Speeding car kills Patentia man near his home

- Driver in custody, expresses remorse

By Michel Outridge

JUDE Joseph, 28, of Public Road Patentia, West Bank Demerara, was struck down and killed

by a speeding motorcar a short distance from his home yesterday morning as he was on his way to purchase eggs and bread for his family.

ABANDONED ON THE ROADWAY: The slippers that Jude Joseph was wearing when he was killed

The man’s wife, Natasha Vandeyar, told this publication that she was at home when her husband left walking to make a purchase of eggs and bread for their breakfast and within a few minutes she heard a loud impact and looked through the window and saw a man being pitched into the air.

At the time, she said, she did not know it was her husband but subsequently she saw the bloodied and lifeless body of the father-of-two lying on the roadway.

The grieving woman added that from the report of eyewitnesses, she learnt that Joseph, a miner, was walking at the side of the road when a speeding and out-of-control blue Toyota Spacio struck him from behind, pitching him into the air and when he landed he was bleeding through his ears, mouth and nose.

Teixeira in Paris for crucial FATF meet, beginning today

By Vanessa Narine

THE 36-member Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and representatives from its regional bodies, among them the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), begin their three-day meeting in the French capital, Paris, today.

And Presidential Advisor on Governance, Gail Teixiera, is representing Guyana at what is essentially FATF’s third plenary meeting, under the presidency of Mr. Vladimir Nechaev of the Russian Federation.

Some of the issues on the agenda for the plenary: * Reviewing the implementation of measures taken by countries who remain in the ‘follow-up process’ to address deficiencies identified in their anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) measures during the last round of mutual evaluation reports; * Identifying jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT system and reviewing progress made by jurisdictions that had been identified at the February 2014 Plenary; * Reviewing and adopting typologies reports on methods and trends in money laundering and terrorist financing, including the report on the risk of terrorist abuse of the non-profit sector; and . * Engaging with the FATF-Style Regional Bodies through the Global Network Co-ordination Group to ensure effective global implementation of the revised FATF Recommendations.

GUYANA’ CASE The FATF Plenary is the decision-making body of the international watchdog, and how much Ms. Teixiera will be able to achieve is still uncertain, given the many deadlines Guyana has already missed to ensure the country is compliant with international standards.

Guyana was regionally blacklisted in November by CFAT, and was recommended by the regional watchdog to FATF on May 29, at which time the body recommended counter-measures to be taken against Guyana. The range of onerous measures include: Enhancing due diligence measures in their dealings with Guyana; introducing enhanced reporting

mechanisms, or systematic reporting of financial transactions; refusing to establish subsidiaries or branches or representative offices in Guyana; and taking into account the fact that financial institutions from Guyana do not have adequate AML/CFT systems, and thus limit the business relationships or financial transactions with this country.

The enactment of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill before CFATF’s meet in May, by all accounts, Presidential Advisor on could have averted GuyGovernance, Gail Teixiera ana’s referral to CFATF, particularly since the body had noted that 90 per cent of the deficiencies identified are legislative in nature.

The Bill, to meet CFATF’s requirements, was tabled in the National Assembly in April 2013, but referred to a Parliamentary Special Select Committee and eventually voted down by the combined Opposition in November 2013. The Bill was re-tabled in December 2013, and again referred to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee, chaired by Ms. Teixiera, where it has been since.

Government has repeated it willingness to have the Bill passed, and has demonstrated its commitment to same, but has been locked in political gridlock with the combined Parliamentary Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Alliance for Change (AFC).

Both Parties have linked conditionalities to their support for the passage of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill.

APNU proposed three amendments, which were included in the Party’s draft amendments to the Principal AML/CFT Act, which President Donald Ramotar said would be supported by his Government if the Party would agree to pass the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. This was rejected.

APNU’s position is an ‘all-or-nothing one’ as the Party maintains its demands not only for their Bill, but also re-

stated its call on the President to give his assent to several Bills passed in the National Assembly, including the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. The Head of State has already forwarded his explanation for hisnon assent to the National Assembly.

On the other hand, the AFC, which is fully behind APNU’s position, is demanding the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which the government has agreed to, providing that Cabinet retains its no-objection role in the process; but the latter position has been rejected by the AFC. However, on May 29, after the announcement by CFATF, the AFC, in a statement, noted that it is now willing to budge on its position, and support Cabinet’s retention of its no-objection role.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY Additionally, FATF’s new Methodology for assessing technical compliance with the FATF Recommendations and the Effectiveness of AML/CFT systems sets out how the FATF will determine whether a country is sufficiently compliant with the 2012 FATF Standards, and whether its AML/ CFT system is working effectively.

The FATF is the global standard-setter in the fight against money laundering, and the financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and over the past 20 years, the organisation has developed, used, and refined rigorous compliance mechanisms to help ensure global compliance with its Standards.

It assesses compliance through a stringent country evaluation and monitoring process.

The new Methodology will provide the basis for an integrated analysis of the extent to which a country is compliant with the FATF Standards

Iran rejects U.S. action in Iraq, ISIL tightens Syria border grip open to collaboration against ISIL, which is also fighting the Iranian-backed president of Syria, whom Washington wants to see removed.

“American authorities are trying to portray this as a sectarian war, but what is happening in Iraq is not a war between Shi’ites and Sunnis,” said Khamenei, who has the last word in the Islamic Republic’s Shi’ite clerical administration.

Accusing Washington of using Sunni Islamists and loyalists of Saddam’s Baath party, he added: “The U.S. is seeking an Iraq under its hegemony and ruled by its stooges.”

During Iran’s long war with Saddam in the 1980s, Iraq enjoyed quiet U.S. support.

Tehran and Washington have been shocked by the lightning offensive, spearheaded by ISIL but also involving Sunni tribes and Saddam loyalists. It has seen swathes of northern and western Iraq fall, including the major city of Mosul on June 10.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani criticized oil-rich Sunni Gulf states that he said were funding “terrorists” - a reference to the likes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar which have backed Sunni rebels against Syria’s Iranian-backed leader Bashar al-Assad.

By Kamal Namaa ANBAR Iraq (Reuters) - Iran’s supreme leader accused the United States yesterday of trying to retake control of Iraq by exploiting sectarian rivalries, as Sunni insurgents drove toward Baghdad from new strongholds along the Syrian border.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s condemnation of U.S. action came three days after President Barack Obama offered to send 300 military advisers to help the Iraqi government. Khamenei may want to block any U.S. choice of a new prime minister after grumbling in Washington about Shi’ite premier Nuri al-Maliki.

The supreme leader did not mention the Iranian president’s recent suggestion of cooperation with Shi’ite Tehran’s old U.S. adversary in defense of their mutual ally in Baghdad.

Yesterday, militants overran a second frontier post on the Syrian border, extending two weeks of swift territorial gains as the Islamic State of

US Secreatry of Sate John Kerry Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) pursues the goal of its own power base, a “caliphate” straddling both countries that has raised alarm across the Middle East and in the West.

“We are strongly opposed to U.S. and other intervention in Iraq,” IRNA news agency quoted Khamenei as saying. “We don’t approve of it as we believe the Iraqi government, nation and religious authorities are capable of ending the sedition.”

Some Iraqi observers interpreted his remarks as a warning not to try to pick its own replacement for Maliki, whom many in the West and Iraq hold responsible for the crisis. In eight years in power, he has alienated many in the Sunni minority that dominated the country under ousted dictator Sadd-

am Hussein.

Khamenei has not made clear how far Iran itself will back Maliki to hold on to his job once parliament reconvenes following an election in which Maliki’s bloc won the most seats.

Speaking in Cairo, Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States wanted Iraqis to find a leadership that would represent all the country’s communities though he echoed Obama in saying it would not pick or choose those leaders: “The United States would like the Iraqi people to find leadership that is prepared to represent all of the people of Iraq, that is prepared to be inclusive and share power,” Kerry said.

The Iranian and the U.S. governments had seemed

“We emphatically tell those Islamic states and all others funding terrorists with their petrodollars that these terrorist savages you have set on other people’s lives will come to haunt you,” IRNA quoted Rouhani as saying on Sunday.

WESTERN OFFENSIVE ISIL thrust east from a newly captured Iraqi-Syrian border post on Sunday, taking three towns in Iraq’s western Anbar province after seizing the frontier crossing near the town of Qaim on Saturday, witnesses and security sources said.

They seized a second, al-Waleed, on Sunday. (Full Story) The gains have helped ISIL secure supply lines to Syria, where it has exploited the chaos of the uprising against Assad to seize territory. It is considered the most powerful force among armed groups who seized Falluja, just west of Baghdad, and took parts of Anbar’s capital Ramadi at the start of the year.

The fall of Qaim represented another step towards the realization of ISIL’s military goals, erasing a frontier drawn by colonial powers carving up the Ottoman empire a century ago.

ISIL’s gains on Sunday included the towns of Rawa and Ana along the Euphrates river east of Qaim, as well

as the town of Rutba further south on the main highway from Jordan to Baghdad. Jordan said traffic had stopped arriving from Iraq.

An Iraqi military intelligence official said Iraqi troops had withdrawn from Rawa and Ana after ISIL militants attacked the settlements late on Saturday.

“Troops withdrew from Rawa, Ana and Rutba this morning and ISIL moved quickly to completely control these towns,” the official said.

“They took Ana and Rawa this morning without a fight.”

IRAQ SPLINTERS Military spokesman Major-General Qassim al-Moussawi said the withdrawal from the towns was intended to ensure “command and control” and to allow troops to regroup and retake the areas.

The towns are on a strategic supply route between ISIL’s positions in northwestern Iraq and eastern Syria, where the group has taken a string of towns and strategic positions from rival Sunni forces fighting Assad over the past few days.

The last major Syrian town not in ISIL’s hands in the region, the border town of Albukamal, is controlled by the Nusra Front, al Qaeda’s branch in Syria which has clashed with ISIL.

IMF Economist predicts No devaluation threat to ‘low gear’ growth for region the Barbados dollar BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) - There is no immediate danger of the currency being pushed below its present value although other economic indicators are sliding, says Clyde Mascoll, the opposition Barbados Labour Party’s (BLP) spokesman on finance .

“In spite of the fact that we were having a fiscal crisis problem, and we continue to have one; in spite of the fact that our economy has not been growing for the last six years; in spite of the fact unemployment has been rising, the one economic indicator in Barbados that was positive for the last six years was the adequacy of the foreign reserves at the Central Bank,” Mascoll said recently.

He added - “If we can get the fundamentals right and do other things and get the policy prescription right, then we should not even be using the word [devaluation] in Barbados.”

These comments from Mascoll, came at the same day other economic pundits were pointing to increased difficulty in obtaining foreign exchange from the Central Bank and a continued slide of the economy behind those of the CARICOM region.

Opposition Barbados Labour Party spokesman on finance, Clyde Mascoll Disputing a government minister’s claim that there is no problem for individuals and companies obtaining money for overseas transactions, immediate past president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Barbados, David Simpson, claimed that a squeeze on foreign currency access is on.

