Luncheon, Hardt meeting today on controversial LEAD project By Vanessa Narine

THE $300M USAID-funded Leadership and Democracy (LEAD) project, which has stirred controversy since its rejection by the current Guyana Administration, is to be the subject of discussion today between Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS) and Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon, and United States (U.S.) Ambassador, Mr. Brent Hardt. Dr Luncheon confirmed this yesterday at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference, held at Office of the President. He said today’s scheduled meeting follows a communication to Hardt, making clear the Government’s position on the ongoing implementation of the programme. At his previous press conference, on April 17, the HPS had said: “I do believe we have been specific on our position on this matter. It seems that we have either not been heard or not understood and, therefore, an effort must be made to characterise the Government’s position with the greatest degree of finality.” Dr Luncheon, yesterday, declined to comment on whether or not the LEAD implementation was halted to facilitate today’s talks, given his firm stance that the Government of Guyana will not negotiate with the U.S. under duress. He reiterated the Government’s commitment to re-engage in talks on the matter but stated that the Government will not discuss a rejected scheme whilst it is being implemented, despite strongly stated objections to it. The HPS, yesterday, also clarified comments he made last week, in citing April 9

as the date that Hardt made “provoking” revelations in speaking about implementing the LEAD programme. He said Hardt’s remarks were made on March 27, not April 9, but maintained they spoke to premeditation.

boost citizen engagement with Parliament. The third aspect of LEAD is to motivate and better equip Guyanese youths to constructively engage in political and civic processes, and the fourth involves civic and voter education relating

“Bad faith comes to mind immediately, readily, but non-disclosure of the continued implementation of the disapproved project, even in the midst of the fervor to have the bilateral engagement concluded to our mutual satisfaction, speaks of premeditation,” Dr Luncheon insisted last week. According to him, the Guyana Government was horrified in discovering a project on conflict resolution, while, at the same time, the “one party” was implementing the components of a controversial project in its entirety. The first component of it seeks to encourage consensus-building in the National Assembly and facilitate more effective interaction between the Assembly and citizens. The second component aims to strengthen the effectiveness of the National Assembly and

to elections and local government reform. The consensus of several stakeholder groups which have registered concerns over the U.S. position on going ahead with LEAD is that it is recognised that the American organisation - the International Republican Institute (IRI) tasked with the implementing the project, also has a reputation for interference in the internal politics of a country. STILL PROCEEDING Government had written to the U.S. Ambassador seeking clarification following reports that components of the spurned USAID funded LEAD were still proceeding, despite the Administration’s objection to its design. The response received from the U.S. Embassy called

on the Government to engage the U.S. on parts of it such as the design and the last engagement on it was in April between Ambassador Hardt and President Donald Ramotar. Additionally, prior to that April conversation with the Head of State, the U.S. Ambassador, at a Rotary event in February this year, said: “While we certainly do seek close and productive ties with governments, we are also reaching beyond governments to forge new partnerships with people and civic groups. “…we are promoting an array of education exchanges, public outreaches, through new media such as Facebook, boosting entrepreneurism, working with young people, and supporting free and vibrant media outlets.” To date, the U.S. Embassy has made no public statement with regard to the Government’s firm position on it. In a prior interview, Presidential Advisor on Governance, Ms. Gail Teixeira had said the current position of U.S. officials is a departure from the usual bilateral relations existing between the two countries. She said: “The problem

with the LEAD project is that it is a breach of the normal bilateral relations, as well as that the content has concerns for the Government, concerns which we expressed. “This is the first time in 20 years that a project has not gone through that process. It has never happened between 1992 and 2012 and we are not agreeing to it because of the rejection of the Government’s participation.” Teixeira was questioned why the Government was not involved in consultations on the undertaking. She said the Guyana Government and the American Administration have worked together over the last decades on U.S. funded projects. “It has always been a collaborative effort, in which we have agreed on a design of a project and the implementation of that project,” Teixeira remarked. Referring to examples of unchallenged execution of projects that addressed the issue of democracy, she recalled: “I was part of other projects that dealt with democracy: the Consolidation of Democracy project, which ran from 2004 to 2006; and the more recent one, from 2009 to 2012, which dealt with

trafficking in persons and violence against women and such. SIGNED OFF “In all of this, we sat with USAID and the U.S. Embassy to consult on the project over several days, some several weeks and we came to agreement and the projects were signed off,” Teixeira remembered. She maintained, therefore, that the Government’s position has been made clear and remains unchanged in relation to LEAD. “Were the LEAD project to have gone through the protocol over the last 20 years, we, probably, would have come to an agreement and fine-tuned the number of concerns we had, which we have had with other projects with USAID,” Teixeira speculated. She said what was provided to Government was a “done deal” rejected primarily on that basis. “The main problem is the way in which the project is being implemented,” Teixeira repeated. The process was not approved by Cabinet and this was formally indicated to the relevant authorities on October 26, 2013.

Labourer dies in industrial accident at new Giftland mall’s construction site By Shirley Thomas

LESS than one week before April 28, slated for the observance of International Occupational Health and Safety Day, 28-year-old Jeremey Ames tragically lost his life at the construction site of the new Giftland OfficeMax Mall at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara. The labourer, of Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, was said to have been working in a container yesterday when a large quantity of dislodged mirrors which were to be installed in washrooms and walkways of the

massive shopping complex, each measuring about 12 ft x 10 ft, came crashing down on him, killing him almost instantly. Other employees on the scene rushed to Ames’s assistance; but judging from the weight and quantity of mirrors, it is very likely he had died almost instantly on being hit. His body did not appear to have suffered extensive mutilation, but he is believed to have sustained several broken limbs and massive internal injuries. He was rushed to the Woodlands Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on

arrival, plunging his relatives in deep and inconsolable grief. Ames had been working with the company for the last three months. His body was later removed to the Lyken Funeral Parlour on Norton Street in Newburg, Georgetown. An autopsy is expected to be performed tomorrow. Earlier this week, 18-year-old Wazeem Samad of Mon Repos was working at the construction site of the Camp Street Food Court, off the corner of Camp Street and North Road, when he fell to the ground through the elevator shaft hole three storeys up from the six-storey building

now under construction. Wazeem suffered injuries to his head and face, and is currently in the Male Surgical Ward of the Georgetown Public Hospital. The carpentry sub-contractor Richard Collins, under whom Wazeem worked, refuted claims that his men work without the protection of occupational health and safety gear. He said that he, at all times, insists that the men secure such gear and be suitably attired for the task at hand before beginning to work. Nevertheless, when Wazeem Samad fell, he was wearing no helmet. Collins told the Guyana Chronicle that when Samad fell, he was just proceeding on lunch break and had taken off his safety gear. Samad’s fall, suffered last Saturday, has brought to three the number of such incidents at that particular worksite. Collins agrees, but he could not say what systems are being put in place to avoid such recurrences, and what compensation arrangement is being worked out to take care of the injured man for the time he would be off the job and unable to work. And about two months ago, another worker at the five-storey Boxer’s Jewellery edifice under construction on Hadfield Street fell from the fifth floor to the ground, and was wearing no safety gear at the time. He, too, lives at Mon Repos, and had been hospitalised at the GPHC. World Day for Safety and Health at Work is being observed on April 28, 2014. The day was declared by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to promote the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases globally. World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an awareness-raising campaign “intended to focus international attention on emerging trends in the field of occupational safety and health, and on the magnitude of work-related injuries, diseases and fatalities worldwide”.

Taxi driver shot in feud over female By Leroy Smith TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Rawle Braithwaite of South Ruimveldt Park in the City was shot in the buttocks yesterday afternoon in a running feud between himself and another man. The taxi driver was accused of having a relationship with the ‘child mother’ of the assailant and the two had an argument on Tuesday night about that. However, yesterday afternoon while Braithwaite was hanging out on the corner at the Exit in South Ruimveldt, at a car wash, the man with whom he had the argument the night before showed up. Braithwaite’s friend told this publication that when the man rode up to the corner on his cycle, he tried to get the attention of the taxi driver and began rushing up to him stating that he (Rawle) knew what he (the assailant) has, referring to his gun. Upon hearing those words, Rawle reportedly rush to arm himself with a piece of wood to confront the man but by then the man reportedly whipped out his firearm and fired a shot at Braithwaite which struck him to the buttocks. The injured man was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital. One man who spoke with this publication stated that the two were friends for some time and that Rawle did indeed know that the assailant was the holder of an unlicensed firearm but never reported that to the authorities. Up to late last evening, Braithwaite was still being treated for his gunshot wound while the police continued their hunt for the gunman who, after shooting the taxi driver, jumped on his cycle and rode away.

Gov’t exploring ways to disburse $10,000 cash grant

HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon said Cabinet is currently exploring ways through which the $10,000 per child cash grant can be disbursed. This provision is one of the many measures outlined in the recently passed 2014 national budget, and caters for each nursery, primary and secondary school student in Guyana. “The main focus is access…whether the access would be unfettered, essentially open-ended and the parents have absolute discretion…,” the HPS explained. Cabinet is also looking at ways through which this disbursement could contribute to a cashless transaction or at least promote the development of financial services in Guyana. The Ministries of Finance and Education and entrepreneurs alike have all recognised that handling disbursements in a cashless transaction can enhance the improvement of the financial sector. Dr. Luncheon said ‘cashless’ does not involve an actual cash transfer; instead, a voucher can be given to the parents as is done in the uniform assistance programme, whereby specific items of clothing and other school requirements can be purchased. The other possibility is not exactly cashless, whereby public officers could receive this grant along with their salaries and other emoluments which are deposited in bank accounts. This cash grant initiative by the Government will benefit approximately 188,406 families and will cost a total of $2B.

