their success as Root, battling the pain of a damaged thumb, and Jos Buttler added 175 for the fifth wicket although it turned out more of those runs were
needed than appeared likely at one point of West Indies’ chase. At 43 for 4 it needed something of James Faulkner in Brisbane and Shahid Afridi in Mirpur combined to turn the innings around. It was not far off emerging. For a while Ramdin and Darren Sammy threatened with a stand of 71 in 10 overs, then Ramdin continued the charge with the first hundred by a West Indies keeper in one-day cricket. He took advantage of England’s persistence at bowling short, fetching sixes on both sides of the wicket, and there was a lesson for England’s bowlers when Bresnan finally ended the chances of an incredible turnaround with, yes, a yorker that hit leg stump. West Indies will rue that none of their top four could provide a similar role to Root because Ramdin’s late onslaught reminded, yet again, that asking rates of over ten an over are achievable with wickets in hand, Root’s hundred came off 112 balls and was another window into the character of this 23-year-old who, like many, endured a tough time in Australia where he lost his place in the Test and one-day sides. Buttler appeared set to join him with a maiden century, but facing Ravi Rampaul in the final over got a leading edge so he had to settle for 99 off 84 balls, but their impish partnership, pot-marked by Buttler’s strong hitting in the later stages, was England’s second highest for the fifth wicket. Root’s fine day continued when he struck in his first over, but he soon had to leave the field to have ice treatment on his thumb and was set for an X-ray. England’s innings was in the balance at the midway mark, West Indies having removed four wickets to even out Moeen Ali’s maiden half-century - a fluent innings ended by a leading edge to Nikita Miller - but Root and Buttler meant England did not stall from a potentially tricky 116 for 4 after Eoin Morgan had been beaten by Sunil Narine’s spin. There was a key moment when Buttler had 22 and successfully overturned a caught-behind decision, despite there not appearing to be conclusive evidence to do so, and earlier Root had been given a life on 23 when Ramdin could not gather an outside edge off Narine. England played Narine cautiously for most of his allotment but his ninth over cost 21 as Buttler twice cleared the boundary - the second occasion off a free-hit and the batting Powerplay had not proved to be the downfall it so often seems, bringing a consolidating 36 in the five
overs, which set up a final 10 overs that accrued 94. Root had started his innings facing a hat-trick delivery from Dwayne Bravo after the West Indies captain had removed Michael Lumb and Ben Stokes. He calmly defended the delivery, but was in some severe discomfort a short while later when a ball from Rampaul climbed at him from a good length, striking a nasty blow on the thumb of his bottom hand. He needed several minutes of treatment, some strapping and a dose of painkillers before resuming and then had to ensure his thumb did not seize up during a brief rain break. He continued to shake his hand throughout the innings, especially when the ball struck higher up his bat, but in a tremendous display of focus and application did not let it impact his strokeplay. Buttler had missed out in the first two matches of the series when his finishing skills were needed, but in this innings reminded that he can set a total as well as hunt one down. Early on, he still barely knew what Narine was bowling, but reined in his ambitions to attack him knowing that there was easier fare on offer from the other end. After bringing up his fifty off 56 deliveries he then opened his shoulders to pick up four sixes, forming an ideal contrast to Root who, while possessing the power to clear the ropes, played the anchor role and ran West Indies ragged. West Indies’ chase began in fairly shambolic fashion; Kieran Powell missing a sweep and Dwayne Smith picking out deep square-leg against Stuart Broad’s first ball. Broad bowled a lively fiveover spell which included a heated four-ball period against Lendl Simmons, whom Broad

was convinced had edged behind and was flabbergast when the TV umpire, quite understandably, upheld the not-out decision. “Come on lads, guilty shot coming,” shouted Buttler from behind the stumps and three balls later Simmons dragged a pull into his stumps much to Broad’s delight, although it could easily have been classed as much as ‘poor shot’ as ‘guilty shot’. Unlike Buttler, a caught-behind decision off Marlon Samuels was upheld and when Dwayne Bravo edged Ravi Bopara the requirement was 173 off 20 overs. To start with there was a sense of hopeful dash in the way Ramdin and Sammy played, but such was their impact that the runrate - if not the wickets in hand - was not out of hand and there was relief for England when Ben Stokes took a superbly-judged boundary catch at deep squareleg, while Ramdin continued to swing freely, but he could not rely much on the lower order. Miller found it difficult to get the ball away and Narine, after one towering six, was caught backing up too far. However, when Ramdin crunched the first three balls of the 48th over for six, four, four it was not beyond the realms he could finish the game himself, but Bresnan remembered one of cricket’s long-standing limited-overs deliveries and it was an untidy finish for England, but after the six months they have had they will take a series win whatever way it comes.