“I’ve heard some denial from one Cabinet minister this week, but I have experienced it, and one or two of my clients have as well,” Simpson said.

While speculating that the current difficulty in obtaining foreign exchange might be a case of the Central Bank strictly applying an old Barbados policy on release of such funds, Simpson insisted that the restrictions are now in place regardless of the reason.

“I can tell you it is the

case, which suggests there is still some concern in terms of the foreign exchange reserves,” he added.

With no conventional natural resources in significant quantity, Barbados depends on earnings gained through licensing offshore companies, tourism, and a small manufacturing export industry for its foreign currency.

The Central Bank reported that as of March, 2014, the island’s foreign reserves stood at BDS$1.1 billion (Bds $1.00 = US$0.50) that covers 16 weeks of imports.

Also on that day, leading investment banker, Jason Julien, spoke of a need to ring ‘alarm bells’ if there was not economic improvement.

He spoke of the island’s weak economic growth, high debt levels, weak foreign exchange earnings, and its susceptibility to external shocks.

“When we look at the Barbados economy compared to the rest of the region as a whole, the reality is we are lagging behind at this point...The average growth rate expected for Barbados is 0.6 per cent, and when you look at the Caribbean as a whole, it exceeds that,” said Julien.

MIAMI, (CMC) – International Monetary Fund (IMF) economist André Meier has predicted ‘lowgear’ growth for Latin America and the Caribbean.

Meier, a deputy division chief at the Washington-based international financial Western Hemisphere Department, said some countries in the region will do better than others, but the overall economic outlook is subdued.

The IMF is projecting growth of 2.5 percent this year for Latin America and the Caribbean and slightly better performance in 2015.

Meier, in an address at the University of Miami’s Centre for Hemispheric Policy,

said just four years ago, average regional economic growth was 6.5 percent, adding that self-confidence also peaked in 2010 as regional economies quickly rebounded from the effects of the global financial crisis.

At the time, he said, many countries seemed to have “overcome the curse of being emerging markets.”

But since then, Meier said confidence has eroded and Latin America is facing a number of challenges.

Among the challenges, said Meier, are slowing investment rates, lower commodity prices, tighter financial conditions, too much red tape that is negatively impacting the business climate, and congested ports

and other supply bottlenecks in some countries.

As more people move into the middle class, they also have rising expectations and, “how to live up to those higher expectations during leaner times will be a challenge,” Meier said.

Joydeep Mukherji, senior director of the Sovereign Ratings Group at Standard and Poor’s, said the risk now for many regional countries is stagnation — low growth that goes on for some time.

He said the scenario for the US economy and slowing growth in China — the main market for regional commodities — will both impact the region.

Guyana’s growing Chinese presence THERE are those who see the growing Chinese presence in Guyana as a threatening scenario that can be likened unto a giant that will overpower every citizen, thereby assuming control over the country.

Unless one has mis-interpreted this perception, this is the mindset of a growing number of citizens.

It is good that our citizens have been noting what is taking place within their country, especially in terms of its development. However, this seeming anxiety over the Chinese is misplaced, if one is prepared to understand the dynamics of national economic development, and the realities of the emergent international economic relations plateau.

For example, last week, Chinese Premier, Li Kekiang was received in Britain with great pomp and ceremony as testimony to recognition of growing economic influence. Not only was he received by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, an honour reserved only for Heads of State, but there were business deals totaling £14B (US$23B).

It is evident that Guyana has charted a socio-economic development policy, based on direct heavy State investment; private sector investment; private sector joint ventures with the government; and foreign direct investment. No country that is wise about its socio-economic development will ever ignore/refuse sources of foreign investment that are favourable in its conditions.

As is well known, the United States no longer sees Guyana and the Caribbean as geopolitically important, as was the case during the Cold War,

when financial aid flowed as a counter against possible communist influence.

Coupled with the fundamentally important scenario of the ending of the Cold War is the re-direction of the United States especially, and other traditional economic donors to other contingency theatres that are of more urgency to their national interests.

Also of even more significance is the fact that these new areas of US foreign policy have resulted in contingency investments to the American treasury of trillions of dollars. Now, factor this with the international economic crises that almost resulted in a collapse of this North American economy, and one will understand that there would be severe constraints in America’s economic financial aid to countries such as Guyana.

One stands to be corrected in saying that there has been a gradual reduction in US aid flows to the entire CARICOM region, inclusive of Guyana, over the past 15 years and over.

The truism, that has to be understood by those critics of Guyana’s accepting economic financial aid from the emerging Asian economic giant, is that every country has the right to chart its own foreign policy, based on its domestic imperatives.

Thus, the scale of Guyana’s socio-economic development with its transformative component warranted the kind of aid and investment flows which the Chinese have generously been giving.

It is instructive to note that Guyana’s development process has coincided with the rise of this Asian giant.

Only recently, the Chinese President completed a tour of some European countries, as well as on the African continent. On all of these visits, China was welcomed with great ceremony, after which huge investments and

Hope Canal works on target for June 30 deadline ––But low water levels will prevent testing most of the year

By Vanessa Narine AGRICULTURE Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy has given his word that work on the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) Northern Relief Channel, better known as the Hope Canal, will be completed by the June 30 deadline, with the exception of minor landscaping and finessing works.

He however noted that the low water levels in the canals will prevent the testing of operationalisation for most of this year.

“Operationalisation is likely not to be tested for most of this year, since we do not expect heavy rainfall; and the water has to be at a certain level before it is operationalised,” he told the Chronicle Friday.

Guyana’s rainfall for the period of the last three months has been below the average amount expected for the same period from long-term rainfall averages, and the country is on an El Nino Alert. Also, a Special El Nino working group

has since been convened to monitor and plan actions to reduce any adverse impact of a possible El Nino on agriculture production.

The Hope Canal features four main components, namely: The more than 10-kilometre channel; the head regulator; the eight-gate sluice at the canal’s Atlantic end; and the EDWC Northern Relief Channel Public Road Bridge.

The latter has been completed and was commissioned in early February this year by President Donald Ramotar, who noted that the bridge is a quintessential infrastructural investment, particularly because of its economic and humanitarian importance.

Dr. Ramsammy told this newspaper that the eight-gate sluice at the canal’s Atlantic end is 80 per cent completed, with the main structures already in place. The head regulator, on the other hand, is 98 per cent complete, with the only job left being the installation of a wrench, which the Minister said will take a mere two hours.

The more than 10-kilometre channel, he said, has been

GUYANA

EDITORIAL economic trade deals were agreed.

For the critics again, they must be reminded of the multi-billion (US) aid development package that was placed at the disposal of those CARICOM States that have diplomatic ties with China, during Chinese President Xi Xingping’s visit to Trinidad, in 2013. Were there objections to the concluded deals?

Absolutely not!

Let it be understood that Chinese economic aid is now a concrete fact of global international economic relations, and it is a much sought after ingredient that has been fuelling positive economic growth rates in, for example, many African countries.

Many countries that had been struggling with their economic development, its funding, have been rescued by the generosity of the Chinese.

In Guyana, there have been grumblings from some sections of the business community, for example, the garment manufacturers, and those that import clothing from some Asian destinations. Whereas, buyers were given only wholesale options, the advent of the Chinese has resulted in retail alternatives, and at cheaper prices. Of course, the latter suits the pockets of the working class.

One wonders if it were a case of huge American aid flows, concomitant with investments on the scale as the Chinese, whether such a hue and cry, so evident because of the latter, would have been made?

completed, with the only long-term work remaining being the shaping and reshaping of the embankments.

Projections were that the US $15M Hope Canal project, which is expected to be the answer to the flooding experienced in the Mahaica/Mahaicony/Abary (MMA) areas during rainy periods, would be operational as the rainy season sets in.

Residents in the MMA area have, over the years, lost crops and cattle in floods, during the rainy period. As seen in the past, when the Maduni Sluice had to be opened to drain the East Demerara Water Conservancy, residents in the MMA area have to battle a rise in the Mahaica Creek, making the completion of the Hope Canal something that is much needed.

Agriculture Construction on the projMinister, Dr. Leslie ect began in February 2011, Ramsammy with an estimated 18 months for completion. The deadline for the project was initially set for June 2013, but was subsequently extended to the end of August, and then once again extended to December 31, 2013.

Faith Harding’s rejection of Granger’s destructive, unpatriotic leadership WHEN Faith Harding rejected the current leadership of the PNC, she began a series of community developmental projects geared towards the enhancement of lives and livelihoods of the vulnerable and young people in various parts of the country.

She showed, through example, that leadership is not about destruction and unpatriotic acts that could ultimately eventuate in national developmental retrogression, but about growth and development of constituents; and she displayed her willingness to work with all stakeholders for the common good, displaying political and personal maturity beyond her Party’s parameters, and out of the confines of the egos of the collective opposition leadership.

On November 6, Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney with 50.3 per cent of the popular vote, and a surprising 303 electoral votes. Following are a few of the multiplicity of reasons analysts proffer for Romney’s defeat.

“The hundreds of millions of billionaires’ money didn’t work. The politics of division didn’t work. The Tea Party revolution of 2010 failed.”

“Unlimited dark money doesn’t necessarily buy votes. The Karl Rove and other such Super PACs poured hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, much from anonymous sources, into key races to win Congressional seats, Senate seats, and the presidency.”

“Romney pandered to his super-rich sponsors.

Then a tape was uncovered where Romney told donors, ‘47 per cent of the people were victims...

My job is not to worry about those people.’” “ During the campaign, the candidate, or his surrogates, accused the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Congressional Research Service, the Congressional Budget Office and the Office of Management and Budget of “cooking the books” whenever any of these non-partisan agencies issued reports with which they disagreed.

“They engaged in free character assassination of every analyst, blogger, or pundit with whom they disagreed. Nate Silver of the New York Times 538 blog, who is a well-respected statistician, was openly attacked for his conclusions, even though he has a spotless track record in calling races (and baseball).

“Their other dimension existence was put on full public display last night after Fox News statisticians called Ohio for Obama when Karl Rove, a paid flack for the GOP and Romney, demanded to be put on the air to retract the call, making a fool of himself and his network in front of millions of viewers.

“I believe Rove’s attempt to alter the results caused the awkward hour-and-a-half delay before Romney finally conceded.

“Lying doesn’t work. The most shocking strategy of the Romney campaign was a conscious decision made by the candidate that winning was more important than truth. He freely lied about the president, the economy, welfare reform, the auto bailout, major companies, history, and even Americans themselves. He flipped on every single social issue that he had advocated as governor of Massachusetts and stridently concealed his own tax records.

“Almost without exception, he doubled down on his lies and shifting positions when publicly called out. In the end, he badly damaged his reputation by the freeform lying, reducing confidence in his candidacy. Many other Republicans followed suit.

“Pandering to an immoral base doesn’t work in a general election. The GOP, driven to the extremist fringes of our society by screwballs who have taken over the party, carries a cost when you have to appeal to normal people in a general election.”