France, Spain assign new envoys to Guyana - in bid to forge closer ties

GUYANA and the Kingdom of Spain yesterday pledged to step up bilateral cooperation in various fields, as President Donald Ramotar received Letters of Credence for the newly-appointed non-resident ambassador of that country to Guyana, Mr Jose Maria Fernandez Lopez. Also presenting Letters of Credence to President Ramotar yesterday was newly-accredited Ambassador of France, Mr Michael Prom. Ambassador Lopez said Guyana would find in Spain a strong ally, and a reliable partner that wants to expand its bilateral relationship in several areas, including the establishment of treaties,

policies, and political cooperation and in trade and investment. With Spain being the second largest investor in Latin America and the Caribbean, Ambassador Lopez said it is therefore relevant and feasible for it to increase the volume of its trade with Guyana, especially in areas where Spain has comparative advantage such as tourism, technology, industry and renewable energy. According to President Ramotar, since Guyana and Spain formally established diplomatic ties on October 2, 1979, the relationship has been based on shared ideals and a determination to work together for the development

of the people of both countries in a climate of peace, justice, equality, respect for human rights and the sovereignty of nations. He said that the areas identified by Spain for expanding relations coincide with the issues on Guyana’s national development agenda that focus on building a sustainable economy, encouraging trade and investment, and strengthening partnership with like-minded countries. This being the case, the President said Guyana looks forward to developing a programme of cooperation with Spain that would enhance the profile of relations between the two countries, to

Keith Burrowes is new Go-Invest CEO

EXECUTIVE Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest), Mr Keith Burrowes has now been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the country’s premier investment agency. This announcement was made by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon at his post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday at Office of the President. Known for holding several concurrent portfolios, Burrowes had been serving as Chairman of GO-Invest, but Dr Luncheon explained that he has been relieved of that appointment, and is now only the CEO. GO-Invest was established under the Public Corporations Act of 1994 as a semi-autonomous body and falls directly under the purview of Office of the President. The CEO answers to a Board of Directors, which comprises representatives of both the private and public sectors. Over the years, Mr Burrowes held several managerial positions in the public, private and diplomatic sectors, and KEITH BURROWES also sat on the boards of several entities both in the public and private sectors. These include Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL) – the Printer and Publisher of the Chronicle newspapers; Chairman of the Guyana National Co-operative Bank (GNCB); General Manager of GAIBANK/GNCB; and Head of the Health Sector Development Unit within the Ministry of Health. He was also the Financial Administrator of PAHO Guyana Office. In August 2012, Burrowes was appointed advisor to President Donald Ramotar on financial matters. He is also known for his work in the probe into the discrepancies at the Georgetown City Council where he Chaired the Commission of Inquiry into the Operations of the Mayor and City Council, and later Head of its Debt Recovery Unit.

their mutual benefit. Again, as Guyana prepares to host the next CARICOM-Spain Joint Commission in May, President Ramotar said he hoped the mechanism will continue to provide the platform for solid collaboration between Spain and CARICOM, and also allow for the consolidation of technical cooperation. The President also commended Spain’s investment in several areas in CARICOM, and advised that Guyana is actively considering that country’s request for its support with regards to seeking membership to the United Nations Security Council. Ambassador Prom, meanwhile, also pledged to deepen ties between France and Guyana, identifying the

fight against global warming as one area for strengthening relations, a fight he openly acknowledged that Guyana has long been in the forefront of. He also listed culture, education, and sport and security as other areas of possible cooperation. Conceding that there is a whole lot our two countries can do to strengthen the relationship they already enjoy, President Ramotar said that at previous high-level exchanges between the two countries, the Government of Guyana had underscored the potential of cooperation in tourism, environmental protection and sustainable development, and security and creating links. At this point, he took the opportunity to thank France for its on-going programmes

of assistance to Guyana in the area of Law Enforcement, noting that such help is particularly welcome in these times of increased security challenges. He said that Guyana looks forward to exploring mechanisms to implement activities in other areas that would take the two countries’ bi-lateral relationship to a new level. The President also expressed Guyana’s appreciation for France’s approval of a Guyanese Honorary Consul in French Guiana. He expressed confidence that the appointment would allow for the promotion of trade and business opportunities between Guyana and French Guiana. (GINA)

GUYANA

Debunking Greenidge’s claim to glory IN light of the collective Opposition’s (including their supporting media houses and NGOs) attempts to restructure this nation’s history and whitewash the image of Carl Greenidge, this editorial features part of Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall’s 2012 Budget speech. Nandlall averred that the 2012 Budget is simply a page taken from the developmental agenda of the PPP/C administration; an agenda which commenced in 1993, whereby 2012 marked 19 years of development hence. He said his perception is that there is an expectation that Budget 2012 should contain a solution to every single economic, social, political and every other problem extant in Guyana, and opined that no budget in the world can achieve that phenomenon. Nandlall reiterated in that address that the 2012 Budget (as are recurrent/consecutive PPP/C budgets) is only one page of a programme that Government hopes will transform the economic, social and physical landscape of Guyana, which, he asserted, is intended to make transformational changes in the lives and livelihoods of the Guyanese people. This, obviously, is the ultimate aim of the PPP/C’s developmental plan; work that Nandlall posited has been in progress over the then 19 years of PPP/C administration’s stewardship of the nation. He claimed that the progress that the government has made has been monumental, and stressed that for there to be an appreciation of the magnitude of this progress, then it is necessary to revisit the state of the country when the PPP/C acceded to the highest administrative office in the land in October of 1992, which, he contended, normally evokes much adverse reaction from the Opposition collective – the APNU and AFC. He, however, argued that “unless we examine from where we started twenty years ago, the immense progress and transformational changes that the PPP/C Government has wrought in this country cannot be fully appreciated.” Drawing attention to three budget speeches delivered in the National Assembly by former Finance Minister in the PNC administration, Carl Greenidge, which apparently members of the current political Opposition, including Greenidge himself, had difficulty in accessing, the Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs came under harsh criticism from the opposition benches; but he pointed out that he had simply requested from the Clerk of the National Assembly copies of Greenidge’s Budget presentations, and was duly provided same.

The AG declared: “What I found when I read them (Greenidge’s Budget speeches), it was like a death announcement; one pronouncement after another. The death of economic growth; the death of so many industries. Every single sector declined in performance. At the end of it, the economy was bankrupt,” which, Nandlall contended, is a fact that no-one can dispute. However, it was a vain hope on his part because Nandlall’s disclosures elicited an explosive outburst from the Opposition benches, as is normal when their past and abysmal performance in governance is exposed to the current generation of voters. Nandlall, however, reiterated that Guyana’s economy was bankrupt when the PPP/C inherited it, with no foreign reserves. Continuing to refer to Greenidge’s Budget speeches, Nandlall declared: “We had several bouts of whopping devaluations: Ten to one; thirty-three to one; from thirty-three to one to one-hundred-and-one to one…” Responding to his own query on the expanse of the devaluation, Nandlall enumerated a few, among which were constant decline of GDP; an unserviceable debt burden on the nation; serious balance-of-payment deficiencies, which he said Greendige could not explain, and frankly referred to as an “economic disequilibrium”. The infrastructure, recalled Nandlall, was “in complete tatters;” whereupon there was another loud outburst from the Opposition benches, which constrained Nandlall to indicate the passages in Greenidge’s Budget speeches of 1990, 1991, and 1992 from where he was quoting. Explaining that he had marked the relevant passages, Nandlall began to read directly from Greenidge’s Budget speeches: “The fiscal imbalance, which has been of major concern and the pre-occupation of an economic policy, has now been narrowed…,” but he was not allowed to continue, due to constant interruptions, and loud protests from the opposition benches. Nandlall, however, maintained that “…these documents pronounced the economic death of Guyana,” emphasizing that the only things on the rise under PNC rule were inflation and the underground economy. And this was during the much-touted recovery under Hoyte’s leadership. Conversely, he stressed that under the stewardship of the PPP/C administration, the economy has somersaulted to achieving a strong macro-economic infrastructure; the highest ever foreign reserves; a reduction of interest rate from 32.5% to 4.5%; economic growth that was in the negative prior to 1992 is now consistently at an average of 4.4%, with 5.4% growth recorded in 2011, which he noted had been achieved

by Guyana in an adverse global and regional economic environment. Nandlall continued to adumbrate the achievements of successive PPP/C administrations since 1992: “We have a strong balance-of-payment position, and our economy is at its strongest and largest ever; and, of course, I would not go into the Government’s plethora of social programmes which are benefitting the people countrywide…” because, as he pointed out, the sector ministers are quite capable of doing so. He nevertheless noted that among other social programmes, all of them having great positive impacts on the lives of the Guyanese people, in excess of 100,000 persons have been housed through the government’s housing programme, with 6,500 more projected to similarly benefit in 2012, pointing out that the PNC did not have a housing policy, not even a housing ministry. He highlighted the fact that although the lands had always been there, Guyanese people lived in much squalor under difficult circumstances until the PPP/C Government began transforming cow pastures, cane fields, rice fields and other abandoned areas into affordable housing schemes that enabled persons who never had a hope of owning their own homes to live under their own roofs, with all the implications of wealth generation and wealth creation possibilities. Nandlall emphasised, “We had to build the land up; make roads; dig drains; install water…electricity, and then we allocated the land, ensuring that the people received their transports and titles.” Continuing, he reminded the House: “…and then we went to the commercial banks and negotiated low-interest loan programmes; a complete loan package unparalleled in any other part of the world.” The foregoing is a minute part of Nandlall’s 2012 Budget speech, in which he debunked all of Greenidge’s contentions, using that PNC former Finance Minister’s own words to portray the real historical facts, and not the figments of the Opposition cabal’s imagination that is continuously parlayed in the National Assembly and through misleading news reports.

The Education Minister pays keen attention to this ‘Green House’ project

This student explaining her project to Minister Priya Manickchand, Chief Education Officer Olato Sam and Region Two Chairman Parmanand Persaud yesterday.

