Guyana not ‘out of the woods’ – President Ramotar

- FATF to undertake targeted review of Guyana “I do not know what form the review will take, probably people will come here to look at what we are doing….there is another meeting in October and I suspect that this is where, after the review, the report will be made. We are not out of the woods though.” “These dangers are real…we cannot sit on our hands and do nothing, so we continue to fight, advocate and argue that Guyana has a unique situation and in many ways we have been getting some measure of reprieves. Unfortunately, it is being turned around on us to say the Government is creating hysteria. This is not so. The things we are talking about are really, real. They are there and we will continue to first try and pass the Bill” -President Donald Ramotar By Vanessa Narine THE Financial Action Task Force (FATF) accepted Guyana’s referral from its regional body, the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) – an ‘effective’ blacklisting, and is expected to begin a targeted

review of Guyana soon, the results of which will be presented at a FATF meeting in October this year. However, President Donald Ramotar yesterday made it clear that Guyana is “not out of the woods” as yet. “CFATF, on its website said that they have forward-

ed Guyana’s case to a FATF review and FATF has accepted their position, which means that we are not out of the woods just yet,” he said at a news conference at State House. Guyana’s non-compliance with international standards, 80 per cent of which would have been addressed with the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill resulted in its referral to FATF on May 29. According to the President, FATF is expected to write Guyana officially this week, but until Guyana is in possession of the letter, the specifics of the review are

still to be ascertained. “I do not know what form the review will take, probably people will come here to look at what we are doing….there is another meeting in October and I suspect that this is where, after the review, the report will be made. We are not out of the woods though,” he said. NOT INCLUDED Guyana was not included in FATF’s public statement that was issued on Friday. However, on the same day CFATF updated its statement on Guyana to indicate that the country’s referral to FATF was accepted. The President noted that he is “not unhappy” that Guyana was not included on FATF’s dreaded public statement, but stated that the review process by the international organisation still continues. “If you look at the CFATF website they are saying the review will start… hopefully by next week (this current week) the process will be clearer,” he said.

Mr. Ramotar dismissed the notion that Guyana’s non-inclusion on FATF’s public statement invalidates the emphasis Government

President Donald Ramotar has placed on the enactment of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. “These dangers are real…we cannot sit on our hands and do nothing, so we continue to fight, advocate and argue that Guyana has a unique situation and in many

ways we have been getting some measure of reprieves. Unfortunately, it is being turned around on us to say the Government is creating hysteria. This is not so. The things we are talking about are really, real. They are there and we will continue to first try and pass the Bill,” he said. The Head of State made it clear that the Government’s position on compliance is unambiguous and very clear. Additionally, the counter-measures advised against Guyana by CFATF last November, which officially regionally blacklisted Guyana, remains in force. These include, among others: the requirement of enhanced due diligence measures; introducing enhanced reporting mechanisms or systematic reporting of financial transactions; refusing the establishment of subsidiaries or branches or representative offices in the country concerned, or otherwise taking into account the fact that the relevant financial i n s t i t u t i o n i s f ro m a country that does not have adequate AML/CFT systems and limiting the business relationships or Please turn to page 4

MESSAGE OF MADAME FIRST LADY DEOLATCHMEE RAMOTAR ON THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN 2014 I EXTEND greetings and best wishes to the Muslim community in Guyana as it commences the Holy Month of Ramadan. This is considered the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and has special significance because it was during this month, fourteen centuries ago, that Allah began to reveal the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. During this month, Muslims deepen their relationship with the Creator and their fellow human beings through acts of prayer, abstinence and charity. Ramadan offers all Muslims the opportunity to perfect themselves and their faith by being closer to Allah and to their fellow human beings. The Holy Month allows believers to step aside from the worldly pleasures and desires and to embrace acts of self- purification of the mind and body. Fasting restrains and protects the FIRST LADY body from the excesses of food and MRS. DEOLATCHMEE RAMOTAR drink. It has been proven to have beneficial physiological benefits. Through fasting and abstinence, the body is protected and renewed and discipline is promoted. This disciplining of the mind is very important in building good character and relations with the Creator and with our fellow human beings. Actions that are blasphemous and hurtful to others originate in the mind. The harbouring of ill thoughts and feelings begin in the mind and can lead to harmful actions. The practices of fasting and abstinence help us to discipline our thoughts also. By promoting purity of body and mind, Ramadan encourages us to purge ourselves of ill thoughts and feelings towards others. As we therefore join in welcoming the advent of Ramadan, let us be mindful that we can all, as Guyanese, gain valuable lessons and insights from our fellow Muslims Brothers and Sisters and their observance of this Holy Month. May Goodwill be on us all during this special month!

PPP questions Granger’s refusal to testify at Rodney COI THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP), in a statement on Friday, questioned the refusal of the Leader of the Opposition, Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger, to appear before the ongoing Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the death of Dr. Walter Rodney. The PPP said: “The PNC Leader, David Granger is reported to have said that he and his Party will not be reversing their position with the Walter Rodney Commission set up by President Donald Ramotar into the death of historian Dr. Walter Rodney even though he was identified by name as a commander in the army during the period when Rodney met his death. “The question that needed to be answered is why is it that Granger is refusing to appear before the Commission despite overwhelming evidence which point in the direction of his Party's involvement in the death of Dr. Rodney.” According to the party, it would seem that Granger is “afraid to face up the truth,” which is becoming increasingly manifest every time someone takes to the stand, in particular those who witnessed first-hand the atrocities of that period. “If, as Granger is saying that he and his party has clean hands then why is he so reluctant to give his take on the events as they unfolded at that time when he was a key player in the military? One would have thought that the best recourse to clearing his name is to take to the stand and explain his and the army's involvement in the matter,” the ruling party said. The PPP maintains its earlier expressed view that the Commission should use its power vested in it to sum-

mon all witness with relevant information to share in order to ensure that there is full disclosure of what transpired. “There can be no 'sacred cows' or 'untouchables' insofar as the Inquiry is concerned and appearance before the Commission should not be an option which any individual or party should seek to exercise,” the party said. It added that the overall objective should be to arrive at the truth and any known individual or group with information considered helpful

DAVID GRANGER to the work of the Commission should be made mandatory to appear and share information at their disposal. The PPP added: “It is clear that Granger and the PNC is seeking to belittle

and denigrate both the decision to establish the Commission and the character of some of those who gave evidence in an attempt to shield itself from the shame and embarrassment which is emanating from the disclosures. “The PNC is clearly in a denial mode as an increasing body of new information is coming up which links Granger’s PNC to the death of Rodney.” “The truth is that no amount of denial will suffice to erase the agonising pain inflicted by the PNC on Guyana’s body-politic during that period in our history which will go down as the darkest and most painful episode in our political history.” The ruling party stressed too that it feels justified in its call to have the Inquiry set up and views the evidence and confessions made so far by those who appeared and give evidence as a necessary condition for the restoration of our political health. “It is the view of the Party that the Commission is tantamount to a Truth Commission as was the case of South Africa during the post-apartheid period which can only bring positive benefit to our society as it seeks to come to terms with its past,” the PPP said.

Guyana not... financial transactions with the identified country or persons in that country. In November 2011 the CFATF first brought to the attention of its members certain jurisdictions, including Guyana, with significant strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT regime with a view to encouraging expeditious rectification of the identified strategic deficiencies Guyana and the CFATF developed an Action Plan with identified target dates to address the strategic deficiencies that exist in Guyana’s national architecture to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. However, Government and the combined Opposition have been gridlocked over the compliance in the

areas requiring the passage of legislation. ALL EFFORTS MADE In the non-legislative sphere, the Head of State pointed out that his administration is making all efforts to ensure that it does what needs to be done to ensure compliance with FATF standards. “The things that we have to do, the things that are non-legislative, the things that are administrative and in our (Government) domain are being put in place. For example the SOCU (Special Organised Crime Unit) would be set up shortly and all the other non-legislative measures that have to be put in place are in place,”

he said. Mr. Ramotar contends that Guyana has an obligation to comply with international standards, albeit that Guyana’s economy is a small one that does not pose a huge threat to the stability of the global economy. He said: “This is an international process. These are things that are in the hands of the international community. It is not for me….it is not totally in our hands. The decisions are taken at CFATF and FATF level.” The Bill, to meet the requirements the FATF-Style Regional Bodies (FSRB), CFATF, was tabled in the National Assembly in April 2013, but referred to a Parliamentary Special Select Committee and eventually voted down by the combined Opposition in November 2013. The Bill was re-tabled

in December 2013, and again referred to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee, chaired by Ms. Gail Teixeira, where it has been since. Government had repeated its willingness to have the Bill passed, and has demonstrated its commitment to same, but up to the last meeting of the Select Committee, no moves have been made with the Bill. QUESTION OF MOTIVES The Head of Sate questioned the motives of the combined Opposition in withholding their support for the critically important Bill. “A lot of what they are saying about why they don’t want the Bill may be, I am beginning to form the opinion, that their initial reasons are not the reasons they don’t want the Bill,” he said. Both Opposition parties,

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), have linked conditionalities to their support for passage of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. APNU proposed three amendments, which were included in the Party’s draft amendments to the Principal AML/CFT Act, which President Donald Ramotar said would be supported by his Government if the Party would agree to pass the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill but this was rejected. Additionally, APNU’s position is an ‘all-or-nothing’ one, as the Party maintains its demands not only for their Bill, but also restated its call on the President to give his assent to several Bills passed in the National Assembly, including the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that

elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. The Head of State has already forwarded his explanation for his non-assent to the National Assembly. On the other hand, the AFC, which is fully behind APNU’s position, is demanding the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which the government has agreed to, providing that Cabinet retains its no-objection role in the process; but the latter position has been rejected by the AFC. However, on May 29, after the announcement by CFATF, the AFC, in a statement, noted that it is now willing to budge on its position, and support Cabinet’s retention of its noobjection role. At the October meeting, Guyana will know its fate and whether it will be officially blacklisted by FATF.

Argentine Vice-President Boudou charged in corruption case (BBC News) ARGENT I N E Vi c e - P r e s i d e n t Amado Boudou has been charged in a corruption case. Mr Boudou is suspected of using his influence when he was economy minister to ensure that a contract to print Argentina’s currency was awarded to a company he allegedly controlled. Earlier this month, he was questioned for more than seven hours by a judge, in a closed-door court session. If convicted, he faces up to six years in jail. He denies any wrongdoing and has rejected calls to step

while awaiting trial. Five other suspects have also been charged.

The case involves the Ciccone Calcografica printing company that has been under investigation for more than three years. Mr Boudou is suspected of using a front man to buy the company when it filed for bankruptcy in 2010. The company later received tax breaks to pay its debts. It also published material used in the re-election campaign of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in 2011. Mr Boudou was once seen as a possible successor to President Fernandez.

Heated LifeSport protest inside and outside Parliament By Ria Taitt Political Editor (Trinidad Express) AN ARMED militia of about 250 men is being cultivated at Carapo on State lands, “posing a threat to the national security of the country,” according to Diego Martin North East MP Colm Imbert. “In fact, the group is building a huge infrastructure on the State lands funded by the Government,” he added. He said the funds were coming through the corrupt administration of the LifeSport programme and

he linked Rajaee Ali, a main member of the Carapo group, to the murder of the late Senior Counsel Dana Seetahal. (See Pages 4 and 5) And the Minister of National Security was aware of all of this, Imbert said. Imbert also asked why the minister in charge of State lands was not dealing with “this growing presence of this criminal enterprise in Carapo”. “We making joke in this country, you know!” Imbert said as he stressed this was a very serious situation. He asked what was the Prime Minister doing about this.

