‘This is a dangerous power’ - says Attorney-General of APNU’s absurd AML/CFT proposal

ATTORNEY-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, has charged the APNU with intentionally misleading the nation about changes it intends to make to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) Bill.

Speaking on the programme “Political Scope” on the National Communications Network (NCN) on Tuesday, the Minister said that as of Saturday, February 8, there were no amendments or suggestions to the Select Committee from APNU in relation to the bill.

He said it was not until Sunday, February 9, that that coalition brought amendments to the select committee, but those amendments were not in relation to the Bill, but to the Principal Act. He pointed out that what this basically meant is that, 10 months ago, the Bill could have been passed in the National Assembly.

“It is clear, therefore, that the entire country was misled for the last 10 months by the leadership of the APNU, when they continuously repeated in the public domain, in the National Assembly and elsewhere (that) they had substantial amendments to make to that Bill; because, as I said, and I repeat for emphasis, Saturday the committee completed its work in relation to that Bill, and apart from some numbering mistakes and some minimal and inconsequential printing errors which were identified, no amendments were made to that Bill by the APNU…,” the minister said.

The Bill at reference was laid in the National Assembly in April 2010, and APNU has since been hinting, at every turn, that they wanted to make amendments, but they never did, until now.

PROPOSAL CONFLICT On Sunday, for the first time in the 10 months, two proposals were produced to the select committee: One from Jaipaul Sharma, and the other from Carl Greenidge, Minister Nandlall said.

He said that, upon a most peripheral and cursory examination of these separate pieces of paper presented by two members from the same party, it was apparent there was conflict.

Both documents also contained several grammatical errors, and were disconcerted in relation to the way in which the thoughts were expressed. “So here we have two members of the same select committee, from the same political party, presenting two papers dealing with the same issues and they are colliding with each other.

Significantly, the proposals were not in respect of the bill which was before the committee, but they were in relation to the Principal Act.” The minister said he objected to them, and pointed to a standing order that provides very clearly that a select committee is confined in its mandate only to consider the bill which has been transmitted to it, and that there is no roaming mandate or jurisdiction or authority to wander outside of the four corners of the bill that was before it.

“The amendments which were proposed, as conflicting as they were, as disconcerted as they were, were not in relation to the bill; they were in relation to the Principal Act. So I raised the objection that it would be ultra-vires the authority and jurisdiction of the com-

ATTORNEY-GENERAL ANIL NANDLALL mittee, and volatility of an express standing order for the committee to dwell with the proposals that were both before it,” Nandlall said.

However, the government side was overruled by a majority vote, and in fact it has become an established proclivity and a tendency demonstrated by the opposition to continuously disregard norms, democratic traditions, merits, rules, regulations, the constitution and, recently, court rulings, the minister pointed out.

“So you have a standing order being thrown out of the meeting by way of a vote, because they have a majority;, and that type of tendency has serious implications for democracy… these are embedded tendencies of political leaders of a particular political party that has a history of dictatorship and authoritarianism, and we are seeing nothing different in this select committee,” he said.

In the end, the select committee adjourned the meeting for nearly two hours for Sharma and Greenidge to reconcile their conflicting proposals into a single proposal.

“What that means is that, at the 11th hour, they came up and scrambled together these proposals. It means that, for 10 months, they did nothing in relation to this bill, or even in relation to the Principal Act,” the minister reiterated.

POLICE AND CUSTOMS OFFICERS After holding Guyanese to ransom for all those months, APNU is now proposing that police and customs officers be given the power to stop and search persons, and if such persons are found with $2 million worth of currency or more -- and currency is defined in the Act to include jewellery and precious metals -- that currency can be seized and the persons arrested if the police or customs officer has reasonable suspicion that it is the proceeds of some serious offence, or the subject of money laundering. The hapless victim then must get an order from a judge to release his currency.

This is susceptible to abuse, and Government is concerned with the granting of such power to mere police officers and customs officers.

Guyana is a cash-based economy. In the ordinary course of business, it is not unusual for Guyanese to have in their possession over $2 million in cash. For example, the rice farmer after he reaps his paddy is paid in cash, a person who is building his house will go with cash exceeding $2M to buy his hardware items. A police officer or customs officer can seize those monies.

“We are aware of the allegations of corruption against the police force and the customs department. This power in the hand of the wrong person can wreak havoc in our country. We believe that, at least, there must be consultation with the Guyanese public before such a law is passed. In any event, this is not an amendment to the bill, neither is it part of the CFATF’s recommendations.

FIU The APNU is also proposing to change the whole Government structure of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). They are removing the power of the appointment of the director of FIU from the minister and placing it in a committee of the National Assembly. They further proposed the establishment of an authority comprising 10 persons nominated by the National Assembly after consulting with stakeholders. Who these stakeholders are the proposals do not state.

“The United Nations Security Council has produced a book in which they have examined all the FIUs around the globe. They have recommended the executive model to be used, as it has proven to be the most effective. Guyana, the entire Caribbean, the United States and Canada have this model.

“In this model, the officers are appointed by the Executive.

However, whichever model is used, they emphasise that the FIU must be autonomous and independent, and that is why the important officers are appointed by a singular person. The rationale clearly is that if you have too many persons involved in the appointment, it compromises the independence of the unit, its confidentiality, and exposes it to conflict of interest scenarios with too many persons now being associated with the unit, some of whom are their relatives or may be the subject of investigations themselves,” he stated.

In terms of confidentiality, these persons will have access to a huge amount of people’s financial and other personal information.

For these reasons, the AG is doubtful whether these proposals will enjoy the support of CFATF, as no model such as this exists in any part of the world.

“The Government proposed that since there is no amendment to the bill and the bill has already received the support of CFATF, and we have a deadline to meet in a matter of hours, the bill should be passed, and the amendments be studied closely, discussed with stakeholders, and receive the input of CFATF; and then can be passed separately. This proposal was rejected in the committee by the APNU,” the minister concluded.

Finance Minister denounces as ‘unfair’ untold suffering foisted on the nation

--Because of Opposition’s stubborn stance on AML/CFT Bill

FINANCE Minister, Dr Ashni Singh, last evening blasted the main political opposition party, A Partnership For National Unity (APNU), for waiting until the last minute to present their amendments to the controversial Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill.

What is even more vexing is that the proffered proposals not only have no bearing on the Bill at hand, but neither are they in keeping with any of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force’s (CFATF) Regulations.

According to the minister, APNU’s proposals are more in keeping with the Principal Act, which was passed unanimously

DR ASHNI SINGH since 2009 by the National Assembly.

Addressing the issue of the contentious Bill on the National Communications Network (NCN) programme, “Political Scope”, last evening, Dr Singh said: “The Standing Orders say that the committee shall refer to the matters referred to it, which is the Bill amending specific sections of the Act... They don’t answer a CFATF recommendation; they have had a CFATF review, and they may very well put us in collision with CFATF standards.”

Contending that it is unfair that an entire nation of 750,000 people should suffer at the hands of 33 men and women in the National Assembly, Dr Singh said the international community’s position on the issue is clear: “Implement the law, you’re OK; don’t implement the law, you’re not OK.” The political Opposition has, since January 2012, been in control of the National Assembly, yet nothing was brought before the legislature during all of this time. Despite public calls by the Government since May 2013, no action was taken by the political Opposition, until late Sunday night.

When the amendments were finally produced, there were two different sets, the minister said. “One by Mr. (Carl) Greenidge and the other drafted by Mr. (Jaipaul) Sharma. So they had to ask for the committee to be adjourned at 9pm for them to try to merge these two documents; and at that time, to try to brainstorm and think through what it is they were proposing at 9pm.”

The adjustments proposed by APNU, he said, are designed to inflict economic harm, and will pose grave consequences to Guyanese, according to Dr. Singh.

For instance, one the proposed amendments will authorise any police rank, customs officer, or anyone appointed by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to stop anyone deemed suspicious and seize whatever currency, as well as gold and any other valuables they happen to have in their possession at the time. Said the minister, “Can you imagine being stopped and searched, and having your cash seized because of suspicion? This is just one. And the others are equally perilous!”

Given the implications of what they’re dealing with, Minister Singh said an appeal was made to the Opposition to have the proposed amendments to the principal act reviewed by stakeholders and even by CFATF, but they rejected the idea, saying they were just not interested in that course of action.

Noting the years of hard work the government has put in to

bring Guyana to its present economic state, and rebuild its international credibility, Dr Singh said: “We are no longer a pariah State as we were under Greenidge’s superintendence of our economy, but it appears now that he’s out of office, that he wishes to repeat the feat that he accomplished while he was in office, because, instead of doing what is right and good for Guyana, and that is simply to support the amendments -- on which there is agreement, and with which they have no problems -they want to hold the nation to ransom. And that’s a grave matter!”

The AFC’s posturing on the Bill also came under fire, as that party has called for a political concession in order to support the Bill. For the Finance Minister, this move is equally irresponsible as they are all Parliamentarians to serve people. “This is not a game we are playing, he said.

Guyana is set to be blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force if it fails to pass the amended Anti-money laundering and Countering of Financing of Terrorism Bill and will suffer from financial sanctions via international institutions. (GINA)

Storm, bringing deadly ice and snow, slams U.S. southeast (Reuters) - A DEADLY winter storm brought heavy snow, freezing rain and a possibly historic accumulation of ice to the southeastern United States on Wednesday, causing hundreds of thousands of power outages and treacherous driving conditions, meteorologists said.

The worsening storm stretched from eastern Texas to the Carolinas, and is likely to reach the Middle Atlantic states by late Wednesday, National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Edwards said.

Power outages spread rapidly as temperatures dropped.

More than 110,000 Georgia Power customers were without electricity on Wednesday, with most outages reported in metropolitan Atlanta. Some customers may have to wait up to a week for power to be restored, said Georgia Power spokeswoman Amy Fink.

“It does appear that the storm could have an even greater impact than we originally had predicted,” she said.

The wintry mix had already caused two weather-related traffic deaths in Mississippi and three in northern Texas earlier in the week, authorities said. The state Highway Patrol in South Carolina had responded to 273 weather-related calls for service overnight.

Nearly 3,000 U.S. flights were canceled and hundreds more delayed early on Wednesday, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.com.

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta was hardest hit, with more than 800, or 69 percent of flights, canceled, FlightAware.com said.

Delta Air Lines and AirTran, the two dominant carriers there, had the most cancellations as of Wednesday morning.

“Atlanta is all but shut down. None of our approximately 155 departures scheduled for today is operating,” said spokesman Brad Hawkins of Southwest Airlines, which operates AirTran.

Up to three-quarters of an inch of ice was expected in a broad section of Georgia, including metropolitan Atlanta.

Some areas could see more than 1 inch.

The Interstate 20 corridor from north central and northeastern Georgia into South Carolina would be among the hardest hit by icy conditions, said meteorologist Edwards.

Snowfall totals were expected to be unusually high in the region, with nearly 8 inches forecast for Charlotte, North Carolina, and 9 inches for Spartanburg, South Carolina. Parts of the state, from the mountains to the coast, had already seen

heavy snowfall.

“It is going to be a tough 48 hours,” said North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, noting that toppled trees and downed power lines were likely to create hazardous travel conditions.

Edward Clay, 40, who lives in Greer, South Carolina, decided against driving to Asheville, North Carolina, for his job as a construction project superintendent, even though snow flurries were just beginning.

“I could get to Asheville easy,” he said. “Getting back to South Carolina is the problem.

It’s going to be an all-around bad day to be on the road.”

Government officials were quick to make plans to deal with the impact of the storm, following another two weeks ago that paralyzed Atlanta-area roads and forced more than 11,000 students in Alabama to spend the night at their schools.

Hundreds of schools and government offices across the South were closed on Wednesday, and shelters were opened in Georgia and Alabama to help those stranded by the storm.

Conditions deteriorated overnight as a swath of the Deep South, from Alabama through South Carolina, was deluged with rain, sleet and snow, Edwards said.

A tractor-trailer carrying milk jack-knifed on Interstate 285 around Atlanta early on Wednesday, said state transportation department spokeswoman Natalie Dale.

Overall, the traffic volume was light.

