Over 300 Trained Teachers graduate from CPCE

ON Thursday, 336 students graduated as Class 1, Grade 1 Trained Teachers from the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), when the College held its 79th Graduation Exercise and Prize Giving Ceremony. From the 336 students who graduated, 179 earned their Associate Degree in Education (ADE), while 157 students gained their Trained Teacher’s Certifi-

cate (TTC). Of the 179 ADE graduates, 22 specialised in Early Childhood Education, 63 in Primary Education, 60 studied Secondary Academic, while 34 did Secondary Pre-Vocational. Of the number that gained their Trained Teachers Certificate, 52 specialised in Early Childhood Education, 47 did Primary Education, 30 studied Secondary Academic, while 28

did Secondary Pre-Vocational. Delivering the feature address was the Chief Education Officer Mr. Olato Sam who began by revealing, that the CPCE is currently in a transformative state as it seeks to significantly enhance the quality of teacher training it offers to students. He pointed out that in order to positively affect change in the education sector here in Guyana, careful attention must be paid to improving the quality of teacher training being offered. “Any approach to transforming education to move the agenda forward must begin with and give prominence to the quality of our teaching courses,” he said. He also went on to state that as the CPCE undergoes deep sustainable changes - some which have already commenced - teacher educators will benefit from ongoing professional development, raising the level of their academic qualifications and experiences. CPCE, according to Mr Sam, will soon be establishing a world-class ICT computer lab and a state-of-art library, among other critical infrastructure developments, to align it with other internationally recognised teacher training institutions. CPCE is definitely on the right trajectory towards enhancing the quality of its teacher training programmes in Guyana, as it continues to contribute

significantly to the development of Guyana and Guyanese. However, the CEO was quick to point out that there still need to be some notable connection between the investments being made in teacher training and the delivery manifestation of that training in the classroom. “The graduates of this noble institution must reflect the

quality befitting the investments made in their training. We are yet to see the direct transfer of the best practices reflected in the training experience consistently applied all across the education system.” He also mentioned that there seem to exist some barriers affecting the transfer of teacher training to the classroom. This, he said, remains a great concern to the ministry, and that continuous assessments are being undertaken to devise strategies to remove those barriers and affect the unhindered transfer of the skills and knowledge teachers receive in training to the children in the

classrooms across Guyana. The newly trained teachers were asked to remember their noble profession, and to conduct themselves in a manner befitting its status. “You are highly intelligent, skilled graduates of the premier teacher training institution in this country, and as a result you must conduct yourself as such. You are special. In addition, you are the first recipients of the extensive induction experience specially designed to enable you to further develop your skill in a guided

IMF lauds Guyana’s strong macroeconomic performance - new report recognises country’s efforts to reduce public debt, poverty

THE Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said Guyana’s “strong macroeconomic performance” contributed to a reduction in both public debt levels and sustained poverty reduction. A report just released said: “The Directors commended the authorities for the progress, so far, in poverty reduction.” The IMF called for the current Administration to build on existing efforts to ensure a more even distribution of the benefits from economic growth. “In this regard, efforts to lower the cost of energy, address skill mismatches and improve the business environment represent important policy initiatives,” the compilation recommended. The IMF also underscored the need for steps to increase productivity in traditional sectors, such as agriculture and mining and said they should also be part of a strategy to foster more inclusive growth. The compilation stated that the economy has experienced seven years of uninterrupted growth averaging about four percent annually. It continued: “The key pillars of the macroeconomic resurgence have been sustained reforms, in particular the implementation of VAT, favourable commodity prices, significant inflows of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC) and Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI).” REMAINED LOW Real economic activity expanded by 4.8 percent in 2012 on the back of broad-based growth in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, construction and other services the IMF said, adding that a 12-month inflation remained low at 3.4 percent, notwithstanding higher energy

and food prices. In financial year 2012, the overall fiscal deficit was 4.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), virtually unchanged from the 2011 outturn, according to the IMF. It added that Central Government revenues net of grants declined by 0.8 percent of GDP, reflecting lower income and consumption tax receipts and non-interest current expenditures rose by one percent of GDP, mainly on account of higher transfer payments to the electricity and sugar companies. The deterioration in the Central Government balance was offset by improved performance of State-owned enterprises whose financial positions shifted from deficit to surplus. The external current account balance was broadly unchanged from 2011 and gross international reserves stood at 4.2 months of imports at end of 2012. Meanwhile, the banking soundness indicators have remained strong, with capital adequacy ratios well above the regulatory minimum requirement, non-performing loans (NPLs) between five and six percent over the last three years and provisioning for bad loans at comfortable levels. According to the report, the successes were underpinned by favourable commodity prices and robust foreign direct investment. “While the medium-term economic outlook remains positive, Directors encouraged the authorities to persevere in their commitment to sound policies and reforms to strengthen policy buffers, promote more inclusive growth, and further reduce poverty,” it said. The report also underscored the importance of prudent fiscal consolidation anchored in a medium term policy framework that

Over 300 Trained Teachers graduate ... From page 2 nurturing environment,” the CEO said. He also urged the graduates to ambitiously see themselves as the future leaders in our education system. “You must be the next wave of leaders in education. Embody the concept of lifelong learning and place yourselves on a continuous professional development trajectory that will enable you to stay apace with contemporary educational practices.” In concluding, the CEO urged the newly graduated trained teachers to remain focused on their profession and to understand, accept and embrace the large responsibilities it carries. He also told them to be humble, dedicated teachers supportive of each other even in the face of the many detractors whose aims are to destabilise a system that is progressive and evolving. “Education is the key to improving our collective fortunes as a nation. We must support it and not tear it down!” The Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Prof. Jacob Opadeyi in delivering the charge told the graduands

to take their candle of knowledge and go light the world. “I charge you to improve the lives of our children; teach them to be good citizens; teach them to be achievers; teach them to be nation builders; teach them to be good mothers and fathers. Teach them to respect the elderly, authority, their colleges, and most importantly, teach them to respect themselves. Tell your students: No Pain No Gain.” He presented the new graduates with a list of seven tenets that they should live by as teachers. “(1) Be Kind to the children you teach, (2) Be Firm with them, (3) Be Frank; tell them the truth regardless, (4) Be Sympathetic; some children are slow learners, be sympathetic to their conditions, (5) Be Bold with what you want to teach them; be confident, (6) Be Consistent at all times, and (7) Be Prayerful.”

He urged the graduands not to let this be their last graduation, that they must continue to develop themselves professionally and alluded to the imminent online degree programmes to be offered by the University of Guyana. He concluded with this simple but profound statement: “Continue to develop yourselves and in return continue to develop our children.” The Ministry of Education, in a statement, said it recognises the invaluable role that teachers play in society and congratulates this new batch of trained teachers just graduated, armed with

the knowledge and skills to change minds. “We urge that as you impart your knowledge on the impressionable minds of our young people, that you firmly commit yourselves to being exemplary teachers delivering the finest quality education. Furthermore, as you embark on your mission as teachers, we ask that you also recognise that together, you form one of the most important pillars of this progressive Guyanese society,” the ministry charged.

safeguards debt sustainability, bolsters fiscal and external buffers and addresses unmet development needs. IMPLEMENTING REFORMS According to it, priority should continue to be given to implementing reforms to boost the efficiency of public enterprises and replacing universal subsidies with better targeted social assistance. The report maintained that the macroeconomic outlook is, generally, positive for 2013 and the medium term. Growth is projected at 4.8 percent in 2013, continuing the broadbased robust expansion in economic activity. Twelve-month inflation is expected to remain low at around 3.5 per cent by year end. The revised 2013 budget envisages an overall fiscal deficit of 5.2 percent of GDP, largely related to worsening performance of public enterprises, which are projected to return a deficit of 0.4 percent of GDP compared to a surplus of 1.3 percent in 2012. Higher VAT receipts are projected to raise Central Government non-grant revenue by 0.9 percent of GDP while its capital expenditure is anticipated to rise by 0.4 percent of GDP and the public wage bill, as a percentage of GDP, will remain broadly stable and transfers would decline by 0.7 percent of GDP. The IMF forecast that the current account deficit would widen to 16.8 percent of GDP in 2013, driven by higher fuel imports, lower commodity prices and lower remittances, which are projected to fall with slowing activity in major host countries. At the same time, with larger disbursements related to an ambitious public investment programme and resilient FDI, gross international reserves are projected to remain adequate at 3.6 months of imports. The Board welcomed Guyana’s strong growth over the past several years. Under Article IV of the Articles of Agreement, the IMF holds bilateral discussions with members, usually every year. A staff team visits the country, collects economic and financial information and discusses, with officials, the country’s economic developments and policies. On return to headquarters, they prepare the report which forms the basis for discussion by the Executive Board.

GPHC’s Neonatal Unit gets $900,000 funding for foetal monitors

THE Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s Neo-Natal Unit was presented with cheques valued $900,000 towards the purchase of foetal monitors which are expected to boost the hospital’s ability to monitor unborn babies. The National Milling Company (NAMILCO), Scotia Bank and Dr. Toolsiedas Singh handed over the sum of $300,000 each to GPHC’s Chief Exec-

utive Officer (CEO), Michael Khan at the Neo-Natal Unit on Wednesday. The foetal monitor is a device that checks unborn babies to ensure that there are no abnormalities or difficulties. One piece of the equipment is valued $1.2M. The unit has three monitors and over 15 foetal handhelds which are similar to the monitor. Khan expressed gratitude

for the donation which will enable the hospital to expand the quality of services delivered to the persons, especially pregnant women. The GPHC has the largest number of deliveries in the entire country, with 60% recorded there. Khan pointed out that the hospital has expanded the Neo-Natal Unit which now sees most of the sick babies

not only from GPHC, but from the private hospitals with support from the Burn Care Unit and Guyana Help the Kids First fund which has been providing support to the unit.

Port Kaituma drug defendant refused bail GODFREY Gordon (no address given) was refused bail yesterday by Chief Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, on a drug-trafficking charge. The defendant denied that, on Thursday, December 19, at Four Miles, Port Kaituma, North West District, he had 729 grammes of cannabis sativa (marijuana) in his possession for the purpose of trafficking. Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, told the Court that around 01:30 hrs that day, ranks on patrol at Port Kaituma, stopped and searched Gordon and found the prohibited substance in a black plastic bag. The prosecutor’s objection to pre-trial liberty was upheld, on the ground that no special reason for the grant was given by the unrepresented defendant. The case was transferred to the Matthew’s Ridge Court for February 3, 2014.