Christine Lagarde

Devaluation painful but necessary, says IMF chief (Jamaica Observer) -- CHRISTINE Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) described the local currency depreciation as painful but necessary to achieve competitiveness and restore dignity. “It is painful but it has restored lost competitiveness,” she told a packed lecture hall at the University of West Indies, Mona on Friday. “You cannot bleed your reserves in order to support your currency that is overvalued. The currency has to have the right value and the Jamaica dollar was overvalued,” Lagarde insisted. “It is a credit of this government, the finance minister and Governor of Central Bank to have taken the bull

by the horns because it’s hard as it impacts on consumers in the short term,” she said of the depreciation of the local currency. Lagarde delivered a 40 minute speech which outlined the present and the historic challenges of Jamaica and the Caribbean. “The IMF has changed, yet we do not always enjoy a stellar reputation in some countries. Most of that is unfair as we are the scapegoat,” she said explaining that governments come to the IMF as a last resort and the subsequent harsh reforms are executed by the government rather than IMF. Lagarde, an invited guest of the government, spent three days in the island.

Guyana SAYINGS AND GOING OF US ENVOY HARDT

THE outgoing USA Ambassador to Guyana, Mr. Brent Hardt, has been very much in the news within recent weeks. Generally perceived as a media-oriented diplomat, envoy Hardt has not been reluctant to publicly engage in controversial national issues—even when avoidable. In the process he may well have conveyed the impression, at times, of relishing such an approach in sharp contrast to other accredited diplomats to Guyana from other friendly nations. Now, as he winds up his diplomatic tour of duty, Ambassador Hardt remains media focused in making news, some of positive developments, others unnecessarily irritating. Two most recent contrasting examples would suffice: Mr. Hardt was

pleased to identify his work here with Washington’s decision to, finally, establish in Guyana an office of the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). This has long been a matter of interest for the Guyana Government, consistent with its overall efforts to combat trafficking in drugs as well human trafficking and gun-running, and, therefore, a warmly welcome development. Guyana is on record as expressing gratitude for the related security assistance it has also received from other overseas partners as well, such as the United Kingdom and Canada. Ambassador Hardt could justifiably take credit for his own enabling efforts that have resulted in last week’s official public announcement that he shared with President Donald Ramotar on the coming DEA office here.

Ambassador Hardt has also alluded to his efforts—appreciated by the Guyana Government—to encourage and sustain interest by American investors. In our vital natural resources sector, in particular oil exploration, this remains a work in progress and we anxiously await likely positive developments. Further, given our preference against referencing, at this stage, the unpleasant political interferences that had so seriously threatened the US-funded Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) Project, we are looking forward to mature and competent involvement by all relevant partners for the successful implementation of the various segments. At the same time, it is

relevant to observe that, as if he cherishes being diplomatically different, Ambassador Hardt thought it necessary to engage in a bit of public lecturing last week on his perception of the failure by Guyana and its CARICOM partners to discuss with Cuba issues pertaining to democracy and human rights. As reported in our yesterday’s edition, Ambassador Hardt said: “I wish Guyana and other countries would reflect their own values and the aspirations of their people in their discussions with Cuba to try to encourage them to open up a bit and give the people the freedoms that the people of this Region enjoy, demand and expect.” The government and people of Cuba have much, in their own experiences, their political and social

Ogunseye has shown us the PNC’s true nature I WANT to establish very clearly that this is a new dispensation that we are having and enjoying in Guyana. I am not saying this because of press freedom (and even abuse of the same), but my assertion stems from the fact that we do not have sponsored state killings (as was the case back in the pre-1992 era). Judging from what Tacuma Ogunseye is bringing to light, I note that “soldiers from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) (really) played key roles in the political assassination of Dr. Walter Rodney…” and they also executed a number of people. Ogunseye did not hedge; he was most certain that “...the GDF acted under the direction of the dictatorship Government of the People’s National Congress (PNC). His own words: “... the “repressive regime” of the

PNC authoritarian State employed GDF soldiers in clandestine operations ...” Now, the corroboration for this kind of assertion was already mentioned. All we have to do is to go back to what Robert Allan Gates explained, during his time with the independent commissioners. Gates did detail already that the then “... Army Chief, Major General (retired) Norman McLean and top Police Intelligence brass, the late Laurie Lewis, instructed GDF soldier, Gregory Smith to assassinate Dr. Rodney, with an electronic explosive device that a mystery Russian KGB espionage agent, who worked as a consultant to the corrupt PNC regime, supplied.” This really puts the PPP/C ruling administration in the positive. In this era, we have ‘fair and free’ elections, press freedom and the protection of even

the most vicious enemies of Government. These enemies are bordering on provocation in their words, actions and even threats. I think of how one pseudo-commentator repeatedly kept on lavishing praises on this said Ogunseye, and my guess is that he will have to agree with what his ‘man’ is now bringing to light. I refer here not only to happenings as these related to Dr. Rodney’s assassination, but to the kind of Government that ran and ruined this country, for nearly three decades. Ogunseye’s assessment of that dark period is very staggering. He spoke of: political “repression” under the PNC Government that caused Guyana to rank with Haiti as the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere; the “massive electoral fraud” that saw the PNC Government steal the 1973 national elections

through blatant vote rigging; and the 1978 referendum, designed to overhaul the Guyana Constitution and entrench the PNC dictatorial powers. Ogunseye also gave the reason for this kind of repressive regime. It was that “... Leader of the PNC Government, Prime Minister, Forbes Burnham, wanted to hang on to political power at all cost and by any means.” Ogunseye enlightened that “Burnham suffered from two “characteristics”: a thirst for power, so that once he gained power he would never lose it, since “he felt no need to change regime every five years through elections”; and (that) “he (Burnham) was a vicious politician” who repressed those he perceived to be his enemies. PNC really does owe Guyanese people a lot. ATTIYA BAKSH

culture of resistance against overt and covert means to destabilise their revolutionary system, to guide them after 52 years of defending themselves and country against an unprecedented US economic, trade and financial embargo. For her part, Foreign Minister Carolyn RodriquesBirkett lost no time in responding to an invited comment by the ‘Chronicle’ to Ambassador Hardt’s concern about lack of “democracy” in Cuba. The Foreign Minister

was precise: “This matter has come up before,” she declared, “and I indicated that no one should instruct Guyana on what it should tell anyone. I am aware that there are several developed countries that deal with other countries which do not practice the democracy that is practiced in Guyana, or in the US for that matter.” Good wishes to you, Ambassador Hardt, as you take your leave from Guyana for whatever new role awaits you by President Barack Obama’s administration.

Cuban Ambassador commends Guyana IN regard to the article: “Rodrigues-Birkett, Hardt lock horns over status quo in Cuba” by Vanesa Narine, published in the edition June 27, 2014, I want to express on behalf of the people and Government of Cuba the deepest gratitude for the consistent position adopted once again by the highest authorities of Guyana in regard the new aggression and intromission in the internal affairs and the sovereignty of the nations of the US representative in Guyana, which seek to interfere with the fraternal historic relation enjoyed by Guyana and Cuba for decades. The universal rejecting position adopted in the UN General Assembly for many years, in a consecutive manner, calling for an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the US governments to the Cuban people, talk by its own, about the nature of the US imperialism. And in spite of this policy, classified as genocidal and criminal by the international law because they want to kill the Cuban people, our country continues developing the way of govern-

ment and its people decided, not any imposed, and in which the humanism and the international solidarity are crucial issues. That’s why the people of Cuba cooperate with other peoples and governments of the world, sharing what we have, without absolutely any conditionality. I avail the opportunity to ratify to Guyana the will to continue developing the bonds and cooperation among our peoples. We should defend, all together, our nations and the integrationist process of our Latin-American and Caribbean countries without interference. It is the way to defend the right to the Southern nations to a sustainable development and to economic international order just and equitable. As the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro said, we have to globalise the solidarity. It is a pity that the good relations between our nations disturb some persons.

Public Private Partnerships: A glance at Asia By Keith Burrowes OVER the past two weeks, I have written several articles on the issue of publicprivate partnerships (PPPs or P3s), and this article is the last edition in this series. To recap, the basic model of what constitutes a publicprivate partnership is, to quote the EU, “A contractual agreement between the public and the private sectors, whereby the private operator commits to provide public services that have traditionally been supplied or financed by public institutions. The ultimate goal of PPPs is to obtain more ‘value for money’ than traditional public procurement options would deliver.” In this installation of this series, I am going to take a look at how liberally we can interpret terms like ‘public services’ -- as a means of opening up the basic concept of PPPs -- but for now, we need to look at the foundation of any good publicprivate venture, the policy environment. Looking at the research I’ve done over the past week or so on the issue of P3s, I’ve discovered that Asian countries in particular seem to have gone the furthest in the developing world in instituting workable P3 programmes, although -- as we might expect -- it is the developed world, the UK being the foremost example, which has made public-private partnerships into a high science. P3s are increasingly recognised as crucial to development. As a Japanese ministry report, cited below, states: “Carrying out infrastructure construction projects efficiently, using PPPs, can also be evaluated from the perspective of contribution to poverty reduction. In the joint-study report (conduct-

ed by a Japanese ministry), ‘inclusive development’ means that poverty reduction and infrastructure construction are regarded as a pair of wheels; infrastructure construction drives economic growth that leads to poverty reduction, while promoting the supply of public services such as electricity and transportation, which will contribute to improving people’s living standards.” In terms of a policy statement for the Asian model of PPPs, this implies a clear mandate for development in which the PPP s’ addventure -- infrastructure construction projects -- is arguably as incidental as it is correlative to the poverty reduction, something to take note of, since it bears on what I’m going to posit in next week’s article. On the point of regional policy, there has been some recent focus to put this in place at the level of the Caribbean Community. A few months ago, at the opening of CARICOM’s 19th Council on Human and Social Development (COHSOD) meeting right here in Guyana, Secretary-General Edwin Carrington directly linked the creation of a P3 policy framework to sustainable development in the region: “Policy coherence in human and social development no doubt makes it imperative for labour to be mainstreamed into the social and economic strategies of the region. Among other things, this... means establishing a vision of the parameters of growth and development that are directly linked to the human resource requirements as a main prerequisite of development. But these cannot be achieved without a concerted effort to harness sustainable public-private partnerships, strengthen institutional capabilities and create the enabling environment for human resource de-

velopment.” The perennial problem, however, with regional initiatives such as this is that they often do not go beyond the specific donor-funded conference. True, this typical failure to launch often has an associated element of lack of funding; developing economies often do not have the capital to invest in the sort of trial-and-error conceptual development process that results in working practical programmes. That said, innovation often costs less than people make out.

And in this case, the groundwork has largely been done already, with supporting information easily available as it should be in this age of the Internet. The Seoul Declaration on Public-Private Partnerships in Asia was actually built upon extensive work undertaken by the United Nations, and enshrined in several declarations and other policy documents, beginning with the Millennium Declaration of September 2000. What has happened is that

this has in turn spawned numerous other studies, reports and policy documents on P3s in Asia, undertaken by multilateral agencies, government agencies and ministries, non-governmental organisations and – as one should expect considering the issue – private companies. Within these documents is a wealth of useful information on P3s from a regional perspective, as well as national ones. For example, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry issued a report on the Asian P3 Study Group (2004) which makes for useful reading from an investor’s point of view considering the increasing influence of Asia – Japan and China particularly – in the region. The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), has published a seminal discussion paper, “Infrastructure Challenges in South Asia: The Role of Public-Private Partnerships,” written by GeethanjaliNataraj which makes a sobering case of both the usefulness as well as limitations for P3s in Asia, usefully pointing out that while such partnerships will not replace state

financing of large-scale projects, they free up state agencies to focus on their core mandates while still adapting to the changing infrastructural needs of the specific country. The international legal firm of Norton, with an office in Singapore, has its own publication on P3s in Asia inclusive of opportunities for investment as well as country specific risk assessments. In short, the resources to at least begin the establishment of a P3 policy framework, as touted by CARICOM’s Secretary General, are already well within the public domain and accessible by anyone willing to dig. Therefore, the available information can certainly provide direction and serve as the basis for the regional embrace of the public-private partnership policy. Next week, presupposing that we can build on the experience of the Asian experience in PPP policy formulation, I am going to take a look at how we can transform such policy into workable, practicable projects that are relevant to the development of the region.

