Maximum number of Puisne Judges increased to 20

THE complement of Puisne Judges has now been officially increased to a maximum of 20. This decision was made after consultation with the judiciary and this is yet another demonstration of the Executive’s commitment to

adequately resourcing the judiciary and supporting its institutional strengthening in order to ensure that in the end, justice is delivered to our people efficiently, competently and with dispatch.

A statement issued yesterday by the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mohabir Anil Nandlall said: “The Government is pleased to announce that on February 3, 2014, His Excellency, President Donald Ramotar, pursuant to Section 3 of the High Court Act, Cap. 3:02 issued the Puisne Judges (maximum number) Order 2014, increasing the number of Puisne Judges to 20. The said Order was duly published on February 8, 2014 in the Official Gazette.”

“The decision to increase the complement of Puisne Judges was made after due consultation with the judiciary. It is yet another demonstration of the Executive’s commitment to adequately resourcing the judiciary and supporting its institutional

strengthening in order to ensure that in the end, justice is delivered to our people efficiently,

competently and with dispatch.

“It is the administration’s hope that this new measure will assist in bringing much needed alacrity to the rate at which cases are heard and determined in our judicial system. From all indications, it appears that the current complement of Puisne Judges is wholly inadequate to meet the volume of litigation engaging the justice system.

We are pleased to note that the Administration had already acted on the matter. “ “We trust that those who are endowed with the high constitutional responsibility of recruiting candidates to fill the new vacancies, will discharge this responsibility with due care and circumspection in order to ensure that the new appointees are imbued with the requisite competence and integrity befitting the office to which they seek appointment.

In this regard, we hope that quality will never be sacrificed for quantity.”

Opposition’s stance on AML/CFT…

Turn up the pressure on your parliamentarians- Edghill

By Leroy Smith

MINISTER within the Ministry of Finance, Juan Edghill on Thursday made the government’s position clear with respect to the combined parliamentary Opposition parties’ positions on the Anti- Money Laundering and Countering Financing Terrorism Bill (AML/CFT).

The government’s position is that it is willing to support any group, person, residents or other organisations who wish to publicly protest the opposition’s position on the bill. The minister was at the time addressing residents from Regions 5 (Mahaica/Berbice) and 6 (East Berbice/Corentyne) at the Berbice High School in New Amsterdam as part of government’s series of meetings to enlighten citizens about the Bill.

Already there were consultations in Linden, New Amsterdam and on Friday the team went to Bartica. The Government has been holding these engagements in the areas which have long been considered the strongholds of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) and these meetings have been receiving large turnouts.

On Thursday there were just over 1,000 persons who attended the meeting and gave their positions and asked questions with respect to the Bill and the proposals for amendments being put forward by the Opposition. With the exception of one gentleman, all other persons who stood to add to the discussion were very critical of the Opposition’s position with the empowering of the police to do certain things under the act.

In his address, Edghill told the residents and regional officials that there are various bodies which have been tasked with the respon-

sibility of ensuring that member states of the United Nations in their legislation have the necessary clauses to ensure that their financing systems are not used to facilitate terrorism and money laundering.

He reminded the audience that the move was taken after the bombing of the World Trade Centre in 2000.

In spelling out the actual reasons for the AML/ CFT Bill, Edghill told the residents that the new bill being proposed in the National Assembly fixes loop holes in the previous legislation of 2009 and once passed in the National Assembly, terrorists and money launderers will not be able to hide their money into programmes and other outlets to make them appear legal.

Edghill said that at the level of the Government of Guyana, all the systems were put in place to ensure that Guyana was in comJUAN EDGHILL pliance with the deadline for the amendments but since the process started the Opposition has been giving the government the devil’s own job to support the Bill.

Edghill spoke of the lengthy period the bill spent at the select

committee level of the National Assembly. He admitted that while at the select committee it was agreed that there were several things which were missing from the Act of 2009 which allowed money launderers and those suspected to be part of terrorism to be able to cheat and beat the system in what is commonly known as “ stricter the government wiser the population”.

Edghill explained that after the Bill went through with the process at the level of the Select Committee it was reviewed and recommendations were made.

What was important to note, Edghill told the Berbicians, is that everything that was in the Bill of 2009 which was passed by the Government and Opposition are again in the Bill of 2013 but with some adjustments and yet the Oposition continues to kick up a storm.

Edghill said that because of the “pussy footing” of the Oposition at the level of the Select Committee and their attitude of complaining about everything under the sun, the Government in trying to meet the international deadline for the passage of the Bill even agreed to meet on Saturdays and Sundays, something that the 0pposition also agreed to but yet again, made very little of the engagements.

On Thursday, the minister told the residents to put pressure on their politicians namely the AFC and other parliamentary representatives who were elected to serve them. He encouraged the residents to petition Moses Nagamootoo, Dr. Ramaya, and Khemraj Ramjattan by dropping mails in their mail boxes, protesting in front of their offices, homes and everywhere they go.

The message Edghill said, should be “support the bill, let the bill be passed by the new deadline date” Also present at the Town Hall meeting were Ministers of Legal Affairs and Finance, Anil Nandlall and Ashni Singh

Grassroots organisations increase calls for enactment of AML/CFT Bill THE Guyana Agricultural Producers’ Association (GAPA), a grassroots organisation representing some 10,000 persons, has joined calls for enactment of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill.

The Association stressed in a statement the need for “reason to prevail” in the discussions among political parties represented in the National Assembly. GAPA said, “We welcome the reprieve given to Guyana by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in not taking Guyana up for the International Cooperation Review Group’s (ICRG) Review.

“However, the new February 28 deadline behooves officials elected by the people to act in (the people’s) best interest and ensure that the dire consequences of further negative pronouncements by CFATF (are) avoided.”

EFFECTS BEING FELT According to the Association, the effects of the non-passage of the legislation, which will bring Guyana in line with international requirements, are already being felt.

GAPA said, “GAPA’s members, some 10,000 stakeholders, stand to be affected severely on different fronts. One area in particular is the international funding that is available to small and medium-sized enterprises for climate change adaptation activities.

“The Ministry of Agriculture had already completed the necessary documentation for submission, which has to be done through the Ministry of Finance. However, given that the Ministry of Finance is not in a position to produce evidence of compliance with international standards, as stated by CFATF, the multi-million-dollar fund, a scheme supported by Norway, cannot be accessed.”

The group noted, too, that grants and loans available from other regional agencies are also being affected by the non-passage of the

AML/CFT Bill.

“The agriculture sector is one of Guyana’s main economic pillars, and the average hardworking Guyanese man and woman are the ones at the frontline who will face the repercussions of non-compliance to international standards,” GAPA stressed.

CFATF has already said, “Guyana must therefore pass the relevant legislation and implement all the outstanding issues within its Action Plan, including: (1) fully criminalising money laundering and terrorist financing offences; (2) addressing all the requirements on beneficial ownership; (3)strengthening the requirements for suspicious transaction reporting, international co-operation, and the freezing and confiscation of terrorist assets; and (4) fully implementing the UN conventions.

“Members are therefore called upon to consider implementing counter-measures to protect their financial systems from the ongoing money laundering and terrorist financing risks emanating from Guyana.”

To this end, the Association made clear the urgent need for “reason to prevail” within the Opposition ranks to allow a position change that would see the AML/CFT Bill sent to the National Assembly.

The Opposition currently maintains that despite unanimous support for the AML/CFT Bill, it will not be sent to the National Assembly until three proposed amendments are included. Those three amendments seek to: change the entire governing apparatus of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); remove the Attorney General wherever that name appears and replace it with the FIU; and vest police officers or customs officers with a power to seize currencies from any person anywhere in Guyana, if those officers have reason to believe that the currencies are the proceeds of crime, or will be used to finance crime.

The Opposition has the majority on the Parliamentary Select

Committee reviewing the Bill, and to date only a partial draft of their three amendments, which Government contends are problematic, has been completed by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel’s Office.

Ukraine parliament ousts Yanukovich, Tymoshenko freed

By Pavel Polityuk and Matt Robinson (Reuters) - Ukraine’s parliament voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovich after three months of street protests, while his arch-rival Yulia Tymoshenko hailed opposition demonstrators as “heroes” in an emotional speech in Kiev after she was released from jail.

Yanukovich abandoned the capital to the opposition on Saturday and denounced what he described as a coup after several days of bloodshed this week that claimed 82 lives.

Supporters cheered former Prime Minister Tymoshenko as she left the hospital where she had been held. When she spoke later in Kiev, her reception was

mixed.

Her release marks a radical transformation in the former Soviet republic of 46 million people. Removal of the pro-Russian Yanukovich should pull Ukraine away from Moscow’s orbit and closer to Europe.

It is also a reversal for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s dream of recreating as much as possible of the Soviet Union in a new Eurasian Union. Moscow had counted on Yanukovich to deliver Ukraine as a central member.

Members of the Ukrainian parliament, who abandoned Yanukovich after this week’s bloodshed, applauded and sang the national anthem after declaring him constitutionally unable to carry out his duties. An early

election was set for May 25.

“This is a political knockout,” opposition leader and retired world boxing champion Vitaly Klitschko told reporters.

In a television interview the station said was conducted in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, Yanukovich said he would not resign or leave the country, and called decisions by parliament “illegal”.

“The events witnessed by our country and the whole world are an example of a coup d’etat,” he said, comparing it to the rise of the Nazis to power in Germany in the 1930s.

Interfax news agency said border guards refused to let Yanukovich exit the country when he tried to fly out from the eastern city of Donetsk.

Setting herself immediately on a collision course with Moscow, Tymoshenko said she was sure her country would join the European Union in the near future. Her release was welcomed

by Washington.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said “illegal extremist groups are refusing to disarm and in fact are taking Kiev under their control with

SECRET ESTATE At Yanukovich’s abandoned secret estate a short distance from Kiev, people flocked to take photographs of his private zoo with ostriches and deer, replica ancient Greek ruins, and lavish waterways and follies.

Despite Yanukovich’s defiance, the dismantling of his authority seemed all but complete.

Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko addresses anti-government protesters gathered in the Independence Square in Kiev February 22, 2014. the connivance of opposition leaders”.

As night fell, 30,000 opposition supporters on Kiev’s Independence Square, scene of nearly three months of protests, were in buoyant mood.

There was sadness too, with coffins displayed in front of the crowd as priests said prayers.

People crossed themselves in front of makeshift shrines with candles and pictures of the dead.

Two captured water cannon trucks were parked in the square like trophies of war.

Carried on to a stage in a wheelchair, an emotional and tired-looking Tymoshenko told the protesters on the square, known as the Maidan: “You have no right to leave the Maidan ...

Don’t stop yet.

His cabinet promised a transition to a new government, the police declared themselves behind the protesters and his arch-rival Tymoshenko went free.

Tymoshenko, with her trademark braided hair, waved to supporters from a car as she was driven out of the hospital in Kharkiv, where she has been treated for a bad back while serving a seven-year sentence since 2011.

FIERY ORATORY Showing glimpses of the fiery oratory that drove her to power, Tymoshenko shouted: “This is a Ukraine of different people. The ones who died on Maidan are our liberators, our heroes for centuries.”

The response was mixed.

Tymoshenko is a divisive figure

in Ukraine, where many have become disillusioned with a political class they see as corrupt and elitist.

Small pockets of the crowd clapped and sang Tymoshenko’s name, but the chants did not catch on. Whistles could be heard. Others listened silently.