Man caught with unlicensed gun, ammo at Palm Court - remanded to prison ASHIEK Mohamed (no address given) was remanded to prison yesterday, by Chief Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, on unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition charges. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges, one of which said, on Thursday, December 19, at Palm Court in Main Street, Georgetown, he had four live rounds of ammunition without being the holder of a firearm licence. The other allegation against him is that, also at Palm Court, he had one unlicensed Taurus pistol. Police Corporal Bharat

Mangru, prosecuting, told the Court, that night, ranks observed a man acting in a suspicious manner and the same man handed the firearm to the defendant. The ranks then approached and apprehended Mohamed and the other man made good his escape. Attorney-at-law Mr. Adrian Thompson made a failed bail application to which the prosecutor successfully objected, citing the seriousness and prevalence of the crimes. The cases will be called, again, on January 15, 2014. (Geta Rampersaud)

Computer technology student, friend caught with gun, ammo at Ogle Airport

TWO more defendants were remanded to prison yesterday on charges of illegal firearm and ammunition possession. Before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, 20-year-old student of Global Technology, Jameen Farheem, of Lot ‘F’ 24 Guyhoc Park and Phillip Mc Pherson, 20, of ‘B’ Field Sophia, Georgetown, both pleaded not guilty to the offence that said, on Thursday, December 19, at Ogle International Airport, East Coast Demerara, they had in their possession one .45 pistol without being the lawful holders of a firearm licence. They also denied that, the

same day, at Ogle, they had four live .45 ammunition without being the lawful holder of a firearm licence. Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, told the Court that an air service security officer saw Mc Pherson pass the gun to Farheem and he reported the occurrence, causing a subsequent search to be carried out on both defendants and the weapon was recovered. Attorney-at-law Mr. Euclin Gomes, representing Farheem, said his facts are contrary to those presented by the prosecution, as his client denies any knowledge of the allegation. The lawyer requested reasonable bail, stating that Farheem has no antecedents and is, currently, pursuing a computer technician course. But the prosecutor, successfully, objected to the grant of pre-trial liberty, stating that no special reason was advanced on behalf of either defendant. The case has been transferred to the Sparendaam Court, East Coast Demerara, for Monday, December 23.

PM Christmas gift to T&T: 20% cut in prices of flour, oil, rice next Monday and Tuesday By Ria Taitt Political Editor (Trinidad Express) Government’s Christmas “gift to the nation” is a 20 per cent reduction for two days in the price of rice, flour and

soya bean oil. The discounts are applicable only on National Flour Mills (NFM) products. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced the measure at Thursday’s post-Cabinet news conference

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar

at her St Clair office, saying that it was aimed at bringing greater financial ease, relief and joy to citizens over the holiday season. The specific items to benefit from the price cut are: 1. Flour (two kilos)—Ibis, Lotus, Good and Natural, Cuisine and Hibiscus 2. Flour (ten kilos)—Ibis, Lotus, Club Select and Hibiscus 3. Soya bean oil—all sizes of Lotus soya bean oil 4. Rice—Lotus parboiled rice. The Prime Minister said the price “rebate” on these three staples would apply during the two busiest shopping days of the year- December 23 and 24. She said the rebate was arranged as a result of collaboration among the Minister of Trade, NFM and retailers nationwide.

Chile court orders tsunami compensation (BBC News) Chile’s Supreme Court has for the first time ordered the state to pay compensation to the relatives of one of the victims of the 2010 tsunami. The BBC’s Gideon Long in Santiago says the ruling could set a precedent for hundreds of other compensation claims. More than 500 people died in the February 2010 earthquake and the tsunami that followed it. Coastal villages were hit by enormous waves after the government lifted an initial tsunami warning. The court ordered the state to pay the widow, children and grandchild of Mario Ovando, who lived in the southern port city of Talcahuano, 55m pesos ($100,000; £63,000). The court heard that following the earthquake, Mr Ovando had heard an announcemen t o n t h e r a d io that there was no danger of a tsunami. On the basis of that he decided to stay in his home. However, 20 minutes later

his house was engulfed by huge waves. Although his relatives managed to free him and take him to hospital, Mr Ovando died three days later. The Chilean Navy - which runs the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service - admitted after the tsunami that it had made errors in its diagnosis and had given unclear information to government

officials. The government issued an alert, then deactivated it, then revived it only after the deadly waves had struck. Many families of victims have filed lawsuits against the Chilean state claiming that the misinformation led people to make the wrong decisions. The earthquake and tsunami left more than 800,000 people homeless.

Drug lord link

- Money-laundering probe connected to former Jamaican cop jailed in US

(The Gleaner) The Kingston-based attorney now in custody as part of a multi million-dollar money-laundering probe is being investigated for what local law-enforcement officials believe are ties to admitted Jamaican drug dealer Andrew Hamilton, her lawyer has confirmed. Hamilton, a former postal employee and a former member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, has pleaded guilty in California in the United States to drug, money-laundering, and firearm-related charges and is to be sentenced next February. Jamaica’s Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) has contended, in court documents, that between 2002 and 2009, he used the proceeds of his criminal lifestyle to acquire property and other assets in Jamaica with a cumulative value of $429.5 million and had them registered in the names of close friends and family members, including his 83-year-old mother and children. After two days in custody, the attorney, Dawn Satter-

swaite, was questioned by police investigators yesterday and her attorney, Anthony Pearson, told The Gleaner afterwards that the probe was linked to Hamilton. “Yes, that’s the name,” Pearson said. Up to late yesterday, he said no charges had been filed against Satterswaite. Pearson also confirmed that his client has done work for Hamilton in the past. Checks by The Gleaner show that Satterswaite was one of several attorneys in a case brought by Hamilton’s 83-year-old mother, Dorothy

Hamilton, and other relatives and friends that sought to remove a court restraint on several multimillion-dollar properties linked to him which the ARA wanted forfeited to the State. In dismissing the application, Supreme Court Judge Bryan Sykes underscored that while Hamilton’s friends and relatives might not have been engaged in money laundering or the holding of property derived from criminal activity, it is vital that criminals and their associates be deprived of their property.

Looks like Granger is steadily losing control of his party EDITORIAL

Police reform, modernisation are imperatives REFORM and modernisation of police forces are imperatives rather than options, consequently, this is an ongoing process in most countries, albeit in varying degrees and intensity as factors such as funding, human resources and needs etc., play a pivotal role. As a result of the changing nature of crime, the growth of illicit drugs and technological advancement, police forces have to develop capacity and equip themselves to meet the new and changing challenges because the world is utilising more innovative means and technology in the execution of nefarious criminal activities. Recently, Deputy Commissioner (Law Enforcement) Seelall Persaud said the project to reform and modernise the Guyana Police Force (GPF) now underway has indeed impacted on its operations. And while it may not be seen now, the results will be delivered to members of the public in the long term, He said it is not likely that the results will be seen in the shorter term,but the long term is inevitable, since the reform process is taking place incrementally and its implementation needs to be taken very seriously and in stages. The Crime Chief added that there is a certain part of the procedure to be completed before the public begins to really see the benefits of the reformation. Pointing to some of the areas of change which are already in motion, he mentioned an integrated crime information system which is in place. Mr. Persaud is correct. Changes almost always take time to yield the desired results, particularly when the human factor is involved. In our case, this may be the most important issue because, unfortunately, the general perception by the public of the police force is not a positive one. And this perception has been fuelled by the poor attitude and behaviour and unprofessionalism of some members of the police force. Of course, the decline in professional standards did not happen overnight. In fact, it started during the colonial era when the police were used for partisan political purposes in the efforts to destabilise and remove the PPP government led by Dr Cheddi Jagan. After independence, this trend became even worse under the PNC government as the police were openly used to coerce, harass and intimidate political opponents. It was during this period too that bribery and corruption became more prevalent within the police force. This was exacerbated by banning of foods which triggered the contraband trade. In this situation, many members of the police force openly demanded money and other favours from the contraband traders. So the reform process of the police force cannot involve only improving use of technology, training, research, equipment and other physical facilities, it also by necessity has to include revamping the image and culture of police ranks. Perhaps because of its history of being used by the PNC to intimidate, harass and coerce political opponents, many members of the police force still see their role essentially as one of harassing people instead of being friends and partners of the people. Police work becomes much more difficult and challenging when people do not have trust and confidence in the police. And the modern trend in policing is for the police to form partnerships with civilians. Therefore, persistent and intensive work is needed to reverse the image of the police force and restore the confidence of people. The other issue which is pivotal to reversing the fortunes of the police force is that of bribery and corruption. It has been

IT looks as though Mr David Granger is steadily losing control of his party. One look at the last sitting of Parliament leaves a lot of speculation about his ability to control his party members. First, there was Volda Lawrence who claimed she was sick for one vote, abstained for another and then was unsure of her party’s position for yet another vote. Then there is Carl Greenidge who took the position to vote against the funding for Amerindian projects despite his leader’s instruction to abstain. Such public acts of insubordination are not typical of the PNC and would have certainly never been tolerated by neither Forbes Burnham nor Desmond Hoyte when they led the party. Though Granger is fairly new to the leadership of the Opposition and there is much for him to learn on how to lead, it is disappointing to see him publicly humiliated by his own party members. If such insolence can be had at the parliamentary level, it does not require a stretch of imagination to presume what would happen should one of the infamous PNC protests occur. Can he control a crowd of protestors? If he cannot control the fairly educated parliamentarians in the House, then how can he be expected to control the multitude of ignorant followers that take to the streets ever so often? Volda Lawrence is now under “investigation” for breaking ranks,

but no word has been mentioned about Greenidge. Is this Granger’s sexism on display for wanting to make a public spectacle of the woman and not publicly chide Greenidge for an equally heinous crime in the business of politics? Lawrence is now insisting that she did not break ranks and voted with her party, but that the Clerk did not hear her vote hence it was never recorded. This sounds like a game of “catch me if you can” since the time for an appeal has long gone and if her fellow parliamentarians sitting immediately to her left and to her right did in fact hear her vote, knowing she was unwell, I am sure one of them would have brought the matter to the ever attentive Clerk to set the record straight. But since no one appealed the matter, it seems as if Mrs Lawrence might be pulling a sleight of hand special. Granger will soon enough realise that his weak leadership is being observed by his second in command, Greenidge, who will run against him at the next congress. It would seem prudent for Granger to display his authority by publicly chiding the dissenters or face the consequence of being seen as a pushover and lose more than just two members to public opinion and rumour. RICHARD PAUL

Opposition must wake up to reality

BRIDGING of the Berbice River is one of the most invaluable projects executed and delivered to the people of Guyana. This is one of the structures that came at a time when direct stress was passed on to the general citizenry of Guyana and more so to tourists when commuting to the region; no one knows the stress levels and lost time incurred with the previous model, so the opposition should shut up and face the reality of opportunity time. I am hoping the opposition knows that time is valuable and also realise how much is it really worth. The opposition must go back to the basics and try to analyse the stress about a delayed boat with a long line, it is possible to quantify – to put a concrete number on – the time being wasted? To say not just, “My time is valuable!? But “That’s US$250 of my time down the drain! It turns out the answer is yes. And to do so you only need to use one of the most basic principles of economics: opportunity cost. Let the opposition do some work rather than them using the “empty barrel makes the most noise” concept. The call for reduced tariffs is not justifiable; they are comparing the Demerara Harbour Bridge tariff structure which is heavily subsidised by the government with the Berbice Bridge which is fully self-reliant. If the Opposition is ready to offset the tariff differences for the reduction they are calling for, then they should sign onto a MOU with the BBCI and proceed with their call; it is just politics that is emotionally driven. It’s not too hard to see how crucial is time lost (the opposition should conduct a time and motion study on the BCCI crossing now with data from the ferrying model) and with time reduction that goes with increasing justification for increasing people’s social benefits. How much is an hour of your time worth? The bridge roll on the ease of commuting, for the farmers, construction workers, tourists to name a few and very important reduced time for life- saving events, transporting medical cases to the public/ private hospitals in Berbice and also to the national referral hospital in the city. We have to be thankful for many investors for coming on board with this project since, from an economic standpoint, social dimensions and environmental impacts, this bridge has closed the gaps within each dimension so transforming all benefits to the people, and that is what this government is all about: giving its general citizenry cause to develop themselves. widely acknowledged and recognised that some members of the police engage openly in demanding bribes and are immersed in corruption. This is perhaps the most serious problem affecting police work and the justice system as well. Therefore it is imperative that attention and innovative and uncompromising efforts are made to rid the police force of the plague of bribery and corruption. Admittedly, it is a tough task, but if this plague is not eradicated then the entire police force could become compromised and, by extension, the security of the state and its people. We cannot wait any longer to deal with this plague. The time to start is now.