MINISTER of Education Ms. Priya Manickchand yesterday, at Anna Regina Secondary School on the Essequibo Coast, declared open the National Science, Mathematics and Technology Fair 2014. Theme for the event was ‘Science, Mathematics and Technology: providing solutions for the 21st Century.’ At the opening ceremony, there was representation of the 10 Administrative Regions of Guyana and the Minister said it was the biggest science fair to date. “We are in a better place than we have ever been in the education system in our country today. Guyana’s education system is at a place in our country’s history where we are poised for takeoff. We can achieve this significant milestone and growth in this sector because of specific and calculated strategic and very conscious investments being made in this sector,” Minister Man-

ickchand said. She stated further that Guyana has achieved universal primary education and the Education Ministry is currently working to achieve universal secondary education across the country. “If we are to measure, tangibly, what the Government has done for this sector, in 1992, five percent of the National Budget was spent on education and, in 2013, we utilised 15.9 percent of the National budget. This is the Government’s commitment to see Guyana do better,” she posited. BETTER COMPENSATIONS Manickchand also related that “we now have over 70 percent trained teachers within the Education sector and the sector is currently discussing better compensations for the teachers but this cannot be done overnight.” Assistant Director of the Caribbean Science Foundation (Barbados) and Chief Judge at the Science Fair 2014, Ms. Lois Oliver ex-

pressed gratitude to the Ministry for affording her the opportunity to take part in this year’s event and told the parents and students that “being a nerd is cool; because of nerds we have advanced technologically today.” She also advised the parents to encourage their children in whatever ideas they have concocted and assist them in making it a reality. The Guyana Chronicle, after the opening, spoke with some of the students about what were exhibited and they treated visitors to informative sessions on their respective projects and the aims. Some students were delighted at being part of the fair, as they believe that it provides a challenge to their young minds and helps them to increase their knowledge base to become great thinkers and better students. The exhibits will be judged on presentation, creativity, students’ response to questions and relevance to the development of the environment, originality and economic and environmental benefits to the country.

‘Definitive answer’ to budget – HPS cuts lies with judiciary By Vanessa Narine

THE 2014 Appropriations Bill has not as yet been placed before President Donald Ramotar for assent, according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon. That bill reflects the budgetary allocations approved by the National Assembly. This year, the combined Opposition amended the National Estimates by cutting a whopping $37.4B from the allocations of $220B; making this, the third consecutive year of cuts under President Donald Ramotar’s administration, the largest reduction in the estimates since the commencement of the 10th Parliament. The National Budget for 2014 was passed by the National Assembly on April 16. Dr Luncheon, at a post-Cabinet news conference yesterday, made it clear that in the absence of a “negotiated solution”, the definitive answer to the challenge of the budget cuts lies in the hands of the interpreters of the Constitution -- the Judiciary. On January 29 this year, Acting Chief Justice Ian Chang, handing down his decision in the High Court, ruled that the National Assembly has no right to cut the National Budget. In a preliminary ruling given in June 2012, the CJ had ruled that the National Assembly had a role to either approve or disapprove of the National Estimates, not to cut them. RULING NOT STAYED A Notice of Appeal of Chang’s decision was filed in February by Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Attorney-at-Law Khemraj Ramjattan, on behalf of Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman, who was listed as the appellant in the litigation. Dr Luncheon pointed out that there has been no pronouncement on the appeal, nor has the January ruling of the CJ been stayed.

The HPS said, “The ruling’s provisions are enforceable pending the outcome of the appeal…the CJ’s ruling removed the Opposition’s options to reduce funding of programmes. His ruling restricted the Opposition’s options to either approving or disapproving.” He added that it is unfortunate that the timeframe for negotiating a compromised solution was set by the Constitution and is of short duration. “Constitutionally, an Appropriations Bill is due at the latest by the end of the fourth month of the fiscal year, at the end of April,” Dr Luncheon explained. He also lamented the fact that the Opposition’s neglect “thwarted” attempts at negotiations, even within that short timeframe. “The Parliamentary Committee of Supply’s decision, for all intents and purposes, reflected the majoritarian position of the Opposition…. Dr. Roger Luncheon The Opposition selectively did not approve funding, and essentially determined the outcome of the provisions of the 2014 Appropriations Bill…it makes zero funding for many Government sectors and entities. The Opposition’s option of non-approval, given by the CJ, was taken to the extreme,” Dr Luncheon said. The result, he noted, is the 2014 Appropriations Bill, which is more “draconian” than the 2013 and 2012 Bills. Last year, the combined Opposition cut the Budget by $31B; and in 2012 by $21B. “In this 2014 version, the Opposition in Parliament has not approved funding for Government

Resolution to budget cuts possible without elections

- Says Dr Luncheon

By Vanessa Narine

THE latest challenge in the national political arena revolves around the way forward after the April 16 budget cuts that saw $37.4B being axed from the $220B budget presented by the current administration. Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS) Dr. Roger Luncheon indicated that calling general elections does not head Government’s list of considerations, even though it remains a possibility, as has been indicated by hints. “I feel that this issue with non-approval of funding can be addressed without a resort to elections,” he said yesterday at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at Office of the President. Dr Luncheon added that, moving forward, the avenues that are being looked at include addressing the possibility of compromise. “A decision about spending money may seem conclusive at the time of the passage of the budget, or even at the time of the Presidential Assent; but you are dealing with politicians, and the cut and thrust of the political process -- and indeed matters more profound -- have been resolved without resorting to extremes.” ELECTION HINT The latest hint of a move to general elections was dropped by General-Secretary of the ruling PPP/C party, Mr Clement Rohee, at a party press conference held minutes after the final vote had been taken to pass the 2014 Budget, minus $37.4B

sectors. That, if non-funding remains unchanged, essentially prevents funding to all programmes and activities in those sectors,” Dr Luncheon told reporters yesterday. IMPACT The HPS acknowledged the dire consequences of the non-funding, particularly the impact on Government’s ability to execute its mandate. “It is obvious that the Executive’s mandate to govern cannot be discharged without adequate financing,” he said. Under the allocation for the Office of the President, the cuts include: $245M for the Presidential Guard services; $95M for the provision of developmental and humanitarian aid, among other initiatives; $10M for the Office of the First Lady; $73.5M for the Guyana Energy Agency; $119M for the Guyana Office for Investment (GoInvest); $122M for the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST); $17M for the Integrity Commission; and $28.5M for the Office of the Commissioner of Information. The other cuts include: $18.5B for the LCDS initiatives; $450M for loans for University of Guyana students; $725M for the poverty alleviation programme; $7M for the different rights commissions; $795M for the Basic Needs Trust Fund; and $4M for support to non-governmental organisations and the private sector. The following programmes were also decimated: the Specialty Hospital – $910M; upgrading of regional and district hospitals, including Port Kaituma, Kwakwani, Linden, Bartica, Eye Surgery Operating Room at Linden etc. – $360M; ambulances, ATVs and boats – $42M; surgical equipment and instruments – $32M; the Amerindian Development Fund – $1.1B; other Amerindian programmes, such as ATVs, tractors etc. – $40M; the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) modernization project – $6.6B; Civil aviation – $50M; and hinterland airstrips – $185M. behalf of the Guyanese people who voted in support of the party at the 2011 polls. “We will never give up this struggle. The struggle will continue, and the people will continue to have confidence in the Government to find solutions to whatever difficulties arise,” he had said.

in allocations. Mr Rohee had said: “I am optimistic that the President, Cabinet and ministerial colleagues will find a way out, and this way out will depend on the people’s will to overcome these difficulties. “We have ultimately great confidence in the will of the Guyanese people, as they have demonstrated in the past to find their way out of difficulties. This wound (the budget cuts) will heal, and the people of this country will help us heal this wound.” Mr Rohee, who is also Minister of Home Affairs, had noted in retrospect that it was obvious that the Opposition had come with an agenda to launch attacks against certain aspects of the National Budget. “This is what you can describe as premeditated attacks against the budget,” he had stressed. The Opposition, according to Rohee, had known exactly what they were targeting. “Those targets unfortunately had the people’s interest at heart, so that whatever was cut by the Opposition, at the end of the day, it is the Guyanese people that will suffer enormously. “This has to be our major concern. While we are also concerned about the behaviour of the Opposition, the overarching consideration is what it will mean for our people; and clearly, this cannot be progress,” Minister Rohee declared. “This is a backward step and means more hardship for the people of Guyana,” he added. Rohee had maintained, however, that Parliament is a forum for struggle, and the ruling party is struggling for and on

READY FOR POLLS Additionally, at a People’s Progressive Party (PPP) press conference on April 14, Rohee had disclosed that, at the party’s Central Committee meeting, extensive discussions had taken place on local government and national elections. He had said that the Party’s preparedness to face the electorate whenever elections are called had also been discussed; and during the caucus, much emphasis had been placed on strengthening the party, both organizationally and ideologically, in order to respond effectively to the challenges on the ground. One of those challenges, Rohee had said, was the disposition of the combined Opposition, APNU and AFC. For its part, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has indicated, through its recently appointed Chief Elections Officer (CEO) Mr Keith Lowenfield, that it is in a state of readiness for the staging of an election if one is called, be it local government or general elections, whichever is called first. A budgetary allocation of $3.3B for GECOM’s administration and other related costs was approved by Parliament during its consideration of the National Budget. Of the allocations, $1.7B have been set aside for the Commission and $1.6B for elections’ administration. Both sums cater to employment costs of 337 employees and other costs; while $126.7M are earmarked for the provision of buildings, a trestle, vehicles, boats, engines, office furniture and equipment. The allocation is intended to allow GECOM to exercise general direction and supervision over registration of electors and administrative conduct of all elections of members of the National Assembly, the Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs) and local authorities in Guyana.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana...