Earlier, the Ukrainian cabinet said it was committed to a responsible transfer of power.

Military and police leaders said they would not get involved in any internal conflict.

Yanukovich enraged much of the population by turning away from the European Union to cultivate closer relations with Russia three months ago. On Friday, he made sweeping concessions in a deal brokered by European diplomats after days of street battles during which police snipers gunned down protesters.

But the deal, which called for early elections by the end of the year, was not enough to satisfy pro-Europe demonstrators on Independence Square.

They wanted Yanukovich out immediately in the wake of the bloodletting.

The release of Tymoshenko transforms Ukraine by giving the opposition a single leader who may become president, although Klitschko and others also have claims.

Tymoshenko, 53, was jailed by a court under Yanukovich over a natural gas deal with Russia she arranged while serving as premier before he took office.

The EU had long considered her a political prisoner, and her freedom was one of the main demands it had for closer ties with Ukraine during years of negotiations that ended when Yanukovich turned towards Moscow in November.

She had served as a leader of the “Orange Revolution” of mass demonstrations which overturned a fraudulent election victory for Yanukovich in 2004, but after a divisive term as prime minister she lost to him in an election in 2010.

Venezuela leader Nicolas Maduro seeks talks with Obama Shorty’ Guzman had been on the run for 13 years

Mexico’s top drug lord Joaquin ‘Shorty’ Guzman arrested (BBC News) One of the world’s most wanted drug barons, Joaquin Guzman, known as El Chapo or “Shorty”, has been arrested in Mexico.

He was the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, which smuggles huge amounts of illegal drugs into the US. “Shorty” Guzman had been on the run since escaping a high-security prison in a laundry basket in 2001.

He was arrested in Sinaloa state, in a joint operation with US anti-drugs forces.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto used his Twitter account to praise the forces involved in the arrest in the north-western resort of Mazatlan, in Sinaloa state.

Guzman was taken to Mexico City and paraded before the media, before boarding a helicopter surrounded by heavily armed troops.

He was taken straight to prison, Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said.

The US state department had offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.2m) for information leading to his arrest.

US Attorney General Eric Holder described Guzman’s arrest as “a landmark achievement” for Mexico and “a victory for the citizens of both Mexico and the United States”.

‘Shorty’ Guzman has been indicted in the US on federal trafficking charges.

The Sinaloa cartel controls much of the flow of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine to the US. ‘SUCCESS STORY’ Guzman’s arrest is a big boost for the administration of Enrique Pena Nieto, says the BBC’s Will Grant in Mexico City.

Mr Pena Nieto, who took office just over two years ago, said he intended to change the “war on drugs” policy of his predecessor, Felipe Calderon, which critics say led to a rise in violence throughout Mexico.

But Mexican police and

troops have killed or arrested key figures in the drugs cartels since Mr Pena Nieto came to power.

The US has also arrested several associates and relatives of “Shorty” Guzman.

(BBC News)Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has invited US President Barack Obama to join him in talks aimed at resolving the problems between the two countries.

Mr Maduro said the meeting would help “put the truth out on the table”.

He has accused US conservatives and media organisations of plotting to overthrow his government.

Earlier on Friday Venezuela revoked the accreditations of CNN reporters covering the country’s crisis. Eight people have died in recent protests.

In a news conference on Friday, Mr Maduro said: “I call for a dialogue between Venezuela and the United States and its government.

“Let’s initiate a high-level dialogue and let’s put the truth out on the table.”

The dialogue will be “difficult and complex”, Mr Maduro said, until the American government accepted “the full autonomy and independence of Latin America”.

On Sunday Venezuela expelled three US diplomats accused of meeting violent groups linked to the opposition.

to Venezuela to cover a wave of opposition marches.

The government says the protests are part of a coup attempt.

LET THE MUSIC PLAY -but COTT warns it can still sue fete promoters

By Gyasi Gonzales (Sunday Express) THE fetes are on.

Six fetes that were threatened with an injunction on Thursday had they not paid the “required” fees as demanded by the Copyright Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago (COTT), are proceeding.

Misty Ridge Xcite took place last night at the Jean Pierre Complex along with WANTED which was also scheduled for last night at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya.

The other fetes include Fatima Old Boy’s Association all-inclusive fete “RE-BOOT” scheduled for tonight at the school’s Mucurapo Road compound, Misty Ridge Premium All-Inclusive (Sunday, February 23 at the Trinidad Hilton), Shades Breakfast Party (Sunday March 2 at the Soledad Estate), Double Up (March 2 on Ariapita Avenue) and SOCA by the Ranch which is expected to take place tonight at Wilson Ranch, Bypass Road, Arima.

COTT’s chief executive officer Josh Rudder told the

Express yesterday, “We don’t intend to necessarily stop an event because nobody wins.

However, we must protect the rights of our creators of music if they are to ever continue to create and do so profitably.”

He said COTT intends to protect its artistes by monitoring these events for the music used and if there is evidence that any pieces from its 2,900-strong membership are being used then COTT would take legal action against the promoters.

Rudder explained that

“during the course of this week a number of major events had decided to acquire a licence, but this licence does not allow the use of music under COTT’s representation, and we have had numerous conversations and dialogue months in advance with related promoters, who usually indicate the week of the event is due to take place that they will not be acquiring the requisite licence with COTT”.

from its efforts to stifle dissent through force and respect basic human rights.

“The solution to Venezuela’s problems can only be found through dialogue with all Venezuelans, engaging in a free exchange of opinions in a climate of mutual respect.”

On Thursday, Mr Maduro threatened to “take action” against CNN unless it ceased what he described as “hostile coverage”.

“I won’t accept war propaganda against Venezuela. If they don’t rectify themselves, out of Venezuela,” he said.

One of the two US-based CNN journalists who had their work permits revoked, Patricia Janiot, said she had been harassed by Venezuelan officials as she left the country.

In a statement, the network said it was still negotiating with the authorities.

“We hope the government reconsiders its decision. Meanwhile, we will carry on covering events in Venezuela in a fair, accurate and balanced manner,” read the statement.

A close ally of the late president, Hugo Chavez, Mr Maduro was elected by a narrow margin last April.

Political divisions have deepened since the election, and the economy has taken a downturn.

Henrique Capriles, who was defeated in last year’s presidential election, and other opposition leaders have called on people to take to the streets on Saturday, in marches “against violence”.

GUYANA

Guyana should emulate South Africa in the teaching of Hindi GUYANESE (and other Caribbean nations) could also take note of the South African Indo cultural strides.

In Guyana and Trinidad, the new chutney songs that emerge are just like the old ones – except for the lyrics - same (very lively) beat (to gyrate), no variety, same vulgarity and same ugliness. In

South Africa, the chutney music, though lively, has a distinct harmonium sound, accompanied equivocally by the dholak, and there is a wide variety of tempos. It is a joy to listen and be part of the scene – unlike in Guyana and Trinidad, where low-life and vulgarity are the rule rather than the exception. (Chutney

music aspirers would do well to listen to the Bhojpuri music (available on the internet) to learn about beats, tunes, rhythm, musical instruments used, etc.)

Guyana should also emulate South Africa to allow the teaching of Hindi in schools. Considering our linguistic and cultural heritage,

it is prudent to allow students to learn Hindi basics. Our Guyanese dialect has scores of Hindi-derived words, and Indian music and culture are distinct entities in our country.

EDITORIAL COMMENDABLE TWIN FOCUS America never takes THE GOVERNMENT’S focus on two national issues of tremendous importance for the peaceful economic and social development of Guyana was clearly highlighted on Friday when, separately, further high-level attention was given to the urgent need for parliament’s approval of the anti-money laundering and combating terrorism bill, as well as tough, systematic action to beat back the forces of criminality.

It is of significance that President Donald Ramotar chose to have this twin focus by his administration highlighted on the eve of Guyana’s 44th Republic Anniversary as if to dramatise the government’s determination to remove all obstacles to continued national development.

Consequently, in addition to a special meeting involving Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh. the chair of Parliament’s Select Committee, Gail Teixeira and other key advisers and a top official of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), Roger Hernandez, President Ramotar opted to conduct a special meeting on crime and security with Police Commissioner, Leroy Brumell, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud, Commander of ‘A’ Division George Vyphius, and presidential adviser, Gail Teixeira.

The CFATF’s adviser has been working closely, over a period of months, with the Guyana Government and parliamentary opposition to help ensure correct provisions are made in the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill.

This time around for his latest visit to Guyana, he has publicly made it quite clear that amendments offered for the legislation by APNU (A Partnership for National Unity) are quite “risky.”

APNU’s leader and his colleagues like, Carl Greenidge, should therefore, make serious efforts to remove the identified “risky” changes they have submitted so that Parliament’s Select Committee could be ready with the final draft for approval and save Guyana from the looming international “blacklisting” as a state under watch for conducting financial business.

How much longer the opposition coalition of APNU and the AFC intend to engage in self-serving politics that will have the ultimate effect of blackmailing not just the government but the nation of Guyana?

So far as the mind-boggling acts of criminality are concerned, with recurring manifestations of horrifying execution-style and other forms of murder, as well as the rising brazen cases of armed robberies and rape. We could only hope that whatever decisions were made at the meeting conducted by President Ramotar with the top brass of the Guyana Police Force, would result in significant new initiatives to effectively arrest the frightening criminal epidemic.

Perhaps the time has come for phased implementation of a state of emergency with blanket searches for arms and ammunition as part of the new drive to use legal means to end the reign of armed killers and robbers now terrifying Guyanese across this nation.

blame for anything

THE entire world knows the US will never take blame for anything.

They never took blame that they wanted to make Cuba their whorehouse until Cubans put a halt to it.

Imagine they never took blame for removing a democratically elected government in Iran and replaced it with their puppet, the Shah and were even giving their puppet nukes.

These days you think American want Iran to have nukes? No way in hell.

Imagine the Americans and their poodle the Brits start singing their song to Guyanese “the Russians are coming and don’t want Guyana to be like Cuba so the Americans along with their poodle the Brits removed a democratically elected government and replaced it with their PNC puppet, Forbes Burnham.

Ever want to know what so wrong the Vietcong did Americans for Americans to invade their country where it killed so many innocent people.

Not America’s fault?

Imagine America had Bin Laden on their payroll in Afghanistan to fight and kill Russians.

When Bin Laden done the dirty work for the Americans they threw him and the Mujahadeens fighters under the bus then called them “Taliban terrorists.”

America and their poodle the Brits conjured a plan to get rid of Sadam Hussein and what a job they did killing so many innocent citizens of that country.

The Americans didn’t even want the wikileaks guy to show the world where Americans military helicopter personnel were killing innocent men taking their kids to school.

Oh no! It was not America!

The list can go on and on of American atrocities; but hell no it’s

not America.

Look at the military hardware America gives the Israelis to crush Arabs.

Oh and Sadam had WMD which he could have brought to America in the form of a “mushroom cloud.”

Guyanese should open their eyes to see why the government rejected outright the American poodles’ help in security reforms who wanted part of Guyana to carry out live round ammo training and to keep an eye on Venezuela.

It had nothing to do with security reforms but everything to do with American poodle the Brits, keeping watch on Venezuela for America from Guyana s’ soil.

Venezuela’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its embassy in Georgetown criticised United States Secretary of State, John Kerry for comments following charges by high-ranking Venezuelan officials, that his country is supporting the orchestration of a coup d’état by the Opposition.