Why only BCCI? The opposition has their personal vendetta against some of the direct private investors and this is not professional analysis from the opposition side, but, rather “an eye for an eye” game will see the entire of Guyana going blind. I call on the opposition, it is wake up time, work with the government in parliament to ensure our country is taken off the black list with the passing of the money laundering and countering financing terrorism bill – this is more important at this time. This is what the private investors did with the BCCI, since the private sector has the bottom or the operating core of the country at heart, they made this investment possible so that the hardship of commuting to and from the region becomes a model to push Guyana forward and this is what the outcome is. MICHAEL KHAN

Appalled by attempts to crucify Volda Lawrence I AM appalled at the recent attempt to crucify MP Volda Lawrence for the stand she took to support the development of Guyana. I understand that there is party loyalty to be respected. However, as a Guyanese, I am pleased to see that at least one elected official to the National Assembly on the Opposition side has taken the independent position to follow her conscience. I call on all right-minded citizens to offer their support to this exceptional parliamentarian for doing what is right, despite the attacks she knew she would face by her own party. I also would like to use this forum to call on Mr. Granger to take a page from Ms. Lawrence’s book and support her efforts to give the PNC and APNU some dignity in the corridors of the Parliament buildings by supporting more developmental initiatives. She voted with her conscience and so too should the other parliamentarians. TAMIKA HENRY WILLIAMS

Competent management Nothing sinister structure needed to address about the issuance city’s garbage problem of the Muri PGGS IT has always been my contention that the problems we face, whether these, in the case of the city of Georgetown, are evident through the omnipresent accumulation of garbage on street reserves, long waiting times to be served or shoddy road construction can be traced to inept management. Another example supporting this contention recently surfaced in your December 19, 2013 edition under the caption “269 fined for littering, illegal dumping for 2013.” In that article stemming from an interview with Clean and Green Guyana/Guyenterprise, the Chief Constable of the City, Mr. Andrew Foo, disclosed that there were 269 citations issued for littering/dumping in 2013 given a total complement of 170 ranks and a programme of aggressive attention to the problem. This amounts to an average of 1.6 citations per year per rank. I find this statistic to be amazing, especially when dumping is so prevalent – just today I saw a car stop on Sherriff Street at the junction with Mandela Avenue and its occupant throw two black bags of garbage onto the reserve. But instead of dealing with the low productivity of its ranks, we have the clarion call for more ranks.

One very effective management tool of dealing with low productivity for ranks whose contributions can be quantitatively measured is to implement a compensation package which places part at risk for performance – a base salary plus a bonus for achieving objectives set. For example, ranks would have a goal of issuing a certain number of citations monthly. Issuing less will bring about a reprimand; issuing more a bonus. Promotions would be predicated solely on performance and training. There is a lot of attention being given to the garbage problem in the city these days. Most of the attention seems to focus on removing the garbage after it has been illegally dumped and not that much on law enforcement. The two have to complement each other. A rigorous enforcement approach will change the culture of littering/dumping through penalties and a high chance of being cited. But before we can get there, we need to ensure that a competent management structure is in place. LOUIS HOLDER

Time to completely re-evaluate all aspects of sugar production THERE is no question that the sugar industry is important as a means of employment and revenue for workers and others in Guyana. What many taxpayers and others do not know is whether the management or workers realise that no business can survive forever, if its existence is based on public subsidies, without their cooperation in making it successful. A given constant is that management is always talking about weather or worker strikes or absenteeism to explain production shortfalls for their over optimistic projections or new plans to solve them. On the other hand, the union or workers seem to ignore the fact that strikes and high absenteeism cannot but make it impossible to pay the higher salaries or bonuses to workers. If the annual target was not reached, certainly a strike would not help the situation. It is time for all stakeholders, including workers to consider all alternatives, including restructuring phases of the operation, outside experts or outsourcing management, splitting up the operations to allow private ownership and possible use of land for diverse products. Unless, there is an adequate number of workers, be it local or foreign. the hope of achieving the highest sugar production levels possible will not occur. Sugar workers deserve better pay, but the industry must show a profit. Perhaps, profit sharing would be a more effective method to force all parties to work for the industry’s success. Taxpayers demand better results and an end in sight from subsidies. It is time to completely re-evaluate all aspects of sugar production and plan accordingly, if the industry is to break even in our lifetime. Hope is not a solution, facing facts and using workable solutions represent not only an economic but political

reality. N. AUGUSTUS

AS the major stakeholder group of the gold and diamond mining sector in Guyana, the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) has been following the ongoing debate regarding the issuance of a Permission of a Geological and Geophysical Survey (PGGS) issued to Muri Brazil Ventures Inc. The GGDMA and its executive members have analysed the facts of the matter and note the pronouncements on the issue, by the Stabroek News, and other public officials. Never checking with the Muri Brazil Ventures Inc. to verify the information, the Association noted that Stabroek made a belated attempt on December 16 to ascertain the views of the company. Stabroek News and other officials need to get their facts right about the operation of the gold-mining sector and the Mining Act/ Regulations, and not to make uninformed statements, attacking agreements legally entered into between Government and other parties. Constant aerial surveys and exploration activities are necessary to develop the mining industry, and the issuing of a PGGS is a methodology utilised to get mineral information over large areas. Further, the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association and its executive members remain unmoved by the statements published in the press, and would like to state, based upon the facts known/ provided, that there is nothing sinister about the issuance of a PGGS to Muri Brazil Venture Inc. The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association hereby call on those media houses and concerned citizens to join us in ensuring the development of Guyana through the continuation of identifying Guyana’s mineral potential, which can then be exploited for the benefit of Guyana.

N.C.P.E conducting probe into Jhagroo’s death THE National Community Policing Executive (N.C.P.E.) is also conducting a probe into the circumstances leading up to the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Godfrey Jhagroo of Bellevue, West Bank Demerara at about 19:00 hrs on Wednesday December 18, 2013 at Belle Vue, W.B.D. CPG members, particularly rural constables, are all made fully aware of the Standard Operational Procedures(S.O.P.) in Community Policing,and where their responsibilities and operational boundaries lie,in always acting and reacting within the permit-

ting confines of the law, and not against, especially,to always exercise the use of peaceful control approaches, and never to engage negative excessive measure ,that are beyond the Standard Operational Procedures of Community Policing. They are also constantly reminded of the serious consequences of acting beyond the confines of the law and out of the required S.O.P.,in Community Policing. So on this premise, with the sincere regret on the unfortunate and unwanted loss of human life,the N.C.P.E., offer and convey our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Godfrey Jaggroo.

Labour Minister warns defaulting employers…

Full brunt of law for minimum wage breach By Clifford Stanley THREE local security firms which have, allegedly, been failing to pay their employees the approved national minimum wage, will face the full brunt of the law, Minister of Labour, Dr. Nanda Kishore Gopaul stated Wednesday. He identified the accused defaulters as Home Safe Security Services, Supreme Security Services and Strategic Action Security Services. The last, he said has been found guilty of not even paying what was ordered in 2012. Gopaul disclosed that the ministry is, currently, pursuing 19 cases filed against that company, so far, and intends to file, en bloc, for all the workers who have not been paid. The Labour Minister said that with respect to the other two, the ministry intends to seek the assistance of the Attorney General’s Chambers and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Gopaul said his ministry will also, if necessary, recruit a lawyer in private practice, with the skills to prosecute, for ensuring that those companies do not get away with their non-payment, based on what was agreed upon for the workers in that category. “Too many workers have been underpaid and we are not going to let it go easily,” he said. PERSONALLY MONITOR TRIALS He added that hearing of the charges filed, to date, are ongoing and he will, personally be monitoring the trials to ensure that the workers get their due. Gopaul assured, too, that the other security services in the country have all been complying with the new minimum wages and the national 40 hours working week. The minister made the disclosures during a media briefing on some of the activities of his ministry in 2013, which he said has been an exciting year. He said the ministry had been successful in introducing a national minimum wage with respect to all workers in the country and national forty hours work week. Gopaul said, at the beginning, there had been a few employers

who expressed concerns over the 40 hours per week application in a period of five days. “But, after some persuasion, we have been able to get them to understand that this is necessary for a country where we are seeking to enhance workers’ conditions, especially those at the bottom,” he said. The minister reported that, during the year, the Ministry’s Labour Department placed emphasis on inspections of hotels, restaurants, dry goods stores and hardware establishments, among others. The Department received nearly 1,100 complaints from aggrieved workers in various industries and concluded 218 inspections. Interventions by the Ministry of Labour led to it securing, from employers, the sum of $14.1M and paying several workers who had filed complaints about such violations as unlawful termination of employment, outstanding wages DR NANDA GOPAUL and overtime and outstanding payments for annual leave. JUSTIFIED COMPLAINTS A large percentage of the monies secured from defaulting

employers by the ministry was received following justified complaints by workers about wrongful dismissals, Dr Gopaul reported. In the area of Occupation Health and Safety, he said reports indicated a significant drop in the cases of accidents and fatalities in the gold mining sector. To date, Gopaul said 486 accidents were reported to the ministry, including 10 involving fatalities. He said: “Last year, the bulk of the fatalities occurred in the gold mining sector but, this year, out of the 10 fatalities reported, only one was associated with the gold mining sector.” Five had occurred in the manufacturing sector, three were associated with the bauxite industry when three persons died in a vehicle accident and one in the tourism sector. The minister disclosed that, last week, he signed regulations relating to HIV and AIDS that were gazetted at weekend and will be laid over in Parliament shortly. These regulations will ensure that persons afflicted by HIV/ AIDS are not discriminated against at workplaces and denied the right to employment or dismissed as a result of their being infected. Additional protection for workers, which are imminent, include Occupation Health and Safety (OH&S) Regulations for the Forestry Sector, the Construction Industry and Mining. Dr Gopaul said: “Mining regulations have been approved by Cabinet and we are going to lay them in Parliament soon, because we believe that it is important to have the legislation so that violations of the OH&S Act in this area can be successfully prosecuted. These regulations are lying in the AG’s Chambers and will be released soon.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana

