Guyanese report increased challenges with money transfers

By Vanessa Narine

THERE have been increasing reports, particularly regarding remittances, of the impact resulting from the warning by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) after Guyana missed the given deadline for the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill.

He said, “When I and other Members of Parliament on the Government side spoke about this (the challenges) in the National Assembly and elsewhere we were criticised.

“We were accused of fabricating these problems and of engaging in scaremongering and of attempting to intimidate the private sector and the population.

“What we are seeing now make it clear that we did not exaggerate the impact of being blacklisted.”

The AG pointed out that he had warned that the impact would take a month to really be felt.

CFATF at its plenary meeting in November 2013 warned its members to “consider implementing counter measures to their financial systems from the ongoing money laundering and terrorist financing risks” emanating from Guyana.

The latest case related to the Guyana Chronicle was the increased burden of receiving money sent from overseas by a family member.

The man, who requested anonymity, told this newspaper that the local money agency had to call their United States office to have the money released.

“My sister had to convince them that she was sending money to her brother and before I could get the money, only US$100, there was a long process of verifying,” he said.

When contacted by the Guyana Chronicle, the consensus from two major money transfer companies in Guyana, Western Union and Money Gram, was that additional verifications are needed, in the absence of Gail Teixeira the updated AML/CFT legislation. Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall A senior official from Western Union’s head office in Jamaica was unavailable for comment on “A month has passed and we are seeing the impacts and rethe step by step procedure being currently used. percussions,” he said.

changes to the AML/CFT Bill.

NOT AVAILABLE When contacted, Chair of the Committee, Gail Teixeira, told the Guyana Chronicle that no date has been set for the Committee to meet to begin its review.

Since the Bill was returned to the Committee, the body has met once to confirm a Chairperson for the Committee, which was done on Monday.

Teixeira said, “The Opposition was not available to meet this week, so we have yet to agree on a date sometime next week.”

FEBRUARY DEADLINE She stressed that the aim will be to ensure that the Committee’s work is completed by the first week of February.

“We want to meet the FATF (French-based Financial Action Task Force) deadline,” she said.

The FATF is expected to hold a review in February, in which Guyana could be included, following CFATF’s designation of Guyana as a country with strategic anti-money laundering and countering the financing terrorism deficiencies that has not made sufficient progress in addressing the deficiencies and has not complied with its Action Plan developed with CFATF to address these deficiencies.

CFATF itself is expected to review Guyana’s position in May 2014 at its next meeting. If Guyana is unable to meet the May 2014 deadline, the body is expected to hand Guyana over to the Financial Action Task Force for the International Cooperation Review Group’s (ICRG) evaluation to begin.

Heavy rainfall halts sugar industry land preparation CHIEF Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), Mr. Paul Bhim disclosed, yesterday, that heavy rains have halted land preparations across the industry.

According to him, other current efforts include, factory maintenance, cleaning of canals and fertilising and chemical weed control.

Bhim said milling is expected to start early next month on some estates, while other factories will begin operations in the third week of February.

“We are not working (grinding) now, so the turnout is not very good,” he explained, referring to the number of employees at work.

Bhim explained that, currently, during the off-grinding period, three of the estates have their entire workforce on one week leave, while, at the remaining four, only part of their employees are off the job.

Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture, factory attendance yesterday was 78 percent, with the average for the week, to date, being 76 percent.

Sugar production came in at a dismal 186,500 tonnes for 2013 and the 2014 target has been set at 230,000 tonnes.

Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy told the Guyana Chronicle that the new target is possible and emphasised that GuySuCo needs a good year to support the turnaround of the sector.

Three security bills up for second reading in first sitting of House for 2014

By Vanessa Narine PARLIAMENT will today consider seven bills which are up for their second reading. Those bills are the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013; Wildlife Import and Export Bill 2013; Guyana Cricket Administration Bill 2012; Land Surveyors (Profession) Bill 2013; Summary Jurisdiction (Procedure) (Amendment) Bill 2013; Evidence (Amendment) Bill 2013, and Firearms (Amendment) Bill 2013.

The latter three bills were reintroduced by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall.

The bills had been the issue of controversy after they were first presented by Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee and rejected by the Opposition, who moved a no-confidence motion against Minister Rohee.

Asked in a prior interview if a challenge in Opposition support was anticipated, Minister Rohee had noted that while he

may be required to speak on the bills, they were tabled in the AG’s name, and the joint Opposition should not have a problem with the AG speaking in the House.

He said, “The bills are not in my name, and the Opposition has said that they will not support any bill in my name… If need be, I will support it… It is quite possible (that he may speak on the bills).”

According to Nandlall, given that the contention of the Opposition does not reflect opposition to him speaking on bills not in his name, the question at hand is whether or not they would support the bills tabled in the AG’s name.

Following the Opposition no confidence motion, Speaker Raphael Trotman had ruled that Minister Rohee would be allowed to participate fully in the business of the National Assembly, and be unhindered in the execution of his rights, both as an elected Member of Parliament and as the individual designated by the President to be the Home Affairs Minister.

Trotman had said: “It is my considered opinion that refusing the right to a minister to address the House is tantamount to refusing the President the right to speak in the House -- a very unconstitutional and untenable situation”.

However, in his ruling, Trotman acknowledged that the National Assembly could refuse to listen if the minister chose to speak; but Rohee was constitutionally given the right to address the National Assembly in his capacity as Home Affairs Minister.

The AG pointed out subsequently that nothing in Guyana’s Constitution permits its Parliament to remove an appointed Cabinet Minister.

The National Assembly would also, for the first time, consider the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2013; and the Deeds Registry (Amendment) Bill 2012 for the third time, as well as several motions, one of which is the reduction of tolls charged by the Berbice Bridge.

Slain Police Corporal Elias laid to rest in emotional send-off

By Leroy Smith THE Mount Sinai Deliverance Ministries at Haslington, East Coast of Demerara was yesterday afternoon packed to capacity as scores of ECD residents, police officers of all ranks dressed in ceremonial uniform, relatives and other sympathizers gathered to bid farewell to fallen Police Detective Corporal, Silburn Mortimer Elias.

So packed was the church building and compound that persons who turned out to bid

their final respects to an officer they deemed a gentleman and a friend were forced to stand on the roadway, snarling vehicular traffic and causing many vehicles to wend their way through adjoining streets.

This valiant police officer was shot last week Monday while attempting to wrestle a service revolver from the hands of a priso n e r, 2 3 - y e a r- o l d D e l o n Abrams, who had earlier escaped from a police constable after disarming that rank at the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he

had been taken to seek medical attention for injuries he had received from an angry Sophia crowd that had allegedly apprehended him in a burglary.

Abrams was, however, recaptured and has since been placed before the courts, charged with the murder of the police officer.

Milling in the overflowing throng were Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell, ‘ A’ D i v i s i o n C o m m a n d e r George Vyphuis, and C Division Commander Christopher See page 8

Dozens killed in Iraq bomb attacks

(BBC News) AT LEAST 73 people have been killed in a series of bombings in central Iraq, police and medical officials say.

Sixteen died in an attack on a funeral for a pro-government Sunni militiaman in a village south of Baquba, the capital of Diyala province.

Nine car bombs meanwhile exploded across Baghdad, killing at least 37 people and wounding dozens more.

There has been a surge in

sectarian violence across Iraq in the past year, reaching levels not seen since 2007.

The United Nations says 7,818 civilians and 1,050 members of the security forces died in 2013. December alone saw at least 759 killed.

‘LONG BATTLE’ In Wednesday’s deadliest incident, a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a funeral tent in the village of Buhriz where mourners were marking the

death two days ago of a member of a local Sahwa, or Awakening Council, set up Sunni Arab tribesmen to fight al-Qaeda.

The car bomb attacks that shook Baghdad started at about 10:30 (07:30) and continued for about an hour, striking busy markets in mostly in predominantly Shia districts of the capital but also in mixed areas.

Five shoppers were killed and 12 others wounded when a car blew up at an outdoor market in the northern Shula

district, police officials said. In nearby Shaab, a car bombing killed four civilians and wounded 14.

Two car bomb blasts in separate locations in the central area of Karrada meanwhile killed six civilians and wounded 24. Another four were killed in the southern suburb of Husseiniya, and three in Maamil, to the east.

Thirteen people, including nine soldiers, were killed in and around the northern city of Mosul, according to the AFP news agency. Six of the soldiers died

when a roadside bomb was detonated as they crossed a bridge at Ain al-Jahash.

We d n e s d a y ’s v i o l e n c e comes amid a continuing standoff between security forces and Sunni militants aligned to al-Qaeda who seized control of the city of Falluja, west of Baghdad, more than two weeks ago.

The militants launched co-ordinated attacks to the north of the city on Tuesday, destroying two army tanks and capturing a police station.

Prime Minister Nouri Ma-

liki, a Shia, has vowed to eradicate the al-Qaeda affiliated Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), but has ruled out an assault on Falluja, saying residents must force the group to leave.

The militants were also reported to have made gains on Tuesday in Ramadi, the nearby capital of Anbar province, which they briefly controlled at the start of the month before being ousted by security forces and pro-government Sahwa militiamen.

Actress linked to Hollande ‘blocked from culture jury’ (BBC News) FRANCE’S government has blocked the appointment of actress Julie Gayet, linked to an affair with President Francois Hollande, to a cultural jury.

The culture ministry gave no reasons for blocking Ms Gayet from the jury, which selects scholarships for Villa

hospital since Friday with what aides call “shock”.

At a news conference on Tuesday, Mr Hollande said he was experiencing a “difficult moment” in his private life.

He refused to answer questions about the allegations, saying “private matters should be dealt with privately”.

The UN’s secretary general has urged Iraq’s leaders to address the “root causes” of the unrest

Mr Hollande’s “official” partner is Valerie Trierweiler (r), but he is alleged to have had an affair with Julie Gayet (l) Medici - the French academy in Rome.

Allegations of the affair surfaced in the magazine Closer last week.

Valerie Trierweiler, Mr Hollande’s partner, has been in

the 2014 jury last month by the director of the Academy of France in Villa Medici, Eric de Chassey.

The academy’s website announced her appointment on its website.

However, the office of Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti said on Wednesday: “Her name was put forward by Eric de Chassey... but the minister has decided not to nominate her.

The order has not been signed.”

The unpaid jury’s role is to select some 15 people to take up cultural scholarships lasting 1218 months at the Villa Medici, located in the Villa Borghese in Rome.

The academy was founded in the 17th Century and traditionally awarded scholarships to such disciplines as painting, sculpture and architecture, though in recent years it has been broadened to include literature, film, photography and other cultural areas.