So, is the Town Clerk accusing Mayor Green of armed robbery? - as is the old saying, ‘Mouth open, story jump out’

OLD Kai always believed that saying ‘whatever is done in the dark will come to light someday’ and it seems that for our goodly Mayor Hamilton Green, his past is finally catching up with him. Before we continue with this discussion, it is necessary for us to continue to revisit the PNC (now APNU)’s infamous ‘X13’ terrorist plan in which Mayor Green featured prominently. A section of the report notes that “On 10th or 11th July, 1963, Richard Ishmael offered Clement Thompson $60 to place four sticks of blasting gelatin with fuse on a power pole at Bel Air. Richard Ishmael and Hamilton Green took him to the spot at 7.30pm, showed him the pole, and told him to do the job at 10:00 p.m., when the watchman went to clock in. “They took him to Belvedere Hotel with the car they had travelled in. At the Hotel, he ate two chickens-in-therough and he was given $20 in advance. He later threw away the explosives, and told Richard Ishmael that he had gone to the place but found policemen there; that he could not do the job, so he got rid of the explosives…” Anyone who believes that they are exempted from the wrath of the Opposition because of perceived ethnicity, historical support, relations and other forms of affiliation must think twice, as a chilling aspect of the report quoted the PNC leaders as warning that: “Anyone who was going against them must be destroyed, even if the person was a brother.” Yes! It urged its own supporters to even destroy their family members, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers if those persons did not fall in line with their plan to destroy Guyana. Still think you are safe from their clutches? Small wonder it is that today, the Opposition has publicly articulated their plan of ‘collateral damage’, which means that even if their own supporters are in

the way of their nefarious plans, they will have to be sacrificed. This is why Old Kai has maintained all along that there is no difference between the PNC of the past, and their mask today in the form of APNU, where they have brought back some of their fossils from that dark era in

After successfully completing surgery at GPHC…

‘Casual’ moves to Woodlands Hospital for privacy, security reasons By Leroy Smith

FOR more personal health care and for security reasons, privacy and patient confidentiality, relatives of Curtis Armstrong, popularly known as ‘DJ Casual’, have taken a decision to move the radio personality and Digicel Brand Ambassador from the Georgetown Public Hospital to

the Woodlands Hospital, where he continues to be monitored by doctors after successfully completing surgery at the GPHC. Speaking with this publication yesterday, a very close friend of Casual’s related that he is not speaking much, and remains in an awful lot of pain, brought on by the surgery which he had undergone on Monday.

Armstrong was shot twice on Monday morning during an argument with two men in the parking lot of the Guyana National Stadium, where they had attended an Easter Show. The shooting followed an earlier altercation the DJ had with the two men over some ice, as they shared the VIP Section of the show. This newspaper was in-

formed yesterday that the injured Casual is entertaining only close relatives and friends at his bed side at the Woodlands Hospital. It is also understood that Casual is maintaining that he cannot identify the men with whom he had had the argument, and that he does not know them. It was reported to the Guyana Chronicle that, on the morning of the event,

there were several junior and senior police ranks present in the area of the parking lot where the incident occurred. However, the police reported that no one has been arrested for the incident, although investigations are continuing. Conversely, a source close to the investigation has related that the police are of the opinion that Casual knows the men with whom he had been arguing, and that he was shot for reasons known

Curtis Armstrong only to himself and the men, although he remains tight-lipped on the identity of the men.

Cocaine utensil defendant gets pretrial liberty FORTY-YEAR-OLD Alan Clements of Savannah Park Housing Scheme, New Amsterdam, denied having in his possession a utensil used in connection with smoking cocaine. He appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus and pleaded not guilty to the other charge of possession of two grams of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. After informing the court of his health status, he was subsequently granted a total of $30,000 bail. However, the magistrate stipulated that he is to report to the Central Police Station every Friday at 10:00 hrs until the conclusion of the matters. Police Inspector, Gain Bristol, prosecuting, had earlier objected to bail, as she was relying on the statues. On March 13 last, police ranks on mobile patrol observed the Home-Based Security employee acting suspiciously at Savannah Park, New Amsterdam. He was searched and in his right side pocket the police allegedly found the improvised pipe and a piece of whitish, chalklike substance, suspected to be cocaine.

Ganja in burial ground defendant remanded

CORENTYNE police reportedly nabbed Delroy Leitch with 100 grams of ganja in the vicinity of the Rose Hall burial ground. The man appeared before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Albion Court where he denied the trafficking in narcotics charge. He was refused bail and further remanded to prison despite pleas for his pre-trial liberty by Attorney, Horatio Edmonson. The lawyer told the court that the prosecution’s evidence was tenuous, as nothing was found on his client, who is a mason by profession. Additionally, Leitch has encountered financial losses since his incarceration for the last two-and-a-half months. However, the magistrate promised that bail may be considered if the witnesses are absent on the adjourned date. Police said that on January 14 last, ranks were on mobile patrol in the vicinity of the cemetery when they saw the defendant sitting on a culvert acting suspiciously. When approached by the police, he allegedly threw away a compacted black plastic bag, which they retrieved, and found that it contained 13 silver parcels with leaves, seeds, and stems suspected to be portions of marijuana plant. The case was scheduled to be recalled Tuesday last.

VIJAY Seenarine, facing a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm, is claiming that he was detained by police for eight days, and was never allowed to bathe, except when an officer threw two buckets of water at him in the Albion Police Station lockups. In an explanation, the defendant said he was asleep when a little boy broke and entered his home, and after catching him, he broke a tamarind whip and flogged the boy. This story was narrated to Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Albion Court a week ago. Seenarine alleged that following his arrest, cops left his home open, and there is no one to take care of his belongings. “I am poor. No money; no family,” he said. The police said that the defendant unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on Dinesh [only name given]. Seenarine pleaded not guilty. The defendant was placed on $20,000 bail, and is expected to return to court next Tuesday for report.

Rose Hall man jailed for assaulting his wife

ROSE Hall Town resident, Rickford Lashley, a repeat offender, was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment two Tuesdays ago after he pleaded guilty to a charge of assault committed on his common-law wife, Parbattie Seenarine. Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh imposed the custodial penalty after reminding the defendant that he was given a chance on a previous occasion. “You have not learnt your lesson; you are sentenced to two months. Maybe your ways will change,” said the magistrate sternly. Police Sergeant Phillip Sherrif, prosecuting in the Albion Court, said that on April 3 last, at 19:30hrs, the virtual complainant was at home when the defendant returned, under the influence of alcohol, and started to verbally abuse her. As she responded, Lashley dealt her several cuffs about her body while threatening to kill her, even as he was arming himself with a cutlass. She became fearful, and ran from her home to the Rose Hall Police Outpost where she reported the incident.

‘Ocko’ remanded on larceny charges JAMAL Monroe, called ‘Ocko’, of Lot 31 Savannah Park, New Amsterdam, faced a raft of charges, which include break and enter and larceny, simple larceny, robbery under arms, and throwing missiles when he appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus. The 18-year-old defendant told the court that the investigating rank had removed $45,000 from his person. Speaking in the New Amsterdam Court, the defendant accused Detective Constable Braithwaite of taking the money which was in his bag. At the time, Monroe said he had in his possession one gram of marijuana but he was never charged with a narcotics offence; but a series of other charges were instituted against him.

Kite flying causes fire scare in Lodge - but major disaster averted By Shirley Thomas

Battered and tattered kites attached to one of the power lines.

A MAJOR conflagration was averted yesterday morning in Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown as a fire started on a Guyana Power and Light (GPL) utility pole and surged along electricity lines. The blaze, which threatened houses and sent shivers down the spines of residents, resulted from a disruption of current along the lines caused by children flying kites in the neighbourhood, Guyana Fire Service (GFS) and GPL servicemen said. People who live in the vicinity said that, around 11:45 hrs, they heard a loud and strange sound coming from the post to which a transformer is fitted and, immediately, the attached wires began flaring and running along the conduits. Terrified, they called the GFS which dispatched a unit

to the scene, as well as contacted the GPL Emergency Crew, summoning them to the scene of the explosion. SEVERAL KITES On arrival there, firemen and GPL servicemen found that there were several kites, hooked onto and dotting the power cables. They reported that, from time to time, kites would become entangled with the power lines and fittings on the poles and the children would fiercely tug at them, in their efforts to retrieve the kites. A GPL emergency officer explained that, because of the constant pulling and tugging at the wires where kites became trapped, two power cables were, eventually, bridged and ignited, leading to the fire which erupted. The officials reiterated their calls to parents to caution their children against fly-

ing kites where power poles are planted and to fly only in open spaces. Flying kites near power lines is a dangerous practice which could result in the loss of lives, damage to GPL’s equipment, as well as destruction of property. The blaze yesterday started opposite Lot 50 Norton

Street, Lodge, posing a threat to at least five buildings, including one which houses Quacy’s Internet Café Gaming Centre. Persons in the area were loud in praise for the GFS and GPL personnel, whose quick response prevented a disaster.

Linden Town Week kicks off tomorrow - Coordinator optimistic, satisfied with how arrangements for the events are proceeding By Joe Chapman

THE pageant, for which eight beautiful young ladies are lining up to be the next queen, will start the Linden Town Week celebrations tomorrow in the Upper Demerara River mining community. Coordinator of this year’s annual event, Mr. Keiron Williams said that he is satisfied with how arrangements are proceeding. “I am very pleased. This activity will be the first for our strategy to develop our community. The Sheriff Entertainment and L&L Lounge have been the first promoters of the Linden Town Week Pageant that sees the process of continuing it, and I am very happy they took the opportunity for a second year,” Williams said.