Continued focus Shame on the AFC for constantly on hydro-power targeting Amerindian children! spotlighted in - Will their continued attacks ever cease? IMF report

EVER since the AFC, now popularly known as (Amerindian For Cuts) teamed up with the APNU to wage a war against Guyana by using their combined one-seat majority in Parliament against the PPP/C, our ‘first people’ have been one of their main victims. Old Kai has never forgiven them for what they have done to his people and it makes his heart heavy, when witnessing the continuation of their relentless campaign, even targeting our children as was recently the case when they refused to support funding for the provision of transportation to school children living in hinterland areas. Imagine, of all persons AFC Member of Parliament Valerie Garrido-Lowe is one of those who objected to our children being provided with transportation. She is one of the individuals who parades around like she has the interest of Amerindians at heart; well I hope that our people are taking note of her actions now. It is not a national secret that Amerindian children residing in hinterland communities in some cases have to travel great a distance to get to school. The AFC is operating like if there are bus services operating in the jungle as is the case on the coastland, where at any

given moment you will see a bus speeding around the corner with the conductor half way out shouting, ‘Paramakatoi to Kato’ or ‘Tiger Pond to Karasabai’. Or maybe these people think Amerindian parents can quickly call a taxi to drop off their kids across the mountain. We do not have commercial transportation, thankfully, the Government since 1992 has worked to establish road linkages in most if not all Amerindian communities. So in some cases children do not have to paddle for miles in a canoe anymore to get to school. What is so wrong with providing a bus to take these children to school? It appears the AFC and APNU would prefer Amerindian children remain in a state where they cannot access education or, for that matter, be placed on an even footing with other segments of society where they can make a greater contribution to the development of their country. Why Old Kai is even surprised though, for when the PNC (now APNU) was in Government, our population was on the verge of extinction in Guyana. We were neglected and starved of any development; malnutrition, record high infant mortality rates and absence of schools and basic medical facilities was the order of the

39-yr-old dies in Railway Embankment accident POLICE are investigating a fatal accident that occurred at

about 00:05 hrs yesterday on the Liliendaal Railway Embankment and which resulted in the death of Osnah Jordan, 39, of Industry, East Coast of Demerara. Investigations revealed that Jordan was a passenger in motor car PNN 4182 which was travelling along the roadway, when the driver of motor car PPP 1802 which was travelling in the opposite direction, allegedly at a fast rate, lost control of the vehicle and collided head-on with PNN 4182. The driver of PPP1802 reportedly fled the scene. Jordon received injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

day. You give these very people a little power in the form of a ‘one seat majority’ and once again they continue their efforts to starve us of resources. This is not the only incident, as they have also slashed the Presidential grants to Amerindian villages during their budget cuts. The AFC and APNU love Amerindians so much that they slashed the entire Low Carbon Development Strategy which affected several projects that would have directly served to further empower Amerindians, especially our children. These included the installation of 11,000 solar home systems in 150 hinterland communities, which serves to assist our children in their studies at night. Slashing the LCDs also meant hampering the One Laptop per Family programme where Amerindian children also stood to benefit as well as other low income families across Guyana. You still do not believe there is a deliberate attempt on the part of the Opposition to attack Amerindian children? Well how do you explain their actions of slashing funding for NCN when they were told beforehand that significant portions of those monies went towards the upkeep of at least one radio station in the hinterland which specifically assists school children and the Educational Channel which

Man arrested after marijuana find in Norton St

AT about 13:45 hrs yesterday, ranks of the Police Narcotics Branch conducted a search on a house at Norton Street, Georgetown, where 3 kilograms 970 grams of marijuana were found. A man has been arrested and is in police custody. Charges will be made shortly.

IMF calls for Guyana to identify AML/CFT ‘gaps’ By Vanessa Narine THE Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in a statement released yesterday stressed the “urgent” need to address remaining gaps in the regime to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The statement said, “Directors considered that a modestly tighter stance of monetary policy and continued exchange rate flexibility would help safeguard international reserves, contain inflationary pressures, and reduce the current account deficit.” The directors also recommended continued vigilance over the financial sector. “In light of rapid credit growth in recent years and high loan concentration, they advised frequent on-site inspections for larger banks and a better inte-

grated supervision of financial business groups,” the statement said. The Anti-Money Laundering Countering of Financing of Terrorism (AML /CFT) Bill was defeated in the National Assembly earlier this month. H o w e v e r, g o v e r n m e n t moved to have the House’s Standing Orders suspended to facilitate the re-tabling of the Bill. Parliament on Thursday approved the suspension of the Standing Orders and Attorney General Anil Nandlall requested the Bill’s passage within the next five weeks to mitigate the adverse effects of blacklisting of Guyana by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) and avoid further sanctions. The Bill was sent to Select Committee for consideration after a second reading. Since missing the Novem-

ber 18 deadline, CFATF, at its plenary meeting, warned its members to “consider implementing counter measures to their financial systems from the ongoing money laundering and terrorist financing risks” emanating from Guyana. The French-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is expected to hold a review in February, in which Guyana could be included. CFATF itself is expected to review Guyana’s position at its next meeting in May, 2014. If Guyana is unable to meet that deadline, the body is expected to hand Guyana over to the Financial Action Task Force for the International Cooperation Review Group’s (ICRG) evaluation to begin. IMF’s pronouncement on the matter followed the end of a consultation with Guyana on December 9.

is broadcasted nationally? But our adults were not left out. The APNU and AFC went into our communities. They heard our complaints about the bad state of some of our airstrips and promised to do something about it. They ensured they got the cameras ready when they ‘cried crocodile tears’ about the situation only for them to slash the funding provided by the PPP/C Government to rehabilitate these very airstrips in the 2013 budget. Old Kai wants to make it clear to the AFC and APNU; Amerindians will refuse to be regarded as ‘collateral damage’ in their continued war against the PPP/C Government and Guyana’s economy. Congratulations are also extended to my brothers and sisters who had the courage to brave the weather and turn up in their numbers outside of Parliament buildings a few days ago. You saw that first-hand with the recent picketing action outside of the National Assembly against the Opposition efforts to prevent Amerindian children from being provided with transportation to take them to school. Rest assured that they will continue to make their voices heard whenever the AFC and APNU pursue their campaign of discrimination against Amerindians in Guyana.

THE potential benefits of a more stable and reliable source of energy in Guyana, via the advance of hydro-electricity, has been spotlighted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as an area for continued focus. The IMF’s Executive Board, in its report released yesterday, called on the current Administration to continue its focus on the massive project, the Amaila Falls Hydro Power (AFHP) project. The report, which followed the end of consultations with local officials earlier this month, said, “Directors encouraged the authorities to ensure that the large hydroelectric project under consideration remains financially and economically viable to curb fiscal risks. “In this context, they saw merit in strengthening the project and debt management framework, and pursuing international best practices as regards public-private partnerships.” Slated to be the nation’s most ambitious undertaking, the project is touted to be able to provide Guyanese with cheaper, reliable and sustainable power supply. The project involves the construction of a hydropower plant in the area of west-central Guyana, where the Amaila and Kuribrong rivers meet. Electricity produced at the plant will be delivered to Guyana’s capital, Georgetown, and its second largest town, Linden. The AFHP is expected to result in substantial savings to the nation’s coffers particularly in terms of foreign exchange and the purchase of heavy fuel oil. President Donald Ramotar’s position on the matter is that economies must serve the people, not vice versa, and with an expected saving of $9B in electricity subsidies, as well as savings on the $40B fuel bill, enormous contributions can be made to the infrastructural development, development particularly needed in Guyana’s hinterland to aid and accelerate economic progress. On July 18, the combined Opposition defeated the Hydro Electric Power (Amendment) Bill. In August, the government brought the issue back to the National Assembly and received the support of the Alliance For Change (AFC), but A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) voted the bill and motion down.

Guyana seeks US Parks Service to support national system for protected areas THE Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment is partnering with the South Florida National Parks Trust to strengthen the functioning of the Protected Areas Commission, and the National Protected Areas Trust Fund. The South Florida National Parks Trust has supported National Parks in South Florida since 2002, and has significant experience in environmental education, resource protection, visitor services, volunteer activities

and community outreach. This partnership was brokered in a meeting with the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Mr Robert Persaud, and Mr. Wayne Rassner, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees & Chairman of the Grants Committee for the South Florida National Parks Trust. At the meeting, which was held in the United States yesterday, Minister Persaud pointed out that “Guyana is currently revising its framework polices for natural resources development, and the

establishment of a national system of protected areas in Guyana is timely to enhance environmental management. Further, the South Florida National Parks Trust has expressed an interest to support and enhance Guyana’s capacity to support national systems for protected areas in Guyana. Guyana is recognised for its high levels of biodiversity of which the protected areas system, also, forms a core component of the Low Carbon Development Strategy aimed

at transitioning the nation’s economy onto a low carbon and climate resilient pathway, said the Natural Resources and Environment Minister. Additionally, it was outlined by Minister Persaud that the Protected Areas Commission will require significant technical and management capacity to develop strategic and management plans and to strengthen the Commission’s field programme. As such, Minister Persaud sought the expertise of the US Parks Services and its partners to collaborate with Guyana as the country accelerates the development of a world class protected areas system.

Kumaka-San Jose bridgeworks to be completed next week By Vanssa Narine ALLIANCE For Change (AFC) Member of Parliament Valerie Garrido-Lowe, Thursday evening raised concerns of residents in Region 1 (Barima/ Waini) over the state of works on the Kumaka-San Jose bridge. Speaking in the National Assembly, she pointed out that incomplete works, started November 2012, present a challenge to the residents, in particular school children. “The residents of Moruca would like to know, from the Honourable Minister, what are his plans to solve this problem and in what time-frame, since the whole community is affected,” Garrido-Lowe said. Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud assured that works are expected to be completed within seven days. He acknowledged that the works did start in November 2012, and he pointed out that the scope of the works was

increased. Persaud said, “The bridge is completed…the question I think is focused on the revetment aspects and landfilling, which also I am concerned about….

MINISTER GANGA PERSAUD as of Sunday of this week the backfilling in the revetment has commenced….I am assured that works will be completed within another seven days.” The initial $28M contract saw works commence Novem-

ber 2012. However, in June this year, a variation order valued $15.7M was signed for revetment works, among other changes to the contract. The revetment was deemed necessary since, after prolonged rainfall and a high tide, floodwater usually covers a part of the approach to the bridge, forcing residents to walk on the edge of the old revetment, an unsafe undertaking. Vehicles have also had to cease movement in the direction of the flooded area. With the completion of the works, the existing narrow walkway of the bridge, which lies between Kamwatta and Parakeese, will be expanded to create a better linkage between those communities, allowing the movement of light vehicles. The San Jose and Kumaka communities have a population in excess of 3,000 and users of the bridge include an additional 2,000 passing through en-route to Charity, the Essequibo Coast and Georgetown.