On Tuesday, Mr Hollande said it was “neither the time nor the place” to answer questions about his personal life.

He said he would not be drawn on the reports of the affairs with Ms Gayet “out of respect for those involved”.

But he did say he would clarify whether Ms Trierweiler was still first lady before a trip to the US on 11 February.

Asked about her health, Mr Hollande said she was resting and that he had no further comment to make.

TRINIS SICK, LAZY Mexican vigilantes Health Minister blames citizens for creating clash with soldiers in crisis of packed hospitals Michoacan state

By Anna Ramdass

(BBC News) Many in Apatzingan fear the town will become the main focus of fighting, as Will Grant reports.

Vigilantes in Mexico have clashed with soldiers deployed in the western state of Michoacan to disarm the groups, who last week launched an offensive against the Knights Templar drug cartel.

Most groups have ignored a government order to lay down their weapons.

In the town of Antunez, they say soldiers shot dead at least

three people from the community, including an 11-year-old girl.

Vigilante groups have now taken control of large areas of Michoacan state.

There is a strong police and military presence in the town of Apatzingan, considered the stronghold of the Knights Templar cartel.

Most businesses around the town are closed in a form of self-imposed curfew, says the BBC’s Will Grant in Michoacan.

“There is no law here. The

decisions are taken here in the mountains, in the hideouts of the Knights Templar leaders,” Apatzingan Catholic priest Gregorio Lopez told the BBC. “They are the ones who decide. Here the public institutions are mere puppets,” said Father Lopez.

On Monday, Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong had a meeting with the state governor in the regional capital, Morelia, and announced the deployment of federal troops to quell the violence.

Federal police and army soldiers say they will disarm the vigilantes in Michoacan

(Trinidad Express) The people of this country are lazy, making themselves sick and have created a crisis where the hospitals are packed to capacity, says Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan.

Khan said in a telephone interview that all the hospitals, including the Port of Spain General Hospital, the San Fernando General Hospital, Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, and even the hospital in Arima, are filled and the problem of bed shortage has worsened.

The minister said this crisis has been fuelled by people’s unhealthy lifestyles coupled with an inefficient process at the hospitals where patients are being kept for longer than was necessary.

“I am looking around now and I realise unhealthy lifestyles are taking off even faster. The more I talk about it, the more people are making sure they lead unhealthy lifestyles. I think people have gotten very lazy, so once you have gotten lazy

Private sector must jump at logistics hub, says JAMPRO head Jermaine Francis, Staff Reporter (The Gleaner) Diane Edwards, president of Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), said there are enough funds available in the country to invest in projects related to the creation of a logistics hub.

She said members of the private sector have indicated to her that they have the resources, but they are not seeing the ventures in which they can invest.

“One of the meetings we have had in the last three weeks was with a group of financiers and bankers, and what they said is there is a lot of money here,” she told reporters at The Gleaner’s North Street offices in Kingston yesterday.

Relating the complaints from one of the possible investors, Edwards said: “There is money here, but there are not enough projects, [and] that’s really what the problem is.”

She added that this view is largely because investors are not taking the initiative to seek opportunities in anticipation of Jamaica becoming the fourth node in the logistics chain.

Edwards said the business community must now take the initiative and find the opportunities that are available, instead

of waiting for the Government to do everything.

“The Jamaican private sector has to take the lead on certain things. You can’t sit here

and just say, ‘OK, Government, what are you doing to prime the pump?’” she said.

She proposed a paradigm shift in which the private sec-

tor becomes more assertive and helpful in creating the sort of environment in which they can in turn profit from the logistics-hub initiative.

mentally and physically and you continue along that trend the crisis continues,” said Khan.

This problem, he said, has reached epidemic stage, noting that in “affluent” countries such as the United States, the hospital admissions are on the increase because of unhealthy lifestyles.

He noted that admissions to hospitals in Cuba were lower where the people are healthier.

Khan said, in this country, people are making themselves ill by failing to eat properly and not exercising.

“If we have the unhealthy lifestyles kicking off as we do now, then we are going to have hospitals with one bed for every member of the population because they will need it if they continue with the trend they are going and the population do not listen to the message we are sending out - love yourself, eat right, exercise and decrease your sugar and salt intake,” said Khan.

He said most of the admissions in the hospitals were actually “re-admissions”, where week after week the same people return because they do not take their medication properly and continue leading their lives without any change for the better in terms of diet and nutrition.

Khan said this was causing not only pressure on the public health system but a drain on the treasury.

“The fast food industries

and other industries are making a tonne of money while the taxpayers are paying for their indulgences,” he said.

Khan expressed disappointment and frustration at the situation, citing instances where patients are being kept at hospitals for months because of an inefficient system whereby they are waiting to have an X-ray or CT scan done.

He said doctors need to ensure that the proper investigations are carried out quickly so that there is more fluidity and patients can be treated and then sent to the clinic for follow up care.

Khan said there was no maximum period as to how long a patient can stay at a hospital but there is the situation where people “overdo it” and hug beds because of the system.

Asked if he has not intervened and given instructions that there be more efficiency and speed in the process, Khan responded, “I have been fast tracking and instructing for two and a half years but nothing is happening.”

He said disciplinary action cannot be taken because all these doctors are given high performance appraisals.

He added that there is a high admission rate on weekends because he understands that doctors do not work on Saturday and Sunday so patients are not attended to until Monday.

Something is radically wrong

EDITORIAL

The Iran deal-a great relief AN interim agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear programme will enter into force on January 20, it has been announced.

The deal, agreed in talks with world powers in November, envisages easing of some international sanctions on Tehran.

US President Barack Obama welcomed the news, but said more work was needed to strike a long-term deal. He threatened new sanctions if there was a breach.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, said the world powers would now ask the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to verify the deal’s implementation.

Baroness Ashton represents the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the US, Russia, China, France and Britain - plus Germany, in the talks with Iran.

This is certainly good news and brings a sigh of relief, because Iran was another source of tension and threat of yet another war adventure by the US and its allies. Finally, good sense prevailed and this threat of attacking Iran has receded, giving way to diplomacy which has succeeded to a great extent in diffusing the situation and averting what could have another human tragedy, although a permanent solution is yet to be clinched and this could be a bit more difficult. But a big headway has been made and negotiators should work persistently and assiduously to ensure there is a permanent and peaceful resolution to the issue. There is no other alternative, because we cannot afford to have another senseless war in the region which is already engulfed in so many wars and violent conflicts.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said that while implementation of the agreement was a critical, significant step, it was the next phase - of negotiating a comprehensive deal - that posed a “far greater challenge”, to guarantee Iran’s nuclear programme was peaceful.

“The negotiations will be very difficult, but they are the best chance that we have to be able to resolve this critical national security issue peacefully and durably.”

One of the immediate benefits of this deal is that oil prices will fall as more oil will now be released on the global market.

According to a Reuters report, Brent crude slipped to $106 a barrel on Wednesday after hitting a two-month low as the prospect of a possible rise in Iranian oil exports weighed in.

Investors looked ahead to weekly oil inventories data from the United States to assess shorter term supply.

“If the 4 million fall in API crude inventories is vastly different from the EIA, then we may see prices move,” said Christopher Bellew, an analyst at brokerage Jefferies Bache in London.

“WTI has become disconnected and represents very much the domestic prices in the U.S. and Brent represents global demand and geo-political factors like potentially more Iranian exports.”

February Brent crude was down 21 cents to $106.18 a barrel by 1330 GMT, after hitting its lowest level since November 12 at $105.80 a barrel.

Of course, the spinoff benefits from oil price decrease to the consumer will be great, because the cost of transportation of goods and services should decrease and so too should oil and oil-based products.

In what is considered a civilised and modern world, negotiations and diplomacy should always be the desired method of resolving conflicts. Wars and violent resolution of conflicts should not be even considered an option anymore as they have resulted in too many tragedies and human suffering as experience has shown and is still showing.

SOMETHING is radically and outrageously wrong with my country. When I make this statement I am referring to the brazen and outlandish things that are allowed to take place and no one seems to care. Note my words “allowed to take place” because, there is no way these things should ever take place or at least if they do, they should be dealt with swiftly and in the sternest possible way the minute it raises its head.

Blatant wrongs are committed and criminals get away with it, then I am forced to believe that the right automatically becomes the wrong and the wrong right. Outrageous! It’s all happening in this “great” country called Guyana, right

before our very eyes. I refer to the recent uproar in Magistrate Ann McClennan’s court when the murder case involving the four accused was called.

As reported, the four accused in the Fiedtkou Parris case started a brave ruckus after charges were read. One of the accused began the pandemonium by repeating the words “how can a dead man’s testimony be taken into evidence ... bare sh**t man bare sh**t.”

I believe this guy was relying on the outrageous court case that Fabayo Azore dealt with, when, at the third hearing promptly freed the criminal citing the flimsy excuse of the non-attendance of a police investigator. I am sure the accused had this matter fresh in

his mind and in like manner expected this magistrate to do the same, but she didn’t, hence the continuing onslaught. The other accused then took it upon himself to hurl expletives at the magistrate intermingled with a murderous threat “we gun find y’all when we come out ... we gat family that can f**k y’all up.” At that stage instead of slapping the foul-mouthed low lives with additional charges, this magistrate simply asked for the prisoners to be escorted out of the courtroom. Fantastic!

This falls nothing short of shocking and outrageous, that a prisoner can openly threaten a magistrate in full view of onlookers and get away with it.

This is indeed frightening to say the least. This constitutes what I

would call “the epitome of lawlessness” as our country is now overrun by thugs, bandits and criminals. What I would advise the learned magistrate to do is to slap those additional charges at the next hearing and send a clear message that the court is not in any way intimidated by their tirades. Magistrate McClennan must send a clear message that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated; failing this, we as a society would be in big trouble.

As a follow up to the Barton case and Magistrate Fabayo Azore, what has become of both individuals? Is she still a practising magistrate and is he still a freed man? It is interesting to know.

NEIL ADAMS

Suggestions on what the government should do this year GOVERNMENT must work continuously to show by its actions, its determination to base its governance on at least three basic principles: Equality, Accountability and Transparency. In its implementation of these principles, it must do the following: 1. Provide full information on projects, programmes and decisions in a clear, timely and as widespread a manner as possible. .

Timely updates on projects should be given, whether there is something new to report or not. Criticisms must be answered fully and immediately to avoid misinformation to continue too long.