Manchester United captain Vidic to join Inter By Josh Reich
(REUTERS) - Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic will join Inter Milan in the close season after eight years of success with the English champions, the Serie A side announced on yesterday. The 32-year-old Serbia central defender said last month he would be leaving the Premier League club at the end of this term and was looking at moving to a team outside England. “Vidic is a world-class player,” Inter president Erick Thohir told the club’s website (www.inter.it). “I’m extremely happy to

have completed this deal to bring Nemanja to Milan. He’s one of the world’s best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree and charisma will be an asset to the team and help bring through our younger players. “He will bring added value to the club and is another piece of the great Inter side we are building,” Vidic joined United in 2006, winning a host of trophies, including five Premier League titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup. He forged a strong partnership with Rio Ferdinand at the heart of United’s defence,
although his effectiveness has suffered with niggling injuries, while he has also struggled for playing time this season with new manager David Moyes looking to rejuvenate his squad. In February, Vidic announced he would leave United when his contract expired at the end of this season and he was strongly linked with a move to Inter, fifth in Serie A but having won only two league matches out of 10 so far this year. At the time, Vidic said: “I’m not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was
lucky enough to be part of this club for so many years”, while Moyes later said the decision for Vidic to leave the club was a mutual one. United have struggled since Moyes replaced retired fellow Scot Alex Ferguson at the start of the season, with their hopes of retaining the title all but gone as they sit in seventh spot, 18 points adrift of leaders Chelsea. They are also 12 points away from fourth-placed rivals Manchester City, who occupy the last Champions League qualifying spot and have a game in hand on United.
Scott gets shot at Woods and number one at WGC-Cadillac By Steve Keating (REUTERS) - Adam Scott has described his chance to claim golf’s number one world ranking this weekend as the opportunity to realise a dream. The Australian, currently ranked number two, achieved another lifelong goal last year when he captured his first major victory at the Masters, and now he has the chance to lead the rankings if he can win the WGC-Cadillac Championship. If Scott wins the tournament and current world number one Tiger Woods finishes seventh or worse, the Australian will move to the top of the world rankings. “It’s impossible not to think about it,” Scott told reporters yesterday. “It would be a dream come true to make it to that point.” Scott will be grouped with Woods and Sweden’s world number three Henrik Stenson for the opening two rounds of what promises to be a mouth-watering battle. Scott admitted the chance to reach the top of the rankings had provided him with extra-motivation as he attempts to become the second Australian, and the first since his childhood idol Greg Norman, to hold the honour. “I’m very comfortable with where my game is at and certainly believe it’s in a position where I can put myself in contention this week,” he said. “If I got there, the motivation to win would be that much more than just winning a trophy; but win a tournament and achieve the number ranking potentially with that, would be a great way to do it. It would be a great story for myself, anyway.” He arrives at the Doral resort in improving form with two top-10 finishes in three PGA Tour starts, along with a tie for 12th at last Sunday’s Honda Classic. The 33-year-old will also carry considerable confidence into today’s opening round buoyed by a third place finish
Adam Scott behind Woods at last year’s event. “It’s an incredible opportunity for me,” Scott said. “It’s taken me a long time to get to this point. I’d love to go out and play great this week and have you guys thinking of writing stories and me thinking of being the number one player in the world when I wake up next Monday. That would be amazing.” The drama will unfold on one of the PGA Tour’s toughest layouts, the famed Blue Monster Course made even more frightening thanks to a massive $250 million renovation. While the fight for number one ensures Woods and Scott will start the week in the spot-
light, a $9 million purse and a quality field that includes the world’s top 50 ranked players, guarantees there will be plenty to keep the expected large galleries entertained. “I think it is absolutely a good pairing with the number one up for grabs,” said Scott. “I don’t know how Tiger feels about it but it’s obviously a position he’s pretty comfortable with for a long time throughout his career and I can assure you from knowing him just a little bit, it’s a position he probably wouldn’t want to give up. “So I don’t know that we’re going to be trying to play each other head to head because we know this field is a lot bigger than the two of us.”