Cool Square murder case…

Victim’s girlfriend cross-examined about shooter’s identification By George Barclay THE judge and jury in the Cool Square murder case were, on Monday, given an eyewitness account of the March 3, 2010 incident. The witness, Gadray Baston, who claimed to be the girlfriend of the victim, Rawle Harding, said she had identified the accused in the dock, Junior Bourne, as one of the gunmen who shot and killed her lover during a hold-up at the West Ruimveldt, Georgetown restaurant. But, in answer to cross-examination by defence counsel Huckumchand, the witness, who had given a statement to the police, claimed she did not tell them that the man was about five feet seven inches in height. She said that description about height was information supplied by the police and she had nothing to do with it. The witness, who was a waitress at Cool Square Restaurant on the night of the killing, said the shorter of the two robbers was wearing a cap but the man she identified at an identification parade, at Diamond Police Station, was picked out by her from among men, none of whom wore caps. FIRST TIME When asked by defence counsel how she was able to identify the accused by the hair when, at the time of the robbery, she was seeing him for the first time with a cap on, she did not answer. In her evidence-in-chief she told State Prosecutrix Natasha Backer that Harding had turned up with a man named ‘Haiti’ about 22:45 hrs that night and a girl joined their party later. She said that the two men, who looked like ordinary customers, turned up afterwards and bought two beers from her. They began drinking them and, during that time, the fair-skinned and taller man enquired from her whether she had ‘eatables’ and she replied ‘Yes.’ Shortly after that, she said the men were seen with guns as they attacked Harding, robbing him of cash and jewellery. During the shooting, Harding fell and, when taken to hospital, was pronounced dead. Backer closed the case for the prosecution on Tuesday and the defence counsel also addressed the jury on Thursday. Justice James Bovell-Drakes will sum up the evidence to the jury on December 27 for them to consider their verdict.

Local training now available in jet repairs, maintenance THE Chief Executive Officer of the Art Williams and Harry Wendt Aeronautical Engineering School (AWHWAES), Captain Malcolm Chan-a-Sue announced, recently, that a Caribbean-wide recognised institution based in Guyana plans to train students in jet repairs and maintenance. In the announcement, he said it is now a full member of the United States-based Flight Safety Foundation. Speaking at the recent 2013 Graduation Ceremony held at the hangar of the Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services (CAMS), Chan-a-Sue said AWHWAES has now become the fourth educational organisation to have been accredited by the Washington D.Cbased Flight Safety Foundation, which is said to be the world’s highest ranking safety and development organisation. Members of the latter include leading aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus and Boeing, as well as major civil aviation authorities around the world According to Chan-a-Sue, a jet would be based at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) which AWHWAES would use as a working model for training at Ogle, East Coast Demerara, CJIA, Timehri and the wider Caribbean, so as to become well acquainted with the aircraft’s management. HIGH STANDARDS He said the 16-year-old school has set high standards which are reflected in the fact that only 107 of the more than 200 graduates, so far, are fully licensed engineers. However, he pointed out the importance of students having to pass examinations, work on the airplanes and must possess log books as proof before the Civil Aviation Authority can approve CAPTAIN MALCOLM of them. CHAN-A-SUE Expressing concern that a lot of the students, although intelligent, are absent from the classrooms and hangars, he lamented the level of standard English even among students who would have written the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC). As such, the school has decided to contract an organisation to teach the students English Language since the aviation industry standards are high and require proper essay and other writings. Operated by the Aircraft Owners Association of Guyana (AOAG), AWHWAES has produced graduates who are working in the Caribbean, United States, Canada and other countries. The school is accredited by Civil Aviation Authorities in Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Suriname, as well as the Caribbean Aviation Safety Oversight System. It is the first tertiary institution in Caricom with an ISO 9001 certified quality management system and LIAT is the first international airline that has placed its students on attachment at the school. The Antigua and Barbuda Board of Education has sponsored three students to AWHWAES. Those graduating with Completion Certificates in Aeronautical Engineering are Shivram Arjun (Best Graduating Student), Sean Blackman, Michele Canzius, Jeremy Cox, Randall De Freitas, Michael Husbands, Gordon Watson, Cemeria Williams and Tevyn Art Williams. They now have to apply to the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to be granted licences.

PSC remains adamant it will not accept governmental interference in management of private companies - says Chris Ram is ‘dead wrong’

THE Private Sector Commission (PSC) said it has noted the response from the public to its release on the intended legislative action for reduction of tolls payable to the Berbice Bridge Company and wishes to reiterate its position that it will not accept governmental interference in the management of private companies. It noted that government’s role in Private Limited Liability Companies extends to regulating and enforcing compliance with existing laws. The Private Sector Commission, cognisant of the free market policies which have driven growth in Guyana for the past twenty-five

years and allowed a strong private sector to develop and flourish, is of the opinion that private investment must be guaranteed protection from any form of governmental interference with legal investment strategies, most paramount of which is pricing for products and services that directly affects shareholders’ legitimate right to investment returns. It is only in the context of such protection that private capital can be harnessed and directed into infrastructural projects which are of crucial importance to the nation but which may be beyond the financial capabilities of government or

the capability of government to efficiently manage. In its previous release on government intervention in the Berbice Bridge Company, a private company, the Private Sector Commission stated that “the Company is 80% owned by Guyanese private sector interests, including pension funds and 20% by an institutional investor, the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), that also holds non-voting preference stock in the Company and provides one of the few opportunities for good investment returns on Guyanese workers’ NIS contributions and may also be considered critical to the future

of the Scheme.” Mr. Christopher Ram has since written to the press challenging the Commission’s statement and positing that Government owns 76% of the issued shares of the Company but intentionally ignoring the above. The PSC said it stands by its statement since the Government, through NICIL, no longer owns the 950 preference shares in the Company as these were purchased by an institutional investor, the NIS. “Mr. Ram is dead wrong to use the NIS ownership of the preference shares as synonymous with Government ownership and control,” the PSC stated. These preference shares are non-voting shares which carry no vote at the Shareholders’ Meeting. The NIS is an institutional investor with a mandate to provide social security benefits to

the workforce in Guyana; health benefits, retirement benefits, etc. It is not an investment tool of the state which generates income for the consolidated funds. Long term liabilities, other than the preference shares, representing more than 80% of LTL are financed from private sources, Commercial Banks, companies, etc. “With respect to the NICIL Special Share, which Mr. Ram points to as evidence of government ownership, as Mr. Ram should be aware, this is a common safeguard provision inserted into the Articles of Amendment to protect the interests of the people when assets are privatised,” the PSC stated. This Special Share is usually referred to as a ‘golden share’ and has no financial interest in the Company. It merely allows its holder to prevent

the company from acting outside of its mandate and would come into play if, for instance, the Company sought to utilise the bridge as collateral for a debt for a project unrelated to managing and operating the bridge. The ownership structure outlined above clearly establishes that the Government has no direct investment in the Berbice Bridge Company. The ‘mind-boggling ignorance’ to which, as Mr. Ram refers, is more appropriately applied to his contention that the legislature can dictate the pricing strategy of a private limited liability company in which it has no direct shareholding and consequently no control. “Would Mr. Ram, with his expertise in Company Law, specify precisely how his position is supported?” the PSC questioned.

In protesting 5% increase…

Public Service Union gets little public servants support By Leroy Smith IT was a shocker for the president and leaders of the Guyana Public Service Union yesterday, when less than one hundred persons turned up for their protest march

against the five per cent salary increase announced by the government. This was the union’s first of an expected series of marches to vent their disapproval with what they termed the unrealistic increase.

For Saturday December 21,2013 -05:00hrs For Sunday December 22,2013 -08:30hrs

In his opening remarks before the march, president of the union, Patrick Yarde told the gathering that there was not enough time to contact its members living across the country to take part in the march. The union head said that the budget was passed since April of this year and the five percent should have been issued soon after. He added that based on what the budget represented, public servants should have received a higher amount but they are asking for 15 per cent. He said that the results that the union wishes to see were not going to come overnight but as long as they all work and stand together they will overcome the challenges, regardless. Yesterday the march started at the head office of the union at Shiv Chanderpaul Drive and Regent Street, and made its way through several less congested streets of the city, passing by several key locations, including the Office of the President, Ministry of Home Affairs and other agencies which employ a large number of public servants. The march of protest, led by Mr. Yarde was orderly and peaceful.

That person who’s been eyeing you from across the room? Don’t you dare stare back, or even crack so much as a grin if you’re not interested. You’re packing super- ultramega-sensual energies now, and it’s no surprise others are picking up on them. Save yourself the trouble, and save them the heartache. Be sure you’re only in the company of those you really want to be with.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

It’s the perfect astrological and emotional weather for your sign. You really couldn’t do much better, and you knew it as soon as you set your feet on the floor this morning. For once, everyone around you will be feeling everything just as intensely as you do all the time. You’ll also notice they’re operating a little more from their gut and a lot less from their desire to seek approval. See? Lovely weather, huh?

Gemini May 21 - June 21

This has been coming for a while, and you’re not ashamed to say it. You’ve just about had it with your current situation, and you want out. Still, you’re reluctant to make a move without something solid waiting for you. That’s not a lack of guts, either -- it’s a sign of maturity. You can buckle down and stand the situation for a few more days. At least until you’ve made some phone calls to start the ball rolling.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

Ever notice how you hear from someone you’ve been thinking about? Well, if you haven’t noticed it before, you’re definitely going to notice it now. A parade of long-lost friends and lovers is about to make contact with you over the coming weeks. The fun starts today. Ready or not, here comes a voice you haven’t heard in a long, long time.

Leo July 23 - August 22

Ordinarily, under circumstances like these, you’d probably feel a bit antsy -- no, actually, you’d feel really antsy. As if someone were trying to clip your wings. That, of course, wouldn’t be much fun, and you wouldn’t stand for it -- unless, of course, you were already sweet on the person with the clippers. In which case you’d probably stretch out your wings and show them where to start clipping.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

You’ve made your home a warm, comfortable and welcoming nest. So, of course, everyone always wants to be there with you. Unfortunately, you also love your privacy, and you probably haven’t had much of it lately. If things get a little tricky this weekend, and you have too much company, you can always mention that you’d like some time alone. Or you can take a trip and treat yourself to a change of scenery -- complete with a free attitude adjustment.

Libra September 23 - October 22

Okay, stop resisting and buckle down already -- do what they want you to do. Why are you having such an issue with authority lately? Maybe it’s because you just can’t bring yourself to do anything that sounds like a direct order. Well, that’s understandable, a fine reason, really. Just be sure the real reason isn’t because you’re running away from something called responsibility. You know darned well you couldn’t live with that.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

An authority figure who seems to have been less than forthcoming lately is just about ready to come clean and tell you exactly what’s been going on. But that’s no reason to worry. The news will be good -- especially if you’re brave enough to start the conversation yourself. And when have you been anything less than brave? Get business out of the way early, because tonight was made for romance.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Think about it: Exactly how long have you been wishing, hoping and actually dreaming about taking off for parts unknown to everyone but you and one lucky companion? If you can’t remember a date -- or a month -- it’s time to stop dreaming and start making plans. Wait, however, until next week to start solidifying your itinerary. In the meantime, do your homework.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

As far as you’re concerned, this kind of thing only happens in the movies. The war-weary hero or heroine heads home, pulls down the shades and disappears. Fade to black. But that’s not the kind of thing you’d ever do, right? Well, not usually -- but at the moment, there’s probably nowhere else you’d rather be than at home. Of course, if you don’t want to be alone, you know there’s someone who’d be happy to keep you company.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

It’s your favourite time -- that’s right, party time! It’s all about recreation, and it’s all just waiting to happen. You have even more good reasons to be happy, too. The universe has decided to gift you with an added dose of romance. Enjoy it to the max, especially if you don’t have to get up tomorrow!

