GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday February 18, 2014

COMMENTS UNACCEPTABLE HOME Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee has indicated his intention to seek legal recourse following statements made by Joseph Harmon from A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) on drug trafficking investigations being undertaken by the United States of America.

According to Rohee, Harmon had said Rohee was possibly unaware of the investigations because Rohee himself was being investigated. Harmon’s comments were reportedly made after Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee had addressed information-sharing between Guyana and America in the narco-trafficking fight.

“I have seen on television the statements made by Harmon, and I intend to take it up with my lawyers… Harmon is not going to make statements like that and get away with it,” Minister Rohee said as he stressed that such comments are unacceptable. (Vanessa Narine)

Guyana moves up on World Press Freedom Index GUYANA has moved up two places on the 2014 Reporters Without Borders World Press Freedom Index; ranking at 67 out of 180 countries. Last year, the country came in at number 69 out of 179 countries.

Reporters Without Borders is a non-profit organisation based in France. The Press Freedom Index is an annual ranking of countries compiled and published by this body based upon its assessment of the countries’ press freedom

records in the previous year.

In Guyana, over the last 20 years under the PPP/C led Administration, the local media fraternity, both print and electronic, has grown exponentially.

The enactment of the Broadcast Act paved the way for the establishment of a new regime of rules and procedures by which persons can participate in an open and competitive broadcasting sector. This Act established the Guyana Broadcasting

Authority (GNBA).

While the role of the State-owned media must be recognised, the GNBA ensures fairness and balance.

In essence, the broadcast industry in Guyana is seen as plural and open to fair competition.

Over the last 20 years under the PPP/C Administration, the print media has increased from two to four daily newspapers, three of which are privately owned, from just three television stations to over 20, and from just one radio station to now over 10.

Additionally, there are several internet-based news outlets. As recent as December last year, the GNBA sent out 16 more letters of approval for broadcasting licences.

Historic Caribbean Court of Justice sitting in Guyana

THE Convention Centre on Orchid Drive, Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown was transformed into a veritable courtroom yesterday with the Justices of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) sitting in Guyana for the very first time.

The occasion was the hearing of an Application for Leave to Appeal, filed by Attorneys-at-Law, Sanjeev J. Datadin and Charles S. Ramson on

behalf of their clients, Paul Lashley and John Campayne (the Applicants).

The hearing began at 10:00am and was presided over

by Justice Sir Dennis Byron, President of the CCJ, and Justices of Appeal Adrian Saunders, Jacob Wit, David Hayton and Charles Anderson.

T h e A p p l i c a n t s w e re charged in June 2012 with breaking and enter and larceny, and a trial ensued in the Magistrates’ Court. Chief Magistrate, Priya Beharry presided over the trial, and in December 2012, found the Applicants guilty and imposed a sentence of four years imprisonment. The Court of Appeal, in July 2013, dismissed their appeal against conviction and sentence.

Datadin, on behalf of the Applicants, outlined to the Court that the Court had discretion to grant Special Leave to Appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal.

He went on to argue that the trial against the Applicants was manifestly unfair, and resulted in an egregious miscarriage of justice because of the incompetence of the Counsel who conducted the trial on behalf of the Applicants in the Magistrates’ Court.

Datadin further argued in the alternative that the sentence imposed on the Applicants was too severe. The Judges of the Court asked Mr. Datadin whether probation reports are usually

obtained by the Court in Guyana before sentence is passed, and Mr. Datadin replied: “In my experience, it happens, but it is more the exception rather than the rule.”

Ms. Sonia Joseph, Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, responded on behalf of the State and contended the appeal was without merit, and that further, the Court was not empowered to grant special leave to appeal. That leave to appeal, she said, had to be granted by the Court of Appeal of Guyana.

The matter is fixed for decision today at 10:00am.

Asked to comment on the matter following the hearing, Datadin said he was pleased that the Court was giving its ruling in such a short time, but would not be drawn into saying what he thought the decision might be.

Ramson, on the otrher hand, remarked that it was indeed an important and historic day for Guyana and the CCJ, in that the presence of the Justices “certainly amplifies the perception of justice, and demonstrably crystalizes credibility in the CCJ functioning in the way as it was intended.”

That said, he urged all other CARICOM countries to ratify and implement the decision to make the CCJ their final court. “National and regional issues ought to be decided by national and regional courts,” he said.

‘Parliamentary struggle’ on for passage of AML/CFT Bill - Rohee

By Vanessa Narine

THE Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has gifted Guyana with a reprieve in not recommending this country to the attention of the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), but this has not negated the “parliamentary struggle” that the current administration faces in undertaking passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) (Amendment) Bill.

At the People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP’s) weekly press conference held at Freedom House on Robb Street yesterday, Party General Secretary Clement Rohee made this observation as he lauded the support Government had received in regard to passing the AML/ CFT Bill from national and regional groups, as well as from the diplomatic corps. He stressed that the momentum gained on the matter to date must be maintained in pushing for the bill’s passage.

Rohee added that national awareness and consciousness on the matter are at a high point. “We have to maintain momentum,” he said.

CONSISTENT POSITIONS Rohee pointed out that the leader of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier (retd) David Granger, has committed to cleaning up the anti-money laundering bill and to have it approved by the House before the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) meets again in May. However, he said, consistent positions from the coalition remains to be seen.

According to him, the “waffling positions” of the APNU were evidenced by the party’s member, Basil Williams, being unable to state a clear position when questioned on the three proposed amendments to the bill during a live television call-in programme.

According to Rohee, regarding the proposed amendments, Williams

adopted one position in the National Assembly and another outside the House.

The three amendments seek to: change the entire governing apparatus of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); remove the ‘Attorney General’ wherever that name appears, and replace it with the FIU; and vest police or customs officers with a power to seize currency from any person anywhere in Guyana if those officers have reason to believe that acquisition of the currency proceeded from criminal activities or would be used to finance same.

“We have to be consistent with positions!” Rohee said, adding that Minister Clement Rohee he doubted the proposed amendments would secure public support.

Government members on the Parliamentary Select Committee, where the amendments are being reviewed, have already indicated their non-support of the proposals.

Rohee explained that the proposed amendment to vest police or customs officers with a power to seize from any person anywhere in Guyana currency - which includes jewellery – worth $2M and over on the basis of mere suspicion is one, he is particularly following with a close eye.

He noted that this amendment is extremely problematic in that it could result in development of a new breed of criminals. He made it clear that moving to the area of prohibition of any sort would create a new dimension of underground activity, and he added that the problem of the lack of public confidence in enforcement officials

presents an added dilemma in this case.

“This is not going to win support,” he said.

POLITICAL HYSTERIA Rohee rejected claims that the current administration was engaging in political hysteria to whip up panic among the population. He pointed out that the CFATF was clear in its ruling in November -- as was the statement by FATF in January -- placing Guyana at the top of the list of delinquent countries that could qualify for ICRG review.

Rohee also said that, up to the last minute, Government was pushing for the passage of the bill at the National Assembly sitting on February 10, considering that FATF could have possibly reviewed Guyana’s case on February 13.

He acknowledged that Guyana did not send a team to the FATF meeting in Paris, France, but he said Guyana was not expected to send a team, given that CFAFT was responsible for briefing FAFT. Rohee maintained that meeting the new deadline of February 28 is critical if Guyana is to avoid the dire consequences of blacklisting.

Come February 28, Guyana’s report to CFATF has to include its plan of action to correct its deficiencies as part of the ongoing process, as well as report on the status of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill.

A copy of the enacted bill is also expected to be analysed by CFATF and correlated to the deficiencies identified by the body at its November 2013 plenary meeting, before a report is made in May 2014.

Between February and May, it is expected that CFATF and the current administration would have dialogue and discussion in regard to preparation of the report for the CFATF Plenary.

If the May Plenary is dissatisfied with Guyana’s progress, CFATF’s November 2013 statement already provides for the country to be referred to FATF, which meets again in June 2014.

FITUG joins call for passage of AML/CFT Bill

By Vanessa Narine THE Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) has called for political parties represented in the National Assembly to, swiftly and urgently, pass the Anti-Money Laundering/Countering of the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill.

The grouping, which represents thousands of workers in major sectors of the local economy, declared that the show of partisan politics demonstrated in the November vote resulting in defeat of the Bill must not be repeated.

In a statement, FITUG said: “Given the announcement

by Government, that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has facilitated more time for the National Assembly to pass this important legislation, the partisan politics exhibited on November 7, 2013, which resulted in the defeat of the original Amendment Bill and the subsequent blacklisting of Guyana by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), need not be repeated again at this critical juncture in Guyana’s history.”

FITUG pointed out that its members, some of whom are among the recipients of remittances from abroad, will, undoubtedly, be affected.

It said: “We understand that money transfers may take longer and fees for such transactions will increase as well.

“Also, the threat of international financial institutions ceasing to conduct business in our country will restrict the conduct of transactions.

“Such an occurrence will require persons having to travel fur-

ther or pay exorbitant fees in order to conduct money transfers or to receive remittances.”

THESE IMPEDIMENTS FITUG emphasised that these impediments are not easily overcome by persons with limited resources.

It continued: “Further sanctions, we are told, will cause citizens being required to complete additional, unnecessary and lengthy paperwork in order to execute and/or complete transactions.

“Importantly, the jobs of FITUG members could be jeopardised if businesses are unable to secure imported raw materials and inputs to facilitate operations within an acceptable time frame.

“If businesses close their doors, the social impact will be grave as jobs could be lost,” FITUG warned.

It said the housing industry, which is largely supported by the working class and as a creator of thousands of indirect jobs, ranging from truckers to labourers to carpenters, to even food vendors who prepare food at various construction sites, was cited as one area that will suffer if Guyana fails to meet the February 28 deadline.

“At this point in our nation’s history, we join the chorus of concerned stakeholders to appeal to our Parliamentary representatives, and more so, the members of the Special Select Committee charged with reviewing the Amendment Bill, to work in the interest of the workers of Guyana.

“Further sanctions at this time could serve to reverse the many gains made by the working class over the years, the threat of job losses cannot be underscored, our workers deserve, among other

things, a decent standard of living.”

FITUG was established in 1988 and resuscitated in 2005.

Currently, the organisation has four affiliates, the Guyana Labour Union (GLU), the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE) and the Clerical and Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU).

North Korea crimes evoke Nazi era, Kim may face charges: U.N. inquiry (Reuters) - North Korean security chiefs and possibly even Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un himself should face international justice for ordering systematic torture, starvation and killings comparable to Nazi-era atrocities, U.N. investigators said on Monday.

The investigators told Kim in a letter they were advising the United Nations to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court (ICC), to make sure any culprits “including possibly yourself” were held accountable.

The unprecedented public rebuke and warning to a head of state by a U.N. inquiry is likely to further antagonize Kim and complicate efforts to persuade him to rein in his isolated country’s nuclear weapons program and belligerent confrontations with South Korea and the West.

North Korea “categorically and totally” rejected the accusations set out in a 372-page report, saying they were based on material faked by hostile forces backed by the United States, the European Union and Japan.

Michael Kirby, chairman of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry, said he expected his group’s findings to “galvanize action on the part of the international community”.

“These are not the occasional wrongs that can be done by officials everywhere in the world, they are wrongs against humanity, they are wrongs that shock the consciousness of humanity,” Kirby, a former chief justice of Australia, told journalists.