He pointed out that the franchise has gone through a whole lot, with delegates not receiving their prizes but these promoters have a vision where Sheriff Entertainment and L&L Lounge have become significant as they will be hosting the event for the second consecutive year. He said this year the contest is on ‘Women Empowerment’ and delegates are to identify well-known female community activists as their platform. SOME CHANGES Williams also explained that Linden Town Week has seen some changes, the most important being the focus on the organisational structure and institutional strengthening. In fact, Linden Town Week is now transformed from a week of extravaganza to more of an enterprise, and the emphasis is to

allow it to be a catalyst for community development. “It could have been something thought of in the past but, right now, it is something that we have focused on and narrowed it down, specifically to the things we would have done,” he said. Williams went on: “First, we want the Linden Town Week to be one social cohesion and it is an opportunity for people to come together, so it would be a platform to show Linden’s economic potential and the fact that such realities are there. “Third, we would have come up with our design and designed the Linden Town Week concept to be one in which we have an enabling environment for promoters and organisers to execute activities. So we focus on the launching, senior citizens’ luncheon and an awards ceremony,” he said. STARTING ACTIVITIES The pageant, which is usually staged the final weekend in April, is going to be kept as one of the starting activities and, the next day, will see a church service on Sunday after the opening ceremony on Saturday. The organisers are also hoping to have a grand regatta as a flagship event but are not yet able to confirm that activity. Speaking about what have become noteworthy, Williams said one of the most encouraging is the inclusion and the enthusiasm of the communities to organise and promote community based initiatives. More than five communities have expressed interest and have started planning so, for example, there is a Retrieve Family Night. There would be the night time lime in lower Half Mile and upper Half Mile Family Day, the group in Silvertown and Victory Valley are organising and Christianburg and Amelia’s Ward spoke of ‘bush cook’ and street games. Williams said companies and other sponsors are giving their commitments in the form of cash and kind. “For us, it is not only cash to take care of overheads and other things but some companies, like BOSAI, are donating to the Senior Citizens Luncheon and the small companies are giving hampers and food for the senior citizens and Day Care Centres and to allow for Linden to showcase what it really has to offer in giving back to the community,” he stated. Williams was optimistic, saying: “Generally, the plans are on stream. We have had an exciting and intriguing process. It is a very big event but it is something that is building in momentum and I am very excited about this Linden Town Week.”

President to address police conference at Eve Leary today By Leroy Smith

COMMANDER-in-Chief of the armed forces, H i s E x c e l l e n c y P re s ident Donald Ramotar, is slated to address the Annual Guyana Police Officers’ Conference at Force Headquarters, Eve Leary, in Georgetown this morning. As obtained in previous years, the conference would be held at the Police Officers’ Mess, where the top brass of the Guyana Police Force would also hear addresses from Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee and acting Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud, who would address the conference for the first time in his new capacity. Issues which affect the GPF and its operations are usually ventilated at the an-

nual Police Officers’ conferences, while recommendations on methods of ensuring more effective policing are arrived at. Among the issues expected to be addressed at this year’s conference are the advances and present position of the modernisation process of the Guyana Police Force; the recently formed Special Weapons and Tactics Unit (SWAT); the relationship between the police and the public, in terms of regaining public confidence; the war on proliferation of small drug houses; and other major issues which confront the GPF each day. In his address last year, President Ramotar had called on the GPF to go after the ‘big fishes’ in the drug underworld. He had expressed his concern with the number

of little drug houses which the police continue to raid, while the major players in

President Donald Ramotar, Commander-in-Chief of Guyana’s Armed Forces the game are left untouched. Moreover, the President had touched on the issue of cybercrime and the need for those in law enforcement to be trained

to combat this form of crime, which he stated was a more modern approach to crime by persons who wish to find themselves on the other side of the law. The role of the media and the relationship shared between the GPF and the press is always up for discussion at major forums which deal with the work of the police and its image. Last year, the head of state cautioned the GPF that it needs to look at the rela-

tionship it shares with the media. “The GPF, in working on its image, must also work with the media, being aware that the media can be very cruel, unkind, and very unfair sometimes; but still it is a very important tool in society to avoid negative speculation,” the President was quoted as saying at last year’s conference. Just days after taking over at the helm of the Guy-

ana Police Force, Mr Seelall Persaud publically stated that he would be working with the media, and the GPF would be looking at ways of engaging the media in sessions geared at advising on the way forward in respect to certain situations. He was at the time referring to the manner in which the media reported on the kidnapping of businessman Rajendra Singh, who was later murdered by his kidnappers.

New formula being used to decide local authorities’ subvention

THE performance of Local Government authorities as it relates to rate collection will be part of a three-element criterion that will determine their total subvention for 2014 and onward, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Norman Whittaker highlighted at a recent press conference. Up to 2013, the 65 Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) were allotted $195M to be equally divided among them as a subvention grant. Meanwhile, the six municipalities combined were in receipt of subventions totalling Minister $465M; Anna Regina, reNorman Whittaker ceiving $9M, New Amsterdam, $10M, Rose Hall $8M, Corriverton $8M, Linden $10M, and Georgetown $20M. The National Assembly has approved increased subventions for the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils. Minister Whittaker explained that the total sum shall be distributed differently as of this year, with 50 percent of the total being equally divided among the local authorities and the remaining being divided based on applying a formula that comprises the area of local authority, the population and the percent collection of rate for the preceding year. As Minister Whittaker explained it, the new distribution is part of the Fiscal Transfers Bill 2012, which was passed by the National Assembly. The Bill’s ultimate aim is to make the local authorities as autonomous as possible including: their ability to sustain themselves, the formulation and implementation of objective criteria for the purpose of allocation of resources to, and the governing of resources by, local democratic organs. Each year government provides the local authorities with a grant to help meet the provision of service to the residents under their boundaries.

Corn, soya bean production being promoted to investors – relevant research data available

WITHIN the last two to three years, the Ministry of Agriculture has not issued any permit for the importation of certain commodities largely due to the work of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) in researching, testing and introducing the local farmers to the production of the said commodities. Sweet pepper, cauliflower and broccoli are some of these, as the Ministry is focusing on diversification of the crop sector, and as well, reducing their importation. Two crops that have been given specific prominence over the year are corn and soya beans which are primary ingredients in animal feed, and Guyana imports about 40,000 tonnes per annum. The focus locally with regard to these have Dr Leslie Ramsammy, been on acquiring and testing Minister of Agriculture higher yields for adaptation to the local conditions. The local variety of corn that is currently being produced, cannot compete with what is imported because of its yield and production cost. To this end, NAREI went ahead to other countries that have similar conditions as Guyana, and was able to obtain for local adaptation, varieties that yield comparable production to those obtained elsewhere. Chief Executive Officer of NAREI, Dr. Oudho Homenauth, in a recent interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA), explained that the institute has been working with a pioneer variety of corn obtained from Belize, which yields about five times more than local varieties and which, the agency calculated, costs under $30 per pound for production. What is currently being imported into Guyana works out to about $49 per pound. Importantly though, the major thrust of NAREI’S effort into the production of corn and soya bean is mainly aimed at having sound data towards engaging foreign investors in the production of these two commodities locally, Dr. Homenauth explained. “What we have been doing in the last year or two is actually getting these things in, the different varieties, trying to see how they are adapting, work out the different cost of production so that when an investor comes, they do not have to go and do this over; the information is available and it is up to date,” he said. According to Dr Homenauth, the goal is to get investors to buy in to the required 8,000 acres of corn and 10,000 acres of soya bean that is needed to satisfy the local demands. “We have a number of persons who have been making inquiries in terms of investment in Guyana and this is what we are promoting. We are not telling people to come and grow boulanger and bora, and those types of crops,” he said. These two commodities are perhaps half of the food import bill of the Caribbean because all the countries import them for the livestock industry. Recently, during the Budget debate, Minister of Agri-

culture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy reported that commercial size plots for the production of these two commodities are to be established this year. The Agriculture Minister also said the ministry is developing a package for investors, and is expecting to partner with at least one investor this year to develop a semi-commercial enterprise. The Ministry of Agriculture’s vision is to cut in half, by 2020, the importation of corn and soybean.

Banks DIH among main Linden Town Week sponsors By Joe Chapman

BEVERAGE giant Banks DIH has, once again, come forward as one of the main sponsors of the planned Linden Town Week activities for the celebration of the township. The company’s Outdoor Events Manger, Mr. Mortimer Stewart was in Linden, along with another Banks

official, Mr. Mike Fung, to present a cheque to assist in the financing of this year’s events. The presentation was done in the Linden Town Council Chamber at Mackenzie against a backdrop of the Banks GT Beer logo, where Ms. Janella Harry received the cheque on behalf of the Linden Town Week Secretariat. Also present were Linden Town Week Coordinator, Mr. Keiron Williams, and Banks DIH Linden Branch Manager, Ms. Shondel Easton, who presented the donation. Wi l l i a m s r e m a r k e d : “It is very interesting for Banks DIH coming on board and contributing in such a meaningful way. Banks DIH has always been one of the companies that have expressed commitment to support Linden Town Week

and similar activities. What we are committing to is to allow not only for the environment for them to market their products as a company but to participate in the Town Week process. “Outside of that it is to allow for companies like Banks DIH to be part of that accountability process, where Banks DIH would have handed us a cheque and we have to demonstrate that we are utilising those funds for the purpose intended, as well.” Ms. Easton said: “We are in the process of installing lamps in the beautification and lighting and branding of the market area and, additionally, nine floodlights are being sourced for the Mackenzie Sports Club, as part of our commitment, which is more than a million dollars.”

Karouni Gold Project...

TRGI announces employment of 500 for construction phase By Clifford Stanley

TROY Resources Guyana Inc. (TRGI), the Australian exploration and mining company operating in Region Seven (Cuyuni/Mazaruni), has announced that it will be employing some 500 people during the construction phase of its Karouni Gold Project. A media release said the employer anticipates an eventual permanent workforce of between 250 and 300. It said advertisements for management and technical positions, two weeks ago, had resulted in a very high response, which it found pleasing since the company’s aim, in the medium to long term, is to have a minimum of expatriates working in Guyana. The release disclosed that the feasibility study for Karouni is to be completed by June and the programme is moving closer to full operation. More advertising for jobs will be done in June. Meanwhile, the company said that direct commitments, to date, for the Karouni scheme, formerly known as West Omai, are in excess of US$15M and the construction budget is approximately US$87M. SHARE ISSUES The company said it recently raised more than US$30M by way of share issues and is completing documentation for a loan facility to ensure that the undertaking is fully funded. TRGI has also purchased a number of pieces of equipment, including a grinding mill which is now awaiting transport to Guyana with expected delivery in May. Karouni is wholly owned by TRGI since July last year, when the company concluded a merger with Azimuth Resources, a takeover ownership of what was then known as the West Omai Project. Since the amalgamation of the companies, TRGI has put focus on drilling to update the resource estimate which was used for a positive preliminary economic assessment published earlier this year.