Pakistan’s Rehman concedes Smith spent months toying eight runs without bowling a ball with retirement decision (REUTERS) - Pakistani spinner Abdur Rehman had a spell to forget in his country’s Asia Cup match against Bangladesh last Tuesday, the left-armer sending down a hat-trick of illegal full tosses to finish with bizarre bowling figures of 0-0-8-0. Brought into the attack in the 11th over at Mirpur’s Shere Bangla National Stadium, the 34-year-old spinner’s first delivery to Imrul Kayes slipped out of his hand and sailed well above waist-height and wide outside the off-stump.

Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Programme holds trials for US Scholarship THREE players from the Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football programme were recently evaluated by National coaches Wayne Dover and Sampson Gilbert of the Guyana National Football Coaches Association (GNFCA) for a scholarship to the ASA College in the United States. The players are Shaka Lewis, Ronaldo Dover and Dominique Babb who were all selected for football player evaluation after a pre-screening was done based on players academic qualifications. The academic and player evaluation will now be submitted to the ASA College coach in New York where one will be selected for a full Football
Scholarship opportunity at that College, whose men’s soccer team qualified for the USA National Junior College Athletic Association Division I Championships last year. Before the technical evaluation, Programme Director Colin Baker explained to the players the nature of the scholarship and stated that it was in keeping with one of the main objectives of the Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Programme. Baker expressed his delight that the programme is now in partnership with the GNFCA, a partnership which was and will see coaches assist with coaching of the players and Physical Ed-
ucation coaches of the schools, who attended a Coaches Training course, administered by Technical Director of the programme, Stanley Harmon, who was also instrumental in making the scholarship opportunity possible. The 2014 Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Tournament phase kicks off on March 15 and will feature 24 schools from Georgetown, Berbice and Linden. Most schools will be fielding a male and female team and a total of 100 league games will be played among the three areas before the champion male and female teams from each area contest the semi-finals and finals.

(REUTERS) - It was not the result he wanted but Graeme Smith’s final day as South African Test captain ended with his side showing grit and dogged resilience, mirroring his 12-year international career. Australia triumphed by 245 runs at Newlands with a little more than four overs remaining to win the series 2-1 as Smith signed-off on a low note. His decision to retire shocked a nation but Smith admitted he had been toying with the idea since former coach Gary Kirsten announced last May he would be leaving the team. “When Gary left, that was when the process started for me,” Smith, the most successful captain in Test history with a record 53 wins, told reporters. “The thought entered my mind then and it has taken me a period of time to try and understand and process that. I still feel I could perform over the next period of time but I have peace that this is the right time to go. “When I told the team a couple of nights ago it was a really tough night, I didn’t manage to get too many words out. The hardest part has been saying goodbye to the team, for so long the Proteas environment has been my family. “It took a while to have the courage to make the decision. At 33 people say you have a lot of years left but it has felt like the time is right for me. I realised that this (Newlands) is the place where I wanted to finish my career. I didn’t want to hang on and finish at a place where it didn’t feel right.” Smith was first selected for South Africa aged 21 and within a year was made captain of the team, a job he held for 11 years.