The Venezuelan Ambassador to Guyana, Reina Margarita Arratia Diaz, on Tuesday in an interview, denounced the “destabilising actions” of the Opposition in her country, for “violating” the nation’s people.

She charged that the “fascist” Opposition is being supported via “interference” by the U.S. through its State Department, to orchestrate a coup d’état.

Speaking through translator Liliana Tejeda, the Ambassador alleged that the U.S. support is being offered to Opposition elements through the funding and training of youth organisations, as well as civil society, to “practise acts of violence” and create chaos.

Labourer attempts suicide after remanded on rape charge FRANCIS Gonsalves, a 32-year-old labourer of Charity, Essequibo Coast tried to commit suicide on Thursday in the Suddie Magistrate’s Court after Essequibo Magistrate Sunil Scarce had remanded him to prison on a charge of having forced sex with a female at Charity on February 17.

Prosecutor Krishna Datt Ramana reportedly had to grab Gonsalves after he made a daring dash for the window, and attempted to hurl himself onto the concrete floor some twelve

feet below, saying that he does not want to go to prison again.

Gonsalves was not required to plead to the indictable charge of rape; and the prosecutor, who objected to bail, said the victim had been rescued by the mother of the accused, and that violence had been used in perpetrating the act.

Ramana said that evidence in the matter is very strong.

Magistrate Sunil Scarce has ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the prisoner.

Cultural Education and Tolerance

By Keith Burrowes

ONE movie that I watched some time and enjoyed immensely was Crash. For those who haven’t seen it, permit me to offer something of a plot summary. The movie was set in Los Angeles, better known as LA. It follows the lives of several people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and explored how they interact with each other. While the movie’s events evolve around what the title suggests, an automobile accident, the main message is about the ‘collisions’ the characters have with each other throughout a particular timeline.

Tolerance is broader than the narrow field of racial tolerance or intolerance. Tolerance at its most basic level is more an issue of culture than it is any one thing. The one flaw which was present in all the characters in Crash was not that they possessed any inherent unshakeable prejudice – it was their lack of cultural education.

My perspective on cultural education in Guyana may per-

haps be limited to my own personal sphere of experience. That being said, I think that, judging from how our society is, how people in Guyana perceive each other, something else or something more needs to be done on how we educate our children and by extension our society about the various cultures which co-exist here.

One may be quick to envisage an upgraded cultural education component within the current social studies curriculum.

The problem with this approach however is that cradling cultural education within the competitive academic environment of our primary and secondary system will very likely take away from the intent of the programme in the first place.

Another problem with the concept of a cultural education system being embedded within the official curriculum is that in Guyana, culture is largely underpinned by religion. Not that a religious-cultural combination is inherently problematic in itself – the great cultures of the world all have a strong and distinct spiritual or theological aspect to them,

which incidentally informs the social. Christian cultural values inform the Western social values, Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma is the foundation for the one billion people in India, while the Islamic influence is strong within the Middle East value system.

In our multicultural society, we have all these religious cultures and while their demographic representation is not equal, representation on each front is very strong. Therefore, to present information on religion-informed cultures within the official curriculum would leave the system open to allegations of proselytizing on all sides. The question would quite reasonably be asked of where exactly would be the dividing line between indoctrination and education.

Cultural education has to take place primarily in the home, with assistance being provided through direct programmes with some institution, perhaps the Ethnic Relations Commission. One other thing parents may be able to do is keep an artifact or two from a religion that isn’t the family faith in

Region 6 fetes elderly folk for Mashramani –RDC Chairman expresses gratitude for contributions of elderly

By Michael Khan FORTY-FIVE senior citizens from across Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne) were treated to a sumptuous lunch in the dining hall of State House in New Amsterdam, Berbice on Friday, as part of the region’s Mashramani Events Committee’s roster of activities.

For the second consecutive year, the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI) collaborated with the Regional Administration to ensure the success of the event.

Regional Chairman, Permaul Armogan, in delivering welcoming remarks at the luncheon, thanked the BBCI for financing the venture, and applauded the company for taking its corporate and civic responsibilities seriously.

“Most of you here were chosen because you have made important contributions to the county and Guyana as a whole. I am happy that you are here, so that we can show our appreciation to you,” he cheerfully remarked.

Armogan pointed out that every society should undertake the role of acknowledging the efforts of senior citizens towards the upward strides that Guyana has made.

“We at the RDC salute you, and the Government of Guyana also recognised

your contribution; which is why today you are enjoying an increase in old age pension, and we will do more to make your lives comfortable,” he informed.

CONTRIBUTION People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) Member of Parliament (MP), Faizal Jaffarally congratulated the Regional Chairman for his initiative in catering for the senior citizens, and lauded the BBCI for lending financial support.

“It is important that we recognise and remember you (the senior citizens) because you have made a significant contribution to our country. The

growth and development of Guyana today are as a result of your contributions, and we are thankful for your input,” he expressed.

Administrative Supervisor of BBCI, Amarnauth Singh, also cheered the Region 6 RDC for its initiative.

He said: “We are happy to support you in this venture because, too often, the senior folks are forgotten.”

Mr. Aaron Budhu and Ms. Eulene Samuels, on behalf of the gathering, then expressed gratitude to the RDC and BBCI for their gesture, and wished them a happy Mashramani.

MP Jaffarally serves the elderly during the luncheon

their homes. These can act as conversation pieces for growing children and reinforce their understanding of other cultures as adults, without compromising the family faith.

Perhaps the mass media can be involved. For example, recently I’ve started watching these African movies which are broadcast on local television. I would like to commend whoever is undertaking to air them, and it’s clear that the agenda behind the airings goes beyond entertainment, because I have been able to learn so much about African culture because of these movies. They have served to enhance my perspective of Africa. As a side note if this comes across as a bit of product placement endorsement for the African movie industry, it isn’t.

Whatever the methods, there needs to be an ongoing effort in Guyana to have young children in particular understand and appreciate the varying cultures that exist in society.

Not that attempts at cultural education haven’t been tried before and don’t continue up to this day. My point though is that the appreciation of other people’s cultures in Guyana– within the cultural education/appreciation paradigm– has to a great degree evolved into token representation or symbolic re-enactment

KEITH BURROWES of events.

So, for example, we learn about African culture every August or about Amerindian culture every September. We learn about Diwali and Eid once a year as well. What we are doing is shoving education about cultures that have individually undergone thousands of years of development and evolution into a day or a week or a month of activity.

Additionally, this education is not progressive; the eventbased nature of our mode of cultural education causes it to be necessarily limited and re-

petitive. The end result is that we really are not learning from the methods of public cultural education.

In closing, I would like to state emphatically that people have to co-exist. You cannot fundamentally change anyone’s culture and you should not seek to. Too often when we engage in cultural discussions, it is within a framework where each side thinks that the other has to accept their view as prerequisite to further engagement. Tolerance is less about accepting, than it is about understanding.

PAINFUL UNCERTAINTIES FOR BARBADOS

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 23, 2014

- guessing game over PM’s options

THE ESTWICK FACTOR

Currently holding the portfolio of Minister of Agriculture—as he

did in Stuart’s first term DLP administration, as well as previously serving as Minister of Health, Estwick has, over the years, acquired a reputation for being loquacious and unpredictable. Nevertheless, to his credit, he has never shied away from articulating alternative policies and initiatives, at times winning applause from sections of the society, across party lines.

Still, there is no known precedent in post-independence governance within CARICOM or anywhere else in the Commonwealth

Dr. DAVID ESTWICK

SIR LLOYD ESRKINE SANDIFORD

for a cabinet minister succeeding in wringing concession from a Head of Government to present a package of alternative policies and strategies for improved fiscal management to steer the country from a deep economic crisis—AFTER parliamentary approval of that budget.

Estwick, after all, had participated in the relevant cabinet meetings, including that of the Finance Committee in approving the 2014 budget prior to its being debated and approved by the nation’s parliament where the government has a slim two-seat majority.

Further, there is the age-old established tradition of “collective cabinet responsibility” rooted in our inherited constitutional democratic governance. And now that he has had his day with permitted permission to present to cabinet his “alternative” policies, there are speculations about his longevity in Prime Minister Stuart’s cabinet, as well as his continuation as a DLP parliamentarian.

Should he choose to sit as an ‘Independent’ or even the cross the floor to the opposition Barbados Labour Party (BLP) the government would have the very tough challenge in maneuvering, for as long as

Ukraine: Yanukovych’s Last Throw?

The stand-off continues as opposition leaders discuss tactics with their colleagues, a day after dozens were shot by police (BBC News photo)

practical, with a one-seat majority, with four years more to go in its current second term.

For Prime Minister Stuart, the unpleasant surprises, the agony coming from within the governing DLP are evidently becoming more politically painful. This past Sunday, for instance, brought a very surprising development from an unexpected source—the former DLP leader and two-term Prime Minister, Sir Lloyd Esrkine Sandiford.

A respected educator and former Minister of Education as well the country’s ambassador to China until last year, Sandiford had faced back in 1991 as Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, a very challenging fiscal management problem. He felt compelled to enforce a very unpopular across-the-board eight percent pay cut for public sector workers.

He was to survive political rule and mass demonstrations organised by trade unions as well as the enormous pressures from the then opposition Barbados Labour Party (BLP).

BLUNT TALK

Having won that battle, and now in virtual political retirement, Sandiford felt constrained at the weekend to decry what he views as lack of leadership by Prime Minister Stuart at a time of spreading social and economic crisis.

He was blunt when addressing a meeting of the DLP’s St Lucy constituency branch, declaring that a Prime Minister should be seen as “being in charge” including assumption of the portfolio of Minister of Finance and giving direct guidance to pull the country out of its deep economic crisis, based on accepted prescriptions from the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—an institution for which Jamaica has reluctantly acquired ‘plenty respect---with plenty reservations!

Even some DLP supporters in Barbados who are not anxious to surrender their party’s control of state power before scheduled general election—still four years away—have expressed surprise over the vehemence with which Sandiford made his angry public intervention with a personal ridicule of Prime Minister Stuart’s leadership.

There may well be much more in the mortar than the proverbial pestle amid multiplying indicators of fading traditional governance in Barbados. The prevailing political status quo cannot be sustained for long. Stay tuned.

WHEN a government announces that it is going to launch an “anti-terror operation” that generally means that it has decided to kill some people. That was what the police said at 6 pm local time Tuesday in Kiev, as they launched their assault on the protesters who have occupied the main square of the Ukrainian capital for eleven weeks–and sure enough, people started to die.

Other people had already died in clashes elsewhere in Kiev on Tuesday, including some policemen, and the more excitable observers have started speculating about the forcible imposition of a police state in Ukraine or even civil war. But the likeliest outcome is that the president will be forced out without a civil war.

President Viktor Yanukovych has not just had a bad two months; he has had a bad three years. He won the 2010 election narrowly but fairly, and ever since he has been trying to straddle the gap between Russia and the European Union. Both Moscow and Brussels have been courting Ukraine with trade-and-aid deals, and neither one was willing to let Yanukovych have it both ways.

Yet if he opted for either one, half the country was going to condemn him, for Ukrainians are split almost fifty-fifty between those (mostly Ukrainian-speakers in the west of the country) who want closer ties with the European Union and those (mostly

Analysis by RICKEY SINGH

WHILE GUYANESE would be caught up today in nation-wide celebrations for Guyana’s 44th anniversary as a constitutional republic-amid continuing economic growth and expanded social services-Barbadians would be struggling to shake off a mood of spreading economic gloom and concerns for social stability.

