Dr Luncheon: Forensic Science ‘Lab’ a landmark achievement
THE Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory, an addition to the inventory of national institutions, was an idea crafted by the 2006-2011 Jagdeo-led People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Administration, which today remains the most unparalleled administration in Guyana’s history. So said Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, yesterday at formal commissioning of the laboratory, situated at the University of Guyana Complex. He also noted that the $1.049B investment signals a landmark achievement in the country’s effort against crime and violence. Present at the commissioning were Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee, other Cabinet members, and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Resident Representative Sophie Makonnen. BOOSTING LAW ENFORCEMENT CAPACITY The laboratory is intended to enhance the investigative capacity of the local law enforcement in crime and the prosecution of offenders by providing quality scientific evidence and expert testimony. The construction and outfitting of this facility fall under the Citizen Security Programme (CSP), which concluded on June 30, and was implemented under the Ministry of Home Affairs through a loan agreement between the Government of Guyana and the IDB. The objective of the CSP was to enhance citizens’ security by contributing to the reduction of crime and violence. The programme also targets strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Guyana Police Force (GPF), and also to build safer communities. NATIONAL INSTITUTION “For me, it is an occasion this evening that heralds further evidence of national building, that indeed we can generate a convergence of interest on the local scene regionally, internationally, both bilateral and multilateral, to work in the interest of Guyana in establishing another national institution,” Dr. Luncheon said. “…make no mistake, the Forensic Science Laboratory is an addition, and an addition whose time has come; but an addition, nonetheless, to the inventory of national institutions… and as we leave here today and we recall participating in this event, I think more than anything else is the creation of another national institution,” he said. He highlighted that, after many years of encouragement, commitment and preparation, the country collectively would have, today, given birth to its latest of national institutions, whilst noting the context of this national creation. Dr. Luncheon reminded that it was in the 2006-2011 period that the initiative of the lab was cultivated, whose fruition is now being witnessed. He pointed out that the Forensic Laboratory was not the extent of the creativity and vision that flowed in the period. “That administration in 2006 to 2011 challenged the Guyanese, challenged those who supported developing countries, in transforming Guyana and transforming principally our economy,” Dr. Luncheon said. He recalled as well the 1992 to 2006 administration, and noted that whilst today the country can speak about the investment to the magnitude of the Forensic Science Laboratory, in 1992 to 2006, the emphasis was on investment that pandered to restoration. “We had to build back. We had to put back in place. We had so much to do to take us to the point where we
- in fight against crime, violence are ready to take off,” Dr. Luncheon affirmed. “In that period 2006 to 2011, debt management, debt sustainability and those aspects that allowed us with the greatest amount of credibility to engage in deficit spending, to allow us to cast our horizon wider, to undertake investments that were not heard of, could not be contemplated in 1992, when we were busy and committed totally to restoration,” Dr. Luncheon said. The Head of the Presidential Secretariat said therefore that it was no coincidence that in that period the administration was able to attend to the ‘soft investments’ that are so current and obvious today. He said that this was the most propitious time -- and with the work done prior to 2006 -- to seize the opportunity offered to bring about investments such as citizens’ security and the Forensic Lab. “It is really an index of our perseverance and consistence
formulating a business plan for the laboratory, in order to ensure that, at every stage of its development, it is active and “taking business”. SPECIALISATION The laboratory is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment and highly specialised evidence recording systems that would keep track of all evidence submitted for analysis. The lab will specialise in analysis of toxic substances, narcotic drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, forged documents and biological fluids. Additionally, based on a mandate given by President Donald Ramotar and the Cabinet, the Ministry of Home Affairs has been tasked with the responsibility of introducing some elements of DNA testing. Minister Rohee noted that the Ministry is at present engaged with the IDB in order to see how best to introduce this function. He also paid special recognition to the University of GuyThe new Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory located at the University of Guyana Complex at Turkeyen (Photo by Delano Williams)
that we sowed the seed…and here today we are welcoming the growth of that seed; the development of the laboratory. And as we sit here, I am hoping that you join me in our anticipation that this national institution, it flowers and bear fruit that would be a testimony to all of the input that has been made by so many in giving rise to the creation of another national institution,” Dr. Luncheon stated. The lab is also a signal of Government’s focus on a direction of science and technology in recognition that lack of emphasis on these two subjects is indeed a very awkward way to approach development. “They go hand in hand, and even moreso today, when technological applications fuel development in countries and regions around the world,” Dr. Luncheon said. NO WHITE ELEPHANT Minister Rohee promised that the laboratory will not be a “white elephant”. He noted that the Ministry has been taking steps in addressing this, and has been working with the Director in arriving at not only the clientele, but also towards
ana for providing “neutral grounds” for construction of the laboratory. In return, the university has been allocated a special area in the laboratory to conduct training for its students who are pursuing studies in forensics. IDB Resident Representative Makonnen noted that this was the first forensic laboratory in the Caribbean that the bank has supported. She noted that the capacity and equipment being installed could potentially be utilised by neighbouring countries, which currently access such services through foreign providers. She noted that the IDB is proud to be involved in the project, which should ensure an added capacity to investigate and bring cases, thereby adding enforcement to the rule of law, and successively the capacity of the judiciary to prosecute criminals in the country. She noted that for IDB, citizen security has always been a priority. This complement of a main building comprises two floors totalling 12,000 square feet. The ground floor houses the administrative offices, library and research area, conference room, security monitoring, evidence submission and wash room. The first floor has accommodation to support the lab’s four departments: Chemistry; toxicology; document; and evidence trace. Each of the four departments has six laboratories and an instrument room. The facility also consists of a single floor service building totalling 26,000 square feet.(GINA)

Guyana to explore new, greater avenues of cooperation - at UNASUR/ BRICS Summit in Brazil
GUYANA’S President Donald Ramotar will be joining other Union of South American (UNASUR) Heads of State for a twoday high-level meet, beginning today, with the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) group of emerging industrial nations. The meeting, which is being held in Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil, will see Guyana using the opportunity to establish global economic relations to explore new means of greater cooperation with these member states. “One of the meetings that we have is with UNASUR and the BRICS countries… and I think it’s going to be looking at exploring areas where we can have greater cooperation with our country,” the President told the Government Information Agency (GINA) Sunday. The Fortaleza caucus is the first such meeting between the BRICS and UNASUR, and foremost on its agenda is “Social Inclusion and Sustainable Development”. The conversation will be generally based on the theme, “Inclusive Growth: Sustainable solutions”. According to the President, not only do UNASUR
and the BRICS have a good relationship, but the latter has also indicated that it has plans for the establishment of another developmental bank, which will provide even more opportunities for countries. “If you also have another

such institution, then I think that Third World countries like ours can only benefit from that type of thing,” he said. Guyana has immensely benefited from closer bilateral relations with BRICS nations, especially China and India, primarily in the
Development Bank (CDB) and the World Bank among other institutions, and has thus far managed to maintain a very good relationship with them. This summit is expected to conclude the finalisation of the US$100B New Development Bank (NDB), along
Consultation on draft National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan billed for today THE Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, as the national focal point to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD), will host a National Stakeholder Consultation on the draft version of Guyana’s Third National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) today at Regency Suites/Hotel, Hadfield Street, from 9:00am. The objectives of the Consultation are: * To update on Guyana’s efforts at meeting obligations to the UNCBD. * To present the revised NBSAP. * To seek stakeholders' feedback based on their review of the revised NBSAP. * To seek stakeholder inputs on the implementation of the NBSAP. As an obligation to the CBD, parties are required to revise their Action Plans. Previously, this document was called the National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBAP), however, the current revision includes a strategy. The objective in doing so is to integrate Guyana’s obligations to the CBD into the national development and sectoral planning frameworks through a renewed and participative ‘biodiversity planning’ and strategizing process. The overall goal of the NBSAP is to promote and achieve the conservation of Guyana’s biodiversity, to use its components in a sustainable way and to encourage the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of Guyana’s biodiversity.
with the launching of other much-anticipated initiatives, including a US$100B Contingency Reserve Arrangement (CRA). President Ramotar also disclosed that among issues to be discussed are those that can provide mutual benefits to Guyana and other member states. “We will give our ideas on how we think many of these countries can work better to maximise some of their presence in some of our areas, and we also have issues of mutual benefits to our countries,” he noted. The Head of State empha-
sised that he is eager to meet with the other counterparts who will be present at the meeting. “We have had very good relationships, also with many of these countries in the past and I’m looking forward for the opportunity for meeting the Heads of States of many of the countries that are there,” he said. The BRICS represent almost three billion people in the world’s developing or newly, emerging economies, and has a combined nominal Gross Domestic Product of US$16 Trillion, and an estimated US$4 Trillion in combined foreign reserves.
UNASUR, which was created in 2008, is a multilateral organisation with has membership from 12 of the 13 nations in South America. The relationship between India and Guyana has grown since formal ties were established in 1966 due to promotion of economic interests and the strengthening of cultural ties between the two countries. In 2012, Guyana and China celebrated 40 years of close ties, after establishing diplomatic relations in 1972. Last year, the BRICS Summit was held in Durban, South Africa. (GINA)

As Ukrainian forces advance, Putin plays a double game By David Rohde NEW YORK, (Reuters) - As fighting intensifies in eastern Ukraine, signs are emerging that Russian President Vladimir Putin has adopted a twin strategy: pledge his willingness to support a negotiated settlement, but continue funneling arms to separatist rebels. "Putin in the last several weeks has been playing a dual game," said Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and Brookings Institution senior fellow. "There have been things that suggest that Russia wants to help solve this diplomatically ... But you’ve continued to see evidence that Russians weapons are flowing into Ukraine." After months of bellicose rhetoric, Putin three weeks ago had Russia's parliament revoke his authority to use Russian military force in Ukraine.
Then on Thursday, Putin issued a joint call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande for a ceasefire in Ukraine. The cause of Putin's apparent change in tone is the focus of debate in Washington. Obama administration officials credit American and European sanctions with slowing both Russia's economy and Putin’s efforts to sow chaos in eastern Ukraine. But former U.S. diplomats contend that while two rounds of sanctions have helped, they're not the key factor in blunting Moscow’s designs. The successes of Ukraine's new government and failures of its separatists are the primary cause. "That’s first and foremost because of what the Ukrainians are doing," said Michael McFaul, who until February served as the Obama administration’s ambassador to Mos-
cow and point man on Russia. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, elected in May, has done a surprisingly good job of turning Ukraine's military into a more effective fighting force. Ukraine has received $20 million in American military aid, as well as intelligence and advice. But it is the new government's vetting of troops, decisiveness and willingness to take casualties that have given its military an edge. At the same time, proRussian separatists in eastern Ukraine have done a poor job of generating popular support. Instead of sparking a proRussian popular uprising, they have alienated much of the population in eastern Ukraine. "Separatists have worn out their welcome,” Pifer said. "The population is tired of this." On Monday, Poroshenko accused Russian military officers of fighting alongside sepa-

ratists. A missile that downed a Ukrainian transport plane carrying eight people near the border was probably fired from Russia, Ukrainian officials said. And on Friday, Ukrainian officials said a Grad missile attack that killed 23 Ukrainian soldiers showed that Russian arms are flowing to rebels as well. Russian officials deny supplying or aiding the rebels. The situation remains volatile. Poroshenko and Putin could be drawn into a dangerous tit-for-tat cycle as the fighting intensifies. Tensions rose on Sunday when Russian officials threatened Ukraine with "irreversible consequences" after a Russian citizen was killed by a shell fired across the border from Ukraine. Kiev said the accusation its forces had fired across the border was nonsense and suggested the attack could have been the work of rebels trying to provoke Moscow to intervene on their behalf. The rebels denied they were responsible. Poroshenko’s strong performance since taking office has been a key factor in blunting Moscow, said Eugene Rumer, who served as the