2. Recognise that public perception may be as important as the reality. The President must view his ministers and appointees mainly as public servants not members of his party. All public servants must be held to one common performance standards of Responsibility, Competency, Effectiveness and Fairness. Failure to be proactive in properly overseeing projects and programmes from conception to implementation should result in at least a reprimand, or at worse termination or some appropriate, punitive action.

3. Any corruption claims must be treated seriously and investigated in as transparent a manner as possible and the results fully reported on. Government must admit mistakes publicly, and state what steps are being taken to correct them and what caused the mistake to be made 4. The President must respond to bills sent to him within the required time with an appropriate explanation. Government must adhere strictly to the laws, if it is to be seen as a supporter of such laws.

5. The government as elected public servants must be seen to serve the people and not a party or personality. They must always be seen as seeking Co-operation, Reconciliation and Inclusion from all stakeholders and parties in carrying out their responsibilities. Government must concentrate more on constructive public engagement and less on the opposition motives and actions. Let the people judge the results, not the political promises.

6. Establish a “Minimum Living Standard”, using all existing programmes to prevent as many as possible from going homeless, hungry or without basic medical attention. To support such a policy, government must use whatever resources it has to both improve and expand services to the least among the poor and increase their job opportunities.

7. More aggressively push to expand promising pilot projects into job- creating businesses by providing loans, investments and encouraging local and foreign investments in joint ventures. Like the Marriott Hotel, why not invest or partner with other existing or proposed ventures in agriculture and other areas to spur and expand development and job growth. Efforts must be made to sponsor investment missions from multinational companies with diversified interests to explore the various investment possibilities in Guyana from India and other countries.

8. Demand better service and value for money spent. Enforce the laws and take action against littering, public utilities theft, squatting, vandalism, incompetence and incivility in the public service and against law-breaking businesses that fail to pay taxes or fail to follow labour and other laws. Ministers and other officials must act not just react to situations.

9. Quickly establish an Investment Development Fund to sell shares to Guyanese and overseas investors to help provide capital for start-up and existing businesses. There should be investment in value added, processing, manufacturing and transportation ventures, and in other areas are solely needed. Make sure Guyana gets its fair share of its resources.

10. Establish a Commission to independently review existing recommendations and plans for the entire justice system starting with prevention methods, investigation, prosecution, incarcera-

tion to rehabilitation. The chain is as strong as its weakest link.

It is the quality of personnel, motivation, remuneration, training, equipment and leadership in all areas that must be evaluated and addressed within the limited financial resources of government.

It is time to re-valuate and restructure the entire system and not just patch parts or talk of plans without some proof of visible improvement, starting with effective leadership in some of these areas. Justice delayed is justice denied. Time to start looking at both the leadership and the level of performance under them..

What criteria were used to select the four individuals for the head coach?

IT is often said “it is not doing things that matters, but rather the way it is done is what matters most!” Within this context, reference is hereby made to the above caption as it relates to the publication of an article in SN 08.01.14 captioned: “Golden Jaguars TD, head coach to be named soon – GFF president Christopher Matthias” by Duncan Saul.

Wherein the publication of four names: Wayne Dover, Dwain Babb, Brian Joseph and Denzil Thompson of Alpha United, Santos, Milerock and GDF respectively are the contenders to fill the vacancy of head coach of the Golden Jaguars. Editor, from a layman’s standpoint this can be interpreted to be for the senior national team!

Three of the four individuals are from Georgetown and the other from Upper Demerara, Milerock’s – Brian Joseph. By the way, of the four individuals shortlisted, what level of certification exists i.e. English FA – B Licence or a CONCACAF Elite Coaching Certificate; not necessarily of participation, rather with a passing grade of an acceptable level that can hold its own within the CFU! Finally, with the sad state of local football at present, albeit the absence of a Senior League Competition, in most Associations how can the consistent performance of a coach be evaluated as a worthy contender to fill the vacancy as head coach? Would the next best option be the GFF 16-team Premier League, and the success of his club? And please for “heaven’s sake”, the recently concluded GFA Banks Beer Cup K.O ought not to be brought into the equation.

Since meaningful success of a club can’t be measured by its financial strength to attract foreigners as guest/loan players!

Can Milerock afford it? Or will GDF encourage it? Was the submission of a training programme by the contenders a prerequisite? Why is it a major hurdle has been cleared, whereby no coaching assignment at the junior level (assistant or head) but rather straight to seniors?

AG NANDLALL REPLIES TO RAMJATTAN’S SCANDALOUS REMARKS

I READ with some disquiet a most detailed epistle in the Stabroek News, authored by Mr.Khemraj Ramjattan, attorney-at-law, in respect of the case filed by Bashir Mohamed against the Chief Works Officer and the Attorney General.

I remain mystified as to the reason why the letter was written in the first place. The matter concluded in the Court of Appeal by virtue of a Notice of Withdrawal and Discontinuance filed by Mr.Ramjattan himself, presumably, upon the instructions of his client.

In his letter, however, Mr.Ramjattan has made some

aware of any “settlement” or that there were any “negotiations” with anyone for and on behalf of the Government of Guyana and Mr.Ramjattan’s client. I know Mr.Ramjattan’s client, personally, as I was one of his attorneys-at-law when I was in private practice.

Mr.Ramjattan’s client called me on, or about the 2nd day of January 2014, and informed me that he is no longer desirous of pursuing the case; that he will pull down his fence and reconstruct same in accordance with the boundaries, measurements and specifications put forward by the Government. I informed him to so instruct his lawyer as early as is reasonably possible and to request his lawyer to file the requisite legal documents

ANIL NANDLALL ATTORNEY GENERAL scandalous remarks which I feel compelled to counteract for the public record.

1. Mr.Ramjattan contends that his client informed him that “The other side and myself worked out a settlement after days of negotiation. They want it confidential, I am happy with that, sir, please withdraw.”

Assuming, that Mr.Ramjattan and his client had such a conversation, I believe that Mr. Ramjattan’s client’s request for confidentiality would have ethically and legally prevented Mr. Ramjattan from disclosing same, publicly. However, that is a matter for Mr.Ramjattan and his client.

For the record, I am un-

he was instructed by his client to withdraw the proceedings and that he will do so shortly.

He eventually did so on the 7th of January 2014. As far as I am aware, the aforesaid is all that transpired between the Government of Guyana and Mr. Bashir Mohamed in respect of this matter.

2. I am at a loss in attempting to understand the relevance of the long recitation by Mr.Ramjattan of what transpired in court. Unfortunately, he chose to put that in the public domain but even more unfortunately, jaundiced the recitation with his own prejudices. I will now seek to inject some objectivity. At the

KHEMRAJ RAMJATTAN

to formally withdraw the proceedings.

On or about the 4th day of January, 2014, I contacted Mr.Ramjattan by phone and informed him of his client’s telephone conversation with me and drew to his attention the fact that I was not yet in receipt of any Notice of Withdrawal and Discontinuance which he may have filed. He informed me that he is unaware of his client’s intention to withdraw the proceedings. I immediately made contact with Mr. Mohamed and informed him of the content of the conversation which I had with Mr.Ramjattan. Mr. Mohamed promised to make contact with Mr. Ramjattan immediately. Subsequently, Mr. Ramjattan informed me that

hearing which took place on December 27th, 2013, I advanced the following arguments: a) The court had no jurisdiction to make the Order which was made and that it was the first duty of any court to satisfy itself that it has jurisdiction in any given cause or matter; b) the contention of Mr. Ramjattan, that a party must first purge his alleged contempt before being heard, is a position which has been departed from in many modern cases and is a rule that has extremely limited application and is not applicable to the case at hand; c) in any event, contempt proceedings must be properly

filed and that there must be a finding of contempt by a court of competent jurisdiction properly moved for that purpose before the rule can be applied in any given case; d) and that it would be impossible to establish contempt in this matter in so far as the Order of Court was never personally served on either defendant and no Penal Notice was endorsed on the said Order, making same incapable of enforcement.

In my humble view, those were contentions that are most elementary and could have

been ruled upon immediately.

However, the court ordered an Affidavit to be filed.

3. Mr. Ramjattan’s assertion that the Ministry of Public Works is attempting to persuade Transport holders not to pursue legal proceedings for compensations is speculative in the least and reckless and wrong, at worst. Certain statutory officers located within the Ministry of Public Works are endowed with statutory powers to demolish all or any buildings, erections, structures and encumbrances that are on Road Reserves, Government Reserves or on

7

State lands. Those officers are advised to exercise those powers, whenever and wherever necessary. Of course, anyone aggrieved is free to approach the court to seek legal redress.

Hopefully, they retain counsel of prudence who will advise them whether or not they have a good case, and if so, counsel will utilise the proper legal procedure in approaching the court and will not err as the Chief Justice ruled that Mr. Ramjattan did in the case at hand.

LGRD Ministry to focus on Murder charge against brother follows all night drinking vendors optimising use of market facilities provided

By Geeta Rampersaud

By Savitri Laikram

MAJOR focus will this year be placed on optimising the use of the market tarmacs and facilities constructed for vendors, as well as enforcing stronger

Minister within the Local Government Ministry Norman Whittaker laws to remove vendors who sell illegally.

Minister within the Local Government Ministry, Norman Whittaker, adumbrated this vision for the municipalities at a recent press conference at the ministry’s Kingston office, where he blamed the roadside vendors for having contributed significantly to solid waste issues on roadsides and street corners, and pointed out that it was unfair for illegal occupants to cause municipalities additional expenses to clean up after them.

Acknowledging that the constructed facilities are underutilised, the minister said the LGRD Ministry would work to correct that. He declared that the unclean conditions in which roadside vendors operate is totally unacceptable, and added that

they impede traffic and hinder pedestrians.

Local Government, Minister Ganga Persaud outlined that illegal vending is indeed a major focus for the LGRD Ministry, but he promised that in 2014 much

Local Government Minister Ganga Persaud more emphasis would be placed on this, as well as on enforcement of the by-laws for persons who

refuse to adhere to the rules.

He said that public and individual notices will be served to such persons, to inform the law breakers of their infringement in an effort to have them desist from breaking the law.

The minister said the LGRD Ministry is actively considering to invest in installing security cameras in and around the facilities in order to provide necessary protection to the vendors, who complain about breakage of stalls and theft on a weekly basis, some even “pointing fingers” at constabulary officers and security personnel. He said this initiative has been implemented at the Bartica Market, and since the cameras have been installed, there has been no reported or recorded breakage into that market.

He stressed that it is vital for the councils to provide necessary protection to the vendors who operate in the various markets.

ALPHONSO Kaitan (no address given) appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday, charged with the murder of his brother, Aloysius Kaitan, on Thursday, January 9, at Katooka Village, North Rupununi.

Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, told the court that on the day in question, the siblings and three friends were consuming alcoholic beverages at the home of the victim. They imbibed until at about 01:30 hrs the following morning, when the accused decided to go home but the other Kaitan insisted that he remain.

A scuffle ensued between the two Kaitans, and Alphonso allegedly stabbed Aloysius to his left side abdomen, and the latter died as a result of the injury.

The case was transferred to Lethem Court, in the Rupununi, for March 3, and the prisoner was remanded to prison.

Two robbery under arms defendants remanded until Jan 27 despite tearfully entreating the VC

By Geeta Rampersaud TWENTY-one-year-old Trevor Barrow (no address given), and Charles Rollins of Lot 15 Third Street, Agricola, Greater Georgetown appeared before Georgetown Magistrate Ms Judy Latchman and pleaded not guilty to the charge of robbery under arms.

It was alleged that on Sunday, January 12, being together and armed, they robbed Althea Bailey of two cellular phones

valued $45,000.

The prosecutor successfully objected to bail, citing the seriousness and prevalence of the offence, and the alleged use of a gun in the commission of the crime.

He expressed fear that, if granted pre-trial freedom, they may tamper with the witness, since they had been trying to talk with the virtual complainant before the case was called.

Rollins said he is a vendor and a father of four, with a

pending assault matter before another court.

Prior to the case being called, the court was adjourned and the two defendants took the opportunity to kneel in the dock, crying and trying to convince Bailey that they did not steal the phones.

Police warned them several times about their loud entreaties, disturbing other proceedings in the complex.

Eventually, they were refused bail and remanded until January 27.

Yesterday’s atmosphere was palpably emotional, and tears flowed unabashedly down the faces of police personnel and civilians alike.

At one point it also became difficult for the senior police officers to restrain their emotions as they bid farewell to a fearless colleague who had literally gone down fighting.

Among the activities which marked Corporal Elias’s send-off were an abundance of tributes, scripture readings, singing of hymns, saying of prayers, and the ceremony which was done by Pastor Kwame Elias.

The late Police Detective Corporal Silburn Mortimer Elias was interred at the Haslington Cemetery. He leaves to mourn his grieving two children, wife and other relatives and friends.

ANDREW Taylor (no address given) was yesterday sentenced to 56 months’ imprisonment for robbery with aggravation.

Before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates Court, the 35-year-old prisoner pleaded guilty to the offence that, on Saturday, December 28 last, at La Penitence Market in Georgetown, he robbed Kataya Da Silva of his motor car.

Police Sergeant Vishnu Hunt, prosecuting, said that on the day in question, at around 13:00 hrs, the virtual complainant was at La Penitence Market removing some bags from the trunk of motor vehicle PRR 7690 when he heard the engine start and, upon checking, he saw Taylor in the driving seat.

Da Silva held on to the side of the vehicle, attempting to hold the steering wheel and prevent the vehicle from moving any further, but Taylor dealt him a cuff to his mouth and continued driving, dragging the latter for several metres before Da Silva managed to raise an alarm and public-spirited citizens came to his rescue. Among Da Silva’s rescuers was a licensed firearm holder who fired two shots in the air, and Taylor subsequently crashed and exited the vehicle.

He attempted to escape through Fourth Street, Alexander Village, but was apprehended by police.

Claiming he was under the influence of cocaine, Taylor offered to compensate the virtual complainant, and begged the court for leniency.

Magistrate Latchman said she had taken into consideration the convict’s plea, since he did not waste the court’s time and had accepted responsibility for the offence.

President Ramotar bids farewell to PPP stalwart

By Leroy Smith PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar, General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic, Clement Rohee and other senior party members yesterday bid their final farewell to Ramdeo Sahadeo, also known as ‘Fenny’, former deputy head of the Berbice Anti-Smuggling Squad (BASS) and PPP stalwart.

Also present at the funeral were radio announcer, Ossie Rogers, Executive Secretary of the PPP, Zulfikar Mustapha, and other party activists. ‘Fenny’ as he is popularly known passed away last week after a brief illness.

In his address in the presence of a large gathering at the home of the fallen party stalwart, President Ramotar reflected on the unwavering approach of Sahadeo in the execution of both his professional work as an anti-smuggling agent and a party worker.

The Head of State recalled that ‘Fenny’ was also a silent hero who fought for freedom and democracy years ago, which many Guyanese now have the privilege of enjoying. He also noted that ‘Fenny’ had always displayed a high level of commitment since they had their first encounter back in the 1970s while working for the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO).

President Ramotar also reminded the mourners that ‘Fenny’ came from a family which was actively involved in the struggles to ensure the freedom which workers, especially in the sugar industry, enjoy today.

President Rasmotar expressed his deepest sadness at the passing of Sahadeo.

Meanwhile, PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee in his remarks also praised the work of Sahadeo as he hailed him as one of the residents of Enmore who had never questioned tasks assigned to him.

Rohee said that the party needs more Ramdeo Sahadeos who will carry out the work of the party without questioning, while remaining on the side of justice and peace as the fallen comrade.

Route 31 bus drivers take strike action to press $20 fare increase

By Vanessa Narine and Tamica Garnet

COMMUTERS on the West Bank of Demerara suffered transportation woes yesterday after public transport operators took massive strike action.

Drivers on Route 31, West Bank to Georgetown, as well as hire cars on the Patentia to Vreed-en-Hoop route are demanding a $20 increase in fares. The fare from Patentia to Georgetown is currently $140, while the fare from Patentia to Vreed-en-Hoop stands at $120.

This is the third route where drivers are demanding an increase in fares, Route 32 being the first reported in December and Route 44 following with a fare hike earlier this month.

Yesterday many, including school children, using Route 31 were left stranded as the buses and cars remained parked at the bus tarmac in Patentia.

In the meantime, many of the affected commuters were forced to return home.

One commuter, a school t e a c h e r a t a G e o rg e t o w n school, said, “We were out there not getting any transportation and have to go home back, we can’t go to work.

They (transport operators) said that they are striking because they need an increase in fare, which may be justifiable or not, but in the future if they need to do something like this then they need to give people adequate notice.”

NOT WAITING ON GOV’T The drivers contend that the costs for gasoline and vehicle maintenance justify their demands for the increase.

One driver, speaking to the Guyana Chronicle, said, “If we are to be real is only the Government gas station (GuyOil)

that sells gas for under $1,000.

“If you don’t intend to go ‘til to Providence to buy it, you don’t pay that. We operate on the West Bank. There is no GuyOil on the West Bank.”

Another driver explained that some 75 per cent of the drivers on Route 31 are in support of the strike action, maintaining that it is not economically viable for drivers to continue to offer services at the current price.

He said, “We are not waiting on the government to tell us whether we can or cannot, we are implementing the $20 more. School children, we will be taking half price once they’re under the age of 12.

“If the government is going to force us to work at the old price then the government has got to implement something to compensate us.”

The driver noted that some passengers have complied with the increase, but insist that it is something the government has to pronounce on.

Several of the drives who spoke to the Guyana Chronicle maintained that the strike action will continue if the majority of the commuters refuse to pay.

NO WORD

Attempts by the Guyana Chronicle to contact the Head of Consumer Affairs Muriel Tinnis, up to press time, proved futile.

And acting Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Irfaan Ali continues to remain quiet on what firmer actions are being taken to curb the worrying trend.

Following the increases on Route 32, the last word from Ali on the matter was that an advisory was issued by the ministry, which urged persons to report the unsanctioned increases to either the police or the Tourism Ministry.

He stated that police of-

ficers will be asked to act to enforce the current and approved fare structure and prevent unfair demands by the transport operators.

FARE ADVISORY NOT ENOUGH However, even as Minister Ali dubs the increases both “unsanctioned and are unjustified,” members of the public maintain that an advisory is not enough to rectify the situation.

This newspaper understands that while the advisory was issued and some complaints made, not much was done to address the situation by the ministry, much to the chagrin of commuters.

Among commuters are school children, who already face difficulties with the public transport system and now have the added burden of increased fares.

L a s t S a t u r d a y, w h e n asked by this newspaper if a meeting will be held with the United Minibus Association and the Combined Road Transportation Association for Route 32 to address the situation, Minister Ali’s response was non-committal.

Ali in December told the Guyana Chronicle that there is no way the Route 32 drivers can unilaterally decide to increase fares, adding that there have been no consultations with the association on the matter.

He made it clear that the ministry has a standing agreement with the Minibus Association, which clearly states that in the absence of increases in gas prices, there cannot be an increase in fares.

Unilateral fare hikes by minibus operators has been an issue of concern in the last three years, with some incidents resulting in strike actions that left hundreds of commuters stranded.

A section of the mourners make their way to the Good Hope Cremation site on the East Coast where the body of Sahadeo was cremated

Four accused in stepfather murder case to know fate today

By George Barclay

LAWYER Glenn Hanoman, in a battle for the freedom of the four accused in the stepfather murder case yesterday accused the police of constructing their case on the basis of gossip.

According to Hanoman, the deceased Motilall Singh who was allegedly sporting with a lot of money could have been a victim of robbery, a source which the police never investigated.

Instead, they concentrated on securing confession statements from two of the accused by means of violence.

However, senior prosecuting counsel, Mrs. Judith Gildharie-Mursalin in referring to the gossip contention said that in every gossip there is a line of truth and claimed that the evidence against the four accused was overwhelming.

She exhorted the jury to take with them the confession statements to the jury room when they retire to consider their verdict and to read them properly.

According to Gildharie-Mursalin, when they would have done that, and together with the summing-up and directions from the trial judge, they would inevitably come to a conclusion that the four accused are guilty of the crime of murder.

The accused Bissoondial Mahadeo, also called ‘Weedman’, Bibi Shamiza, called ‘Sham’, Hoosman Khan, called ‘Strongman’, and Bibi Farida Khan, called ‘Pum’, are accused of having on the 7th September, 2009, at Windsor Forest, West Coast of Demerara murdered Motilall Singh, because it is alleged

he wanted to sell out the house with them inside.

Following the ruling in the no-case submissions, the four accused made unsworn statements from the dock.

Number one accused Bissoondial Mahadeo and number three accused Hoosman Khan who allegedly made statements admitting their participation in the crime, said in their statements that the police used violence on them to obtain the statements.

And defence counsel Hanoman , representing Mahadeo, called as a defence witness Corporal Anan Persaud Sookho who testified that he had accompanied Mahadeo from the police station to the Georgetown Prison, where in his presence, Mahadeo had told the receptionist at the prison that he had an injury to the face.

The witness said that he asked the prisoner why he did not speak to one of the officers about the incident, but Mahadeo remained silent.