Referral to the Hague-based International Criminal Court is seen as unlikely given China’s probable veto of any such move in the U.N. Security Council, diplomats told Reuters.

“Another possibility is establishment of an ad hoc tribunal like the tribunal on the former Yugoslavia,” Kirby said.

The U.N. investigators also told Kim’s main ally China that it might be “aiding and abetting crimes against humanity” by sending migrants and defectors back to North Korea to face torture or execution, a charge that Chinese officials dismissed.

“STRIKINGLY SIMILAR” TO NAZI ERA The findings came out of a year-long investigation in-

volving public testimony by defectors, including former prison camp guards, at hearings in South Korea, Japan, Britain and the United States.

Defectors included Shin Dong-hyuk, who gave harrowing accounts of his life and escape from a prison camp. As a 13-year-old, he informed a prison guard of a plot by his mother and brother to escape and both were executed, according to a book on his life called “Escape from Camp 14”.

Kirby said that the crimes the team had catalogued were reminiscent of those committed

by Nazis during World War Two. “Some of them are strikingly similar,” he told Reuters.

Bomb attacks kill at least 24 in Iraq capital (Reuters) – AT LEAST 24 people were killed in bomb explosions in the Iraqi capital late on Monday, including blasts near two Shi’ite Muslim mosques and at a busy bus station, police and medics said.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for any of the attacks, but Shi’ites are often targeted by Sunni Islamist insurgents who have been regaining ground in Iraq over the past year and overran several towns in recent weeks.

In Monday’s deadliest attack, a minibus packed with explosives blew up at a bus station in the mainly Shi’ite district of

Ur in northern Baghdad, killing at least 11 people, police and medical sources said.

“The parked minibus inside the garage raised suspicions and when drivers started shouting for its driver, it exploded,” said bus driver Farah Abbas. “Many people were thrown back by the blast and vehicles caught fire”.

A further nine people were killed in car bomb attacks targeting mosques in Baghdad’s predominantly Shi’ite districts of Amil and Karrada, police and medical sources said.

A car bomb near a busy street in Baghdad’s western district of Ghazaliya killed four others. In separate incidents in the city of Tikrit, gunmen shot dead a police colonel and a barber inside his shop.

The army on Monday was fighting to wrest control of Sulaiman Pek from Sunni militants who took over parts of the northern town last Thurdsay and raised the black flag of the Islamic state in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) over it.

ISIL is active in the civil war in neighbouring Syria and is also present in the city of Falluja, which has been under siege by the army since January 1, when militants took over.

Co-pilot hijacks Ethiopian plane to Geneva, exits cockpit by rope (Reuters) - A CO-PILOT who hijacked an Ethiopian Airlines flight to seek asylum in Switzerland on Monday surrendered to police at Geneva airport after jumping out of a cockpit window and scrambling down an emergency rope.

T h e a i r l i n e r ’s s e c ond-in-command, named by Ethiopia as Hailemedhin Abera Tegegn, 31, took control of the plane when the pilot left the cockpit to use the toilet. He then sent a coded signal announcing he had hijacked his own aircraft.

With the airliner on the tarmac, an unarmed Hailemedhin made his exit via a cockpit window, without harming passengers or crew, police spokesman Pierre Grangean told a news conference.

“Just after landing, the co-pilot came out of the cockpit and ran to the police and said, ‘I’m the hijacker.’ He said he is not safe in his own country and wants asylum,” Grangean said.

The airliner could later be seen with a knotted yellow rope dangling from an open cockpit window.

The opposition and rights campaigners in Ethiopia accuse the government of stifling dissent and torturing political

detainees. But it is rare for state officials and employees Ethiopian Airlines is run by the state - to seek asylum. The last senior official to do so fled to the United States in 2009.

Ethiopia said Hailemedhin had worked for Ethiopian Airlines for the past five years and had no criminal record.

“So far it was known that he was medically sane, until otherwise he is proven through the investigation which is going on right now,” Redwan Hussein, spokesman for the Ethiopian government, told a news conference.

Redwan said Ethiopia may ask for his extradition.

Ethiopian Airlines pilots had visas to travel freely to Europe, he said, adding that it made no sense to hijack one’s own plane given “that the anti-hijacking law in any country is severe” and can lead to up to 20 years in prison.

Redwan said among the 193 passengers on board the Boeing aircraft were 139 Italians, 11 American and four French nationals.

CODE “HIJACK” Flight ET702 departed the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Sunday evening and was

bound for Rome. The plane was hijacked at about 0330 GMT while over northern Italy, Grangean said. It landed at Geneva at 6:02 a.m. (0502 GMT).

He said the co-pilot, an Ethiopian born in 1983, locked the flight deck door when the pilot went to the toilet. He then asked to refuel at Geneva, landed the plane, climbed down on an emergency exit rope from a cockpit window, and gave himself up.

Robert Deillon, CEO of Geneva airport, said air traffic controllers learnt the plane had been hijacked when the co-pilot keyed a distress code into the aircraft’s transponder, “There is ... a code for hijack. So this co-pilot put in the code for ‘I just hijacked the aircraft’,” he said. As the plane was over Italy at the time, two Italian Eurofighters were scrambled to accompany it, he said.

The brief drama in Geneva on Monday morning caused the cancellation of some short-haul flights and some incoming flights were diverted to other airports. Hundreds of passengers booked on disrupted flights sought to change their tickets.

Venezuela president expels three US consular officials

(BBC News) VENEZUELA’S President Nicolas Maduro is expelling three US consular officials, accusing them of meeting students involved in anti-government protests.

The country has seen growing political tension and rallies, with three protesters dying in clashes last week.

An arrest warrant has been issued for opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who has pledged to lead a march in the capital Caracas on Tuesday.

The US has expressed concern about arrests of opposition protesters.

Mr Maduro did not name

the US officials being expelled when he made the announcement in a national TV broadcast, but said the foreign ministry would give details later.

“It’s a group of US functionaries who are in the universities. We’ve been watching them having meetings in the private universities for two months. They work in visas,” the president said.

“Venezuela doesn’t take orders from anyone!” he added.

On Saturday, US Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement expressing concern about the rising tensions in Venezuela.

“ We a r e p a r t i c u l a r l y alarmed by reports that the Venezuelan government has arrested or detained scores of anti-government protesters and issued an arrest warrant for opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez,” read the statement.

The main opposition grievances are high inflation, crime and the shortage of some staples.

The government has blamed the shortages on “saboteurs” and “profit-hungry corrupt businessmen”.

Police deny mass burial site claim, but...

(Jamaica Observer) THE police on Saturday denied the existence of a mass burial site in East Kingston, saying that its “intensive investigations” and “days of thorough searches” yielded no human remains.

However, the Jamaica Observer can report that the police went to the area only one day and they were not equipped to dig deep to determine the veracity of the claims made by a former gangster.

According to the police force’s Corporate Communications Unit, the police high command ordered the investigation in response to the January 26 Sunday Observer lead story that reported the claims of the former gang member.

The ex-gangster had told the

Sunday Observer that gunmen, assisted by rogue policemen, have been killing people and burying their bodies in the vicinity of a sand mine in Eastern Kingston.

The gunmen, he said, are based between the East Kingston community of Rockfort, and the adjoining Harbour View in East Rural St Andrew.

The former gangster took the Sunday Observer to the area, called ‘Crusher’, and pointed to the general area where, he said, bodies were buried.

However, on Saturday, the police said they were “refuting the existence of any such site”.

“After the article was published, the Police High Command instructed senior detectives of the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) to carry

out an intensive investigation into the allegations, employing assets from the Forensic Scenes of Crime and the Canine Divisions,” the Corporate Communications Unit said.

“With the assistance of the ‘former gang member’, the police were able to locate the ‘sites’. And after days of thorough searches, assisted by highly trained cadaver dogs, the lawmen were only able to find the body of a decomposing dog that was recently dumped in the area,” the police release said.

“It should also be noted that the sites where it is claimed that several bodies are buried is one of the busiest areas in East Kingston. A quarry, which employs several people, is located in that area. If claims were true, it is very likely that at some point the employees would have stumbled on some bodies,” the police release added.

“Although we are certain that what was said in the article about this story is not true, we are willing to act on any future information provided to us,” deputy commissioner of police in charge of the crime portfolio, Carl Williams, was quoted in the release.

However, the police neglected to say in its release that its search of the site was conducted only one day -- last Friday in the company of the Observer and the former gangster.

A team of policemen and two soldiers with machetes, forks, shovels, and pickaxes went to the location called ‘Crusher’, accompanied by two dogs.

The former gangster had also told the police in a meeting that bodies were buried deep in the sand, with the use of heavy-duty equipment.

He questioned the depth at which the dogs could sniff the bodies, should they be still there, as he believed that whenever the river was in spate, it washed away huge chunks of sand and earth.

Mr Lopez added: “I will be there to show my face. I have nothing to fear. I have not committed any crime. If there is any order to illegally arrest me, well, I will be there.”

Mr Maduro called on oil workers from the PDVSA state company to march to the presidential palace on Tuesday.

Justice is not blind in Guyana

EDITORIAL

The dangers of littering ONCE a country with a culture of cleanliness ingrained within its national psyche, the current state of Guyana’s environment, from end to end of the coastland, bespeaks a converse attitude of disregard for the health and well-being of the nation, as well as unconcern for the gradual deterioration in the scenic landscape of this paradise-like country, once described by colonials as “The Magnificent Province”.

Evidence of Guyana’s current culture of littering, which has become endemic to the Guyanese society, is manifest to visitors all along the highway from the CJIA, heaped intermittently in piles right until they reach their destination, sadly, in or out of the city.

Litter consists of waste products that have been disposed improperly, without consent, at an inappropriate location. To litter means to throw (often man-made) objects onto the ground and leave them indefinitely, or for others to dispose of, as opposed to disposing of them properly.

Larger hazardous items such as tyres, appliances, damaged vehicles, electronics and large industrial containers are often dumped in isolated locations on public land. It is a serious environmental issue in many countries.

Litter can exist in the environment for long periods of time before degrading and be transported long distances into the world’s oceans. Litter can affect the quality of life of both humans and lesser animals on land, as well as aquatic life.

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world, with trillions indiscriminately discarded annually. Cigarette butts can take up to five years to completely break down.

Various areas in Guyana proliferate with garbage, and show extensive littering of plastic and paper. Human waste, illustrated by the urinating man, as well as faecal matter, increase bacterial levels on land and in the water.

Throughout animal history, people have disposed of unwanted materials without fear of retribution, onto streets, roadsides, in small local dumps or often in remote locations. Prior to reforms within cities in the mid-to-late 19th Century, sanitation was not a government priority. The growing piles of waste led to the spread of disease, with plagues often wiping out thousands of lives at one instance of affliction.

To address the growing amount of waste generated by citizens, many countries have enacted solid waste disposal laws, which give authority to the environmental protection agencies of those countries to regulate and enforce proper hazardous waste disposal.

Many countries now have laws that require that hazardous waste be deposited in a special location rather than sent to landfills with regular refuse. In addition to intentional littering, almost half of the litter on roadways is now a result of accidental or unintentional littering, usually in the form of debris that falls off of improperly secured trash, recycling collection vehicles, and pickup trucks.