national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia at the U.S. National Intelligence Council from 2010 to January 2014. While offering to hold peace talks, Poroshenko has mounted decisive military action against the separatists, Rumer added. At the same time, Poroshenko has taken a softer line against Putin himself. "I was pleasantly surprised when he spoke out against further sanctions against Russia," said Rumer, now a Russia expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "He was statesmanlike. He was signaling to the Russians that he’s willing to make a deal. And that is significant." WASHINGTON'S ATTENTION DEFICIT Matthew Rojansky, a Russia expert at the Woodrow Wilson Center, cautioned that time may be on Putin's side. He said Washington had a long history of focusing intently on any anti-Moscow uprising, typically known as a "color revolution," and then quickly shifting its attention elsewhere. "The bigger challenge is

not going back to our bad old habit, which is to get very, very excited after color revolutions happen," Rojansky said, "and then completely forget that these countries exist." Putin knows that, he added, and is playing a long game to Washington’s short game. Thomas Graham, who was the National Security Council’s senior director for Russia under President George W. Bush, argued that Putin has never wanted to invade and annex eastern Ukraine. Instead, his goal has been to maintain influence over Ukraine’s government. "I thought all along that the goal really was to have leverage on the government in Kiev," Graham said. "And to ensure at a minimum that it’s not hostile and it’s not moving quickly toward Europe." Pifer, the former ambassador to Ukraine, said there is a danger Poroshenko will be too aggressive militarily. Ukrainian forces re-took Slaviansk, a city of roughly 130,000, earlier this month. But Pifer argued that regaining control of Donetsk – an industrial city of 900,000 where separatists are digging in for a last stand – would be far more difficult. Any military operation that kills large numbers of civilians - or separatists – could shift public opinion against the Ukrainian government. "It’s also important that Poroshenko not overplay his hand," Pifer said. "You don’t want a military operation that turns the population against you." Putin’s embrace of Russian nationalism has created domestic political concerns for him as well, said Andrew Weiss, a Carnegie Endowment expert and former Clinton administration National Security Council official. After unleashing ultra-nationalist Russian groups in eastern Ukraine, Putin is now being accused by right-wing politicians in Moscow of abandoning the separatists. "If they get slaughtered or routed," said Weiss, "there will be a lot of pressure on the Russian government to react."

GECOM reiterates readiness for Local –says ‘fully prepared’ to Government elections go into election mode By Vanessa Narine THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), by means of a detailed missive issued yesterday, has made clear that it is “fully prepared and committed” to move formally into an election mode with immediacy, if and when the Commission is mandated to conduct Local Government Elections. The Commission said,
ticularly to constituencies indicated in the above point. Some constituencies do not have adequate registrants to effectively field adequate lists of candidates; and ● The analysis of the National Register of Registrants and subsequent printing of lists for Local Government Elections require operations that involve the Information Technology Division, which is without key top level and appropriate staff.
some constituency boundaries cut across established divisions and sub- divisions, and field operations are required to effectively allocate existing registrants on the National Register of Registrants to a unique constituency. GECOM said, “The Secretariat has already addressed this issue. A presentation was done to inform the Commission on the way forward with this matter, and the
‘We believe that if these matters are not addressed, they can lead to disfranchisement. It is for these reasons that we reiterate our call for an exercise of caution regarding any declarations and assumptions of GECOM’s readiness’-- GECOM Commissioners “It must be emphasised that GECOM is fully prepared to stage Local Government Elections once a date for Local Government Elections is announced. “Immediately following any such announcement, GECOM can begin the statutory steps required to hold the elections. These statutory prerequisites have been shared with stakeholders, including political parties, the Private Sector Commission, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the international development partners, and other interested parties.” EXPRESSED CONCERNS GECOM’s statement follows a caution statement issued by three of its commissioners who warned against pronouncements on GECOM’s readiness to host elections. “We urge that these calls and declarations be treated with extreme caution,” Commissioners Mohamood Shaw, Dr. Keshav Mangal and Athmaram Mangar said in a joint statement released over the weekend. The three commissioners said they are working with GECOM Chair Dr. Steve Surujbally and the other commissioners to address several operational issues that constitute areas of concern. Among these are constituency boundaries and demarcation issues, since: ● Some constituency boundaries cut across established divisions and sub-divisions, requiring field operations to effectively allocate existing registrants on the National Register of Registrants to a unique constituency; ● The resolution of transfers of numerous electors, par-
The other areas of concern for the commissioners relate to the fact that: ● There are also some key legislative issues, including lacunae in laws which govern Local Government Elections. ● There needs to be a vigorous education programme to inform and educate the populace on the new Local Government Elections system, which comprise a mixture of the Constituency and Proportional Representation models, in which political parties as well as individuals and interested groups may contest the elections. ● The process to compile and analyze five hundred and eighty-five (585) sets of nomination lists resulting in five hundred and eighty-five (585) vetted two-part ballot templates and subsequent printing of ballots will require significant time, effort and resources. “We believe that if these matters are not addressed, they can lead to disfranchisement”, the three commissioners have said. “It is for these (aforesaid) reasons that we reiterate our call for an exercise of caution regarding any declarations and assumptions of GECOM’s readiness,” the commissioners said. But GECOM insists that its job is to manage elections, and it has said that it has gone the further mile to clarify concerns, expressed not only by the three Commissioners but also in sections of the media over deficiencies associated in carrying out its mandate to hold Local Government Elections. A total of nine responses were given to nine noted concerns expressed over the last few months. BOUNDARIES The first concern is that
Commission already gave the go-ahead. “We suggest to those who have raised this issue to specifically identify deficiencies in our demarcation, delineation and delimitation undertakings.” ANALYSIS The second concern is that an analysis of the National Register of Registrants and subsequent printing of lists for Local Government Elections require operations that involve the Information Technology Division, which is without key top-level and appropriate staff. “GECOM has been working without an Information Technology (IT) Manager for quite some time now. This has not prevented the Division from carrying out its functions. In fact, only recently, the current staff of the IT Division has updated the National Register of Registrants with the transactions done during the 6th Cycle of Registration, and the relevant
ID cards have already been printed. “Indeed, the public would have recognised that advertisements inviting applications for IT personnel are abounding in the print media. International development partners have also been approached relative to acquiring the services of an Information Technology and Communication Specialist to Head GECOM’s IT Division,” GECOM said. LEGISLATIVE ISSUES A d d i t i o n a l l y, s o m e GECOM Commissioners stated their concern that there are some key legislative issues, including lacunae in laws that govern Local Government Elections. GECOM said, “The legislative issues (“lacunae in the law”), which are minor and which cannot prevent the elections from being held as they are, have already been identified, and the relevant proposed amendments have already been drafted. This task can easily be completed within the six months’ timeframe for the conduct of elections. The commissioners know this.” VOTER EDUCATION The issue of voter education was also raised as another exercise that the Commission needs to sufficiently address before elections are held. Calls have been made for implementation of a vigorous education programme to inform and educate the populace on the new Local Government Elections system, which comprises a mixture of the Constituency and Proportional Representation models in which political parties as well as individuals and interested groups may contest
the elections. GECOM said, “This concern is especially facetious. Relative to GECOM’s Public Education Programme for Local Government Elections, it is significant to note that, in March 2010, after involving itself in huge amounts of public awareness programmes, GECOM intimated to the Minister of Local Government that the Registers of Voters were completed and certified, and that there were no material impediments for holding LGE (to which, I might add, there was not even a recognition of receipt of our correspondence). Nothing emerged from the Ministry of Local Government relative to a date for LGE. Time, great effort and money were wasted. “As a consequence, GECOM took the deliberate decision to implement an ongoing programme with moderate intensity, publicising information about Local Government Elections with focus being placed initially on the new Local Government Elections’ electoral system. This was preferable to a “stop/start” methodology which could have the inherent possibility to exasperate and disenchant potential voters. “Later, at the appropriate time, the Public Education Strategy will focus in an intensified manner on the processes and procedures associated with the new system - the moment a date is appointed for the Elections.” GECOM’s ongoing Public Education Programme includes the following:● Two panel discussions which were conducted at the NCN Channel 11 Studio were broadcast (pro bono) by (that) Channel for the benefit of viewers in Regions 3, 4 and 5.
‘It must be emphasised that GECOM is fully prepared to stage Local Government Elections once a date for Local Government Elections is announced’ -- GECOM
Recorded copies of both panel discussions were also publicised by the television stations in Regions 2, 6, 7 and 10; and “we will continue to call on all these TV houses to broadcast the content of the panel discussions”. ● 100,000 copies of a brochure titled “Local Government Elections” and featuring several aspects of pertinent information were produced. Copies of this brochure have been dispatched, with the knowledge of the Minister of Local Government, to all of the 71 local authority areas in Guyana for distribution to citiens of the respective areas. In fact, following the finalisation of the boundaries of constituencies within the various local authority areas, we have commenced distributing these brochures at the level of the local authority areas. We have also commenced making thousands of copies to the Parliamentary (and other) political parties for distribution among their constituents. ● Four infomercials about the new system for Local Government Elections and why persons should vote at these elections were publicized on all of the local radio and television stations. We consciously discontinued this exercise, but will reactivate the publication of these infomercials very early within the projected 180-day period. “Currently, GECOM is on the verge of engaging the four local daily newspapers to publish sequential columns titled “Local Government Elections Corner”, which will feature pertinent information about Local Government Elections. Also, the Commission is currently engaged in the process which will lead to the imminent publication, on radio and television, of more pertinent information about the new system for Local Government Elections,” the Commission said.