FOCUS ON HIV/AIDS STIGMA AND GANJA USE IN CARICOM

and that member states of the Community were moving to change their laws to decriminalise possession of small quantities of marijuana for

personal use. Subsequently followed was a complaint from the Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society (JCHS) against the declared intention of CARICOM governments repealing laws that discriminate against and criminalise persons in consensual sex acts between adults that bear the dreaded HIV stigma. The troubling dimension for the JCHS, as it said, was a recent press statement from the CARICOM Secretariat that the Community’s Heads of Government would be considering at their 35th summit this week various recommendations for action on the elimination of HIV-related stigma and discrimination. The recommendations origi-

nated with the Community’s Pan-Caribbean Partnership Against HIV/AIDS Justice for All project. In the reasoning of the ‘Healthy Society Coalition’,

this announced decision by CARICOM to take action on the PANCAP recommendations would be an imposition that “fundamentally re-orders society.” Further, that implementation of the recommendations would be “contrary to the CARICOM Charter of Civil Society.” As independent observers would note, whatever the merits of the Health Coalition’s case against CARICOM leaders, taking action on the PANCAP recommendations in relation to eliminating HIV stigma and discrimination, it should be borne in mind that though warmly welcomed 17 years ago, the Charter of Civil Society has, most regrettably, NO legal status.

35th regular summit, hosted by Antigua and Barbuda’s first-time Prime minister, Gaston Browne, not a single government of the 15-member Community had tabled legislation to give the Charter of Civil Society legal status. Perhaps Jamaica’s Health Coalition, as well as groups and organisations across this Region committed to the promotion and defence of human rights and human development could stir action on this front while negotiating their particular concerns over the implementation of PANCAP’s recommendations in dealing with the HIV/AIDS problems. MARIJUANA CHALLENGES

In relation to the claimed “lack of consultation” on CARICOM’s intent to decriminalise possession of small quantities of marijuana for personal use is concerned, a simple truth needs to be appreciated, and not only by the US Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, but all regional and extra-regional partners of the Caribbean Community: That truth is the proposed initiative by the Region’s governments is a work in progress and they are not yet ready to present a collective plan for discussion/ consultation with any foreign partner state or regional agency, institution or organisation.

Just last week, the Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Dr. Kenny Anthony, former head of Legal Affairs at the Community Secretariat in Georgetown, made the very relevant observation that “the movement of (CARICOM) citizens within the Region makes it difficult to deal

necessity for a “regional approach” on what he recognises as a sensitive issue that cannot be ignored. In this context, the Vincentian Prime Minister, who hands over chairmanship of the Community tomorrow to new Prime Minister Browne in An-

with the decriminalisation of marijuana on an individual (country) basis. Therefore, I believe that the issue must be dealt with on the regional level.” Outgoing chairman of CARICOM, Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves of St. Vincent and The Grenadines, fully embrace the

tigua, stressed that “no proper consultation” could have taken place with any representative of the US government, or else, since CARICOM Heads of Government have not yet determined the approaches to be collectively pursued on decriminalising possession and use of marijuana.

Thailand: It’s Quiet Out There

“It’s quiet out there. Too quiet.” IN the old Hollywood movies, that’s the line that one of the intrepid explorers utters just before all hell breaks loose in the jungle. But the army chiefs are probably saying it in Thailand, too. It’s just over a month since the Thai army overthrew Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and took control of the country. The elected government, which had faced months of street protests by an anti-democratic opposition movement that sometimes used violence, knew the coup was coming. Indeed, the demonstrations were explicitly intended to

cause a military coup. Yet the government’s supporters have remained silent. Curious.

Officially, the army puts this down to popular support for the coup. “Thai people, like me, have probably not

been happy for nine years, but since May 22 there is happiness,” said General Prayuth Chan-Ocha, the army chief who now rules

the country. And his soldiers have been doing their best to prove it, at least in Bangkok, organising street parties that offer free food and drink, music and dancing, even free haircuts and a petting zoo. Some Thais clearly are happy about the military coup: they take selfies of themselves with soldiers in riot gear in front of big banners that say HAPPINESS. But their clothes suggest that they belong to the prosperous middle class of Bangkok whose constant anti-government demos were intended to trigger the coup, so why shouldn’t they be happy? Others, generally less well dressed, are a lot less happy. In a striking example

of cultural cross-over, some of them make the three-fingered salute that is used as a gesture of defiance by the oppressed population in the “Hunger Games” films when they pass soldiers in the streets (although you can get arrested for doing that). But where are the mass protests that everybody expected when the long-awaited coup finally happened? The Thai army has some dozen coups to its discredit, but the country has been democratic most of the time since the mid1980s. Politics nevertheless

The Global Fund now a leaner & meaner machine TEN years ago, and after two decades with little to show for ending the devastating HIV/AIDS scourge, coupled with a reemergence of tuberculosis and malaria in poor countries, former United nations Secretary, General Kofi Annan created the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in poor nations. Kofi Annan wanted a US$7-10 billion per year funding for AIDS alone. The Global Fund is a private-public partnership committed to using the developed world’s funds to create a world free from the ravages of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The model has as its basis country ownership through the country coordinating mechanism (CCM) and performance-based funding, where people in their own countries implement their own projects with their own priorities, and the Global Fund grants funding conditional on verifiable outcomes. The Global Fund does not have any local offices in any of its 150 recipient countries it services. Nonetheless, the Global Fund has core structures that include the CCM, the Global Fund Secretariat, Technical Review, and the Global Fund Board, with their locations in Geneva. The CCM comprises the main stakeholders in that country’s response to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The Global Fund Secretariat expects to manage grant portfolios. The Technical Review Panel comprises international experts in the three diseases, and who offer funding recommendations to the Board. The Global Fund Board comprises representatives from donor and recipient governments, civil society, private sector, private foundations, and communities afflicted with the three diseases. Donors at the 2010 Third Voluntary Replenishment Conference pledged US$11.7 billion for the 2011-2013 period. This is well below the war chest that Kofi Annan envisaged. At any rate, this replenishment may enable antiretrovirals to reach 600 million people and may distribute a cumulative total of 500 million insecticide-treated nets by 2015; the United Nations subsequently revised the 6 million figure to 13 million people who would receive antiretrovirals. In its 2011-2016 strategy, the Global Fund is focusing on making best use of value for money and broadens its services beyond AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, to include attending to the Millennium Development Goals in maternal and child health. This strategy raises questions as to the timeliness to expand its mandate, when there is a paucity of funds and where many targets are not being met in the AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria programmes.

The Global Fund applies the principle of performance-based funding, connecting disbursements to outcomes. And between 2005 and 2010, only about 75% of the assessed grants attained their targets. The Global Fund in 2009 granted 21% of international public HIV funding, 65% international tuberculosis funding for the 22 high-burden countries, and 65% of international malaria funding. The Global Fund’s provision of funding per year seems low, particularly in AIDS. The Global Fund was conceived in the heydays of abundant funding. Since 2008, the international meltdown and the international credit crunch in the developed world have converted abundance into scarcity. Quite recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner noted that the global economic recovery is still fragile, due to the steeping oil prices and constant risks from the Euro area. Against this background of a paucity of funds and the

“Against this background of a paucity of funds and the problems of corruption and misappropriation of funds in the developing recipient countries, the Global Fund in February 2012 appointed a General Manager in Gabriel Jaramillo. He already has reduced the Global Fund’s bureaucracy by 40%, with more staff and less bureaucracy.” problems of corruption and misappropriation of funds in the developing recipient countries, the Global Fund in February 2012 appointed a General Manager in Gabriel Jaramillo. He already has reduced the Global Fund’s bureaucracy by 40%, with more staff and less bureaucracy. The General Manager told Sarah Boseley of the Guardian that he has eliminated the two huge departments and replaced them with smaller departments, focusing on small countries and high-risk countries; and enabling timely oversight of

their grants, rather than having these countries’ grants being snowed under by countries with huge populations, as hap-

pened in the past; under such conditions in the past, the Global Fund did not attend to the many small recipient countries in a timely fashion. According to Boseley, there are monthly disease-management committees with partners to review improvements to further integrate recipient countries into the Global Fund’s consultative process. Apparently, amid the fragile global economic recovery, corruption and misappropriation of funds in the resource-constrained countries, donor confidence has waned. Within this context and in an effort to curb these financial atrocities, Jaramillo has to effect additional reforms in creating local offices in the countries receiving grants, in the same way that the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, etc. do. Nevertheless, support for the Global Fund continues to pour in from Spain, Germany, and the Gates Foundation; and the British International Development Secretary, Andrew Mitchell will provide US$204M this year, and U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton remains supportive. General Manager Jaramillo is doing his thing at a fast pace vis-à-vis making the Global Fund a leaner and meaner funding machine. And Jaramillo may provide the new lease of life the Global Fund badly needs. In doing so, Jaramillo and the Global Fund have to quickly reverse the low to moderate public funding for AIDS in poor countries, in order for a larger number of people living with AIDS to have access to anti-retrovirals. Failure to move fast on this front may see an upsurge in HIV infection in those countries. (This article was previously published.)

Thailand: It’s Quiet Out There telecommunications billionaire from humble origins, won a landslide victory. Thaksin’s government openly favoured the downtrodden majority: the mass of poor farmers in the densely populated north and east of the country, and their children who had migrated to the factories of Bangkok. His welfare policies and cheap government loans began to transform their lives – but they also aroused the bitter opposition of better-off people in Bangkok and the south. The army overthrew Thaksin in 2006, and he has lived in exile ever since. Every time the generals handed power back to the civilians, however, they voted in another government loyal to Thaksin: most recently, to one led by his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, who became Prime Minister after the 2011 election. By then, the conservative parties had concluded that they could never win a free election – so

they decided on “reform” instead. The street protests that began last November were led by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee, which demanded the resignation of Yingluck’s government. The PDRC said it would also disrupt any new elections until a committee of “good people” (chosen by the protesters and their friends at court) reformed the constitution to stop poor or badly educated people from voting. Only then could the right people finally win a “free” election. That’s still the plan, and the army seems to be fully committed to it: the junta leader, General Prayuth ChanOcha, says there will be no new elections for up to two years, by which time they will be conducted under a new, “reformed” constitution. So why have the “red shirts” (as the mostly poor supporters of the Shinawatras are known) not taken mass action against the coup, as most

From page 8

observers expected they would? Why is it so quiet out there? One plausible answer is that the leaders of the “red shirts,” hoping to avoid a civil war, are waiting for King Bhumibol Adulyadej to die. The 86-year-old king generally sympathises with the “yellow shirts” (as the coup’s civilian supporters are known), but he is in poor health. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn was close to Thaksin Shinawatra when he was Prime Minister, and if he succeeds to the throne the whole crisis might be resolved peacefully. But Bhumibol might linger on for years, or the “yellow shirts” might even try to break the rules of succession and put Crown Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (who favours them) on the throne instead. The disenfranchised majority won’t stay quiet forever. What is lurking silently out there in the darkness is a civil war

RODNEY’S DEATH: AN ENIGMA BEING ANSWERED Special Report on the Rodney Commission of Inquiry by Shaun Michael Samaroo

Williams ‘defends’ role of PNC Government at Rodney Commission BASIL WILLIAMS used the word “defence” to describe his role as Attorney representing the People’s National Congress (PNC) at the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry last Friday. Williams often adopts a hostile, antagonistic tone at the Commission hearings, and engages the Commissioners in various objections and disagreements, as happened last Friday, when his objections ate up two and a half hours of the day’s proceedings. On Friday, he sought to have the Commission cease its work, and invoked the Opposition-controlled Parliament as a necessary step

President Donald Ramotar in legitimising the Commission’s work. Commission Chairman Sir Richard Cheltenham eventually overruled Williams, telling him if he “disagrees” he “knows what to do.” In his engagements, Williams sought to discredit the testimony of witnesses who testified that the dictatorial

PNC Government that ruled Guyana with an iron fist at the time Dr. Walter Rodney died in a bomb blast. Williams is seeking to portray the PNC as innocent of suspicions, allegations and witness testimonies that swamp the Commission with evidence of PNC culpability in Dr. Rodney’s political assassination. Witnesses testified that the PNC Government employed State resources and used unlawful methods to dispel and crush the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), with Dr. Rodney the popular leader of the WPA. The PNC has attacked the motives of President Donald Ramotar convening the Commission, and has adopted an

Leader of the PNC, Brigadier David Granger, has told the national media that the PNC refuses to offer a “blanket apology” to the Guyanese people, and has refused to appear at the Commission, despite his own name coming up during testimony about the clandestine role that the Guyana Defense Force (DGF) played in the events that led up to and followed Dr. Rodney’s assassination.