Illegally dumped hazardous waste may be affected by the costs associated with dropping materials off at designated sites; some facilities charge a fee for depositing hazardous materials.

Access to nearby facilities that accept hazardous waste may deter use. Additionally, ignorance of the laws that govern the proper disposal of hazardous waste may have an impact on proper disposal.

Young people cause more litter than the average Guyanese.

Automobile drivers and recreationalists, smokers and youths are specific groups that have the proclivity of indiscriminately dumping litter, despite the fact that the same individuals admit that they enjoy a clean environment.

Negligent or lenient law enforcement contributes to littering behaviour. Other causes are inconvenience, a feeling of entitlement and economic conditions. Also, unavailability of public trash and recycling service, shortage of enforcement, and habit are possible causes.

The presence of litter invites more littering. The implications of understanding the different types of litter-reduction interven-

THE NEWS in the press on Sunday, February 16, 2014, when it was reported that Appeal Court Judge, Rabi Sukul was disbarred in the UK for misleading his client in appealing a case was really a surprise. Immediately, and rightly so, the chancellor called for his resignation.

However, it has raised other issues plaguing our society. One prominent lawyer in Guyana has been behaving as if he is above the law. Sadly, he has been getting away with this for a long time without the Bar Association, nor the top echelons of the judiciary saying anything about it.

During the reign of the crime spree and the carnival of killings in Buxton, a murder took place at the Hamilton Gas Station. Nigel Hughes was somehow nearby, and he went into the station and removed the tape from the recorder which had recorded the event.

While that appears to be legal to some, as a layman, it appears highly irregular to tamper with evidence at a crime scene. Hughes was not called in for questioning by the police, nor did the Bar Association say anything about this.

No doubt, that action emboldened him to do even more mischief, as he was a central figure in instigating the events in Linden against the cutting of the subsidy on electricity in the township. The people were misled by many in the opposition parties, and three of them, unfortunately, lost their lives. Hughes was central in that.

None of the organisers and instigators were ever questioned; no one either in the Bar Association or anywhere else sanctioned them for the lawlessness which even led to the burning of a school and

the death of three protestors.

Further emboldened, the AFC, of which Hughes is the chairman, was part of the instigators of the Agricola incident in which many Indo-Guyanese were the targets for robbery and molestation.

Not one of the leaders of the two opposition parties were ever called in to be questioned; no one was charged.

More recently, it was revealed that Mr. Hughes, who defended the accused charged with murdering 11 persons at Lusignan, had been the lawyer for the Foreman on the Jury for some six years.

The jury brought in a “not guilty” verdict, even though the prosecution had an eyewitness, a member of the gang, who, by way of a plea-bargain, gave evidence against the big killers.

Where are the Bar Association and the leaders of the judiciary in all of this? Why are they so deafening in their silence?

Just recently, we saw that Mr. Hughes is once again involved in another matter; however, we will not comment on this, since it is in the courts, but it relates to property transaction with a school.

The pattern is clear: for the Bar Association, justice is not blind.

Had Hughes been a supporter of the PPP or an Indian (even neutral in his/her political views), we would not have heard the end of this.

While Sukul is paying here for what he did in the UK, and rightly so, Hughes is allowed to do as he likes, without a peep coming out of the officials in the legal profession, including the Bar Association.

What Sukul did pales into insignificance compared to Nigel Hughes.

REBECCA CONSTANCE

Palmer’s prejudicial dabbling in local politics discredits DFID MR. Joseph Harmon, an APNU/PNC Member of the Sectoral Committee on Natural Resources wants the Hon. Minister of Natural Resources to answer questions at the next committee meeting on matters raised by Janette Bulkan and John Palmer in their five-part series on the Guyana Forestry Commission’s 2005-2012 Annual Reports (SN Tuesday 4th Feb, 2014).

The questions are: who is John Palmer and is he a citizen of Guyana? Why is he interested in the GFC’s reports to make comments and raise questions? Palmer is a British citizen now living in Florida, USA. He worked for the British Government in Guyana through the department for International Development (DFID) some years ago and has teamed up with misguided anti-Government elements like Janette Bulkan to engage in wicked machinations against the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC).

But Palmer has turned his back against Great Britain where Democracy, Good Government,the Rule of law and responsible political leadership prevail and has opted, in alliance with his partner Bulkan, to support the APNU/PNC, which massively rigged elections and ruled if not misruled Guyana with a fascist fist until 1992 when the PNC was kicked out of illegal office through free and

fair elections that brought a new beginning to Guyana through the restoration of Democracy, Good Governance and the Rule of Law. Palmer is now questioning the GFC’s reports in alliance with his forest partner Bulkan, which he never did when the illegal and fascist PNC dictatorship misruled Guyana and never submitted GFC reports from 1979-1991 to Parliament. He never wrote about the lack of accountability for the Forestry Sector under the illegal PNC regime, now APNU because he was in agreement with its corrupt policies. This shows as well where Palmer has turned his back against Great Britain where Good Governance is concerned; and he must be condemned by British citizens for blatant hypocrisy and for being opportunistic.

Great Britain has always been and continues to be a good friend to Guyana, providing significant development assistance through its Department for International Development (DFID), even sending one of its sons John Palmer to work in Guyana.

Palmer, however, has turned his back on Great Britain and is now on a road to nowhere, being a victim of Osmotic pressure.

tions that will most effectively reduce littering in a given environment are essential to enhance quality of human life.

Litter can remain visible for extended periods of time before it eventually biodegrades, with some items made of condensed glass, styrofoam or plastic possibly remaining in the environment for periods. Litter travelling through storm and rainwater systems ends up in local streams, rivers, and waterways. Uncollected litter can accrete and flow into streams and drainage canals. Litter in the ocean either washes up on beaches, or settles at the bottom of oceans.

Most marine debris originate from land-based sources. This proves a great danger to aquatic life. Some litter that is collected can be recycled; however, degraded litter cannot be recycled and eventually degrades to sludge, often toxic.

Most litter that is collected goes to landfills. Litter can harm humans and the environment in different ways. Hazardous materials contained within litter and illegally dumped rubbish can leach into water sources, contaminate soil, and pollute the air.

Tyres are the most often dumped hazardous waste. Many discarded tyres end up illegally dumped on public lands. Tyres can become a breeding ground for insect vectors which can transmit diseases to humans. Mosquitoes, which breed in stagnant water, can transmit typhoid, dengue and malarial parasites.

Rodents nest in accumulated tyres and can transmit deadly diseases.When tyres are burned, they can smoulder for long periods of time, emitting hundreds of chemical compounds that pollute the air, causing respiratory illnesses and/or cancer. Additionally, the residue left behind can harm the soil and leach into groundwater.

Open containers such as paper cups or beverage cans hold rainwater and provide breeding locations for mosquitoes. In addition, a spark has the potential to hit a piece of litter, such as a paper bag, which could start a fire. Also bottles or discarded glass can start a fire through reflecting the sun’s rays.

Litter also carries substantial costs to the economy. Cleaning up litter costs millions of dollars, much more than the cost of proper trash disposal, which can run into billions per year.

Animals may get trapped or poisoned by litter in their habitats.

Cigarette butts and filters are a threat to wildlife, and have been

found in the stomachs of fish, birds and whales, who have mistaken them for food.

Also, animals can get trapped in the rubbish and be in serious discomfort. For example, the plastic used to hold beverage cans together can get wrapped around animals’ necks (as in the movie, Happy Feet) and cause them to suffocate as they grow. Other instances where animals could be harmed by litter include broken glass lacerating the paws of dogs, cats, and other small mammals; fishing nets caught on the necks of seals and turtles; or plastic swallowed. Organic litter in large amounts can cause water pollution.

Cigarettes could also start fires if they are not put out and then discarded in the environment.

Public waste containers or street bins should be provided by the local authorities to be used as a convenient place for the disposal and collection of litter. Increasingly, both general waste and recycling options should be provided. Local councils should pick the waste up and take it to be re-used or recycled. However, there are issues with this approach. If the bins are not regularly emptied, then overfilling may occur, which can increase litter indirectly.

Some local authorities will take responsibility only for rubbish that is placed in bins, which means that litter will still remain a problem. People may blame the lack of well-placed bins for their littering. Hazardous materials may be incorrectly disposed of in the bins, and they can encourage dumpster diving.

Volunteers, sometimes alone or coordinated through organisations, will pick up litter and dispose of it. Clean up events may be organised, where participants will sometimes comb an area in a line to ensure that no litter is missed.

Companies and organisations can commit to cleaning stretches of road. A number of organisations exist with the aim of raising awareness and run campaigns, including cleanup events. Government continually expends huge amounts of national revenue, but the long-term solution to the problem lies in the citizens themselves becoming aware that it is not a ‘them’ problem; that it is an ‘us’ problem, because the threat to health and public safety means that, in the words of Martin Carter, “All are involved...” So, should an epidemic break out, all would be consumed.

Empowering the opposition to defeat the Government ACCORDING to the American ambassador, Brent Hardt, LEAD will not advocate constitutional reform, or violate Guyana’s sovereignty; and the third LEAD component seeks to motivate and better equip Guyanese youth to constructively engage in political and civic processes.

He said, “We are developing a series of programme activities aimed at increasing youth interest in politics and civic affairs, while also building leadership skills among youth. These include youth debate clubs and youth civic education gatherings.” When these people are talking about youths, why do they not come out in plain talk and say “opposition supporters”?

Louis Farakhan’s deputy, Akbar Mohamed, came to Guyana and was holed up in a hotel room, unknown to security; and when caught and confronted said he came to Guyana to talk to the youths of Guyana.

He was later proven to have strong links with the PNC leadership, and had been engaging youths in Buxton and Linden. How many Indian, Chinese, Portuguese, or Amerindian youths are there in Buxton for him to talk to?

Like all those American missionaries coming and going into Guyana unknown to security until Government asks what they are here for. That was the only time Guyanese were told that those Amer-

ican ‘missionaries’ have been brought here to help PNC supporters.

Ever since the ‘White man’ left Guyana and installed PNC leaders to power and they ruled for 28 years, with all the foreign help and foreign helpers their supporters can’t uplift and get up on their own.

Well, this one made my day with so much laughter when the US ambassador said “LEAD also seeks to support the establishment of a “Women’s Parliamentary Caucus” consisting of women from each of the parties represented in the Assembly. The caucus would offer a forum for the discussion of women’s issues in Guyana, and a means to bring such issues to the Assembly in a collaborative way.”

The entire world knows American Republicans declared “war” on women. Is he in Guyana to tell women what Republicans say about a woman being “raped”? That it is God’s will or blessings if she gets pregnant by a rapist? Is he there to be keeper of women’s bodies that there can be no abortions, even in the case of rape or incest? Are Americans the right people to talk about “women’s rights”?

The governing Peoples’ Progressive Party (PPP) has rejected the

his illegal practice to court, and have him disbarred immediately! We cannot allow this nonsense to continue any longer.

project as one aimed at providing a boost to opposition parties as part of a wider plot to improve their fortunes and derail the Government.

But Ambassador Hardt has stressed that he has made it clear publicly and to the government, from the outset of this USAID engagement, that “we have been completely open and transparent.”

The PPP is right to reject, outright, his claims, and should have expelled him immediately for saying what he said, and for continuing to violate the sovereignty of our country. He carries out the American Government’s policy in other countries, so he is not acting on his own.