GUYANA
Women with cojones IT takes great testicular fortitude, which the males throughout both opposition camps seemingly lack, to defend the territorial integrity of one’s country; and that against an envoy of what has been described as the most powerful nation on earth. The males in the PPP/C leadership have, time and again, proven their virility in standing up to adversaries who try to be contemptuous of Guyana’s sovereignty -- as Dr. Cheddi Jagan did against the might of the superpowers and the dictatorship to lead this country out of the bondage of servility, oppression and undemocratic synergies; and again, subsequent to democracy being restored to this nation in 1992, when he spat in the eye of the IMF and their Hoyte-driven draconian conditionalities - which were literally and figuratively emptying the much-depleted rice pots of the Guyanese nation -- by
telling the powerful IMF to put their conditions where the sun ‘does not shine’, and he restored bargaining power to the formerly toothless poodles (under the PNC regime) that the labour movement had been reduced to, while he simultaneously lifted the freeze on public servants’ wages. Again, when former President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo led his lone fight against the powerful European nations to guard the nation’s sovereignty and wrest conditions more beneficial not only to Guyana, but to the entire CARICOM bloc of nations, with his demands for a re-constructed EPA; as well as his several instances of guarding the sanctity of Guyana’s territory even while he formed bi-partisan and multi-national linkages and alliances with formerly adversarial neighbouring states, among a multiplicity of history-making achievements for this country’s glory. And President Donald
Ramotar’s unrelenting refusal to succumb to opposition blackmail and put the nation at risk, even as they held, and continue to hold, this country hostage to the FATF-imposed sanctions. Conversely, the opposition – jointly and severally -- have historically sold this nation to foreign interlopers for their personal fortunes and enhanced self-aggrandizement, as they have recently done, and continue to do, by sucking up to the foreign saboteurs of national peace and socio-economic development who covet the natural resources that Guyana has in abundance, especially our rainforests and potential for oil discovery. The males in the PPP have always stood resolute in the face of threats to Guyana’s social and geo-political demographics; while opposition elements have, conversely, through the corridors of our history, sold Guyana and the rights of her
citizens, beginning with Burnham, to foreign interlopers for the figurative ‘thirty pieces of silver.’ The collective male opposition leaders have historically demonstrated that they are afraid of real women – time and again; women who are not afraid to deal with issues with courage, determination, and forthright speech in defence of home, country and fellow citizens, without buckling, which the males in the opposition always do because of lack of testicular resilience, which makes them collapse in the face of aggression by anyone who violates Guyana’s social and geo-political spaces. Hoyte’s attacks, using voodoo conspiracies (pun intended) against Mrs. Janet Jagan’s presidency, and this most recent fusillade of invectives against Minister Priya Manickchand clearly illus-
trates the use of a poisonous tongue as a weapon of necessary choice against strong females by male opposition leaders, because they lack the necessary wherewithal to stand up like men and defend country, home and fellow citizens, and buckle at crucial times. And that is the main reason why they cannot support strong women, because their testicular fortitude disintegrates at threatening situations; so they resort and revert to verbal abuse and character assassination in efforts to bring women to their knees in front of them, because they cannot stand up to the tasks that necessitate strength and staying power.
That is why Minister Priya Manickchand is being lambasted today, and that is why she was heckled during her gutsy demolition of a violator of her country; because while she recognized the danger of confronting and verbally demolishing a representative of a great superpower, she also had the cojones to tell him, in no uncertain terms, that her home, country, and the integrity of Guyana’s spaces are not open to being compromised; while the opposition males tried and are still trying to bring her to her knees – in face-saving attempts, because they all collapsed in the face of aggression.
Blue Caps is new The great though humble Joe Solomon must not be forgotten arm of PNC WHEN people like Clinton Urling of the seemingly new arm of the PNC, the Blue CAPS, writes letters to you, the question must be asked: The PNC never was ready for LGE, but why are they so ready now? Since the US ambassador become most vocal, all those PNCites have teeth now. It means PNC and the US ambassador knew what is up with GECOM in favour of a PNC victory. I have been saying all along that the Government must hold local government elections, and if the people want to vote for Hammie Green again, then so be it. The PPP would then not find itself in the position it is in at present. Trotman and the PNC see blood, they smell blood, and
they will move in for the kill! Does the PPP know why the PNC does not want to get involved with security? You do not have to be a rocket genius to figure it out, because it is as simple as 1-2-3 or A-B-C. Check the stats on which ethnic crowd is doing the criminal acts; on which ethnic crowd, mostly. One section of the community works very hard and saves its money for a better future for self and family, but it appears it is working to save the money for criminals, who just come in with guns and take it all. If you are not safe in your own home, then where else can you be safe? They see blood, they smell blood, then they are moving in for the kill now, because they know they have
the backing of the USA. It is too late now for the PPP to go after terrorists, because all the reports will reach the USA about extra-judicial killings and racism. PPP supporters will protest the best way they know how, and that is to continue to move out of Guyana with their loved ones. It is like how the whites in America riot: They just pack their traps and move, leaving it all to the criminal elements in their neighbourhoods, because if they defend themselves they are labelled racists. Criminality is the bread and butter of opposition parties in their lust to get back into power. TED KING
THE Kaieteur News of 8th July, 2014 reported extensively on the commissioning of the $91M floodlights project at the Albion Sports Complex in Berbice. Included in that comprehensive report was an appropriate acknowledgement of the nodal role played by the sugar industry in the development of cricket in Guyana, as well as the exemplary performances of immortal Berbice greats. Among those named were John Trim, Rohan Kanhai, Alvin Kallicharran and Roy Fredericks. Conspicuous by its absence was the name of Joe Solomon, that other great (if not as shining) son of Port Mourant, Berbice, Guyana and the West Indies and the cricketing world at large. Joe Solomon’s exploits
in the field are the stuff of legends. Who can ever forget his last-ball throw from the boundary that resulted in a run-out and the first ever tied test when the West Indies played Australia in 1959? What must never be forgotten is Joe Solomon’s role as an indefatigable trainer and coach, which benefited so many budding cricketers in Berbice and Guyana. As successive former Human Resources Directors in GuySuCo, we can safely argue that the reason Joe Solomon would be regarded as a memorable West Indian, insofar as the sugar industry is concerned, is his return -- in the early 1990s -- as adviser and cricket coach, roles in which he performed outstandingly and which he expanded to impact positive-
ly on Guyana’s cricket as a whole, including not only at the level of national selector, but also the actual development of individual cricketers and literally the grounds on which they played. In the final analysis, he emerged, in this context, from the earlier sequencing of the triumvirate of Kanhai, Butcher and Solomon to become the front-runner in contribution to Berbice cricket development after returning from the actual playing field. Butcher incidentally made his contribution to cricket development in the once developed Linden community. NOWRANG PERSAUD & EBJ

Deputy Mayor and Deputy Town Clerk clash –Chase-Green asks ‘wha wrong with this mad woman?’ By Ravin Singh AFTER Acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba departed from City Hall’s statutory meeting, due to unforeseen circumstances yesterday, Deputy Town Clerk Sharon Harry-Munroe was met with hostility by Deputy Mayor Patricia ChaseGreen. The latter asked of no one in particular, “Wha wrong with this mad woman,” referring to Munroe after they couldn’t agree on some issues. The meeting, which was held yesterday in the Chambers of City Hall, commenced
with the correcting of minutes after which announcements were made by Mayor Hamilton Green. This was followed by a request by councillor Ranwell Jordan who appealed for the standing orders to be suspended, subsequently listing several issues he wanted the Council to examine. One such issue highlighted by him was that of a new Chairman of the Finance Committee. Jordan said that at an Extraordinary meeting on May 6th, Eon Andrews was voted as a replacement in place of Junior Garrett as the Chairman of the Finance Committee. He stressed that two
motions were passed which included Royston King as a replacement for acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba and the motion to appoint Andrews as the Finance Committee Chairman. After his contribution, councillor Kamla Devi-Ross rose to her feet explaining that the Extraordinary meeting was unlawful since the agenda was never prepared by the Town Clerk, the acting Town Clerk was absent and so no minutes were taken by her. Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green interjected, however, stressing that the motion was passed and An-
drews was recommended as the best candidate to replace Garrett. Another councillor, Hector Stoute, rose at this time to reiterate the call for the replacement but was advised by the Deputy Town Clerk that the motion was not included in the day’s agenda and as such, if they so requested, it can be addressed at the next statutory meeting. Harry-Munroe stressed that the new issues which were surfacing at yesterday’s meeting were issues which could not be addressed because the motions were not included in the agenda. She
also supported Devi-Ross’ comment contending that the Extraordinary meeting which saw discussions being put forward for Garrett to be replaced by Andrews was an unlawful one and the propositions were never tabled at the following statutory meeting. Ian Andrews then took the spotlight and related to Munroe that he is not in need of the position but he was requested by members of the council who have the confidence in him to Chair the committee and as such it is not an issue for him. He also labelled her as being a stranger to the truth after his recollection of the events differed from her. As Munroe continued to justify the position in not
GECOM reiterates readiness for... mission, GECOM, with all of its experience and proven track record, is committed to carrying out its duties without interference and hindrances. “It is all a matter of timing…we know what we are about, and do not need unnecessary and unhelpful humbug,” GECOM has said.
PLACEMENT ON VOTERS LIST There was also the contention that every eligible voter will not be correctly placed on his/her constituency list. GECOM has said that it has already engaged itself with the preliminary and administrative placement of eligible electors in constituencies. However, the Commission pointed out that the placement of every eligible voter within their respective constituencies is a statutory task which must be undertaken during the conduct of the mandatory Claims and Objections exercise for such elections. “Yet, on the periphery, spokespersons for a political party are insinuating that members of the Commission are somehow involved in some collusion to exclude eligible persons from any voters’ list to be used for Local Government Elections,” the Commission said. GROUND WORK Another contention raised was that there was not enough ground work and consultations done to ascertain boundaries countrywide. GECOM has since made it clear that it did in fact “walk’ the ground to determine the boundaries for the 585 constituencies within all of the existing Local Authority Areas, and it has carried out the associated physical verification within the communities. All this was done with the absolute involvement of party scrutineers, the Commission said.
ELIGIBLE VOTERS GECOM’s thoroughness relative to the assurance that every eligible voter will be correctly placed on his/her constituency list has also been a bone of contention. The Commission stated that GECOM had already verified the residency status of electors when they had applied for registration. It said, “This is always done in the presence of party scrutineers, who sign on the ‘Application for Registration Form’ attesting to their observation that the verification process was properly done. Consequently, there is no need for GECOM to do any further verification of the residency status of the registrant/ elector.” The Commission said that placement of electors within the respective constituencies is an internal task which would be done at the appropriate time. GECOM said, “Prior to the Claims and Objections exercise for Local Government Elections, preliminary Voters’ Lists will be produced and posted for public scrutiny at conspicuous points within all of the 585 constituencies. “This would be carried out so that all stakeholders, especially electors, can check for the accuracy of their respective listings as well as that of others. “Should any incorrectness pertaining to their particulars be observed, the relevant elector can and should apply to GECOM, during the Claims and Objections exercise, for the necessary correction(s) to be made. “On the other hand, electors could also object, again during the Claims and Objections exercise, to the inclusion of any elector whom they have reason to believe should not be on the list.” Additionally, as is the norm, copies of the entire voters’ list will be shared with
the political parties contesting the elections for scrutiny. “The principal reason for undertaking the foregoing is for all stakeholders, including the contesting political parties, to have confidence in the Final Voters’ List produced for the elections,” GECOM said.
TRANSFERS Commissioners also believe that the resolution of transfers of numerous electors, particularly to constituencies, must be addressed with dispatch, as some constituencies do not have adequate registrants to effectively field adequate lists of candidates. GECOM said, “It (GECOM) cannot arbitrarily transfer registrants from one constituency to another to facilitate adequacy pertaining to the number of signatories that are required to support candidacy. “Also, the legal provisions determine the number of signatories that are required to support candidacy, not GECOM. We have to work with the legal provisions. “The placement of every eligible voter within his/her respective constituency is a statutory task which will be undertaken during the 180day preparations for Local Government Elections, prior to the conduct of the mandatory Claims and Objections exercise for such elections.” On the same issues, another concern expressed is that thousands of persons are in need of being transferred from the original addresses where they were registered to new addresses to which they have since moved. GECOM stressed that it has already provided the opportunity for the affected registrants to apply for transfers during the sixth cycle of registration. “Persons actually had three months to apply for
transfers,” the Commission said, adding that during the sixth cycle of continuous registration, GECOM had responded to several requests from the chief scrutineer of a complaining party for mobile units to go into communities where, reportedly, there were numerous persons who were needful of applying for transfers. “In this regard, notwithstanding the provision of information at grass roots level prior to the visits, the response was far less that we had expected, based on the information given by that party’s chief scrutineer,” the Commission said. GECOM added that it will be conducting a Claims and Objections exercise during August this year to produce an Official List of Electors (OLE) as a sequel to the sixth Cycle of Continuous Registration. The Parliamentary political parties have been informed of this exercise via a letter dated June 9, 2014. During this exercise, the opportunity will be provided across Guyana for all persons who have changed their addresses since they were registered to apply for transfers. This feature of the exercise would be widely publicised, as would the others. The Commission said, “GECOM takes the opportunity to assure all concerned that it is aware that, especially due to the establishment of new housing schemes, there is the need for the transfer of persons who have taken up residence in such areas after they were registered by GECOM previously as having a residency address at some other location. “Accordingly, heavy emphasis will be placed on this category of persons during the imminent Claims and Objections exercise through the publication of appropriate messages via every available media.” It stated that supportive
tabling the motion at the statutory meeting, the Deputy Mayor, glancing at the public domain uttered in disgust “wa wrong with this mad woman?” She then continued to lead a verbal attack on the Deputy Town Clerk, admonishing that she (Chase-Green) is still “above” the Deputy Town Clerk, hinting that she should not be challenged on the issue. At this point, Mayor Green then requested her to take her seat. Munroe continued in her explanation but was forced to stop speaking after councillor Jordan rose to his feet once more, urging the Mayor “Item two Sir.”
From page 5
action by the political parties in encouraging its relevant constituents to make use of the opportunity to apply for transfers would contribute significantly in addressing concerns pertaining to transfers. The Commission said, “As far as GECOM is concerned, there is no problem, nor is one envisaged, over the placement of eligible voters on the relative lists at the constituency level. “GECOM has been fulfilling its mandate towards ensuring that no voter is disenfranchised by providing opportunities for eligible persons to apply for registration, name change, corrections and transfers throughout Guyana.” WORK PLAN AND FUNDING GECOM added that it has developed its work plan, which puts the timeframe for the conduct of the elections at 180 days commencing from the appointment of a date by Order given by the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development for the holding of Local Government Elections (LGE). According to the Commission, the 180-day timeframe has nothing to do with GECOM’s “preparedness”, as this timeframe is largely a result of the sequential statutory requirements and other prerequisite activities for the conduct of the elections. GECOM’s Work Plan for Local Government Elections, which is being reviewed constantly, contains several major statutory and administrative tasks - some of which will be implemented concurrently. For example, the acquisition of non-sensitive election materials, advertising/training/ evaluation/ hiring of Election Day workers, Public Education, Claims and Objections, etc. Each of these activities can be undertaken concomitant-
ly, and indeed are currently being addressed. “It is important to note that these Plans (with changes as they emerge) had been developed and were in the possession of the Commission since the approval by Parliament of the new system for Local Government Elections,” the Commission said. Additionally, GECOM was emphatic in stressed that the work plan can only be implemented providing that GECOM’s needs, viz., financial resources, are met in a timely manner. It said, “It is worthy of note that, year after year, GECOM had consistently been presenting Local Government Election budgets, and Parliament had always approved funds for the conducting of Local Government Elections. “The Commission has again budgeted for the conduct of Local Government Elections 2014; and again, Parliament did give its approval. “However, funds specifically budgeted for LGE cannot become available to GECOM, for it to earnestly engage itself with specific activities associated with the conduct of Local Government Elections, until the elections are called by the Order of the Minister. Only after this procedure has been realised can Programme II funds be activated by the Ministry of Finance, in accordance with the rules delineated in the Integrated Fiscal Management and Accountability Act No 20 of 2003.” Relative to the setting of a date for the conduct of Local Government Elections, GECOM is routinely consulted by the Minister responsible. Also, Section 35 of the Local Authorities (Elections) Act, Chapter 28:03 provides that “an election shall be held on such a day as the Minister may by order appoint.”