Under cross-examination

by Prosecuting counsel Gilldharie-Mursalin, Corporal Sookho was asked whether he heard Mahadeo tell the receptionist about any blows received on his buttocks or any part of his body. The corporal replied, “No”.

After this answer, Hanoman applied to the court to have the witness deemed hostile so that he could c ro s s - e x a m i n e h i m . T h e judge found that the application was not justified.

Earlier in the trial Police Sergeant Narine Lall disclosed that the number one accused Bissoondial Mahadeo told him in his caution statement: “Six days prior to the murder he was with his friend ‘Little’’ at Windsor Forest

talking with him and his wife Shamiza.

“He then said that they told him that they wanted him to kill ‘Uncle Motie’ because he wants to sell out the house with them inside and that there would be a good chance when Motie was returning home from drinking that night.

“Little tell meh that if meh go with he pon the work, he gon give me $100,000 and me tell he alright. Sir, this morning about 10 ‘o’ clock me bin deh home when Little come and call me and tell meh that all the arrangements in place,” Mahadeo said in the statement.

“Sir me see he with a black handle knife and me and he walk and go to the Windsor Forest First Street - awee sid down pon the roadside bench and ten minutes after one bus stop on the public road and me see Motie and he cousin Hoosman come out.

When they reach next to me and Little, Little scramble Motie on he neck and start juk he. Motie start fight back and Little shout for me. Then me help Little hold Motie and he gave him couple more juks in he belly and me see he fell down and after that me run and go home,” the statement said.

Lawyer Hanoman is appearing for Mahadeo, while Mr. Bernard De Santos, S.C., is appearing for the other three accused.

After calling a medex of the Georgetown Prison to give evidence, the defence counsel addressed the jury yesterday.

After the Prosecutrix replied, trial Judge, Mr. Justice Navindra Singh decided that he would begin his address to the jury this morning.

LGRD Ministry identifies obstacles to delivery of computable services

by NDCs and RDCs countrywide

By Savitri Laikram

THE Ministry of Local Government & Regional Development (LGRD) has identified a number of important issues hindering the delivery of computable services at the level of the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs), Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs) and municipalities throughout the country.

At a recent press conference at the Ministry’s Kingston office, Minister within the Local Government Ministry, Norman Whittaker, outlined that these issues must be addressed towards ensuring better delivery of services to citizens in 2014.

Minister Whittaker stressed that, going into 2014, the LGRD Ministry would like to see more interaction between the municipalities and the residents. He said that in 2013, none of the municipalities performed to the ministry’s expectation; and moreover, they were unable to realise the budgeted amount of revenue due to a number of reasons.

The minister said those reasons included the lack of effort by councillors and the attitude of residents towards paying. He deemed the scarce interaction between residents and councillors a “cut-off”, and advised that improved interaction would provide better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the councils, and the projects they are implementing.

He emphasised the need for councillors to plan effectively and execute those plans efficiently if the projects are to be suc-

cessful.

Minister Whittaker said that a vision of the LGRD Ministry regarding municipalities in 2014 is to see them establish a proactive debt collection department, to reach out in compassionate ways to those owing outstanding debts and impressing on them the challenges faced by the ministry and the need and importance for the revenue to be collected. Debt collectors should be actively involved, as, when persons see services, they would be encouraged to pay their debts, the minister said.

He outlined that the ministry appreciates the need for re-evaluation of properties, as buildings that were previously classified as residential need to be re-classified because they may be business operations, and this reclassification will ensure an increase in revenue as well.

He encouraged councillors to brainstorm ideas to effectively carry out this initiative.

Permanent Secretary of the LGRD Ministry, Collin Croal, noted that the ministry intends to work more and see a better level of transparency and timely preparation of minutes at the level of the Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs).

He also emphasised the need for accountability within the entities.

He highlighted the RDC’s role in the regional tender board, in implementation of the district tender boards, and in the Local Government Election as those that would see meetings between the ministry and the RDCs in 2014.

Meanwhile, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud, added that the LGRD ministry’s vision for the NDCs is focused on enhancing their revenue base.

He disclosed that the LGRD Ministry would be working with all 65 NDCs, within the first quarter of the year, to establish 17 district tender boards which would deal with procurement of goods and services within the parameters of $100,000 to $249,999.

The ministry would also work with the NDCs in 2014 to enhance community relations and expand their regional solid waste programme; and officers at various levels will also have the advantage of accessing training.

Rice sector not affected by recent heavy rainfall Police rank under close arrest after

alleged sexual torture of detainee …other ranks implicated to be removed by weekend

By Leroy Smith COMMISSIONER of Police Leroy Brumell said that he is very disturbed at the details unfolding with respect to reports that a member of the Guyana Police Force had sexually brutalised 23-yearold Colwyn Harding.

During an interview with the Guyana Chronicle yesterday morning, the Police Commissioner said that when he was first informed of the matter by a relative of the young man, he was told that the police had assaulted the prisoner and he then ordered ‘A’ Division Commander George Vyphus to launch an immediate investigation.

The Top Cop said that it was after media reports surfaced that he became aware of the nature and gravity of

Commissioner Leroy Brumell the incident.

Brumell said that he then instructed the Police Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) to investigate the matter, even as the ‘A’ Division Commander had already commenced

an investigation.

This newspaper was told that all the paperwork and statements which were taken from persons during the initial investigation which was launched by the ‘A’ Division Commander were sent to the OPR. Following the investigation and findings of the OPR, the file will be sent to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions where advice on charges is expected to be given.

Meanwhile, Brumell made it clear that the issue will not be swept under the carpet and those who are to face the heat will not be shielded.

He confirmed that the police rank who has been accused of sexually torturing the man has been removed from the police station and is at present under

close arrest. Moreover, Brumell said, he has instructed ‘A’ Division Commander to have all those ranks implicated in the matter to be removed from the station at Timehri by this weekend.

Brumell said further that he is saddened at what has happened to the young man, noting that it was a very cruel and distasteful act on the part of the police officer and those who condoned him.

He however noted that such rogue behaviour is not restricted to the Guyana Police Force but other armed forces around the world and the police here have been trying their utmost to rid the institution of unsavoury elements who embarrass the organisation and by extension the country, breeding mistrust among the citizens.

Police still investigating torture claim

COGNISANT of publications made by the media in relation to an alleged assault of one Colwyn Harding by a police rank at the Timehri Police Station, the Guyana Police Force wishes to make the following statement.

Colwyn Harding was in police custody between November 15 and November 18, 2013, at the Timehri Police Station, pending investigations into a report of break and enter and larceny. During that period, he committed the offences of assaulting a peace officer and disorderly behaviour for which he was charged and appeared in court on November 18, 2013.

Colwyn Harding was placed on bail in the sum of $50,000, but he was unable to raise this sum and was remanded to prison.

The matters are still before the court.

The administration of the Police Force was first informed of the alleged assault by the police of Colwyn Harding by way of a text message from a female to the Commissioner of Police during

December 2013.

Consequently, an investigation was launched by the Divisional Commander of ‘A’ Division under which the Timehri Police Station falls, but this has been found to be incomplete.

The Commissioner of Police has now directed that the Police Office of Professional Responsibility take over the investigation which is expected to be completed shortly.

In the meanwhile, the policeman who has been accused of the alleged assault has been placed under close arrest and a number of other ranks stationed at the Timehri Police Station have been transferred to other police locations.

The Guyana Police Force wishes to emphatically state that unbecoming behaviour by members of the Force will not be tolerated and condign action will be taken against any rank found culpable of such action.

THE heavy rainfall over the last few days has not affected the rice sector, according General Secretary of the Guyana Rice Producers Association (RPA), Mr. Dharamkumar Seeraj.

He reported that farmers in Region 5 (Demerara/ Mahaica) were the most recent grouping to voice concerns of the lack of water to facilitate sowing of the year’s first crop.

“We had a meeting with the farmers and are looking at ways to assist,” he said.

Sowing in Region 5, as well as 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne) is still to be completed, Seeraj disclosed.

However, the RPA General Secretary acknowledged that the process is finished in Regions 2 (Pomeroon/ Supenaam) and 3 (Essequibo Islands/West Demerara), with a small acreage in Region 4 (Demerara/Mahaica) still unfinished.

Commenting about the losses in Region 2, following the breach of the main drainage dam in Airy Hall, Essequibo Coast, which flooded some 350 acres of rice land, Seeraj said approximately 223 acres of produce was lost.

“This is young rice. The older rice was able to handle being under water for a little longer,” he pointed out.

Seeraj explained that, depending on the variety sown, the rice lands can withstand major damage for up to 36 hours.

“We have advised the farmers in the area not to sow again, because the crop will come in late. But some of them have expressed the desire to go ahead with sowing.

“We can advise but at the end of the day the final decision is up to the farmers,” he admitted.

The production target for this first 2014 harvest is 270,000 tonnes and RPA’s General Secretary expressed confidence of meeting it.

The total produced for 2013 was 535,212 tonnes, which was far above the original target of 413,000 tonnes and reflected a 27 percent increase over that in 2012.

PSC to release position statement on LEAD project soon

- stakeholder meetings concluded

By Vanessa Narine CHAIRMAN of the Private Sector Commission, Ronald Webster confirmed that the Commission has concluded its stakeholder meetings over the controversial $300m USAID-funded Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) project.

He told the Guyana Chronicle that having met with representatives from the United States Embassy, the Commission met with President Donald Ramotar, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, and Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce (ag) Irfaan Ali on Monday.

Webster said, “We have met with the Government on the matter and have listened to both sides. Right now the Commission has to sit down and discuss the issues before we take a public position on the matter and we expect to do so before the end of the week.”

On a personal note, he said that any form of disruptions, like those caused by the controversy over the project, feeds antagonism and at all costs this should be avoided. Webster added that both sides need to sit down, review the differing views and move ahead.

PRIVATE SECTOR SUPPORT President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Clinton Urling as well as other leading voices in the private sector have come out in support of the project, despite the Government’s rejection of it.

Former Chairman of the PSC Gerry Gouveia has noted that the Government needs to explain more clearly why they reject the project and should take steps to restore the good relations with the United States.

ISSUE NOT INSURMOUNTABLE Meanwhile, Head of the Presidential Secretariat and Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon at his last post-Cabinet press conference, acknowledged that the issue is not an “insurmountable” one.

However, Luncheon made it clear that there will be no negotiations under duress.

Government has since written to the Ambassador seeking clarification following reports that aspects of the rejected USAID Leadership and Democracy Project were still being implemented, despite the administration’s objection to its design. The response received from the US embassy called on the Government to engage the US on aspects, such as the design, of the project.