Relative to Greenidge’s contention that the chief justice and Govt. cannot solely approve expenditure from the national coffers, and threats of APNU taking action against Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, for what he deems unlawful expenditure, he seems to be the power in the Opposition; and even the media is wrong in calling it APNU, when in fact it is nothing but PNC’s Carl Greenidge. So, it is a sham to mislead some people, when in fact it is PNC; with the same PNC people at the top who destroyed Guyana.

In most African countries, Carl Greenidge would have been eliminated out of the equation by those that took power from his kind of rule for the pain and suffering he caused innocent people for his personal greed. Carl Greenidge should be jailed for the wrongs he perpetrated on Guyanese. He wants to again trample on the Constitution.

The US, Canada, and UK ambassadors should take note of his and his cohorts actions lately. Or perhaps, just perhaps, judging by their actions, the international community is in cahoots again with the PNC, and wants to punish Guyanese once more by installing their PNC puppets to rule and tower over the majority of Guyanese once again?

It is nothing strange when it comes to US’ so-called democracy for other countries, where minority groups rule over majority groups through extra-parliamentary intimidatory tactics, despite free, fair and transparent elections, and a Government chosen by the majority.

NEIL ADAMS

T.KING

Lawyers who subvert the laws should be disbarred and prosecuted HE calls himself a lawyer of integrity; someone who stands up for the rights of “the people”; a creditable individual who cannot stand to see injustice meted out to “innocent persons”; and the quintessential lawyer of 20th Century Guyana.

I make mention of Nigel Hughes, the “Man of the Hour”.

Or is he? That is the question for which I would secure an answer today.

I would deal with the Mae’s issue in a separate article, but will herein just look at three of the most glaring acts of this attorney who professes himself ‘incorruptible’. Yeah, right!

When you look closer at the man, you get a totally different picture than the one he is painting; instead, I immediately find a culprit who is always at the centre of every corrupt practice you can think of.

Nigel Hughes is known to have removed and tampered with crucial evidence in a murder case for which no disciplinary action was meted out to him. He is also accused of manipulating a jury foreman who was his client for a number of years, who later influenced a jury team into returning a ‘not guilty’ verdict in a high-profile murder case.

In the latter case, scores of grieving family members in the

Lusignan massacre were bereft of justice. They had to suffer the injustice of seeing their loved ones mowed down by a murderous pact, then now a further injustice in the murderers being freed because of Hughes.

How can a lawyer, sworn to uphold the laws of the land, knowingly do these things without any remorse, as to intentionally create a situation where murderous criminals can walk free when he knows that they should have been severely punished? How can this man live with himself?

Talk about living with a seared conscience! Nigel Hughes is doing just that. We are hardly even talking about self worth here; because this man’s actions display none; and his conscience seems seared as with a hot iron.

Principles of honesty and truthfulness are apparently alien virtues when the name Nigel Hughes comes up for discussion. His nature and DNA are seemingly made up of corruption. That is why he has reached into another dimension of corrupt practices in the Harding case, where he claims that the felon was baton-raped by a police officer.

The question is: how can this lawyer use a situation of a man having a pre-existing condition and turn it into a

situation of abuse? How can he try to make a case of something that just did not happen?

Overwhelmingly, the odds are against them, because all the reports, medical and otherwise, point to a criminal who is trying desperately to avoid prosecution, with his lawyer doing the unlikeliest thing in exploiting his pre-existing illness, and transforming it into a case of abuse.

But Nigel Hughes is pushing ahead in an unrestrained fervour, as he does whenever he sees an opening to get ‘easy money’; he feasts on these opportunities like carrion. This is the attorney that I see in most, if not all, of these cases to date.

Nigel Hughes has just exposed who he really is, and he should be prosecuted for his unlawful actions. But he would not do the decent thing and resign, because he still has to extricate himself from the enormous debt that has enveloped him.

Trying as hard as he is, Hughes is doing the immoral thing in trying to make money out of something that certainly is not there. This man has to be stopped legally; that is, he should be disbarred. The corrupt Bar Association, of which he is a part, will not do it, so the attorney-general should do it.

QualiTEST opens second lab at Diamond

By Shirley Thomas

FIVE months after opening its doors in Guyana, QualiTEST, an internationally-linked laboratory testing facility, with head offices at 21 First Street Alberttown, Georgetown, is expanding with a new lab at Diamond.

This second facility was officially opened last Friday at Lot 2 Diamond Public Road, East Bank of Demerara, three doors from the Diamond Regional Hospital, following the first launched on October 8, 2013.

In her brief remarks at the opening ceremony, Chief Executive Officer/Director, Yvette Irving, commented on the name of the lab ‘QualiTEST’ and stressed the importance of ‘quality assurance’ to lab testing.

She assured that the gold standard for QualiTEST is to fulfill and maintain compliance with local standards, ethics, laws and regulations.

QualiTEST, she said, has established a system that provides for the continuous monitoring and evaluation of its workflow. She assured: “This system is designed to fulfill and maintain compliance with local standards, ethics, laws and regulations and we are aspiring to move our system to fulfill international standards, enabling the data emanating from our laboratory to be accepted globally.”

On this note, Irving said that, although there can be many definitions of quality, ‘QualiTEST’ laboratory defines quality as the guarantee that each and every step in its total testing process is correctly performed by competent persons, using validated equipment and methods, thus assuring valuable and safe medical decision-making, leading to effective patient care.

Irving added that the path of QualiTEST’s workflow begins outside the laboratory’s boundaries with a provider’s request for a laboratory examination and ends outside the laboratory’s boundaries when the laboratory’s result supports a provider’s decision-making.

The opening up of the Diamond facility will make for speedy and affordable testing access to the company’s wide

range of services, whilst broadening the scope, spectrum and efficiency of laboratory testing in Guyana.

The doors were thrown open to the public immediately following Friday’s launch, and the lab will be open for business from Monday through Saturday, from 07:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs.

Testing offered at the facility includes: Cholesterol, pregnancy test, full lipid profile, other biochemistry testing related to the liver, kidney, hypertension, blood sugar tests, glucose tolerance, urinalysis, serology for dengue, malaria, VDRL, H-Plyori and more.

The least turn-around time will be about two hours before results are available, according to Phlebotomist/Receptionist Sonia Kerutt.

Providing friendly but highly efficient and professional service at the facility will be trained staff, including CEO/ Director, Yvette Irving; Technical/Quality Manager, Maricea Comacho; Medical Lab Technician, Raymond Pyle and Phlebotomist/Receptionist, Sonia Kerutt.

With CEO, Yvette Irving at the helm of the company, specialising in state-of-the-art lab testing, is geared to offer and at the same time achieve much in the line of laboratory medicine.

Irving outlined that research has shown that 80-90 per cent of all diagnoses is made based on laboratory testing data. In the absence of laboratory data test-

ing or on account of emergencies the other 20 % of diagnosis or medical decisions have to be made using clinical observation.

In this regard the director stressed, “Laboratory medicine, when practiced, should set high quality standards.” She said regulation of quality in the health care sector is based on and includes certification of a facility and staff, accreditation, quality monitoring and standardisation.

With new diseases constantly emerging and existing ones becoming even more prevalent, Irving is of the view that the scope is getting wider for laboratory testing. “Testing menus should be wider now for these infectious markers, especially cancer markers too. Albeit, it is not just widening your scope but also widening the quality of your testing, and that is why labs need to get accredited because people are going to come from all parts of the world and when they get sick in Guyana they will have to have tests done, and the tests will only be accurate and precise when the lab is accredited, or the test results will not be recognized globally,” she concluded.

Irving, who has distinguished herself as one of the country’s leading practitioners in laboratory research, has given yeoman service in this field for several years. Earlier in her profession, Irving functioned as Superintendent of Labs, Georgetown Hospital/Ministry of Health, and later Country Lab

Director, then eventually Director of Standards and Technical Services.

She later became National Director of Laboratory Services at the Ministry of Health, responsible for all lab testing facilities (both public and private) across Guyana.

In 2009 she proceeded to Ghana, Africa where her work involved supporting the President’s Emergency Programme for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Project, strengthening laboratories. After spending two years, though still linked to the CDC Programme, headquartered in Uganda, she has returned to serve the people of the Caribbean.

Ms. Irving is currently a part of the African Field Epidemiology Network, the Implementing Partner for the Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) and works along with CDC Caribbean (Barbados) with head offices based in Uganda.

Her work involves preparing laboratories for ac-

creditation in the Caribbean, preparing their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Management and Technical Procedures; Quality Manual

and the like, for international accreditation. At this time twelve labs are being prepared for international accreditation in the Caribbean.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana...

Exposing de truth giving ‘dem boys’ medical complications FOR many years, the lies ‘dem boys’ would write was basically allowed to go unchallenged, and so the reading public actually believed what they said. Over time, they felt so powerful, their stories became more outlandish.

One time they plastered a big photo on their front page with a caption titled, ‘Enmore Market a white elephant’, and showing an enclosed tarmac recently constructed by the PPP/C Government, with just empty stalls.

What they didn’t tell the public was that like all other markets which developed around the sugar estates, this one also only operated on ‘pay day’, usually on Fridays. So, the devious people decided to go another day when the market was not in operation and snapped the picture; and then big headline. This is the nature of the people over at the ‘Once-upon-a-time’ newspaper.

Old Kai has been ‘skinnin up’ deh dubious operation over dere, and all of a sudden every man jack start fuh get sick. The “book thief” claim how he get heart attack; ‘Burnham Boy’ holler how he blood pressure high and he dizzy for many days; de one from Bachelors Adventure who always feel he like Samuel L Jackson in ‘Shaft’, get cholesterol and diabetes; and even ‘Fancy Suit’ man get diarrhoea.

Then there is ‘dem boys’ who does hide-hide and write. Dem does come and talk nice, nice to you, and then as soon as you back turn, a whole heap ah lies they does write. But is just a matter of time before de truth catch up wid dem too. Old Kai got all deh files, including de two who does play big family men and end up on North Road late at night.

At Demerara Assizes…

Model prisoner gets 10 years for manslaughter JUSTICE Franklyn Holder, last Friday at the Demerara Assizes, jailed 46-year-old Morris Roberts called ‘Moses’ for 10 years after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

The prisoner had been indicted for the murder of Martin Daniels on August 15, 2009, but his plea to the lesser count was accepted.

The victim and several other members of the Wanakai Creek, North West District village had met at Jude Barrow’s residence for a ‘Kayak’, an occasion on which people in a community get together to help out one member for that day.

State Prosecutrix Judith Mursalin said too much high wine drinking was the cause of the problem.

Daniels had begun to taunt Roberts, telling him that he was living off old people’s money and the latter became angry and struck Daniels three times behind his head with a piece of wood.

Roberts ran away but Daniels was rushed to the Mabaruma Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Three days later, Roberts went to the police and reported that he was the man persons saw kill Daniels.

JURY DISAGREED At his first trial, the jury disagreed on a verdict.

But, when his case was called, last Friday, defence counsel, Clarissa Rheil told the judge that the convict was a father of eight children and, in mitigation, she urged that the prisoner be given an opportunity to spend some time with his family.

Speaking for himself, Roberts said he was sorry for what happened during his drunken state and that rum was responsible for all that had taken place.