Windies crash to second defeat against New Zealand INVERCARGILL, New Zealand (CMC) - West Indies Women, hounded by medium pacer Suzie Bates, lost to New Zealand Women by 24 runs in the third T20 of the five-match series at Queen’s Park here yesterday. Bates destroyed a promising opening stand and disrupted an innings revival as West Indies crashed to 109 all out chasing New Zealand’s 133 for six. Kycia Knight and Natasha Mclean began laying the foundation with an opening stand of 25 after New Zealand, sent in to bat, had set a winning target of 134. However, Bates ended the partnership when McLean was caught for 9 without scoring a boundary while Knight who struck two fours was also caught in the next over for 15. West Indies had stumbled to 26 for two when captain Merissa Aguilleira and Kyshona Knight attempted to rescue the innings by way of a third-wicket stand, which produced 23 runs before it
expired with the run-out of Aguilleira for 11. However, Shemaine Campbelle joined Knight and together they continued the repair mission in a dogged top order fight by adding an additional 28 runs for the fourth wicket. Campbelle smashed two boundaries and faced 17 balls in a top score of 23 before Bates again spoiled the party by having her caught behind and effectively subduing the Windies best efforts to rekindle the run chase. Six balls earlier, Knight had departed, succumbing to Felicity Leydon-Davis, caught and bowled for 21, which included three fours, while Campbelle’s departure signalled a further batting collapse as the last five West Indies wickets fell for 20 runs. Bates was the best New Zealand bowler finishing with three for 21 while Sophie Devine picked up two for 14. Devine, player-of-thematch, was the top scorer as well with 46 after West Indies,
who won the toss, had sent in New Zealand to bat first. Devine put on key partnerships with Sara McGlashan (18) and Katie Perkins (34) to give the White Ferns a competitive total. Shakera Selman was the leading wicket- taker for the West Indies grabbing three for

Australia wrap up series in Newlands thriller German clubs need to (REUTERS) - Australia’s Ryan Harris took the last two wickets as South Africa came within five overs of saving the third Test on a dramatic day in which a third umpire decision came close to deciding the outcome of the match. South Africa were bowled out for 265 as Australia won the series-deciding third Test by 245 runs at Newlands yesterday, leaving their captain Graeme Smith to retire from international cricket with a defeat. Not even a controversial third umpire decision could derail Australia’s victory charge, though they left it late in the day to force the win with Harris (4 for 32) the hero. The Proteas looked as though they would escape with a draw as they got within
five overs of safety but Harris bowled out Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel to wrap up victory for the tourists. Vernon Philander was not out on 51 after surviving a controversial moment with 16 overs remaining that left Australia seething when third umpire Richard Illingworth overturned a decision against him. Mitchell Johnson produced a fierce bouncer that clearly caught the right thumb of the South African, who was given out by on-field umpire Aleem Dar. Philander reviewed the decision and it was overturned based on the view that the batsman’s hand was not on the bat handle, as replays looked inconclusive and the Australians were

seething, leading to an ugly verbal confrontation between touring captain Michael Clarke and Steyn. The victory gave Australia the series 2-1 and came in the wake of their 5-0 thrashing of England in the home Ashes series played earlier this year. “I didn’t enjoy much of today to be honest, it was a long day and it was getting pretty close at the end,” Australia captain Michael Clarke said at the post-match presentation. “South Africa have always been the hardest challenge for me as an individual player and this series was no different.” Clarke believed his bowling attack, which he described as the best in the world on arrival in South Africa, made the difference. “Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris have been exceptional, James Pattinson has come in and done a job and Nathan Lyon has been good in the series as well.” South Africa started the day

Philander, Faf du Plessis (47), JP Duminy (43) and AB de Villiers (43) all spent time at the crease, but not long enough to save the Proteas from a first series defeat since Australia won by the same scoreline in the 2008/09 season. The match is the last for South Africa’s Smith who announced his retirement from international cricket after day three of the Test having played in 117 five-day games, 109 as skipper. “The resilience and courage the guys showed today was immense, we were outplayed in the whole Test match so we needed to find something today. To take it as deep as we did is a huge effort from the boys,” Smith said. “It’s also important to congratulate Michael and the Australia team on a series victory; it’s always been a pleasure playing against them.”