“People really seem to be heeding the warnings and staying off the roads,” Dale added.

The last significant ice storm in Georgia was in January 2000, when up to half an inch of ice left more than 350,000 people without power, weather service meteorologist Dan Darbe said.

With the latest storm, “we’re talking a much larger area and a much larger amount of ice”, he said.

Winter storm watches reached into the Northeast, where heavy snow and possible ice was expected as the storm moved up the eastern seaboard on Thursday.

Opposition plan for post-war Syria ignores Assad

By Khaled Yacoub Oweis (Reuters) - THE Syrian opposition called on Wednesday for a transitional governing body to oversee a U.N.-monitored ceasefire across Syria and expel foreign fighters, in a paper that avoided any mention of President Bashar al-Assad.

The confidential paper, seen

by Reuters, lays out a vision of post-conflict Syria with all ethnic groups participating in a transition process aimed at restoring peace and stability.

Opposition and diplomatic sources said it deliberately does not refer to Assad, in line with a text agreed by world powers in June 2012 which calls for a transitional body with full executive authority, including over the security apparatus and the army, but which leaves the Syrian ruler’s fate open.

“I think that the opposition has come to the obvious conclusion that the best way to deal with Assad is to avoid mentioning him,” one Middle Eastern

diplomat said.

The memorandum was presented to mediator Lakhdar Brahimi and a Syrian government delegation at a joint session at talks in Geneva aimed at halting three years of bloodshed that has killed more than 130,000 people and driven millions from their homes.

The transitional authority will be “the only legitimate body that represents the sovereignty and independence of the Syrian state and is the only one that represents the Syrian state internationally”, the paper said.

Asked why the document did not go into the fate of Assad, the opposition’s chief negotiator, Hadi al-Bahra, told Reuters: “We can no longer talk about one person as the sole embodiment of Syria. We deliberately presented a legal paper.

Anyone who reads it will realize that a political transition will be the foundation for a new democratic future.”

The Syrian government delegation said on Wednesday

that negotiations must focus first on fighting terrorism and rejected parallel track talks on the opposition’s priority of a transitional government as a “fruitless” idea.

Senior U.S. and Russian officials, backing opposing sides, are to meet Brahimi on Thursday to bolster support for his efforts to keep the faltering talks on track.

“Once again, the opposition has shown a seriousness of purpose in their approach to these talks. They continue to outline their vision for the future of Syria and we commend them for that,” a U.S. State Department official in Geneva said.

“Their vision is one which respects the freedom and dignity of all Syrians. They have shown that they are willing to engage constructively for the sake of the Syrian people. We have seen no such engagement from the (Assad) regime.”

GAYS HAVE RIGHTS TOO

By Miranda La Rose

(Newsday) ROMAN Catholic priest Fr Stephen Geofroy has spoken up for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBTs) saying they must not “suffer” for their rights in favour of a majority.

Geofroy, a lecturer in philosophy at the University of the West Indies (UWI), St Augustine, said LGBTs are people and there was no further need for national consultations on their rights being protected under the Constitution.

“We cannot suffer the rights of a minority for the majority,” he declared on Monday night.

The issues of either acknowledging God or not in the Constitution, and a need for further national consultations on the protection of LGBTs in relation to fundamental rights and freedoms were among the main issues raised at a consultation on a Draft Report for Constitutional Reform at UWI’s Sports and Physical Education Centre, St Augustine.

The report was prepared by the Constitution Reform Commission led by Legal Affairs Minister Prakash Ramadhar.

A recommendation that the chapter in the Constitution on Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms should not be altered, and that “the issue of sexual orientation and human rights should be made the subject of further national discussion and public education,” evoked much debate mainly from the evangelical Christian community and from individuals who were totally against any special rights being given to LGBTs. President of the Coalition Advocating for Inclusion for Sexual Orientation Colin Robinson started the debate expressing disappointment that as someone whose sexual orientation is different from the majority, he may not be able to enjoy in his lifetime protection rights to his sexuality as an adult and inclusiveness in the development of the economy and to benefit from society in terms of social services, including health.

“I thought that in my lifetime, I would see full protection for persons like myself under the Constitution,” he said.

Among those speaking against the issue of sexual orientation was Paul Persad who said he does not have to be a Christian to know right from wrong and the lowering of standards and degeneration of societies that will take place by granting human rights protection to LGBTs. He cited the lowering of standards taking place in the United States on account of granting rights to LGBTs. Two representatives who spoke on behalf of the evangelical Christian community were strong in their views about not supporting certain rights for gays noting that sexual relations between persons of the same sex were a damnation and go against the word of God. They spoke of the country being punished in the same way that Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible were.

They supported the recommendation for further national discussions on LGBTs rights while Geofroy questioned the need for further discussion.

“Aren’t lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders humans too? Yes or No? Yes. Then they should have rights as other people have,” he said to a loud round of applause.

The debate was not about whether they are people or not, he said, it was about the prejudice and injuries they have suffered on account of discrimination that has become part and parcel of TT’s culture.

“We have come out of a long history of slavery and indentureship and now is the time to break the many things that denigrate the LGBT person,” he said. “This is our time to break decisively with any discrimination and disrespect of people.”

Calling for leadership to be taken on the issue, he said, “it must be based on reason, on natural rights and what is a human person.” The business of the Constitution, he said, is to uphold the rights of citizens.

Cops seize 400lbs of ganja stuffed in car (Jamaica Observer) POLICE seized close to 400 pounds of marijuana yesterday during an operation in Lakes Pen, St Catherine.

The weed, which police said had a street value of approximately $5 million, was packed inside a Toyota Camry, leaving space only for the driver, who led cops from the Ferry Police Station on a high-speed chase through sections of the volatile area.

“At about 7:00 am police patrolling the Lakes Pen main road saw a vehicle travelling along the road with several large bags,” one cop told the Jamaica Observer.

Police say their suspicions were aroused when they were greeted with the strong scent of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

The driver ignored an order to stop and, when the car was eventually cornered, he fled.

Uproar in the House as PM reveals $117m spent on overseas trips … Holness: Ministers must travel with frugality

(Jamaica Observer) A NASTY episode of name-calling, jeers and shouts of abuse characterised most of the approximately hour-long interlude during which Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller answered questions about her frequent overseas trips in the House of Representatives Tuesday.

House Speaker Michael

Peart fought to keep order during most of the period as Opposition Leader Andrew Holness posed some follow-up questions emanating from the 61-page document tabled by Simpson Miller with her answers to his original questions.

There were only a few copies of the document available.

The Opposition had to make

Four Charged in Gang Activity (Trinidad Guardian) For the first time since the limited State of Emergency in 2011, the police have instituted charges against four people, including a mother and her son, under the controversial Anti-Gang Act. The group was remanded into custody after they appeared before Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar in the Port-of-Spain Eighth Court Tuesday to answer a total of seven criminal charges related to gang activity in Port-of-Spain between July and August last year.

Anton “Boombay” Boney, 30, of Africa Road, John John, Laventille, faced five charges, including one for being a gang leader.

The other accused are Nigel Sandy, of Oropune Gardens, Piarco; Jameel Earle, 24, of Nelson Street, Port-of-Spain, and his mother Denise Earle, 42, of Las Alturas, Lady Young Road, Morvant.

Boney, Sandy and Earle were jointly charged with being gang members, conspiring with others to murder Kevon Cooper on July 13 last year, the attempted murder of Gregory Goodridge on July 26 and coercing a man to join a gang at Duncan Street, Port-ofSpain. Denise Earle was not accused of being a member of her son’s alleged gang but was charged with assisting and supporting gang activity.

Immediately after the charges were read, attorney Wayne Sturge, who is representing Boney, who was not arrested during the emergency, asked for special arrangements be made for his client to be sent to the Port-of-Spain State Prison as he had been receiving death threats from inmates at the prison facilities in Arouca. “Boney will be in grave danger if he is taken to the Golden Grove Prison or the Maximum Security Prison,” Sturge said.

Ayers-Caesar made a note of Sturge’s claim but said she had no authority to direct prison officials on how to house prisoners. Sturge also said while Boney was in police custody, investigators from the Criminal Gang Intelligence Unit (CGIU) threatened him and took away his diabetes medication, a claim which was denied by members of the unit who were in court. Sturge and the group’s attorneys also claimed investigators prevented their clients from speaking to them while they were detained.

Security measures were increased significantly for the group’s court appearance, with heavily armed police in riot gear guarding all the exits of the court at St Vincent Street, Port-of-Spain. Approximately 449 people were arrested in connection with gang activity during the emergency. A little under half were subsequently released without charge.

Of the 236 who were charged with being gang members, all but one, Jason Edwards, were discharged by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard, who said the State had insufficient evidence to prosecute them. In July last year, a San Fernando magistrate convicted Edwards of being a gang member and sentenced him to two years’ imprisonment.

do with two copies, and the Government members with probably two more. No copies were available for the press.

Portia Simpson Miller The prime minister’s answers said that full cost of overseas visits by members of her Government, including junior ministers, was $117.8 million.

The cost of trips paid for by the Office of the Prime Minister was $25 million for staff, and $15 million for the prime minister alone on her 25 trips.

Holness was greeted with laughter and derision when he rose to ask additional questions.

Leader of Opposition Business Derrick Smith suggested that the Speaker ensure that the opposition leader was protected by the chair, but Peart said the jeers were not confined to one side.

When the Opposition demanded that the Government show the opposition leader some respect, junior minister Luther Buchanan said, “him doan deserve that yet”.

“No amount of noise and distraction is going to prevent me, or the members on this side from bringing out the truth about the operations of this Government. So they can make as much noise as they want,” Holness responded.

“I take a stand on this side, that when the prime minister rises on her feet, and all my members here are aware of the stand I take, that the Office of the Prime Minister must be respected. I take that stand and I am not here begging respect from anyone,” he added.

Holness said that it was understood that prime ministers must travel, however, the debate was not about “whether or not prime ministers should travel, or are entitled to travel, but that when prime ministers travel they must report to Parliament”.

“And they must exercise the entitlement of travel with discretion and frugality,” the opposition leader said.

The most expensive trip listed by the prime minister’s document was the $6.5 million spent on a seven-day visit to Ethiopia in May 2013 for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Organisation of African States (OAS)/African Union.

But Holness came under some heavy bombardment from Government members when he asked about the outcome of the expensive Addis Ababa trip.

The prime minister said that she was surprised at the question being asked about an African nation.

“Fifty years of the African Union and I am touring where my ancestors were born and bred, some of them, and some in Jamaica, and you know something, Mr Speaker, never mind enslavers, because there were times when our own caught us and sell us into slavery...,” Simpson Miller said as she related the story of African children caught and sold into slavery.

“The African blood runs deep in my veins...” she said.

“The African blood runs deep in me, as well,” Holness responded.

“No, no, no,” shouted Government MPs, which angered Holness.

GUYANA Kayman Sankar’s passing...

A sad day for Guyana

EDITORIAL

Private sector ambivalence

RAMJATTAN is gloating that he called President Donald Ramotar’s bluff in not supporting the Anti-money laundering and Terrorism Bill, without considering or caring about the socio-economic consequences to the Guyanese people. And Granger is being sanctimonious, and grandstanding as usual, while their combined parties hold the nation to ransom and blackmail the Government into granting them more and more concessions that would soon strip it of every executive power of governance, with initiative after initiative falling victim to the executioner’s axe.

In the wake of a national crisis created in the United States of America, when Americans across every State reached out to help their fellow Americans, Barack Obama said, feelingly (referring to this spirit of sharing and caring, except for rare instances) “...there are no Republicans and Democrats; only Americans.”

In one of the Hindu Holy Books, it is said that Hindus honour their poets more than their kings, because the emotions of their poets are more powerful than the sword arms of kings, and influence the humanity within humankind more than the creeds, doctrines, and laws of the powerbrokers. Thus was Tulsidas revered for his “Ram Charit Manus”, the lyrical translation of Valmiki’s “Ramayan”.