Now a fringe Opposition party, the PNC refused to participate or cooperate with the probe of the Commission, which is seeking how and why Dr. Rodney was killed in a bomb blast in Georgetown on June 13, 1980. Williams represents the

in the GDF Army at the time. The GDF and the Guyana Police Force show up constantly in the testimonies, as leading State institutions that executed covert, clandestine conspiracies of the autocratic PNC Government, which resulted in Dr. Rodney’s death, and the subsequent military operation that spirited

away suspected assassinator, ex-Army Sergeant Gregory Smith, to French Guiana. The work of the Commission now grabs public attention, with widespread interest among the population, and across the Diaspora. Intellectuals and political leaders across the Caribbean and even Africa also take keen interest in the work of the Commission. The Presidential Commission is chaired by Sir Cheltenham, a Barbadian legal luminary, with Trinidadian Seenath Jairam and Jamaican Jacqueline Samuels-Brown completing the distinguished tribunal. But since President Ramotar announced the Com-

Sir Richard Cheltenham mission, and it was convened after official publication in the Official Gazette in February, 2014, the PNC has galvanised a small vocal section of public malcontents in trying to discredit its work. Witnesses before the Commission testified of the clandestine role of several people within the Army,

Granger was a senior military officer in the GDF Army at the time. These sentiments cannot be lost on Williams, but in seeing his role as “defender” of the PNC, he may be limiting the role he can play in the Commission fulfilling its historical function, and in opening a platform for the PNC to open its closed political closet to the Guyanese people, and engineer a new political dispensation in the nation.

a party that practiced powerful paramountcy over every State and Government institution in Guyana. When the dictatorship PNC lost free and fair elections in 1992, it had racked up over US$2 Billion in foreign debt, with the entire country in economic and social devastation, including school buildings dilapidated and broken down, and villages and towns in a miserable state of infrastructure disrepair. It is, therefore, disingenuous, for Williams and the wasteful PNC to claim that the Commission, as it probes the period of Guyana’s history that resulted in Dr. Rodney’s brutal death, is wasting taxpayers’ money. In fact, it was precisely the PNC’s wanton disregard for State resources that Dr. Rodney and the WPA sought to end with a popular opposition against the PNC dictatorship. The cost of the Rodney Commission today is miniscule compared to the terrible price Guyanese paid for the misrule and grave abuse of political power under the PNC regime. Indeed, the Budget for the Commission was passed in Parliament, and Williams would be aware of that as a Member of Parliament. The other objection to the Commission’s work from a disgruntled few is that Dr. Rodney was assassinated 34 years ago, and therefore it’s now old news and Guyanese would not be interested in a Commission probe. However, not only is the Commission a culmination of decades of local and international calls, attempts and efforts to convene it, but the relevancy to Guyana’s current socio-political state, and the country’s advance as a Caribbean nation is clear to President Ramotar, the family of Dr. Rodney, and intellectuals and concerned persons around the world. In fact, the WPA participates fully in the probe, and the Commission’s findings would provide an official closure to the events of June 13, 1980, which forever transformed the Guyanese nation. These sentiments cannot be lost on Williams, but in seeing his role as “defender” of the PNC, he may be limiting the role he could play in the Commission fulfilling its historical function, and in opening a platform for the PNC to inspect its closed political closet and reveal its clandestine operations to the Guyanese people, and engineer a new political dispensation in the nation. Hopefully, by the time the Commission would have wrapped up its work, both the PNC and Williams would see the wisdom of submitting the PNC, that secretive political organ, to the public scrutiny that would cleanse its own soul, open its closed door for social justice to address its wanton abuse of power in its time in government, and provide crucial answers to the Guyanese people about why and how it brought about the socio-economic collapse of the Guyanese State over its 28 years of dictatorial Government that saw not only widespread rigging of national elections, but the assassination and murder of several political leaders and high-level citizens. Indeed, it would behove Williams, in demonstrating a clear and good conscience as a modern political leader, Member of Parliament and Attorney, to act as a catalyst for the PNC to exercise its prerogative in offering to the Guyanese nation the “blanket apology” that its leader, Brigadier Granger, refuses to offer Guyanese.

East Bank Berbice residents assured of new road By Michael Khan DESPITE the many criticisms from residents on the East Bank of Berbice, the Government of Guyana remains committed to rehabilitating and resurfacing the public thoroughfare in that rural district. For more than a decade, the rapidly deteriorating road which runs parallel to the Berbice River has been an eyesore and a heated topic of discussions between residents and public officials, because many East Bank Berbice residents are of the opinion that they are being neglected. On Wednesday, during a public consultation at the Edingburgh Primary School, residents along the East Bank were told by a team from the Ministry of Public Works that there are plans to fix the thoroughfare. However, interim repair works will be done before a massive resurfacing project gets underway in October.

Gov’t has always acted ‘within the law’ – President Donald Ramotar

By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday faced head on what he termed “distortions” over the tabling of a $4.6B financial paper, which restored monies cut from the 2014 Budget, and made it clear that the Government has always acted “within the law” and within the legislative framework, as prescribed by the Constitution. “There is much distortion taking place in the media… all we do is Constitutional and this (the misinformation peddled) is distortion,” he said, during a news conference held at State House. The paper is a first in a series of papers expected to be brought before Parliament in a move to restore import-

ant funds cut from the $220B budget for 2014. Included in the $4.6B was the full return of $6.1B to the Office of the President. The allocation, for current expenditures,

According to him, if this fact is doubted by the political Opposition, they should move to the courts, where a determination on constitutionality will be made. He said: “With the return of the financial papers to the National Assembly, there is a lot of talk of the unconstitutionality of it and while I am always reluctant to put motives to some of these attacks and criticism, I am tempted to question why this issue has arisen; largely because in 2012 and in 2013 we did exactly the same thing and the Opposition voted for many of them (the financial papers). “It is totally within the Constitution.

Mr. Ramotar said: “Why are they plugging this line of it being unconstitutional, when they themselves participated in the same process in 2012 and 2013? They did not see it as unconstitutional then. Why are they branding it unconstitutional now? “The monies we are putting back into the system are the Amerindian Development Fund…the University of Guyana student loan…. all justified…(with) all this noise they are making, there seems to be some sinister purpose behind it. “These things, they (the combined Opposition) participated in the same process in 2012 and 2013 and this is all that we are doing again.

NIS updating contributors records electronically

MANAGEMENT of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) has confirmed to Cabinet that virtually all of the 15 million outstanding contribution records have been updated and uploaded electronically on the NIS Database System. Cabinet had issued a December 31, 2014 deadline to NIS to have this project completed, and according to Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon, by the end of June all of the contributions/ records would be electronically entered on the NIS database. July to December will be the period for NIS to concentrate on the verification of the data.

Cabinet agrees on components of USAID LEAD project

CABINET has approved the design and activities of two components of the $300M United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) project that had been halted to facilitate talks between the Government of Guyana and the US Embassy in Georgetown. Furthermore, Cabinet has also approved tools and governance mechanisms that would be associated with the implementation of the two components, one of which deals with matters surrounding the strengthening of the National Assembly, and the other with civic education and support for Local Government Elections. Last June 18, the US authorities were officially notified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cabinet’s decisions made last June 10 about the proposed Government of Guyana/USAID Project. There remain several components in excess of two, and so the engagement between the Government and the US authorities will continue.

Access road to Sophia finally completed

THE Ministry of Public Works, Force Account Department officially concluded its refurbishments to the road leading to Sophia last week, which was a part of the UG access road overhaul project. The Works Ministry found it necessary to give the road a facelift, given that it was in a deplorable state with enormous potholes that caused damage to vehicles. The road is now fully refurbished and allows a faster entry and exit to the surrounding communities. Meanwhile, in regard to the access road that leads to the University of Guyana and the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), the levelling work has been done and the final course is to be completed as soon as the aggregate (stone materials used in building roads) becomes available.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE June 29, 2014

RAMADAN GREETINGS FROM THE INTERRELIGIOUS ORGANISATION(IRO) OF GUYANA FOR Guyanese Muslims, Ramadan is a welcomed month, in which thirty days is spent in fasting from early morn to the setting of the sun. The nights are spent in prayers in congregation in the Mosques throughout Guyana. The breaking of the fast at sunset is a communal affair, and brothers and sisters of all races, culture and creed gather to share in the evening meal. The Month of Ramadan is known as the Month of the Holy Quran, when God

Almighty revealed the text upon His Beloved Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings unto Him. The Holy Quran encompasses the laws and rules that governs the lives of Muslims. Moreover, Ramadan is a month in which Muslims use to elevate themselves, in the practice of patience, piety, discipline and charity. It is intended that these virtues obtained, will be practiced and observed for the other months of the year. Ramadan is a month in which Muslims take stock

of their earnings and assets, and subscribe to the payment of their dues as Zaakat. This is distributed to the poor and needy of the society not only to improve the quality of their lives, but to have the effect of giving assistance that can later contribute to self-sustainability. The Month of Ramadan ends with the sighting of the new moon, and a day of Eid celebration for one’s dedication to the will of God, submission and elevation of a spiritual nature of the soul.

RAMADAN MESSAGE FROM THE ANNA CATHERINA ISLAMIC COMPLEX THE Muslim community in Guyana joins Muslims around the world in beginning the monthlong fast and other acts of devotion of Ramadan. This is the month on the lunar Islamic calendar, which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from the break of dawn to sunset. The fast is performed for no other reason than to learn discipline, selfrestraint and generosity, while obeying God’s commandments. As God Almighty has granted us His Divine Mercy in sparing our lives to see yet another Ramadan, let us not waste the golden opportunity and use this month to the fullest, in order to achieve maximum benefits. We must observe the fast and other religious activities in this month, with utmost sincerity so that we can achieve success in this life and the hereafter. Islam is one of the world’s most prominent religions and a source of profound strength and guidance for over a billion Muslims worldwide. Muslims look forward to Ramadan as a period of spiritual reflection and renewal. It is also a time when people of other faiths can learn more about Islam, the great benefits that it offers to mankind and the enormous contributions made by Muslims to human civilisation. It firmly upholds the principle of respect for all human beings and all religions. Sadly, in many countries, Muslims and other believers are unable to perform their religious beliefs. We pray for the day when the people of all faiths can express their beliefs without fear of per-

secution or discrimination. Ramadan, each year, brings a promise of renewal and hope for the world. This year, that promise is so important to our nation and the world, and as we greet the new moon for Ramadan, we pray that we will usher in a new era of tolerance, respect and cooperation. As we focus this year on self-restraint, prayers and acts of charity to achieve self-reform, these acts must be taken to the wider community. We cannot totally reform ourselves without reforming the communities we live in. This is the month where we must dispense with all anger, arrogance and hatred, while at the same time cultivating love,

friendship, humility, patience and tolerance. This will give us ever-lasting peace, but, peace must never be held ransom to justice nor justice held ransom to peace. The Anna Catherina Islamic Complex urges our Muslims to use this month to build bridges and not walls, so that with unity of purpose, we can cause growth and development of Islam and our country. We call on our political leaders of this country to let the ideals of Ramadan fill your hearts so that we can return our country to one free from fear, corruption, immorality and crime. May this Holy Month of Ramadan be rewarding to our entire nation.