Guyanese journalist granted bail on theft charges ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) – Guyanese-born journalist Rawle Nelson has been granted EC$100,000 bail by a magistrate court in Grenada on Wednesday on charges of stealing, forgery and uttering a false document. Magistrate Karen Noel also requested that Nelson, 36, surrender all his travel documents and must report to the Central Police Station three days a week. Nelson, who in July 2013 began working as a consultant and managing editor with Moving Target, the company which owns Meaningful Television and is also the publisher of the weekly Grenada Informer newspaper, will return to court on June 3. The journalist, who had been in police custody since last Wednesday, has been charged with two counts of stealing EC$15, 394.28 cents by reason of employment, forgery and uttering a false document.

Aries March 21 - April 19

Geniuses of all stripes look to their dreams for guidance and inspiration, and so should you. If there’s some complex conundrum weighing on your mind, now is the time to plumb the depths of your subconscious for a simple answer. You may want to keep a pen and paper by your bedside to write down any midnight inspirations. That big brain of yours is never really inactive!

Taurus April 20 - May 20

Why does it seem so much easier for you to believe that something bad can happen, but so much more difficult to trust in your good fortune? That’s the big question you’re facing right now. You’ve got great potential, but in order to really see it through, you need to believe not only that you have it, but that the universe needs to see you shine. Don’t just question your surroundings -- question yourself!

Gemini May 21 - June 21

Big changes have been percolating up through various aspects of your life lately. Right now, the question is whether you’re going to drink it all up straight, or try to add a little karmic cream and sugar to make it all go down easily. Your energy is calling out for the second option -- so draw on your friends, your family and anyone else in your immediate circle -- and get their help. It makes everything ever so much easier.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

Keep a close watch on your heart and its shenanigans. It’s as valuable as it is capricious, and it doesn’t appreciate rough handling. If you’re thinking of leaping into something on a mad impulse or just because it seems like a good idea at the time, why not ask the thing you’re risking how it feels about the whole enterprise? Quiet down and check in with your heart about what to do next. What you hear might surprise you.

Leo July 23 - August 22

Giving up on your dreams is not an option for you, especially right now. No matter what has befallen you recently, it doesn’t mean that your goals and ambitions are moot. It actually signifies that your path has a few more unexpected twists and turns up ahead. No matter what, hang onto those high hopes, because they haven’t been dashed -- they’re just waiting in the wings for the next big scene to come.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

Pounding away at a problem like a jackhammer tearing up an old inner-city street might not help -- and, in fact, could make things a lot worse. The noise, the risk, the cost -- it’s too much! Your dynamic and forceful personality doesn’t take well to just sitting there letting things happen, but that’s exactly what you need to do in this situation. Why not let the cosmos do its job and work things out?

Libra September 23 - October 22

It’s far too easy for you to criticise the way you look, but it accomplishes nothing -- and the criticisms you voice probably aren’t true, anyway. Try to stop seeing flaws that aren’t there and grasp only what’s real, but not quite as tangible as what you see in the mirror. Check your finer spiritual qualities and your physical qualities will soon line up with them. So start to see how beautiful you are where it counts.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

Your creativity should never be confined. It can -- and should -- come into play in every single aspect of your life. Make sure that you give your imagination space to live and grow: Be playful, open and free. If necessary, get yourself to a playground and play on the swings for a few minutes. The feeling as you’re soaring through the air is exactly what your imagination needs to break your current locks.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Someone close to you maybe needs to spill some secrets, but they’re for your ears and eyes only. No matter how tempting it is to call your best friend or sweetie and spill, you need to beat down the temptation. Your reliability is an important asset, of course, and you know better than most that what goes around comes around. They’ve confided in you -- and only you -- for a reason.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

Communication goes far beyond mere words, you know. There are innumerable other ways to get across what’s in your heart, if that’s what you really want. If you give yourself enough time and space, you can think of a few new means of communication that bear your unique style. Try them out now on your nearest and dearest -- the universe is pushing you to try new things, and they need to hear from you anyway.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

You need to go off the beaten track every now and then, and you’ve got plenty of chances for discovering delightful tangents right now. Try not to get too far from the main road, however -- there are certain places you have to stop and rest and some particular routes that require little deviation, no matter how charming some of the roadside attractions are. Update your itinerary regularly.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

Gift yourself with anything you want (and can afford, of course) today. It’s easy to get caught up in a cycle of doing, doing, doing for others, and forget what it’s like to just live in the moment. Call up some friends you haven’t seen in ages and insist on a frivolous, free-for-all somewhere silly and fun. Alternatively, head outside and play in the rain wearing a silly hat. You need to have fun, and the universe is right behind you.

Critical issues to be discussed at Saturday’s ... From back page Leonora, West Demerara for its GOAL project which is being funded by football’s world governing body FIFA. The 10-acre piece of land according to Matthias will house dormitories, a kitchen, dining area, a lecture hall and a training facility. The proposed site is behind the synthetic track that is almost completed, but works on the stands, car park and washroom facilities are currently under way. When completed, the centre of the track will have an international size football field which the GFF will use for the hosting of international matches. That apart, the Matthias administration will be in receipt of approximately $100M compliments of FIFA. This fund will come after the Brazil 2014 world cup and would go towards the development of football in Guyana. Recently, Matthias told Chronicle Sport the money would be disbursed to each of its affiliates for them to develop the sport in their communities. He had said he wants to give each of the affiliates at least 10 balls, one set of playing uniforms and a minibus. Matthias said his intention is to give each association a bus to transport their players to matches as well as being used as a form of income - transporting members of the public from their respective communities.

Sacked Moyes thanks Ferguson for Man United opportunity LONDON, England (Reuters) Sacked Manchester United manager David Moyes thanked his predecessor Alex Ferguson yesterday for having given him the opportunity to lead the Premier League club. In a statement issued through the League Managers Association (LMA), the Scot spoke of his pride at being chosen last July and acknowledged fans had a right to feel frustrated by results since then. He spoke warmly of the United staff but, perhaps pointedly, not the players. “I remain proud to have led the team to the quarter-finals of this year’s Champions League and I remain grateful to Sir Alex Ferguson for believing in my ability and giving me the chance to manage Manchester United,” he said. Ferguson stepped down last

year, when United won the title, after 26 years in charge. Moyes was sacked on Tuesday after only 10 months with United currently seventh in the league and out of the running for a Champions League slot next season. Newspapers reported yesterday that Ferguson, who last year urged fans to get behind the new man, had supported the decision to sack Moyes and would play a role in the appointment of the next manager. Moyes said he was and would always be “incredibly proud” to have been appointed manager of United. “Taking charge after such a long period of continuous stability and success at the club was inevitably going to be a significant challenge, but it was one which I relished and never had a second thought about taking

Alex Ferguson

on,” he said. “The scale of the manager’s job at United is immense, but I have never stepped away from hard work and the same applies to my coaching staff. I thank them for their dedication and loyalty throughout the last

season.” United have an urgent need to revamp their ageing squad and are expected to ship out several high-profile players once the season is over. Moyes said he had already been working on that when the owning Glazer family decided to call time, the manager informed of his dismissal on Tuesday after details had been widely leaked to the media. “We were fully focused and committed to the process of the fundamental rebuilding that is required for the senior squad,” he said in his statement. “This had to be achieved whilst delivering positive results (in the Premier League and Champions League). “However, during this period of transition, performances and results have not been what Manchester United and its fans are used to or expect,

David Moyes

and I both understand and share their frustration.” Moyes said he had seen in his short reign just how special it was to work at Old Trafford and the training ground. “I would like to thank the United staff for making

me feel so welcome and part of the United family from my first day. And of course thank you to those fans who have supported me throughout the season. I wish you and the club all the best for the future,” he said. “I have always believed that a manager never stops learning during his career and I know I will take invaluable experience from my time as United’s manager.” LMA chief executive Richard Bevan said United had handled the dismissal in an “unprofessional manner”. “The LMA is very disappointed with the nature of David’s departure from Manchester United and to read extensive reports in the press, confirming David’s sacking, before David himself had been spoken to officially by the club,” he said.