Barack Obama was responding to the emotion of the moment, and spoke from his heart. If this depth of feeling and patriotism prevails in leaders worldwide, they would not be able to turn a blind eye, a deaf ear, and a stony heart to the needs and/or suffering of their peoples, but would do whatever it takes to be true to their mandates, and create better lives and lifestyles for the citizens of the lands that they rule. Regrettably, historically, those who can do the greatest good for Mankind often choose to do the greatest evil, all because of egos.

When Dr. Cheddi Jagan recognised the grave injustices being done to the working-class people in Guyana and set out on his lifelong journey to equalize opportunities for upward mobility for all living in then British Guiana, with the ultimate objective of acquiring independence from dominion status and self-rule, he did so with the inclusion of all who were willing to undertake that journey with him, with no consideration of creed or colour; merely with people being paramount in the equation.

But time and again, he was betrayed by those who craved power at any cost, even if it meant delaying the acquisition of independence in this country, which it did, and the sacrifice of peace and unity in the nation, which it also did.

But he never relinquished that dream of uniting the Guyanese people, refusing steadfastly to wrest his right to govern by violent means, accepting with patient dignity the grave injustices done to himself and his political party, the PPP, for decades, while one election after another was rigged, until the Americans themselves acknowledged the role they had played in the destruction of Guyana and tried to right that wrong with sanctions imposed on the past administration, and the intervention of the Carter Centre, which eventuated in the first somewhat (not quite, because there were even then attempts at derailment) free-and-fair elections in 1992.

Leading up to that time, Dr. Jagan had tried to join forces with other stakeholders and be inclusionary in his struggles for freedom in this country, even lending “critical support” to the PNC administration when that government undertook or achieved, which it rarely did, positive developmental outcomes in the country.

Space does not permit documentation here of the depredations wrought on this country post and during elections of 1992 in efforts to prevent the creation, and the administration, of a PPP/C Government, but all the destabilizing opposition strategies over the two decades of the PPP/C’s rule are well documented. Yet, the administration prevailed and achieved a near miracle in the nation’s economic growth and social development, especially during the latter years when there was severe recession in global economies.

One could just imagine if the PPP/C Government had been allowed to govern unimpeded by the Opposition’s destructive an-

IT IS with great sadness and a sense of loss, that the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA), along with the entire rice sector, mourns the passing of another Guyanese icon and pioneering entrepreneur, Kayman Sankar.

To say that Kayman Sankar took rice farming in Guyana into the age of mechanization would not be an exaggeration, but mere fact; and his sole and innovative endeavours were often the catalyst for many improvements in the agronomic enterprises of this country.

Like other pioneering giants in and out of Guyana, Kayman Sankar was so poor during his childhood and formative years that he was forced to truncate his education and formulate his own opportunities for wealth-creation and advancement, never depending on others but his own efforts, strength, and self-sacrifice, even while supporting his family on subsistence wages, all achieved without any enabling factors then extant to aid him in any way.

However, perseverance, determination to succeed (mainly to propel his loved ones out of a life of penury and provide them with better lifestyles than he ever enjoyed), frugal spending and clever management of the pittances he earned by simultaneously doing a multiplicity of jobs -- no matter how menial, to acquire the wherewithal for investing in wealth-creation ventures –- ultimately in rice production paid off: and a legend was born.

If one can describe humility in conjunction with magnate, then they would be describing Kayman Sankar, because, although he rose to unimaginable heights, he never lost sight or feel of his groundings, and thus was very humane in his dealings with his fellow humans.

The general-secretary, executives, management, staff, and

Not the PPP’s call IT IS not the PPP’s job to call on Nigel Hughes to resign; the PPP’s job is to see to it that no citizen/s are above the law.

Nigel Hughes did what is required of him in representing wellknown criminals, even if for free. It is the PPP’s job to hire and appoint competent, non-prejudicial prosecutors, magistrates and judges.

From the day Nigel Hughes removed that tape recording from that Buxton gas station killing, he should have been charged for tampering with evidence. In another country, he would have been disbarred; but then we have a sham of a Bar Association, with primary members tarred with the same brush.

Any other citizen who tampered with evidence at a crime scene would have been jailed; but not Nigel Hughes. So, from that day on, Nigel Hughes has been treated as though he is untouchable and bigger than the law.

Nigel Hughes (and Nagamootoo) threatened the President with “consequences” within 40 hours (most likely the time it took to mobilize) if he did not fire Minister Rohee; and the “consequences” erupted when thugs blocked the Agricola Public Road; but the architect of the rampage faced no legal consequences as a result of his threats and the consequential carnage and destruction to people and property that followed. And the fracas in Linden following other threats is now part of Guyana’s sad history.

Again, it was Nigel Hughes in the spotlight with jury-tampering that caused murderers to be set free after they killed innocent children while asleep in their beds in the wee hours of the morning.

And it was Nigel Hughes who was preaching to Lindeners that all lands on the East Coast all the way up to Berbice belonged to their African ancestors.

From Day One, when a case jacket ends up in court without its file, the prosecutor should be held accountable. From Day One, when a file without names ends up in court, the prosecutor should be held accountable.

Some shyster lawyers representing members of cartels and terrorists have magistrates and judges in their pockets by having them on their payrolls, or through political affiliation and misguided loyalty; which, although impossible to prove, can be adjudged from the adage: “The proof of the pudding is in the eating”, based on the improbable verdicts in some cases they win.

So, we are calling on the Government again to pass laws to do away with the jury system in Guyana. The connection that was proved between Nigel Hughes and the jury foreman that caused murderers to walk free had been proven to have occurred many times before, when jurors (and even witnesses) sell their integrity for cash and/or kind; and it is happening at present and will continue to happen forever.

T. KING tics, where Guyana could have been in the global developmental ratings today. Those calling for inclusionary government need to be cognisant of the mayhem that would ensue if there is a joint Cabinet. Let them take a look at what is happening in parliament today, where the Opposition has exceptional powers, especially through the sectoral committees, with the Public Accounts committee always being chaired by the Opposition, and then decide if they want a Cabinet that is engulfed in such chaos.

The private sector, which has benefited the most from the PPP/C’s brilliant management of the nation’s business, is largely to be blamed for the country’s situation today, because of their ambivalence in laying the blame for the stymieing of developmental

the entire membership of the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA) extend condolences to Beni and other members of the Sankar family, and to the nation at this grievous loss of a veritable giant of industry and commerce, and a great human being and role model.

DHARAMKUMAR SEERAJ GRPA General-Secretary

An apology is in order LET me, from the outset, make it pellucid that I have no interest in the internal decision-making mechanism of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU); nor do I have any intention of challenging same. What I have is a profound difficulty with the way young Member of Parliament, Vanessa Kissoon was treated at the last sitting of the House.

Ms. Vanessa Kissoon is a sitting member of the National Executive Committee of the Guyana Youth and Student Movement (GYSM), youth arm of the People’s National Congress (PNC) and a Member of Parliament for seven years. Thus, by virtue of her office, she should have been granted, at the minimum, the common courtesy of being notified of the change in her seating arrangement.

What is even more disgusting is the deafening silence of the GYSM National Chairman, who is also a member of the august assembly and, by extension, the executive of the GYSM. This, to my mind, gives tacit support to the crude and disrespectful treatment of young people.

If this is the manner in which the political leadership will be treating the young people of the party and, more so, of Guyana, then the youths of this country have a lot of rethinking to do. It is time for youths of this country to demand equal treatment, and be seen as equal partners at the decision-making table.

I wish to say, without fear of contradiction, that at no time during my tenure in the GYSM, and that of my predecessors that such level of repugnance would have been tolerated. Thus an unequivocal apology must be demanded from the chief whip and the intellectual authors of the decision forthwith.

BEVON CURRIE Youth Activist and former GYSM National Secretary

Now is not the time to play politics!

--The nation’s future is at stake

THE Bartica United Youth Development Group (BUYDG) is calling on the three political parties in the House to urgently sort out their differences and work in good faith in the interest of all citizens of Guyana to complete the Anti-moneylaundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Bill before it’s too late.

We call on all three parties to reach an agreement on the following: (a) The establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which is long overdue,bearing in mind that it deals with the handling of government contracts in a transparent way; (b) The completion of passage into Law of the Local Government Bill, bearing in mind that there has been no Local Government Elections since 1994; and (c) The completion of the AMLCFT Bill before the deadline.

BUYDG is in full support of all of the afore-mentioned Bills, including the PPC, as they are important and beneficial to all citizens and business organisations of Guyana. This is not the time to play titfor-tat, or for the Bill to be used as an avenue for their own agendas.

BUYDG believes that the time has come for all of the parties to work together in the interest of the people of Guyana, and to do less fighting and come to some sort of agreement on a matter as crucial as the AMLFT, the failure of which will have far-reaching consequences for the future of the country.

The parties need to try their best to reach common ground on all such important matters and focus on cooperating with each other to move the country forward.

MICAH WILLIAMS BUYGD General President initiatives in Guyana; so, it is fitting that they should be the ones to suffer the most from their constantly supporting the opposition, and/ or not clearly showing their displeasure at their destructive actions.

One wonders how they would be able to manage their business if there is constant wrangling and negative actions by board members; or how they could run their homes if the wife disagrees with everything the husband attempts. It is not too late for the joint Opposition to take stock of their actions, be patriotic, and say to themselves, “Let us put country first and work for the nation’s good,” instead of pitting Guyanese against Guyanese to foster their illusions of self-grandeur, and emulate Obama by saying, “There are no PNC-ites and PPPites, there are only Guyanese.”

GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday February 13, 2014

A tsunami of corruption Insanitary I WRITE on behalf of the Maranatha Ministries International, Inc, of which I am the Chief Executive (Senior Pastor). I am answerable to a congregation, which is made up of all classes of people, for example, police officers, army officials, public servants, educators, cane -cutters, nurses and City Council workers among others.

We are living in a world where primitive notions (laws) are non-existent. The reason for this is, Man has reached a high level of maturity in dealing with human government and affairs, whereby in times past, we were primitive in our thinking and acted without understanding the consequences of our actions.

We, as human beings, have the ability to conduct ourselves in an acceptable manner in society, because there are universities, Internet access, brilliant historians, poets, political analysts and all the things needed for a balanced society, so that we would not become insignificant and plunge into societal and moral decay.

There is a great danger when brilliant men begin to adapt or lean to primitive thinking, and more so hold on to the concept that others will agree with them. While it is true that the vilest of humans are capable of saying and declaring things primitive to negatively affect their individual household of maybe five or seven, it is far more consequential to do so in a nation of 750,000 people.

In Guyana, we have seen the decay of our society on all fronts with evidence, and I mean

strong evidence, of corruption.

Many years ago, in the mid-80s, I worked in a shipping company that was on the rise. Suddenly, I was promoted to superintendent of the entire operations, which promotion afforded me to live in the Company House with 24-hour security, and to drive a brand new car.

After a few months (being new) in this position, and not fully into the function (privileged position) of superintendent, a consignee came to me with a customs officer in the transit shed, and sought my assistance in clearing his cargo. (Notably, in my former position as a clerk, no one ever approached me with a request for help). The first thing that happened was, I was handed an envelope with what appeared to be currency. Previously, I’d heard of corrupt officers who would arrange for a fee, the expeditious clearing of consignees’ cargoes. I had no evidence that this was happening; just hearsay. Nevertheless, I kept the envelope and proceeded to use my position and authority to conduct business in a manner that is akin to a corrupt transaction.

At the end of that day, I opened the envelope, only to find, not a day’s pay or even a week’s wages, but money that was ill-gotten; and lots of it.

I began to feel bad about this act, but did not know how to return this money to the donor/ consignee; and so I sat down at home and assessed the situation and concluded that because of my privileged position as the superintendent, automatically

I was in a position to receive a massive amount of monies if I remain.

It was in the month of December (in the peak period) when I told my wife I was resigning, because I do not want to be known as a corrupt person (as I was a Christian leader).

Now, after close to 30 years, I am seeing a multiplication (an increase) of corrupt transactions being done on a daily basis.

There are many forms of corruption that inundate our society. Apart from bribes, there are areas of corruption that are not easily detected, but one thing is certain: As a Minister of the Gospel, I am appalled at the high level of corruption that comes to my attention every now and then.