Businessman shoots gun-toting assailant dead -Youngster’s Facebook profile shows he liked living in the fast lane
Part of the crowd which gathered to get a close-up of the dead bandit By Leroy Smith AGRICOLA resident Kevin Fields, 21, was fatally shot yesterday by a businessman after he snatched a bag with some $1.7M from him in a Sheriff Street auto spares store and attempted to flee. The Guyana Chronicle understands that the Titus Street, Agricola resident and an accomplice had trailed the businessman from another location in the city, and after the man entered Ramchand Auto Spares on Sheriff Street to make a purchase he followed him there. This publication was informed that the bandit and his accomplice had arrived on a Honda CG motorcycle and parked to the south over Duncan Street. According to owner of the Sheriff Street business, Ramchand Ragbeer, he was in his office when he heard someone shouting for “Thief!” He
said that suddenly he saw a young man dashing out of the store with the businessman in hot pursuit. As the bandit made his way to his accomplice on the waiting motorcycle and spotted the robbery victim racing after him, he fired a shot but the man, a licensed firearm holder, returned fire, hitting him to the head. His motorcycle accomplice then sped away from the scene, and according to information reaching this newspaper returned later and stood at a distance as the crowd gathered. This, however, was not confirmed by the police. Ramchand told the Guyana Chronicle that the robbery victim is a regular customer at his store and would usually make large purchases. He said that prior to visiting his store, the man had made a purchase from another well-established store in the city. The store owner said that in the past he has had inci-
Two of Kevin’s preferred weapons. The one to the right has a striking resemblance the one he used yesterday dents of robbery occurring outside of the store but not with the use of firearms. He praised the robbery victim for being able to retaliate and defend himself. And as word of the shooting made the rounds yesterday, several persons gathered at the scene to get a glimpse of the young man on the ground next to the gun he used in his robbery attack.

The police in a press release yesterday announced that when the bandit was shot they were able to recover $1.7M from him along with an unlicensed .32 Taurus revolver with five rounds and a spent shell. Meanwhile as work of the shooting got around and the identity of the bandit was made known, this publication
visited the Facebook page of the young man and discovered that he seemingly lived a life of crime and had several associates. Among some of the photographs posted on his Facebook page are images of him lying on a bed with more than five hundred thousand dollars in cash along with what appears to be a firearm licence and a Republic Bank ATM card. Other photographs showed five different firearms with their magazines lying on what appeared to be

Looking at the Facebook page of 21 year old Kevin Fields, he proved to be living a lavish life with women, liquor, guns and money. His only sober photo was a photograph of him offering comfort to the mother of shot Agricola teen Shaquille Grant who was killed by the police in 2012.
Rohee raps APNU Chief Whip --over position on GECOM’s election readiness
PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee By Vanessa Narine GENERAL SECRETARY of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Clement Rohee yesterday told the Guyana Chronicle that the Party stands by the advice of its Commissioners on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) over its readiness for local government elections.
And he flayed the Chief Whip and Chief Scrutineer of A Partnership of National Unity (APNU) for her contention that the Party is sidestepping announcements by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), signalling its readiness to hold Local Government Elections. Ally, according to media reports, said, “In no less a person than the Chairman of GECOM (Dr. Steve Surujbally) intimated that GECOM was ready for local government elections. I don’t understand how the PPP and its Commissioners could come out saying GECOM is not ready.” Rohee retorted that Ally is clearly “barking up the wrong
tree” and ought to recognise that the party’s position is based on advice from its Commissioners. “She is either ignoring the advice of her Commissioners or they are giving her advice which she has accepted. As far as the PPP is concerned, we are standing by what our Commissioners have told us,” he said. DEFINITION OF READINESS The General-Secretary added that the definition of ‘readiness’ may mean something else for APNU and GECOM, but in the party’s view, the definition of readiness is clear.
He said, “Readiness for the PPP means we have a final voter’s list and the PPP is satisfied that all the arrangements are in place at the Commission, all vacancies are filled, all the transfers are made and people are on their respective lists, among other things. “We want for there to be a level of comfort with the entire process. Right now that level of comfort is not there.” According to him, the party has taken note of GECOM’s statement, which was issued yesterday, to clarify its position on the hosting of local government elections. However, he maintained that the party stands by the
advice of its Commissioners. “If the Commission is really ready, what do you need six months for? I stand by what I am saying. Our definition of readiness does not mean you need six months,” Rohee said. GECOM has said that it has developed its work plan, which puts the timeframe for the conduct of the elections at 180 days commencing from the appointment of a date, by Order given by the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, for the holding of Local Government Elections (LGE). According to the Commission, the 180-days timeframe has nothing to do with GECOM’s “preparedness” as this timeframe is largely a result of the sequential statutory requirements and other
prerequisite activities for the conduct of the elections. GECOM’s Work Plan for Local Government Elections, which is being reviewed constantly, contains several major statutory and administrative tasks some of which will be implemented concurrently, e.g. the acquisition of non-sensitive election materials, advertising/training/evaluation/hiring of Election Day workers, Public Education, Claims and Objections, etc. Each of these activities can be undertaken concomitantly and indeed are currently being addressed.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana…
Vanessa Kissoon now saying she’s being targeted - Because she refused to lie to the nation
OLD Kai is not one bit surprised at the latest revelation to come out from the ongoing feud between David Granger and Vanessa Kissoon. According to the media, a group of PNC/R members and leaders in Region 10 recently accused David Granger of ‘displaying a pattern of unacceptable behaviour towards Kissoon dating back to 2012, when she refused to go to the media and publicly deny that there was an agreement between government and APNU for electricity rates to be increased.’ Now we all recall that the PPP/C Government had indicated that Mr. Granger did agree to the proposed rate increases, only for him to make an about-turn and deny that he did. Prime Minister Samuel Hinds had even read the details of the agreement in the National Assembly, yet Mr. Granger maintained his denial. It now appears that Granger was apparently forcing Kissoon to support his contention by making a public statement that he never agreed to the increases; and Kissoon, in turn, refused to heed his urgings. Since then, they claim, she is being victimised.
An important question must be asked here: Why did Vanessa Kissoon refuse to publicly vouch for Granger? Did she know that Granger did indeed commit to the increases and, by denying it, she would be opening herself to public ridicule if the truth ever came out? The nation deserves to know the truth, as people have lost their lives; victims were robbed and beaten; many lost their possessions; public service had been affected; buildings and other infrastructure were destroyed; the scars remain today; and it is Government which is working with Region 10 to repair the damage. This could have all been avoided if the PNC/R = APNU leadership had been honest enough with the people and explain to them the rationale for agreeing to the increases. Rather, they cowered when it was time to stand up and display real leadership; they attempted to hide behind others, and even wanted to utilise their own members to be the fall guys. Vanessa Kissoon must have seen this coming, hence
her reluctance to defend Granger publicly; and for that, according to her and her supporters, she has had to pay a high price. Is this the kind of leadership expected of those aspiring to high office? There is no ‘nationalism’ or ‘unity’ in such behaviour, only ‘self preservation’ at any cost and all costs. The people of Region 10 have also accused Granger of flouting the party’s constitution; and while they have cited examples, we have seen denials by the man keen to stress that he is LEADER in his correspondences with Kissoon, but no specifics have been provided to back up his contention. Maybe we should wait for someone to come to his defense, as apparently that is the modus operandi these days. Old Kai contends that the party’s membership should not be surprised by the dictatorial tendencies emerging. I had warned about this behaviour quite some time ago. It is obvious that the PNC/R’s membership is beginning to feel the squeeze, which is why they are now running around hollering.