This is a most unusual post-independence phase for Barbados, the CARICOM partner state which for many years had maintained the enviable reputation as perhaps the best managed economy in the Region and a stable currency with the Barbados dollar at 50 cents to the USD. At present, however, there are passionate political speculations about cabinet changes and even the political survival, in its current formation of the Democratic Labour Party administration of Prime Minister Freundel Stuart, now in the second year of its second fiveyear term.

PRIME MINISTER In the political hot seat as Head FREUNDEL STUART of Government at a period of the nation’s worst economic crisis since independence 48 years ago, Mr. Stuart finds his leadership style under recurring blistering criticisms both from traditional political opponents and now quite openly as well from leading figures of his party and administration.

Just over a week ago, there was the unique political development of a former Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Dr. David Estwick, being permitted—as he had publicly requested—to make a ‘power-point’ presentation with alternative policies and strategies to the already approved 2014 national budget. The budget was followed by a shock announcement by the Finance Minister, Chris Sinckler, that 3,000 public sector workers would be retrenched in batches within the first quarter of the year.

The shifting paradigm of U.S. external dominance in the Syria killings (First published in Modern Diplomacy/International Edition)

SOMEONE could well ask why the Western powers, especially the United States (U.S.), have such vested interests in the Middle East and, indeed, Syria as it bleeds everyday while the world does nothing.

The U.S. today is fairly self-sufficient in meeting its energy needs, so energy consolidation is not a compelling reason for its perennial engagement in Middle Eastern affairs. Perhaps, Goodarzi‘s book Syria and Iran, Diplomatic Alliance and Power Politics in the Middle East (2006) has some aspects of the answer.

Goodarzi argues that the Middle East’s attraction to the superpowers and their constant interference is intricately bound up with the Region’s huge oil reserves and its geopolitical significance, as it really stands at the crossroads between Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. And in my view the U.S. as one of the superpowers cannot thrust its weight and penetrate the crossroads solely through political rhetoric, but through force projection or the preservation of American military hegemony, evidenced through half of a million U.S. troops, spies, contractors on some 737 military bases in 130 countries (Johnson, 2006).

Why then did U.S President Barack Obama back off from

‘Goodarzi argues that the Middle East’s attraction to the superpowers and their constant interference is intricately bound up with the Region’s huge oil reserves and its geopolitical significance, as it really stands at the crossroads between Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.’ his well-publicised military option against Syria? Is his failure to exercise the military option not contradictory to a U.S. policy of global preservation of American military hegemony? Obama won the Presidency in 2008 on a platform that he would be the President of peace and not war. He ended the Iraq war by withdrawing most of the troops, and is about to do the same with Afghanistan, except that he wants a long-term security pact that is not easily forthcoming due to Afghan’s President Hamid Karzai’s reluctance to acquiesce.

And even now with the uneasy relationship between the U.S and Iran, Obama argued for diplomacy as a first resort in talks aimed at dismantling that country’s atomic activities.

And in reversing his position on air strikes against Syria to pursue soft diplomacy, willingly or not, Obama gained Russian President Putin‘s support to pressure Bashar al Assad to remove chemical weapons from Syria. More recently, Obama had a hand in the United Nations’ (U.N.) initiation of peace talks in Geneva between the Syrian Government and the opposition forces.

Nothing came out of the first round, with the second round in progress. But if these talks continue to fail, what would Obama’s next move be, given the tradition of the U.S. military hegemony?

Refer to Obama’s observations in 2012 at the U.S. Holocaust Museum where he said that the U.S. cannot use the military to address every injustice globally, but should resort in the first place to the use of diplomacy, economic, and other methods to save lives (http://www.voanews.com/content/white-housedefends-obama-on-syria-after-mccain-criticism/1850311.html).

The point of this paper is that the U.S. Administration cannot continue to march into other people’s countries and dictate how they should carry on their affairs.

In restraining U.S. military interventions globally compared to other U.S. administrations, Obama has attracted many swipes from U.S. conservative politicians and commentators because for them he has abandoned the spirit and cause of the Beveridge-Truman and Eisenhower doctrines which advocate for U.S. dominance of other nations, that is, promoting imperialism. Obama being wedded more to cultural diplomacy than to military engagements and imperialism pushes him closer to the label of an implementer of an ‘anti-American foreign policy’ in the eyes of many conservative U.S. lawmakers.

And as some U.S. policy makers, unmindful of their passion for imperialism, haggle on the possibility of military adventurism in

Syria, the tragedy in that unfortunate country rages on, where about 130,000 persons were killed in Syria since 2011 (Syrian Observatory for Human Rights - http://syriahr.net/en/). Within the context of mass killings in Syria, U.S. lawmakers may do themselves some good in trying to understand the cultural complexities of Syria and the importance of alliances in the Middle East, specifically relating to the historic alliance between Syria and Iran. In fact, there were 33 different alliances between 1955 and 1979 in the Middle East (Walt, 1990). Before any Western power, including the U.S., starts to railroad Syria with ground and air troops and drones, it should develop

BY DR. PREM MISIR

dialogicdemocracy@aol.com; themisirpost.wordpress.com a sense of what Syria is as a nation; something that ought to be done each time America angles toward military adventurism in the name of peace, freedom, and democracy in any country.

Only in 2012, one year after the bloodshed began, did Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad concede that Syria is in a state of war.

Not surprisingly, the state of war has now become perennial. This

President Bashar al-Assad state of war is a battle between the Bashar al-Assad and the rebels from diverse groups in Syria, and the possibility of a civil war is not improbable. Before making any definitive conclusion on the expectation of some impending civil war, note that Syria has the following diverse religious groups (VOA, December 20, 2012): Sunni Islam (74%); Christians (10-11%); Alawite Islam (9-10%); Druze (3%); Ismaili Islam (1%); Ithna’ashari/Twelver Shi’ite Islam (< 1%). Sectarianism is on the rise while simultaneously there is now a vociferous call for Bashar’s removal from office and the institution of significant political reforms.

Over the last 47 years, Syria has experienced Bathist dictatorial rule that commenced with the February 1966 coup perpetrated by the minority Alawite Arab Nationalist Baath party of which Hafiz al-Assad was associated. The minority Alawite party constituting only about one-eighth of Syria’s population remains in political control over a country predominantly Sunnis. Bashar al-Assad’s father Hafiz al-Assad removed his Alawite partner Salah Jadid in November 1970 to initiate the dominance of the Assads.

Harris (2007) claimed that Hafiz al-Assad made Syria a regional

power at great cost to the Syrians through political desertification, personal fiefdoms for his friends, and an economically-deprived economy; and that also bred inter-religious group resentment. Phillips (2012) provided further insights into the roots of the current uprising, and Hafiz sustained his political power through constructing social and economic inequalities to promote his strategy of divide and rule. For instance, on his accession in 1970, Hafiz had the support of a large cross-section of Sunni Arabs largely working class and peasants who were about 65% of the population as well as the non-Sunni Arab community such as Christians, Druze, and Alawites. He sustained this coalition support base through jobs and subsidies for the poor by expanding state institutions. But he fiercely excluded the Turkish Kurds and the Sunni Arab elite who were part of the governance structure in previous administrations.

Bashar al-Assad inherited his father’s legacy in 2000 with the hope of bettering it, but instead has not performed as a political leader for his country, graduating from rigidity to adventurism (Harris, 2007).

While economic and social conditions did not change much from his father’s era, Bashar al-Assad cemented greater inequalities among the diverse religious groups, ensuring that the favoured minority Alawhite group becomes the largest benefactors of economic gains. According to the World Development Indicators of the World Bank (http://data.worldbank.org/country/syrian-arab-republic), some economic and demographic features in Syria in the year 2010, the year prior to the current conflict, were: Population: 21,532,647 million; GDP in current US dollars: $59,147,033,452; GDP annual growth: 3.2%; GDP per capita in current US dollars: $2,747; life expectancy at birth: 75 years.

Phillips argued that the ills brought on Syria were related to Bashar’s reversal of his father’s socialist policies. In my view not genuine socialist policies, but ‘convenient’ policies that both father and son used to sustain their regime. Consequences of this turnaround include the creation of a liberalised economy, a reduction of subsidies to the poor, increased unemployment, and reduced incomes for those in the state bureaucracy. But those within the corridors of power, mainly Alawites, became enriched more so than in the Hafiz era. And Bashar made no effort at striking a balance between the established Alawite elite and enhancing the declining status of the Sunni Arabs. The upshot was the Sunnis’ inevitable resentment against the corrupt Alawite elite. Indeed, any Western power including the U.S. contemplating an engagement with Syria must also factor the historic Syria-Iran connection. And for about 35 years now, the U.S./Iran relationship has been uneasy.

Ukraine ...

From page 8

Russian-speakers in the east and south) who want stronger links with Russia. Finally, in late November, he came down off the fence and chose Russia.

He did so because Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was offering a massive financial bail-out if he joined Moscow’s new “Eurasian Union”– and threatening to turn off the gas that keeps Ukraine’s economy functioning if he did not. He also did it because his own voters are mostly Russian-speakers in the east. But he didn’t do it happily, because he knew there would be a backlash.

What he didn’t reckon with is the strength and duration of the protests, and the fact that they would expand beyond the simple Brussels-or-Moscow issue to take in the massive corruption that has flourished under his government. (Yanukovych’s son Oleksandr, a dentist by training, has become one of the country’s richest men in just three years.) And now his back is against the wall.

For the first two months of the confrontation, the protests were mostly peaceful, the riot police were kept on a short leash most of the time (although five people were killed), and you would have

taken an even-money bet that Yanukovych could ride it out. Then he made the error of passing severe anti-protest laws, some of the protesters (especially on the nationalist right) started to use violence, and he began to retreat.

Within a week he was repealing his new laws in parliament, and accepting the resignation of his hard-line prime minister. Then he was offering the opposition leaders places in a new cabinet (they refused), and granting amnesty to protesters who faced criminal charges. Then he proposed constitutional reforms that would reduce the power of the president–but on Tuesday he postponed the debate on those reforms in parliament.

That was when the killing started–in front of the parliament, not on “Euromaidan” the main square that the protesters have held since late November– between the right-wing nationalists of Praviy Sektor and a pro-government crowd imported from eastern Ukraine.

The protesters claim that the government infiltrated agents provocateurs into their crowd to start the violence, and the police certainly fought alongside Yanukovych’s supporters in the street battles there. More than a dozen people were killed, including six police, but the fighting in front of parliament was over by mid-afternoon.

It might have stopped there, but Yanukovych decided to use this calamity as an excuse to clear Euromaidan by force, although there had been no fighting there. That was when the police announced that

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 23, 2014 they were launching an “anti-terror operation,” and the main assault began around six in the evening. The death toll by morning was at least twenty-five, and the protesters still hold most of the square.

Even if the current truce collapses and they subsequently lose control of the Euromaidan, they will not give up now. What is happening in Ukraine is no longer a non-violent protest against a particular government policy. It is a revolution in which both sides are starting to see violence as legitimate, and Yanukovych’s problem is that most people in the capital, though they don’t approve of the violence, support the other side.

Yanukovych now has a lot of blood on his hands: if he loses this battle, he will end up in jail or in exile. Protesters are seizing control of city centres in western Ukraine, while his supporters in the east and south are not lifting a finger to help him. And the country’s most powerful oligarch (some would say king-maker), Rinat Akhmetov, has just declared that there are “no circumstances that would justify the use of force against peaceful citizens.”