What about the time when a young man asked me to pray for him to own a car, as he already has a driver’s licence.

This young man cannot read and write, and has a low IQ. I just knew that something was amiss. He eventually told me how much he paid for a driver’s licence. It shocked me! Poor fellow! I prayed he didn’t get a car.

And what about the time I was invited to dinner by a top business executive (an American millionaire) who shared with me, in confidence, the corrupt practices of a known politician? Right here in the city of Georgetown, millions of dollars are dodging the tax-man at Camp Street.

Corruption seeps into an organisation in a legal way, and no one can do anything about it. Corruption finds its way into a community when men seek to

benefit from its presence. Corruption invades a nation when lawless behaviour becomes legal practice.

When corruption decrees are made in the name of the Constitution of a nation, and men of renown move to establish such, then know that it is a time and season when a tsunami of corruption will follow.

In reality, at the end of a tsunami, there is utter destruction of property and lives. There is no known system that can eradicate corruption. From Europe to the Caribbean; from the cricket fields of India to the Oval in England; from Africa to Asia; from the banking institutions of the world to the worldwide web, corruption is present. We can only pray that its tenancies do not occupy our world beyond its ability to consume us. Or we can continue to have corruption occupy our space until the end of time, when all men will have to answer to a higher authority: God! APOSTLE VANRICK BERESFORD

washroom facilities I AM writing to you (name of party provided) with reference to the above-mentioned caption. It has been several years now that, term after term, we parents have been complaining about the insanitary condition of your washroom facilities, and we are now fed up of your excuses.

Whatever small improvements you have made have had no significant impact on the kids’ welfare. Other private schools, like Marian’s Academy, do not have this problem, and your excuses are now unacceptable.

This is a final attempt to reach out to you to solve this problem, failure of which will result in us copying this letter to the relevant ministries, and health authorities. We trust you will not allow this situation to reach to that level but instead rectify the problem.

Cleaners need to be constantly working in the washrooms to maintain standards, and your water-flow problem can be rectified with automated systems.

The teachers also complain that they are tired of making representation on our behalf, and not much is being done.

Please do not be “penny wise and pound foolish”. We look forward to your urgent cooperation.

The 24 Assistant Prison Officers (APOs) pose with their certificates and trophies, flanked by senior members of the GPS (seated), yesterday following the ceremony.

Minister Rohee urges exemplary conduct from newly trained Assistant Prison Officers

By Michel Outridge

HOME Affairs Minister Clement Rohee yesterday addressed 24 Assistant Prison Officers (APOs) who successfully completed the GPS Basic Recruits Training Course 2012-2013, held at the Cecil Kilkenny Prison Officers’ Training School in Georgetown.

Assembled at the GPS Sports Club at Camp and Bent Streets, Georgetown for a ceremony to conclude that training, the APOs were urged by Minister Rohee, “Don’t give up,” even as he challenged them to uphold the pledge of the Guyana Prison Service (GPS); to resist becoming corrupt; to ensure all prisoners are kept safely behind bars; and to be cognizant of their behaviour in the treatment of inmates.

Rohee said that of late, the security sector has been placed under scrutiny by some sections of the media, and he urged the APOs to be professional as they carry out their duties at whichever prison they are posted.

He also advised the APOs to have goals and expectations, to work towards achieving those, and to be vigilant in ensuring that cell phones and other prohibited items are not allowed in the prisons.

He, moreover, highlighted the danger of inmates having access to cell phones when he referred to the role that instrument had played in the Georgetown Prison jailbreak of years ago, when five notorious inmates escaped from prison to wreak havoc on the citizenry.

Conversely, Minister Rohee commended the senior officers and other ranks for ensuring all inmates are secure behind bars.

He spoke of the significant role of prison officers, and told the APOs that their work in the GPS would not be easy, because they

would encounter many challenges, but he asked them to act and use their initiative within the policies of the GPS. Minister Rohee appealed to the ranks to be professional; to strive to the best of their ability; and to embrace change, since the GPS modernisation management plan would be implemented for the training and upward mobility of all ranks.

Rohee told the APOs that, when in doubt, they must operate within the framework of prison policies, and they must follow instructions as they gain experience to fulfil the GPS mandate.

Acting Director of Prisons, Welton Trotz, said the ranks had been away from their homes for three months, and by now have experienced some aspects of prison duty. Nevertheless, he said, he still considered them to be “green” on the job and in need of guidance to avoid making too many mistakes.

He said that as they are posted away from their normal habitats, they should remain steadfast and accept the changes.

Trotz admonished the APOs to always conduct themselves responsibly and to have values as they supervise inmates on a daily basis. He said the road to correction is very long, but with support of the Home Affairs Ministry, their goals would be achieved.

Several best achievers among the APOs were presented with trophies besides their certificates of completion. They are as follows: the Best Student -- Malvern Williams; Runner up -- Sophia Davis; Best Drill -- James Douglas; Most Improved -- Travis Gould; Runner-up -- Cravney Caesar; Most Improved Drill -- Sheneera Benjamin; Best Dressed male - Raiburn Ramnarine; Best Dressed female -- Myrtle Joseph.

Colwyn Harding case update...

Jamaican doctors say foreign object inserted into Harding’s rectum - independent medical report confirming sodomy sent to DPP

By Leroy Smith CHAIRMAN of the Police Complaints Authority, Justice Cecil Kennard, last week told the Guyana Chronicle that, based on the materials which were provided to him as he conducted his leg of the investigation into the Colwyn Harding claims of being sodomised, there was no evidence to substantiate the young man’s claims in this regard.

Last week, Justice Kennard submitted his report to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), which furthered same to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Justice Kennard had pointed out that a medical report would have had to be produced to verify sodomy or penetration of Harding’s anus.

However, while the Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority was not in receipt of a medical report, and thus concluded his

Douglas said the course began with 26 persons, two of whom left; but it continued with 12 women and 14 men.

He said their time was spent wisely, since they had a very packed agenda and were lectured on several subjects relevant to their work.

He said their experience in and out of the classroom was “bitter/ sweet” as they were challenged to perform; but in totality, they had gained a lot.

Douglas said the APOs had also managed to cope with the diet and the need for punctuality. In closing his remarks, he thanked all who supported them through the course.

In the Course Report, Olivia Cox, Assistant Superintendent of Prisons/Assistant Training Officer, said the course started in March 28, 2012 and ended in February 2013 with persons drawn from areas across the country.

She said the group was accommodated during the course; meals, among other services, were provided; and they were engaged in training in drills, live firing of weapons, and extra-curricular activities.

Cox noted that the ranks were present at the Magistrate’s Court to get a first hand look at the magisterial proceedings, and their behaviour was fairly good.

In her recommendations, she asked that the road leading to the Cecil Kilkenny Prison Officers’ Training School be upgraded into an all-weather road; the ceiling of the school be sealed, so that bats do not make it their home; tools and machinery be provided for cleaning the school’s compound; and that budgetary allocations be increased for the school. leg of the investigation minus such a report, the Director of Public Prosecutions has been in receipt of a medical report prepared by a health practitioner outside of the Georgetown Public Hospital and handed to the DPP by the attorney for the 23 year old.

Yesterday, attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes, who has been representing the interest of Colwyn Harding and his family, told a press conference that after Harding had been discharged from the GPH, he was seen by a private doctor, who confirmed that there was activity inside the anus. The findings were further concretized when the young man travelled to Jamaica and was seen by doctors in that country.

Relatives of the man are now hoping that the DPP would use the medical report which she has at her disposal to form part of her final decision on the charges to be levelled against the errant ranks of the Timehri Police Station.

Hughes told the press conference that he did not hand over the medical report to the Police Complaints Authority because a complaint was not being filed against the police. Rather, they were reporting a criminal act, and as such the evidence is worth more going to the Director of Public Prosecutions, who deals

Granger tables motion for inquiry commission into criminal violence

By Vanessa Narine OPPOSITION Leader, David Granger has tabled a motion in Parliament, seeking to have a Commission of Inquiry investigate the incidence of criminal violence in Guyana from 2004 to 2010.

Among the related issues, the motion addresses “unlawful killing of undetermined numbers of persons including assassinations; executions; murders; extra-judicial killings by members of the Guyana Police Force Target Special Squad” and other forms of criminal violence in this country.

Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee, in an invited comment, emphasised the need for constructive criticisms of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

He acknowledged that there are deviations from the code of conduct by some ranks, which reflect negatively on the entire Force, but maintained that “bashing” the police is not helpful.

Rohee said that the GPF ought to be commended for successes but “constructively” criticised when the need arises.

“It is our Force. We have to press them to do better and congratulate them for their good work also,” the minister said.

The Granger motion is premised on Article 138(1) of the Constitution, which prescribes that no person shall be deprived of life, intentionally, save in the execution of the sentence of a court in respect of an offence under the Laws of Guyana for which convicted.

It also cites the Commission of Inquiry Act, Chapter 19:03, which states that: “The President may issue a commission appointing one or more commissioners and authorising such commissioner or commissioners to inquire into any matter in which an inquiry would, in the opinion of the President, be for the public welfare.”

US/Italy drug bust...

President pledges full cooperation to bring local players to justice - Minister Rohee to solicit relevant information from US authorities

By Leroy Smith PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday confirmed

that he has instructed Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee to write the United States authorities seeking

any information they have which confirms that there are players within Guyana who are connected to the drug

ring which was dented in the United States and Italy earlier this week.

The President also confirmed that the letter he instructed the minister to dispatch should state very clearly that

legislation that would make it difficult for terrorists, drug smugglers and human traffickers to carry out their activities.

In alerting the GDF that they also need to play a role in the domestic security of the nation, President Ramotar pointed

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar

Minister Clement Rohee

Guyana stands ready to offer its full cooperation with the international law enforcement agencies in bringing the local players to justice. That letter should, moreover, declare that Guyana must not, and will not, be a safe haven for such types of criminals.

Addressing newly promoted ranks of the Guyana Defence Force, heads of the disciplined forces, members of the diplomatic corps, and other influential persons in society, the President yesterday used the latest development to draw the nexus between the importance of the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill (AML/CFT) in the National Assembly.

He said the achievement that is being sought globally is for there to be a kind of cooperation among countries of the world to create a common

to the many cases in countries abroad where drug traffickers and kingpins have been waging war on law enforcement agencies.

He stressed the need for the army to be ready at all times to provide support to the law enforcement agencies here.

President Ramotar said it is because of actions such as the latest one that the international community stands ready to level sanctions against any country which fails to set its legislative framework to hamper the work of those involved in the drug underworld, and against money laundering among other serious crimes.

With the Organization of American States, CARICOM and other international bodies backing the passage of the legislation, the President again made a pitch to the opposition to support the bill forthwith in the National Assembly, in the interest of the welfare of the people and of national security.

Yesterday morning, at a separate engagement, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee told media operatives that he is yet to place a call to the relevant authorities investigating the drug ring which was penetrated.

Further, he has not received a report in this regard from the countries involved in the bust.

Minister Rohee told the media that he is waiting on the law enforcement agencies to provide him with the report, but that he was, and always is, happy whenever large amounts of cocaine are seized in any part of the world, since it is consistent with the fight against drug trafficking.

Rohee said that Guyana is happy to be part of the law enforcement exercise, since scores such as the one earlier this week are always welcomed.

He ended by stating that whatever information the international law enforcement agencies have and can make available to Guyana would be very helpful, because if there are links to Guyana, moves would be made to have those connections dismantled in the context of international Cooperation.

Jamaican doctors say foreign object ...

From page 8

with criminal matters and not complaints.

The independent examination of Harding was conducted within the confines of the St Joseph Mercy Hospital in Georgetown, where evidence was found that a “foreign object” had been inserted into the rectum of Colwyn Harding and had resulted in him bleeding internally.

Hughes would not disclose who had performed the examination, but he confirmed that the individual is competent to so do.

Doctors at the GPHC never checked Harding for activity inside the rectum since, according to them, he never informed them that he had been raped, and they allegedly could not make that determination at the time, given the period that had elapsed between occurrence of the incident and their examining him. The young man had been treated at the GPH only for strangulated hernia.