Pisces February 19 - March 20

You’ve been playing around with a certain hobby for a while, and it’s suddenly dawned on you that you really and truly might be able to make a full-time job of this -- or at least a part-time source of income. It’s a good idea and you shouldn’t dismiss it. You might, however, want to come up with a solid plan before you quit your day job, that is. Get out some legal pads and start scribbling.

Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy Mr. Bryan Hunt (seated, front row centre) and the SKYE Graduates

USAID’s SKYE programme prepares 91 youth for employment NINETY-ONE youth who completed life and work skills training - called Work Ready Now! - through the USAID Skills and Knowledge for Youth Employment (SKYE) programme, were recognised for their accomplishment on Thursday last. Representatives from the US Embassy, Ministry of Education, the private sector, civil society, and parents of the graduating youth were present at the event. Speaking to the youth, who came from Regions 3, 4, 6 and 10, Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy, Mr. Bryan Hunt commended them for “showing commitment to improving their lives and being prepared to work towards their own success”. Mr. Hunt also recognised the commitment of the programme’s many partners in government, private sector, civil society, the magistracy and local government who are “working and collectively striving to create an environment that can support the success of all Guyanese youth”. USAID SKYE Livelihood and Employability Coaches will continue to advise and guide youth in their efforts at finding and keeping employment. Partnerships with private sector employers and Chambers of Commerce play a central role in these efforts. According to a statement from the Georgetown-based U.S. Embassy, members of the private sector have consistently assisted the USAID SKYE programme in developing and refining training materials and practices, and have offered many opportunities for young men and women to work towards realising their hopes and ambitions. The SKYE programme focuses on youth, mainly young men, who are school dropouts, youth who completed formal education but do not have the necessary skills to find employment, and youth involved in the juvenile justice system. To date, a total of 740 youth have completed life and work skills training and 270 youth have been placed into full-time employment.

Minister Ali treats elderly to lunch at Leonora By Michel Outridge

SCORES of elderly residents of Leonora and its environs on the West Coast of Demerara were yesterday treated to a sumptuous lunch and hampers, compliments of Minister of Housing and Water and Acting Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Irfaan Ali. The event took place at the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) office at Public Road, Leonora, West Coast of Demerara, where the minister was on hand to present the meals to the senior citizens. There he welcomed the gathering, and noted that the PPP’s aim is to reach out to the masses and to meet the requirements of the vulnerable, the elderly and those who need special attention. He noted the benefits of the old age pension scheme that shows the PPP is concerned about the elderly who had made valuable contributions to the country and to their respective families. He spoke of the projects being undertaken by the government, including the Amaila Falls Hydro Project which was scuttled by the Opposition in Parliament. Ali also reflected on government’s achievements to ensure the future development of its citizens, adding that the PPP office at Leonora for this year has served more than 2,500 persons. He said that they had four medical outreaches, several youth group activities and social projects in which they were pleased to assist residents of the West Coast of Demerara and encouraged them yesterday to continue their partnership with the party for the way forward. Also making brief remarks was Siddiqi Haniff, who is the Chairman of the PPP Community Group. He said that it wasn’t an easy year for them but they endured nevertheless.

First Lady brings Christmas cheer to hundreds of children at Charity

FIRST Lady Deolatchmee Ramotar on Thursday hosted a party for hundreds of children at the Charity Primary school on the Essequibo Coast and distributed gifts to them on behalf of herself and the First Lady Foundation. In an address to children, teachers and parents in the Charity Primary school auditorium, Mrs. Ramotar expressed Christmas wishes to all the children and their parents on behalf of her husband, President Donald Ramotar. She also wished the children all the best for the festive season with God’s blessings. The First Lady who walked around and greeted the children was met with smiles and laughter. Children were excited to meet her and rushed to shake her hand. The First Lady danced with the children and embraced them in an atmosphere of love, joy and excitement. Children were also involved in dancing and carol singing com-

Face painting at the party petitions and games at the party, then Santa Claus arrived ringing his bell and dancing. The excited children from the Upper and Lower Pomeroon River, Charity and across the Essequibo Coast were given special gifts, food, soft drinks and ice cream, compliments of Mrs. Ramotar and her Foundation. A young lady also did some face painting on the little ones. Parents who accompanied their children to the party said they are thankful to the First Lady and her Foundation for making their children feel special. Region 2 Chairman Mr. Parmanand Persaud said he was thankful to the First Lady for bringing gifts for children in the region, while former Member of Parliament Mr. Isahack Basir thanked the children and their parents for travelling long distances from the Pomeroon River to attend the party.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Saturday December 21, 2013

Bird, Wright crush Renegades in Big Bash League opener TEST paceman Jackson Bird made an outstanding return from injury as the Melbourne Stars easily won their KFC T20 Big Bash League opener. Bird was on a hat-trick, took 4-31 from his four overs and also helped execute a run-out to help the Stars beat local rivals Renegades by 76 runs yesterday at the MCG. The Renegades were dismissed for 132 in 17.3 overs. It was Bird’s first match at state level since injuring his back during the fourth Ashes Test in England earlier this year. The Stars scored a team-record 7-208 and the Renegades were never in the hunt. In the fourth over of the innings, Bird took two wickets in three balls and the Renegades were in massive trouble at 3-30. Their danger-man and captain Aaron Finch made only 32 before he fell to a superb outfield catch by David Hussey, leaving them in a hole at 4-44. A 67-run stand from English all-rounder Jos Buttler and Peter

Chanderpaul becomes sixth highest run-scorer in Tests SHIVNARINE Chanderpaul has become the sixth highest run-scorer in Test history after posting an unbeaten 122 against New Zealand in Hamilton. The Guyana and West Indies batsman has now scored 11 199 runs in 153 Test appearances, overtaking Allan Border’s 11 174. The 39-year-old is now only 754 runs behind compatriot Brian Lara, who is fifth on the all-time list. “I’m just trying to take each game as it comes along and trying to do as well as I can,” said Chanderpaul. It was his 29th century overall and his 17th unbeaten ton - one more than the recently retired India legend Sachin Tendulkar. Chanderpaul was keen to pay tribute to former Australian captain Border, who retired in March 1994, the same month in which the Guyanese made his Test debut. “Border is a great man and scored a lot of runs against us in the past - and we have a lot of fast bowlers!” said Chanderpaul. New Zealand ended the second day in Hamilton on 156-3 after West Indies were bowled out for 367. The hosts lead the best-of-three series 1-0, following a dramatic drawn first Test and a comprehensive victory in the second. (BBC Sport)

Taylor pilots NZ on third morning Jackson Bird exults after dismissing Jos Buttler in Melbourne. But Bird took their wickNevill took the Renegades to ets in successive balls to kill 4-111 in the 13th over and they off the challenge. were still in the hunt. Buttler top-scored with 49

the Big Bash opener in and Nevill made 25. Bird’s throw also helped run-out Nathan Rimington for four. Earlier, English all-rounder Luke Wright top-scored with 70 from 32 balls. He and captain Cameron White set up the innings with an opening stand of 95. White made 53, while spin-bowling great Muthiah Muralidaran impressed with 1-23 from four overs. Renegades paceman Jayde Herrick left the field late in the Stars’ innings with a side strain. There was plenty of comment on Twitter about the shortened boundaries, which meant some mishits went for six. “With the ropes in so far at the MCG for the T20, the bowlers are demanding twice the normal salary,” tweeted former Test paceman Rodney Hogg. Bird admitted to some nerves. He had played some grade cricket in Tasmania and Melbourne, plus the Stars’ warm-up games before Friday night. “It’s nice to play some cricket, but to get four wickets and get a win in the first game against the Renegades, it’s definitely a good feeling,” he said. “There hasn’t been that much cricket, but I’ve been bowling a lot in the nets, so I feel like they’re coming out alright. I was a little bit apprehensive when I first got out there. “But once I got that first over out of the way and then to get a couple of wickets in my second over, it calmed my nerves a little bit.” Finch said his team had no answer for the Stars’ dominating performance. “We were totally outplayed - batting, bowling, fielding,” he said. (CA)

BRENDON McCullum and Corey Anderson gave it away but Ross Taylor was still around, piloting New Zealand to 249 for 5 at lunch on the third day of the third Test in Hamilton. The West Indies spinners bowled the 25 of the 34 overs in the session, and New Zealand fared reasonably well against them. It was their own aggression that led to the downfall of McCullum and Anderson, while Taylor ticked along calmly, going past 450 runs for the series and coming within sight of his 11th Test hundred. West Indies weren’t able to exert pressure to the extent they had on the second evening, when their specialist spinners Sunil Narine and Veerasammy Permaul bowled in tandem. Instead, Darren Sammy gave himself a spell of nine overs at the start of the day, bowling alongside Narine. Permaul was introduced only some time after the first drinks break

as West Indies worked with the old ball throughout the session. While Sammy was steady and generated some reverse towards the end of his spell, the New Zealand batsmen were much more comfortable against his medium pace, and whatever pressure Narine exerted at the other end wasn’t maintained for long enough. Brendon McCullum himself handed West Indies the breakthrough in the eighth over of the day. The New Zealand captain backed way to cut a sharply turning and bouncing off-break, found himself cramped for room, and edged for Sammy to take his third sharp catch of the innings, at slip.