Yanukovych has run out of options. It is hard to see him staying in office unless he turns Ukraine into a full-scale police state, and it’s not easy to see how he could make that stick. The opposition is probably going to win. Then they’ll have to figure out what they want, apart from an end to Yanukovych.

CALL FOR CONSULTATION WITH REGIONAL PRIVATE SECTOR GROUP

By Sandra Ann Baptiste THE Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce (CAIC) wants regional governments and the CARICOM Secretariat to consult with the organisation on issues affecting the private sector and the Region’s economies.

The organisation has advised CARICOM Secretary General, Irwin la Rocque of its recent reconstitution and has requested a meeting to discuss the role of the CAIC in the integration movement and how it can provide input into regional policies and programmes.

The Region’s heads of government have supported the establishment of a Caribbean Business Council as an avenue for collaboration between the governments and the private sector. The CBC has stalled with legal groundwork to establish it still on-going President of the recentlyresuscitated umbrella private sector organisation, Ramesh Dookhoo, feels CARICOM countries have become complacent are not changing to adapt to the changing international consumer that uses the region’s products and services.

“We need to consolidate our collective efforts to buy Caribbean, we need to invest in each other’s’ countries in areas where there is a competitive advantage. We also need to exploit our food potential to enable us to reduce that huge food bill and to collaborate to take care of the collective Caribbean economy,” the Guyanese business executive told me.

CAIC wants to see a harmonization in standards, currency, employment and skills in CARICOM Member States. ‘We want regular updates from the Region’s governments on steps being taken to accomplish this.”

MORE DIALOGUE NEEDED ON TRADE NEGOTIATIONS The current CAIC leadership wants to have an input in external trade negotiations.

Dookhoo deems “inappropriate” the current situation whereby Caribbean Export Development Agency (CEDA), an inter-governmental organisation, is representing the private sector at trade negotiations.

On the current CARICOM-Canada negotiations on a Trade and Development Agreement, CAIC wants more feedback from governments as most of the information the private sector has is from the Canadian side.

“Various countries have differing degrees of briefings but there are no central briefings going on. Rum dominates the

conversation quite rightly but what about emerging Caribbean Sectors. We would like to know what and who represents these interests,”Dookhoo, a former Chairman of the Guyana Private Sector Commission, commented.

CAIC is also calling for more disbursements with equity from the European Development Fund (EDF), including a simplified system of accessing funds under the CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).

The organisation is alsourging the Region’s governments to demonstrate “political will” to fully implement the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).

Some of the issues outlined by the CAIC President are among those on the agenda

Sandra Ann Baptiste of next month’s Inter-Sessional meeting of CARICOM Heads of Government in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

CARICOM CHAIRMAN WANTS MOVEMENT ON SINGLE MARKET Like the private sector, the current Chairman of CARICOM, St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, wants to see some forward movement on the CSME and external trade negotiations, including with Canada.

Gonsalves is also urging his fellow heads of government to take action on issues related to the Region’s economies including job creation, climate change and citizen security. These are among the 12- point agenda of priority issues which he intends to focus on during his six-month Chairmanship and which he identified in a letter last month to the CARICOM Secretary General.

In a recent conversation with Gonsalves, he told me he is looking forward at next month’s meeting to receiving updates on the work of the CARICOM Commission on the Economy, which was mandated to address priority areas for

fiscal sustainability, resource mobilisationas well as critical economic infrastructure services, particularly energy and ICT (Information Communication Technology).

In 2014, Gonsalves also wants his colleague CARICOM leaders address and take action on energy access, cost and reliability, follow up on the denationalisation of persons of Haitian descent in The Dominican Republic, which CARICOM has denounced, and facilitate improved relations between Cuba and the U.S. REGIONAL TRANSPORTATIONS ISSUES Gonsalves, who has lead responsibility for transportation issues, said he is keen on seeing speedy action on issues in this area and noted that that the revamped CARICOM Multilateral Air Services Agreement is ready for signature.

Following the recent meeting of the Regional Transportation Commission, it was disclosed thatGovernment owned air carriers in the Region have identified the procurement of equipment, training of personnel, scheduling of flights, and maintenance of aircraft as some of the areas where cooperation is possible.

Gonsalves believes the key to the problems affecting LIAT is for more governments to become shareholders. Dominica recently joined Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados and St Vincent and the Grenadines as a shareholder. Gonsalves is still trying to persuade the St. Lucia government to go this route.

The Vincentian leader suggests that to improve efficiency and lower costs, Eastern Caribbean countries should have one large management company manage all the airports in the Sub-Region.

Against the backdrop of the calls by the Region’s hospitality industry for governments to reduce taxes on the industry, Gonsalves said governments have to collect revenue to upgrade airports and other tourism-related infrastructure.He contends that new private sector investment is critical for improving and expanding both sea and air transportationand governments can help private investors by offering them concessions similar to what obtains in Kingstown.

Ferries registered and operating in St. Vincent and The Grenadines are imported taxfree, pay no tax on their earnings, and there is no value-added tax on the service.

When Gonsalves meets with his CARICOM colleagues, his call for “a reasoned debate”, led

by CARICOM political and civ-

ic leadership, on the legislation of marijuana will face opposition from Guyana and Jamaica and likely other CARICOM countries. Guyana’s Minister of Home Affairs,Clement Rohee has reaffirmed his Govern-

those that suffered millions of dollars in damage and loss of life from recent floods.

ment’s zero-tolerance policy on all drugs that are deemed illicit, including marijuana, while Jamaica’s Foreign Affairs Minister, A.J. Nicholson has stated that this was “definitely out of the question “at this time.

Climate Change effects on the economies of CARICOM Member States is understandably a subject which the Vincentian leader wants to see treated with some urgency. St. Vincent and The Grenadines was among

and for the Caricom Climate Change Centre in Belize to play a bigger role.

The CARICOM Chairman regards 2013 as a year of “incremental progress” for the regional integration movement.

He feels too much emphasis is being placed on the role of CARICOM “Change Drivers”, and stressed that these appointments should not be “a substitute for political leadership”.

MORE ACTION NEEDED ON FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT Gonsalves wants to see Member States meet their responsibilities to facilitate the freedom of movement of CARICOM nationals as outlined in the ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in the case of Jamaican Shanique Myrie against Barbados. Myrie reported that she was subjected by Barbadian immigration officials to a body-cavity search in unsanitary and demeaning conditions before being detained and deported the next day to Jamaica.

The CARICOM Chairman feels more needs to be done to ensure that immigration officers across the Region uphold the law, including on-going training and sensitisingso that theyimplement governments’ policies and don’t do their own thing.

Gonsalves, who has previously in this column, called for the Trinidad and Tobago government to be more engaged in CARICOM, told me he has seen a “greater sensitivity to the Region” by the Kamla Persad-Bissessar administration.

Gonsalves said theTrinidadian government’sinput at CARICOM Summits and reaction to natural disasters is evidence of a “better spirit” displayed by the twin-island republic.(Sandra Ann Baptiste is a Business Consultant and Specialist in Caribbean Affairs)

Missing female taxi driver found murdered AN investigation has been launched into the suspected rape and murder of 33-year-old Savatri Gangadeen, a female taxi driver of Soesdyke, East Bank of Demerara. The Guyana Chronicle was able to confirm that the woman’s body was discovered in a clump of bushes two miles from where her vehicle was found at the back of a resort on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway. The woman’s sister told the media that her sister left her Soesdyke home around 20:30 hrs on Saturday night, informing her that she was going to drop two persons at a loam pit in Timehri, and took her son along with her for the ride. In the ongoing investigations, the police so far have held a suspect for questioning. This newspaper understands that the man is not related to the woman, but may have been one of the two persons who hired her for the late-night work.

Three accused in septic tank murder case committed for High Court trial RALPH “Nick” Tyndall, 27, of Lot 31 ‘C’ Field Sophia; Anthony De Paul Hope, called “Papa,” 26, of Lot 55 William Street, Kitty; and Kevin O’Neil, 26, of Seaforth Street, Campbellville, accused of murdering Colleen Forrester on December 27, 2008 at William Street, Campbellville, Georgetown and dumping her body in a septic tank, were again committed to stand trial in the High Court after conclusion of their second Preliminary Inquiry (PI). The first preliminary inquiry conducted before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton had resulted in the three being committed to stand trial at the High Court. The case was quashed by Justice Diana Insanally on October 28, 2013, and a new PI was ordered. The judge, having listened to the submissions in the absence of the jury, told them afterwards that she was satisfied that the case was not properly brought, and would have to be sent back to the magistrate. The second PI was conducted before Magistrate Judy Latchman, and 13 witnesses were called by the prosecution to testify.

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

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

Ambassador Diaz explained that American support is being offered to Opposition elements through funding and training of youth organisations and civil society to “practice acts of violence” and create chaos with the aim of overthrowing the democratically elected Government of Venezuela. She said a coup is unlikely to succeed because the current administration has the backing of the majority of Venezuelans.

CDB hails Guyana’s ‘responsible’ fiscal reforms

Teenager perishes as boat sinks in riverine interior

THE Barbados-based financial institution, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), projects that Guyana, along with Suriname and Haiti, will take the lead among the regional economies, in terms of accelerating growth in the next two years.

This is according to the CDB’s President, Dr William Warren Smith, during the bank’s annual press conference at its headquarters in Barbados. The bank has projected that the Caribbean Region will, in 2014, experience an overall growth of 3.7 per cent, with much of Guyana’s growth being driven by its mining sector.

“Guyana is a good example of a country that has done some of the right things, and at the same time has also benefitted from good fortune. They have come a very, very long distance in terms of their fiscal situation. They have been responsible in terms of addressing it,” Dr Smith said.

EIGHTEEN-year-old Hassani David of 257 Section ‘C’, South Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown perished when the boat in which he was travelling sank in a river in Guyana’s interior. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle at her Turkeyen home, David’s mother, Natasha David, said she had last seen her son three months ago, when he left to go and work in the interior with someone known to the family.

The woman said her son had been interested in joining the Guyana Police Force, but had a change of heart and decided to work in the mining industry, expressing more interest in operating an excavator than in being a policeman.

Guyana joins regional battle against mosquito-borne disease, chikungunya GUYANA has joined a regional battle against chikungunya, a mosquito-borne disease, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Shamdeo Persaud said. While there have been no reported cases in Guyana, he said authorities would be waging a war against mosquitoes and be on the alert for persons complaining of symptoms. “The ministry is coordinating with all stakeholders both locally and regionally to ensure that coordinated efforts are implemented to prevent and mitigate the effects of chikungunya on the Guyanese population.

Heightened efforts will concentrate on vector control, epidemiology and surveillance, laboratory detection of cases as well as the clinical management of cases,” Dr Persaud is quoted as saying in a statement released by the Ministry of Health. The chief medical officer explained that the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, which transmits dengue, also transmits chikungunya. He said there is no vaccine or treatment for chikungunya. “We do emphasise the need for the public to recognise that their role is pivotal for the prevention and control of chikungunya,” he added.

Attorney General foresees Family Court opening ‘very soon’ WORK is reportedly moving apace over at the proposed Family Court, and according to Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr Anil Nandlall, by the look of things, there could be an official opening “very soon.” Responding to a recent query from A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament, Mr

Basil Williams, as to the latest developments with the court, Mr. Nandlall told the House that as things stand, the furnishings are currently being installed. He went on to explain that this court will be like no other here in Guyana, in that it will boast some rather unique features, such as said furnishings.