“That (local) expert found that there was active rectal mucosal bleeding on Mr. Harding in the upper rectum. The medical records from the same expert, which were examined by the doctors in Jamaica, specifically said that the doctors who performed the surgeries on Mr. Harding did not examine the rectum or the anus,” Hughes told the press conference.

Harding has returned to Guyana from Jamaica, but is due to return to Jamaica for another surgery in a few weeks’ time. Doctors in Jamaica reportedly found that there was inflammation of the rectum, and the surgeons there were unable to go beyond 25cm with the scope, indicative of an injury that is consistent with abuse.

After encountering that bit, the doctors in Jamaica recommended an even further study of Harding’s intestines before he has his third surgery, which is more than likely to be performed in Jamaica.

Local Government (Amendment) Bill…

Williams commits to relinquishing problematic clauses

By Vanessa Narine DEPUTY Speaker and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) front-bencher Basil Williams, on Monday night, committed to “relinquishing” the problematic clauses in the Local Government (Amendment) Bill which was not assented to by President Donald Ramotar.

Mr. Williams called on the Speaker of the House, Mr. Raphael Trotman, to identify the mechanisms for having the Bill brought back to the National Assembly.

“We are saying that though the Constitution is silent on mechanisms to bring it back to the House, you have the power to bring it back so we can resolve whatever apprehensions the President has,” Williams stated.

According to him, the Bill does not exceed its six-months limit until May 2014 and moves can still be made, in the interest

went far beyond constitutional provisions.

“The Bill was amended to increase the powers of the Commission far beyond the powers granted by the Constitution, rendering it ultra vires the Constitution. Also, various provisions of the Bill were amended by deletion without the insertion of any

AG Anil Nandlall of facilitating local government elections.

The Speaker committed to consulting with the Clerk of Parliament, Mr. Sherlock Isaacs, to address the issue.

The contention of the Head of State is that the Local Government (Amendment) Bill is unconstitutional, as it seeks to vest control of local authorities in the Local Government Commission and remove ministerial responsibility for them.

Deputy Speaker Basil Williams CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall, in a previous interview, had said the Constitution of Guyana establishes a Local Government Commission and stipulates its functions, responsibilities and powers and the amendments to the Bill

mechanism to fill the void created by the deletion,” Nandlall stated.

The AG maintained that the Local Government (Amendment) Bill was not essential for the holding of Local Government Elections.

Local government polls were not held in Guyana since 1994 and, prior to then, in 1970.

Subsequent to 1994, the elections could not be conducted because of the coincidence with the general and regional elections of 1997.

Additionally, Parliament passed an amended Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that voting must be held on or before August 1, 2014.

GRC highlights its work at 20th anniversary exhibition

By Telesha Ramnarine THE Guyana Relief Council (GRC), having celebrated its 20th anniversary last month, yesterday held an exhibition that chronicled the work of the organisation for the past 20 years.

The exposition was open to the public at the National Library, Church Street, Georgetown, and attracted many persons, particularly students, who went to use the library.

Though the anniversary is observed in January, they choose to celebrate it in February, GRC Administrative Officer Lynette Carter told the Guyana Chronicle.

“The library is a public area and that’s why we hold it here.

The exhibition is a means of causing people to become aware that the council exists and it highlights the type of work we do here,” she said.

The GRC gives assistance to persons who have suffered from disasters, such as high winds, floods and fires, and it also seeks to assist persons in difficult circumstances. It has four permanent staff members and two who work on a part-time basis.

The GRC usually writes to businesses seeking donations.

“We can only give what we have and what we have depends on what we get from persons and organisations,” Carter explained.

The regular donors include Sterling Products Limited, Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry, Demerara Mutual Life, Mr. Neville Osman, Namilco, and New Building Society.

Reflecting on her work at the GRC, Carter said: “I am indeed proud to be a member working at the GRC because if you do not have a passion for helping people, you wouldn’t want to do the kind of work.”

CARICOM adds voice to call for passage of AML/CFT Bill THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is the most recent body to appeal for “all necessary” action to ensure that Guyana is compliant with Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) requirements.

In a missive Tuesday, the body said, “CARICOM is concerned at the continuing delay in Guyana’s progress towards implementing recommendations to address deficiencies in its anti-money laundering regime.”

CARICOM stressed the need for all parties involved in the process to take “all necessary” actions, without further delay, to have the required reforms implemented.

The body also bemoaned the consequences of the non-passage of the Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill in the National Assembly.

According to CARICOM, the “adverse impacts” on non-passage of the Bill could result in not only a toll on the local economy but on the CARICOM Region as a whole.

“Any action that reduces the ease or increases the cost of processing international financial or trade transactions will adversely affect trade and financial flows in the Region, retard the regional integration enterprise, limit the opportunities for growth in Guyana and the Region and result in hardship for the people of Guyana,” the statement said.

CARICOM stressed the need for a speedy resolution to allow for enactment of the AML/CFT legislation, in the interest of the people

of Guyana, as well as the people of the Caribbean Community.

MISSED DEADLINE The Parliamentary Special Select Committee, on Monday, failed to conclude its work, as it relates to finalizing the AML/CFT Bill and the Committee’s report.

As a result, Guyana is very likely to miss today’s deadline as set by the Financial Action Task Force(FATF).

FATF’s February meeting, which started on Sunday, concludes today, which is the day Guyana is expected to be up for review.

Guyana, according to a statement from FATF at the end of January, has been listed as the Number One country in the Americas that could be taken on by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) for review and possibly, further sanctions.

According to the statement, Guyana scored 8.125 out of 10 points, the latter being the worst in terms of compliance.

Guyana shares the 8.12 rating with one other country in the list of the jurisdictions in the ICRG-pool in the Africa/ Middle East and Asia/ Pacific regions.

The Select Committee was expected to meet again Tuesday, and the National Assembly, after Monday’s sitting, is not scheduled to meet again until February 27, thereby making passage of the Bill before the review impossible.

The ongoing debate at the Committee level revolves around, not the Bill, but proposals for amendments to the Principal Act, which were unable to be drafted into amendments by the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel, given their late submission by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Committee members.

The amendments seek to change the entire governing apparatus of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); remove the words Attorney-General wherever they appear, and replace them with the acronym, FIU; and vest a police or customs officer with power to seize currency from any person, anywhere in Guyana, if those officers have reason to believe that the currency is the proceeds of criminal activities, or will be used to finance the commission of such activities.

Government members on the Committee contend that there is no disagreement by the collective on the Bill itself and there should not have been a delay in having the Bill being put to the House at Monday’s sitting.

Opposition members, on the other hand, argue that a complete Bill should be put to the National Assembly and are holding out for the amendments to be included – amendments which Government members say are problematic.

An advance in the face of this current impasse is much desired by major local stakeholders, as well as representatives in the diplomatic corps. However, the current position of the work of the Committee leaves much to be desired.(Vanessa Narine)

At passing out of Ensigns...

Commander-in-Chief voices concern at spate of truancy in the army - Contends it shortchanges taxpayers

By Leroy Smith COMMANDER-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Guyana, President Donald Ramotar yesterday registered his concern at the number of Guyana Defence Force ranks who continue to go AWOL (absent without leave), noting that this practice short-changes the taxpayers who have to stand the expense of ensuring they

are trained.

“I am particularly concerned with the number of persons who are listed as AWOL,” the President said, adding: “Those who stay away from duty without authorization are imperilling the future of the army and affecting the security of our country. They are also short-changing the taxpayers of this country whose hard earned tax dollars would have provided

for their training. Being absent without leave also constitutes a serious form of indiscipline which must be rooted out from the military.”

He added that the military service is unlike other jobs where one can just simply opt out as they please. The Head of State was at the time addressing 15 Ensigns of the Standard Officers Course, Number 46, yesterday at Base

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Donald Ramotar, being escorted by Army Chief-of-Staff, Brigadier Mark Phillips to inspect the Guard of Honour

Camp Ayanganna in Georgetown.

Commander-in-Chief Ramotar told the Ensigns that at all times they should make the institution proud of them and they will achieve this with a professional approach. They must always take their assignments with true dedication and service to the nation as it is vital to upholding the integrity of the Guyana Defence Force, he added.

He said further that their willingness to learn is not only of benefit to them but the GDF and the country as a whole and so they ought to grab every new training opportunity.

In the last six years from 2008 to 2013, the Government of Guyana has spent 39 billion, seven hundred million dollars on the Guyana Defence Force and there is still a lot more which has to be spent to ensure that the GDF becomes a modern army as it should be, President Ramotar declared.

He urged the ranks of the GDF to exercise care for the resources, namely the vehicles

and equipment which have all been purchased with taxpayers’ dollars and for them to treat the vehicles as if they were their personal property, to ensure that the capital goods give maximum service.

Mr. Ramotar pointed out that because of the size of the country and population and resources available, there must be the distinct understanding between quantity and quality. He pointed out that

while the traditional role of the army has been to secure and maintain the integrity of the nation’s borders, those days have changed and the army can no longer be restricted to that role alone, given the emerging threats the world is facing today.

Yesterday, the 15 Ensigns were promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenants, with a few of the newly promoted officers representing armed forces outside of Guyana.

TWO men, charged with stealing cable, were each placed on $30,000 bail by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday.

Mohamed Hamid, a 20-year-old mason of Lot 5 Fourth Street, Cummings Lodge, East Coast of Demerara and Marvin Daniels, 33, unemployed (no address given), both pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Particulars of the offence said, on Sunday, February 9, at Kingston, Georgetown, they stole a length of cable, valued $20,500, property of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T).

Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said the facts are as charged and he had no objection to them being granted pre-trial liberty.

Attorney-at-law, Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, representing the duo, requested that both be placed on their own recognisance and further suggested that they be admitted to the Skills and Knowledge for Youth Employment (SKYE) programme.

However, Daniels is over the required age for that scheme and the case was put off to February 17 for report.

Brazilian remanded over armed robberies at Lethem

A BRAZILIAN national who is facing three counts of robbery and one charge of attempting to commit a felony was refused bail Monday by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

Paulo Silva (no address given) was not required to plead to the indictable charges that said on February 5 at Pasifico General Store at Barrack Retreat Street, Lethem, he attempted to commit a felony, that is to say, being armed with a handgun he attempted to rob Yon Fat Chong.

The second offence said on December 4, 2013 at the same place being armed with a gun he robbed Zhou Sheng of one cellular phone and one laptop computer, valued together $188,000.

The third allegation stated that on the same day, being armed with a handgun, he robbed Pasifico General Store of $70,000 Brazilian currency which is equivalent to $7M Guyana dollars, $1,700 US dollars equivalent to $340,000 Guyana dollars, $3M Guyana dollars, and 60 wristwatches, together valued $11.8M, property of Chong and Sheng.

The fourth charge said on December 4, 2013, being armed with a gun he robbed Chong of $310US, $240SRD, and $40,000 Guyana dollars.

Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said on December 4, last about 19:10 hrs the victims were in Pasifico General Store, when the accused along with two others tied up Chong and Sheng and robbed them of the articles mentioned in the particulars. On February 5, around 18:00 hrs he was arrested on his way to Brazil and was positively identified by the victims as the person who committed the crime on December 4.

He said on February 5, Silva along with others attempted to commit a felony and tied up the victims but public-spirited citizens went to their rescue and the men made good their escape.

The prosecutor requested that bail be denied, citing the nature and prevalence of the crime and the fact that a firearm was used in the commission of the offences.

He added that the accused being a Brazilian national, may not return for his trial if he were granted bail.

Attorney-at-law, Peter Hugh Accused Paulo Silva who represented Silva inquired if investigations were completed and if his client was placed on an ID parade, but the prosecutor responded in the negative.

The defence lawyer said it is unfair to say that his client is a flight risk since he is a Brazilian national because many foreigners traverse Lethem to purchase gas and other items. He requested bail, stating that to have his client incarcerated is like having him spending more time than the penalty.

However, bail was refused and the case was transferred to Lethem Court for March 3.