All-round Jadeja downs Royals ON a day that the usual Chennai Super Kings heavy batting artillery failed to fire, their bowling, led by the versatile Ravindra Jadeja’s four-wicket haul, carved out a seven-run win against Rajasthan Royals on a slow Dubai pitch. (Scores: Chennai Super Kings 140 for 6 (Dwayne Smith 50, Jadeja 36*; Bhatia 2-13) beat Rajasthan Royals 133 (Jadeja 4-33) by seven runs) Defending a middling total, Jadeja’s two wickets in two balls in his first over swung the pendulum decisively in favour of Super Kings, the wickets being those of Shane Watson and Sanju Samson. Royals never really recovered from the jolt and despite some happy hitting towards the end, disintegrated to their second defeat. When Super Kings were asked to bat, Brendon McCullum mis-hitting a number of deliveries seemed a case of the batsman struggling but if anything, it was actually an indication of the nature of the pitch which wasn’t as batsmen-friendly as thought to be before the start of the match. McCullum was eventually out to a stunning catch by Steven Smith behind midwicket,

hitting a length delivery from James Faulkner higher than longer. That slowness of the pitch didn’t seem to bother Dwayne Smith, however, as he raced to his second halfcentury in three matches with a flurry of big hits. After carefully playing out his first 18 deliveries for 17 runs, Smith used the pace the seamers offered him and carted the ball around the ground, his next nine deliveries bringing him 33 runs. Smith reached his fifty with a six but was done in by the sponginess of the surface in the very next delivery as he tried to force the ball over the infield, but only spooned a catch to mid-off. What followed was a period of play controlled by the Royals’ slower bowlers. He wouldn’t have known at the time, but he did end up playing the defining innings of the match, as no one from either team came close to his strike rate of 178.57. The canny Rajat Bhatia, who later joked he was probably bowling “slower than the pitch”, served up his most economical spell in the IPL of 4-0-13-2 all 13 of them in singles -

hardly giving any pace for the batsmen to work with. At the other end, Pravin Tambe removed the dangerous MS Dhoni to push Super Kings from a comfortable 59 for 1 to a perilous 74 for 5. Was it not for a fighting 36 from Jadeja, Super Kings would have had to settle for a much lower total than what they eventually got. The task at the start of the second innings would have been considered manageable given the skill-level in Royals’ batting and the knowledge of how the pitch was going to play. Though Royals lost Abhishek Nayar early to a suicidal run Rahane appeared comfortable as he regularly employed late deflections to manoeuvre the ball. Samson was impressive, launching Ben Hilfenhaus for two clean sixes to finish the fifth over on 37 for 1. The introduction of spin in the sixth over had the same effect as in the first innings with Rahane top-edging a sweep to deep square leg. Dhoni tossed the ball to Jadeja in the next over that pushed Royals to the edge of the precipice. (ESPN Cricinfo)

HACC president confident of continued success By Frederick Halley TORONTO, Canada – Action in the 2014 Scarborough Cricket Association (SCA) Premier League is due to start in a few weeks’ time and president of the Hawaiian Arctic Cricket Club (HACC) Guyanese Narchand ‘Archie’ Mohan is confident of another bumper season. HACC have been flying high over the past four seasons, romping to consecutive championships, an unprecedented feat in the SCA and, according to Mohan, his club has no intention of relinquishing the title. The club’s reign of successes in finals started in 2010 when they defeated Panoli Cricket

Club and this was followed by triumphs over East West XI in 2011, Victoria Park in 2012 and Bawa XI in 2013. With outdoor training still not possible because of the dampness of most grounds, HACC players have been undergoing rigorous indoor exercises and Mohan is extremely happy with their progress and told Chronicle Sport that his charges are raring to go. The predominant Guyanese squad, which also includes a few Trinidadians, will once again be strengthened by the inclusion of former West Indies one-day middle-order batsman Royston Crandon, former Guyana fast bowler Trevon Garraway and former National Under-19 player Hemnarine Chattergoon who

also leads the team. Diminutive wicketkeeper

Benzema puts Real in charge against holders Bayern By Iain Rogers MADRID, Spain (Reuters) - Real Madrid moved a step closer to a first Champions League final appearance in 12 years when a Karim Benzema strike gave the record nine-time winners a 1-0 win at home to holders Bayern Munich yesterday. Bayern dominated possession in the semi-final, first leg at the Bernabeu without posing much of a threat to the home goal and Benzema’s 19th-minute effort means Real will have the advantage going into next week’s return in Munich. Despite the victory, Real may live to regret not converting a couple of clear chances in the first half when Champions League topscorer Cristiano Ronaldo, back after injury, and Angel Di Maria both produced wasteful efforts. Bayern almost equalised late on but Mario Goetze was denied by a brilliant Iker Casillas save. “It was a very tough match, intense and difficult. They are a team who always like to control the game and we virtually let them have possession of the ball,” Real defender Sergio Ramos told Canal Plus. “We worked superbly in defence and we knew how to create our chances and I think it is a satisfactory result to take to Munich and try to make it through to the final.”

It was a losing return to Spain for Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who mostly got the better of Real in four trophyladen seasons in charge of their arch rivals Barcelona between 2008 and 2012.

Euro delight: Karim Benzema celebrates after scoring Real Madrid’s sole goal in their 1-0 victory.

With decorated Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti in his first season, Real have high hopes they can finally claim the elusive 10th European crown they have been chasing since their last triumph in 2002. There was an electric atmosphere at their giant Bernabeu arena before kickoff and the home fans unfurled a huge banner proclaiming their status as “Kings of Europe”. However, it was the current champions and five-time winners who bossed the early stages with the Real players clearly under instructions to sit back and try and hit

Bayern on the break. The opening goal came from exactly that scenario. Toni Kroos had a shot blocked in the Real penalty area and the home side picked up possession and poured forward. Ronaldo played Fabio Coentrao in on the left and his low cross evaded the Bayern defence and found Benzema waiting at the far post to tap into an empty net. CLEAR CHANCES Real were lifted by the goal and while Bayern were still enjoying long periods of fruitless possession the home side had two more clear chances on the breakaway. Ronaldo sliced a shot high and wide when well placed in the 26th minute and Di Maria found space in the area four minutes before the break but blasted his effort over the bar. Real were first to threaten in the second period thanks to an error in the Bayern defence and Ronaldo, back after knee and thigh muscle injuries, raced clear on the right and forced a fine diving save from Manuel Neuer with a low shot. The Portugal captain has a record-equalling 14 goals in the Champions League this season and was clearly hungry to set a new best and Neuer again had to be alert when Ronaldo cracked a low shot towards the corner in the 68th.

of HACC while Ramnarine Chattergoom, the youngest of the Chattergoon siblings, and Georgetown Cricket Club’s Ryan Rajmangal are also set to be included. It will be recalled that Garraway played a pivotal role in last season’s Premier League final with the astonishing figures of four for six against rivals Bawa XI in a lop-sided game while Crandon and Chattergoon were consistent in the batting department, registering useful scores in the preliminary round matches. Garraway’s effort earned him the Most Valuable Player in the Final award. An excited Mohan is full of praise for the contributions of his players past and

preseent, pointing out that they must be commended for their sterling efforts both on and off the field. The long-standing president disclosed that success has been attained through hard work and determination and once the players maintain the same attitude there’s no reason why they should not continue their winning ways. HACC was formed some 20 years ago and Mohan stressed that the current achievements are a testimony to the dedication and perseverance shown by the founding members, including vice-president Iqubal Rahaman, secretary/ treasurer Eon Gunraj and executive member Kishaj Sukhu.

Acknowledging their contributions over the years, Mohan said they have demonstrated great leadership skills and are very passionate in their approach to the club’s activities and successes. At last year’s SCA presentation ceremony, HACC took the lion’s share of awards which included the Frank Faubert Trophy, sponsored by Shiv Persaud of Primerica for winning the Premier League and also copped the Speedway Motors-sponsored trophy for being the Conference One champions. The club also handed out artificial diamond rings to all the players for their outstanding achievements during the season.

AAG heartened by Guyana’s CARIFTA Games performance, says Hutson By Tamica Garnett “I AM very heartened” was how Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) president Aubrey Hutson described his feelings towards Guyana’s performance at the recently concluded 43rd CARIFTA Game in Martinique, where Guyana finished fourth overall in the top 10 nations, with three gold medals and a silver.

Guyana’s achievement was led by the performance of Cassey George, who accounted for two of the three gold medals. Kadecia Baird was just as striking with her gold and silver medal takings. George came out victorious in the girls’ Under-18 1500m and girls’ open 3 000m, while United Statesbased Guyanese Kadecia Baird ruled the roost in the girls’ Under- 20 400m and finished in the 200m where

she just missed out on the gold after tripping at the finish line. Competing against powerhouse athletes from Jamaica, Guyana fielded a team of nine athletes. Baird and George were the only athletes on the nineman team to medal in an event. However, others came close, and Hutson said that the AAG was glad to provide all the athletes with the opportunity to receive

Persaud slams ton for GNIC in win over DCC ‘B’ … DCC ‘A’, TSC AND BEL AIR RUBIS ALSO WIN By Calvin Roberts THANKS to a pugnacious and unbeaten century from skipper Joshua Persaud, the points leaders Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) chalked up a comfortable 178-run victory over Demerara Cricket Club ‘B’, in their Georgetown Cricket Association/BrainStreet Under-15 fixture yesterday. Also recording victories were defending champions DCC ‘A’, Transport Sports Club (TSC) and Bel Air RUBiS, who defeated Everest Cricket Club, Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) and Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO) respectively. At GNIC, the visiting DCC ‘B’ team won the toss and regrettably asked their hosts to bat first and they compiled a massive 282 for 2 from 21.2 overs, thanks to Persaud’s unbeaten 142 which took him 60 deliveries to accumulate and was decorated with 14 fours and 11 sixes. The Georgetown Under-15 skipper received support from Christopher Campbell who struck nine fours and three sixes in his 82 before

he was run-out, adding 240 for the second wicket with Persaud, who had earlier posted 40 for the first wicket with Kurt Lovell 20 (3x4, 1x6).