That said, he added that he anticipates that there will be an official opening very soon, though this decision rests with the judicial administration.

With an important prerequisite for the operationalising of the court being the drafting of the Family Court rules, Mr Nandlall told the House that this has already been done and has been sent to the Clerk of the National Assembly to be gazetted, as is the formality.

Convicted robber pelts reporters on way to prison TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD mason Wendell Austin, of Lot 134 Canterbury Walk, Beterverwagting, East Coast of Demerara, was sentenced to 56 months imprisonment by Magistrate Judy Latchman, for robbery under arms. He had initially pleaded not guilty to the charge that said, on Saturday, January 4, at Longden Street, Georgetown, being in company of others and armed with a knife, he robbed Kishan Persaud of one Toshiba laptop computer, one Blackberry Bold cellular phone, one silver band and ring and $15,000 cash, together valued $216,000.

Magistrate Latchman informed the convict that, having considered the seriousness and prevalence of the offence in today’s society and the organised manner in which the crime was committed and the fact that a weapon was used, he must serve that sentence. With his hands cuffed in front of him, he bent down and picked up a piece of wood and pelted in the direction of members of the media. Fortunately, the reporters who were standing approximately 10 feet away from the prisoner, managed to dodge the object.

PUC addressing consumer’s complaint of Digicel’s unfair, deceptive practices

By Ravin Singh THE Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is currently addressing a complaint filed by Mr. Leonard Craig, a customer, against mobile service provider U-Mobile (Cellular) Inc., trading as Digicel.

Mr. Craig, who claims to have exhausted all his options for a direct resolution of the matter, has now sought intervention of the PUC. In his complaint, Craig claims: “Whenever I make calls to another Digicel number, if the called party does not answer, is on the phone or for any other reason does not take the call, I am routed to a voice prompt for which I am charged G$1.20 or more on every occasion. This voice prompt is merely a notice that the called party is not available, or that my call is about to be transferred to a Voice Mail (VM) service.”

He described the practice by the cellular service provider as patently unfair and deceptive, and is calculated to bring the service provider profit by cheating customers. He added: “This practice is in breach of the high standards of fair business practices in the industry. It is not standard for service providers around the world to charge its customers for voice prompts. To do so is nothing short of corporate rip-off. Instead, customers should begin to be charged whenever the switch to a VM service actually takes place.”

Craig is seeking compensation in excess of G$60,000 for thousands of calls unfairly terminated via voice prompt notices; cost for time and effort invested and expenses incurred in making this challenge; and legal or other costs that may be associated with appearing before the Commission to present his case.

In the company’s defence, CEO of Digicel Guyana, Mr. Gregory Dean noted that Digicel adopted a standard voicemail protocol as adopted by networks worldwide, and “after circa twenty seconds of an unanswered call, it defaults to the voicemail system if the called party has one set up.

“The prompt which Mr. Craig refers to is indeed part of the voicemail system, and this setting is no different to what obtains if a person calls a fixed line and the called party has an answering machine,” Dean contended.

He charged the PUC to dismiss what he described as a rather frivolous complaint, since, as it is, Digicel is using what is common practice adopted throughout the telecommunications world.

However, at the public hearing on Friday the issue was far from over. With the complainant not even given a fair chance to speak, attorney-at-law, Mr. Stephen Fraser dominated the forum and claimed that the company has not been pointed to the provision in the Complainant, Mr. Leonard Craig Public Utilities Commission Act to which the company (Digicel) is to respond.

He said the complaint presented against Digicel should also be showered upon other telecommunication services, since it is a practice that has been adopted not only by Digicel. He iterated that if Digicel is to be brought before the Commission for that particular issue, so should the other telecommunication service providers.

PUC Chairman, Justice (rtd.) Prem Persaud, C.C.H., in his quest to address the issue, was forced to reschedule the hearing to Friday February 28 at Cara Lodge. The Commission will hear evidence from the complainant, Digicel, and any group or member of the public who may wish to appear and be heard on this matter.

The other telecommunication networks will also play an integral role in bringing a resolution to the problem.

Georgetown schools celebrate Culture Day

By Ravin Singh

SCHOOLS across Georgetown celebrated Friday as Culture Day. As usual, annually, it is the last school day before Mashramani. As such, this year saw an unlimited scope of creativity illuminating the cultural aspect of their environments.

This newspaper was able to capture a few of the memorable moments at a few locations.

Headmistress of St. Margaret’s Primary, Ms. Georgeania Lewis, proudly disclosed that apart from the cultural dress,

there were also cultural foods and a cultural presentation done to enlighten the children on what the different ethnic groups brought to Guyana.

She added, too, that the motive of this initiative was to give the children a sense of identity and promote an environment where they all appreciate each other’s cultural background.

Echoing her sentiments was Headmistress of St. Rose’s High School, who said, they, too, like St. Margaret’s, engaged in a cultural programme.

The morning events includ-

ed a display of food and clothing, followed in the afternoon by games and a garden party is scheduled for tomorrow.

Dolphin Community High School that seemed not to have much happening did, however, have a lot planned. The headmistress was eager to make the public aware of the internal celebrations, with each level focusing on a different ethnic group.

They were able to execute a full presentation of every aspect of the various groups.

Earlier in the day, the school participated in a flagraising ceremony followed by a parade around the premises.

Children’s road show sets Region 2 on fire for Mash celebration

By Rajendra Prabhulall

THE Children's Costume Parade and Road March, organised by the Department of Education in collaboration with the Region 2 (Pomeroon/Supenaam) administration on Friday, attracted hundreds of children drawn from nursery, primary and secondary schools across the Essequibo coast.

It electrified the Town of Anna Regina, and stoked into a raging inferno the fires of enthusiasm that were evident in the commercial centre. Mashramani celebrations are in full swing today!

All excited with their Mash costumes and resplendent clothing, children proudly displayed the colours of the Golden Arrowhead as they gathered with their teachers at the Three Friends Bridge in the south of the coast, and danced along the public road to music blaring from huge speaker boxes mounted on canter lorries and trailers,

as the procession slowly wended its way to the community centre ground at Anna Regina.

At Anna Regina the high bridge was overcrowded with people of all ages as everyone tried to view the colourful road show from a good vantage point.

The public road was transformed into a veritable carnival as students danced enthusiastically and competed with each other for top positions, while hundreds of residents lined the public road to witness the happenings as Guyana celebrated its forty-fourth Republic anniversary in real festive style.

Region 2 Chairman Mr. Parmanand Persaud, accompanied by Assistant Regional Executive Officer, Ms. Yvette Tafares-Hastings also joined the colourful road show and celebrated Mash with the children.

At the end of the show, prizes were given for the most uni-

formed band, the largest contingent and the best costume band.

Best costume band in the nursery category went to Anna Regina Nursery; with Reliance Nursery placing second, and Abram Zuil third; while the most uniformed band for nursery schools went to Reliance Nursery.

Fisher Primary School of Golden Fleece Village was adjudged the winner of the most uniformed band, and Cotton Field Secondary walked away with the first prize in the secondary category.

In the largest contingent band category, Charity Nursery, Sparta Primary and Anna Regina Multilateral were the respective winners; while the winners of the best costume band in the primary category were Sparta first and second, and Lima Sands third.

In the secondary category for the best costume band, Abram Zuil Secondary walked away with the first prize, Cotton Field copped the second prize, and 8th of May third.

Become part of the exciting task of nation building-PPP

THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) extends Mashramani greetings to all Guyanese on the occasion of 44 years of Republican status.

Mashramani is an Amerindian word which means celebration after a hard day’s work. As Guyanese we have every reason to celebrate. We have worked hard to overcome the numerous challenges that stood in our way. The Guyana we live in today is vastly different from the Guyana which obtained during the time of independence and the attainment of Republican status.

Indeed, it would be an understatement to say that the country has made progress since the granting of Republican status. What we are celebrating today is a new Guyana in which there is democratic rule, respect for the rule of law, an independent judiciary, economic and social justice and cultural pluralism.

The PPP is proud of the fact that it has been successful in laying the foundations for the flourishing of the artistic and creative potential of the Guyanese society in a manner few multi-ethnic societies

have managed to do. In this regard, all Guyanese should take pride in the cultural fabric that has been woven over the years by our individual and collective efforts.

The PPP wishes to take this opportunity to call on all Guyanese to put aside whatever differences they may have and become a part of this exciting task of nation building. The Party is convinced that there is room for each and every Guyanese to contribute to the national good regardless of ethnic or political affiliation.

Let us use this occasion to reflect on the difficult road we have traversed over the decades and the challenges that are before us as we strive to build a peaceful, progressive and prosperous society in which we can all be proud of.

The PPP salutes all Guyanese on this significant milestone and extends a special welcome to all those overseas Guyanese who have graced the occasion by their presence in Guyana at this time.

A happy Mashramani to one and all! ………………………………………

Mashramani Messages Mashramani a time for reflection-PNCR

THE People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) is pleased to extend greetings and good wishes to all of the people of Guyana as we celebrate the 44th Anniversary of our Republican status.

The anniversary of the Republic, apart from the national celebration of Mashramani, is an occasion for reflection and assessment of the state of our nation, 44 years after Guyana was declared a Republic. In that regard, it must be evident to all that we, as Guyanese, need to undertake a frank and honest evaluation of whether our nation is headed in the direction that would bring us all, particularly our young people, progress and prosperity.

Our Party has joined our partners in APNU to declare and dedicate our energies to making 2014 the Year for Workers.

However, we are conscious that, as a nation, we are challenged to remove the threats posed by the scourge of criminality and violence; corruption; the continued lawlessness in high places; the intolerance of views, other than those expressed by the Administration; all of which contribute to infusing a sense of despair and the feeling of hopelessness that is currently afflicting the young people of this nation.

Accordingly, the PNCR wishes all of the Guyanese people a Happy Republic holiday, and a joyous celebration of Mashramani, as we pray that the spirit of peace, love and unity will dwell among us on the 44th Anniversary of our Republic.

Becoming a Republic represented final step to full independence-PYO

FEBRUARY 23, 2014 marks forty-four (44) years since Guyana’s attainment of Republican status. Becoming a Republic represented the final step in our nation’s journey to full independence and nationhood.

This is a very significant achievement in our history as it meant that our Head of State is no longer a representative of the British Monarch but instead is an elected citizen of Guyana. That is, supreme power is now vested in the people of Guyana and is exercised at free elections.

On February 23, 1970, Dr Jagan, while addressing the National Assembly noted that, “our beloved country is retrogressing instead of progressing. All that independence and republicanism stand for are being violated in Guyana.” Reflecting on the post 2011 operations of the legislative arm of Government, one gets the feeling that the meaning of being a Republic is once more being violated. We have witnessed many instances where our unalienable rights as a republic have been violated by legislative infringements. The lack of cooperation that currently exists, that allowed the political opposition to reject many transformation projects in Guyana, is once again leading to that retrogression that Dr Jagan spoke of 44 years ago.

We wish to call on the opposition political parties to work together with our Government in peace, dignity and harmony for the good of the Guyanese nation. Acting otherwise is a total disregard for the struggles of our leaders who courageously fought for our freedom.

As we engage in cultural folklore at age 44, the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) wishes to extend Masharami greetings to ALL GUYANA.