Woman heading to Barbados held at Ogle International with cocaine – court told

SHANTELL Mansfield, a 32-year-old vendor of Lot 191 Laing Avenue, Georgetown, charged with trafficking narcotics was refused bail Monday by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

She pleaded not guilty to the allegation that said on Friday, February 7 at Ogle International Airport, East Coast of Demerara, she had 517 grammes of cocaine for trafficking.

Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said the woman was an outgoing passenger to Barbados when a search was carried out on her luggage at the airport.

During checks the police observed an unusual object on the scanner and a further search revealed the illegal substance, which amounted to the quantum stated in the charge.

The prosecutor objected to the defendant’s pretrial liberty, citing the prevalence and gravity of the offence.

The woman was charged a year ago with a similar crime and the matter was dismissed. However, bail was refused yesterday and the matter was transferred to Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court for February 17.

UG’s Medical Technology Dept and NBTS to host blood drive during Career/Open Day

By Shivanie Sugrim THE University of Guyana’s Department of Medical Technology in collaboration with the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) will be hosting a blood drive on Career/Open Day billed for Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2014, from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

This event will take place in the Conference Room of the Health Science Faculty of the University of Guyana. Thus far, twenty-five persons, who are students, have already pledged to donate blood during the event.

Moreover, this plan was spearheaded by the Department of Medical Technology to aid in displaying career paths relating to their courses.

According to a medical technology student at UG, “the blood bank is always in need of blood and since testing and blood work is a part of Medical Technology, we thought it was essential to have the National Blood Transfusion Service on board.”

However, this sector specifically offers the prospect to join an interesting yet unique career, with the aim of providing precise laboratory results to physicians for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

No witness nor statements…

Causes dismissal of offensive weapon charge MAGISTRATE Judy Latchman, on Tuesday, February 11, dismissed a possession of offensive weapon charge against Abdul Akeem (no address given).

That was because no witness was present in court and nor were police statements in the file.

The defendant had first appeared before Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said, on Friday, February 7, on Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, without lawful authority or reasonable cause, he had a knife.

Before the dismissal, Akeem had been placed on $50,000 bail by the Chief Magistrate and then the case was transferred to Magistrate Latchman for report and fixtures. *****************************************

In fraud case…

$200,000 bail for Deeds Registry employee BIBI Sattaur, 56, of Lot 8 Station Street, Kitty, Georgetown, who is attached to the Deeds Registry of the High Court and charged with fraud, was ordered to lodge $200,000 bail yesterday.

That was after she appeared before Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded not guilty to having, on March 28, 2013, in Georgetown, obtained the sum of $4 M, by falsely pretending to transfer a plot of land to Bibi Akleema Goberdhan, knowing it to be false.

Police Inspector Michal Grant, prosecuting, said the defendant pretended that she was in position to sell the leased land to Goberdhan, made agreement and sold it for the sum mentioned in the particulars of the charge.

He said the virtual complainant, later, found out that she cannot claim the land, since it had already been sold to someone else and she made a report to the police.

Attorney-at-law, Mr. Leslie Sobers said Sattaur strongly denied any agreement with the virtual complainant and requested pre-trial liberty in a reasonable sum.

The lawyer said Sattaur is shocked and amazed at the allegation made against her.

However, she secured the grant on condition that she reports to Corporal Harry at Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Eve Leary, every Friday, at 16:00 hrs, until March 10.

Regional Children’s Mash Compet with flair at the National Cultura

CV Nunes Primary with ‘Masquerade Band Hurricane’

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally EDUCATION Minister, Priya Manickchand, in officially declaring the Regional Children’s Mashramani competition open, yesterday at the National Cultural Centre, related her extreme elation at being at the opening ceremony.

“While we look at our students display their talents, we should note that participating in these activities makes them well rounded individuals, and also helps to grow their confidence,” she declared.

The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited (GBTI), which has been sponsoring the Children’s Mashramani competitions for a number of years, said through a representative that “GBTI has continuously supported such ventures, as we believe that it is important to harness the talents of our children at an early age. It is also (GBTI’s) corporate responsibility to support such events”.

The GBTI representative thanked the Ministry of Education for allowing the Bank, the honour yet again to be sponsors of this event, and said the bank looks forward to continuing its sponsorship of the event in years to come.

Ms Desiree Wyles-Ogle, Head of the Allied Arts Unit, said at the opening ceremony that the children’s Mashramani programme is the largest cultural event for children in Guyana. She iterated that the main objectives of the programme are to promote the expressive arts through a national event; and to encourage the home, community and school to work together in an artistic manner to foster a sense of pride in our national identity.

This year’s participation brought out the cultural traditions and folklore from all the regions of Guyana. With competition being of a high standard, primary and secondary school students push themselves to the very limits of their capabilities to emerge on top of the

proverbial pyramid in this regard.

A hip-hop category was added this year, and it was deemed the most exciting of the lot. The males in the competition dominated this event.

Today the National Cultural Centre will see completion of the Calypso and Dramatic Poetry segments, and the choir presentations and steel pan competitions will be staged on Friday, February 14.

People’s protest sent a clear Eleven to battle message to the police - Rohee for Mash Adult

By Vanessa Narine

THE successes recorded within the last two weeks in addressing the alleged involvement of police ranks in a spate of robberies at Numbers 48 and 49 villages in Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne) have been attributed to the clear message sent by the people’s protest in the area.

Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee, who Tuesday fielded a question in this regard, voiced this opinion at a press conference held at Freedom House on Robb Street, Georgetown.

The question was specifically whether his recommendation for a change of guard at the Number 51 Police Station was the main reason for the favourable response to the situation; and Rohee, in response, said the protest action, which gained national attention, sent a clear message regarding the need for better law enforcement.

He added that the pressure from the people of the two villages

encouraged police ranks to undertake investigations into the matter more diligently and aggressively.

The minister stressed that the police force can never function effectively if ranks are at odds with the people of the communities they serve.

The tipping point for Corentyne residents was an incident that saw four men, armed with shotguns, invading a grocery shop at No. 48 Village, Corentyne, where the occupants: Lalman Ramdeen, 66, and his wife Vimlawattie Ramdeen, 62, were robbed of cash and jewellery.

Rohee subsequently recommended to Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell that he transfers all ranks from the Number 51 Village Police Station.

The Home Affairs Minister was certain that that situation had contributed to the lack of public confidence in the police force.

Calypso crown at Thirst Park tomorrow

By Alex Wayne

THE Mash 2014 Adult Calypso semi-final competition was staged last Saturday at the Bartica Community Centre Ground, and from a talented line-up of 19 contenders, a lucky 10 were shortlisted to battle the reigning monarch, ‘De Professor’ tomorrow at the Banks DIH Thirst Park Tarmac.

The Mash 2014 Adult Calypso finals will be staged with much pomp and fanfare, according to folks at the Mash Secretariat. While the Bartica leg of the competition could be described as sizzling, promoters are promising better things to come on Friday night.

Those in the competition are Derrick Mangal, performing ‘Dem want meh tuh Change’; Karen Bennett, doing ‘Why dem ban de Calypso’; Garfield Campbell, to render ‘Bus Ride’; Roger Hinds, to perform ‘I ain’t singing about That’; Dario Barrow, with ‘De Hamma Man’; Dawn Edwards, with ‘Deh ban Dat’; John Marcus, singing ‘Don’t cry Amelia’; Kenroy Fraser, singing ‘Tell dem leh deh Know’; and reigning Junior Calypso Monarch, Shontelle Gittens, with ‘Chinese Tekking Over’.

The talented Malcolm Corrica (Lord Canary) did not perform at the semi-final leg, since he was hospitalised over the weekend. Reports reaching this newspaper suggest that he has had a leg amputated as an intervention to save his life from a very serious illness.

Edward Perez (Young Fyah) dropped out of the competition because of personal reasons, according to sources.

Those who failed to make the final cut last Saturday were Winfield James, Jon Persaud, Tiny Duggan and Martin Byrnes.

Regional energy officials seek to advance moves towards renewable energy …with 5.02M euro project

A four-year, euro 5.02M project to assist Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states to move towards renewable energy technologies is the focus of discussion over the next two days at the CARICOM Secretariat in Guyana.

Representatives of member states and other key stakeholders in the Community’s energy sector are charting the way forward for a renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) project funded by the German Government through its Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Society for International Cooperation) (GIZ).

The CARICOM-German Government Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance (REETA) Project will explore the use of solar energy, wind power, bio-energy, and hydropower for energy cost savings in many areas, including for businesses and households.

The REETA Project will further seek to build capacity in the private sector for implementing renewable energy and energy saving measures, and will also support the CARICOM Energy Programme and regional organisations involved in sustainable energy development.

Ms. Marina Meuss, the GIZ Resident Director for the Caribbean, pointed out that the REETA project was the outcome of long-term cooperation in energy in the Region.

The project will be administered from the CARICOM Secretariat, and all member states will have an opportunity to identify areas to be supported through the project.

Many CARICOM countries have commenced various sustainable energy efforts, and the REETA Project will build on these, as well as build on the achievements of the Caribbean Renewable Energy Development Programme (CREDP), which was implemented in two phases during the period 2003 to 2013.

In brief remarks on behalf of Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, CARICOM Secretary-General Mr. David Hales, Director of External Trade at the CARICOM Secretariat, said the CREDP was a watershed energy initiative which has produced a significant positive impact in the Region.

Together, the CREDP and REETA projects amount to €15.7M, making the Government of Germany the single largest contributing partner to CARICOM’s sustainable energy development.

Mr. Hales expressed appreciation to the Government and people of Germany for their support given to the Community’s efforts to transform its energy sector.

Art School model remanded on cocaine-in-achar charge - 78-year-old also refused bail

By Geeta Rampersaud

SADIKA Leona Odie, a 38-year-old model of Burrowes School of Art who was charged with drug trafficking was refused bail Monday by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

Odie of Lot 186 Thomas Street, Kitty, Georgetown, pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on Saturday, February 8 at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, East Bank of Demerara, she had 9.274 kilogrammes of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) Prosecutor Oswald Massiah said the defendant was in possession of a U.S. visitor’s visa and

made arrangements with someone in Guyana to take two packages concealed with what appeared to be seeds mixed in achar to the U.S. She was offered a fee of US$10,000 and was also granted US$4,000 in advance with an airline ticket.

Odie had a suitcase and a bag and was asked to come off the aircraft to identify her luggage and a subsequent search yielded the prohibited substance stated in the charge.

Attorney-at-law Paul Fung-a-Fat who represented the defendant said on that day the woman had her seven-year-old child on board, who was taken to her father by CANU officers. He said the child was disowned by her father who took her to the older 18-year-old

sibling. He said she is a single mother of five children.

The defence lawyer requested an early date for commencement of the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) and the case was transferred to Providence Magistrate’s Court for Friday.

Meanwhile, 78-year-old Winston Blades of Lot 121 Meadow Brook Gardens, Georgetown, who was also busted with cocaine in achar was also refused bail in the same court.

He too denied the allegation which said on Saturday, February 8 at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, East Bank of Demerara, he had 10.658 kilogrammes of cocaine.

CANU Prosecutor Massiah said the defendant is a Guyana-born US citizen who has been living in the US since the 1980s and would visit Guyana from time to time. He came back to Guyana last year and during his stay he associated with a woman named Dawn.

Dawn offered to pay his passage and on February 6 she went to his home and made arrangements for him to take the package on February 8. They subsequently took a taxi to the airport and during the checks his bag appeared to be bulky and was weighed. The bag was pierced and among other substances, seeds shaped like nutmeg containing the illegal substance were found.

He was represented by attorney-at-law Mark Waldron, who in a failed effort for bail, said his client was never charged by the police and the prosecutor should not object to bail, since they already highlighted the special reason in the facts. He said the prohibited substance was found inside a package of which Blades is unaware.

The lawyer said the prosecution has to prove that his client is aware or has reasonable knowledge of it, since it is clearly shown that the woman befriended him to transport the illegal substance.

However, bail was refused as no special reason was raised by the defence and the case was transferred to the Providence Magistrate’s Court for Friday also.

Wanted: Dawn Roberts The agency said it wants to question the woman in connection with a cocaine bust at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) last Saturday.

For Thursday February 13, 2014 -14:30hrs For Friday February 14, 2014 -05:00hrs

If you need to get someone’s attention today, consider making an extravagant gesture.