“I’m not naive enough to think that the Republicans are suddenly going to become more compassionate, kind, caring, less white, less racist, less strident, and more female overnight.

However, if they don’t embrace these truths, they will imperil their own future relevance or even existence.”

Does any of the foregoing ring a bell, in the context of the political landscape in Guyana?

In the wake of Romney’s defeat, did any of Romney’s supporters burn tyres and other debris to impede commuters on the public highways?

Did they set public infrastructure afire, or destroy them by any other means? Did they attack, rob, beat, sexually molest or interfere in any way with the rights of Obama supporters?

No! They did none of those things! They are not part of the American culture.

And America has serious problems with large pockets of poverty. It is in recession, with many people losing jobs and homes, among other implications consequenced by a distressed economy.

But do Romney’s supporters decide that to rectify these ills in their society, they have to divide the nation and/or destroy its developmental path?

Instead Romney, despite his faults, graciously (even if unwillingly) conceded electoral victory to Obama, and adjured all Americans to work together for the national good. Sounds familiar?

And President Obama did not offer a basket of charity, but an assurance of hope for a restoration of greatness in the USA, where all things

are achievable by anyone; with the emphasis, in effect, that such hope is a hope that comes with working hard and making sacrifices, and not by sitting on the sidelines and expecting to be rewarded for lack of effort toward personal development and national progress.

The greatness that the USA once had, and which the President had assured will once again achieve, will only be realised, he warned, with the involvement of all its citizens in a common endeavour toward attainment of its former glory. He gave the assurance that he will call on the defeated Republican candidate, Governor Mitt Romney, to work together for the good of America and the American people. Again, sounds familiar?

Guyana’s opposition collective need to take heed of the foregoing, and join with President Donald Ramotar, whose invitation to the opposition for tripartite discussions on national issues was rejected time and again for confrontational and destructive strategies meant to wrest power at any cost.

It is not too late for them to attempt to heal those breaches they have caused in the nation, and join the Government to promote the developmental initiatives in the country for the general good of the Guyanese people.

Guyana’s opposition collective have shown that they are prepared to destroy their country and the people, whom they refer to as “collateral damage,” in their ruthless drive for back-entry power.

As President Obama said, the USA will rise again, because, above all, all Americans are prepared to join forces and work towards that eventuality.

When will Guyanese achieve that political maturity? Leaders like Faith Harding are a promise that Guyana’s leaders are not all about power – across the divides - and are prepared to work toward the general good, even if such positive attitudes alienate them from the party that they, in principle, support, but because of those very principles, reject anti-developmental paths taken by their own party leadership.

Attorney-General flays APNU for trying to railroad the President ––into establishing COI into December 2011 shootings

By Derwayne Wills

ATTORNEY-General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall, has taken Leader of the Opposition, Brig. (Rt.) David Granger, to task for flouting the law in an attempt to force the President to establish a Commission of Inquiry into the December 2011 shootings by the Guyana Police Force.

The Minister, in his objection to the Motion raised by the Opposition Leader in the National Assembly on Thursday, asserted that the combined Opposition should not continue to demand that the President establish commissions of inquiry without the President acting of his own volition.

“We cannot, with the alarming frequency that I see repeated in the Order Paper and discussions in the Attorney-General House, keep requesting and Minister of the President to hold Legal Affairs, commissions of inquiry Mr. Anil Nandlall one after the other,” he said.

DELIBERATE JUDGEMENT Minister Nandlall drew his objection to the Motion from Article 111 (1) of the 1980 Constitution. He said the constitutional provision states that the President, in the exercise of his functions under the Constitution or any other law, may act in accordance with his own deliberate judgement.

Similarly, the President may act on the advice or recommendation of any other person or authority only in cases where he is required to do so by the constitution, or by any other law.

He further contended that, in accordance with Section 2 of the Commission of Inquiries Act, Cap.19:03 Volume Six, the decision to establish a Commission of Inquiry and the ability to appoint a Commissioner or Commissioners vests with absolute discretion of the President. And the matter being inquired into must be deemed to be in the best interest of the public welfare by the President.

The AG noted that the legislative drafters did not provide for a situation where the President has the power to act on his own judgement, but only under the constitution.

He said, “The Commission of Inquiries Act and the Constitution concatenate to give to the President a power that he should exercise in his own deliberate judgement”.

Minister Nandlall, however, bemoaned the fact that the Opposition Leader was asking for a commission of inquiry into a matter for which he

had already provided the answers, based on the strong, condemning language of his presentation.

He similarly noted that the Opposition Leader is once again attempting to undermine the powers of the President.

“You are effectively denying that deliberate judgement that the law and the constitution vest in the President”, Nandlall asserted.

SHIFTING POSITIONS The Legal Affairs Minister, referring to a speech made by Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr. Basil Williams, during the budget debate, recalled that the position of the APNU was made clear when the party recognised the right of Mrs. Walter Rodney to have closure with her husband’s death.

The Minister, in citing the submission by Williams, underscored the APNU position: “We (APNU) do not accept that she (Mrs. Walter Rod-

‘You are saying that the President should have never listened to Mrs. Rodney; he should have never been counselled and procured by Rodney, but how can you say that he must be counselled and procured by the Leader of the Opposition or by the National Assembly? It is the same principle?’ Attorney-General, Mr. Anil Nandlall

ney) has a role in determining the formation and the operation of the CoI (Commission of Inquiry)”.

“APNU regards this as the sole preserve of the person (in) whom Parliament has reposed that power, that person is the President”.

The National Assembly, in sittings past, had conferred the power to establish a commission of inquiry and to appoint a commissioner or commissioners in the President.

The Minister chided the APNU on the question of principle for requesting, once again, that the President abdicate his responsibility, since, according to the statement

by Basil Williams, “the acceptance of the advice from Mrs. Rodney to exclude WPA (Working People’s Alliance) and the PNC (People’s National Congress)” was an abdication of the responsibility given to the person in the Act (Commission of Inquiry Act), meaning the President.

“You are saying that the President should have never listened to Mrs. Rodney; he should have never been counselled and procured by Rodney, but how can you say that he must be counselled and procured by the Leader of the Opposition or by the National Assembly? It is the same principle?” Minister Nandlall stressed.

VIOLATIONS NOT CONDONED AG Nandlall denounced the notion put forward by the Opposition Leader during the background to his motion that there existed an institutional policy to condone violations by the Police Force in shooting citizens who were protesting.

“I cannot lend credence to any violation, or allegations of violations of the law; I cannot stand here and defend the violation of people’s constitutional rights; I cannot condone the abuse of power; I will not do so”, the AG stressed.

While Minister Nandlall underscored that he is in agreement with the sentiments of constitutional violations which drives the Opposition Leader’s motion, he disagreed to the mentions in Granger’s speech of there being a policy that allowed for violations to continue without the administration addressing them.

In an attempt for clarity in the Opposition Leader’s presentation, the Minister indicated, “I didn’t get the impression…that there is some systematic or institutionalised policy driven by the executive to perpetrate and perpetuate these types of violations; because if he says that, I will part company with him absolutely. I don’t think he is saying so.”

By contrast, Nandlall recalled, it is the intention of the Government to establish various measures, training programmes, and policies which are applied and imposed daily with the view to creating a professional law enforcement agency.

The Minister pointed to former Commissioner of Police and present APNU Member of Parliament, Mr. Winston Felix, who could give testament to the policies of the Government designed to avoid the types of incidents that are mentioned in Granger’s motion.

“Police shooting civilians is something that the constitution outlaws and the Government abhors and will always reject”, Nandlall affirmed.

LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY Additionally, Minister Nandlall urged that conclusions should not be made that the police are solely at fault. He observed that Granger, in his presentation, alluded to the fact that there are reactions to every action, and therefore there should be a level of consciousness in the awareness of legal responsibilities in the decision to exercise the constitutional right to protest.

He urged that it is not the police, on the one hand, that should be blamed, but instead, the Leader of the history of protest actions Opposition, Brig. should similarly be taken (Rt.) David Granger into account. Such history, according to the Minister, “resulted in violence and a lot of political damage to the PNC (now the majority bloc in the APNU), and perhaps that is why protest action is not an option they would like to resort to, in recent times.

Nandlall conclusively alluded to the ‘slow fiyah, moh fiyah’ campaigns and the burning of Regent Street, which would have occurred in the late 1990s and early 2000s. “We have that history, we came from that, and we cannot turn a blind eye to these things. The police would have been reacting to situations that are at hand”, he said.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana...

Did ‘Hammy’ and Co. ever heed President Jagdeo’s offer of more funding ––if M&CC initiated special projects in South Georgetown wards OLD Kai has given the ‘usual suspects’ enough time to spread their misinformation against the PPP/C Government whom they constantly attempt to portray as being unconcerned and uncaring towards certain wards in Capital City which have traditionally been strongholds of the opposition.

Because of the ethnic makeup of some of these communities they have also attempted to portray it as discrimination and attempts by the Government to undermine one particular race.

This argument is nonsensical and those who peddle it are either devious with no qualms in subverting the truth or ignorant of what has transpired over the years.

Old Kai will now destroy this myth with another explosive revelation, which shows that the efforts of Central Government to develop these areas working through and not over the M&CC were deliberately frustrated.

Presently, we are bombarded with accusations by current Mayor Hamilton Green, and his allies in the Opposition that the PPP/C Government has consistently sought to undermine the council by bypassing it when implementing projects, one such example is the current clean up exercise. They have used this argument to escape blame for the current state of the Capital City.

However, the evidence proves otherwise.

In June 2001, President Bharrat Jagdeo while addressing a function in South Georgetown which also saw the attendance of Mayor Hamilton Green and which was published in the Stabroek News, the Head of State had challenged

the Council and Mayor Green to “utilize a substantial portion of the $470 million in planned subventions from Central Government to initiate special projects for youths in the South Georgetown Ward.”

But it did not end there as the PPP/C Government provided an even greater incentive to encourage the M&CC to invest in these South Georgetown areas as the President was quoted as saying, “I will commit more and more funds if you do so” while he also reiterated the need for social facilities in the South Ruimveldt community.

So there you have it, the Government did not seek to dominate or work outside of the council to invest in these areas to enhance their political fortunes, rather it was encouraging the Mayor and Council to do so and in return they will be provided with more and more resources, providing they demonstrated their commitment to develop these areas.

This is the reality which the opposition will not want those communities to hear or read; this is the level of sincerity of the PPP/C Government to develop areas not only in communities sympathetic to it but communities all across Guyana.

The pressing question now is what did the Mayor and Opposition dominated Council do after this challenge from President Jagdeo? The mere fact that these very people are today going around in the South Georgetown areas and crying that the PPP/C Government has starved these

City Police fingered in theft commits suicide LANCE Corporal Compton Joseph is believed to have committed suicide at his Sophia home.

Police report finding the 47-year-old Joseph dead in his house at Sophia just days after an internal audit revealed that Gy$1 million, comprising station bail for various persons apprehended by the police, had disappeared from the City Constabulary during his tour of duty, and could not be accounted for.