Sandvoort Village gets Community Library - parents implored to let children read and do research

By Michael Khan RESIDENTS of Sandvoort Village, West Canje, Berbice are proud to have been considered for, and grateful to have received, a library which was commissioned in the community last Monday.

The idea to establish a Community Library was fostered by former Headmaster of the Sandvoort Primary School, Mr. Madoda Alfred, with help of villagers, and was put forward to the United States Peace Corps, which has volunteers working at the institution.

Matthew Cusimano, a volunteer at the school, told the Guyana Chronicle that although Sandvoort Village is not in a town or hinterland, it happens to be in an in-between area that is not often thought about, and the establishment of a library there is testimony that such projects can be executed anywhere in Guyana.

"My involvement was more of a liaison between resources in Georgetown and here in this village.

There was a lot of communication on my part with personnel in the capital city, and to bring resources out to Region 6. We know that a lot of assistance can be had from outside of Berbice, and my job was to re-educate my superiors in Georgetown as to what is happening in this county," he informed.

The cost of the project is US$5,750., but the value of the venture is US$70,000., according to Cusimano.

"Because so many people in this village came out to support this project in terms of painting, cleaning, donating and shipment of materials, we need to take those factors into account…it comes out to US$70,000 in value," he stressed.

The library is equipped with three computers, printers, and Internet access, which will assist in researching.

IMPORTANT TO READ Literacy Officer attached to the Region 6 Department of Education, Simone Dainty, reminded Sandvoort residents of the importance of reading, and noted that the library was established to enable better academic performance among the students in the village.

Mashramani Messages

Let us celebrate in the true spirit of Mashramani-AFC THE Alliance For Change (AFC joins with all Guyanese in observing our 44th Republic Anniversary. It has been a year of hard work and in the true spirit of ‘Mashramani’ let us celebrate!

But even as we celebrate, let us be reminded that this Republic Anniversary comes at a time when we find ourselves struggling to preserve one of our symbols of nationhood, and some may argue our most important – our Constitution. This Supreme Law, which sets out our identity as a nation and as a people is under threat.

Sections of this national charter are today being subjugated by leaders’ intent on imposing partisan party doctrines above the Articles of our Constitution and in the process undermining the democratic progress we have made over the years.

Through strong and continuous advocacy we have seen the Office of the Ombudsman being filled.

Many other Constitutional Offices remain either vacant or filled by persons in an acting capacity. This is against both the dictate and spirit of our Constitution and must not be allowed to continue.

The Alliance For Change is committed to upholding the rule of law starting with our Constitution and calls on all Guyanese to lift their voices for the promotion and protection of this - the Supreme Law of our Country.

Let this be our resolve as a nation as we enter another year as a Republic and recommit to forging a democracy that offers all citizen of Guyana a place we are proud to call home.

Happy Mashramani Guyana! **************************************************************

GAWU’s urges sober reflection and wise, peaceful counsel THE start and run-up to the culmination of the Mashramani “Season” sometimes tend to submerge the main event which is really the annual observances of Guyana’s Republican status.

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) has nothing against the fun, frolic and creativity surrounding the Mashramani component of this national anniversary.

However, as a major representative of the country’s labour movement and the bargaining agent for thousands of workers from various vital sectors of the economy, GAWU is obliged to attempt to assess just what 44 years as a Republic has delivered for the working-class.

Workers, especially the humble, hardworking labourers, factory-workers, agricultural harvesters, heavy duty drivers, the hundreds of ladies in the sea-food and the commercial sectors, among others, represent the base and foundation of any economy. GAWU will never disrespect the role of academics, teachers, nurses, lawyers, architects, engineers and other professionals. All are needed to manifest levels of production largely left to the toils of the lower levels. Obviously there must be collaboration at all levels for productivity and economic progress to be sustained.

Guyana’s two major political parties provided the governments between the Republic Year of 1970 to 1992, twenty-two years; then 1992 to the present, another twenty-two years. What then has been the socio-economic legacy after the past forty-four (44) years?

To be fair the PPP/C governments have provided an enabling environment through worker-friendly legislation, for effective worker representation. Whether today’s trade unions are properly organised, structured and funded to be effective is another story. From GAWU’s perspective the most negative occurrence in the recent history of the Republic is the real, clear and present danger to Guyana’s sugar industry which employs thousands of our members. The blame game can never restore the fortunes of this life line economic industry. A revamped GuySuCo board and management skill sets; motivation for harvesters and factory workers to return to the fields and ancillary projects, among other things, all must combine to bring sugar back.

Elsewhere in the Republic, GAWU sees the need for political dialogue at the highest levels to resolve differences affecting the productive management of the state, its resources and governance. Selfish “victories” should not prevent brilliant minds from both sides of the aisle, to bargain agreements to overcome parliamentary, budgetary, legislative or even judicial challenges. The 2011 electorate expects nothing less from our parliamentary legislators and political representatives.

GAWU, therefore, urges sober reflection and wise, peaceful counsel amongst all citizens during and after the joyous celebration of Republic Day 2014.

"It is (very) important for you to make full use of your community library and to ensure that your children occupy their time meaningfully by reading relevant materials that (would) improve their learning skills," she advised.

The Community Library is located at the bottom flat of the Sandvoort Primary School, which currently has thirty students and four members of staff, including Headmistress Ms. Raylene Whyte, who was very instrumental in making the project a reality, through her support and technical guidance.

15-10.

Going into the third and final set, both players seemed eager to win but a tiring Pollard made some unforced errors early in the set, allowing Khalil to get the upper hand and rally on to a comfortable 15-10 victory.

The third-place playoff was won by Lloyd Fung-Afat who lost his semi-final match against Khalil 12-15, 13-15.

Pollard had defeated Nicholas Narain 15-5, 1510 to book his place in the final.

In the `A’ category, Makeda Harding came out on top with Jonathan Edwards and Savannah Mendes placing second and third respectively.

Harding defeated Madison Fernandes 1512, 15-13 to reach the final of the category `A’ competition, while Edwards beat Mendes 15-12, 15-8 to reach the final.

In the open Plate competition, Ashley DeGroot won from Alexander Cheeks.

In the Category `A’ Plate, John Phang won ahead of Sarah Lewis and Michael Alphonso respectively.

Treasurer of the Guyana Squash Association, Garfield Wiltshire, who chaired the proceedings thanked Bounty Farm and Digicel for sponsoring the tournament. He also thanked Tiffany Solomon, Narain and Ben Mekdeci for assisting in organising the tournament.

Assistant Manager of Bounty Farm Limited and president of the Guyana Squash Association David Fernandes, in a brief address, said his company is committed to sponsoring the tournament once again next yea.

He said it is his hope that next year the tournament would be bigger and better.

The presentation of prizes to the respective winners was done by Bounty Farm’s Managing Director Philip Fernandes.

Estwick places onus on Windies ... from back page Estwick said Australia were not as strong a side as in the past and was confident West Indies would be able to hold their own. “Watching the scores, the games they played and such, they’re not playing spin as well as other Australian teams so once we focus on this as well as our game, and we concentrate on keeping our discipline, we’ll do well,” he said.

Australia lost to Afghanistan, were beaten by Zimbabwe and Pakistan in the warm-ups and before that came to the tournament on the back of a difficult tour of Sri Lanka.

Having played their first game in Dubai, Estwick counted on the advantage of familiar conditions to challenge Australia, who are yet to play at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

“It was colder in RODDY ESTWICK the ‘earlies’ but now it’s getting hotter and pitches are moving from green to drier,” he said.

“Balls are moving around more too and this showed when we played Canada at Abu Dhabi.

We have adjusted to the heat and also in case the pitch loses liveliness.” (ESPN Cricinfo)

Amla, Morkel put South Africa in charge

By Nick Said (REUTERS) - Hashim Amla’s blistering stroke-play and Morne Morkel’s fearsome bowling put South Africa in control of the second

Teat against Australia as they closed the third day on 192 for four yesterday.

The Proteas, led by 369 runs with six second-innings wickets remaining and two days to go, on a ground where the highest

score chased down for victory was 271 by Australia in 1997.

Amla will resume on 93 not out with 21-year-old debutant Quinton de Kock on nine.

Amla’s positive stroke-play against all the Australian bowl-

ers helped South Africa score at more than four runs an over and accelerated the game forward after a slow first two days.

Australia did make inroads into the top order, Graeme Smith (14) failing

proved the catalyst for a sizeable South African lead as his fiery bowling helped restrict Australia to 246 in their first innings.

Having resumed on 112 for four, Australia battled to contain

Hashim Amla’s unbeaten 93 helps South Africa extend their lead beyond 350 against Australia on the third day in Port Elizabeth. again after being bowled by Mitchell Johnson off the inside edge. Johnson also accounted for AB de Villiers (29).

Peter Siddle weighed in with two wickets, Dean Elgar (16) and Faf du Plessis (24), both caught behind by Brad Haddin.

“Credit where it is due, they bowled very well,” Australia captain Michael Clarke told reporters. “Our top order did not perform the way we would have liked. The wicket had deteriorated a bit so we are going to have to bat our backsides off in the second innings.

“I still think we can win, it will be an uphill battle and it will be determined by how much we need to chase. I would have put us in for five overs tonight if it was we in that situation.”

FIERY BOWLING Fast bowler Morkel

a rampant Morkel, who landed a number of sickening blows to the body, including one into the side of the helmet of Johnson.

Morkel claimed three wickets in the innings, but his two spells of fearsome shortpitched deliveries had the Australian hopping around the crease.

David Warner was the top scorer for the tourists with 70, but as he looked to score at the opposite end to Morkel he edged Philander to Smith at first slip.

Steve Smith made 49 before he was controversially given out on review by TV umpire Aleem Dar, caught by de Villiers off Morkel.

There seemed little evidence to overturn the not-out verdict from on-field umpire Richard Illingworth.

Johnson made a brisk 27 but his blow to the head appeared to unsettle him and shortly afterwards he played all around a delivery from spinner JP Duminy and was bowled.

Ryan Harris (26) and Siddle (11 not out) put on 37 for the final wicket before the former edged Morkel to du Plessis at second slip.

“I knew it would not be easy on this wicket, so keys for me were aggression and working on the right lengths,” Morkel said.

“I am not a big swinger of the ball, my strength is to get bounce and that means I sometimes think I bowl for just one dismissal, caught behind. But here because the ball keeps lower it brings more dismissals into play for me.”

Australia won the first Test of the three-match series by 281 runs in Pretoria.

England set up semi-final showdown with Pakistan in ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2014 1998 CHAMPIONS England earned a semi-final date with two-time former winners Pakistan when they held their nerves to beat defending champions India by three wickets in the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2014 yesterday.

In front of Star Sports cameras at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, England overhauled India’s 221 for eight with five balls and three wickets to spare, but not before they required 15 off the last two overs and then eight runs off the final seven deliveries.

Man-of-the-match Ben Duckett scored 61 off 64 balls with seven fours, wicketkeeper-batsman Joe Clarke chipped in with 42 off 45 balls with six fours and Rob Jones contributed 28 not out, after England had slipped to 41 for three and then 148 for six after having recovered to 117 for three in their run-chase.

Duckett added 76 runs for the fourth wicket with Ed Barnard (24).

Earlier, fast bowler Matthew Fisher took three wickets as India were reduced to 24 for four in 8.1 overs before Deepak Hooda, Sarfaraz Khan and Vijay Zol helped them to 221 for eight.