Instead of just buying them a cup of coffee, treat them to a champagne brunch. Instead of lending them some of your tools, get them their own. It’s not about buying or bribing someone’s allegiance -- it’s about doing whatever you can to get them to engage with you. The stars say that all you have to do is get their attention, and then they will be putty in your hands.

Leo July 23 - August 22

Today you’ll need to use your willpower to avoid stepping into a complicated situation that could turn into a trap. This new venture might sound irresistible, but you must try your hardest to resist! Romantically speaking, you might be ready to push things a little further, but you should hold back on this right now. Definitely share your thoughts and feelings with the object of your affections, but be open to the possibility that they may not feel the same -- yet.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

A lot of pressure is being put on you today, but the one who’s pushing so hard is you!

Lately, you’ve been way too hard on yourself, and you should stop and realise that you’re doing your thing in your own way -- and that’s good enough. Part of the stress you’re going through right now may be due to the frenetic pace of your life, so address that issue and cut out what isn’t completely necessary. Give yourself time to get accustomed to the newness around you.

Libra September 23 - October 22

You’ll be so tuned in to the bigger picture today that the little details might slip right by. So today you need to work a little bit harder to catch the minutiae of whatever you’re doing.

For example, if you’re going to get behind the wheel today, pay close attention to signs and directions -- if you’re too busy grooving to the radio, you might miss an important detour or exit. And listen closely when your favourite person updates you on their life -- they’re going to drop a bomb.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

In a work or school situation, if the folks around you are missing something that you think is obvious, speak up. Chances are, you will alert them to something that will improve the situation for everyone. Let their positive reactions boost your ego and give you the confidence to share your thoughts more often. You have a fresh way of thinking -- in certain situations you are downright innovative. Don’t let the fear of their reaction hold you back.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Good luck is on your side today, so get ready for some lovely surprises! If you are planning to travel today, there is a strong chance you could get upgraded -- do not underestimate the power of charm and a well-placed hint. All of this good fortune should continue only through tomorrow, so if you are offered a bit of a risky gamble, you should keep that in mind. Don’t get too carried away! Just enjoy the sunshine that the universe is spreading over your life today.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

It’s time to acknowledge that you cannot change how people make decisions. If you want the people you love to be happy, all you can do is encourage them and remind them that they are entitled to be happy. Ultimately, it is up to them to improve their situations. You can’t do the hard work for them. Even though you love someone and are positive that you know how to help them, you’re seeing things through your own filter, and you may be doing a bit of projecting.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

In a current power struggle, you might be focused on winning, but are you really seeing what’s at stake? Right now it’s not about winning or losing -- it’s about achieving the best possible outcome. And when you realise what the best outcome is, you may realise that it’s time to stop pushing against your opponent and start working with them. Making a compromise will save you a lot of stress, a lot of time and a lot of energy. You are stronger when you team up with someone.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

A recent change in your diet is starting to create some changes in your physical body today, either in terms of your energy level (you’re starting to have more) or in terms of your body (you’re starting to have less). Keep up the good work, but don’t expect such dramatic changes to continue -- plateaus are in your future, and you have to be prepared to persevere through them. You are treating yourself right and showing yourself the kind of care you usually reserve for others.

Barbados Rugby team qualifies for Commonwealth Games

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC)-The Barbados Men’s Rugby Sevens team

has qualified for the XX Commonwealth Games set for Glasgow Scotland in July, following the withdrawal of Nigeria.

Barbados will compete in Group A with 4-time winners New Zealand, host country Scotland and Canada.

Last year the team attended the North America and Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) Sevens Championships with the goal of achieving at least a third place finish.

This position would have qualified them for the 2014 IRB Sevens World Series (SWS) in Hong Kong and the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Scotland.

The Bajans qualified for the SWS but missed the Commonwealth Games due to a third place playoff loss to Trinidad and Tobago.

“The boys are understandably overjoyed to have earned this opportunity, but now the real work starts,” Director of Men’s Sevens, Joe Whipple.

“The teams that we will face in our Group in Scotland are all core teams on the IRB SWS circuit, so they will have the advantage of having

Fortuin belted nine fours and three sixes in a run-a-ball innings as South Africa achieved a 235-run target with five wickets and 39 balls to spare.

Narine got into the act by removing Nikita Miller who was lbw for 3 to leave Jamaica precariously placed on 36 for 8 in the 21st over.

Despite Taylors two fours off Narine in his unbeaten innings, the Jamaicans were bowled out for their lowest total ever in Regional List ‘A’ matches, as they failed to get past the 68 they scored against Barbados at the Kensington Oval in 1982, when Andrew Richardson (0) picked out Lewis at deep point off Emrit.

In their turn at the wicket under brilliant sunshine and in front of a fair-size partisan crowd, T&T saw Simmons loosen the shackles with a straight six off Bernard, followed by a pair of fours from Darren Bravo, after the demise of Lewis and Khan.

Simmons also got a pair of boundaries, off Miller and Taylor before he chopped at one from Taylor onto his stumps at 34 for 3, but the Bravo siblings Dwayne and his younger brother Darren saw their team to victory.

Darren struck Russell for two fours in the 13th over and after being given a life by Bernard off Russell before he had scored, Dwayne Bravo pulled the curtain down on the contest with a four from Miller’s first delivery of the 14th over, as T&T reached 51 for 3, with Darren Bravo unbeaten on 23 and Dwayne Bravo 5.

Cadogan noted that Ansa McAl is known for their commitment to sports and its development and said that it’s not the first time that they are teaming up with the GBA to host events which will put Guyana and the region’s best amateur fighters on centre stage.

The association’s president Steve Ninvalle showered Ansa McAl with praise for their timely sponsorship of something he feels will spark a profound interest in the sport.

Meanwhile, Ninvalle, in updating the local media on preparations for the event, said that presently, all systems are in place for an unforgettable tournament and encouraged persons to show support to the future champions of the sport.

With Guyana set to send representatives to the South American Games in Chile and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, all in this year, Ninvalle said that the tournament will give his association and the coaches a fair chance of assessing their fighters.

We need playing time as a group and to get bigger and fitter to compete at that level.”

The Barbados team has been hard at work for the past three months, training for major tournaments in Tobago, Las Vegas and Hong Kong.

The full squad, including United Kingdom based and Barbados based players, will assemble in mid-March at Loughborough University in the East Midlands for a weeklong training camp en route to the Hong Kong tournament.

Preparations for the 2014 CWG will kick into full gear in late May and three Sevens tournaments have been planned for the UK in May and June, and two more tournaments in July.

“These tournaments are critical to our preparations.” says Whipple.

“They will allow us to see which of our players can compete at the highest levels, who has the commitment to improve all aspects of their game, and how effective our playing style is against the big teams.”

Marsh ton leads Australia fightback in S.Africa

… Smith adds unbeaten 91 on first day

By Mark Gleeson

Thisara Perera strikes with the last ball to seal the win for Sri Lanka.

Perera the hero as Sri Lanka pip Bangladesh

THISARA Perera struck in controversial fashion with the last ball of the game as Sri Lanka edged out Bangladesh by two runs in their Twenty20 international in Chittagong Responding to the tourists’ total of 168 for seven, built on 64 from Kusal Perera, Bangladesh were always there or thereabouts in a thrilling chase.

But Thisara Perera decided it in his side’s favour when he had Anamul Haque (58) caught and bowled off the last delivery of the innings - a high full toss that could easily have been called a no-ball.

It was a frantic end to a chase which had looked relatively serene

by T20 standards until Bangladesh lost their third wicket.

Shamsur Rahman eased his way to 22 before being caught and bowled by Ajantha Mendis, and Tamim Iqbal followed for a relatively sedate 30.

Still Bangladesh looked on course as Shakib Al Hasan launched Thisara Perera for six then struck a couple of fours to take his side past 100 with just two wickets down.

But he was bowled by Nuwan Kulasekara and thereafter it was left to Haque to do as much damage as he could with wickets falling at the other end.

Things seemed to have slipped away from him when 29 runs were needed off the last two overs, but he eked out 12 against Lasith Malinga - helped by a no-ball - then came so close in the final over, hitting three fours and a two, before falling in unusual fashion.

Kusal Perera proved to be the backbone of Sri Lanka’s innings with a brisk and effective 64 as wickets fell all around him.

He took six off the first two balls but Tillakaratne Dilshan fell a few deliveries later, bowled by Mashrafe Mortaza attempting his trademark scoop shot, as the first over set the tone for the innings.

Perera took a particular liking to Sohag Gazi, hammering four successive boundaries in an over that cost 18.

At the other end Dinesh Chandimal lofted a big six and struck two fours to put Sri Lanka on course for a huge total, but when he fell for 18 - holing out off Shakib Al Hasan - Perera could not find an ally, with Kumar Sangakkara and Seekkuge Prasanna falling quickly.

Perera nudged his way to 50 then launched a big six off Farhad Reza, but he fell soon after to a good catch from Anamul Haque on the rope.

Kulasekara hit 32 off 21 to ensure the innings did not crumble but Sri Lanka were still some way short of where they could have been.

PRETORIA, South Africa (Reuters) - Late call-up Shaun Marsh scored an unbeaten century in his first Test in two years to lead a middle-order recovery as Australia closed

at 297 for four on the first day of the first Test against South Africa yesterday.

Marsh, who arrived only on Sunday as an emergency replacement for the injured Shane Watson, was on 122 not out from 232 balls, and will resume

Shaun Marsh makes his second Test century, as he and Smith extend their unbroken partnership to 199 to make it Australia’s day.

Arsenal and United draw, Liverpool and Spurs win

By Mike Collett LONDON, England (Reuters) - Arsenal squandered the chance to return to the top of the Premier League when they failed to break down Manchester United in a goalless stalemate at the Emirates Stadium yesterday.

The home side had the better chances against a listless United but their failure to win left Chelsea top on 57 points, one clear of Arsenal with 12 matches to play.

Manchester City stayed third on 54 points and have a game in hand after their home fixture with Sunderland was postponed because of dangerously strong winds.

Liverpool are fourth on 53 points, a Steven Gerrard penalty in stoppage time giving them a 3-2 win at bottom of the table Fulham who twice led.

Tottenham Hotspur are fifth, three points behind Liverpool, after a superb 4-0 win at Newcastle United following two goals from Emmanuel Adebayor and one each by Paulinho and Nacer Chadli.

In the other match to survive the weather Stoke City drew 1-1 with Swansea City at the Britannia Stadium.

The storms battering Britain not only claimed Manchester City’s game but also Everton’s clash with Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.

at SuperSport Park today with Steven Smith, unbeaten on 91.

The pair put on an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership of 199 to steady the tourists, who had been 98-4 just after lunch.

Marsh, beset by injury problems and a lack of runs over the past year, was something of a gamble by the Australian selectors, but after offering a difficult catch on 12, he saw off South Africa’s vaunted attack on a piping hot day.

It was his second Test century, after his first on debut against Sri Lanka in 2011.

Smith provided ample backing, matching Marsh with 12 fours in his innings.

“It took the rest of us a week to get over the jet lag, so it must have been hard for him being here only three days,” Smith said of Marsh’s effort.

“He was amazing all day, he let the ball come into his areas and then capitalised on it.

“We knew it would be tough initially but it has turned into a good wicket and there are now a couple of cracks developing.

So we will want to get a big first-innings total and then hope the cracks begin to play a part in the game.”

4 12 27 122 23 91

The pair pushed the run rate up considerably after an uneasy start for the tourists, who were 83 for three at lunch then lost captain Michael Clarke soon after.

Clarke was caught at deep fine-leg off a short delivery from Dale Steyn for 23 as the much-anticipated clash between the highly rated batsman and bowler went Steyn’s way. But it was one of few highlights for the quicks on a fast track.

Early on it looked as if South African captain Graeme Smith had made the right decision by asking Australia to bat, but by the end of the day that was in the balance. He had admitted at the toss he was uncertain.

After a fast start from Australia, South Africa removed both openers quickly to leave the tourists on 24-2.