challenge Bayern more - Dortmund boss
(REUTERS) - Bundesliga clubs should offer more resistance and not roll over and accept defeat against a Bayern Munich side marching towards another league crown, Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said yesterday. Bayern, treble winners last season, are 20 points clear at the top with Dortmund in second place and the title race all but finished after 23 matchdays with 11 left to play. “I respect the work of Bayern a lot but that does not mean that we - as well as the other Bundesliga clubs - have only got to send letters of submissiveness to Munich,” Watzke told sportbild magazine. “We have the task of beating Bayern on occasion. We should not hang our ambitions to beat Bayern at the cloakroom.” Bayern have been unbeaten in the Bundesliga for more than 16 months with their last loss dating back to October 2012. With another record-breaking run this season Bayern are on track to defend their German league and Cup titles. They also beat Arsenal 2-0 last month in London in their Champions League round of 16 first leg tie as they seek to become the first team to successfully defend that trophy. Their dominance - financial and sporting - has resulted in the Bavarians being accused of creating a “boring” league with some clubs resting key players against Bayern to keep them fit for other games they feel they have more chance of winning. Schalke 04 coach Jens Keller even joked ahead of their 5-1 demolition by Bayern last week that he would put the team bus in goal to avoid a thrashing. “Such comments are not helpful,” said Watzke, whose club won the league in 2011 and 2012 and lost the 2013 Champions League final to Bayern. “Club officials should not appear to be so submissive. I am convinced players register such comments. No courage is created if one is just happy to have gotten an invitation to the Kaefer (Munich restaurant),” Watzke said.

CDC, Petra and Ministry of Health organise Gender Base Violence Seminar By Calvin Roberts “GENDER Base Violence refers to the knowledge and appreciation of the social and cultural differences between women and men, and how these result in differences in roles, power relations, privileges, responsibilities, needs, and access to and control over resources and benefits.” Yesterday, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Petra Organisation, commenced a two-day seminar for coaches of schools who are presently competing in the Milo Under-20 Football tournament, in the Ministry’s boardroom. Present at the opening ceremony were Co-Directors of Petra Organisation Marlon Cole and Troy Mendonca, CDC Representative Nicolette Henry, Coordinator Gender Base Unit within the Ministry Joy Gravesande, Dr Ertenisia Hamilton and some coaches of the schools. In his welcoming remarks, Cole thanked both the CDC and Ministry for making the seminar a reality, moreso because of its focus and objective. “Because of the focus and