Remembering the Ballot Box Martyrs...
Let us be united and inspired By Neil Kumar TOMORROW, JULY 16, we will be commemorating the brutal murder of our two exemplary Comrades Bholanauth Parmanand and Jagan Ramessar. These two young men were ruthlessly and brutally gunned down as they were among their villagers who were struggling for free and fair elections in Guyana. On that fatal day July 16, 1973, forty-one years ago, Bholanauth Permanand and Jagan Ramessar were shot and killed by a Guyana Defence Force Officer. Guyanese were fully aware of the People’s National Congress’ wicked approach to National Elections, specifically, their heinous intentions to rig the elections. Investigations by the Justice Dhanessar Jhappan Commission of Inquiry revealed the high likelihood of a PPP victory if the Elections were run in a free and fair manner. The Commission cited the massive public meetings held by the People’s Progressive Party and the overwhelming public display of support for Dr. Cheddi Jagan as evidence of this. The PNC, in order to ensure their victory by any means necessary, deployed the security forces, both army and police, to all parts of the country. In addition to the regular strength at the Police Stations in Berbice, a battalion was deployed from the Guyana Defence Force under Captain Johnson. Captain Johnson had his headquarters in the Compound of the Central Police Station in New Amsterdam. Captain Johnson’s men were further broken up into smaller groups and a platoon under the command of Lieutenant Henry was sent to the Upper Corentyne on the 7th June, 1973. The section consisted of two Sergeants, three Corporals, five Lance Corporals and nine Privates, that is twenty men in all, including Lieutenant Henry. The platoon pitched camp at No. 51 Backdam and remained there until the 19th
June, 1973. From there they went to Plantation Skeldon, remaining there until the 27th June, 1973 when they moved on to No. 63 and bivouacked on the beach. On the 14th June, 1973, they left No. 63 Beach and set up camp in the compound of the No. 51 Police Station. They had with them self-loading rifles, submachine guns, tear smoke grenades and steel helmets.

Guyanese must never forget that many eminent persons such as Dr. Walter Rodney were assassinated and murdered during the dark days of the PNC rule. Today, we must draw strength, unite and work together for the maintenance and further development of the democracy we now enjoy. We must ensure that the memories of Bholanauth Parmanand and Jagan Ramessar live on in us and let their sacrifice inspire us to rally with

It is not by chance that Private London of the Guyana Defence Force was later known to Guyanese as “Blackie”! He was one of the masterminds among the criminal gangs that terrorised the Guyanese people. “Blackie” was killed in a shootout with the police and the PNC draped his coffin with the National Flag and gave him a PNC farewell funeral.

GuySuCo identifies new Board members - two to confirm acceptance
THE new Board of Directors for the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has been identified, according to Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy. In an invited comment yesterday, he told the Guyana Chronicle that two of the nine persons identified still have to confirm their willingness to serve on the Board before the official announcement is made. He said, when asked, that an invitation to sit on Board was extended to the President of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), Komal Chand, but he has
not responded. Chand was publicly invited by President Donald Ramotar at the Enmore Martyrs’ Day Rally at the monument site in early June, following his criticism that the board is functioning like a “headless” chicken, after the resignation of the last Chairman of the Board, who became the Corporation’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The life of the existing board was extended by six months to June 30 and the new Board’s appointment was scheduled to come on stream from July 1. Under new management
GuySuCo is expected to lead accelerated progress to ensure the industry’s turnaround. The sugar industry is projected to record an improvement of 15.6 percent in output to 215,910 tonnes in 2014 and a whopping $6B has been allocated to the sector in the 2014 Budget, given the industry’s important role in national development. Among the measures to be undertaken to ensure a turnaround of the industry, which the allocation addresses, are: increased production and lower cost of production; diversified target markets, and expansion of value-added production in order to survive. In 2013, sugar exports accounted for 8.3 percent of total exports valued at US$112.2M and the industry contributed 3.9 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). (Vanessa Narine)

Police to investigate City Hall’s Royston King
AUDITOR-GENERAL, Mr. Deodat Sharma has confirmed that the case of City Hall Public Relations Officer, Mr. Royston King has been handed over to the police. In an invited comment, Sharma told the Guyana Chronicle that the Audit Office found that there was a clearly established case for a police investigation. He further stated that the case had been handed over to the relevant authorities. In April 2013, it was alleged that King had signed a $36M tax waiver as the acting Town Clerk for an exemption of taxes to Beacon

The Minister had called on the Audit authorities to determine whether the case demanded the attention of the police. “We, at the Ministry [of Local Government and Regional Development] essentially asked the Auditor General to conduct an inquiry to determine, indeed, if there was any irregularity,” Minister Whittaker disclosed.
The dispute over the Town Clerk’s appointment has spanned the tenures of three successive Local Government Ministers – Kellawan Lall, Ganga Persaud and Norman Whittaker.

A statement from acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba, seen by this newspaper, confirmed that the letter which King had signed was for an exemption of payment of rates and taxes of Beacon Foundation at 127 Carmichael and Quamina Streets, South Cummingsburg to the Georgetown Mayor & City Council, in excess of some $36M. In a series of circulated letters to the Auditor General and the Commissioner of Police, Minister Whittaker had asserted that the power to exempt owners of certain properties from liability to pay rates is vested either wholly or partially in the Council and not in the Town Clerk or any other singular officer.
investigations. Harrichan added that Carol Sooba had subsequently been appointed by then Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud to act as Town Clerk, replacing Pluck on July 25, 2012. In a bizarre turn of events, the appointment of Royston King as the acting Town Clerk was also announced on July 25, 2012. King, however, had not lawfully held this position since his appointment required the approval of the Local Government Minister as mandated by the Municipal and District Councils Act Cap.28:01. Since King was not legally appointed to the position of Town Clerk, it was determined that he would

The Auditor General confirming the alleged ‘fraudulent’ nature of King’s actions noted that, “we [Audit Office] had received the information, [and] the police were asked to look at the matter... The case was very straightforward.” “The matter is with the police ... [and] the police have started their investigation,” the Auditor General told this publication.

the Municipal Act, Beacon Foundation had met the requirements to be granted exemption and further declared that “the council will have no objection to Beacon Foundation being granted exemption of rates.”

Payments to rice farmers continue as...
Sowing for second crop almost complete By Vanessa Narine MILLERS continue to make payments to rice
farmers across the rice producing regions and to date, of the $23.3B worth of paddy produced, over $21B
has been paid out. This is according to Guyana Rice Producers’ Association (RPA) General Secre-
tary, Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj, who said that in Region 2 (Pomeroon/Supenaam) where there was a protest over payments, over $3B of the $4B owed farmers for paddy has been paid out. “The monies paid are about 86 per cent of the amount of what was owed, so a small percentage (14 per cent) is still to be paid,”
done in tranches. The issue of timely payment is the problem and we are working to ensure that we have systems in place and that millers are better organised to avoid this issue,” Seeraj said. According to him, the industry continues to perform well continuously and is working to ensure that millers and farmers improve their ability to deal with the challenges of growth. The first rice crop brought in a record-breaking 315,000 tonnes, which is not only the largest single crop, but also surpassed the annual targets made by the industry prior to 2000. SIMILAR ACREAGE
RPA General Secretary, Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj he said. The RPA Head added that farmers want, and rightly so, to be paid on time, and the government is working closely with both farmers and millers to ensure that this issue is addressed. “What we are doing is working to ensure that mechanisms are in place for the millers to access the funding they need to make the payments to the farmers, since the paddy they purchase are not exported right away, but
Addressing the progress of the second rice crop, Seeraj stated that a similar amount of acreage, as the first crop, is expected to come under cultivation. “We are going into unprecedented ways to get land under cultivation…in the last three years we have moved from 175,000 acres to over 227,000 acres under cultivation and the expansion continues,” Seeraj said, adding that the situation is being monitored. He noted that sowing is almost complete in Regions 5 (Mahaica/ Berbice) and 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne) and is complete in the other rice producing Regions - Regions 2, 3 (Essequibo Islands/ West Demerara) and 4 (Demerara/Mahaica), “Notwithstanding the payment challenge, the second crop is proceeding very well,” the RPA General Secretary said. Seeraj addressed the issue
of weather also and said it is has been good so far for the industry. “It is the rainy season, we planned for it…we may have to do some work in the area of drainage and irrigation, but we are not expecting any major problems,” he said. The rainfall normally experienced during the May/ June rainy season has been less owing to the onset of El Nino conditions. The Agriculture Ministry in May issued an El Nino alert, after consultation with its Hydro-meteorological Office, and taking into consideration predictions from various Regional and International Forecasting and Weather Agencies. Also, a Special El Nino Working group has since been set up to monitor and plan actions to reduce any adverse impact of a possible El Nino on agriculture production. However, the RPA Head acknowledged that the rainfall has been below normal. “The rainfall has been below normal, but it has rained enough to fill the conservancies,” he said. Seeraj made it clear that his organisation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), continue to work with farmers across the country. Yesterday a meeting was held with farmers in Region Three to address issues related to timely payment and success of the second crop. For the second crop, some 225,000 acres of rice is expected to be cultivated, with the overall production depending on farmers’ yield of bags per acre.
Guyana-registered cargo vessel intercepted with ganja in int’l waters A GUYANA-registered cargo vessel en route to Port Georgetown from Jamaica was recently intercepted with over 5,000 pounds of compressed marijuana and illegal weapons, according to police sources. The MV An-Nur usually transports rice from the Essequibo Coast to neighbouring countries and around the Caribbean. Some five Guyanese crew members were reportedly arrested when the vessel was intercepted. While James Singh, Head of Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) has confirmed the confiscation of the illegal drug, he did not divulge any details about the reports of firearms on the vessel. The vessel was intercepted in international waters while on its way to Guyana and Guyanese police are working in close collaboration with the international authorities. Singh stated that the Jamaican marijuana was being shipped to Guyana to be moved elsewhere. According to sources, the vessel and the drugs may be taken to Costa Rica where those arrested will appear in court. MV An-Nur departed these shores early in June this year and was returning home when anti-drug agents, acting on a tip-off, intercepted the vessel with the illegal substance. (Alex Wayne)

Guyana’s Lisa Punch makes it to the quarter-finals
By Alex Wayne ALL Guyana waited with bated breath for home-girl Lisa Punch to steal the deal in her faceoff against Alice Lee in the ABC’s ‘Rising Star Reality Show’ last Sunday night. Being the first contestants in the duet rounds of the show, one has to agree that Alice Lee had certainly taken the advice of the judges and had upped her game in terms of performance and stage presentation. Sadly she missed managing to ‘bring down that wall’, falling short by one point, netting sixty-nine. She, however, had the advantage of all three judges voting on her side in the competition. Lisa Punch’s performance in the second round (where she sang Whitney Houston’s ‘How will I know) was a better act, but all must agree her presentation and vocals on stage last Sunday were far better than Lee’s. The judges certainly did not share these sentiments since Ludacris voted ‘No’ with the explanation that he had seen her singing better. While Bratt Pasley strangely failed to vote at the conclusion of Lisa’s performance, the captivating judge ‘Kesha’ was her loyal self and cast in those much needed points which, however, only propelled Punch to sixty-six, needing three more votes to bring down that wall. West Coast shows mercy When the show starts at 21:00 hrs, only the US East Coast sees it live, and there-
–as ABC’s stars continue to rise
fore votes for their favourite performers. Let’s take into consideration that the West Coast was not allowed to vote until 12 midnight when the show was aired in that area and, as all Guyana hoped, they saved our talented Lisa, allowing her to net 67 points. Netting the highest scores in the duet round was Jesse Kinch with eight-nine points, followed by Megan Tibbits with sixty-nine. Alice Lee netted sixty-eight points, beating Punch by a single point. Not making it through was Sarah Darling and Will Roth. According to MusicTimes.com REVIEW of the Lisa Punch/Alice Lee Battle: “The first duet performance of the night went to Broadway singer Alice J. Lee versus soulful chanteuse Lisa Punch. Lee began the night with a take on the Little Mix anthem “Wings”. Though this girl has the backing of a Broadway education, she really, truly lacks the power of the stage, taking on the song in a quiet manner instead of commanding it with the sass and power it deserves. That’s not to say her vocals were off - they weren’t - they were just a little bit understated. Despite a lack of panache, all three judges voted “yes” and Lee achieved 69 percent of the vote. Which was more than Punch, who performed a take on P!nk’s empowerment anthem “Perfect.” Punch had to perform with the wall up, but she was full of pure soul and love, as she absolutely slayed
“Perfect”. Now, I’m not always the type to think reality shows are fixed, but something smelled a little off here. Lee was able to move on with 69 percent of the vote, with the backing of all three celebrity judges, but Punch barely missed that mark, only getting a ‘Yes’ vote from Kesha, despite her all-around superior singing skills. Maybe producers really like Lee or her Broadway background, but there’s no real reason she should have beaten Punch on singing power alone.” This is why I am saying Guyanese need to come together in full force and back Lisa. Come on Guyana, tune in to NCN, Channel 11 on Sunday nights at 21:00 hrs and vote for Lisa. Stop sitting around and hating!!!! Let us unite and make this happen!!!