First David Warner (12) chopped a Steyn delivery on to his stumps, before Chris Rogers (four) was brilliantly caught by a diving JP Duminy at short leg off a rising Morne Morkel ball that rapped him on the gloves.

Debutant Alex Doolan (27) was out 15 minutes before lunch, caught at mid-wicket

by Robin Peterson as he tried to pull Ryan McLaren to the on-side.

South Africa’s best bowling return came from Steyn, with two wickets for 54.

Fraser and Collingwood back in England fold LONDON, England (Reuters) - Former Test players Angus Fraser and Paul Collingwood have been brought back into the England fold as a selector and coach respectively.

Fraser is to work alongside James Whitaker and Ashley Giles on the three-man selection panel while Collingwood will join the backroom staff for the forthcoming limited-overs tour to West Indies and the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh.

Former seam bowler Fraser, who played 46 Tests and 42 oneday matches for his country, will combine his England duties with his role as Middlesex’s director of cricket.

“I am chuffed to be involved and am looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead,” the 48-year-old told Sky Sports television.

“Despite the doom and gloom after this winter’s Ashes I believe it’s a really exciting time to be involved in the England setup,” said Fraser, referring to Australia’s 5-0 Test series victory.

Former England batsman Collingwood, 37, who played 68 Tests, 197 one-dayers and 35 Twenty20s, will combine his temporary international commitments with his playing role as captain of Durham.

Paul Downton, managing director of England cricket, said: “I am delighted Paul has agreed to join the coaching staff for the trips to the West Indies and Bangladesh.

ANGUS FRASER “He was an outstanding performer for England and proved a successful captain in Twenty20 cricket and the county game.”

Ex-England batsman Pietersen bought by Delhi for £880k KEVIN Pietersen has been bought by the Delhi Daredevils for £880 000 (90 million rupees) in the Indian Premier League auction in Bangalore.

The 33-year-old Surrey batsman, who had been expected to fetch a higher price, is available for the full tournament after being discarded by England.

Pietersen’s was the third highest price on the first day of auctions.

India’s Yuvraj Singh was bought for a larger sum £1.37M (140 million rupees) - by Royal Challengers Bangalore.

A total of 514 players will be up for sale for the seventh edition of the IPL. Pietersen played last season for the Delhi side, but they initially chose not to retain him because of his expected international commitments.

Pietersen was the only cur-

rent or former England international to sell on the first day of this two-day auction.

England players Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Jade Dernbach, Craig Kieswetter, Luke Wright, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Rikki Clarke and Simon Jones failed to sell. They will go under the hammer again tomorrow in Bangalore.

Each franchise has a spending cap of £5.87M (600 million rupees).

This year, players are being bought in Indian rupees instead of U.S. dollars for the first time.

Other players bought in the first round of auction yesterday included Australia’s Mitchell Johnson for £640 000 (65 million rupees) by Kings XI Punjab and David Warner for £540 000 (55 million rupees) by Sunrisers Hyderabad; South Africa’s Jacques Kallis for £540 000 by Kolkata Knight Riders; and India’s

Virender Sehwag for £310 000 (32 million rupees) by Kings XI Punjab.

The current record paid for a single player was set in 2011, when Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir was signed for £1.47M, ($2.4M).

The IPL starts in April, but while the amount available for player salaries has trebled since the league began in 2008, profits of the teams have not kept pace The tournament has also been affected by allegations of corruption with a top cricket official recently found guilty of illegally passing on information to bookmakers, the BBC’s Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says.

The seventh edition of the 20-over tournament, which features eight teams, mixes floodlit cricket with Bollywood glitz and high-profile corporate sponsorship and runs from April 8 to May 30.

Any England players on central or incremental contracts who are selected for the home limited-overs series against Sri Lanka starting on May 20, must be back in the UK by May 13.

No such restrictions will apply to Pietersen after he was released from his central contract following England’s 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia.

The England and Wales Cricket Board said on Sunday that it had discarded Pietersen because it wanted an England team based on “trust” with all players “pulling in the same direction”.

Pietersen, who signed a new contract on Monday to play county cricket for Surrey, has played 21 IPL matches for either the Bangalore Royal Chargers or Delhi Daredevils, but missed last season’s competition through injury.

Kevin Pietersen’s is the third highest price on the first day of auctions.

Slingerz FC signs Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams, revamps roster for 2014 season

JUST a year ago, one East Bank Essequibo businessman assembled some of the best football players in Guyana, with the aim of one day having the country’s number one team and though that title still respectfully belongs to Alpha United, Slingerz Football Club enjoyed a fruitful inauguration into Guyana’s football arena.

The pinnacle of the club’s accomplishments for 2013 was winning the prestigious Georgetown Football Association (GFA)/ Banks Beer Cup, following a 3-2 win over Santos in the final.

Added to that, the club’s only defeat since their registration under the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) came at the hands of Alpha United last February.

The ‘Hammers’, owned by Odinga Lumumba, Presidential Adviser on Youth Empowerment, clinched a 1-0 win in the Mayor’s Cup Final and then defeated the ‘West Side’ team 4-2 in the final of the Goal for Gold tournament.

They competed in five tournaments, winning three and finishing runners-up in two; a statistic that the general manager Colin ‘BL’ Aaron is happy about.

“If you look back at football in Guyana, I don’t think there’s any other club who can boast that in their first year, they were able to have that amount of success. So Slingerz FC is happy.

We’re not satisfied because in sports, everyone’s aim is to be the best at what they do and as such, we will going all out to ensure that happens,” Aaron said.

Looking ahead, the club made eight new signings with the acquisition of National striker Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams being the most notable.

Abrams was acquired from Slingerz FC’s arch rivals Alpha United and the ambidextrous striker, according the club’s general manager, will certainly be an asset to the team.

“I think every coach will also love to have a player like ‘Awo’ on his side. He brings with him a wealth of experience. You find many forwards have played for this country at every level. He came from a top club in the Caribbean, and so he knows what it means to play hard and to win titles.”

Domanique Babb (Milerock), John Waldron (Silver Shattas), Deon Charter (Eagles United), Lennox Allicock (Vasco), Dextroy Adams (Young Achievers) Leroy Pedro (Western Tigers) and Jamal Harvey (Uitvlugt United) are the other new players who will now don the Slingerz uniform.

“This is a team that we believe will be successful this season and will give us that competitive edge. We came out with a bang and so the club and its players are always in a situation where we have to perform at our best because that’s what persons are expecting of us. We have an obligation to the people who support us. Things can only get better for us from this stage onwards,” Aaron said.

Asked if the exit of former captain Dwain Jacobs is seen as a major blow to the team, Aaron said, “Jacobs is a great player and played an important role in our being in the position we’re in presently, but his leaving didn’t put a damper on us in anyway.

The players all play specific roles and as such, collectively, we were able to achieve some of our objectives for last year, but it is never about no one man getting things done. But we wish him well.”

Second NAGICO Super50 semi-final

Malta Supreme Guyana ready to take on Barbados today

By Calvin Roberts in Trinidad and Tobago (Compliments of Carib Beer, Regal Stationery, Wartsila, Romaine Car Wash and GT&T) DESPITE suffering a 10-run loss to Jamaica in their final preliminary round match of this year’s West Indies Cricket Board NAGICO Super50 tournament last Saturday, Malta Supreme Guyana are brimming with confidence when they face Barbados in their semifinal encounter at the Queen’s Park Oval this afternoon.

The Christopher Barnwell-led team had an arduous net session at the venue yesterday, while Trinidad and Tobago were facing the Jamaicans in the first semifinal, and despite a few players being stricken by the flu bug, there is still that air of confidence.

Prior to today’s meeting, the two sides met on 33 occasions, with Guyana coming out on top 16 times, while two were abandoned and one washed out, with Barbados taking the other 14 matches, their last victory coming in last year’s Regional Super50 tournament, when they defeated Guyana by five wickets at the Kensington Oval.

The Guyanese, who last won a Regional Super50 tournament nine years ago, when Shivnarine Chanderpaul led them to the WICB KFC Cup with a victory over Barbados in the final, placed second in their group matches to Jamaica, entering today’s contest with a net run rate of +0.840 in comparison to Barbados’ +1.051, which saw them top their group over the host nation.

A look at today’s Malta Supreme Guyana lineup shows the tournament’s leading run-scorer to date Ramnaresh Sarwan with 151 runs from 2 matches and Chanderpaul who is third on the list seven runs behind Sarwan, Chanderpaul will start the batting attack alongside a temperamental Trevon Griffith, followed by Sarwan at three, with Leon Johnson, Narsingh Deonarine, who is yet to come to the fore with the bat in this tournament,t and Barnwell following.

They will be supported by Assad Fudadin, Royston Crandon, Anthony Bramble, Devendra Bishoo, Veerasammy Permaul, Paul Wintz and Ronsford Beaton, who have all made meaningful contributions to the team so far.

To date, both Beaton and Wintz have put in yeoman service with both new balls for Malta Supreme Guyana, with Beaton claiming seven victims and Wintz four, while Barnwell and Fudadin have offered valuable support with their steady medium pace. The spinners, led by Permaul and Bishoo, with good support from Deonarine and Crandon, have also contributed to the team’s achievements.

Jonathan Carter had the distinct privilege of scoring the first ton of the tournament, 109 against Trinidad and Tobago in the first round and even though he scored three more runs after the ton, he still leads his team’s batting with an aggregate of 112 runs at an average of 56.00.

Ronsford Beaton celebrates one of his wickets when Malta Supreme Guyana played Windward Islands in their second preliminary round match.

Dwayne Smith, their pugnacious opener has 88 runs with a top score of 83 also against Trinidad, but no other batsman has aggregated more than 50 runs for the team from the Land of the Flying Fish, with Rashidi Boucher being their next best scorer with 38.

They would be hoping to do much better today, but on a spin-friendly wicket and taking into consideration their susceptibility to the slower bowlers, which was highlighted in the way they laboured to score 104 against the Leeward Islands in their last preliminary round match, it is expected that Malta Supreme Guyana will come away with a comfortable win today and go on to face the host in Saturday’s final.

Joel Wilson and Lennox Abraham will call play in this fixture which can be a humdinger, while Patrick Gustard will handle the television referrals and Kellman Kowlessar will do the duties of fourth official under the astute observance of Michael Ragoonauth, the Match Referee.

CARNIVAL celebrations in the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago will come alive on March 3 and 4 at the Queen’s Park Savannah, but at the Queen’s Park Oval yesterday afternoon, Trinidad and Tobago played mass on Jamaica in their West Indies Cricket Board NAGICO Super50 semifinal encounter.

Winning the toss and opting to bowl first on a spin-friendly wicket, T&T on the back of Ryad Emrit’s 4 for 19 and skipper Dwayne Bravo’s 3 for 10, crushed the Jamaicans for 49 in 24.2 overs, of which Andre McCarthy 16 and Jerome Taylor 13* were the lone batsmen to reach double figures.

In reply, T&T, who finished second to Barbados in their group, lost Evin Lewis (0) and Imran Khan (1) to Taylor (3 for11), before they reached 51 for 3 from 13.1 overs, thanks to Darren Bravo’s match-high 23 and Lendl Simmons’ 21.

Dwayne Bravo, who started the home team’s bowling attack from the Gerry Gomez Media Centre end, gave the fans something to cheer about when he sent back John Campbell (0) and Kenar Lewis (2) within the first four overs.

Ravi Rampaul (2 for 6), joined the wicket-taking act by removing Nkrumah Bonner (1) and later Carlton Baugh (4), even as the skipper sent back Tamar Lambert (0), to leave Jamaica, who defeated Malta Supreme Guyana by 10 runs in their final group match, on 14 for 5 after 10 overs.

Enter bowler Emrit for the home team’s attack alongside Sunil Narine (1 for 13) and when many felt the Jamaicans who were without the services of Christopher Gayle and Marlon Samuels would have capitalised on the change of bowling, it was not to be.

A brilliant catch by Darren Bravo who was stationed at short cover, accounted for David Bernard Jr (1) off Emrit and he was followed by Andre Russell (4) and McCarthy, who up to this time had been the lone batsmen to hit boundaries off a disciplined (PLEASE SEE PAGE 32)