However, the judge pointed out that he could not accede to the request to send him home.

Instead, he approached sentencing from a starting point of 30 years.

From that, he deducted five years for the time Roberts was incarcerated and 15 years for his being a model prisoner as stated by the prison authorities.

Those deductions reduced the sentence to 10 years, for which Roberts thanked the judge before being led away to serve his time.

Is one sick bunch of them we have over there, but is now we seeing deh true colours. We not lettin’ up de pressure until they begin to talk de truth; not De Professor version of de truth dat he sing ‘bout, but de whole truth, and nothing but de truth.

Talking ‘bout truth, Old Kai has noticed dat de ‘Ram-Goat Man’ has joined the Granger bandwaggon calling for national inquiry. This attempt at giving Granger some breathing space from the pressure will fail. Ram of all people should not talk about enquiry into professional ethics, lest we forget his involvement in Hotel Tower and Guyana Stores.

Then there is the fact that he has been accused of using private clientele information to publicly attack businesses that have decided to engage other auditing firms. Now this should be the source of an inquiry, as such allegations can also be construed as attempts at ‘economic blackmail’.

But then, this should also come as no surprise to us, because he has been trying to do the same thing to our people at

a national level. There is also our boy, Granger, who has come out and stated that his party is committed to passing the AML/ CFT amendment Bill before the latest deadline announced by the Regional Taskforce. Who does he really think he is fooling? Whatever happened to all those other deadlines that we have missed because of the deliberate stalling tactics by APNU and the AFC? Again, this should come as no surprise to us, because the policy position, as set up by the Opposition, is to make our country ‘ungovernable’. Unlawfully cutting the budget, chasing away investors, trying to kill transformative projects, forcing consumers to pay more for electricity, getting Guyana financially blacklisted are all critical elements of their plan.

So, for all those who still believe the Opposition has the best interest of our nation at heart, stop dreaming! Wake up and remember that they publicly warned us that we were ‘collateral damage’!

Ganga Persaud replacement…

Rohee discloses preliminary talks but no formal decision PEOPLE’S Progressive Party (PPP) General Secretary, Clement Rohee has disclosed that preliminary talks have taken place on the replacement for former Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud.

“We have not come to a formal decision,” said Rohee, speaking at his weekly press conference, yesterday, in Freedom House, Robb Street, Georgetown.

According to him, no candidates have been shortlisted as yet.

“It is our expectation, to fill vacancies, we would sit together and

discuss these matters and determine who would be the best candidate and the best timing to do so,” Rohee said.

He pointed out, though, that ahead of considering a personality for the position is consideration of the qualifications required to execute the functions of the vacant office.

“First and foremost is the task and then we move to the person,” Rohee stated.

The former minister was notably absent from the last sitting of the National Assembly and when asked about his absence, the Gen-

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday February 18, 2014 eral Secretary explained that a statement is likely to be made soon, clarifying Persaud’s continuance as a Member of Parliament (MP).

PERSONAL REASONS Persaud’s resignation as minister became effective January 31, 2014 and, in a press statement announcing it, the former minister cited personal reasons.

He emphasised that he remains committed to supporting President Donald Ramotar and the current administration.

“As a member of the leaderGanga Persaud ship of our Party, I wish to restate my commitment to working with the PPP in enhancing our chances at the next General and Regional Elections, so as to reclaim the majority in the Parliament,” Persaud had said.

He added: “This is so important for Guyana’s continued growth and development, since no other political party can assure our country’s development other than the PPP.” Persaud’s appointment as Minister of Local Government and Regional Development was announced by President Ramotar on December 5, 2011.

Accused pig-thief remanded until March 3 CALVIN Francis, of Lot 73 Princes Street, Lodge, Georgetown, was refused bail yesterday, when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on a simple larceny charge.

He pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said, on Monday, February 10, at Princes Street, he stole one pig valued $65,000, property of Jean Bacchus.

Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said, the virtual complainant fed the animal around 13:30 hrs that day but when she returned to check on it around 16:20 hrs, she discovered it was missing.

The prosecutor said Bacchus made a report to the police and an investigation was carried out, which revealed that persons saw the defendant in the pig pen.

Francis declared that he did not steal the pig but saw it lying on the road after being struck down by a truck.

He admitted picking up the pig and someone came up to him, asking him questions to which he responded that the person should mind their own business.

The defendant confessed that he took the pig and sold it at Bourda Market. He further informed the court that he was previously convicted of simple larceny.

The prosecutor, successfully objected to pre-trial freedom for Francis, citing the nature and seriousness of the crime and the case was put off to March 3.

World Bank Director and team pay courtesy call on Education Minister MS. SOPHIE Sirtaine, the World Bank’s Director of the Management Unit for Latin America and the Caribbean, paid a courtesy call on Education Minister, Priya Manickchand during her visit to Guyana with a team of World Bank officials last Wednesday.

The Ministry of Education and the World Bank have enjoyed a successful longstanding relationship. With support from the World Bank, the Guyana Government successfully completed the Secondary School Reform Programme (SSRP) and the Education for All Fast Track Initiative (EFA/FTI) Project, which was started in 2006 and was completed in 2013.

As the Government of Guyana continues to improve the education sector, the World Bank has committed its technical and financial support for the Guyana Improvement Teacher Education Project (GITEP) and the UG-Science and Technology Support Project (UG-STSP). These projects are currently ongoing.

National Community Policing Executives (NCPE) commend several CPGs for sterling performances on patrol

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday February 18, 2014 SEVERAL Community Policing Groups (CPGs) have been commended by the National Community Policing Executives (NCPE) for their sterling performances in the execution of their mandate.

The NCPE commended the Mosquito Hall Community Policing Group (CPG) of the East Coast of Demerara for its admirable performance on patrol on February 1st, 2014, when the vigilance of eight members along with a police constable from the Mahaica Police Station resulted in the detention of murder suspect, Radesh Guyadeen, who had been wanted for the 2003 murder of Nandram Manouar.

That patrol was at Unity, Mahaica at around 21:00 hrs on February 1st when members engaged and arrested two men whose suspicious movements had attracted their attention, one of whom was Guyadeen. The men were taken to the Mahaica Police Station and handed over to the police, and Guyadeen was later charged.

The NCPE also commended the CPG at Grove, East Bank of Demerara for its performance on patrol on Sunday, February 9th, 2014, when a patrol comprising of two rural constables and a cadet officer from the Diamond Police Station discovered a hijacked silvercoloured Toyota 212 car on Busby Dam in the “Cuffy Koker” area.

The NCPE has also commended members of the Grove, East Bank of Demerara CPG, along with the Cadet Officer of the Diamond Police Station, for their performance on patrol on Wednesday, February 12th, 2014, when, acting on information, they uncovered 513 grammes of leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis sativa (marijuana) in a one-gallon plastic paint container on the premises of Radha Seeta Persaud at Lot 988, Section C, Block ‘Y’, Golden Grove, East Bank of Demerara.

Persaud is now assisting the police with their investigations into that discovery.

UNRCC, UNICEF & NAPS collaborate to host multi-stakeholder consultation on National Peer Education Programme THE UNITED Nations’ Rights of the Child Commission (UNRCC), in partnership with UNICEF and the National Aids Programme Secretariat, will be hosting the opening of the multi-stakeholder consultation on the establishment of the National Peer Education Programme, on February 17, 2014 at the Regency Hotel on Hadfield Street, Georgetown from 9am.

The central idea undergirding the peer education concept is that young people themselves will be educated and empowered to serve as educators of their fellow peers. Thus the cadre of peer educators that would be assembled will serve as substantive instruments or agents of change.

It is the ultimate manifestation of the UNICEF/UNRCC child participation project implemented in 2013.

The first activity adopted towards the establishment of the peer education programme was the First Stakeholder Consultation, which took place in March of 2013 when representatives of stakeholders, in their deliberations, noted, inter alia, the absence of standards, guidelines, common curriculum, code of ethics, supervision and monitoring & evaluation.

Thus the multi-stakeholder consultation, planned for February 17, is essentially a response to the pertinent observations cited above.

Five couples contest reality show to win Roraima sponsorship of their wedding

By Ravin Singh

WEDDING Expo is just around the corner and couples are anticipating a lifelong commitment.

To add spice to this commitment, Captain Gerald “Gerry” Gouveia, Managing Director of the Roraima Group of Companies (RGC), has promised to sponsor the wedding of one lucky couple from a group of five couples shortlisted to participate in the “RGC Reality

will give them a chance to demonstrate their love. They will not only be tested in front of the camera, but behind the scenes as well.

Captain Gouveia noted in remarks that “couples have the tendency to put up a show in front of the camera, but we will know the ones who are faking it”.

The five shortlisted couples were taken on an all-expenses-paid trip to Arrowpoint Resort on Saturday last,

from across the world to Guyana’s interior.

He said that tourism has been identified as a sector that can foster development by attracting overseas visitors to experience the unique flora and fauna to be found here. To this end, new airlines and the expansion of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport are in train to take advantage of the new opportunities available, along with the construction of the soon to be opened Marriott Hotel, the Prime Minister said.

The fact that Guyana has been listed as one of the top 21 places to visit in 2014 by the prestigious National Geographic Traveler Magazine was also noted by him. He also took the opportunity to announce the presentation of a $5M cheque to the organisers as a show of government’s support for the inaugural event.

For Tourism Minister (ag) Irfaan Ali, the event was about being able to experience global music. “Music is one of the most beautiful forms of bringing people together, cultures together, and having humanity embracing one another.”

Minister Ali, observing the large influx of overseas guests and performers, reminded them that they could always extend their stay in what he described as the cleanest most beautiful area in Guyana. The minister also commended the organisers for initiating the programme and using local talent and skills to ensure its success.

The event was also described by Foreign Affairs Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett as a unique way to showcase the interior of Guyana to many who believe that Guyana basically starts and ends on the coastal region. It will also benefit surrounding indigenous communities, she noted, and they will learn from it.

Co-ordinator Colin Edwards said that the event was not easy to organise, and whilst he acknowledged that some mistakes may have been made next year’s festival would build on and improve what was described by many who attended as a wonderful event.

Edwards thanked all the entities that made it possible, such as the government, the Ministries of Tourism and Amerindian Affairs, embassies, local banks and a myriad of private sponsors.

Annai’s toshao, Mark George, also welcomed the hundreds of visitors and urged them to enjoy what he termed as, “the most beautiful part of Guyana”. He asked them to encourage others to come and experience what the community has to offer.

The performers included Marc Mathews (spoken word) and Keith Waithe (jazz & world flautist) Chuckie’ (Marlon Adams) and the Buxton Children’s group, Fusion African drumming, Raghu’s Indian Tassa drummers, Ras Camo, Indus Voices & Dance Words, Trevor Rogers, Desmond Atherly, Desmond Atiwell and the Surama Cultural Group.

International performers were Zambian Namvula, Filligar (USA), Iryna Muha (UK/Ukraine), Ramon Goose (UK), Pavel Ván? (Czech Republic), Aref Durvesh (UK),and Drew Gonsalves (Canada via Trinidad). (GINA)

Ruling party slams APNU for ‘lies’

By Vanessa Narine GENERAL Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party, Clement Rohee, yesterday flayed the Opposition for what he described as “lies to misinform, misrepresent, misguide and mislead” the public and discredit the ruling party.