In reply DCC ‘B’ were bundled out for 104 scored off 42.3 overs, with Extras topscoring with 52 while David Marshall contributed 20 with the bat, which included two sixes and one four, as Persaud returned with the ball to claim 5 for 21 and Orlando Ghisiawan 2 for 22. At the DCC ground in Queenstown, the ‘A’ team faced Everest in a onesided affair, bowling out their guests for 45 in 23.4 overs, of which Yeudistir

Persaud led the way with his unbeaten 15 (2x4). National Under-15 left-arm spinner Ashmead Nedd took 4 for 5 and got support from Junior Phillips and Bhojnarine Singh who took 3 wickets each for 10 and 11 runs respectively for DCC ‘A’, who in reply scored 46 for 3, with 24 of their runs coming by way of Extras. Darion Dickson made an unbeaten 9 while Nedd struck one four in his 8 before he was bowled by the lone female player in the tournament, Mandy Mangru, who took 2 for 8 for Everest in a losing cause. At GYO, Bel Air RUBiS batted first and were bowled out for 215 off 41.2 overs, thanks to a fifth-wicket partnership worth 101 runs between Josiah Butler 84 (9x6, 4x4) and Nand Sanicharran who made an unbeaten 71 with five fours and one six. They rescued their team from 68 for 4 in the face of some disciplined bowling from the home team who were led by Tony Hargobin’s 3 for 11, with support from Pradesh Balkishun and Navindra Persaud who took 2 wickets each for 16 and 40 runs

respectively. In reply, GYO were bowled out for 196 from 53 overs, despite a resilient 62 from Persaud with seven fours, 19 from Chandra Mohan, 17 from Navindra Dindial and 16 from Elnathan Sooknanand, as Alex Chunilall took 3 for 38 to steer Bel Air RUBiS to the win by 19 runs. At the MSC ground on Thomas Lands, the home team asked TSC to bat first and saw them pile up 208 for 8 off their 48 overs, led by an unbeaten 36 (3x4) from Anthony Antonio, 34 from Colin Barlow, 26 from Deon Allen and 25 from Toney Adjodha. Jowan Cadogan took 3 for 17 and Stece Norville 2 for 32 for the home team, who in reply were bowled out for 64 off 31.5 overs, with Arvin Gangadin 16 and Sachin Basdeo 11 being their lone batsmen to reach double figures. Antonio returned with the ball to claim 4 for 9 and was backed by Joel Spooner’s 3 for 9 and Akeem Maloney’s 2 for 14. The tournament continues today with several matches, among them the top of the table clash between GNIC and DCC ‘A’ at DCC from 09:30hrs.

exposure in the sport. “The nation sees these performances and they need to understand that athletes are not born overnight, it’s a developmental thing. I know all of the girls did their best, it’s a stepping stone and we have to give them the exposure, we cannot expect miracles.” Hutson told Chronicle Sport. Hutson also noted the performance of the two field-event athletes, namely Natricia Hooper and Kade

Pearce, and while the athletes were unable to medal, Hutson said they served well in sending out the message to other athletes in the field-events division that if they work hard the AAG is willing to back them. The Association is expected to do a complete debriefing on the team’s performance at a press conference to be held later today at the Olympic House on High Street.

Farbrace named England assistant coach LONDON, England (Reuters) - Paul Farbrace has been appointed England assistant coach, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said yesterday. Former Sri Lanka coach Farbrace will work alongside new director of cricket Peter Moores. The 46-year-old led Sri Lanka to this year’s Asia Cup and the World Twenty20 title in Bangladesh, the country’s first global trophy since 1996. “It’s fantastic to be given the opportunity to work with your own country’s national team and this was an offer that I could not

turn down - much as I have enjoyed working with the Sri Lankan players and sharing in their recent success,” Farbrace said. England play home Test series against Sri Lanka and India this year. “We have a lot of work to do in a short time as we prepare for the fastapproaching international season,” Moores said. “There is no doubt Paul will bring a lot of recent international experience to the England set-up.” Andy Flower stepped down as England’s director of cricket in January following the team’s 5-0 Ashes defeat in Australia.

Mohamed believes Guyanese cyclists can win 3-stage event … SAYS TEAMWORK IS IMPORTANT By Calvin Roberts AS PREPARATIONS commence for the staging of the 32nd edition of the National Sports Commission (NSC) Independence threestage cycle road race this year, national cycling coach Hassan Mohamed believes a local cyclist can come away with the top honours, when the event climaxes on Sunday, May 18, on Homestretch Avenue. The last time a Guyanese copped the top podium spot, was four years ago when Roraima Bikers Club’s Warren McKay completed the 171.5-mile (274.3km) event in a time of 7h. 05mins:15secs, which stood as a record until Ivan Dominguez of Team Coco’s broke it two years later with his time of 6h.44mins:54secs. Dominguez’s win started a trend which saw foreign cyclists come to these shores and take away the top prize for the next two years, as prior to Dominguez’s win, the previous winner was Yosmani Pol also of Team Coco’s, while Barbados’ Jamol Eastman took last year’s event with a time of 6h: 58mins: 13secs. In fact, it is Pol who holds the record for the best times for the first two stages, having won the first stage in 2011, the same year he copped the overall title, riding from Corriverton to New Amsterdam for a distance of 46.6 miles (75km) in a time of 1h. 38mins:31secs.

The following year when Dominguez, his Team Coco’s teammate, copped the overall prize, Pol took the record for the second stage, Rosignol to Carifesta Avenue a distance of 60.4 miles (97.1km) with a

course of the race and execute them effectively. “No coach can help them, they have to think for themselves and focus on what they wish to do, irrespective of which club they come from; for at

we cannot stop a foreign competitor from taking the top prize this year,” said Mohamed. He highlighted the fact that some cyclists enter the event short of training and mileage in their legs and at times that can be a humbug to not only

time of 2h. 15mins:31secs. Robin Persaud holds the thirdstage record, which sees the cyclists compete from Kara Kara to Homestretch Avenue, a distance of 64.5 miles (103.3km), with his 2013 time, having stopped the clock at 2h. 40mins:54secs. So what can be expected from local cyclists this year, if they intend to prevent a foreign cyclist from taking away the top prize, when the event pedals off on Saturday May 17 from Corriverton for the first leg? “Nothing but team work and executing their game plan effectively,” said Mohamed. “The Guyanese always have a chance, but the problem is the cyclists ride selfishly while the foreigners come and ride as a team every year and they need to work out the strategies they intend to use during the

the end of the day they are all Guyanese,” said Mohamed. Using former cyclist and six-time winner of the event Dwayne ‘Road Hog’ Gibbs as an example, Mohamed said strategic planning guided Gibbs to his first title and the added five he won. “Yes you can say that Gibbs had assistance from his club mates which enabled him to cart off the crown six times, but you still need to give him credit, as he is a good thinker and he knows what stage racing is all about, as time factor comes into play at the end of the day. “And while we have the potential, which there is no doubt about, along with a young crop of cyclists who have been showing tremendous form on the local scene, I don’t see why

the particular cyclists, but his teammates as well, since the event calls for teamwork. “What is the difference with them is that they can outthink the Guyanese. I have seen on the road during events, cyclists chasing down their fellow Guyanese competitors during the event, which further underlines the selfishness among our cyclists. “Yes everybody wants to win, but in this event, teamwork is essential in order to prevent a foreign cyclist from being victorious. Every club has numbers, but they need to ride as a team, as it is very bad to know foreign cyclists coming

here to compete and taking the top prize.” He added, “They are throwing away the potential they have because of their inability to think. In cycling, it makes no sense you have a head and no pair of legs and no sense you have a pair of legs and no head, as it calls for coordination which is very, very important. “The foreign cyclists who have won this event over the past years are not superhuman beings, they are humans just like you and me, but whatever you put in that is what you will get out. For a race of this nature, some of them don’t have the mileage in their legs and that is important as well.” Mohamed called on the cyclists to put in the hard work, get the miles in their legs, as the intensity of the event calls for endurance and they should be in their saddles at least five or six hours when the weekend comes, especially when they are not competing. He closed by saying all the logistics are in place for this year’s event, adding that he has already spoken with the necessary individuals including the Guyana Police Force, to ensure a smooth execution, while he recently made a trip to Berbice and put systems in place. “I know we have the potential to beat the foreign cyclists. We are giving the riders here, at least two and three races

per month, whether it is in the National Park or on the roadways and how they work it out is all up to them, but I know from the depths of my heart, they have the potential to win the event away from a foreign competitor, when the race finishes on Homestretch Avenue on May 18.” The Guyanese brigade of Geron Williams (6h: 58m: 20s), Orville Hinds (6h: 58m: 25s), Alanzo Greaves (6h: 58m: 26s), Raynauth Jeffrey (6h: 58m: 33s) and Raul Leal (6h: 58m: 33s) rounded off the top finishers behind Eastman in that order. Although Jeffrey and Leal gained the same time, Jeffrey secured the fifth spot by virtue of crossing the line ahead of Leal throughout the event, but his Team Coco (Guyana) partner had reasons to smile, as he was the leading junior cyclist, finishing ahead of Hamza Eastman and Stephano Husbands, who ended in second and third spots, respectively. Horace Burrowes, who finished seventh overall with a time of six hours, 59 minutes was the winner of the Veterans’ category, while Naomi Singh of East Coast Demerara was among the four females who participated in the two-day activity, but was the lone competitor on the distaff side to start all three stages.

Construction of Leonora synthetic track ongoing … Inclement weather a bugbear

THE synthetic track facility currently under construction at Leonora, West Coast Demerara is nearing completion, but the inclement weather is cause for concern for the German company contracted to construct it. According to a source, the laying of the synthetic material is still to be completed as engineers from BSW, the German firm, were in the country earlier this month but had to leave but are due back soon. The source said two stands on the northern side are near completion by BK International Inc, while there is still a lot of work to be done on the football field that is in the centre of the synthetic track.

Critical issues to be discussed at Saturday’s GFF Congress SEVEREAL critical issues are to be discussed on Saturday when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) holds its Congress in the Boardroom, Dadanawa Street, Campbellville, from 10:00hrs. Speaking to Chronicle Sport yesterday, GFF’s president Christopher Matthias said among the issues to be discussed is a no-confidence motion filed by former GFF executives against him. Another major issue is the nomination and election of Presidential Adviser on Empowerment, Odinga Lumumba,

as a vice-president of the GFF. Matthias who has been heading the GFF for just about a year said he thinks he has been doing a reasonable job as president since being installed in that position. Matthias had previously told Chronicle Sport that when he took over as president of the GFF, the Federation was indebted by around $25M and over the past year he has been able to reduce that amount significantly. “Some persons and businesses that the Federation had

He had said these entities included airlines, hotels and caterers and this caused him to have the Federation’s accounts audited by the Ram and McRae firm.