ABC’s innovative new series “Rising Star,” which opens the gate to a new era in reality competition, kicked off its nationwide search for talent on Saturday, March 29th. The U.S. series is helmed by executive producers Ken Warwick (“American Idol”) and Nicolle Yaron (“The Voice”). “Rising Star” completely reinvents the traditional singing competition as, for the first time ever, the audience has the final say in real time. The show follows a group of aspiring singers as they perform live. During the performances, viewers vote in real time via an App to determine if the singer will advance in the competition. If the voting reaches a certain threshold, the performer moves on. In addition, the performer can see how the voting is going throughout the performance, so the feedback is immediate and dramatic.
K&B Mining gets on board inaugural Guyana Festival with $1M donation By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally MORE corporate entities are coming on board to support the inaugural Guyana Festival because of the multifaceted interest the event is generating. The latest is K&B Mining & Hardware Supplies, which made a donation of $1M to the Ministry of Tourism yesterday. Minister of Tourism (ag) Irfaan Ali, during the brief presentation ceremony, related that more of corporate Guy-
ana is becoming aware of the tremendous impact that the Guyana Festival will have on our country, both locally and internationally. He said, “I am indeed delighted to have on board K&B Mining since they are one of the major suppliers of mining equipment and to have them show the interest of coming on board to be part of the festival is great indeed.” He also noted that K&B Mining has been around for some time now and can be congratulated for
demonstrating their social responsibility toward Guyana as they also demonstrate care and concern by promoting mining in a sustainable manner. Ali reiterated that the Guyana Festival is creating great positive ‘vibes’ for Guyana and highlighted that this festival is aimed at bringing the country and its people together.

Education Ministry to Tony’s Auto Spares hands out launch new interactive prizes in ‘Kick-Off Promotion’ –Golden Grove man now owner of brand new motor car website tomorrow By Alex Wayne
AT a simple ceremony last Saturday, folks at Tony’s Auto Spares, at Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara, handed out prizes to the winners of their 2014 ‘Kick Off Promotion.’ Those receiving prizes were the lucky customers whose names had been drawn from a rotisserie when Tony’s conducted a special drawing at its Light Street, Alberttown, Georgetown location on Friday last. Among the happy winners was the still shocked Marlon Andrews of Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara, who was actually the first to place coupons in the rotisserie when the promotion commenced on
June 12, 2014. He has won for himself a spanking new Nissan March motorcar. Other winners included Avinash Chatterpaul, Sharon Budhoo and Mulchand Persand of De Hoop, Mahaica, who all won hampers consisting of items for the care of their cars. A special drawing was conducted for the benefit of the media, and Kaieteur News’ Frankie Wilson was the lucky winner. Speaking at the function, Tony’s CEO, Tony Ramcharran, congratulated the winners and informed them that the promotion was a resounding success. He added that the entity hopes to give out two more cars before the end of 2014.
He said the promotions are actually the company’s initiative to ‘give back to customers’ who have been supporting them over the twenty years of their operation. Marlon Andrews was elated at his luck. He explained that he has never previously won anything at any commercial promotion, and urged Guyanese to support the entity even as he vowed that he would continue to be a loyal customer of the entity’s. Andrews’s coupon was drawn on Friday from amongst more than two thousand others that were submitted by customers. And he certainly enjoyed double luck by winning himself a car care hamper as well.
Different views of the Ministry of Education website (www.education.gov.gy)
THE Ministry of Education (MOE) will be launching its new website tomorrow, Wednesday, July 16, 2014. The launch will be at 10:00hrs and persons are asked to log on to www.education.gov.gy and be a part of this historical event via live stream. This new website is in line with the Ministry’s efforts to meet the needs of the modern, dynamic global environment of which Guyana’s education system is a part. After months of development and testing and now the reality of the launch of the MOE website, Minister of Education Priya Manickchand said in a press statement, “We function in a modern world where Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play critical roles in
our communication processes. The Ministry of Education recognises this and is pleased to be a part of the progressive march of technology, by designing this new interactive website, geared towards providing greater online visibility for the Ministry, as well as useful information on the education sector to all our stakeholders.” The website boasts various functions with an interactive portal with access to a wide variety of essential online information concerning the local education sector. Manickchand noted that this new website is designed to be easily utilised by parents, teachers and students of all grades. The Ministry sees the establishment of this new website as critical to further enhancing public engagement
and interaction. The statement further explained that the information on the site will range from curriculum guides, past test papers, CSEC and CAPE syllabuses, to colouring packets and interactive videos for nursery children, interactive quizzes for primary age children from grades 2-6, tips for parents and teachers as well as a host of education policy documents among other important information. The MOE is continuing to further establish a greater presence online. With almost 14,000 Facebook friends, the Ministry intends to strategically capitalise on its growing online presence, to further engage and influence its online community, through meaningful content that is both current and relevant.

Dismembered corpse in New York identified as missing Guyanese mom A JIGSAW puzzle of body parts strewn across Long Island was solved as a result of a tattoo on the right arm of the dismembered Guyanese woman, New York law enforcement sources said. Police have identified parts of the hacked-up body found in Suffolk County as those of Chinelle Latoya
Browne, a Guyanese native who moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn about a year ago. The 27-year-old mother of four was last seen on Saturday, law enforcement sources said. Her sister, Suget Thompson, 42, of New Jersey, had reported her missing from her Brooklyn home. The murder mystery un-
folded last Tuesday morning at 6:45 a.m. when Suffolk police responded to a 911 call in a Bay Shore parking lot near the Fire Island ferry. The torso and legs of Browne’s body were found in a “weed-strung lot” right off the trail, Suffolk County Detective Kevin Beyrer said. On Wednesday, an arm with part of a shirtsleeve
was found on the lawn of a Hempstead family right next to their white picket fence around 2 p.m. Just a quarter-mile down the road, another arm was found Thursday evening in Hempstead, but authorities have not confirmed it is Browne’s left arm. Browne’s tattoo on her upper right arm with her

Guyana Chronicle, “I know that the landlord is responsible for this.” Sources told the New York Post the landlord is being eyed as the investigation continues and cops were seen going in and out of her apartment Friday morning. In a tragic twist, Browne’s last Facebook post was on June 12 when she posted a photo of her wedding day with her father kissing her. “RIP…DADDY it hurts so much to lose him now I lost my mom 5 years
ago and now I have to go through this again a person can only take so much,” she wrote. The gruesome murder has similarities to the infamous 2011 killings at Gilgo Beach, where an unidentified murderer dumped 10 to 14 victims’ bodies along Ocean Parkway. Nassau, Suffolk and Brooklyn police are still searching for more answers as to why Browne was killed. (Asif Hakim, credit to New York Post)

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday July 15, 2014
Markings of the synthetic track completed … Sport Minister invites track athletes to test it out By Michael DaSilva THE markings of the lanes and the various starting points at Guyana’s first synthetic track, situated at Leonora, West Coast Demerara have been completed and Minister of Sport Dr Frank Anthony has extended an invitation to local athletes to test the facility. The markings of the lanes and various starting points as well as the marking of the field events stations were completed over the weekend by the German firm BSW Regupol whose engineer Matthew Cohen told media operatives yesterday during a site tour that the only thing that is left to do is to get the International Amateur Athletic Association’s (IAAF) certification before Guyana will be able to host international events at the facility. Cohen, who is a British national contracted by BSW Regupol to do the markings on the track informed that all the measurements and markings on the track are of international standard. He said he would now have to supply this information to the IAAF after an of-
ficial from the Ministry of Sport here in Guyana signs a document stating that Guyana is seeking certification from the IAAF. This, Cohen said, will be forwarded to the international body and within two to four weeks it will receive certification. Cohen, who works for Trackmasters International, informed that while being contracted by BSW Regupol he has worked on over 500 tracks around the world including facilities in Jamaica, Barbados and the Bahamas and all have received IAAF’s certification. He explained that the work on the Leonora track could have been completed earlier, but the weather was not kind earlier in the month and thanks to a few days of good sunshine, the work was completed. Asked about the life span of the synthetic surface, Cohen said it all depends on how often it is used but added that it should last for 10 to 15 years Meanwhile, Dr Anthony, who was also on the site tour along with the Permanent Secretary Alfred King and Deputy Permanent Secretary Steve Ninvalle, said he is
pleased the work on the actual track has been completed while the North Eastern and South Eastern Stands are almost completed and this he said should be finished in another six to eight weeks. “A number of our athletes have not run on a synthetic track and maybe the athletes going to the Commonwealth Games can try out the surface” Dr Anthony suggested, adding “This is the type of surface they will be running on at the Games”. Minister Anthony informed the gathering that there will be the opening ceremony very shortly and a special event is being planned for it. Cohen said now that Guyana has a synthetic track, he would be looking at Guyana’s athletes’ performance at Regional; and International meets in another few years. The North Eastern and South Eastern stands when completed will each accommodate 2 300 patrons, and below the stands, there will be lockers, changing rooms, bathrooms and other facilities, including lockers for athletes and officials.