Hooda and Vijay, who were both dropped every early in their innings, added 87 runs for the fourth wicket. Hooda, who was finally run-out, hit six fours in a 99-ball innings while Zol hit three fours in an 85-ball innings.

However, it was a 46-ball cameo by Sarfaraz that got India to 221 for eight. Sarfaraz hit four fours in a 52 not out. It was Sarfaraz’s intelligent stroke-play that allowed India to score 74 runs in the last 10 overs, including 44 off the final five overs.

A delighted England captain Will Rhodes congratulated his side for the victory. “It was a very good all-round performance and all the players deserve praise and appreciation.

“We got a few of India’s big players out early and you always start to feel confident when that happens. And then when you’ve only got to chase 220 odd, you start to believe further that you have a chance.

“India played a great game today and it is good tough preparation for the next game against Pakistan, which will also be a tough game for us. We’re looking forward to it and we’re going to enjoy it,” said Rhodes.

A disappointed India captain Zol, who was part of the side that lifted the trophy in Townsville in 2012, said: “I thought we did really well to come back from 24 for four but we were still short by a few runs. We bowled really well on this surface where it wasn’t happening a lot. Our bowlers bowled well and were well backed by the fielders.

“It is obviously disappointing to lose the match but I think we fought till the very end. I don’t think it was a wrong decision to

bat first but credit must be given to England bowlers who exploited the conditions and bowled well.”

At their happy hunting ground, Pakistan produced a clinical performance to defeat Sri Lanka by 121 runs after captain Sami Aslam and Imam-ul-Haq produced their third opening wicket century partnership in four matches.

Sami scored 95 (121 balls, 8x4, 2x6) and Imam contributed 82 (107b, 7x4, 1x6) as the two left-handers put on 177 runs for the first wicket in 37 overs. It was Sami’s third half-century in four matches, which has taken his tournament tally of runs to 224, while Imam got his third half-century besides a century to strengthen his position at the top of leading run-getters with 342 runs.

Man-of-the-match Ben Duckett scores 61 off 64 balls for England.

Kamran Ghulam then belted four fours and two sixes in a 44-ball 52 as Pakistan scored 279 for nine in 50 overs.

In turn, Zia-ul-Haq destroyed the stumps behind an in-form Hashan Dumindu on the very first ball as Sri Lanka were soon reduced to 44 for three.

However, Priyamal Perera (68) and Sadeera Samarawichrama (51) added 59 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter departed.

That opened all floodgates as Sri Lanka crashed out for 158 in 42.3 overs.

Reflecting on his side’s victory, Sami said: “We’ve been playing here in the UAE for quite some time. We played here for about two months before coming to the U-19 Cricket World Cup, so I think we are very comfortable with the conditions, and we are gaining confidence at the right time.

“We’ve won this match by a great margin, which will be good going into the semifinals. We have played against England a lot, so we know each other quite well. It’s going to be an exciting match.”

Slingerz FC Stag Beer/West Side football

Den Amstel hammer Eagles 6-1; Pouderoyen edge Young Achievers 2-1 in extra time DEN Amstel and Pouderoyen football clubs have booked their semifinal spots in this year ’s Slingerz Football Club-organised Stag Beer/ West Side Mashramani Champions Cup, which kicked off last Friday at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground.

Watched by an almost full house at the West Demerara facility, Den Amstel, last year’s runners-up, crushed Eagles 6-1 in the second game of the night’s double-header. In the opening game, Pouderoyen FC sealed a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Young Achievers in extra time.

Delon Lanferman (25th, 60th) and Jeffrey Pereira (4th, 46th) netted for Den Amstel who led 5-1 at halftime.

Travis Hilliman (12th) and Andrae Hector (14th) rounded off the scorers for the eventual victors while Eagles’ lone goal came from Jain Williams who had scored in the 5th minute

to level the scores at 1-1 after Pereira’s opening goal.

However, Den Amstel will have to finish the tournament and probably the rest of the football season without their animated goalkeeper Sherwyn Lanferman who suffered a broken leg when he collided with his teammate.

Meanwhile, the Pouderoyen/Young Achievers clash set the tone of the night when the two teams, with a statement to make on the ‘West Side’, met head-to-head.

They, however, ended a scoreless first half with no one really creating any real opportunity. Hence fans were certain that the game would have had a thrilling climax.

Nathan Allicock fired home a thunderous right-footed shot from a set piece just on top of the 18-yard area in the 59th minute and his side celebrated as if they had already won the game.

Pouderoyen, nonetheless,

Part of the action between Pouderoyen and Young Achievers. Pouderoyen win 2-1 in extra time never seemed out of the contest and maintained composure; countering on every chance given and their relentless effort paid off in the 70th minute.

Delon Josiah was able to collect a pass while breaking away on the right wing and thanks to some clumsy defend-

ing and poor goal-keeping by Young Achievers, the player was able to calmly tuck a well-placed ball at the back of the net.

Apart from the two goals, the match never really had a bright moment but it took literally, the last second to decide a winner.

Regulation time had gone

and the two sides were in a heated battle in extra time when Phillip Moore’s header hailed him as the hero of the night and ensured that the resurging Pouderoyen team booked a place in the semi-finals against Den Amstel.

The tournament continues tomorrow at the Uitvlugt Com-

munity Centre ground when defending champions and tournament hosts Slingerz FC clash with Bagotville in the opening game of a planned double-header from 18:00hrs.

Game two brings together the battle of neighbouring villages and rivals Uitvlugt and Stewartville.

Pybus excited about 2014 Regional 4-Day ST JOHN’S, Antigua – New West Indies Cricket Board Director of Cricket Richard Pybus said recently that he was looking forward to this year’s Regional 4-Day Tournament to further understand the depth of talent in the Caribbean.

The WICB advised yesterday that the West Indies first-class championship will begin this coming Friday, February 28, with two matches.

Jamaica will open the season on home soil, when they face Guyana at Sabina Park, four hours later Windward Islands host defending champions Barbados at the Beausejour Cricket Ground in St Lucia in the first of nine day/night matches to be played this season.

Leeward Islan d s a n d C o mbined Campuses & Colleges then start their season the following day at Warner Park in St Kitts.

Pybus said the WICB Director of Cricket new first-class seaRichard Pybus son will be a chance for him to further devise a strategy to bring the best talent to the surface in a bid to take the West Indies team back to the pinnacle of the game.

“My initial concern coming out to the Caribbean was what is the depth in first-class cricket in the Caribbean,”

said Pybus at a WICB media conference last Monday in Trinidad.

“Having watched the NAGICO Super50 Tournament over the last few weeks, the depth in the fast and spin bowling departments is exceptional, but what I will say is that where we need to improve is how we are managing and developing our talent.”

Pybus said part of the plan to assist with the improvement in the quality of play is to professionalise the first-class game in the short term.

“We want to have core groups of players regionally who will be afforded the opportunity to be fully professional cricketers,” he said.

“We want to have professional set-ups like there are overseas in county cricket, state cricket and franchise cricket. We want to have professional set-ups where we have full-time staff who are supporting full-time players and that is the ultimate goal.”

He added: “All that is going to allow us to do over the next three years is to actually get the West Indies team on a level playing field with the top sides in the world.

“That is not going to make us the best side in the world.

If we were running a race it will be like us catching up to the top sides in the world. That is a key priority for us – to actually get to the starting line, so we can run an equal race.”

Pybus said one of his recommendations was the need for regional players to play more matches and to identify a clear pathway for players to move the system from age group player to club amateur to regional and then international cricket.

“We want to have a clear avenue for players who are playing first-class cricket to go on to play international cricket,” he said.

“First-class cricket is not the finishing school for international cricket. Our players need to be learning and growing their game so by the time they get to the international set-up, they will be up to the fitness standard, the skill-sets and the under-

standing of what is being a professional player.”

He added: “In the past, the great players from the region would play the domestic season and then go over to the United Kingdom and play for the county teams and in league cricket as overseas professionals, so they had six months of cricket.

“So the better players in the region would have a season which was nine to 10 months long. As we stand now, the current season is three months long and then we have the shorter formats.”

Pybus concluded: “We need enough volume of games.

The NAGICO Super50 was very exciting, but in reality, we need more games to give players more opportunities to put the numbers together in terms of volume of runs and volume of wickets taken, so they can put pressure on the incumbents in the West Indies set-up and put the selectors under pressure. That is a huge priority for us.”

LINCOLN, New Zealand (CMC) – West Indies women cricket team suffered a nine-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the opening match of the One Day International (ODI) series at Bert Sutcliffe Oval yesterday.

The West Indies were restricted to 181 for eight from their 50 overs, with Stefanie Taylor top-scoring with 36. An unbeaten 142-run second-wicket partnership between Suzie Bates and Sara McGlashan was the backbone behind New Zealand’s run chase, reaching the target after 29.3 overs.

Suzie Bates put in a Player-of-the-Match performance, contributing with figures of two for 25 with the ball and making an unbeaten 95 with the bat.

Having won the toss and opted to bat, the West Indies got off to a solid start, reach-

ing 50 for one in the 14th over. Kycia Knight looked set with a well-made 30, but her dismissal by Morna Nielsen was followed by the fall of regular wickets.

The dynamic Stefanie Taylor was her usual aggressive self, but undone by a direct hit in the field from Sophie Devine. The all-rounder continued her involvement, taking two of her own wickets, including that of the dangerous Shanel Daley (24).

All the bowlers played a hand, with debutante Hayley Jensen looking particularly good with figures of one for 34 from eight overs.

In response, the New Zealand pair of Bates and McGlashan (60*) dazzled, crunching their way to half-centuries and an easy victory.

Bates brought up her 50 off 55 balls, with Mc-

Suzie Bates puts in a Player-of-the-Match performance.

Glashan taking just one extra ball. Having surpassed a 100-partnership and with under 50 runs to win, the duo picked up the tempo and dominated the West Indies bowlers to pick up the victory in under 30 overs.

The two teams meet in the second of three ODIs tomorrow ( tonight Caribbean Time) in Lincoln.

Summary Scores: West Indies Women Innings: 181/8 (50 overs).

Stafanie Taylor 36, Kycia Knight 30, Shanel Daley 24, Shemaine Campbelle 16; Suzie Bates 2-25, Sophie Devine 2-43, Morna Nielsen 1-22, Frances Mackay 1-24.

New Zealand Women Innings: 184/1 (29.3 overs).

Suzie Bates 95*, Sara McGlashan 60*, Sam Curtis 14; Tremayne Smartt 1-43, Stacy-Ann King 0-16, Shanel Daley 0-32, Shaquana Quintyne 0-23.

ICC U-19 World Cup quarter-finals

Estwick places onus on Windies top order RODDY Estwick, the West Indies U-19 coach, has challenged his batsmen to step up if they intend to overcome Australia in the ICC World Cup quarter-finals today.

Estwick said his side’s loss to South Africa exposed frailties in the line-up as they crumbled for 104, chasing 199. Though West Indies posted over 270 against Zimbabwe and Canada, Estwick sees room for improvement.

“We started off terribly against South Africa,” he said. “But after that, we batted first and lasted the entire 50 overs and we hope to continue like this against Australia.

Before we left the Caribbean, we knew we weren’t doing well batting-wise and that’s still a challenge. We need to spend more time in the crease, build big partnerships and get top scores from the people in the top four (positions).

“We’re doing some work in the nets in the short space of time see page 27