Joseph had been a member of the City Constabulary for over fifteen years, and had moved

up the ranks to hold the position of ‘Officer-in-chargeof-Stores’ at the time of his demise.

Head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Guyana Police Force, Senior Superintendent Leslie James, has informed that the 47-year-old Joseph may have been in charge of the cash and property that is missing.

He had reportedly “walked off the job” after the internal audit revelation, and had been wanted by national and city police. (Alex Wayne)

areas of investments indicates they did almost nothing.

So what did they do with the hundreds of millions and other resources provided by Central Government over the years? Where were all these resources channeled to? When the Government called for more transparency and accountability from the M&CC in the use of these funds, it was attacked for trying to control the Municipality.

Then the Government was also attacked for not providing more and more funds to the M&CC. Which Government will continue to provide funds carte blanche to a Council, when there is no evidence of the intended investments and no effort at accountability?

It is this reality which saw the Government taking on the responsibility for doing road and drainage works, among other initiatives in Georgetown and in return it was attacked for not channeling these resources

through the Council.

Clearly, whatever the PPP/C Government does it will always be vilified by the opposition. Old Kai hopes that citizens will look at the facts; look at these revelations and then ask themselves why did the Opposition not jump at the proposal by the Government for the M&CC to begin investing in their communities after which more and more funds would have been made available.

They will then obviously question the sincerity of the opposition, especially all those grand promises now being made by the APNU, Mayor Green and Mr. David Granger, when considering that they (the Opposition) had the opportunity to realize all their initiatives with funding from Government but for some reason never invested these resources in the communities they now run to for support.

Irate prisoner sacks counsel, gets adjournment ––in ‘Mango Man’ murder trial

By George Barclay

The three accused in the ‘Mango Man’ murder case: In foreground is Mark Williams, aka Roydon Durant or ‘Smallie’. Immediately behind him are co-defendants, Sherwin Nero, called ‘Cuffy’; and Andrew Philander, called ‘Junior’ or ‘Gadget’

ANGRY murder accused, Mark Williams, who had been on trial in the high profile Lusignan Massacre case and was freed, caused an uproar on Thursday in another murder case.

Williams, known as Roydon Durant, and also called ‘Smallie’ is charged jointly with two others with having on August 30, 2007, in the county of Demerara, murdered Kumar Singh, called ‘Mango Man.’ Williams on Thursday sacked his State-assigned defence counsel, Raymond Ali and declared that he wanted a fair trial but doubted that this was possible with the present judge and prosecutor in his current trial. He then applied for an adjournment to enable his family to retain Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Roger Yearwood, as his defence counsel.

But before all this had occurred, Williams had re-

fused to attend court and his co-defendants Sherwin Nero, called ‘Cuffy’; and Andrew Philander, called ‘Junior’ and ‘Gadget’ had appeared in court escorted by heavily armed Tactical Services Unit (TSU) ranks and members of the Brickdam-based Dragon Alpha Squad.

After consultations among court officials, the police, and prisons it was determined that Williams who was absent must be brought to court.

As the party returned with him, the siren of the police escort vehicle could be heard. And then shockingly the accused appeared in a short multi-coloured pants and a white T-shirt.

And he had already told his lawyer who had approached him for instructions, “Keep away from me. I don’t want to see you.”

On the first occasion last week a jury was empanelled to try this case. On the re-

sumption yesterday the judge had received an application from Mr. Ali asking for leave to withdraw from the case since the accused was hostile and had asked him to leave when he sought his instructions for the case.

The judge then sent the jury out of sight and hearing while he communicated with the accused and Mr. Ali. At this stage, the judge granted leave to Mr. Ali to withdraw from the matter and told the accused that since he and the other co-defendants are all charged jointly, they would have to be tried together.

The judge aborted the trial and the accused who has been in custody for a long time will be further remanded until the next session.

The jury were discharged without giving a verdict but were asked to return on today when it is hoped that they would be empanelled in another matter.

Young fisherman escapes fiery death on board fishing vessel TWENTY-FIVE-YEAROLD Orin Edwards of Cooklit Landing, Barama River, North West District, was severely burnt on his feet in a freak accident in the Moruca Creek last Tuesday.

The incident occurred when gasoline fell on a light-

Now an in-patient at the Charity Hospital, Orin said he was cooking on the stove at the back of the boat when the captain called on him to help throw over some gas-

oline from a container into the engine tank when the accident occurred.

Orin said he was assisting in this task when the boat suddenly hit a tree at the edge of the creek, and the container fell to the ground and spilled the gasoline on the lighted stove.

He said that in the ensuing sudden blaze, his feet caught afire as the flames tried to engulf him, but he quickly plunged overboard and escaped a fiery death.

The unmarried fisherman said he was pulled from the water by other workers, but had to endure severe pain in the journey from Moruca Creek to Charity because he was without medication.

He said he had to find his way to the hospital all by himself, because the owner of the boat, who lives at Cotton Field, Essequibo Coast, left without offering him any assistance, medically or financially. (Rajendra Prabhulall in Essequibo)

Rehab Week kicks off Teixeira in Paris for with prayer breakfast crucial FATF ...

From page 3

THE Ministry of Health’s Rehab Week kicked off yesterday morning with a prayer breakfast at the Promenade Gardens.

Today, the Ministry will be hosting an ‘Open-Day’ at the Special Needs School in Region Six (East Berbice/ Corentyne); an outreach in the Mahaicony Creek area of Region Five (Mahaica/ Berbice); and a special session with diabetic patients at the Foot Care Clinic at Annai Health Centre in Region Nine (Upper Takutu/ Upper Essequibo), among other activities billed for the week.

This year’s activities are being held under the theme, ‘Reaching new heights through integration and partnership with education and social sectors’.

and the level of effectiveness of its AML/CFT system.

The Methodology comprises two inter-linked components: * The technical compliance assessment, which will address the specific requirements of each of the FATF Recommendations, principally as they relate to the relevant legal and institutional framework of the country, and the powers and procedures of competent authorities. These represent the fundamental building blocks of an AML/CFT system. * The effectiveness assessment, which will assess the extent to which a country achieves a defined set of outcomes that are central to a robust AML/CFT system and will analyse the extent to which a country’s legal and institutional framework is producing the expected results.

A country’s level of compliance with each recommendation, according to FATF, will be indicated with one of the following ratings: Compliant, largely compliant, partially compliant or non-compliant.

How effectively each of the Immediate Outcomes in the Methodology is achieved by a country will be set out in the evaluation report, and will include one of the following ratings: high-level of effectiveness, substantial level of effectiveness, moderate level of effectiveness and low level of effectiveness.

The Methodology used by the FATF and FATF-Style Regional Bodies (FSRBs), is also used by other assessment bodies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

FATF sets standards and promotes effective implementation of legal, regulatory and operational measures for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system. The FATF is expected to publish a summary of the outcomes at the end of the plenary meeting

Rare Guyana stamp fetches whopping US$9.5M A RARE 19th Century postage stamp from British Guiana, the former British colony now known as Guyana, has been bought by an anonymous bidder for a record US$9.5 million at auction in New York.

The famous British Guiana one-cent magenta stamp had been sold on three previous occasions, each time setting the auction record for a single stamp.

The multi-million-dollar collector’s dream measures just 2.5cm by 3.2cm, and had not been publicly exhibited since 1986.

Apart from setting a new world record for the price the stamp has fetched, the one-cent magenta was also the most expensive item by weight and size ever sold, according to Sotheby’s auction house.

“Every collecting area has its Holy Grail. For stamps, it is The British Guiana,” Sotheby’s wrote on its website, noting that the stamp is often described as the “most famous” and “most valuable” in the world.

The stamp humbly orig-

––at New York auction

inated as an improvisation, initially going into circulation when a shipment of stamps from London was delayed and the then British colony’s postmaster asked printers to produce three stamps until the shipment arrived.

The one-cent magenta, as well as a four-cent magenta and a four-cent blue were created; but only the one-cent stamp is thought to have survived.

Printed on magenta paper, the stamp bears a three-masted ship and the

then colony’s motto, “We give and expect in return.”

It was last owned by John du Pont, heir to the du Pont chemical fortune, who died in jail in 2010 following his 1997 conviction for the murder of an Olympic wrestling champion.

The stamp, acquired by du Pont in 1980 for US$935,000, was sold by his estate. Some proceeds are expected to be donated to the Eurasian Pacific Wildlife Conservation Foundation. (Caribbean360)

Mayor Green walks out of solid - after testy clash with waste disposal meet Local Gov’t Minister

By Shivanie Sugrim GEORGETOWN Mayor Hamilton Green Saturday abruptly left the panel in which several parties were discussing how to disburse the $1B budgetted to deal with solid waste disposal.

The venue of the discussions was the Amerindian Village at the Sophia Exhibition Centre, and officials from various ministries comprised the panel.

Mayor Green addressing the panel, in particular Local Government Minister Norman Whittaker

Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Norman Whittaker (left) and Georgetown Mayor Hamilton Green before the panel discussion began After commending Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud; Minister of Local Government & Regional Development, Norman Whittaker; and Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, on the initiative, the Mayor went straight into the proverbial Memory Lane, breaking “his silence” and accusing the ministers of a “certain amount of inconsistency” when they would have already voiced measures being implemented to combat the issue of solid waste disposal in the city of Georgetown.

Mayor Green told Minister Whittaker that it was “wrong, inappropriate, undemocratic and unacceptable” for him to have engineers consult directly with the City Engineer, as he had just declared, since, by so doing, the Minister was allowing an external agency to consult with City officials without

going through the “duly elected official.”

Minister Whittaker, in defence, responded confidently: “The engineers have made significant contributions to works that are being done.” Moreover, Minister Whittaker expounded that in 2013, a Motion which had to do with the restoration of Georgetown was passed in the National Assembly and supported by the ruling Party, whereby the Ministry of Local Government had set up four committees to discuss the outcome of the proposal to facilitate the said motion, and all but two out of the four committees completed their work.

He made the point that the $1B made available by the Government is distinct from the restoration bid, and the two “must not be confused,” since it is still a work-in-progress awaiting completion of the committees’ work.

Minister Whittaker concluded by providing a synopsis of the implementation of that project, since it hails at improving the environment, and not only of Georgetown, but rather important sections of the regions. He said the Ministry and the Minister determines who, in his view, are the people who could make a difference and could see the work progress.

Minister Whittaker then calmly disclosed, “This is not about the politics; this is about getting things done. And the people we had on board were technically competent people who could get things done.”

After several other parties had voiced their opinions, Mayor Green brought to the fore the scenario involving trucks at the City Council, deeming the trucks there “second hand”.

Minister Whittaker responded that the planning committee

for the Georgetown clean-up had allocated substantial funds to rehabilitate several pieces of equipment at City Council, and that the city engineer had listed the defective vehicles and machines to undergo this rehabilitation; but, he said, the City Council must be “meaningfully involved, and we want to help them.”

On that note, Mayor Green walked out of the venue.