There has been no word since on the status of the project.

D

ESPITE the continued heavy downpour yesterday morning in Georgetown, the city was not seriously affected by flooding and it was business as usual for most persons.

The busy Regent Street was normal with a hub of activities despite heavy rainfall in the morning and some light showers during the day. Compared to some major flooding last Tuesday, just a few streets were flooded in some commercial and residential areas of the city, including Alberttown, Queenstown, East La Penitence, Ruimveldt, and Wortmanville.

Workers and schoolchildren alike were seen braving

the heavy rainfall in the morning, with some making their way through flooded streets to go about their daily activities.

However, 12 schools in Georgetown and one in Region 3 (Essequibo Islands/ West Demerara) remained closed yesterday as a result o f s e v e re r a i n f a l l Tu e s day, which caused flooding of their compounds.

Those schools were: Tutorial High, East Ruimveldt Secondary, Bishops’ High, Queenstown Secondary, St. Rose’s High, St. Ambrose Primary, St. Gabriel’s Primary, St. Agnes Primary, Comenius Primary, St. Sidwell’s Primary, South Road N u r s e r y, H a p p y H e a r t s Nursery; while Vreed-enHoop Secondary was closed in Region 3.

In a press release yesterday from the Ministry of Education, it advised that after the recession of flood waters and a series of clean-up exercises, the following schools will be re-opened today: East Ruimveldt Secondary,Tutorial High School,North Georgetown Secondary, Bishops’ High, St Stanislaus College, Comenius Primary, St Gabriel’s Primary, St.Sidwell’s Primary, and Starter’s Nursery.

The Education Ministry said that some schools are not ready to be re-opened today and as a result will remain closed. Those schools are: St. Rose’s High, Queenstown Secondary, St. Amb r o s e P r i m a r y, S t A g n e s Primary, St Angela’s Primary, South Road Nursery,

Bishops’ High School was one of the schools in Georgetown that was closed flooding on Tuesday.

Sherman Nursery, and Happy Hearts Nursery.

Public Relations Officer of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council, Royston King, speaking to the Guya n a C h ro n i c l e s a i d d u e to the heavy rainfall and high tide on Tuesday and

also the downpour Monday night, there has been overtopping in certain parts of the city, particularly in low- lying areas.

He said there has been flooding in places like the Bourda area, and one of the major contributors is the

build-up of garbage, and to this end, he emphasised that a strong and solid partnership is needed between the City Council, citizens of Georgetown, and all other stakeholders.

King noted that $1M is spent each day to clean

d due to heavy rainfall and the city but “the problem is keeping the city clean�, and people have to be responsible and refrain from dumping g a rb age b ecause t his c a use s blockage of the drains and trenches and even has health risks.

He said they have been trying to do their best; and all the sluices in the city are operational, while the pumps are working except for one at JP Santos which is being fixed right away.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, some residents along Dennis Street to Duncan Street and Sheriff S t re e t t o M i d d l e t o n S t re e t ,Campbellville had as much as two feet of water in their homes causing millions of dollars in damage due to the collapse of a culvert between Dennis and Middleton Streets, which prevented the water from flowing into the main drainage canal.

Guyana Chronicle employee Akash Persaud, who lives in Dennis Street, said he had more than eight inches of water in his home.

He said residents were trying to clear the culvert when some Ministry of Public Works officers came to their aid and brought an excavator to remove the damaged culvert, thereby providing some relief to the residents.

A weather brief from the Hydrometeorological Service

The damaged culvert which broke between Dennis and Middleton Streets. said that today mostly cloudy skies are expected with occasional light to moderate showers over c o a s ta l a rea s . Oth er regions can expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with

scattered showers and rainfall amounts are likely to be between 20.0 mm and 40.0 mm over coastal areas.

The highest is expected over Regions 2 (Pomeroon/ Supenaam), 3 (Essequibo

Islands/West Demerara), and 4 (Demerara/Mahaica) w h i l e o t h e r re g i o n s c a n expect values between 5.0 mm and 15.0 mm.

Tomorrow, it said, will be cloudy to overcast at

times with moderate to heavy showers expected over coastal and some near inland locations, while other regions can expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers.

Rainfall amounts are likely between 15.0 mm and 35.0 mm over coastal areas with the highest expected over Regions 1 (Barima/ Wa i n i ) t o 4 ( D e m e r a r a / Mahaica).

Haiti expects Guyana trade mission this year THE recent accreditation of Haiti’s plenipotentiary representative to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Mr. Peterson Benjamin Noel brings with it the promise of increased action in the areas of trade, investment and working relations with countries in the Region.

Guyana is not the least in Haiti’s revamped efforts to engage Member States, the envoy assured, in an exclusive interview with the Guyana Chronicle.

He noted that greater collaborations will be advanced, this year, with the aid of a trade

mission to Haiti.

“We are working on this through the CARICOM Secretariat, so we can have the trade mission of local stakeholders to Haiti before the end of the year.

“Currently we are working with both the Government and the Private Sector to ensure that this undertaking is a success,” Noel said.

He pointed out that Guyana is already home to Haitian investors, particularly in the rice sector.

In 2006, Haitian national Saj-Steven Angele Jeff Khauly began operating the SajRice Mill in Region 5 (Mahaica/Ber-

For Thursday January 16, 2014 -05:00hrs For Friday January 17, 2014 -05:00hrs

bice), under a 10-year lease, an undertaking that facilitated trade to his country.

ITS INTEREST Earlier this year, the factory was upgraded with new equipment and generator system, among others and the company has indicated its interest in extending its lease to 20 years.

Subject Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, had previously said the Haitian market is an opportunity for Guyana to expand its shares, in terms of rice export.

Noel added that since, the devastation by the 2010 earthquake that levelled the Haitian Capital, Port-au-Prince, rebuilding has been advanced simultaneously with a developmental paradigm shift.

“Haitian people, hand in hand, are working very hard to rebuild the country stronger than ever.

“The economy is growing at a positive rate; the business climate has improved as well as the security environment.

“Haiti is back on track.

Haiti is open for business,” he declared, adding to President Michel Martelly’s boast that the country is a haven of opportunities.

The Haitian Head of State, during CARICOM’s 24th inter-sessional meeting, said: “Haiti should be seen and treated as an opportunity. Despite its difficulties, it represents a good opportunity for the Region, an opportunity for each CARICOM country.”

Noel said Haiti boasts unexploited natural assets and processes a rich cultural heritage, both of which can provide a meaningful contribution to the wealth of our economies.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday January 16, 2014

Aries March 21 - April 19

Suddenly in the mood to stay at home? Well, don’t offer up any apologies, even if you’d previously made a promise to head out with someone who’s been trying to pin you down to an actual date for weeks. Putter around the kitchen, make your place your own again -- even if that just means rearranging the living room furniture -- and get to know the dog again. You might even feel so domestic that you call that family member who’s been pouting lately.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

If anyone can calm someone down, whether or not you have any rational reasons to talk them off the ledge they’re currently teetering on, it’s you. Your voice has that certain soothing quality that hostage negotiators would pay big bucks for -- very big bucks. Use it now to help a loved one see that the way they’re being treated isn’t fair, it’s not right.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

It’s your turn to let all your emotions out, regardless of when they occur, how they occur, or who happens to be in the vicinity when said emotions emerge. This happens at least once a month, but when your turn rolls around, since expressing emotions are your specialty, you do it right. Whether you’re happy, sad or angry now, do your job and set the example: Let the world know it’s perfectly all right to let it show.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

When it comes to shopping, your usual M.O. is this: Decide exactly what you want; get yourself to the exact location where said item will undoubtedly be found, using a ‘Point A to Point B’ strategy; then lay hands on the item(s); and bring said items to the nearest available cash register, with both plastic and cash in hand, just in case. Make your escape and don’t forget to lay out the battle plan for anyone who’s along for the ‘trip.’

Leo July 23 - August 22

Even you, famously known to often be the most difficult of all signs to talk into staying home on the couch long enough for half a sitcom, can occasionally be impossible to pry out of your favourite chair. Yep, you guessed it. This is officially one of those nights.

Don’t apologise, don’t make excuses and don’t force yourself to make an appearance anywhere if you’re not into it. After all, stars can make these decisions -- and was there ever any doubt about your stardom?

Virgo August 23 - September 22

Feel like cooking? Or maybe just some plain old puttering around? Or spending some impromptu time with a group of friends you haven’t been able to arrange a catch-up session with since Bush was president? Well, here’s a thought: How about a combination of the three? The heavens are in a splendidly sociable mood, and perfectly ready to pass it all on to us mere mortals. Call it a potluck reunion -- and think of the leftovers!

Libra September 23 - October 22

There’s absolutely no time like the present to have that sit-down with your superiors -- especially if you have something emotional on your mind that you’ve really got to let them know about. Sure, it’s tough to combine the two -- business and personal feelings -- but if anyone can pull it off, is there any doubt at all that it’s you? Oh, and if you start feeling just a touch cranky, remember -- they do sign your cheques ....

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

You’re tired of the same old, same old. The routine. You’re so tired of it that in the middle of your intense little heart, you’re quite sure that if you don’t do something to change it soon, you won’t be any good to anyone. Not yourself, not your loved ones and certainly not the people who depend on your keen intuition and impeccable work skills to get them through the day.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Staying in to watch whatever happens to be on television absolutely isn’t your style. It’s so not your style that when you even suggest it, your loved ones start hunting around for thermometers and your physician’s home phone number. Of course, you definitely don’t have either handy, so you’ll have to rely on your skills of humour and reassurance to talk them off the ledge. That, and you might also suggest that they choose the video.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

It’s time to make a decision -- to those gadgets off, at least temporarily. You need some time with your loved ones, as they’ll be happy to remind you, and anyone who gets in the way of those few precious hours alone they’re so looking forward to. Besides, you’ve been 100 percent available to your professional cohorts for so long that they’re far more spoiled than even your sweetheart should be. Work on changing that.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

You’ve always considered your coworkers to be your ‘other family,’ so now, when one of them calls and asks for help, you’ll be more than willing to do what you can to take care of it all for them. Remember one thing, though: It’s called ‘tough love.’ In other words, if you’ve dug them out before and they still haven’t done anything to help themselves in the meantime, it might be time to remind yourself of the definition of ‘enabling.’

Pisces February 19 - March 20

Are they gone yet? The ‘gang,’ that is? Great. Because if anyone knows what it takes to romance someone -- anyone at all -- it’s definitely you, and it starts with some privacy.