RAMADHAN MESSAGE FROM THE IAC ON the beginning of the month of Ramadhan, the Indian Arrival Committee of Guyana (IAC) extends Ramadhan Mubarak to all Guyanese especially the Muslim Community. The IAC urged that the true observances of the month of Ramadhan reflect the manner that the month of Ramadhan brings with it: a month that teaches selfdiscipline, seek restraint and that being generous to the less fortunate while obeying God’s Commandments. This is a month that offers great spiritual virtues and blessings and teaches respect for all of God’s creation and religions. The IAC calls on all our political leaders to use the ideals and lessons of this month to build bridges and not walls, that our country would be one free of fear and instability.

Once again Ramadhan Kareem to all Muslim brothers and sisters from

the IAC; promoting our festivals, arts, cultures and religion!

RAMADAN KAREEM MESSAGE FROM THE GUSIA THE Executive of the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman (GUSIA) and the Board of the Shaheed Boys & Girls Orphanages takes the opportunity to extend to our Muslim Community warm greetings for the month of Ramadan-ul-Kareem. This month, which is a special gift to the Muslim nation, came as a result of Allah’s great love for the Prophet of Islam and is an opportunity for Muslims to harness the great benefits that this month contains. The observance of this month will fill the Muslim’s heart with peace, love and tranquility and inculcates qualities that are associated with great character. Generations of nations are blessed by this month and its great boons. This is a month where we are forcibly brought to be a part of the plight of our poor Muslim brothers and sisters in the compulsory act of giving charity. This is not to make us poorer (by giving a part of our wealth away) but is in fact to make us much richer in this life and the hereafter.

In this age of political instability, ethnic and racial violence, greed, materialism and uncertainties, this month is a welcome gift to the world. We need to extract the ingredients of nation building, religious and spiritual codes and appropriate moral, social and economic disciplines to establish strong progressive nations populated with citizens who are cognisant of their duty first to God, the Creator and to fellow occupants of this earth. We join with Muslims throughout the world in the observance of this great month and to ask that we do not forget the great rewards in helping our orphans. The Shaheed Boys and Girls Orphanages have stood as the beacon of providing for the orphans in our community and as the only bone fide institution for the care of orphans in the Muslim community. We encourage you to support it with your charity. We attach our financial statement for the last year.

The graduating class

Culture and sports activities are important for a balanced education

–Minister Anthony EDUCATION is a journey that may take a number of years however that journey is not complete without two important components – sports and cultural activities/experiences. This concept was emphasised by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony at a graduation ceremony hosted by the Valmiki Vidyalaya in Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.

good, students need to work harder because there will be more intense competitions among the students. He added that other schools other than the senior schools produce top performers at the CSEC level. Minister Anthony was referring to Anna Regina secondary school in Region 2 which has produced top students in Guyana and the Caribbean for two consecutive years.

Minister Anthony presents a trophy to the best graduating student, Amit Dass While interacting with the gathering, Minister Anthony recalled attending another graduation ceremony at the school which was held in the yard as such the day’s event is an indication of the growth of a small idea into one of the top primary schools on the East Coast of Demerara. The graduating class started with 21 students however 1 student migrated. The Minister recognised that for a small class they have all achieved places at the top secondary school in the city and on the East Coast. According to reports, 40 percent of the students attained senior secondary schools while the other 60 percent obtained schools with a five or six year CSEC programme. It is important to note that even though securing a senior secondary school is

Minister Anthony emphasised that the students are now taking a step into higher education. It is therefore important that at this stage that they assess their weakness and improve those so as to ascertain future success. In this regard, the Minister noted that he would like to see all the students completing secondary school and moving on to University. The Minister also called on the students to use the knowledge they have gained, and will gain, to aid in the betterment of their community and to help humanity. Minister Anthony commended the administrators of the school for promoting their culture, this is in recognition of the fact that in some schools this important component – cultural awareness – is neglected. While a lot of emphasis is on numeracy and literacy, more

focus should be on cultural literacy in the education system; so as to ensure that Guyana’s cultural heritage is not lost. Class teacher, Hemanchal Singh, in his remarks emphasised that he was pleased to have worked with the students in Grades 5 and 6 regardless of the challenges faced. While sharing his experiences with the students, he indicated that he was not surprised with the results. Singh emphasised the importance for teachers to be aware of their students’ performance in the Grades 2 and 4 exams since this gives an idea of their strengths and weaknesses. He also encouraged the teachers to complete the syllabus for each class since this has an impact on the results for the Grade 6 exams. Mr. Singh commended the teachers for their support and dedication towards their children’s education. While congratulating the 2014 students, Pandit Haresh Tewari called on the Grade 5 students to use the graduating class as an example of what is expected of them. He stressed that there are two things needed for success and those are hard work and prayers. He emphasised that the school seeks to provide education alongside good values. Best graduating student was Amit Dass who shared his experiences of being in the school for eight years. He expressed appreciation to his parents, teachers and fellow students for their support. Special awards were given to Madhav Tewari who sat the National Grade Six Assessment one year before his time; he was ranked among the top 100 students in Guyana. Kampta Persaud and Alicia Harriram were recognised for their all-round performance; Savitri Narine for her display of honesty and excellence and Roberto Thomas for his excellence in sports.

Meeting with APNU on non-assented Bills was an ‘emasculated’ process – AG Nandlall

By Vanessa Narine ATTORNEY-GENERAL (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, met on June 11 with A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) Basil Williams on the issue of the Bills passed by the National Assembly, but not assented to, following an instruction by President Donald Ramotar. And in an interview with the Guyana Chronicle he noted that much progress was not made during the meeting, the second of its kind, as it was an “emasculated” process. “The meeting was held with a view of identifying the areas of contentions and take them back to our respective principals (leadership) who will explore the possibility of a resolution of those areas of contentions with the ultimate objective of having those Bills re-tabled in the National Assembly and passed with the Government’s support and eventually receiving Presidential assent,” Nandlall said. Also, the meeting was another measure advanced by the Government intended to attract the support of the APNU for a compliant Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) (Amendment) Bill. Nandlall said: “At the meeting of Wednesday, 11th of June, 2014, Mr. Williams AG ANIL NANDLALL informed me that he raised the matter with his principals (APNU leadership) and he was instructed that we were only to review the procedure in respect of how the Bills were to be returned to the National Assembly and whether and if the objectives of those Bills can be achieved by a process other than re-tabling the Bills in the National Assembly, for example, the promulgation of Regulations. “He was emphatic that he had no mandate to discuss the content of any of the Bills in any manner whatsoever. Reluctantly, I agreed to this emasculated process and the same was concluded at that very meeting.” FIRST MEETING UNSUCCESSFUL According to the AG, the first meeting on June 9 did not meet much success either as Mr. Williams indicated that his instructions were simply “to meet with me to discuss the non-assented Bills.” He said: “I presented to Mr. Williams a collection of all the Bills which would be the subject of our engagement and I explained to him what I understood from my principals, to be the nature, extent, scope and purpose of the said engagement. “Mr. Williams informed me that he is not in receipt of similar instructions from his principals….immediately, I formed the view that this engagement would be futile unless and until we were both at ad-idem in respect of nature, extent, scope and purpose of the said engagement.” Nandlall added that under these circumstances the first meeting was adjourned to June 11 which was the second meeting. “In the circumstances (at the June 9 meeting), I suggested to Mr. Williams that a prudent course to adopt, at this stage, was for us to adjourn the meeting to permit him to receive full and proper instructions on the nature, extent, scope and purpose of the said engagement. He agreed and the meeting was adjourned for Wednesday the 11th of June, 2014,” the AG explained. Nandlall reiterated that the purpose of the meeting was to jointly review the non-assented Bills, which were tabled and passed by the Opposition in the National Assembly, with a view of identifying the areas of contentions. “The idea was to take them back to our respective principals who will explore the possibility of a resolution of those areas of contentions with the ultimate objective of having those Bills re-tabled in the National Assembly and passed with the Government’s support and eventually receiving Presidential assent,” he said. IN VAIN Additionally, the AG referenced the fact that meeting was

rendered “illusory, or at least, irrelevant” given two other major developments, regarding APNU’s positions on their conditional support for the AML/CFT Bill. He stated that these events were: * APNU’s refusal to meet at the Select Committee despite several attempts by the Chairperson of the Select Committee; even though the Chairperson indicated an intention to narrow the gap between the Government’s position and the APNU proposals in respect AMLCFT Bill; and * The refusal by the Leader of the Opposition to accept the President’s proposals to enact a Bill which contains all the APNU’s amendment, though, it exposes the Bill to the peril of subsequently being declared to be CFATF non-compliant.

The Bill, to meet the requirements the FATF-Style Regional Bodies (FSRB), the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), was tabled in the National Assembly in April 2013, but referred to a Parliamentary Special Select Committee and eventually voted down by the combined Opposition in November 2013. The Bill was re-tabled in December 2013, and again referred to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee, chaired by Ms. Gail Teixeira, where it has been since. Government had repeated its willingness to have the Bill passed, and has demonstrated its commitment to same, but up to the last meeting of the Select Committee, remained locked in political gridlock with the combined Parliamentary Opposition.

26 participating in GPF/UG Middle Manager course

BY Leroy Smith

THE opening ceremony of the 25th Junior Officers Course organised by the Guyana Police Force on Friday saw participation from 26 men and women, representing the armed forces of Guyana. Organised at the Police Training College at Eve Leary in Georgetown, the course brought together members of the Guyana Police and Defence forces, the Fire Service, City Constabulary and the Prison Service. Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee delivered the feature address at the ceremony. Rohee commended the initiative, pointing directly to the inclusion of personnel from other agencies which make up the armed forces, pointing out that the move helps each agency to better understand and appreciate the roles of the others, which makes it easier to offer support when the need arises, and assist in determination of where assistance should, or could be channelled. Rohee made specific mention of the presence of Cadet Officers as part of the course. There are eleven cadet officers taking the course; and Rohee said the Ministry of Home Affairs would continue to support any form of training and developmental initiative of the Guyana Police Force, since it lends to the sustainability of the organisation. Police Commissioner, Seelall Persaud said that the training course is very necessary, since it addresses the Force’s very critical need for middle managers who are tasked with being that bridge between the very senior officers and the junior ranks. He called on the Force’s Training Officer to work expeditiously to have the training course accredited by the University of Guyana; and added that it signalled the continued partnership between the Guyana Police Force and the University of Guyana. The Top Cop placed police on notice that the need for training is always important, since ranks need to be educated about the new trends and methods of crime which are being employed by criminal minds, and they need to be “up to speed” with that development. For lawmen and women to be equipped with the understanding and tools to track and be able to know what are the methods used and abused by felons, they must have their ears on the ground, and be familiar with changes, Mr. Persaud added. He pointed to numerous developments taking place within the Guyana Police Force as part of its modernisation, and mentioned the direct results of the Crime Intelligence System recently employed by the Force. The Police Commissioner, in speaking of the ‘keeping up to speed’ with the changes in technology, declared that, already, the Force is moving away from the practice of keeping hard copies in its communication link to a more rapid and frequent use of email to pass on information and communicate with stakeholders. Mr. Persaud said that several of the officers participating in the training will be heading to various parts of the country, where they would be tasked with overseeing roll-out of the Guyana Police Force Impact projects. Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr. Balram Persaud, told the gathering of senior, junior and trainee ranks that training is always important for any organisation, and he pointed out that it is always fitting to have continuous training in order to be relevant to current situations. Mr. Persaud said the training as part of this course should be taken very seriously since it brings participants to the point of becoming middle managers. He added the

course has always been effective in causing beneficiary ranks to enhance their dealing with younger and more junior ranks of the Force. Mr. Persaud cautioned participants of the course to understand they are part of a programme that would cause junior ranks and other ranks at stations working under them to look to them for guidance and leadership; and he said that retaining and practicing what they have been taught at the level of the course must be passed on as part of knowledge sharing. Giving a brief overview of the course, Force Training Officer, Paul Williams said it has always been a core course for the Guyana Police Force, and many serving and retired senior ranks had the privilege of taking it.