Man heading to Imbaimadai nabbed with ‘ganja’

AT about 12: 20h on Saturday, ranks of the Police Narcotics Branch at the Ogle Airport conducted a search on the baggage of a man travelling on a flight to Imbaimadai, during which 502 grams of marijuana were found.

The man is in police custody assisting with the investigations, the police stated in a press release.

Meanwhile at Grove, East Bank Demerara on Saturday morning, the police conducted a search at a house at Grove Squatting area, EBD, during which 4.6 grams of cocaine and 50.8 grams of marijuana were found.

A man has been arrested and is in police custody assisting with the investigations, the release concluded.

GCCI launches fifth edition of ‘Business Guyana’ magazine

By Shirley Thomas THE Inter-American Development (IDB) Resident Representative to Guyana, Ms. Sophie Makonnen, has highly commended the Guyana Private Sector for the laudable role they played in Guyana achieving eight consecutive years of positive growth. She referred to them as the protagonists of economic development in this country.

Ms. Makonnen made this observation as she delivered the keynote address at the launch of the 5th edition of the ‘Business Guyana’ magazine, held at the Pegasus Hotel on Friday evening.

Speaking on the topic “How to foster a sustainable environment for promoting private sector development and international investment,” Ms. Makonnen said, “Firstly, the Guyanese Private Sector must be recognized for their laudable role in Guyana’s achieving eight consecutive years of positive growth.

Through your risk-taking, your diligence, your hard work and your perseverance in the face of uncertainties, you generated output, provided valuable services, created jobs, and in the process, increased government’s tax revenues.”

She commented that, too often, we tend to dwell on the many constraints entrepreneurs face, and the weaknesses in the overall business climate, issues in developing economies; but, Ms. Makonnen said, in reality, over the last few years, the private sector in Guyana has helped propel the country to higher levels.

“Thus my first main message to you is that you are the protagonists of economic development in this country.

You have done a good job, sometimes in challenging circumstances, and you must continue to play this role and strive to do even better.”

And offering guidelines on ‘How to do better,’ she said, “You have to continue to lead the path in gross fixed investment, exports, job creation, adding value to the basic commodities produced, diversifying the economy, product and service delivery innovation, adaptation of cleaner and more efficient technologies.”

Those, she said, would allow the economy to expand, have a broader base of activities, be more resilient to shocks, and

increase income.

Ms. Makonnen noted that the IDB has long been a partner in Guyana’s development, and added that it will continue to be.

“We have an active portfolio of US$240M ($100M still not disbursed). We will be approving over US$95M in the next two weeks (Funds include a $30M Euro grant from the EU). In our current country strategy 2012-2016,

structure, factories, or radical changes in productive technologies; and that they tend to be costly. Often, the cost is beyond the reach of a government that has to worry about debt sustainability, or an individual entrepreneur, or companies that just don’t have sufficient capital to leverage the deal.

To this end, she said, here is where joining forces and collaborating can help over-

level, she said much can be done to form, strengthen, and promote joint ventures, clusters and value chains. For example, where a stand-alone producer of, say, coconut water, may not be able to satisfy an export contract, by banding together with other producers, receiving training in quality assurance, engaging in joint marketing, and joint purchase of expensive common inputs, and coordinating logistics,

grow and to develop resilience to commodity price shocks, the economy has to diversify and add more value to its primary commodities.”

She observed that Guyana’s economy is based on extractive activities (gold, bauxite, manganese and logging) as well as agricultural pursuits (rice, sugar, shrimp, vegetables, fruits). Gold accounts for 35% of exports, and rice accounts for 13%. That apart,

private sector development is one of four priority pillars that we stand ready to assist and facilitate,” she said.

She said that while the IDB is often perceived as directing its assistance only to the public sector, this is, in effect, not the case. “In fact, we have had 20 projects with the private sector since 1996, and we want to do more,” she affirmed.

Noting that the private sector faces myriad challenges, she opted to share with the body thoughts on ways in which it can contribute to expanding the economy, highlighting: public/private partnerships, clusters and value chains; access to business credit and improved payment services; diversification and innovation.

The DB Representative outlined that, invariably, in the sector, many investments are needed - be they infra-

come an obstacle that seemed insurmountable from an individual firm’s standpoint. She added that governments are interested in promoting public/ private partnerships (PPPs).

WHAT ARE PPPs? Public/private partnerships (PPPs), she said, are contracts from public to private actors to provide public services; and in which the private party shares a fair amount of the financial, technical, and operational risks.

Commenting on its benefits, Ms. Makonnen said that PPPs are often used to fund infrastructure projects. She also said that the bank perceives PPPs as a legitimate instrument, and would encourage internal and external private sector actors to get involved.

CLUSTERS AND VALUE CHAINS Meanwhile, at another

much more can be achieved.

And commenting on the thousands of small and micro-enterprises in Guyana, Mackonnen added, “There is strength in numbers,” and declared that these smaller firms are the ones that could account for most of the employment.

Notwithstanding, she said, “To be competitive in an increasingly globalized market, you have to be efficient, innovative and agile.” Against this backdrop, the IDB Representative emphasized the need for smaller businesses to band together in well-functioning, coherent agglomerations, or well-integrated chains, in order to compete effectively both inside and outside the country.

DIVERSIFICATION AND INNOVATION On this very important topic, Ms. Makonnen stressed that: “In order to continue to

many of Guyana’s existing manufacturing activities are closely related to agriculture, such as food processing; distilling beverages; rice milling; and fish and meat processing.

While foreign direct investment (FDI) has been successfully attracted for mining, due to large endowments of minerals and low cost of extraction, more FDIs have to be attracted to other sectors, Ms. Maconnen affirmed.

“The competitive and comparative advantages are promising, but undeveloped sub-sectors have to be touted to both outsiders and nationals,” she declared.

In this regard, the IDB Representative gave the private sector representatives a short and thought-stimulating list by which to be guided.

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, in brief remarks, noted that while Guyana would have been doing well with 5%

growth rate and such like, it becomes incumbent on Guyanese, particularly the young people of this land, to ‘lift their eyes’ and embark on working resolutely towards achieving a 10% growth rate for this country.

Prime Minister Hinds alluded to China which, he said, initially had very little or nothing, but through diligent work has seen its Gross Domestic Product (GDF) doubling over the years. “That is what growth is all about,” he commented.

The Prime Minister also called for a change of attitude, noting that emphasis should be placed on an even playing field and expediting the process.

Reiterating his call for getting on to higher levels of growth rate, the Prime Minister stressed: “The challenge we now have is to get on to the 10% growth (GDP) trajectory.”

And Mistress of Ceremonies (Emcee), Dr. Dawn Stewart-Lyken, Chief Executive Officer of NuDawn Consulting Inc., noted that Guyana is a country of promise, a blessed land; and until we are able to take ownership of it, harness our strengths, open our doors to investments and trade, make the continual development of Guyana’s human capital, we would not be able to fully realize our potential.

Ms. Stewart-Lyken said that coming together as a unified group to produce such a distinguished investors’ guide provides the private sector with a platform to share best practice principles and foster partnerships, allowing members to grow stronger and become leading advocates in their individual industries.

Meanwhile, Senior Vice President of the Guyana Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Mr. Vishnu Doerga, in his remarks, gave a description of, and background to, the business magazine, which was first published in 2010 with a mission to identify, investigate and invest.

Considered one of the best ways to promote Guyana internationally, some 5,000 copies have been printed this year for global circulation. The magazine is credited as being the highest income-earner within the GCCI. The Vote of Thanks was delivered by GCCI Secretary, Nicholas Boyer.

Guyana on irreversible upward trajectory of growth, development –President Ramotar

By Shirley Thomas PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has highly commended the efforts of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited (GCCI) at encouraging greater trade and investment in Guyana.

President Ramotar’s speech appears on Page 9 of the fifth edition of the GCCI’s ‘Business Guyana’ magazine, launched at the Pegasus Hotel last Friday evening. The Head of State asserted: “Through publications such as the ‘Business Guyana’ magazine, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been in the vanguard of encouraging greater trade and investment to our booming industry.”

In his opening remarks, the Head of State said: “I am pleased to welcome the 5th ‘Business Guyana’ magazine. Judging from previous publications, I have every reason to believe this one will also be of an exceptional quality, one that is benefiting of the very high standards that are associated with the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and

Industry.”

Offering kudos to the GCCI for a job well done, President Ramotar continued: “I wish to take this opportunity to commend the insightful leadership of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the excellent work that they have been doing, and especially for the progressive stances they have taken in defence of the national interest.”

He observed that the leadership of the GCCI has been audacious and principled on a number of issues of national concern, and he added: “Indeed, the leadership has been prepared to support development initiatives which they view as being beneficial for Guyana.”

President Ramotar said it is important that all stakeholders continue to work together in advancing the development of Guyana.

He holds the view that such collaboration sends a positive signal to investors about the degree of national consensus surround issues of national development, and thus acts as a magnet for attracting greater trade and

President Donald Ramotar

investment.

Noting that the tremendous strides that our economy has made in recent times would not have gone unnoticed by investors, the Head of State added that these investors continue to show great enthusiasm in doing business with our country.

He deduced that this interest is heightened when important stakeholders within the

private sector are seen as being supportive of the development agenda of the country, which was crafted with inputs from national stakeholders.

“We all have a stake in the future of our country. We all have important roles to play at this time when Guyana is poised to intensify and diversity its economic activities. In the next few years, my government will aggressively pursue major infrastructural projects. This will allow us to deepen our economic integration with larger markets, and, through the regional agreements that we have inked, to provide incentives for more competitive trading and investment arrangements with the rest of the world,” he said.

Observing that Guyana is on an irreversible upward trajectory of growth and development, the President confidently stated thus: “In the years ahead, we will continue to blaze new paths and open up new frontiers of development. I therefore invite investors to be part of this exciting process of economic transformation that is taking place, one that is so vividly captured within the pages of this magazine.”

PPP ‘Night of reflections’...

A poignant reminder of Enmore Martyrs’ bravery –in the face of adversity

By Sandy Agasen THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) last Wednesday evening hosted a session at the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre (Red House) where members of the public were engaged in reflections on the 66th Death Anniversary of the Enmore Martyrs.

The aim of this event was to educate the public on the struggles of the five sugar workers - Lallabagee, Rambarran, Pooran, Surujballi and Harry -- who were shot and killed by the colonial police on June 16, 1948, during a strike.

General Secretary, Clement Rohee, during his address, stated that this historic protest and picketing exercise outside of the Enmore Factory was to express the general dissatisfaction of sugar workers with the cut and load system at the sugar factory, in collaboration with the trade union representing them, and to demand higher wages and better living conditions.

Rohee reflected that on June 16, 1948, a crowd of workers gathered outside the factory at Enmore for a protest and picketing exercise. Several persons managed to enter the compound. The police tried to push back the crowd, but after this effort failed, they opened fire. Five workers were killed and others were injured. These workers, through the years,

became known as the Enmore Martyrs.