He said, “The People’s Progressive Party has taken the opportunity to expose the opposition APNU and other opposition elements for grossly misinforming, misguiding and misleading the Guyanese people.

“The Opposition (PNC-led APNU) and the acolytes of the AFC have in recent weeks been making visits into the interior areas and coughing up ‘findings’, which are mostly figments of their imaginations.”

Rohee was speaking at the

party’s weekly press conference held at Freedom House, Robb Street, where he sought to clarify the “misrepresentations” made by the Opposition.

“As General Secretary of the governing People’s Progressive Party, I have asked our party activists and the regional officials on the ground to investigate and report on these bizarre opposition charges,” he said.

UNTRUE To this end, Rohee noted that the report clarified the untrue claims.

According to him, contrary to APNU’s claims, there was no flooding of any farmlands in the Upper Mazaruni.

“In those areas where there are agricultural activities the rainfall water runs off very

quickly,” he said.

The general secretary added that the Bartica Hospital is not dilapidated; rather the facility is under constant upgrade.

He said, “Extensions are being done to accommodate additional services to citizens, including more surgeries. The hospitals and health centres in the region are well stocked with medications while there may be times when some drugs may not be available. This is the exception rather than the rule.”

Rohee also addressed the claim that the Waramadong School is overcrowded with some 600 students and is understaffed.

“The truth is that the Waramadong School was built to accommodate 500 students and has an authorised staff strength of 21,” the general secretary

said, “This is well within the national average student-to-staff ratio. The current student population is 487 and with two staff members attending the CPCE (Cyril Potter College of Education) there are 19 members of staff on hand.”

He stressed too that regional officials are appalled at the call for x-ray equipment for the Kamarang Health Centre, especially since it is known that the centre is slated for a major upgrade starting this month.

“Not only has an X-ray unit been procured, but also an ultrasound machine and a generator. These should be fully operational within a few weeks. Along with the resident doctor, the people of the Kamarang sub-region will have much better facilities and care than ever before. The PPP is about expanding health facilities to all our people,” Rohee said.

The ge ne ra l s e c re ta ry dubbed the claims unnecessary hullaballoo. He said, “The APNU strategy of casting aspersions, misrepresenting facts and creating their own stories has been used in the National Assembly by their senior officials.

“The PPP commends the regional officials who have been advancing the central government developmental agenda on behalf of the Guyanese people and who have had to take their valuable time to answer the wicked misrepresentation of the political opposition.”

Rohee also commended the officials for their “great sacrifice

and commitment” to work hard to execute the programmes for the uplift of the people of the interior regions.

“The hullabaloo that the APNU team created made it sound as if they are the divine gift to Guyanese when in fact they are mere alarmists,” he opined.

BASELESS The general secretary referred too to the “onslaught” of misinformation “perpetuated in the media”, with “baseless and spurious” accusations relating to payments to regional officials.

He said, “Like the detractors of Region 7 the Opposition elements in Region 8 have publicly accused the PPP Administration of neglecting the elected officials and starving the regional chairman and councillors of resources. “…what is important to note, is that after the public exposés, unfounded allegations, half-truths, the distortions of information and the usual disparaging references against the regional executive officer, a formal request from the regional chairman was only recently presented by him to the REO for an explanation.”

According to him, all regional councillors received on time and in full, all stipends due to them for the year 2013, payments for which the documented evidence is available, showing the date each councillor signed receiving same.

He said, “The chart of Account 6211 (a budgetary line

item) is used exclusively to honour all expenses associated with the operations of the Regional Democratic Council(RDC), for example, RDC meetings, regional chairman and vice-chairman expenses and payment of stipends.

“At the end of the financial year in 2013, expenses exceeding that of the allocation under line item 6211 were honoured by funds emanating from those earmarked for the Office of the regional executive officer. This has been the trend over the past two years.

“For 2013 $14m was voted for this provision, all was spent.

What is instructive is that the amount spent on subsistence for the regional chairman for travel outside the region was in excess of $1.1m. I repeat this is for travel outside of the region.”

Rohee added that another $1.2m was spent on office materials, field supplies and other supplies for the regional chairman, while $4.4m was spent on travel and subsistence for the regional chairman and other councillors to attend RDC meetings and other regional functions.

He stated too that some $6m was spent on stipends for the councillors and the toshaos and there were no charges to this account that represented expenditure for non-RDC expenses.

The general secretary made it clear that the Government is committed to exposing, where needs be, the inaccuracies perpetrated by the Opposition.

Five couples contest reality show to ...

(FROM PAGE 13) ute speedboat ride down the Kamuni Creek to the nature resort. Among the events they engaged in during that day were a nature walk through the trail, kayak racing, mountain biking, volleyball competition, and a hearty lunch.

The couples were settled into a forum where questions pertaining to relationships and love were thrown at them to garner their views and have them share their experiences.

A very observant Captain Gouveia dominated the forum with questions, before the couples were allowed to head to the trail for a short leg race, followed by the kayaking, which was won consecutively by Romel and his fiancée Nazeema.

Lunch was served soon after, followed by the volleyball game. The game entailed much excitement, as the couples engaged in epic battle.

Finally, the couples made their way again through the trail, where most of them experienced mountain biking for the first time. As the day came to a close and departure time approached, one couple described the experience as one they would never forget, especially the kayaking.

That sentiment was echoed by other couples, who added that the experience was one any couple would dream of.

Following Saturday’s events at Arrowpoint, the couples were taken on an aerial tour of Georgetown on Sunday.

The approximately fifteen-minute-tour commenced from the Ogle International Airport and proceeded over the neighbouring East Coast villages to the coastline, heading to the Demerara Harbour Bridge, affording the couples a first time aerial view of landmarks such as the Marriott Hotel, the St. George’s Cathedral, the National Park and other sites.

As fearful as many of the females were, the experience was nevertheless breathtaking for them.

One female among the couples disclosed, “We have never been in an aircraft, and I was very afraid. I don’t know about him (my prospective husband), but I can tell you that I enjoyed

myself. Guyana is really a beautiful country and only when we experience certain things then we can realise that.”

The next round of the competition will be an unexpected visit to the homes of the contestants, to assess their living environment and judge them based on how they cooperate as a couple.

The public will vote for the

winning couple via Facebook, but the selected judges will have the final say. The winning couple will then have its wedding sponsored by the Roraima Group of Companies, to take place at Duke Lodge on March 29, 2014.

The Annual Wedding Expo will commence on March 28 and conclude on March 30. The entrance fee has been set at Gy$500.

CARICOM Heads postpone inter-sessional meeting THE 25th Inter-Sessional Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), scheduled for Buccament Bay, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has been postponed from February 24 and 25 to March 10 and 11.

The CARICOM Secretariat said the postponement was necessary as the original dates were inconvenient to some Heads of Government.

The 24th meeting was held in Port-au-Prince, Republic of Haiti, from February 18 to 19, 2013, when President Michel Joseph Martelly presided.

Human resource development, health and HIV/AIDS, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), border issues and external trade were among the matters addressed at that forum.

Aries March 21 - April 19

There are a few new people on the scene who would be a great addition to your social life, so why not put something together so everyone can get to know each other better? It’s a great time for a party, and chances are very good that new connections will be solidified.

People you know all share certain charms and characteristics, which makes adding new folks into the mix pretty easy -- and a whole lot of fun. There could even be a romantic interest brewing, so give it a push.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

This could be a very unpredictable day for you, where you’ll get to take three steps forward -- but then be forced to take two steps backward. The only sure forward-moving thing will be the sweet romance that is slowly building in your life! It’s giving you all the encouragement you need to keep thinking positive throughout the day. Whenever you get stressed, you can just think of that certain someone -- and a smile will spread all over your face.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

The universe is sending you some high energy today, and it’s just what you have been needed to get started on a project at home! Maybe you want to repaint the kitchen, fix a broken window, or just clean out a closet -- whatever you’ve been putting off will suddenly seem like the best way to spend your day! This change in outlook will surprise a few people, but secretly they will admire your industrious turn. In fact, they might even offer to help you out!

Cancer June 22 - July 22

As you embark upon a new relationship or project, it’s only natural that a failed relationship or project from the past should enter your mind. But before you start focusing on all the similarities, look at the contrasts! You can’t start letting the past cast a shadow over your present -- you need to stay open and positive right now. It can be hard to do push your fears aside, but you can if you push hard enough and often enough. Whenever stinkin’ thinkin’ pops into your mind, push it out!

Leo July 23 - August 22

Some of the people around you have a bad attitude about what has been going on, while you have a much brighter outlook. Don’t try to change their mind, though. If they can’t see the bright side of things, then you certainly won’t be able to help them! You need to surround yourself with people who already have an optimistic attitude about things, not a bunch of naysayers who always love to criticise but never have any bright ideas of their own. Negative energy is not fun, so get away from it.

Virgo August 23 - September 22 For Tuesday February 18, 2014 -05:00hrs For Wednesday February 19, 2014 -05:00hrs

You will be the recipient of a beautiful gift today, although it won’t be a material good.

Someone will give you the gift of understanding something new. You are developing a deep and meaningful appreciation for the subtle connections between people -- when two strangers can look each other in the eye and immediately understand each other. An innocent conversation meant to kill time will plant an idea in your head that you will be tossing around for days.

Libra September 23 - October 22

Today you are craving substance over style. So if you are trying to start a new relationship, seek out a person to whom you really feel an intellectual connection, not just someone you like flirting with. A physical attraction is important, but you are ready to engage with someone’s mind and find out what really makes them tick! If you are already in a relationship, take things to the next level with them. They’re ready for more substance too.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

Everyone is on the same page as you today, and basically anything you suggest, no matter how outlandish or odd it might seem, will be adopted and accepted. You’re in an ideal position to be a leader today, so steer your coworkers or friends toward the right option!

While your decisions may be hard to make, try not to let anyone see the struggles you have to go through. They have complete confidence in you, so why start putting any doubt in their heads?

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

There won’t be too much liveliness or excitement around your group today, so you can’t expect to get a lot done unless you can wake everybody up! Get everyone to step out of their usual routine and start thinking outside the box by showing them how you do it -lead by example and show them how much fun it can be to dissect new challenges and brainstorm new ways of reaching goals. Once you get people talking, getting them moving will be easy. You are a born leader.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

You’re going to have some transportation issues today -- getting to where you need to be when you need to be there will become one of your biggest challenges. Either your car or someone else’s car will be suddenly out of play and you could be forced to change your plans and become reliant on others. It’s a good thing that you are so flexible, because you are going to have to be ready to pivot and change directions at any given moment. But it will be more fun than frustrating.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

You can give your social life the biggest boost by being more adventurous. Connect with someone you normally would not socialise with. Ask your boss to join you for lunch, or find out if your neighbour wants to join you for a cup of coffee. Getting more familiar with unfamiliar people is a great way to stay in tune with what is going on around you.

Plus, it’s a great way to lay the groundwork for a bigger and smarter social network. And that’s good for your career!

Pisces February 19 - March 20

The best way for you to get the inspiration you are seeking in your work life, love life, or your personal growth is to observe someone who is already living the life you think that you want to live. Ask them questions and take some very detailed notes! Learning more about how they do what they do will give you a useful blueprint to follow. It’s time to pick a path to take in life, not just go along in the same direction that everyone else is going.