Training will last for twelve weeks, and would be done in two modules facilitated by the University of Guyana and several stakeholders, including past and present senior officers of the Force. The programme is in collaboration with the University of Guyana. Among the issues the course focuses on are effective policing, police/public partnership, human rights and the media, and other issues which affect and influence policing, Williams added. The training course is being held under the theme “Training with the focus of maximising visions, skills and art for enhancing leadership for a modern Guyana Police Force.”

Police Commissioner admonishes ranks to uphold the oath to serve and protect - at Passing Out Parade for several courses By Michel Outridge

TSU ranks in a demonstration at Eve leary at Friday’s Passing Out Parade (Cullen Bess-Nelson photo)

ACTING Police Commissioner, Seelall Persaud has admonished ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to launch their careers by upholding their oath to serve and protect, and not to throw away their careers by misbehaving, since their actions would be scrutinised by the public. Last Friday at the Tactical Services Unit (TSU) Drill Square at Eve Leary, Georgetown, the Top Cop told ranks at the Passing Out Parade for several courses hosted by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) that he recognises the effort and sacrifices they had made to successfully complete the courses, and he welcomed them to the GPF. He said: “You have all passed the enlistment segment and (have been) provided with the requisite training, and you have sacrificed a lot too. For six months at the Felix Austin Police College, you have worked hard; and now (you are) launching your new career. “Don’t throw away (your career) by unruly conduct, but uphold the oath taken; because you will be in the public’s eye and (your) every action will be scrutinised.” Persaud declared how pleased he was to see parents, relatives and friends present at the Passing Out ceremony, and thanked them for providing the support and foundation to the men and women who were successful in the courses they had passed. He urged the ranks to carry out their responsibilities with honour, since it would be reflected in their behaviour and attitude. He told them they now possess the qualities to serve and protect, and they know that there is no virtue in ignorance, but there is great power in knowledge. He said their conduct should be high quality. Persaud admonished the ranks to protect citizens from those who want to do them harm, to be role models for children in the communities they serve, and to protect the homes and businesses of the community, and do so with a smile and a friendly hello. Persaud disclosed that he has very high expectations of the ranks, and that he is confident they would step up to the call of duty, as they have their line of defence -- that is, themselves and the truth. He also encouraged the ranks to do their work in relative calm and composure, even under the most intense pressure; and to act with skill and courage, since law enforcement is a perishable skill which must be shared. The GPF Passing Out Parade for the three Recruit Training Courses, a Probationers Final Training Course and a Conversion Course was punctuated with musical interludes, martial arts display, drill display, parade marches on, reflections, and remarks. The best student for the Conversion Course No. 1/2014 was Special Constable Jordan, and the runner-up was Gonsalves. Both were awarded. Constable Trotman was considered the Best Student in the Recruit Course 28 ‘B’; Best Classroom student was Sullivan; Most Improved Student was Schultz, Best Drill student was Washington, and Best Shot was Trotman. The Recruit Course 315 saw Constable Dougan awarded the Best Student prize; Best Classroom Student was King; Most Improved Student was Shepherd, Best Drill was Primus and Best Shot was also Primus. For the Recruit Course 316, Constable Trotz copped the Best Classroom Student and Best Student prizes, while Weeks got the Most Improved Student and Best Shot prizes. The Best Drill student was Marks. In the probationer’s Final Training Course No. 1/2014, the COP Baton of Honour was presented to Constable Lyken by the Acting Commissioner of Police, while the best Classroom Student prize was given to Constable Carroll. Superintendent K. Simon, Commandant of Felix Austin Police College, and Force Training Officer, Paul Williams also made remarks at the Passing Out Parade. The ceremony started with the Parade Marches On and ended with the Parade Marches Off, after the top performers were presented with their prizes and the course was reviewed by several ranks who had participated in the courses and reflected on the training.

Dynamic, Roraima Airways apologise for delay in flight services between CJIA, JFK By Leroy Smith DYNAMIC and Roraima Airways have issued an apology for the delay and interruption of its flight services between Guyana and John F. Kennedy Airport. A release from local handlers for Dynamic Airways yesterday said: “We have encountered administrative challenges at the JFK International Airport which we are working tirelessly to resume (operations). These challenges are specifically focused on the Ground Handling Services of our aircraft.” “Again, we apologise sincerely and pledge to take care of you during this inconvenience.” “Please be assured that Dynamic Airways remains committed to its Guyana Service.” “We will be leaving as scheduled on Sunday 29th June, 2014. The details of your flight time and ticket details will be emailed to you shortly.” The Guyana Chronicle was told that the airline was expected to arrive in New York early Friday morning, but after leaving the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) in Guyana hours behind schedule, the arrival in New York was inevitably behind schedule. This publication was informed that the entire confusion is being laid at the feet of the ground handling agent at the JFK Airport, who has since been fired by the airline administrators. The issue was compounded when the aircraft could not find a gate to transit after an arrangement brokered with Fly Jamaica fell through. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle on Friday afternoon, local agent for Dynamic Airlines, Captain Jerry Gouveia, said the airline had an arrangement with the management of Fly Jamaica to use its gate at the JFK upon arrival; but without any clear indication to him, the company did not honour that commitment to its competitor. However, it is being reported that Fly Jamaica’s inability to fulfill its promise to Dynamic Airlines could have been largely because of Dynamic’s late arrival at JFK. A source close to the operations of one of the companies said it is possible that the confusion could have stemmed from Dynamic Airline’s absence from the scene at the time when Fly Jamaica was using its gate. Gouveia voiced bitter disappointment that the two airlines have had such a bad start, since from the inception he had been anticipating their cooperating with each other despite being in competition. He could not rationalise Fly Jamaica’s withdrawal from the agreement, and pointed out that the airline might not have even been using the gate at the time that Dynamic arrived at the JFK, because Fly Jamaica passengers had also been stranded for some unknown reason.

He opined that had Dynamic used the gate, the airline would have been able to accommodate the stranded Fly Jamaica passengers. Gouveia said that up to late Friday evening, feverish efforts were underway to have Dynamic’s aircraft find a gate; otherwise, Caribbean Airlines or some other airline would be approached to have the passengers travel back to Guyana. Gouveia said the unfortunate incident does not bring Dynamic Airlines into any state of revenue loss, since the passengers on board were part of the inaugural flight, and they were not paying to be on board the aircraft. The ground handling agent at the JFK International Airport has caused Gouveia much disappointment, since he had written him claiming to be a Guyanese and seeking to be contracted in that position; hence he had been given the chance because the airline had been trying to source the services of a Guyanese as part of its approach to offering Guyanese employment with the airline, be it directly or indirectly. Despite the glitch, Dynamic Airline’s Chief Executive Officer has recommitted to continue the Guyana route. He said the development, although unacceptable, was just one of the teething problems to be catered for, according to Gouveia.

Noise And The Environment NOISE in our society is increasing to levels that can be considered pollution. It is a health hazard that people face every day and is often overlooked, perhaps because loud noise is so commonplace in public transport, hang-out spots and even from traffic.

Any person who intends to engage in activities that would result in the emission of noise is required to apply to the EPA for Authorisation to do so.

But what really is noise pollution?

Loud noise commonly is emitted from construction, industry, and transport. Poor Urban Planning: The close proximity of factories, night clubs, etc. to residences also plays a contributory role in noise pollution. Social Events: Noise is at its height at most social events, whether it is a party, disco, public celebration; people normally flout rules set by the local administration and create noise nuisance when public events are held. As the body with responsibility for environmental management, the Environmental Protection Agency makes provisions for noise management and allows persons who must carry on noise-making activities to apply for an Environmental Authorisation which if granted will be accompanied by measures to control the noise emitted into the environment.

Traditionally it may be defined as unwanted or disturbing sounds. Sounds become unwanted and disturbing when they interfere with normal activities such as sleeping, conversation or disrupt or diminish one’s quality of life. Persistent and escalating sounds can often be considered annoyance; it is this annoyance that can have major consequences, primarily to one’s health. If you live next door to a noisy neighbour then you may be able to relate, but a person who suffers from lack of sleep soon experiences symptoms of fatigue, elevated stress levels, and in some instances may be very irritable, thus affecting the way they interact with others. There are various sources of noise pollution Industrialisation: Big machines used in manufacturing often times produce loud noise, for example, compressors and heavy machinery used in the construction of new buildings.

Domestic Appliances: Even in our homes, as we move towards modernisation we employ the use of timesaving devices such as vacuums and pressure cookers which may not bother us, but may affect a sleeping neighbour or cause dogs to behave erratically due to the persistent noises.

Key points to remember If you are involved in or plan to be involved in construction you should note that activities are restricted between the hours of 11:00pm and 6:00 am Monday-



Saturday and before 6:00 am and after 6:00 pm on Sundays.  You are not allowed to operate loud speakers and sound making devices in a park unless in possession of a Noise Permit.  Any person wishing to operate a soundmaking device between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on any day of the week, should make a written application to the EPA ten (10) days before the date they propose to operate the device. Owners of night clubs or pubs are advised to sufficiently soundproof all areas where loud sounds will be emitted to prevent sound or noise from emitting within a distance of fifty feet from the premises causing a noise disturbance to others.  Owners of motor vehicles should ensure that the sounds emanating from their vehicles are not plainly audible at a distance of fifty feet away from the motor vehicle emitting the sound. Don’t be part of the problem, become part of the solution!