“If the People’s Progressive Party/Civic did not keep the fire for this historical event, then it would have been dead today,” he said. This event represents one of the turning

and opportunities for education were almost non-existent and so were health facilities.

He pointed out that Dr. Cheddi Jagan dedicated his life to the struggle for the people of Guyana. “Two years (1950) after this event, the People’s Progressive Party was formed.

In 1953, the PPP won the election and Dr. Cheddi Jagan

It finally returned to power in the 1992 elections, and remains in power today.

Rohee lamented the fact that it has been a continuous struggle for the PPP/C since the formation of the party to now. “At every election, from 1992 to today, it was a struggle... Today, the struggle continues. Every trick and

points in the country’s history, as it highlighted several strands of the economic struggles that were occurring in Guyana.

According to Rohee, this protest was in response to the struggles and oppression that the sugar workers were subjected to, which had become unbearable; living conditions were beyond deplorable, many of them were living in logies

became Prime Minister. However, 100 days after the PPP came into power the British authorities sent in troops and the PPP were thrown out,” he recalled.

He also highlighted that the PPP won the 1961 elections. In 1964, the PPP again won the elections in terms of percentage and total votes; however they were removed.

maneuver is being used to get the PPP/C out of government.”

He concluded by saying that the PPP/C will continue to struggle for the betterment of the people in Guyana. He noted, “Even though the sugar workers worked in an industry that produced sweet, their life was bitter… Enough is enough!” We as citizens must recognise the significance of

the struggles of the Enmore Martyrs.

Speaking at Red House also, the General Secretary of the Guyana Agriculture and General Workers’ Union (GAWU), Seepaul Narine, pointed out that this event resulted in the transformation of our country. He pointed out that the real aim of the strike was to demand recognition of the GIWU as the bargaining union for the field and factory workers on all the sugar estates in the country.

He added that Dr. Jagan himself was personally involved in the strike, and Janet Jagan was also in the forefront in operating soup kitchens for the striking workers and their families on the sugar estates.

Narine mentioned that the retaliation of the British was to scare the workers not to be engaged in struggles pertaining to their working condition.

Chairperson of the Women’s Progressive Organisation (WPO), Gillian Burton-Persaud, pointed out that this event is to celebrate the five sugar workers who paid the ultimate sacrifice for daring to stand up to the colonial estate management.

According to her, the workforce on the estates contained at least 30 per cent of women. They worked in the gang responsible for weeding and putting manure to the sugarcane plants. They were the architects of the protest because of the hardship their male counterparts were facing

on the sugar estates, with very little time to care for their children and the conditions they had to work under.

She mentioned that the tragedy and the ultimate sacrifice of these sugar workers greatly influenced Dr. Jagan’s political philosophy and outlook as he made a silent pledge that he would dedicate his entire life to the cause of the struggle of the Guyanese people against bondage and exploitation.

Burton-Persaud noted that “Due to the hard work of Dr. Cheddi Jagan and Janet Jagan, the women now enjoy better and equal salaries as their male counterparts, maternity benefits, pensionable jobs, direct and unhindered involvement in a trade union of their choice, the opportunity to let their voices be heard on any issue affecting them, the right to negotiate or bargain for better working conditions, the opportunity to be community and political leaders and most significantly, the right to vote for betterment of their choice.”

And Education Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party, Hydar Ali, also spoke of the deplorable living conditions of the sugar workers at that time.

Enmore Martyrs’ Day is observed annually in remembrance of the five sugar workers who were shot and killed on June 16, 1948, by colonial police while they were demonstrating for better working conditions.

Law students to host symposium on ‘Future of Legal Education’ - AG, Bar Association President among panellists

GUYANA CHRONICLE Monday June 23, 2014

By Derwayne Wills UNDER the ambit of Moot Court Guyana, the Mooting Committee of the University of Guyana Law Department has organised a symposium for tomorrow at 4:00pm in the Education Lecture Theatre (ELT), Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown.

The event is being hosted as a joint initiative between the UG Law Society (UGLS), and the UG Students’ Society (UGSS), with the aim of informing and seeking information from stakeholders on the issue of advancing “the Future of Legal Education in the Caribbean Community.”

Members of the panel who were invited to participate in the landmark event include Chairperson of the Council for Legal Education, Ms. Jacqueline Samuels-Brown; Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall; acting Chancellor of the Judiciary, Justice Carl Singh; President of the Guyana Bar Association, Mr. Ronald Burch-Smith; and Mr. Christopher Ram of the UG Department of Law. In an invited comment, Mooting Committee representative, Carmilita Jamieson indicated that confirmation of attendance was received so far from the Attorney-General, the Guyana Bar Association President, and Mr. Christopher Ram. In previous years, UG law students were admitted in a batch of 25 per year to attend the Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad. As part of an agreement between the UWI’s CLE and UG, automatic placements were offered by the Council.

The Council, however, took the decision that UG’s 2014 batch, and onwards, would not be guaranteed any place at the institution, citing the need for capital injection into the Law School by the Government of Guyana.

Quite recently, however, a decision was made to uphold the agreement allowing for the automatic entry of the 25 students-at-law in the 2014 batch. The decision was made via teleconference last Monday, prompted by President Donald Ramotar.

The teleconference was chaired by CARICOM [Caribbean Community] Chair and Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Mr. Ralph Gonsalves, and included Chairperson of the Council for Legal Education, Ms. Jacqueline Samuels-Browne, QC; Head of the UG Law Department, Mr. Sheldon McDonald; and the Principals of the Hugh Wooding Law School, the Eugene Dupuch Law School, and the Norman Manley Law School; as well as Guyana’s Attorney-General.

Coming out of the decision, Mr. Nandlall urged that there ought to be a comprehensive review of legal education in the West Indies. He said that there should, similarly, be discussion at the level of the CARICOM Heads of Government meeting.

The law students, while recognising the decision for the 2014 batch as being a step forward, have expressed concerns since this is merely a temporary fix to a matter that could have lasting implications on Guyana’s legal profession.

The discussions will be centred on outlining short, medium and long term solutions that can afford future graduates an absolute solution regarding the completion of their legal education.

Chief of Staff urges recruits to ‘keep continuing education in focus’

THE Guyana Defence Force on Friday graduated 276 soldiers who have completed 10 weeks of training on its first Basic Recruit Course for the year.

The passing-out parade for this latest batch of entrants was held on the Drill Square at the Colonel John Clarke Military School at Tacama, Upper Berbice, the GDF said in a press release.

In his feature address to the new soldiers, Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Mark Phillips, congratulated the soldiers for their endurance, leading to their successful completion of the course. He expressed the hope that the process of training has instilled in the new soldiers, the qualities of serving correctly and being effective ambassadors of the GDF, and by extension the country.

In this regard, he singled out the core value of discipline, and stressed that to be good soldiers, they must also understand their rights and obligations under military law, and at all times practise and uphold the values and standards of the GDF. Importantly too, Brigadier Phillips reminded them that it was incumbent that they keep continuing education in focus as they perform their duties as soldiers.

Aries - March 21 - April 19 If you get the chance for a one-on-one meeting with your boss or if you’re asked to give an impromptu presentation, jump on it. You can further your personal agenda with the greatest of ease at the moment, and you’ll look great doing it. Your powers of communication are on fire, and you’re able to be simultaneously forceful and charming -- a winning combination, indeed. It’s a very good time to go after what you want.

Taurus - April 20 - May 20 You’ve got a real knack for interpersonal relationships at the moment. The ability to form a practically seamless connection -- with a friend, with a sweetheart, with a potential romantic interest -- comes to you like magic, and suddenly you two are completing each other’s sentences, laughing hysterically and making some great big new plans. The bonus is that you’re also thinking practically, and that’s making you able to see how this all fits into the fabric of your life.

Private Delroy Blackett receiving the ‘Best Student’ award from Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Mark Phillips

“During your career, work hard, be disciplined and make use of all the opportunities available to you for your professional and educational development,” he urged.

Three hundred and five recruits started training at the end of May but a total of 30 withdrew for various reasons. Two-thirds of the new soldiers were trained at the Colonel John Clarke Military School (CJCMS) at Tacama, while the others were trained at the GDF Base Camp Seweyo on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway.

Those trained at Seweyo have been posted to the technical and specialty units of the GDF, the release stated.

Delroy Blacket, a resident of Paradise Village on the East

Coast of Demerara and Brendon Holder of Mabaruma, North West District, graduated Best Students of the Seweyo and Tacama stints, respectively.

Vernon Harding, the rank who was injured in the accidental shooting incident, was also promoted to the rank of Private.

He continues to improve at the medical facilities at Base Camp Ayanganna.

The Basic Recruit Course provides induction training for entrants at the Ordinary Rank level. It is intended to produce fit, obedient, loyal and disciplined soldiers who possess high standards of skills and marksmanship abilities, the release added.

Gemini - May 21 - June 21 All sorts of different means of communication are in the stars, making for a possible communication overload. One minute you’re online messaging frantically while also answering email, the next minute you’re chatting with a friend by the watercooler; a visit from a busybody neighbour brings yet more stimuli. It all may end up raising more questions than providing answers, but luckily that’s the kind of environment you thrive in.

Cancer - June 22 - July 22 Your ability to think innovatively and come up with good solutions is more important than following the directions at the moment -- though while the person giving the directions is around, you may want to fake it. As your project evolves, however, your knack for being original will get you lots of positive attention, and others will be mighty receptive to your next big idea -- the bigger, the better.

Leo - July 23 - August 22 Expect the unexpected, and expect it to come in a rather obscure way. A project you thought was going to be a real dud could take on interesting (and resume-enhancing) new dimensions, motivating you anew to do some great work; or a coworker might suddenly come through with a hidden talent that’s exactly what your collaboration needed; even your romantic life could take a sudden (and perhaps scenic) detour from the path it’s on.

Virgo - August 23 - September 22 Your first response to an opinion or a piece of news from someone close to you may be a strong one, but you’ll want to avoid a knee-jerk reaction if at all possible. Give it a chance to settle in, and you may be able to regard it in a more philosophical light.

Whether you asked for this information or not, a better opportunity to express your feelings about it will present itself -- and you’ll be more thoughtful and coherent.

Libra - September 23 - October 22 It’s definitely time to take it easy, so look for a calm companion amid all the hubbub.

A little mellow rest and relaxation with someone you’re comfortable with -- an old friend, a sweetheart -- restores your tranquility in a very valuable way. A quiet cafe might be a fine idea, or even home sweet home. When the silences are just as nice as the talk and the laughter, you know you’re in the right place with the right person.

Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 You’re feeling very jolly these days and embracing it with impressive abandon. Maybe a giant splurge on an indulgent gift seems like a terrific idea, or possibly the party you’re planning is getting to be a pretty grand affair or maybe you’re just getting the plastic out a lot more than usual. If you’re comfortable with it, fine -- you can’t take it with you, after all. Just be aware that at some point, you’ll have to be more responsible.

Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21 Mundane responsibilities may be the last thing you want to deal with -- you’ve got bigger things on your mind and in your heart. However, your boss doubtless has a different take on what your priorities ought to entail. Meanwhile, your attitude is likely to be along the my-way-or-the-highway axis. You really can deal with this if you try to be a little bit obliging, and it might be a good idea to give it a whirl.

Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 You’re taking care of business in your usual conscientious, disciplined manner, and you’re exceedingly pragmatic and grounded right now. So grounded, in fact, that with your nose to the grindstone like that you might just miss some very enjoyable socialising -- of the romantic variety. Get your nose out of your work and your projects every so often to check out the human element around you -- and one human in particular.

Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 Being independent is all well and good, but sometimes you want the cosiness and comfort of being in a group of likeminded independent types. Luckily you’ve got a bunch of eccentric kindred spirits you can convene when you’re a little bored and desire a little company. Telling funny stories about years past, adding to the joy that is the present and looking together to the fun of the future sounds just about right.

Pisces - February 19 - March 20 Whatever inhibitions you usually harbour when it comes to talking about your feelings are being cast to the four winds, as you’re ready to communicate, communicate, communicate. Perhaps particularly when it comes to romantic matters, you really want to tell all. The trick is to carefully consider whose listening ears are going to get the earful. Consciously employ your intuition about who the right audience is.

West Front Road stuns Sparta...

From Backpage

out of play, even as Nagaloo was forced to thwart the efforts of Shem Porter, Leon Yaw and Phillip Rowley, who were on the attack for

Alexander Village.

Penalty kicks was used to decide a winner, following which Hubert Pedro missed the first kick for his team, sparking off loud whistles and cheers from the spectators who braved the overcast conditions and throng the venue to witness the action, while Eon Singh nailed his own for Alexander Village.

Nagaloo levelled the score from the spot, before Rowley pushed Alexander Village ahead, however, both Benjamin and Yaw missed their respective kicks, while Jamal Pedro and Benjamin scored theirs for West Front Road who advanced by a 3-2 scoreline.

In the second semifinal, Sparta Boss, like West Front Road, came up against a game Tiger Bay unit and after an intense first half, turned up the heat by using Phillips as a substitute for Edwards, to which the diminutive striker thrilled the crowd with his dazzling foot speed and dribbles.

One such move saw him eluding two of his markers, but his accurate pass to Sheldon was muffed, while Solomon Austin saw his shot pierced the line of players in front of Sparta Boss’ goal, but failed to get over the goal line.

A one-touch triangle play between Millington, Shep-

herd and Phillips in that order, saw Sparta Boss scoring their first of two goals in regulation time, as Phillips’ first time shot went through the legs of the defender and into the back of the net, much to the delight of his teammates and supporters, in the 19th minute.

One minute later and seconds before the final whistle was sounded, Phillips eluded Rensford Coleridge for the umpteenth time in the 20 minutes contest with a dribble called the nutmeg by his supporters, and sent a gem of a pass to Shepherd who made no mistake in finding the back of the goal.

There were two exhibition contests played in between the semifinals, which saw the Media XI maintaining their superiority over Qualfon, coming away with a 1-0 win in the first courtesy of Lionel Grimes’ goal, while Fusion and North East LaPenitence played to a nil all draw in the second.

Ansa McAl, DeSinco Trading, Colours Boutique, Clairann’s Boutique, Clear Water, Star Party Rentals, White Castle Fish Shop, and HJTV and its 94.1 Boom FM Radio were some of the sponsors who made this year’s tournament a possibility, to which the organiser Kevin Adonis wishes to say thanks.

Sangakkara reaches milestone as Sri Lanka build lead … Sri Lanka batsman scores seventh successive Test 50

By Tom Hayward LEEDS, England, (Reuters) - Kumar Sangakkara scored a world record equalling half century as Sri Lanka reached 214-4 at the end of the third day to leave the second test against England delicately poised yesterday.

The stylish Sangakkara became only the fourth player in Test history to score seven successive half centuries as Sri Lanka threatened to seize control but he fell for 55 as England took two late wickets to stall the visitors’ progress.

Having earlier polished off England’s first innings for 365, Sri Lanka ended the day 106 runs ahead.

Sangakkara, who joined Everton Weekes, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and former England coach Andy Flower to score seven consecutive test half 50s, shared a 79-wicket third-wicket partnership with Mahela Jayawardene (55 not out).

Part-time spinner Moeen Ali took two late wickets, however.

backs, but only after surviving reviews from both Ali and Liam Plunkett who himself had taken two wickets in the afternoon session.

“If we can have a good session early tomorrow we’ve seen on this wicket you can lose wickets in clusters so hopefully that can happen tomorrow,” Moeen said.

“Get a couple before the new ball and then rip through their tail.”

Resuming the day on 320 for six, England were torn apart by the Sri Lankan bowling attack with captain Mathews taking test-best figures of 4-44 and Shaminda Eranga taking 4-93.

Sri Lanka needed just one hour of the morning session to bowl the hosts out as England added just 45 runs to their overnight score, losing their last eight wickets for 87 runs.

In response James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Chris Jordan struggled to trouble the Sri Lanka openers, prompting Cook to bring Liam Plunkett into the attack.

The Yorkshire-seam-

er, who claimed test-best figures of 5-64 in the first innings, quickly accounted for Kaushal Silva (13).

Sangakkara made a streaky 79 in the first innings but the elegant left-hander was quickly into his stride with three sumptuous drives to the cover boundary.

At the other end Karunaratne (45) quietly accumulated runs but he became Plunkett’s second

Rosberg wins in Austria to stretch F1 lead

By Michael Shields

SPIELBERG Austria(Reuters) - Nico Rosberg won the Austrian Formula One Grand Prix in a Mercedes one-two finish on Sunday to stretch his championship lead over team mate Lewis Hamilton to 29 points after eight races.

Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, who had started on the front row, finished third and fourth respectively on a sunny afternoon at the Red Bull Ring in the southern Styrian hills.

The victory was Rosberg’s third of the season and his team’s seventh. It was also their sixth one-two finish of the year and came after Massa had ended their run of seven successive pole positions.

Rosberg now has 165 points to Hamilton’s 136 in the drivers’ standings with 11 rounds remaining.

“It was not the easiest of races, trying to manage

certain things which were right on the limit on the car.

But in the end I had a very, very fast car again,” said Rosberg, interviewed on the podium by former Red Bull racer Mark Webber.

“It was fantastic to win today. It was great also to get a one-two here in Austria.

It’s been great to come back here,” added the German.

Rosberg’s sixth career victory was also a personal milestone since it took him past his 1982 world champion father Keke’s tally of five.

In the first Grand Prix held in Austria since 2003, champions Red Bull were eclipsed at their own track with quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel retiring and Australian Daniel Ricciardo finishing eighth.

Vettel slowed to a cruise after the opening lap, complaining of a lack of drive, and although he got the car going again his race was over and he retired to save

the engine while 20th and a lap down on the leaders.

“It was all unfortunate, we would have loved to have given the local fans a lot more love here today,” said Ricciardo. “We tried to do all we could but unfortunately we couldn’t really get much more from the race today.”

FIRST PODIUM Mercedes have 301 points to Red Bull’s 143 in the constructors’ title battle, with double points on offer for the final race in Abu Dhabi.

Yesterday’s outcome was decided in the pitstops, with Rosberg starting third and Massa leading smoothly away from pole while Hamilton sliced through the field from ninth to fourth at the end of lap one.

Bottas, celebrating his first Formula One podium, led briefly after Massa’s first stop that saw the Brazilian drop down the order. The Finn was ec-

static with his team’s best performance since 2012.

“It’s been a long way for us since last year and many many years at Williams.

Now it’s so much better,” said Bottas, who scored just four points in all of 2013.

“The race was exactly what we needed at this point, clean, nice, everything went like planned. The car was good for a podium this time and I’m so happy.”

“Welcome to the club,” Ronaldo tweeted. “I can only imagine your happiness!!! What a great World Cup!!!”

Belgium go through, Algeria enjoy record rout

By Rex Gowar CUIABA Brazil (Reuters) - Highly-fancied Belgium booked a place in the World Cup last 16 with a late goal in a pedestrian 1-0 win over Russia leaving Algeria to light up Group H by routing South Korea 4-2 with a scoring spree yesterday.

Belgium teenager Divock Origi became the youngest scorer so far at this tournament when he secured victory with a sharp shot into the roof of the Russia net from Eden Hazard’s devastating run down the left and pinpoint cutback.

Algeria, who lost 2-1 to Belgium in their first match, tore the ramshackle Koreans apart, scoring the highest number of goals by an African team in a World Cup match.

It was the joint second-highest scoring match of the Brazil finals so far after France’s 5-2 victory over Switzerland and equalled the Netherlands’ 5-1 thumping of title holders Spain.

Islam Slimani and Rafik

L - R) Algeria’s Mohamed Lamine Zemmamouche, Rafik Halliche, Nabil Bentaleb, Yacine Brahimi, Essaid Belkalem and Sofiane Feghouli celebrate their win over South Korea after their 2014 World Cup Group H soccer match at the Beira Rio stadium in Porto Alegre, yesterday.

Halliche stunned the Koreans with two goals in two minutes and Abdelmoumene Djabou added a third to give Algeria a 3-0 lead at the interval.

They became the third team to score three firsthalf goals at this tournament after Germany in their 4-0 win over Portugal and France in their rout of

the Swiss.

South Korea pulled one back through Son Heung-min, who turned to shoot between goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi’s legs in the 50th

minute.

Yacine Brahimi scored the goal that set the African record just after the hour and took the steam out of the Korea rally before Koo Ja-cheol pulled another goal back.

Algeria go into their last group match against Russia on Thursday in second place with three points, two more than both Fabio Capello’s side and the Koreans, looking to reach the last 16 for the first time.

“We did analyse the strategies but the result was such that I could say it was not well done,” South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo told reporters.

“The result speaks for itself... Since we conceded a lot of goals, there was a strategic mistake on our part.”

‘FITNESS THE KEY’ Once Belgium’s celebrations are over, coach Marc Wilmots will need to reflect on their scoring difficulties if they are to confirm their status as dark horses in the knockout phase.

The match at the Maracana, which rivalled Nigeria’s 0-0 draw with Iran as one of the worst in a tournament which has been mostly thrilling, was brightened up

by Origi’s late strike.

Capello was pleased with the performance of Russia, who host the next finals in 2018, saying they did not deserve to lose.

Wilmots was not too bothered with the manner of the victory and, along with Hazard, said fitness was the key.

“To advance in a tournament, you don’t always need to be pretty. I believe that you need to be efficient,” said Wilmots, who played for Belgium at three World Cup tournaments.

“There’s something clear in football. Levels of physical fitness count in a World Cup.” he added.

“I know how to make the difference. When I make the difference, I often do it at the end of the match and that shows that I am fresh,” said Hazard.

Returning hero Murray ready for business as usual

By Sam Holden LONDON (Reuters) - Wimbledon welcomes back a British men’s singles champion for the first time in 78 years today but Andy Murray says he will allow himself only a brief moment to milk the adulation before getting down to business.