McCullum becomes first New Zealander to score a triple century in Tests

BRENDON McCullum became the first New Zealander to score a triple century in Test cricket as the hosts’ amazing recovery continued against India on the fifth morning of the second Test.

The captain’s 647-minute knock ended when he fell for 302 from 559 balls.

He shared a sixth-wicket stand of 359 with debutant Jimmy Neesham (137 not out) as the hosts declared on 680-8 in Wellington from a precarious 94-5.

As well as being the Kiwis’ highest Test score, it was a world-record score for a third

innings in Test cricket.

The 32-year-old McCullum surpassed the 299 Martin Crowe made at the same venue against Sri Lanka in January 1991 to become New Zealand’s first triple centurion, and only the 27th in Test history.

His side had been staring defeat in the face when, with five wickets down and needing another 152 runs to prevent an innings defeat in the second Test, Neesham joined McCullum at the crease.

Their record-breaking stand gave New Zealand a glimmer of a chance of victory.

India need 435 from a minimum of 69 overs to square the two-Test series.

10th RHTYSC Busta Champion of Champions

RHTGG, Albion, Port Mourant and Young Warriors advance to semifinals … five batsmen hit 50s, Moore snares 5

THE 10th edition of the now popular Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC)-organised, Guyana Beverage Company Busta-sponsored ‘Champion of Champions’ 50 overs tournament finally got under way last Saturday after being delayed for over three months due to the rainy season.

The tournament, which is featuring the top eight first division teams in the Ancient County and was first organised in 2004, saw opening round wins for Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets (RHTGG), Albion, Port Mourant and Young Warriors, who have all advanced to the semifinals.

Defending champions RHTGG crushed Upper Corentyne by nine wickets at the Area ‘H’ ground, limiting their opponents to 173 for 9, after they got a flying start from openers Fawaz Mohamed (14) and Somedat Singh (17), who posted 31 for in just four overs.

They slipped to 90 for 6 in the 20th over but solid batting from Deoprakash Ramdat 27, Lakeram Latchman 16 and Parmeshwar Chatterpaul led them to their eventual total, as national Under-19 skipper Shawn Pereira claimed 3 for 27 and Shailendra Shameer 2 for 15.

There was a wicket each for Royston Crandon, Clinton Pestano and Eon Hooper for RHTGG, who in reply scored 177 for 1 in 32.1 overs, thanks to Delbert Hicks 85 (8x4, 2x6) and Dominic Rikhi 65*, who added 139 from 22.1 overs for the first wicket, while Jason Sinclair chipped in with an unbeaten 22.

Devendra Bishoo At the Port Mourant ground, the home team brushed aside the challenge of Universal Solutions Bermine by 75 runs.

Port Mourant were indebted to a classy top score of 55 from the talented Joshua Ramsammy as they scored 189 in 47 overs, as Ramsammy received support from Andrew Lyght Jr 27 and Yogendra Harrinarine 25.

Kevin Pellew 3 for 27 and Stephen Latcha 2 for 22 were the successful bowlers for Universal Solutions Bermine, who in reply were bundled out for a paltry 114 in just 29.2 overs.

Only Keon De Jesus 45 and Joemal La Fleur 19 offered any resistance to the destructive bowling of left-arm spinner Robert Moore 6 for 13 and off-spinner Devindra Thakurdeen 2 for 21.

Young Warriors held their nerves to squeeze past Blairmont by just three runs at the Cumberland ground in Canje.

The home team was indebted to a fine innings from Kevin Ramdeen who held his team’s innings together with a patient 53 (5x4, 1x6) after they had slumped to 1 for 2 in the third over. Suresh Dhanai 28 and Vishal Mohabir 22 offered support as Young Warriors were dismissed for 149 in 41 overs.

Promising leg-spinner Kevin Jawahir 4 for 23 and

left-arm spinner Deveshwari Prashad 3 for 27 bowled well for Blairmont, who in reply were bowled out for 146 in 42.1 overs, Rameshwar Samaroo who batted at number 11 was run-out in a terrible mix-up.

Jawahir returned with the bat to top score with 45 while Altaz Khan 21 and Parmanand Ramdhan 20 offered support, against the bowling of Dhanai 2 for 28, Shaquille Williams 2 for 19 and Hubern Evans 2 for 13, who were the best bowlers for the home team.

Playing at the Albion ground, Albion defeated West Berbice by six wickets in their fixture, scoring 141 for 3 in 32.1 overs, in reply to West Berbice’ 140 all out off 46.2 overs.

West Berbice, who won the toss and elected to take first strike, saw former Berbice Under-19 player Leroy Bristol topscoring with 28 and received support from Kellon Carmichael 24 and Sherwin McPherson 20.

National leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, Veerasammy Permaul and Anthony Bramble were the lone players not to contract the flu bug that plagued the Malta Supreme Guyana team in the just concluded NAGICO Super50 tournament. Bishoo took 4 for 26, while Permaul and Jonathan Foo supported with two wickets each.

In Albion’s reply, former national Under-19 opener Kandasammy Surujnarine struck six fours in his unbeaten 50, while Bishoo returned to hit seven fours in his unbeaten 48 to steer their team home, even as Keon Joseph snared 2 for 28 for West Berbice.

McCullum torments India with another double ton

By Greg Stutchbury

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) - New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum struck a second double century in successive Tests to bat his side to safety at the end of the fourth day of the second Test against India at Wellington’s Basin Reserve yesterday.

McCullum was on 281, his highest Test score and the second highest by a New Zealander, at the close of play after having shared a world record stand for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper BJ Watling who was dismissed for 124 in the third over after tea.

Debutant Jimmy Neesham was on 67 at the close of play with the hosts on 571 for six, a lead of 325 runs and seemingly in a position where they cannot lose the match and series with a day’s play remaining.

New Zealand had won the first Test at Eden Park by 40 runs and India had needed to win the game to level the two-

match series.

“It has been a great day,” an exhausted McCullum told Radio Sport. “Today I thought BJ and myself were able to put ourselves in a really strong position.

“The way Neesh came in and we created that partnership we are really pleased with where we are and we have to make some decisions overnight.”

McCullum was within sight of Martin Crowe’s New Zealand best score of 299, set against Sri Lanka at the same ground in 1991 and could become the first New Zealand player to score a triple century if he continues to bat on the final day today.

McCullum and Watling had continued their resurrection of New Zealand’s innings having been thrust together at 94 for five and in danger of losing the game inside three days.

Instead, they combined for a 352-run partnership, a world record for the sixth wicket, surpassing the 351 that Sri Lankan duo Mahela

East rally to win record-setting All-Star game (REUTERS) - Kyrie Irving and Carmelo Anthony set aside the unrest with their respective teams and put on a dazzling show that vaulted the Eastern Conference to a 163-155 comeback win over the West in the highest scoring NBA All Star game ever on Sunday Irving scored 15 of his team-high 31 points during the back-and-forth fourth quarter duel and added 14 assists to seize MVP honours at the showcase in New Orleans.

“It’s a great honour,” Irving told reporters after making 14 of 17 shots and helping the East end a stretch of three straight defeats to the West.

“We had a few MVPs. Everyone out here today is an MVP.” Anthony added 30 and made an All Star record eight three-pointers, including a crucial one that gave the East a four-point lead with 1:04 remaining.

The East side trailed by 18 late in the third quarter, but rallied to light up the scoreboard in record-breaking fashion.

Their final total set a new mark while the combined score of both teams was also a record.

For Western Conference, Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin fired off 38 points apiece and shone bright as anyone with flamboyant dunks and long-range three-pointers.

“It’s an All-Star Game, and not a whole lot of defence is being played,” Blake said.

“This game is for the fans to

three-pointer that put the West on top 155-153 with just under two minutes later but the East finished with the game’s final 10 points.

The All Star weekend cemented the NBA’s change at the top where commissioner Adam Silver has taken over for David Stern who stepped down after 30 years at the post.

On the court, first-time All Stars like Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, John Wall and DeMar DeRozan filled the absence of regulars like Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan, and signalled a changing of the guard.

Andrew Jones and Crowe hold the highest partnership for New Zealand after they scored a then-world record of 467 against Sri Lanka in 1991 at the Basin Reserve.

Watling, however, fell six balls after they set the world record on the second delivery of the third new ball when he was trapped in front by Mohammed Shami for 124, ending his 367ball, 510-minute stay.

McCullum, who scored 224 in the first Test at Eden Park, is the second New Zealand batsman after Stephen Fleming to have scored three Test double-centuries.

All of McCullum’s have come against India, his first a 225 in 2010.

McCullum and Watling came together shortly after lunch on Sunday, still 152 runs from making the visitors bat again.

The naturally aggressive McCullum curbed his attacking instincts and battled problems with his shoulder and troublesome back in taking his side to a six-run lead at stumps on Sunday.

They guided New Zealand to 440 for five at tea, having notched up milestone

after milestone throughout the day with the ground announcer seemingly making a new announcement every five minutes.

Watling, who had brought up his ton when he clipped a Zaheer Khan half-volley off his legs to the midwicket fence after lunch, moved through to 124 before India took the third new ball.

Shami had a loud appeal turned down on the first delivery but was successful on the next, with Watling banging the ground with his bat and slowly walking off looking like a man who had failed to score rather than one who had potentially helped save the match for his team.

McCullum brought up his 250 with his third six and then took a minor role in his flourishing partnership with Neesham, which was worth 125 by the end of the day.

“The last hour was a bit of a daze in all honesty and I was just trying to get through,” McCullum said.

“Thankfully Neesh was playing some shots in and ticking the board over because I was just hanging in there, if I’m brutally honest.”

FIFA expects Brazil police to bring violent World Cup protests under control

By Anthony Boadle BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) - Faced with the spectre of street protests disrupting this year’s World Cup, soccer’s governing body FIFA expects host country Brazil to deploy police if necessary to contain violent demonstrators and guarantee access to stadiums.

FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke, who is touring some World Cup host cities this week, said Brazilians are democratically entitled to stage peaceful protests during the global sporting event.

“But un-peaceful demonstrations by people who are just trying to create prob-

Brazilian authorities are bracing for a new wave of protests during the World Cup and plan to deploy tens of thousands of police and have military troops on standby to secure the 12 stadiums across Brazil where the games will be played between June 12 and July 13.

In an unexpected outburst of discontent, more than a million people took to the streets during a warm-up for the World Cup last year to protest against poor public services, corruption and the high cost of the stadiums built for the FIFA event.

The protests have continued this year, though they have become smaller and more

violent with anarchist groups vandalising storefronts and banks and clashing with police.

The violent nature of the protests was brought home to Brazilians last week with the death of a TV cameraman who was struck by a homemade bottle rocket days earlier during a protest against a hike in bus fares in Rio de Janeiro.

The potential for violence marring the World Cup was highlighted by a member of one of the anarchist groups known as ‘Black Blocs’ who threatened to attack foreign delegations, in an interview published by the Estado de S.Paulo newspaper on Sunday.

Any disruption of the soccer

tournament, which was meant to mark Brazil’s coming of age on the global stage, would embarrass President Dilma Rousseff’s government and undermine her popularity as she prepares to seek re-election in October.

The ruling Workers’ Party, many of whose leaders suffered repression under military dictatorship in the 1970s, has opposed attempts in Congress to pass a bill that would equate violent protests with terrorism.