Pujara punishes Proteas with sparkling unbeaten 135 By Nick Said JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, (Reuters) - Cheteshwar Pujara punished South Africa’s wilting bowling attack with a sparkling 135 not out as he and Virat Kohli helped India take complete control of the first Test at the Wanderers yesterday. A third-wicket stand of 191 between Pujara and Kohli (77 not out) lifted India to 284 for two in their second innings at the close of play, a commanding lead of 320 on a pitch that still has plenty to offer the bowlers. South Africa’s cause has not been helped by a grade one ankle ligament strain to Morne Morkel that has robbed them of one of their main strike weapons and makes him a serious doubt for the second Test in Durban starting on Boxing Day. The home team’s main worries, however, are more immediate. Pujara showed admirable patience and plenty of skill in compiling his sixth Test century but did offer a relatively simple caught-and-bowled chance to the hapless Imran Tahir when he had just passed 50. The leg-spinner put it down to compound a miserable match in which he has conceded 102 runs in 19 overs without taking a wicket. As the South African attack began to tire, Pujara and Kohli stepped up the scoring rate and

smashed 175 in 38 overs in the final session, making a mockery of the difficult pitch conditions. “When Morne Morkel got injured we didn’t want to lose out on that, we wanted to play tighter to make them tired,” India opener Murali Vijay (39) told reporters. “There is a crack in the middle of the pitch so I think there will be deviation. They (Pujara and Kohli) played brilliantly, Kohli just dominated the innings. “I am really happy for Pujara, he worked really hard. We are in a very good position but we still have to get 10 wickets.” South Africa had said before the start of play that chasing anything over 250 would be a challenge. PHILANDER MILESTONE Paceman Vernon Philander became the fastest South African to take 100 Test wickets when he enticed Shikhar Dhawan (15) to steer the ball to second-slip Jacques Kallis who took his 199th Test catch. Philander claimed his 100th

Sri Lanka name Englishman Farbrace as coach (REUTERS) - Englishman Paul Farbrace will succeed Graham Ford as Sri Lanka’s head coach from the start of next year, the country’s cricket board said yesterday. Farbrace, a former assistant manager of the Sri Lanka side who has been coaching Yorkshire’s second XI, has agreed a two-year contract, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement. “The final decision was made after much deliberation as a selection of Sri Lankan candidates showed commendable credentials as applicants to this post,” the SLC said. “SLC wishes to thank Yorkshire Cricket Club for being generous enough to release Farbrace for duty in Sri Lanka,” it added. Ford, who took over when Australian Geoff Marsh was sacked in January 2012, had

decided to step down after the Test series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates starting later this month. Sri Lanka’s assistant coach under Trevor Bayliss from 2007 to 2009, the 46-year-old Farbrace will be in charge of the team’s World Cup campaigns both in the Twenty20 (2014) and 50-over (2015) formats. “Paul is an outstanding

coach and deserves to take on this role with Sri Lanka Cricket,” said Yorkshire’s director of cricket Martyn Moxon. “He has implemented a successful coaching model, which has underpinned our success over the past two years. “He is a good friend and will always be welcome to visit us at Headingley at any time.”

Paul Farbrace returns to coach Sri Lanka.

It is going to be hard work especially having a bowler less,” Philander said. “It’s sad to see Morne go down but we have to come up with the goods and produce. “They (India’s batsmen) left very well again but like I said

GFA Banks Beer Cup

Pollard hopes for improvement as Slingerz face Monedderlust “WE ARE in a position unlike many teams around; because of our name we have to perform. Because of the quality of players we have on the team, we always have to go out there and make sure we always give a good account of ourselves because people think so highly of us.” Those were the words of Slingerz Football Club head coach Charles ‘Lily’ Pollard, whose side will play in their first Georgetown Football Association (GFA) Banks Beer Cup where they are one of the top contenders to capture the crown and the $4M first prize, and are also preparing to take

on Berbice’s Monnederlust in their next game. They overcame another Berbice team, Cougars 3-1, in a not-so-impressive performance and Pollard is hoping for a better team performance when the side face Monedderlust tomorrow at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground. Trinidadian Kevon Woodley, who netted a double in the team’s first game, would be returning to continue his fine form while Slingerz will also see the return of Guyana’s Golden Jaguars star forward Vurlon Mills who missed the first game due to a groin injury.

“I think that we would do better on Sunday (tomorrow)” explained Pollard, who also stated that “players didn’t really like the feedback we got from the public and owner. Even though we won, I think that the players also know that they have to play at high standards at all times.” Asked if the composition of the team and the acquisition of new players probably could be used as an excuse, Pollard replied in the negative.

“No. I mean these are all players who played on the national team and are familiar with each other and we have been together long enough. But I think the guys are a little rusty because since we won the league, like over two weeks ago, we have played no competitive football, so maybe you can say that”. The once-feared defender said that what he’s pleased with is that the team have a following and people always expect them to do well.

“That’s something you don’t really get. Most people really don’t like ‘Big Clubs’ because they normally support the underdogs. “But it’s different for us. People expect us to win every game by big margins and I think that will do good for the guys to go out there and play well and know that they are people who are depending on them to always do well and so they will actually work hard,” the former national captain noted.

Philander is fastest South Injured Morkel unable to African bowler to 100 bowl in rest of Test match Test wickets By Firdose Moonda in Johannesburg

SOUTH Africa fast bowler Morne Morkel will not be able to bowl anymore in the ongoing Test against India, after suffering an ankle ligament injury just before lunch on the third day at the Wanderers. His participation in the second Test is also in doubt, with team manager Mohammad Moosajee saying a grade one ligament injury usually takes seven to ten days to heal. Morkel’s unavailability left South Africa in a dire position in the first Test: India’s lead was 67 when he hobbled off before lunch

and they had extended it beyond 250 with eight wickets in hand by the time the severity of the injury was confirmed. He will bat in South Africa’s second innings only if absolutely necessary. “Losing Morne is probably worse pain than my toothache,” Vernon Philander, who bowled 18 overs in Morkel’s absence, said after the day’s play. Morkel fell while fielding in the over before lunch and appeared to have twisted his right ankle when his foot got stuck in the turf as he ran around from fine leg to collect a ball. He managed to throw the ball back to the wicketkeeper

but then went down, clutching his ankle. South Africa captain Graeme Smith, was at his side immediately and one of the fielders called for a stretcher, but after the physiotherapist Brandon Jackson arrived on the field, Morkel was able to walk off, helped by bowling coach Allan Donald. Morkel had bowled only two overs in the second innings before he was injured. He had been South Africa’s most impressive bowler in India’s first innings, taking three wickets and generating steep bounce. By the end of the first session on the third day, India had reached 31 for 1, extending their lead to 67 runs.

He followed up with the first of two ten-wicket hauls, against Sri Lanka, in Centurion. His other ten-for came in Hamilton, the following March, where Doug Bracewell became his 50th wicket. At that stage, Philander had only played in South Africa and New Zealand, and some expected things to get much tougher for him in other conditions. In his first two Tests in England, it seemed they had a point. He took just five wickets before surging to seven at Lord’s, including a match-winning five-for in the second innings. With that series win, South Africa became the No. 1 ranked team in the world. Overall, Philander’s record is only slightly less impressive on the road than it is at home. Forty-three of his 100 wickets have come in New Zealand, England, Australia and the UAE at an average of 22.00, while the remaining 57 were picked up in South Africa at a touch over 14. His most successful hunting ground is his home venue, Newlands, where he has 30 wickets at an average of just 12.00.

Linden will have football on New Year’s Day, says Solomon REGIONAL Chairman and president of the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) Sharma Solomon said the people of Linden will have football on January 1, contrary to what the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and its General Council are saying. Under the newly launched Banks GT Beer, 14 clubs from Linden are doing battle to see who would walk away with the tournament’s $1M first prize and it was their hope to conclude the tournament on January 1 (New Year’s Day) but

Sharma Solomon the GFF raised the Red Card on its affiliate. The Federation’s General Council met recently and voted to not have another final

on that day, stating that there are already two; the GFA Banks Beer Cup and the Chico Kashif and Shanghai U-18 championship. “We have exhausted all options and still continue to come up with solutions to this because the people of Linden want to have football on January 1. The thing is we have to subject to the decision of the General Council but we really feel as though they don’t make any sense,” Solomon said. Solomon and his executives have been frequenting the City trying to convince

the GFF and its body that “for Linden this is more than just a tournament, it’s an event and it’s them getting something that they feel was taken away from them and now this is their opportunity to get it back” He added, “Sadly we have tried to tell the GFF that but they hold on to the fact that there are already the GFA tournament and now the K&S tournament and it would be unfair to football fans.” According to the GFF, the UDFA was given the proposed dates for the staging of its

yearend tournament and January 1 was not given as one of those, but rather the GFA was permitted to play its final on that date. In an article published in Kaieteur News, GFF president Christopher Matthias said “In the interest of the sponsor (Banks DIH) which has undertaken to sponsor both tournaments, stakeholders and the fans, it would not have been prudent to host both finals on the same day since it would naturally rob the fans and other related interest groups of the oppor-

tunity to see both finals if they desire to and this obviously would not have been an ideal scenario.” However, Banks DIH had already signed a contract with the UDFA stating that they are prepared to host the finals on January 1, but also said that they will have to be guided by the rules and regulations of the GFF. “I don’t know what will happen but one thing I know for sure is that the people of Linden will have football on January 1” Solomon reiterated.

Mathews leads Sri Lanka home despite Shehzad’s ton AANGELO Mathews produced a captain’s innings to lead Sri Lanka to a nail-biting two-wicket win in the second one-day international against Pakistan in Dubai. Chasing 285 for victory, Sri Lanka got home with just two balls to spare to level the five-match series at 1-1 heading into game three in Sharjah tomorrow. Mathews’ 47 runs off 44 deliveries was enough to get his side over the line after Kumar Sangakkara (58) and Dinesh Chandimal (44) had laid the groundwork. Sri Lanka’s balanced batting performance proved enough for victory despite Ahmed Shehzad hitting a century as Pakistan racked up 284 for four from their 50 overs. The 22-year-old Pakistan opener almost batted through the innings as he paced himself to three figures with eight boundaries in a 140-ball 124. Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq fin-

ished unbeaten on 59 and along with Shahid Afridi (30 not out) took 51 from the final 29 balls. Shehzad scored a century against South Africa in Port Elizabeth during last month’s surprise series win and, after Pakistan were sent in, he moved them into a strong position. Opening partner Sharjeel Khan lasted only until the second over before being trapped by Lasith Malinga (one for 78) before Mohammad Hafeez - a centurion in the 11-run opening win - bedded in alongside him. They cautiously carried the score to 84 in the 20th over when Hafeez (32) misjudged a second run and was caught well short by Dimuth Karunaratne’s throw from deep mid-wicket. More good fielding accounted for Sohaib Maqsood (18) when Chandimal ran around from long on to hold from a Seekkuge Prasanna long hop.

Ahmed Shehzad raises the bat after reaching his century.

Misbah joined Shehzad in a 103-run stand that increased the tempo, with the opener reaching his fourth ODI century when he pulled a short ball from Malinga for a single. Malinga was proving unusually costly and in the same over Shehzad flicked the ball to the ropes Misbah powerfully belted him back over the sightscreen. Shehzad departed in the 46th over when he shuffled in front of his stumps to Nuwan Kulasekara, but that only brought Afridi to the crease. The all-rounder added to Malinga’s woes with a six that Tillakaratne Dilshan got a hand to as it flew over the rope. Another maximum in Kulasekara’s final over, which cost 15, added to the late damage as Afridi finished unbeaten on 30 from 15 balls. Sri Lanka made a bright start to their run chase, moving to 49 without loss before

they were knocked out of their stride by successive run-outs for openers Kusal Perera (16) and Dilshan (40). Sangakkara and Chandimal steadied the ship, taking the score from 65 for two to 159 before Sangakkara was removed by Saeed Ajmal. Chandimal followed two overs later when he was bowled by Junaid Khan, who repeated the trick to remove Thisara Perera (five) in his next spell to leave Sri Lanka wobbling on 173 for five in the 36th over. Mathews soon restored calm to the Sri Lanka ranks as he and Kulasekara (32) took the score well beyond 200. Prasanna (six) and Karunaratne (16 n.o.) also chipped in as Mathews steered Sri Lanka to within sight of victory before he was removed by Afridi in the final over, leaving Sachithra Senanayake (six not out) to hit the winning boundary.