Messi did not deserve Golden Ball, says Maradona
(REUTERS) - Argentina forward Lionel Messi did not deserve to win the World Cup ‘Golden Ball’ as the tournament’s best player, according to his compatriot and former great Diego Maradona. Messi received the award after Argentina lost 1-0 to Germany in the final on Sunday but he looked far from happy as he went up to collect the trophy. “I could see he didn’t want to go up and collect it,” Maradona said on his television show ‘De zurda’, adding that ‘marketing people’ had made a decision he described as ‘unfair’. Maradona led Argentina to the World Cup in 1986 and
was named the tournament’s best player but although Messi scored four goals in the group stage he failed to find the net in the knockout rounds and was subdued in the final. FIFA president Sepp Blatter also expressed surprise at the choice yesterday which was made by the football governing body’s technical study group. “Shall I be diplomatic or tell the truth, OK the truth ... I was a bit surprised he

Blatter casts doubt on Russia 2018 plans By Mike Collett RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - FIFA president Sepp Blatter threw an unexpected seed of doubt into Russia’s preparations for the 2018 World Cup yesterday when he said that FIFA will discuss the possibility of reducing the number of stadiums to be used there in four years time. Two days after Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko gave media detailed background about Russia’s plans for their World Cup which involves 12 stadiums in 11 cities, Blatter implied that they could be re-examined. “It’s a foot-balling country but we will have meetings there in September to see if 12 is the right number and even if they could be reduced to 10.” His comments came as a complete surprise to Alexei Sorokin, the chief executive officer of the Russian Organising Committee who told reporters: “This is the first I have heard about it, we know nothing about this.” Blatter, speaking at his final media briefing following Germany’s win over Argentina in Sunday’s final, said a FIFA delegation will visit Russia to discuss plans for their finals in September. Blatter described the Brazil World Cup as “very, very special” giving it a mark of 9.25 out of 10 but said he was troubled that it cost in the region of $11 billion (£6.44 billion) to stage. “It’s obvious the World Cup has taken such a dimension that the organisation is hard work for the organising country and also for the FIFA,” he said. “FIFA is looking at 2018 now and we are in discussions on what is the ideal number for the organisation and to keep it in such a manner that it’s feasible, reasonable and controllable. “We are not going to be in a situation as is the case of one, two or even three stadiums in South Africa where it is a problem of what you do with these stadiums,” Blatter said. Russia president Vladimir Putin was in Rio for Sunday’s World Cup final and held talks with Blatter while he was in the Brazil capital. Mutko told reporters on Saturday that the country had allocated $20 billion - $9 billion more than Brazil - to staging the tournament.

was the choice but his goals were decisive at the start of the tournament,” Blatter told reporters at his final media briefing of the 2014 World Cup. Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella, however, backed the decision to give the award to his team’s captain. “I think he did deserve it. He played an extraordinary World Cup and he was a fundamental factor to our team,” Sabella said. Maradona, who said
Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez should have won the award after scoring six goals in Brazil, was happy with the overall performance of the Argentina team. “We raised our flag high, there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “Germany won due to a misunderstanding in the defence, but at no point were they better than wes. They showed us a lot of respect and our lads earned that out on the pitch.”
National U-17 team wing out today for CFU Championship GUYANA’S National Under-17 football team departed today, destined for the Dominican Republic, where they will compete in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Under-17 Championship. Named the ‘Junior Jaguars’, Guyana will play Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda and the hosts where only two teams will advance to the next stage. Coach of the team, Bryan Joseph, said that he is enthused by the level of commitment shown by the players during their time spent in preparing for the tournament and was optimistic of the team being successful in the Dominican Republic. While Joseph confessed to the team not having adequate time to properly prepare, the for-
mer national forward said that he will make no excuses for the side if they do not perform to the best of their ability. Joseph said that he is happy that the best players were selected to represent Guyana and had only asked of his players to give 100% effort at all times on the field. President of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Christopher Matthias said the players selected represent a new generation of the Golden Jaguars who will begin the rebuilding campaign for the country’s national programme. Matthias, since taking office, has been keen on restructuring the country’s football amidst call for having the senior national team back in action.
Guyana will open their CFU Under-17 campaign against Barbados on Friday July 18, followed by a clash against Antigua July 20 and then will wrap up their group stage match against the host country on July 22. The squad: Quazim Yusuf and Dwayne Thomas - defenders: Randy Hohenkirk, Seon Barrett, Tariq Nelson, Teffon Alexander, Shomol Smith, Jeremy Garrett – midfielders; Kevin Layne (captain), Job Caesar, Brian Thom, Gerald Sobers, Maurice Barnes; Forwards; Keno Washington, Shamar Blair and Joel Dick. Brian Joseph (head coach), Chevon Monchoir (assistant coach), O’Neil Heywood (goalkeeper/ coach), Charlene Henry (physiotherapist).

Regional Under-17 tournament
Guyana shock Jamaica, Windwards edge Barbados, T&T cruise Keemo Paul SCARBOROUGH, Tobago - Anil Matthew and Emmanuel Stewart stroked high quality halfcenturies to spearhead a successful Windward Islands run chase as they beat Barbados by five
wickets in the last over, in the fourth round of the Regional Under-17 Championship here Sunday. Chasing 191 at Shaw Park, the Windwards reached their target with four balls remaining, with Matthew stroking an unbeaten 83 and Stewart an outstanding 75. They lost vice-captain Christian Charlery in the first over of the run-chase without a run on the board but Matthew and Stewart put on 146 for the second wicket, to wrench the game away
from Barbados. When the Windwards lost three wickets for three runs in eight balls the space of eight balls, Matthew kept the innings together to see his side home. He faced 139 balls and struck seven fours while Stewart faced 123 deliveries and also counted seven fours. New-ball bowler Dominic Drakes picked up three for 34. Earlier, Barbados mustered 190 for eight from
their 50 overs, thanks to a top score of 59 from wicketkeeper Yvan Grant and an unbeaten 43 from Drakes. At Bon Accord, Guyana shocked Jamaica by 136 runs after producing an incisive bowling display. Winning the toss and batting, Guyana rattled up an impressive 255 for nine off their 50 overs with Adrian Sukwah hitting 59 and Travis Persaud getting 35. The pair put on 88 for the third wicket with Sukwah facing 100 balls and strik-
ing eight fours and Persaud counting three fours in a patient 94-ball innings. In reply, Jamaica crashed to 86 all out off 27 overs with Brad Barnes top-scoring with 28 and Tyrone Daley getting 26 not out. Jamaica were wrecked by Keemo Paul who snatched four for 28 and Sherfane Rutherford, who finished with three for 17. At Louis D’Or, Trinidad and Tobago turned back the Leeward Islands by three wickets, after producing a
handsome run-chase. Brandon Maharaj topscored with 65 and Keegan Simmons, 53, as T&T reached 247 for seven from 49 overs. The pair put on 105 for the second wicket after losing Jordan Warner to the first ball of the innings. The Leewards had earlier got half-centuries from Ross Powell (75) and Dmitri Adams (62) as they gathered 243 for nine from their 50 overs, after winning the toss and batting.
ROY RAMGOOLAM/PORT MOURANT SOFTBALL CUP 4
Defending champs easily retain title for fourth successive year Arjune named man-of-the-match
By Calvin Roberts THANKS to a man-ofthe-match performance from Chandrashaker Arjune, defending champions City Stars defeated Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets (RHTGG) by eight wickets to easily retain for the fourth successive year the Roy Ramgoolam and family’s fourth annual Port Mourant Softball Cup T20 title. Winning the toss and opting to field first, City Stars, who trumped the home team Port Mourant Cricket Club by six wickets in their semifinals, restricted RHTGG to 38 for 6, before they ended on 108 all out, thanks to John Percival’s 38, backed by 18 from Michael Hicks and 15 from Michael’s brother Delbert. Arjune took 3 for 17 and Mahendra Baldeo, who shared the Best Bowler award with his skipper Krishnanand Balgobin, 2 for 23, for City Stars who coasted to 109 for 2 in reply, with Arjune hitting an unbeaten 38, having with him Pooran Debidyal who was on 27 when victory was achieved. A massive crowd saw City Stars win the toss and ask RHTGG to take first strike and when Khemraj
Mahadeo was bowled for 3, followed by the wickets of Eon Hooper (4), Jason Sinclair (1), and Clinton Pestano (0), pandemonium broke out among the City Stars supporters, while RHTGG batsmen panicked as their team slipped to 24 for 4. Delbert Hicks and Troy Mathieson (8) sought to repair with their 14-run partnership, but both perished within two balls, thanks to Arjune, enabling Percival and Delbert’s younger brother Michael, to repair that damage with some deft running between the wickets. However, when Michael Hicks was dismissed via run out, Simeon Lawson (10) joined Percival and pushed the score over the 100run mark, before Lawson was sent back, followed by Shawn Pereira (2) and Percival, who was the last batsman dismissed. In their reply, City Stars saw Michael Ramalho (13) and David Looknauth (23) add 24 for the first wicket, with the former hitting the first ball of his team’s innings from Sinclair, audaciously through cover point for 4. When Ramalho was sent back, bowled by Mahadeo, Arjune joined Looknauth and pushed the score to 54,
before Looknauth, who was six runs away from claiming the Best Batsman award, which later went to David Latchana of Block 4, was caught. It was the final hurrah for RHTGG, as Arjune in partnership with Debidyal carried City Stars to 109 for 2 off 16.5 overs, earning them the $320 000 first place prize, trophy and 16 medallions, while RHTGG took home $160 000, a trophy and 16 medallions for their second-place finish. In the third place playoff, PMCC defeated Tain who lost their semifinal fixture to RHTGG, by seven wickets, to take home $80 000 and a trophy. Batting first, Tain were limited to 91 for 7 from their 15 overs, with L. Veerasammy topscoring with 19 (2x4), while Navindra made 16 (2x4) and S. Pooran 11. National leg-spinner Amir Khan took 3 for 17 and Mahendra Ramdhial 2 for 9 for PMCC, who in reply scored 92 for 3 from 12 overs, thanks to an unbeaten 36 (2x6, 1x4) from Ramdhial and 13 each from Khan and Troy Gonsalves. In the first semifinal, PMCC, asked to bat first by City Stars, were bowled out for 90 off 14.1 overs,

David Looknauth then struck two fours and one six in his topscore of 26, which along with 21 from Ramalho and 15 from Arjune, powered City Stars to 92 for 4 from 10.4 overs and a place in the final where they later met and defeated RHTGG, who blew past Tain by 10 wickets in the other semifinal. Batting first, Tain were
bowled out for 81 in 15.3 overs, with Anil Chattergoon 31 (2x4) offering resistance to Hooper (3 for 12), Sinclair (2 for 12) and Mahadeo (2 for 21), while Mahadeo had three sixes and two fours in his unbeaten 44 backed by Hooper’s 24 (2x6, 1x4) as RHTGG reached 82 without loss off 6.4 overs. In an invited comment with Chronicle Sport, Ramgoolam said he felt pleased giving back to the community-based club, since it was there he would have gone in the afternoons after school and fielded balls for the batsmen, before becoming a member. He vowed to come back
next year as he has been doing for the past four years, and continue with the programme, in which he is looking to make it bigger and better, since, apart from the donation of the cricket prizes, he also made a financial donation along with bat rubbers, six boxes of cricket balls and other miscellaneous items to PMCC. In a show of appreciation, both Ramgoolam and Bhola Ramsundar were the beneficiaries of engraved plaques from PMTCC, whose president Vicram Seubarran said thanks to Ramgoolam for his tangible and timely support to the club.