Not since Fred Perry’s return as defending champion in 1936, when he went on to win retain the title in his last appearance at the tournament, has the All England Club been able to celebrate the achievements of a home favourite on the opening day of the championships.

After his momentous defeat of Serbia’s Novak Djokovic on the final Sunday last July, Murray has the honour of opening proceedings on Centre Court against Belgium David Goffin in what he hopes will be the first step to retaining his title.

“I think tomorrow, I need to enjoy that moment when I walk back on the court,” the world number five, told reporters.

“But as soon as I start playing the match it’s about trying to win. I enjoy winning. That’s it. I mean I don’t really want to go out on the court tomorrow and enjoy playing and then

“But I think, always when you come back to a Grand Slam, there’s always nerves and pressure there before you start the event.”

Since that landmark win against Djokovic, not everything has gone to plan for Murray.

Back surgery ended his 2013 season after the U.S. Open and despite recovering well he has not found the same levels of consistency.

He has also parted ways with coach Ivan Lendl, under whose guidance he became a

two-times grand slam champion.

He has only played two competitive matches on grass this year, losing to veteran Radek Stepanek in the third round of the Queen’s club warm-up event - his first tournament with new coach Amelie Mauresmo watching on.

There is no sense of anxiety though from the Scot.

“This has been my most consistent tournament throughout my career,” Murray said. “I’d always played

pretty good tennis here.”

“Last year, the final was definitely the most pressure I’d felt in all the years I’d played here.

“But I believe if I play my best tennis, I’ll give myself a chance of doing well here, you know, putting myself in a position to win the tournament.

“But you can’t start off slowly in these tournaments. You need to try and be on it from the first match. I’ll be ready for tomorrow.”

Thompson, Ahye star with world-leading times

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) – Resurgent sprinter Richard Thompson smashed the Trinidad and Tobago national record as he streaked to a world-leading 9.82 seconds at the National Championships here Saturday.

The Olympic medallist, who has been in incredible form this season, dismissed challenges from defending champion Keston Bledman who was second in ten seconds flat, and former World junior champion Darrel Brown who was third in 10.05 seconds.

Marc Burns was fourth in 10.21 while Rondel Sorrillo finished fifth in 10.23.

The previous national record of 9.85 seconds was set by Thompson three years ago.

Thompson told the Trinidad Express newspaper the national record had not been his focus entering the race.

“I’m thrilled with the performance. I didn’t come in chasing any time. The national record was the furthest thing from my mind,” said the 29-year-old who as good enough to land bronze in the 100 metres at the Beijing Olympics six years ago.

“I knew I had a quality field to deal with, people like Rondel Sorrillo, Darrel Brown, Keston Bledman, Marc Burns, the usual suspects.”

Thompson’s time reiterated his form this season. Earlier this month, he clocked 9.95 seconds at the IAAF World Challenge Meeting in Hengelo and then followed up with victory in the Diamond League, speeding to 10.02 seconds at the Bislett Games in Norway.

Late last month, Thompson clocked 9.74 seconds to win at the National Training Centre/Pure Athletics Last Chance Meet, in Florida. The time, however, was not ratified because the wind was above the legal limit.

reduce the size of the current board, cut their power in half and give 50% of it to independent directors.

Among the other recommendations were to establish term limits for board members, redefine membership categories and introduce athlete representation into the board.

However, Beazley was unable to get the recommendations ratified at the 2013 USACA AGM held in Florida

last November. Instead, a governance implementation committee was established with USACA stating that changes were not expected to be reviewed and voted on by members until the summer of 2014. According to the most recent announcement made on Friday, the governance implementation committee will submit its final recommendations to the USACA board

by July 4.

The USACA board will

then give its final recommendations to members for review by July 16. USACA plans to hold a series of town hall meetings from July 16 to August 10 to get feedback from members regarding recommendations to be implemented before the final vote is taken at the AGM on August 16.

USACA’s release states it expects more than 80% of leagues in the country to vote on the new constitution.

However, it is currently unknown how many leagues are still members of USACA with more than a dozen having left to join the rival American Cricket Federation.

The list of USACA’s member leagues has not been updated on the board’s website since 2012. USACA’s release on Friday stated that leagues will have until July 11 to fulfill membership requirements in order to be eligible to vote.

Guyana Amazon Warriors determined to take title of Limacol CPL champions KINGSTON, Jamaica: Having reached the finals held at the Queen’s Park Oval in the inaugural Limacol CPL last year, the Guyana Amazon Warriors are heading into the 2014 tournament with renewed vigour and determination to walk away with the title.

Head Coach, Roger Harper, spoke exclusively to cplt20.com about this year’s squad, key players and the party that is CPL. Looking ahead to this season, Harper is thrilled to be back for another CPL experience; “I am truly delighted to be back

Coach Roger Harper says team is ‘on a mission’ and then finished second, again. Last season I would so now we see the areas we say was a success for us, need to work on in order we topped the group stages to improve.”

Harper (who coached the West Indies during the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa), also said he is more than happy with his 15-man squad for the 2014 tournament.

“We have seven Guyanese players in our team, in addition to a few new players like, New Zealander, Corey Anderson, who is making his name on the international cricket stage, and Navin Stewart from Trinidad and Tobago who is a solid all-rounder.”

While he is disappointed not to have one of the Warriors’ most influential players from last season, James Franklin, he feels

Have we seen the last of Mr Marlon Samuels?

THE West Indies and visitors New Zealand are involved in a keen tussle for bragging rights in the three-match Test cricket series, with each winning a match of the two completed so far.

Significantly though, following their heavy defeat to New Zealand in the opening match at Sabina Park, the West Indies were forced to make three changes, one of them through injury, a move that resulted in victory for the home team.

Wi n d w a r d I s l a n d s spinner Shane Shillingford, who performed reasonably with the ball in the first match and scored a second innings half-century, was ruled out by injury.

Leeward Islands opener Kieran Powell, who flopped in both innings of the first Test with low scores, was also axed, and the most prominent name of the lot, Marlon Samuels, was also left off the squad, not due solely to the zero that he made in both innings of the match, we are told, but also the continued decline of the relationship that he has with other members of the squad, which West Indies team officials have said was contributing to discord among

Marlon Samuels

members.

We know for sure that Samuels does not share good relations with a majority of the members of the West Indies team, top among them Chris Gayle, with whom he enjoyed a seemingly inseparable friendship up to last year.

That, too, appears to be the case with Samuels and members of the Jamaica national cricket team, as according to our sources, only Messrs Sheldon Cotterell and Carlton Baugh Jnr, both of whom have represented the West Indies, get on well with him.

The claim of a breakdown in relationship between Samuels and members of the Jamaica and the West Indies teams, is

one that we take seriously and ought to be addressed publicly by the West Indies Cricket Board, if rampant speculation on the matter is to be reduced.

Mr Samuels is an incredible talent, starting from his days as an outstanding cricketer at Kingston College, through his time as a member of Jamaica’s team that won the first West Indies Under 15 tournament, the regional Under 19 competition and into his playing days for Jamaica and the West Indies.

Readers will recall that he made his debut for the West Indies as a 19-yearold on a tour of Australia in 2000, despite playing only one match before for the land of his birth in 1996.

Mr Samuels rose above his controversial two-year ban by the International Cricket Council in 2008 to re-stake his claim as a cricketer of class and merit upon his return to the crease in 2010. Even a ban on the bowling of his faster ball last year, we believe, was not enough to affect the career of one who promised to deliver so much.

Who can forget his brilliant performance that guided the West Indies to victory over Sri Lanka in the Twenty/20 World Cup held in 2012, and he being named one of Wisden’s Cricketers of the Year in 2013?

The 33-year-old Samuels has so far played 52 Test matches, while averaging 34.68 from 2,983 runs. On the one-day international circuit, Samuels, a man whose elegance typifies his batting, has played 159 times and scored 3,951 runs at a 31.35 average. In the more exciting Twenty/20 international format, he has scored 834 runs from his 35 matches for the West Indies.

For his sake, we hope that those figures do not remain fixed in history.

(Extracted from JAMAICA OBSERVER)

his team is one to be reckoned with.

“James Franklin delivered the x-factor last season and I am very disappointed not to have him back. I do however believe that we have a squad capable of giving any team a hard time.”

When the 6’4” Harper spoke about the CPL as a whole, he was positive; “The Limacol CPL is a massive hit in the Caribbean, it truly has elements for everyone to enjoy. The fans, the players, the media, the entertainment – it is just a great atmosphere for public enjoyment.”

In each CPL squad, a team can have up to four overseas players – something Harper believes is positive. “I think four is a good number as it allows local and regional players to shine on the big stage and because it provides a good, solid structure, competition for places will be stiff.”

One player that Harper and the Warriors’ fans will be looking to see is Jamaican, Krishmar Santokie, a player who Harper thinks has only got better in the past 11 months. “Krishmar Santokie is a hugely valuable asset to my team.

He is an intelligent and determined player and I am very happy to have retained him. He deserves all the success he is reaping and it’s great that he is now in the Windies T20 Team.”

Finally, Harper had a message for the fans of Guyana to; “please come out and support your Warriors.

We are on a mission and we need you to help us! We promise to do our best and make you all proud”.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors will open the Limacol CPL 2014 when they take on the Antigua Hawksbills on July 11th in the National Cricket Stadium, Grenada.

Both finalists were the recipients of turf boots and balls, while for the win, each player on the West Front Road lineup received a pair of football boots, with both sets of boots being donated with the kind compliments of Clairann’s Boutique and Exclusive Styles respectively.

In addition to the above, West Front Road pocketed $300,000 and atrophy, leaving their defeated opponents to carry home $200,000 and the runner-up trophy.

In the first semifinal, West Front Road went up against a determined Alexander Village lineup, a contest that produced intense action from the opening whistle to the last one, with Benjamin missing a clear cut chance to put West Front Road ahead early in the second half.

Jamal Pedro also missed such an opportunity, followed by Wagner whose shot hit the left side post of the small goal and ricochet

Portugal strike late to draw with U.S. and stay alive

By David Ljunggren MANAUS Brazil (Re-

uters) - Portuguese substitute Silvestre Varela grabbed a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw with the United States in World Cup Group G yesterday.

Just as it looked as though the Americans had secured a come-from-behind victory to qualify for the second round, Varela scored with a flying header from a Cristiano Ronaldo cross.

Clint Dempsey had given the United States the lead in the 81st minute, steering the ball home with his stomach from close range.

Portugal had taken an early lead and then sat back in the heat and humidity, allowing the Americans to start dominating.

It was little surprise when midfielder Jermaine Jones cut in from the left in the 64th minute and fired in a superb right- foot curling shot from 25 metres to equalise.

The result means the U.S. are in second place, level with Germany on four points, and Portugal are third with one and face a tough task to make the next round.

Portugal took the lead in the fifth minute when U.S. defender Geoff Cameron swung a foot at a Miguel Veloso cross and succeeded only in slicing the ball across his own area right to the feet