Finn and Root support Andy Flower ENGLAND seamer Steven Finn says it would be “a great loss” if Andy Flower left his position as England coach. Flower will not comment on his future beyond the end of the Ashes series, which England lost to Australia with two Tests still to play. He’s been fantastic for the group,” Finn told BBC Radio 5 live. “He’s always working extremely hard to make sure that we’re as prepared as we can possibly be for Test matches. It would be a great loss if he goes.” Finn, who was given his Test debut by Flower on England’s tour of Bangladesh in March 2010, added: “I’ve had a really good working relationship with him and a personal relationship.” England had won three successive Ashes series under Flower. The 45-year-old Zimbabwean also guided the team to victo-

ry in the ICC World Twenty20 competition in 2010 and led them to the top of the Test rankings a year later. But former England captain Geoffrey Boycott said the coach must decide on his future quickly so the side can plan ahead. Batsman Joe Root has also offered his support for Flower. “He has done a fantastic thing for English cricket over his career,” said the 22-year-old. “He’s been very good for my development as a player. It’s been great working with him and hopefully that can continue.” Root also said the team should not look further ahead than the fourth Test in Melbourne, starting on Boxing Day. “It’s a massive game for us and we want to put a lot of things right,” he said. “If we start looking too far ahead, things could slip away.

New Zealand fighting for the advantage against Windies HAMILTON, New Zealand (CMC) - West Indies frustrated New Zealand with bat and ball but Ross Taylor’s unbeaten half-century helped to steer the Black Caps to safety on the second day of the third Test at Seddon Park Hamilton here yesterday. Taylor is undefeated on 56 and Kane Williamson was bowled by Sunil Narine for 58 as New Zealand closed the day on 156 for three, in reply to West Indies 367 all out, highlighted by centuries from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Denesh Ramdin. Taylor and Williamson added 95 to ease some of New Zealand’s pressure after their openers went cheaply on a slow wicket. The Black Caps needed the stand after West Indies captain Darren Sammy celebrated his 30th birthday by pulling off two brilliant catches to reduce them to 43-2. Opening the bowling, he stooped on his follow-through to pick up a low return catch to remove Hamish Rutherford

Clarke nets hat- trick as Annandale dispose of QC FORTY-EIGHT hours ago, Annandale Secondary School churned out a clinical performance to dispose of Uitvlugt Secondary in their opening fixture of this year’s Kashif and Shanghai/Chico Elite Next Generation football championships. Not that anyone questioned their ability to win matches as they had came from behind to defeat Uitvlugt at Den Amstel, So Annandale turned up in true fashion at the Georgetown Football Club ground last Thursday to send Queen’s College (QC) packing from the tournament with a commanding 5-2 win. This time, they were indebted to Dimitri Clarke’s hat-trick of goals scored in the 77th, 87th and 90th minutes of play, that ensured Annandale not only win, but also earn themselves a place in the quarterfinals. Also making it to the quarterfinals were Petra Organisation/Milo Under-18 champions St George’s Secondary, who displayed their superiority with

As was evident when they opposed Uitvlugt, Annandale conceded an early goal when Kabian Daly pierced their defence and custodian in the 13th minute to give the Thomas Lands-based QC the lead, one that they enjoyed at lemon-time with the score reading 1-0. Annandale’s first game hero Kristoff Stoll nullified that lead with his 56th minute strike, but an own goal that was scored four minutes later, sent QC back into the lead, even as Clarke was working overtime in the latter stages of the first half to negate Daly’s goal. With Stoll showcasing his class on the left flank, Clarke’s work was made easy even as his side were energised from Stoll’s exploits and in the 77th minute, he give them the equaliser followed by the go-ahead goal 10 minutes later, while he

Despite having to wait a lengthy time to begin their contest due to a power outage, St George’s scored all four goals in the first half, thanks to Adolph George (28th), Robby McDoggan (31st), Jermaine Scott (39th) and Neil Cameron (44th) to dispose of East Ruimveldt whose goal came off the boot of their skipper Romel Legall.

and then used his sharp reflexes at leg slip to dispose of Peter Fulton. Narine posed the biggest threat, occasionally bamboozling both Williamson and Taylor with his variations including the use of the carrom ball across the right-handers from round the wicket. He trapped Williamson lbw for 58 before stumps after review upheld the decision by umpire Nigel Llong. Taylor himself survived an early lbw shout that was referred to the third umpire and Brendon McCullum was with him on 11 at the end. Earlier, the tourists added 60 runs for the final two wickets after Chanderpaul scored his 29th Test century and later took their score beyond 350. The 39-year-old Chanderpaul, who became the sixth highest run-scorer in Test cricket when he reached 98, was unbeaten on 122.

CONCACAF picks Bermuda Under-16s to play in Mexico tournament H A M I LT O N , B e r m u d a (CMC) -- CONCACAF has chosen Bermuda’s Under-16 side to play in next summer’s third Copa Mexico de Naciones tournament, the Bermuda Football Association (BFA) has announced. CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb said Bermuda’s Under-16s were selected as reward for the team’s impressive showing at the CONCACAF Under-15 competition in the Cayman Islands earlier this year, when they emerged as the leading country from the Caribbean region. That Under-15 team is now the Under-16 team. Mexico will cover all expenses once the team arrives in the country, while the BFA will cover air fares for 20 players and five technical staff at an estimated cost of US$1200 per person, the BFA said.

“We are absolutely pleased that CONCACAF and Mexico have seen fit to recognise the Bermuda Under-15 Boys’ national team as the best of the Caribbean countries,” BFA president Larry Mussenden said. “It will be a very proud moment for Bermuda to represent the Caribbean in the Mexico tournament. Everyone in Bermuda should be proud of the Under-15 Boys’ national team.” Mussenden says the BFA is looking for financial support from the Bermuda government and corporate sectors to make the trip a reality. “Additionally, we anticipate that the team itself will undertake various activities to raise funds,” Mussenden added. BFA player development chairman Mark Wade says the Copa de Naciones tournament will serve as an ideal warm-up

for other future international competitions. “I anticipate the Mexico tournament to be before the Caribbean Football Union Under-17 World Cup qualifying rounds and this would be great preparation,” he said. “This is a positive development. “This exciting news is a testament to our long-term goal that Bermuda will be the best of the Caribbean at every age level.” The Copa Mexico de Naciones tournament, featuring 16 teams from various confederations, will be held from August 2 to 10 in Mexico City. The competition will consist of four groups of four teams that will play against each other in the group stage with the top two from each advancing to the knockout phase.

MLS Super Star of Guyanese parentage Dwayne De Rosario heads to Linden By Rawle Toney THE USA’s Major League Soccer (MLS) Super Star Dwayne De Rosario is expected to arrive in Guyana today to conduct a coaching clinic with 52 children between the ages of 10 and 18 years at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground in Linden tomorrow. De Rosario, who has Guyanese parentage, has never visited Guyana and has expressed his delight to not only make his maiden voyage to the Land of Many Waters, but also impart his knowledge of the game to the youths of the Mining Town. He plays with Toronto Football Club and is said to be the face of the MLS, having won the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and

Player (2001, 2007), Toronto FC Player-of-the-Year (2009), Canadian Player-of-the-Year

(2005, 2006, 2007, 2011) and Canadian Championship Golden Boot (2009 and 2010). Tomorrow’s clinic is hosted by the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation in conjunction with another overseas-based Guyanese Garth Nelson and according to Kashif Muhammad, they are extremely happy to have the Canadian as part of their plan for youth football and their tournament. “It’s an honour for us to have Dwayne De Rosario here and we know that the kids will also embrace him and accept his knowledge that he would be looking to impart. I think this is great for children to have a top flight professional player here in Guyana and I must say that we are welcome to host him,” said Muham-

mad. He also mentioned that this is “part of what we at the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation had planned for our school’s tournament and we teamed up with Garth Nelson of the USA to actually make this happen” In an invited comment from his home in New York, Nelson who also hails from Linden said he had actually thrown out the idea to have De Rosario in Guyana to the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) but mediation fell through and as such, Kashif and Shanghai stepped up to make it happen. “What we wanted to do really is make it a longer stint where he can actually spend some more time with the kids, but I think what he is more excited about is returning to the

home of his parents and seeing the kids play in the school tournament. He’s presently in Trinidad doing the same thing that he’s going to be doing in Linden,” Nelson said. Nelson added that while De Rosario has never visited Guyana, he speaks with a deep Guyanese accent. “He’s really deep with his Guyanese culture and this is because of his parents and family who are all Guyanese so he knows everything about Guyana but never really got a chance to visit because playing football is all he does basically.” De Rosario is also Canada’s all-time leading goalscorer and he is the only player in MLS history to score 20 league goals for four different clubs.

MLS Super Star of Guyanese parentage Dwayne De Rosario heads to Linden See Page 31

One-year bragging rights and $500 000 at stake tonight, as Stevedore face Queen Street-Tiger Bay By Calvin Roberts HALF a million dollars and one year’s bragging rights to be called Georgetown’s ‘Guinness Greatest of de Streets’, coupled with a spot in the national playoffs, will be at stake tonight, when Stevedore Housing Scheme face Queen Street-Tiger Bay in the final of the sixth annual Banks DIH-sponsored Georgetown tournament. The battle for third place will precede the final, with Hope Street-Tiger Bay, who lost to their neighbours Queen Street-Tiger Bay in the semifinals two nights ago, taking on Albouystown ‘B’ who went under to Stevedore in the semifinals. Thirty-two teams endured four weeks of intense rivalry, showcasing their skills and techniques across Georgetown, but the two finalists held their nerves and displayed hearts of steel, espe-

hundreds of spectators are hoping to see, they do have within their ranks the savvy and experienced Elroy Parks, who on his night can create tremendous problems for any defence. He has been stabilising the South Georgetown-based team throughout the tournament and with players such as Quason Winter, Stephen Dolphin and Fitzroy Witherspoon to call on for support, Queen Street may very well find themselves being forced to contend with the $300 000 second-place trophy. Like the previous two years of the tournament, the winners and runners-up will go on to represent Georgetown in the nationwide tournament, whose winner will represent Guyana in next year’s Caribbean ‘Guinness Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football competition that is

scheduled to be held in Trinidad and Tobago in June. In the third place playoff, Rensford Coleridge will look to lead Hope Street’s path to redemption along with Dwayne Dickson and Dennis Caledenia against an Albouystown ‘B’ lineup who will have within their ranks Marlon Nedd and Roy Cassou, who will also have the same ideas in mind as they wish to take the $200 000 prize with the loser receiving half of that amount. Along with the above-mentioned prizes, teams will be receiving $25 000, $20 000, $15 000 and $10 000 respectively, according to their placing in the preliminary rounds, prior to the knockout stage while several exhibition matches are carded as part of tonight’s action expected to get under way at 2000hrs with free admission to the venue.