GABF to host Extraordinary Congress to address challenges ahead … Hinds pleased with teams’ performance at CBC By Rawle Toney While the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) wrapped up their Men’s and Women’s Championship, the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation’s (GABF) headache has only now begun. Behind president Nigel Hinds, Guyana was able to send both a male and female team to the July 1-12 event which was staged in the British province of Tortola. While captain Rawle Marshall was inspirational in the men’s team, finishing a comfortable fifth place, it was the complete opposite for the women’s team who were virtually the tournament’s whipping girls as they finished at the bottom of the eight-team tournament. However, on the bright side, the GABF had smooth sailing from the women
while, according to Hinds, the Federation “was faced with a revolt against management” from the men, due to unavailability of stipends. “All CBC teams to the best of my knowledge received stipends from their Federation, except Guyana, for our men’s team, it created great disquiet. Aristotle said: “Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime”. I think this is a very apt quote in terms of what occurred off court with our men’s team. GABF management was faced with a revolt against management, by players who were told no stipend was available before they left Guyana,” Hinds said. Chronicle Sport was in receipt of a string of emails, mostly from the GABF which spoke of the conduct of the men’s basketball team who had revolted for some form of stipend.
He pointed out that the Guyana women’s team too did not receive any stipends but their full complement of uniforms and warm-up tops were returned, while the men bluntly refused to hand over their gear. Nonetheless, Hinds said that overall, the GABF “is pleased to have had both teams at the CBC Championships. As Dr Luncheon asked me during our drive for funding, ‘Is the problem insurmountable’? And my answer was No. We have to deal condignly with the conduct of our men’s team” “We Guyanese who were once Caribbean leaders in the sixties and early seventies, and even now - when Guyana has recorded its eighth consecutive year of economic growth in 2013, yet our Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport did not provide any financial support to
GABF president Nigel Hinds the GABF for the pinnacle basketball event in the Caribbean.” According to Hinds, “The largest donor for teams like Jamaica and Trinidad, based on my discussions with the principals of these teams was their Ministry of Sports. Discussions with
third parties indicated that the Sports Ministry played a major role in funding all the National teams, from 35% to 80%. The point made recently in Guyana by Ato Boldon, the great Trinidadian, Caribbean and World Sprinter, and now Sports Analyst, that Guyana needs to develop a culture for Sports is spot on.” The biggest challenge the GABF had was funding the teams, where approximately G$12M was needed and the former National playerturned-basketball president said, “This is why we need to ensure that government policy encompasses the funding of Sports Federations to participate in major events and Federations should receive an annual subvention through the National Budget Process.” He added “As much as corporate Guyana, Office of
the President, and individuals both in Guyana and the Guyanese Diaspora contributed, executives and the likes of Patrick Haynes had to dig deep into their own pockets and also incur personal debt to fill the financial gap and make it possible for Guyana to have Men’s and Women’s Teams participate at the 2014 CBC Championships. In terms of what’s next, the GABF president claimed the need to have an Extraordinary Congress to address the challenges ahead, further adding, “What I can say with certainty is that both Guyana Men’s and Women’s teams will be attending the 2015 CBC Championships scheduled once again for Tortola, British Virgin Islands, where we intend to see the Golden Arrowhead fly proudly once again at the Championships.”
Dr Anthony urges participants of Swimming Camp to aim high DESPITE an early morning downpour, over 100 participants braved the weather to turn up at the opening of the National Sports Commission (NSC) Summer Swimming Camp that is being held at the Colgrain Pool, Camp Street, with the participants being urged to aim high as they embark on a new journey in their lives. The eager youngsters, between ages six and 16, turned up at the facility to commence six weeks of training in the fundamentals of the sport, with the course be conducted by Cuban coach Isabel Maria Couso Fals with support from six other local instructors. Over the years, this programme has consistently produced quality swimmers who later moved on to represent Guyana at various levels in the sport and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr Frank Anthony in his feature remarks, told the participants and parents present to make maximum use of the opportunity being afforded them. He informed his audience, which also included Director of Sport Neil Kumar, that the government has
youngsters to aim for excellence in their swimming pursuits. Sessions will be held from 09:00hrs to 12:00hrs on weekdays with the youngsters being divided into groups, based on their age and while some of the participants are first-timers, others
already have some level of training and will be tutored on the more advanced aspects of swimming. At the conclusion of the camp, the participants will be given Certificates of Participation, while those interested in furthering their skill will be placed in clubs.

While he urged the youngsters to be attentive and learn the intricacies of the sport, Dr Anthony also encouraged persons with the requisite skills to take up the mantle of lifeguard, an area of the sport he feels is short on human resource. “Last year we ran a special programme for Lifeguards with a Canadian group and this year we want
to offer that programme again because we feel that it is important to train Lifeguards to international standards. We’re not compromising on that,” said Dr Anthony. He added, “After that training, many of those persons who received training they went off in different areas. They take the training and they’re not giving back, so I’m hoping that those of you who have swimming ability and who are interested in becoming Lifeguards that we can get some of you to be trained and also that you come back and help us.
“Because, if we are going to run sessions then we’ll need people, who can offer safety to the persons who are swimming. We don’t know when accidents can occur, but when they occur we must have all the safety measures and precautions in place to prevent anything serious from happening.” According to Kumar, this is just one of 11 other camps the Ministry will be hosting in various disciplines during the August holiday and while insisting that the participants must focus on their academic uplifting, he also urged the

4TH DIGICEL INTER-SECONDARY SCHOOL FOOTBALL C’SHIPS
Bush Lot Secondary edge out MTI to take top honours in Region 5 By Calvin Roberts
DESPITE the soggy conditions underfoot, with water interrupting play at several spots on the ground, both Bush Lot Secondary and Mahaicony Technical Institute (MTI) displayed great skill and technique in their fourth annual Digicel Inter-Secondary School Football Championships encounter at the Mahaicony Community Centre ground, yesterday afternoon. However, they could be only one winner and when the final whistle sounded in fading light it was Bush Lot Secondary who came out on top, 4-3, to land for themselves, a place in the national playoffs, a new set of uniforms, trophy, medallions and $100 000 towards a school project. Also at the Kamaka Recreational Centre yesterday, Santa Rosa, on the back of a hat-trick from
Keith Da Silva, defeated Wauna Secondary 8-2 to advance to the Regional finals in that zone. At Mahaicony, Marlon Nicholson signalled early intentions for Bush Lot, when he got a long pass from Ruel Chester which he controlled neatly despite the presence of three players from MTI around him and whom he later evaded before going past MTI custodian Hakeem Waldron and scoring in an open goal in the 13th minute. Kwesi Richmond, who later scored two goals for MTI, displayed an unselfish act when he sent a gem of a pass to an unmarked Shemar Gayadin who was stationed inside Bush Lot’s penalty area, but the stocky striker could not make contact, enabling Osbert Cain in goal for Bush Lot to effect the save easily. They paid for that miss, as Nicholson made it 2-0
Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) winning team. St Rose’s Courtney Taylor was named the NSBF best coach and received the prize, compliments of Edward B. Beharry and Company Ltd, and Digicel best
uniformed team award went to Bishops’ High. Ti m o t h y T h o m p s o n (Bishops’), Edmare Semple (NATI), Jamal Gilkes (KK), Jaleel Young (Marian Academy), Kemmol Benjamin (KK) were the Banks DIH
stand-out players awardees. Sportsmanship Individual award was won by Patrice Agrippa (St Rose’s), Sportsmanship Team went to Marian Academy and the Senior Class Award - Jonathan Pooran (UG).

YBG CHAMPIONSHIP
Kwakwani win U-19, U-14 and Girls championship KWAKWANI, located on the Berbice River in Region 10, dominated the just concluded Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG)-organised National Schools Basketball Festival (NSBF), held over the past two weeks in Georgetown. Kwakwani won the Girls’ championship, along with the Under-14 and Under-19 titles but lost to St Rose’s Secondary in the Boys’ Under-16 final. It was a fitting result for one of the most successful teams at the championship and the community who showed their all-round dominance. It was really a case of a ‘no contest’ in the Under-19 final with Kwakwani Secondary behind Leonard Primo’s monster night on the court, as they defeated Plaisance Academy 73-59. Primo totalled 29 points and grabbed 18 rebounds and was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP), a fitting reward for the power forward, who has been consistent throughout the Digicel-sponsored tournament. Nathan Saul saved his best performance for last, to help St Rose’s prevent a Kwakwani clean-sweep, as he scored a game-high 39
and tapped the ball into the far corner with a powerful right-footer, much to the delight of his teammates.
A well-directed free kick from Carlos Miller in the 25th minute, reduced Bush Lot’s lead, before a dubious decision from the referee, who went for a one bounce drop ball in soggy conditions, enabled Bush Lot to double their lead, as Chester pounced on the loose ball, made his way to the goal area and beat Waldron to his left in the 35th minute. Despite the scoreline reading 3-1 in favour of Bush Lot, MTI, continued to fight hard in the first half and were rewarded with two goals from Richmond, who found the back of the net in the 38th and 43rd minutes of play, with his second coming via a penalty kick after he was brought down in the box. The scoreline read 3-3 at lemon time, but an Adrian Price free kick from the right
hand side of the field, which was similar to the one scored by David Luiz of Brazil in their quarterfinal matchup against Colombia in the just concluded FIFA World Cup, handed Bush Lot the lead in the 56th minute. They held on to same until the final whistle, with Cain denying Richmond the opportunity to grab a hat trick of goals and send the game into penalty kicks with a defying save in the dying seconds of the contest, after he (Richmond) saw his free kick taken earlier skimming the bar with Cain stranded. At Kamaka, DaSilva found the back of the net in the 22nd, 26th and 50th minutes of play, backed by solitary strikes from Terrence Chappell (26th), Brandon Phillips (33rd), Own Goal (38th), Alanzo Abraham (60th) and Dwayne Rubeiro (69th) to steer Santa Rosa home, while Mican Henry (1st) and Lloyd Solomon (71st) scored for Wauna.

GUYANESE players opened their fight at the 2014 Junior Caribbean Area Squash Association (CASA) Championships with a number of wins, led by Makeda Harding, when the individual division of the competition started in Hamilton, Bermuda last Sunday. Guyana had six wins and three losses on the opening day, leading largely in the younger categories with Harding, Shomari Wiltshire, and Daniel Islam triumphing in the Under-13 category. Playing on the Girls’ side, Harding captured Guyana’s first win of the day when she took on Bermuda’s Casey Morris and blanked her 3-0. Wiltshire secured Guyana’s second win, taking out Morris’ compatriot Mathew Elliot in an effortless 11-3, 11-2, 11-2. The torch was next picked up by Islam, who achieved an 11-6, 11-1, 11-5 victory against Bermuda’s Ethan Furbert. However, Guyana’s Anthony Islam was not so fortunate in the Boys’ Under-13. Pitted against the defending champion in his first round match, Anthony found himself largely outmatched, but gave a good account of himself as he went down 4-11, 4-11, 4-11 against Barbados’ Khamal Cumberbatch. Guyana’s other three wins were captured by Alex Cheeks in the Boys’ Under-15 category, Taylor Fernandes and Ben Mekdeci. Cheeks was confident as he took on Bermuda’s Sam Morris in his Boys’ Under-15 match and it showed as he easily won 11-0, 11-3, 11-0. Fernandes, playing in the Girls’ Under-17 category, had an easy time as she demolished Cayman Island’s Mischa Kluyver 11-4, 11-1, 11-0, while Mekdeci was just as clinical in his Boys’ Under-17 matchup against Zachary Proverbs-Harris winning 11-4, 11-1, 11-1. Meanwhile, losses were also recorded by Guyana’s Sarah Lewis, and Alec Melville. Playing Guyana’s last match of the day, Melville played the match of his life in a losing cause, going down to Bermuda’s Dylan Muldoon 11-8, 10-12, 10-12, 10-12. Lewis lost 7-11, 1-11, 4-11 in the Girls’ Under-17 against Bermuda’s Olivia Lindsey. Matches in the competition continued yesterday with the commencement of the quarterfinals and semifinal rounds of the individual category. Boys’ Under-17 champion Nyron Joseph was scheduled to debut in the Boys’ Under-19 category with a match against Cayman Island’s Daniel Murphy, while in other matches Larissa Wiltshire will clash with Bermuda’s Tye Williams in the Girls’ Under-17 category, Victoria Arjoon will challenge Emma Keane and Gabriel Fraser will face Charlotte Knaggs.