(That’s for sure.) At the moment, you’re probably going over the basics of all that in your mind, wondering exactly what it would take to make every single moment go along perfectly. That, and cleaning up after the bash.

Ashraf reinstated Djokovic, Serena keep it as PCB chairman quick to beat the heat

(REUTERS) - Islamabad’s High Court (IHC) reinstated Zaka Ashraf as Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) yesterday, after he was removed last year by a bench of the same court.

A two-member divisional bench consisting of Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan and Justice Noorul Haq Qureshi announced its judgment on an appeal filed by Ashraf against his dismissal last July.

“Zaka Ashraf has been reinstated as board Chairman with immediate effect by the court and he can take charge from tomorrow,” Afzal Kundi, Ashraf’s legal counsel told reporters.

The IHC bench removed Ashraf last July on a constitutional petition declaring the elections in which he was voted in for a four-year term as “mala fide” and “illegal.”

After Ashraf’s dismissal, the government appointed Najam Sethi as acting chairman but the same bench later also stopped him from exercising his full powers and ordered him to hold fresh elections.

With no elections in sight the ZAKA ASHRAF government appointed a strong interim management committee with Sethi as its head to oversee cricket affairs.

“With this judgment the interim management committee also ceases to exist,” Kundi said, adding that the operational part of the judgment made it clear that Ashraf had been restored unconditionally to his old position.

Ashraf told reporters in Lahore that he was elated with the decision and it was vindication he was elected constitutionally and properly in the first place.

“I hope everyone accepts this decision wholeheartedly and we can start working for the betterment of Pakistan cricket. I plan to go to office in two days’ time,” he said.

By Nick Mulvenney (REUTERS) - Tournament favourites Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams raced into the third round of the Australian Open and out of the heat yesterday as controversy over play continuing in scorching temperatures rumbled on for a second day.

Cloud cover and a gusty wind helped keep temperatures just below the peak of 42.2 degrees Celsius they reached on Tuesday, when Canadian Frank Dancevic passed out and accused organisers of forcing players to play in “inhumane” conditions.

Ivan Dodig became the 10th player to retire in the first three days of the tournament, though, when he was unable to complete his match against Bosnian Damir Dzumhur on one of the exposed outer courts at Melbourne Park.

“Today, 30 minutes after the match I could not walk,” Croatian Dodig told reporters.

“There were 10 people around me. I was thinking I could maybe even die here. I think we deserve that somebody listens to the voice of the players.”

Djokovic needed 107 minutes to take the second step on the path he hopes will take him to a fourth successive title by thrashing Argentine Leonardo

Mo Farah at a career crossroads ahead of debut marathon IT WAS NEVER going to be easy, but it’s just been made particularly hard for Mo Farah as he prepares for his marathon debut in London, after a super-elite field has been announced this week with the world’s best marathon runners all queuing up to take on the British Olympic star over the distance on April 13.

Farah is aiming to become the first British man to win the race since Eamonn Martin 21 years ago and, for all that he has already achieved in his illustrious career, this represents a career crossroads.

It will not be until after the marathon that Farah and his camp begin to make a firm decision on his targets and goals for the remainder of the year, and the race could well decide the direction of his career from this point onwards.

As has been admitted by the double Olympic champion, so far there are no definite plans regarding competing on the track at either the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow or the European Championships in Zurich later this year, so a great deal is going to be on the line.

His ambition of translating his dominance over 5 000m and 10 000m to the significantly longer distance of 26.2 miles is admirable, but is it attainable against such seasoned specialists?

To invest so much time and training in adapting to a very different event is always going to be a big risk, but under the tutelage of three-time New York Marathon champion Alberto Salazar he is going about his work in the right way.

Farah completed half of last year’s London Marathon as a training run but taking on such a high-quality field this time around will be an entirely different proposition. He gained valuable experience last April, but this time the intense pressure and the expectation will engulf him.

Lofty ambitions always come naturally to the great athletes, and Farah is probably the greatest Britain has ever produced. But to move serenely to tackling the marathon distance against the world’s best is a challenge that is hard to overstate.

Even eclipsing the British record of 2:07.13, set by Steve Jones 29 years ago in Chicago, will not come close to challenging the world’s best if they are at the top of their game.

Six runners in the field announced for the London Marathon have gone under 2:05. Emmanuel Mutai will be present - the Kenyan star who set the course record of 2:04:40 three years ago.

Also in the field are Geoffrey Mutai, who has run the fastest - albeit not officially recognised - marathon in history, Wilson Kipsang, the world record-holder, and Stephen Kiprotich, the Olympic and world champion from Uganda.

And there is Ibrahim Jeilan, the Ethiopian who beat Farah to gold in the 10 000m at the World Championships in Daegu in 2011, and last year’s race winner, compatriot Tsegaye Kebede.

As Hugh Brasher, the London Marathon race director, said: “Much attention in Britain

will focus on the performance of Mo Farah and we are very pleased that he has chosen London to make his marathon debut.

“But it will be an extremely tough challenge for Mo with the quality of the elite field as high as ever.” Again, that’s an understatement.

Farah has admitted that competing for glory at the London Marathon was a boyhood dream and it would represent a quite stunning career development for the athlete.

“I am expecting it to be one of my toughest races and a real learning experience,” the 30-year-old said. “I gained a lot of valuable experience running part of the course alongside the top guys last year and can’t wait to race over the full distance this April.

“The London Marathon always attracts the world’s best runners to its elite fields and this year will be no different. I had another great year on the track in 2013, but the marathon is my main focus for this year.

“As a young boy growing up in London it was always my ambition to run the London Marathon, and to be able to make my marathon debut in my home town is very special.”

As for his plans until April, Farah is to continue his intensive training in Portland, Oregon before embarking upon a period of high-altitude work in Kenya later this month.

He may end up having enduring a chastening experience in what is his first competitive marathon, but the risks are surely far outweighed by the potential of confirming his status as the best all-round athlete in the world.

Mayer 6-0, 6-4, 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena.

Williams also hot-footed it into the third round, with a one-sided 6-1, 6-2 demolition of Vesna Dolonc, before revealing her own particular visualisation technique for keeping cool.

“I just pretend I’m in Hawaii riding a wave, that’s all I can do,” she said after setting up an encounter with Slovakia’s Daniela Hantuchova who survived a gruelling battle against Karolina Pliskova, winning 1210 in the deciding set.

MENTALLY PREPARED Djokovic retired from a match against Andy Roddick in another Melbourne heat wave five years ago but proved against Mayer that he is an altogether stronger player than in 2009.

“You don’t want to spend too much time in the heat. You want to try to win as quickly as possible,” the second seed, who next faces Denis Istomin, told reporters.

“I prepared myself mentally for that. It’s not just physically.

Mentally you need to be tough enough to not give up and not think about what conditions can do to you.”

World number one Williams was her usual mix of elegance in her dress and brutality in her play as she dismissed Dolonc in just over an hour on the same court.

Though no one could ever doubt the mental strength of a player who has won 17 grand slam titles, Williams admitted to a sleepless night worrying about the impact the heat might have on her bid for a sixth Melbourne title.

“I kept waking up in the middle of the night last night, just paranoid,” Williams told reporters. “I just wanted to stay hydrated. The last thing I want to do is to cramp in this weather.

It can happen so easily. I was just drinking a tremendous amount of water.”

Williams has seen off at least a couple of generations of younger women looking to knock her off the top of the game and 16-year-old Swiss Belinda Bencic is tipped to be in the vanguard of the next wave.

The qualifier, coached by the mother of Martina Hingis, started poorly in her match against Chinese fourth seed Li Na but after losing the first seven games, rallied to force the second set into a tiebreak before losing 6-0, 7-6 (5).

Two former grand slam champions who have dropped out of the top 10, Ana Ivanovic and Samantha Stosur, had straightforward two-set victories to set up a third round meeting tomorrow, when temperatures could hit 44 degrees Celsius.

“I think there’s got to be some common sense,” Australian Stosur said. “Because you don’t want it to get dangerous and have somebody getting hurt because of it.”

EARLY BERDYCH Seventh seeded Czech Tomas Berdych, dressed in what looked like a blue and white striped Argentina soccer shirt was the first man into the third round when he hammered Frenchman Kenny De Schepper 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.

Berdych said conditions were the hottest he had played in and suggested that if the threshold for stopping matches had not been reached, it was probably set too high.

Novak Djokovic of Serbia hits a return to Leonardo Mayer of Argentina during their men’s singles match at the Australian Open 2014 tennis tournament in Melbourne yesterday. (REUTERS/ Jason Reed) France’s Richard Gasquet soon joined Berdych by beating Russian Nikolay Davydenko 7-6 (7-3), 6-4, 6-4 in a match that featured a candidate for point of the tournament.

Davydenko looked to have clinched it with a no-look underarm shot from behind the baseline only for ninth seed Gasquet to hit an outrageous winner over his shoulder running back into the court away from the net.

Third seed David Ferrer continued his progress through a section of the draw further weakened by the 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 defeat of 14th seed

Mikhail Youzhny at the hands of Florian Mayer yesterday.

Ferrer’s unrelenting fighting spirit put him in good stead in his match over Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, who won the second set before wilting in the heat and going down 7-6 (7-2), 5-7, 6-0, 6-3.

World number eight Stan Wawrinka, playing in the relative cool of the evening on Margaret Court Arena, also needed four sets to get past Alejandro Falla 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (7-4), 6-4.

Shewdas maintains ...

From back Page fine and (if) found culpable, the coach will be sanctioned with the levity to be decided by the executive upon receipt of the reports,” Green further added.

Shewdas broke his silence for the first time, in an interview with Chronicle Sport yesterday, stating “I didn’t use anything, I’m natural and I’m not a cheat. If they ask me for it, I will give them back” Shewdas said when quizzed on if he would return the money and other prizes given upon his return to Guyana and also pay the fine for the GAPF. Not much of a talker, often times shy and resorted to simply smiling during the interview, Shewdas shrugged when asked if he thinks an apology should be presented by him to those who might have felt betrayed by the IPF and WADA’s finding.

“No! I don’t think I need to apologise because I haven’t done nothing wrong. I think they (GAPF) should’ve done more to get to the matter. They know what was going on before me. They told me about the results and everything and explained to me what happened and so on”.

Meanwhile, Green sought to have sympathy on the doping accused by calling his situation a “tragedy”, rather than labelling him (Shewdas) a cheat, as did several reports and letter to the Editor in various sections of the media.

“We (GAPF) do not agree with any form of doping, whether intentional or unintentional. The view of this president is that Gumendra Shewdas did not take the stimulants intentionally.”