Guyana beat USA Serena fizzles out, Nadal South 30 – 27 to and Federer march on win NACRA 15’s Championship Wimbledon Tennis …

By Martyn Herman

(REUTERS) - A gaping hole appeared in the women’s draw at Wimbledon after Alize Cornet toppled top seed Serena Williams yesterday but Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer stayed on course for a semi-final showdown after convincing wins. On a day of dark clouds and rain delays at the All England Club, Williams’s hopes of a sixth singles title fizzled out as she sank to a 1-6 6-3 6-4 defeat against the 25th seed who celebrated her shock win by kissing the Court One turf. World number one Williams, 32, had not fallen before the fourth round at Wimbledon since 2005 and, after returning from a four-hour rain delay, she was charging towards the second week before her power game malfunctioned. Williams appeared hesitant as Cornet battled back with some aggressive tennis and despite showing true champions spirit to claw back two games late on there was no escape for the 17-times grand slam champion. The result ended hopes of an eagerly anticipated last 16 match-up between Williams and fast-rising Canadian Eug-

GUYANA’s 15’s Rugby Team captain Ryan Gonsalves was hailed a hero after his penalty kick that scored in sudden death saw Guyana defeating defending champions USA South to win the North American and Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) 30 – 27 yesterday in Atlanta Georgia. Reports reaching Chronicle Sport stated that the Guyanese, known as the ‘Green Machine’ had to play from behind, after trailing 24 – 8 at half time. Rugby fans who turned up at the Life University Rugby Complex in Marietta, Atlanta, Georgia saw Guyana winning on sudden death to hoist their first ever NACRA 15’s Rugby title in dramatic fashion. According to information received, Gonsalves converted a penalty after a Claudius Butts try just at half time but the Guyanese ‘ruggers’ still trailed their USA counterparts considerably. An early second half try by Vallon Adams which saw the captain Gonsalves making good of the conversion sparked a Guyanese come back and the score board read 24 – 15, still in favour of USA South. As the game progressed, Butts and Adams would carry out relentless attacks on USA South’s defence but as the game progressed Gonsalves missed what would’ve been a potential game winning conversation, and time ran out as full time, the scores were deadlocked on 27points. The two teams then went into the two halves of 10 minutes extra time and still a winner could not have been decided sending the game into a ‘score first and win’ situation. USA South gave up a penalty to Guyana and Gonsalves one of the most experienced player on the team, stepped up and nailed the kick and the rest was literally history. It was a well deserved win for the team who almost didn’t make it to the championship due to lack of funding, but thanks to NACRA who paid the team’s airfare to Atlanta, the Green Machine was able to reach to Atlanta.

Spencer races to WL, VCB cops sprint title

KINGSTON, Jamaica, (CMC) – Kaliese Spencer ran a world-leading time to win the women’s 400 metres hurdles while former World champion Veronica Campbell-Brown snatched the women’s sprint title, on the second night of the Jamaica National Championships here Friday. The 27-year-old Spencer, a former World junior champion, raced to a fast 53.41 seconds to win her event, finishing comfortably ahead of another former World Junior champion Janieve Russell, who clocked a personal best 54.75 to be second. Nikita Tracey was third in 55.16, also a personal best. “I am very happy because this is the fastest I ever ran in Jamaica,” said Spencer. Spencer has been dominant this year on the international circuit, posting the two previous fastest times in the event this year, with 53.97 in Rome earlier this month and 54.29 in Eugene last month. Just over two weeks ago, she won at the Oslo Diamond League meet, the Bislett Games, and was victorious at the Golden Gala in Rome a few days earlier. Campbell-Brown, meanwhile, clocked 10.96 seconds to win the 100 metres, taking the tape ahead of Kerron Stewart in 11.02 seconds and Schillonie Calvert, in 11.16 seconds. The victory for Campbell-Brown marked a major turnaround for the former 200m Olympic gold medallist who was only this year cleared of doping charges by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

West Indies, Pakistan awarded seats on ICC’s executive … South Africa snubbed from game’s new world order

MELBOURNE, (Reuters) - West Indies cricket Board president Dave Cameron and Pakistan board chairman Najam Sethi have been awarded seats on the International Cricket Council’s new executive committee, but South Africa has been snubbed from the game’s new world order. The five-member executive committee is one of a raft of sweeping reforms that have entrenched cricket’s dominant economic powers India, England and Australia and, according to critics, at the expense of weaker ICC members and second tier Associate nations. India, England and Australia keep permanent seats on the executive, which has drawn comparisons with the United Nations Security Council, with two of the seats elected on an annual basis by the ICC board. The executive will be chaired by Cricket Australia chairman Wally Edwards and includes India board chief and newly coronated ICC chairman N. Srinivasan, and Giles Clarke, chairman of the England and Wales board. ICC chief executive David Richardson, who received a two-year contract extension, will sit as an ex-officio member, the ICC said in a statement released yesterday. Cricket’s world governing body also ratified the membership of a number of other committees at its annual conference in Melbourne, with Cricket South Africa the only full ICC member not represented on any of them. Clarke will chair the Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee, with Edwards, Srinivasan, Bangladesh Cricket Board

president Nazmul Hassan and Sri Lanka Cricket president Jayantha Dharmadasa (Sri Lanka). Richardson is also on the finance committee as an ex-officio member, the ICC said. New Zealand Cricket director Martin Snedden will chair the Governance Review Committee, with the ICC Development Committee, a body whose charter is to “grow cricket beyond its traditional boundaries”, to be chaired by Srinivasan. Among a raft of other statements, the ICC confirmed that Netherlands and Nepal, who qualified for the ICC World Twenty20 tournament held in Bangladesh earlier this year, had West Indies Cricket been granted T20 international Board president Dave status. “This means there are now Cameron. eight associate sides with T20I status,” the ICC said. Srinivasan, a 69-year-old industrialist long described as the most powerful man in cricket, was confirmed as ICC

Axed Pietersen sinks boot into struggling England

… puts additional pressure on captain Alastair Cook (REUTERS) - Sacked batsman Kevin Pietersen has put the blow-torch on Alastair Cook’s England, saying the team’s series defeat to Sri Lanka showed senior players were still shell-shocked from the 5-0 Ashes whitewash. Pietersen also heaped additional pressure on out-of-form skipper Cook, claiming his lack of runs was playing on his mind and making him appear a “rabbit in the headlights”. “England were in winning positions in both matches but blew it, and I believe that is a symptom of the senior players being very unsettled,” Pietersen, controversially dumped from the team in the wake of the Ashes debacle, wrote in his column in British newspaper, the Telegraph. “They are not turning up for the captain or coach. (Stuart) Broad and (James) Anderson looked jaded at Headingley,” added the South Africa-born batsman of the performance of England’s fast bowling duet in the second test loss in Leeds. “Why? Why was Jimmy so emotional? We have lost a lot of matches in the past but he has never shown such emotion. “It says to me there is an underlying current of unhappiness. The Australia tour was hard. We were beaten up due to a lot of reasons I cannot go into right now, and some of the senior players are still suffering, with the result that they are struggling to offer leadership in the dressing room.” Pietersen said “fear of failure” appeared to be influencing England and Cook’s tactics on field, as shown by the team’s late declaration in the first Test draw in Lord’s and the choice to bowl first at Headingley after winning the toss.

“You can only kid the public for so long,” he said. “If you tell them this is a brave new dawn, that the team will play an aggressive brand of cricket and try to be positive, but then play the same old negative stuff, the supporters will soon turn away from the team in droves.” Opening batsman Cook had been a “brilliant” player for England, but had few people in the dressing room to turn to help pull the team out of its funk, Pietersen added. “I saw in Cook at Headingley the same look (former captain) Andrew Strauss had when he played his last test at Lord’s,” he said. “He was a rabbit in the headlights. It was a shame to see Cooky looking that way.” The 34-year-old’s dissection comes a day after former Australia spinner Shane Warne, a vocal critic of Cook’s captaincy and a former team mate of Pietersen at Hampshire, urged the 29-year-old to either step down or take a break from the game in the same newspaper. Cook has shown himself vulnerable to the criticism, saying he felt it was personal and that “something needs to be done” about it. Pietersen reserved some praise for England’s promising young brigade, with Gary Ballance, Sam Robson, Joe Root and Moeen Ali all scoring centuries in the series. “A winning dressing room is a happy dressing room,” he said. “If they are given the opportunity the young players will learn to win and the corner will be turned.”

chairman on Thursday during the governing body’s annual meeting in Melbourne. Srinivasan was ordered to step aside from his role as BCCI chief in March to ensure a fair investigation into an illegal betting scandal during last year’s Indian Premier League involving his son-in-law. The Chennai-native was also accused of having a conflict of interest due to his India Cements company owning a franchise in the lucrative Twenty20 league.

CBC team just lacking size, but I like our chances – Rawle Marshall By Rawle Toney CAPTAIN of Guyana’s CBC team Rawle Marshall seems highly optimistic about being successful at the tournament which bounces off on Tuesday July 1 in Tortola, as the Guyanese team departs today. “Our team is just lacking size, but I like our chances,” Marshall told Chronicle on Friday evening after the team’s final practice session at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. While admitting that size will be a factor, Marshall sated “how much of a factor it would be depends on what we come up against but guys will have to make the adjustment, guys will have to step up to help protect the basket. I know I will have to get in there and try to use my height, get rebounds, block shots and play all-round basketball to help this team win. We will take that one game at a time.” Marshall is the highest profile Guyanese player on the team and expectations are high as it relates to him leading the team at the tournament; and the 32 year-old has willingly accepted the challenge but said it would take a collective effort to hoist the trophy. “As you know, I’ve played in the NBA and many years in

Europe but playing at the CBC tournament will be no different. It’s the same challenge just that in Europe, it’s a bit faster, more talent and guys are more physical but I would want to put the CBC tournament right up there and play just as hard as I did in the NBA and as I do in Europe,” Marshall said. Asked about the composition of the team, Marshall said “it is what it is and we’ll have to go there and play with what we have. We have guys who are all hungry; guys who are all happy to go represent Guyana, and we’ll have to build on that and give this our best. I’ve had a lot of basketball challenges in my life and I was able to find ways to overcome them and this is no different.” “I keep telling the guys we will have to play together; that’s the only way we could get the job done at the tournament. I’m not worried about myself because I know that when need I can and will step up, but it’s not about me. I’ve learnt

in basketball, individual skills can’t really make a team win and it would take us playing together,” Marshall noted. The preparation of the team, according to the captain could’ve been a bit better as he orated, “I wanted to see a couple of things happen but it didn’t, but what I want to stress on is the fact that we’ll need to get each other’s back on the court. Guys like ‘Suga’ (Dwayne Roberts), Ifill (Andrew), Klaiber (Gordon), Kanhai (Akeem), Andre (DeFlorimonte) – they will have to step up but I think we’re ready”. “This is what it all comes down to. All the training, guys learning the plays, guys had been working hard, just for this. It’s the reason why I’m here and why I’m excited. I’m so excited about going out there and represent Guyana because it’s something that I wanted to do for a long time and I’m sure these guys feel the same way like me,” the former NBA player said.

Brilliant Rodriguez leads Colombia into last eight By Mike Collett

with his fifth goal in four games. While his first was down to individual brilliance, his second rounded off a beautifully-worked team effort. Without Suarez, banned by FIFA for biting, Uruguay had no way back.

RIO DE JANEIRO ,(Reuters) - James Rodriguez scored a contender for goal of the tournament and put the finishing touch to a sweet, flowing attacking raid as Colombia beat a toothless Uruguay 2-0 to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time yesterday. Colombia will now play hosts Brazil in the last eight in Fortaleza on July 4 and on the comparative display of the two sides yesterday when Brazil squeezed past Chile on penalties in their last-16 match, Colombia should fancy their chances. Uruguay’s goalkeeper Fernando Muslera (2nd L) fails While banned Uruguay to save a goal scored by Colombia’s James Rodriguez striker Luis Suarez might (R), his second goal, during their 2014 World Cup have been the talk of the round of 16 game at the Maracana stadium in Rio de match beforehand, 22-yearJaneiro, yesterday. REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes old Rodriguez was the name on everyone’s lips at the Maracana at the end after “It is obvious that Luis is our main reference, the main scoring a truly stunning opening goal after 28 minutes and becoming the tournament’s top scorer after 50 minutes player we have and that was felt. But that is not the reason

When you give everything, your soul, your heart and you give yourself for the shirt … people are thankful and Uruguayans are always going to be thankful.” WORLD CUP FOLKLORE The opener came when Uruguay only half-cleared the ball as far as Carlos Sanchez, lurking alone in midfield. He instinctively headed it back in Rodriguez’s direction and the next few seconds entered World Cup folklore. Cushioning the ball on his chest with his back to the goal the striker, who cost AS Monaco 45 million euros (35.96 million pounds)when signed him from Porto last year, swivelled and shot with his left foot in one movement, powering the ball in off the bar from 20 meters. Although the ball brushed Uruguayan keeper Fernando Muslera’s fingertips on its way in, he had no chance of saving it. It was a goal that was completely out of keeping with the opening phase of the game which saw both teams hesitantly stutter around without either creating any meaningful attacks. Five minutes after halftime a cross from Pablo Armero was headed back across goal at the far post by Juan Cuadrado for Rodriguez to tap in the goal which effectively sealed the win. “Uruguay is a very difficult team with a great coach. We knew it would be difficult but all our work has paid off,” Colombia coach Jose Pekerman said.