Instead, Rousseff’s government is proposing legislation to crack down on vandalism by introducing harsher prison sentences and banning demonstrators from wearing masks that hide their identities.

Brazilian authorities expect protests during the World Cup to be smaller and more violent than those seen last June.

U-19 Cricket World Cup 2014

Afghanistan stun Australia for first win AFGHANISTAN Under-19s pulled off a major upset by defeating Australia Under-19s by 36 runs in Abu Dhabi. Afghanistan’s top order were at the forefront of the victory, as Mohammad Mujtaba (75), Ihsanullah (63) and Hashmatullah Shaidi (57) all scored half-centuries to propel the team to 253.

The team had lost Usman Ghani in the first over of the innings, but Ihsanullah and Mujtaba steadied the innings with a second-wicket stand worth 126 that gave Afghanistan a solid platform to build on. For Australia, James Bazley and Cameron Valente picked up three wickets each.

Australia’s captain Jaron Morgan scored 47 to give the team a decent start, but fell in the 20th over after being caught

by Shaidi off his own bowling.

Jake Doran and Damian Mortimer added 70 for the fourth wicket, but from 143 for 3 in

the 37th over, the team were bowled out for 217 by the 48th.

James Bazley blasted a 36ball 54, but received little by way of support at the other end.

Abdullah Adil was the pick of Afghanistan’s bowlers, finishing with 4 for 45, while Sharafuddin Ashraf snared three scalps.

The victory was Afghanistan’s first of the tournament, after they had opened with a loss to Bangladesh Under-19s on Saturday. Afghanistan and Australia are both tied in Group B with two points each, with Australia slightly ahead by virtue of a better net run-rate.

“I am very proud of our team, they played so well today,” Nasir Jamal, the Afghanistan captain, said, “I don’t think many people expected us to defeat Australia but we did it and we did it convincingly.

“We hope the people at home are enjoying the victory as much as we are - we play for our country and our people

Slingerz FC Stag West Side Champions Cup now to start February 21 THE unavailability of the Uitvlugt Community Centre ground has forced organisers of the Slingerz Football Club, Stag Beer-sponsored ‘West Side’ Mashramani Champions Cup to shift the start of the tournament to Friday February 21.

Initially, the event was set to kick off tonight, but ongoing rehabilitation at Uitvlugt ground, coupled with the hosting

of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Premier League being hosted at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground, had a the final say.

Seven other clubs will be looking to wrestle the title away from Slingerz FC, who had defeated Den Amstel 3-0 to win last year’s competition. Just like 2013, the winner will pocket $500 000, second-placers $300 000, third-placers $200 000 and fourth-placers $100 000.

“The only thing that has changed is the dates,” said the Club’s General Manager Collin ‘BL’ Aaron, while noting, “So now we would play February 21 at Den Amstel while February 24, March 1, and the grand final on March 8 will be played at Uitvlugt. I know that persons have been looking forward to the start of the tournament on Sunday, but I’m sure they un-

derstand that the change is something we had no control over,” The tournament is being held for the club’s one-year anniversary and according to Aaron, “Slingerz will be having some giveaways during the tournament, just to show our appreciation to the people on the West Side who have been supporting us from day one and for those who only recently came on board.”

GSCL REPUBLIC CUP

Wolf Warriors and Regal Masters crowned champions

By Calvin Roberts

THE TIME was 23:42hrs on a breezy Sunday night at the Everest Cricket Club ground, when Man-of-the-Match Safraz Karim of Wolf Warriors held a catch at mid-off to dismiss Trophy Stall’s Nansham Boodhoo, handing his team the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc. Republic Cup and the $600 000 first prize.

Earlier in the day, Regal Masters, who had within their lineup former Guyana and West Indies off-spinner and Chairman of Selectors of the West Indies Cricket Board, Clyde Butts, within their lineup, defeated Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association Masters lineup by 22 runs to take that title.

However, it was the final of the Open category, which saw a continued rivalry between the first two champions of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company nationwide 10/10 tournament, which brought the fairsize crowd to the boundary line.

Winning the toss and opting to field first, Trophy Stall reduced their opponents 24 for 3 inside the first three overs,

To this end, president of the Camp Road-based club, Rajesh Singh, and his members cordially invite members of the public to come out and be a part of tonight’s proceedings, which forms part of the club’s activities in celebrating their Centenary Anniversary this year, as they also have on the cards, the publication of a magazine to herald in the event as well.

68, following which Vishnu Tamenchandra and Karim took the score to 116 with their 48run sixth-wicket partnership.

Tamenchandra hit Shailendra Ramnauth for 4, 4, 6 and 6 in one over, posting the 100 for his team with the second four.

After Tamenchandra was dismissed, Safraz Karim with the aid of 51 extras which included 43 wides carried Wolf Warriors to 153 for 7 from their 20 overs, against the bowling of Mark Dutchin, 2 for 29, while there was a wicket each for Shailendra Ramnauth, Sewchand Boodhoo, Fazal Rafiek and Nansham

Boodhoo.

In their reply which was done in the face of some disciplined bowling from Wolf Warriors, Trophy Stall who defeated the same opponent by nine wickets to take the GFSCA ‘Guyana Cup 11’ at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground last November, lost Rafiek (4) in the first over.

They went on to lose the wickets of Wasim Haslim (6), Kumar Bishundial (4) and skipper Randy Ketwaroo (11), to be 42 for 4 in the 8th over, with all four batsmen being dismissed in their attempt to play the sweep shot.

Sachin Singh (11) and Ravindra Ramnauth (6) pushed the score to 56 for 5, before both Singh and Ramnauth were dismissed, thanks to two magnificent catches from Safraz Karim and his brother Mohamed Karim in the 10th over.

Dutchin threw his bat, hitting three fours and a six in his 19, which together with Shailendra Ramnauth’s topscore of 20 (1x4, 1x6), brought some life and hope back to Trophy Stall’s innings, but needing 14 off the final over, they only got half of that as they were dismissed for 146 from 19.3 overs.

Persaud and Ameer Nizamudin took 3 wickets each for 26 and 29 runs respectively while Davenand Singh had 2 for 22 in the Trophy Stall’s innings, which saw Wolf Warriors send down 47 scoreless deliveries on their way to victory.

In the Masters category, Regal Masters batted first and posted 163 for 5 from their 20 overs, thanks to Man-of-theMatch Mahendra Arjune’s unbeaten 78 (6x4, 3x6), 33 from Eric Thomas and an unbeaten 23 from Mahase Chunilall, who added 112 for the fifth wicket with Arjune, piloting Regal Masters from 34 for 4 to 146.

Diaram Persaud took 2 for 18 for Floodlight Masters, who in reply were limited to 141 for 7 from their 20 overs, despite an

even 50 from Randy Khellawan who struck six fours and one six, 40 from Wayne Jones that was decorated with four fours and 13 from Patrick Khan.

Jones and Khellawan shared a partnership of 58 for the fifth wicket, moving Floodlight Masters from 78 for 4 to 136, but the bowling of Troy Kippins who snared 4 for 16, along with a wicket each for Butts and David Harper, ensured Regal Masters walked away with the $500 000 top prize and trophy, while Floodlight received $200 000 and a trophy.

At the presentation ceremony which followed immediately after the Open final, Rai and Regal Champs’ Richard Latiff received a trophy each being adjudged Best Batsman and Bowler respectively. Rai was named the Man-of-the-Series for which he received a three- piece living room suite.

Trophy Stall pocketed $200 000 and a trophy for their runner-up position while Wolf Warriors received $600 000, 15 medallions and a trophy.

In the Masters Category, Ramesh Narine was named Man-of-the-Series (living room suite), Rafiek Ali and Arjune Best Bowler and Batsman respectively, while Arjune was named the Man-ofthe-Match and his team took home 15 medallions and a trophy for their win.

GCB expresses disappointment with selection of WI teams

FOLLOWING the non-selection of any Guyanese on the West Indies team to face Ireland in three T20 Internationals commencing tomorrow in Jamaica, the governing body for the sport in Guyana, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) expressed its disappointment at the non-selection of any Guyanese player on the Windies 14-man squad.

In so doing, the GCB through a press release expressed its regret at the selection choices of the West Indies Cricket Board Selection panel headed by Guyana’s very own Clyde Butts, calling it mind-boggling, especially taking into consideration, the performances of some players in the just concluded WICB NAGICO Super50 tournament that was won by Barbados.

Below is the full release sent by the GCB, which certainly questions the criteria for selection used by the WICB Selection panel: “The GCB wishes to express its extreme regret at the selection choices of the selection panel with the teams selected to represent the West Indies during the upcoming tour of Ireland.

The GCB notes with serious concern the non-selection of any Guyanese, whatsoever, to these teams selected by the selection panel. Whilst the GCB does not subscribe to a quota system for selection, we strongly feel that players should be selected based on merit and performance.

In this regard, it is indeed mind-boggling that the selectors felt that Christopher Barnwell, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Leon Johnson, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo and Ronsford Beaton were not considered worthy of selection for any of the teams announced.

The Regional tournaments are usually the yardstick used to select representative teams for the West Indies.

Two of the above batsmen made it into the top five run aggre-

Ronsford Beaton

gates for the just concluded NAGICO Super50 tournament, even though these players did not play all of the matches and we find it rather difficult to reconcile the thought process of our selection panel.

The GCB wishes to record its extreme displeasure and loss of confidence in the selection panel and would like an explanation as to why these players were not selected, while the Guyanese public is justifiably peeved at the treatment meted out to its players by this panel and call on the WICB to investigate this situation immediately”.

OCAL amateur boxers completely dominated their Regional counterparts in the just concluded Goodwill tournament, organised by the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) and staged at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall over the weekend.

The tournament, which was staged in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and received sponsorship

from a number of corporate entities including Digicel, Ansa McAl and COURTS, saw the locals win all their fights in the final of the three-night card that attracted boxers from St Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica.

The locals dominated the championship from the first night Friday but were not on show on Saturday night, allowing the Trinidadians and Jamaicans to `run things’.

However, on the final night on Sunday, the local pugilists were on show and displayed their dominance, winning all of their bouts in the international segment of the championship.

There were three international bouts that were contested between locals, so obviously, a local won each of them, but there were also four bouts that saw locals come up against their Regional counterparts and all four were won by Guyanese, including the lone female 75kg bout between Guyana’s Theresa London and Trinidad & Tobago’s Chimere Taylor which the former won by a unanimous points decision.

In an exclusive telephone interview with Chronicle Sport, GBA’s Technical Director Terrence Poole said the tournament was a resounding success and the GBA will use that success to move ahead with its plans to further develop the sport locally and regionally.

According to Poole yesterday, the GBA received an invitation from Barbados to send a contingent of boxers for a tournament that the Barbados Boxing Association plans to stage for the annual Horrace Phillips Memorial tournament in March and the GBA is already looking at the possibility of sending a contingent.

Also, the St Lucia Boxing Association has extended an invitation to the GBA to send a contingent to that Island for a Goodwill tournament on March 28.

Asked what is next for the GBA, Poole said Guyana will be represented at the South American Games in Chile next month, then the GBA will stage the National Novices’ championships in April of this year then there is the likelihood that Guyana will be represented at the World Youth Championships to be staged in Bulgaria.