Methylhexaneamine is described as a stimulant that has moved up the banned list in the WADA. It is used mainly as a Fat Metaboliser/Fat Burner. It was first created to be used as a Nasal Decongestant, but its fat burning potential was discovered and soon found its way into many brand name supplements.

Oxilofrinsite is a fat loss and weight control compound that has recently been in the news a lot due to two well-known sprinters and former 100M World record holders Tyson Gay and Jamaica’s Asafa Powell who were both accused by the WADA for doping and the aforementioned substance was found in their urine.

Oxilofrine is a form of stimulant similar to ampheiemines and was invented to try to treat low blood pressure (hypotension) in those who may not respond well to the more conventional treatments on offer. Oxilofrine is the prescription name for methylsynephrine, hydroxyephrine and oxyephrine.

SERIES LOST

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Poor fielding and a costly over from skipper Dwayne Bravo disrupted West Indies’ momentum and helped New Zealand to a four-wicket win in the second and final T20 match at Westpac Stadium, Wellington yesterday.

West Indies dropped a number of catches in the field while an expensive 15th over by Bravo yielded 17 runs as New Zealand completed a successful chase after the visitors, who won the toss and elected to bat first, scored 159 for five to seal the series two-nil, after winning the opener last Saturday.

The West Indies appeared to have lost their way when they were reduced to 67-4 in the 11th over before Denesh Ramdin and Andre Russell breathed life into their innings.

Opener Lendl Simmons was off to an encouraging start hitting five fours to reach 29 before he was caught.

end in a running mix-up.

Fletcher, who top-scored in the first T20 on Saturday, smashed three fours and one six.

Ramdin carried on through to the end to be unbeaten on 55 off 31 balls in an innings which included three sixes and three fours.

Chasing the 160 target, New Zealand were struggling at 79-5 before a 68-run partnership between Ross Taylor and Luke Ronchi turned the innings around.

Taylor played the anchor role with 39 off 41 balls while Ronchi belted an unbeaten 51 off 28 deliveries in an innings that included four fours and two sixes.

The pair were particularly harsh on Bravo in the 15th over when they took 17 runs to reduce the target from 54 off 36 balls to a more manageable 37 off 30.

They also took 15 off the 17th over by Jason Holder.

Jesse Ryder was dropped twice as he raced to a quick 23 in nine balls, and Brendon McCullum received a life on his way to 17.

Two chances were missed to remove man-of-the-match Ronchi on the first ball he faced, with Russell dropping a caught-and-bowled opportunity and when Ronchi scampered through for a quick single Tino Best was astray with his run-out throw at the stumps.

(REUTERS) - Kevin Pietersen’s Test future may be in doubt but the mercurial batsman was hailed as a “million pound asset” when named in England’s provisional 30-member squad for this year’s Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh yesterday.

A swashbuckling batsman who polarises opinion, Pietersen was a target for heavy criticism after England’s 5-0 Ashes surrender in Australia despite being the highest run-scorer for his side.

Earlier this month, coach Andy Flower felt compelled to issue a statement denying a dressing-room rift after British media claimed he had threatened to quit if the South Africa-born batsman continued to be part of the team’s rebuilding process.

Captain Alistair Cook has also ducked questions concerning Pietersen’s Test future but the 33-year-old’s international career looks far from over after selectors opted to consider the use of his hard-hitting prowess in Bangladesh.

“There was no discussion at all about leaving him out,” England’s limited-overs coach Ashley Giles told reporters in Brisbane ahead of the team’s second one-day international against Australia tomorrow. “He’s another million-pound asset at least, he might be worth a bit more than that.”

Pietersen has been rested from England’s limited-overs series (five one-day internationals and three Twenty20s) in Australia.

“He’s a fantastic player and he’s shown that in T20 cricket. He’s not played that much for me in T20, but in other competitions how dangerous he can be,” Giles said.

The squad will be pruned to a final 15-member party following the three-match Twenty20 series against Australia beginning on January 29.

Led by Stuart Broad, 2010 champions England will begin their quest for a second title with a March 22 match against New Zealand at Chittagong.

Squad: Stuart Broad (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Gary Ballance, Ravi Bopara, Scott Borthwick, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler, Michael Carberry, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Craig Kieswetter, Michael Lumb, Eoin Morgan, Graham Onions, Steven Parry, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, Boyd Rankin, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Taylor, James Tredwell, James Vince, Chris Woakes, Luke Wright.

Struggling with his rhythm and pace in the practice games, the 24-year-old right-arm bowler did not feature in England’s 5-0 Ashes rout and Sunday’s defeat in the first of five oneday internationals.

“Steven is one of our most talented bowling assets who has played and will continue to play an important role for England,” England’s limited over head coach Ashley Giles said.

“He has been working hard over the last couple of months on technical aspects of his bowling and Steven and the coaches all feel continuing this work out of the performance environment will be beneficial for him.”

Kumar challenges GBA to produce more medals this year … Referees/Judges undergo refresher course

By Calvin Roberts DIRECTOR of Sport within the National Sports Commission (NSC) Neil Kumar yesterday morning challenged the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) to produce more medallists this year, following up on the success story they had yesterday.

He was at the time, opening the GBA’s Referees/Judges Refresher course at the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) High Street, Kingston-located boardroom, in the presence of GBA president Steve Ninvalle, Technical Director Terrence Poole and James Beckles of Trinidad and Tobago who is an International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) Referee/

Judge and a trained facilitator.

“I want to congratulate the GBA in the first place for organising this Referee/Judges Course, which I view as very important, even as I say special thanks to Mr Beckles for being here so early in the year, especially after the just concluded festive season,” said Kumar.

He called on the media to follow the GBA closely, saying it is the lone Sports Association to produce to the NSC a detailed plan under the ‘Road to Rio de Janiero’ proposal and they need to be complimented.

“We cannot work without having a plan. We have to have a short-, medium- and long-term plan and I think that boxing is one of the disciplines which have a long-term plan, both at the professional and amateur levels, when you look at how they work closely together to coordinate the monthly Friday Night Fights.

“Now we have the GBA running off a refresher course for their referees/judges and this is great, for while Mr Poole is doing an extremely good job here, getting better and better, I would like to see our boxers medalling more at the international level this year,” said Kumar.

He added, “Particularly with the aim of qualifying for Brazil in 2016 and I wish to congratulate our referees/judg-

es and I honestly feel that they have been a major improvement in this department and I wish to congratulate them, while reminding them to continue to be fair.

“Definitely I would like to see them improve more and more, since the boxers are in their hands and you must be the one to make the better judgment, while I thank the GBA for being so early with this programme, even as I extend special thanks to Mr. Beckles for being here with us once again, even as I look forward to working with the GBA and other Associations for further development in 2014.”

In his opening remarks, Ninvalle applauded Kumar and the GOA, whom he described as being instrumental in facilitating Beckles’ trip to Guyana for the course which runs for a period of five days, with the first three being theoretical and the latter two practical at the Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis gym.

“It is important that the participants become sponges and take in all the information Mr Beckles has to offer. We know that AIBA is changing its rules regularly and Mr Beckles is part and parcel of the GBA, which is trying to keep you up to date with what is going on in the amateur boxing arena.

“His visit here could not have been possible without the input of our Director of Sport Neil Kumar, who has always been willing to put his shoul-

ders to the wheel as it relates to amateur boxing in Guyana and its development and I wish to say thanks to him, the NSC and special thanks to the GOA,” said Ninvalle.

He thanked Beckles for making the time to come and share with the local referees/ judges the new developments as they unfold from AIBA and urged the participants to tap into his knowledge over the next five days without fear and favour.

Meanwhile, Beckles thanked the GBA for having him to conduct the course, saying that it is not limited to Guyana alone, since he will be journeying over to Barbados when his tenure here is over, to conduct a similar course.

On the same note, he said the GBA and most countries within the Caribbean lack constant training as is being done in Trinidad and Tobago, while he hinted at the Trinidad and Tobago Boxing Association inviting presidents from boxing associations across the Carib-

bean, to have a first hand look at their national championships which is a five-day affair.

“What we intend doing is invite some of the presidents to come to T&T to view our championships, interact with our local body and see how things work there, so that you can design your own structure as it relates to the work of the referees/judges” said Beckles.

According to Ninvalle, a total of 20 participants will be attending the seminar, at the end of which a Certificate of Participation would be issued to each participant.

Ricks and Sari programme to start off this year’s season WITH BERBICE seeing their cycling season pedal off last Sunday with the hosting of the Wilbur Benjamin 40-mile road race, cyclists and cycling enthusiasts in Georgetown can get ready for action in this year’s season, which pedals off next Saturday around the inner circuit of the National Park.

FLASHBACK! Gumendra Shewdas, showing off his International Powerlifting Federation World Junior and Sub-Junior Powerlifting Championships gold medal.

Shewdas maintains his innocence and refuses to apologise … says he has done nothing wrong

By Rawle Toney IN THE latter part of August 2013, 18-year-old Gumendra Shewdas etched his name in Guyana’s sports history book, when he became the country’s first-ever junior World Champion in any sporting discipline.

The Line Path, Skeldon resident, competing at the World Junior and Sub-Junior Powerlifting Championships in Killeen Texas, copped gold in the 53kg class when he amassed a total of 475.5kg from his bench press, squat and deadlift.

He was showered with praise not only from the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) and its affiliates, but also from the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, which, in particular, funded if not all, most of the over $900 000 for Shewdas and his manager/coach Denroy Livan to make the trip.

However, the praise and celebrations were shortlived when Shewdas found himself in the spotlight but this time for breaking another record; one that he’s not too happy with as well.

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) in a letter sent to the GAPF stated that on August 26, 2013, and during the 2013 Sub Junior Powerlifting Championships, Shewdas provided an in-competition urine sample. ,The certificate of analysis confirming the adverse analytical finding, was received on September 20, 2013 by the IPF from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratory in Cologne, Germany, that indicated the presence of Methylhexaneamine and Oxilofrine in that sample which was provided by Shewdas.

Methylhexaneamine and Oxilofrine are Prohibited Substances and are both stimulants according to the WADA Prohibited List and the IPF Anti-Doping Rules. The result also meant that Shewdas was banned for two years by the sport’s world governing body.

The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) employee’s implication also came with a $2 000 Euros (G$558 213) fine imposed by the IPF on the GAPF. President of the GAPF, Peter Green, at a recent press conference noted “The IPF advised us that because they have no way of recovering money from the athletes personally, they impose it on the federation with the expectation that the federation will be reimbursed by the lifter” “So we have it both ways now. We are going to ask Mr Shewdas to repay the