Cesar the hero as nervous Brazil sink Chile on penalties By Karolos Grohmann

nation watched with bated breath as Brazil were on the brink of elimination after Willian and Hulk had failed to convert their spot-kicks. Fortunately for Brazil, Cesar also saved penalties from BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar kept the hosts’ hopes of World Cup glory alive Mauricio Pinilla and Alexis before Jara’s doomed attempt. “It was complicated,” Cesar said. “The pressure of representyesterday, saving two spot-kicks in a shootout against Chile to send them into the last eight 3-2 on penalties following a ing Brazil and playing at home is really great.

My big Four years to the day since Brazil eliminated Chile at the same stage of the 2010 tournament, they did it again when dream is that Brazil have a party,” said the keeper after Gonzalo Jara crashed his spot-kick against the post after Cesar helping avoid Brazil’s first home defeat in a competitive game since 1975. had twice denied the battling Chileans. For Chile it was a bitter end to a promising World Cup after Man-of-the-match Cesar, heavily criticised four years ago after Brazil’s World Cup exit to the Netherlands, also beating holders Spain in the group stage to cement their status made an outstanding save in the second half of normal time as tournament dark horses. They failed, however, to exorcise their Brazilian demons as the five-times champions moved unconvincingly into a once again and fell to them at the same stage as in 1998 and quarter-final against Uruguay or Colombia. David Luiz had put Brazil ahead after 18 minutes but Alexis 2010, the last two times they were in the tournament. They have never managed to beat Brazil at home and have Sanchez equalised for battling Chile before halftime and the host won just seven of 69 games against them. The Brazilians, who have now eliminated their fellow South Americans in four World Cups including in the 1962 semi-finals in Chile, set a blistering pace and Marcelo took a first crack at goal with a volley that sailed wide. Chile quickly lost the battle in midfield but their defence kept tournament joint top scorer Neymar in check. They were helpless, though, when Neymar whipped in a corner in the 18th minute, Thiago Silva headed it on and Luiz, with what looked like some help from Chile’s Jara, bundled it in for his first international goal in his 40th appearance.

sea of yellow shirts, five-times champions Brazil kept pouring forward and Neymar should have done better when he raced clear, only to drive a low shot wide. Chile, however, levelled 14 minutes later after making the most of a throw-in mix-up between Hulk and Marcelo to send Alexis into the box and the forward drilled the ball in to stun the crowd into temporary silence. Neymar went agonisingly close with a header that scraped past the post and controlled a superb deep cross-field ball to set up Fred who fired over. Dani Alves tested Claudio Bravo with a thundering longrange effort but the Chile keeper did well to tip it over the bar. Brazil, who had won nine of their previous 10 games against Chile, thought they had scored again early in the second half when Hulk controlled a deep cross and scuffed the ball in but referee Howard Webb booked the forward for handball. With the clock ticking and Brazil getting more nervous, the Chileans felt confident they could pull off a huge upset, similar to Brazil’s shock defeat in the 1950 World Cup final against Uruguay, known as ‘Maracanazo’. Cesar pulled off a sensational save to deny Charles Aranguiz from point-blank range in a scintillating game in front of 58,000 spectators in which one wrong pass would potentially prove costly. Chile, running on empty in extra time, almost snatched a dramatic last-minute winner when Pinilla rattled the crossbar with a tremendous shot but Brazil survived the scare with their fans looking to the skies and praying before the penalties started.. “That near goal right at the end has been really hard for us,” Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli told reporters. “If we had scored, we would have made history for ever. It would have been the ‘Mineirazo’. We so nearly won,” he said. Luiz, Marcelo and Neymar converted their penalties and although Willian missed the target and Hulk’s effort was saved, Cesar denied Pinilla and Alexis and when Jara sent his effort against the inside of the post the stadium erupted in celebration. “It’s at time like this you get your support from friends and team mates and thanks to Julio who made great saves,” Hulk said. “God willing we will go to the end and make the final. We suffered but we made it. We knew this would be a very hard game, it went to extra time but even with cramps we ran till the end.”

Brathwaite says confidence sky high BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Opener Kraigg Brathwaite said he was now playing with a renewed confidence owing to his maiden Test century last week. On Friday, he top scored with an attractive 68 to follow up that 129 in Port of Spain, as West Indies reached 169 for two before rain ended the second day’s play at 1:03 pm, in the decisive third Test against New Zealand. H e f a c e d 11 6 balls in just under 2-1/2 hours at the crease and counted ten fours, but fell ten minutes before lunch when he drove seamer Neil Wagner loosely to cover. “Obviously batting with Chris (Gayle), he KRAIGG BRATHWAITE was going after the bowling quite early, I decided just to stick with him and rotate the strike as good as possible,” Brathwaite said. “Early on I started quite slowly but at the end I got a couple of boundaries and it worked out. I got to fifty quite quickly and it put the team in a good position so I

am quite happy. I would have liked to go on but that’s all part of the game.” Known for his unflappable temperament and quiet accumulation of runs, Brathwaite was unusually aggressive, and seemed intent on capitalising on scoring opportunities. He reached his fifty with the second of two fours off left-arm seamer Trent Boult’s ninth over, and then punched off-spinner Mark Craig crisply through cover for four before pulling him behind square for another. “The ball was not swinging as much and the pitch was a good-paced pitch so you just backed yourself to go straight. With the ball not swinging, it was ok to hit the ball square once you covered it,” Brathwaite explained. “I’ve worked on this shot because obviously as an opener you will get a lot of cuts. The hundred [in the last Test] gave me a lot of confidence and I am looking to move forward and give 110 per cent every time.” However, he was forced to play second fiddle to partner Gayle early in the day as the experienced left-hander dominated a stand of 79. Gayle cracked 42 from just 53 deliveries, with six fours and a six. “Obviously it’s an honour for me [to bat with Gayle] because as a little man I watched Gayle play. He’s aggressive so he may ease some of the pressure off me but you still have to work hard because the bowlers will still come at him hard and then come at you hard,” Brathwaite said. “It is about being focussed because sometimes it’s not easy. With him hitting boundaries you may try to hit some as well but it’s all about knowing your game and just going out there and doing what you know you can do.”

Venezuela - Suarez punished for hurting football powers By Eyanir Chinea CARACAS ,(Reuters) - Venezuela’s president has weighed into global controversy over Uruguay striker Luis Suarez’s World Cup expulsion, saying he had been unfairly punished for helping eliminate Italy and England. “They can’t forgive Uruguay that a son of the people has eliminated two of football’s big nations, so they invented a whole case,” Nicolas Maduro said late on Friday. Suarez scored two goals against England in a 2-1 victory, and helped his team to a 1-0 win over Italy in the group stages, meaning Uruguay and Costa Rica made it to the next round while the humiliated Europeans went home. It was in the Italy game that Suarez bit defender Giorgio Chiellini, earning him a nine-match ban from international games and a four-month suspension from football altogether by world governing body FIFA. “It’s very painful this disproportionate punishment that FIFA has taken against Luis Suarez, a great striker who belongs to all of us in South America,” said Maduro, the populist successor to late Venezuelan socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez. “No one denies some corrective measures were needed, but to suspend him for four months from football where he shines? To take him out of the World Cup? Latin America views this with outrage and we reject it totally.” Suarez’s actions did provoke widespread international shock, but there is also a growing chorus of criticism of the punishment as excessive, including from Chiellini himself. The strongest comments have come from Latin American leftists, ranging from Uruguay’s President Jose Mujica to Argentine footballing great Diego Maradona who have cast the affair in terms of an international conspiracy. Maduro, a former bus-driver who calls himself Venezuela’s “worker-president”, said all Latin Americans felt for Suarez, especially given his humble background. “We send him a greeting of solidarity and brotherhood. A son of the people, a son of a simple woman who worked as a house-help, who lived in great poverty and rose from that,” he said on state TV. Suarez has returned to Uruguay to be with his family. Though Venezuela has more of a baseball tradition, its 29 million people have embraced football more in recent years and been glued to the World Cup despite the disappointment of their own national side not making it in a spirited qualifying campaign.

Point to prove in Sri Lanka - Duminy

EVEN though next year’s World Cup will be played in conditions completely different from what South Africa will experience from next week, they head to Sri Lanka with a “point to prove”, according to JP Duminy. This time last year, South Africa were thumped 4-1 in an ODI series on the island - their biggest defeat in a bilateral series away from home since 2004 in New Zealand - and the memory of that humbling still stings. “It is going to be a tough ask for us but I am confident we can make some inroads. We’ve got a nice squad going there. Because we are starting with one-dayers, it’s important for us to start well,” Duminy said at South Africa’s fitness camp in Pretoria last week. The magnitude of the task is not lost on Duminy. South Africa have won only two of the 16 ODIs they have played in Sri Lanka, one in 1993 and the other 20 years later in 2013. They have the same number of Test victories, although from fewer fixtures, 10. Sri Lanka is also the last place where South Africa lost a Test series away from home, eight years ago. “Last year we didn’t have Test matches there so that’s going to be an important aspect for us especially because we’ve lost the No.1 Test ranking. We have a bit of a point to prove in getting that back,” Duminy said.

South Africa slipped a fraction below Australia when the ICC’s annual rankings update was done in May, but the team can regain their crown with a 1-0 win over Sri Lanka. Given Sri Lanka’s excellent form in 2014 and that South Africa’s new-look team will be without the experience of Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis, Duminy expects people to underestimate South Africa’s chances of doing that and he thinks it could be just what they need to spring a surprise. “It’s a great thing if teams think that we are vulnerable. If they have that sort of mindset coming into the game, it gives us an opportunity to prove them wrong.” With South Africa anxious to show what they are capable of, it will come as good news to them that conditions in Sri Lanka have changed from the last time South Africa played Test cricket there. The absence of Muttiah Muralitharan has lessened the need for the raging turner and with Sri Lanka’s pace battery promising much, the pitches may be less difficult for South Africa to negotiate. That will be particularly good news for Duminy, who was one of the batsmen who struggled against spin early in his career but is something he feels he has overcome. “Having that spin issue is something I have put behind me. I have improved a lot,” he said. “I can’t pinpoint exactly what the technical issue was because it has been three or four years but I am confident facing spin now.

Ramdin and Holder added 37 for the sixth wicket after lunch, and it seemed then as if West Indies would carve out a bigger first innings lead.

He took two more boundaries off Craig to move into the 40s but then played all around a straight one from Boult and was given lbw. Not even a review could save him. With no runs added ten balls later, Roach was taken by wicketkeeper BJ Watling diving one-handed to his right off Boult, leaving the Windies on 277 for seven. Holder then took charge in a pleasant innings, adding 36 with Shane Shillingford, who finished on ten not out.

Pacer Neil Wagner (four for 64) removed West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chandepaul at the stroke of lunch on the third day at Kensington Oval, Barbados. Showing a penchant for the drive, Holder stroked Wagner past mid-on for his first boundary before cover-driving Boult for another, to take West Indies past 300. He punched Neesham impressively through cover but then with the runs having dried up, gloved a pull behind to Watling, 15 minutes before tea. The end came swiftly for the Windies as Sulieman Benn lost to his off-stump to Wagner for one before Jeorme Taylor was yorked by Neesham, also for one, off the first ball of the next over.