‘Obeah Man’ Jeffrey set to defend Berbice leg this Sunday
AFTER successfully staging the first leg on the West Demerara roadways last Sunday, organisers of the Cheddi Jagan Memorial cycling trilogy will take the event to the Ancient County of Berbice this Sunday, as has been the case for more than a decade and a half. The event will pedal off at 09:00hrs in front of Freedom House in New Amsterdam, following brief remarks from members of the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), proceed to Number 55 Village before returning to Port Mourant for the finish, a distance of 50 miles. The veterans, mountain bikers and females will turn at Hogstye on the upward journey and finish at Port Mourant, while the senior and junior riders will do the full distance. The talented Raynauth ‘Obeah Man’ Jeffrey of Team Coco (Guyana) is set to defend the senior title, having won last year’s event in a 2h: 13m: 26secs, while Raul Leal, who won last Sunday’s event after returning to the sport following a vehicular accident last year, is
Raynauth Jeffrey the defending champion of the junior category. The experienced Kennard Lovell won the veterans category last year, while Ozia McAulay and Hazina Barrett were also winners on the day, copping the mountain bike and female divisions respectively. The first six finishers in the
Open category and the top three in the junior, veteran, mountain bike and female events will be rewarded, while eight prime prizes will be at stake in this 17th edition of the event that is once again being sponsored by BK International. According to national coach and organiser of the day’s activities, Hassan Mohamed, transportation for cyclists and officials will leave for Berbice on Sunday morning at 05:00hrs from the National Sports Commission building on Middle Street. Jeffrey has emerged as the top rider of the event over the last two years under the points system that was introduced in 2012 and will be presented with his prize at the presentation ceremony on Sunday. In the six races in 2012 and 2013, Jeffrey accumulated 38 points, followed by Robin Persaud (30) and Orville Hinds (21) and under the points system, the first six finishers were given 10 points for a win; eight for second; six for third; four for fourth, three for fifth and two for sixth.
said men are a significant share of the victims in gender violence, even as she expressed her Organisation’s pleasure at being associated with the seminar. “In recent times, there have been lots of national effort to highlight Gender Base Violence and to this end, the Ministry of Health has greatly increased its focus to combat Gender Base Violence. I hope our efforts would contribute significantly to dispelling hits that primarily plaguing our society,” said Henry. She added, “I hope that everyone understands that Gender Base Violence is more than physical violence and we want our entire community to appreciate the fact that men are a significant share of the victims and we aspire to create a broader understanding that the Gender Base Violence has a significant economic cost in developing and developed countries alike. “We would like everyone to remember that while women are in the large majority of Gender Base Violence, they are also leading the fight to eliminate this growth of epidemic and we all need to recognise that men and boys, women and girls need to work together to eliminate Gender Base Violence.” Henry said the epidemic can
be eradicated, if men and boys are furnished with the correct information. “We can all think of millions of examples and if we provide men with a little more information, a few more results and bit of encouragement, they themselves can be far more supporting, communicating and caring for their partners and family members. “This is not rocket science, but yet it is not happening on a significant scale. Today, as we begin this workshop through football, it is meant to address issues such as that and I wish to welcome each and every one of you participants here today.” Dr Hamilton thanked Petra for giving the Ministry of Health the opportunity to address the issue, while she also thanked the CDC for partnering with the Ministry and Petra to make it a reality, using sports as a vehicle to spread the message. Mendonca expressed his delight at the response shown by the coaches in attending the seminar, saying it can only help them to go back to their charges and better equip them with ways and methods to handle Gender Base Violence, even as he thanked the Ministry and CDC for their unwavering support.
PMCC to hold fund-raising match on March 30 ROHAN Kanhai, Basil Butcher, Alvin Kallicharran and Mahendra Nagamootoo were all members of the Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC), who went on to wear the maroon cap of the West Indies, while Andre Percival, Homchand Pooran and Vishal Nagamootoo, just to name a few, represented Guyana, also out of the club. Now under new management, with its president being cricket enthusiast Vicram Seubarran, the PMCC will be holding a one-day fund-raising four-team cricket tournament at its ground on Sunday March 30. According to Seubarran, who was elected to head the club last month, the main purpose of this fund-raising drive is to acquire funds for the purchase of covers for the club’s pitch. “We will be extending invitations to three other teams, namely Bermine out of Berbice along with Demerara Cricket Club and Everest Cricket Club from Demerara, to join us on this day, for which we have sought and got permission from the Berbice Cricket Board, to host the activity. Each team will be entitled to three guest players, which means all four clubs can use players of the calibre of former Guyana and West Indies fast bowler Brandon Bess along with the hard-hitting Jonathan Foo, to bolster their chances of winning,” said Seubarran. A winners’ purse of $60 000 and trophy will be up for grabs while the runners-up will pocket $40 000 and a trophy, with the Man-of-the-Match in the Final receiving a trophy as well. Admission to the venue would be $100 without a lunch ticket and $500 with a lunch ticket. Drinks and food will be on sale while a trampoline and Granny Ivelaw Dancing Girls, coupled with a sound system, will keep the fans active during the matches and intermissions. The two semifinals will be 15 overs each, while the final will be 20 overs per side. On a brighter note, Seubarran expressed gratitude to Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club Hilbert Foster, who issued to both Lloydel Lewis and Arif Chan, their transfer papers, enabling them to don the colours of PMCC from April 1. “While I am happy that these two players were given the permission to play for Port Mourant, for which I must say thanks to Hilbert Foster, it would have been wonderful for us to utilise their services in our upcoming Busta ‘Champion of Champions’ semifinal against Albion on Saturday. “However, I am confident that PMCC, who have undergone some intense training under the watchful eyes of coach Gavin Nedd, will triumph over Albion on Saturday and book a place in the final,” said Seubarran. He urged all past members of the club to return and give of their support, since it is his aim to take the club back to its glory days of yore, when the Kallicharrans, Nagamootoos, Poorans, Percivals, Kanhais and Butchers played for Guyana and later West Indies in their own rights. “The club has a rich history, since in Kanhai it has produced Berbice’s greatest Test cricketer, while Mahendra Nagamootoo is the Regional record-holder for Most Wickets, even as Percival contributed to Guyana’s successful reign as a youth team in the early 90s. “It is my aim and heart’s desire to take it back to those days of yore, but I cannot do it all by myself, hence I am appealing to those players who once donned the club’s colours, to come out and give their support, especially in the lead-up to this event on March 30,” said Seubarran.
