President, Opposition Leader visit relatives of Burma Road tragedy - where six children, teacher perish as car runs off road into canal By Leroy Smith HIS Excellency President Donald Ramotar met yesterday afternoon with relatives of the six children and one teacher from the Augsburg Primary School who perished in an accident along the Burma Road when the car in which they were travelling ended up in a canal. The teacher and six students of the Augsburg Primary School died by apparent drowning on Friday afternoon after the vehicle they were travelling in ended up in a canal along the Burma Road. Those who perished are: Grade 3 student Justin Abel, eight years old; Grade 2
DEAD: Justin Abel
DEAD: Ayshia Abel
student Rayden Abel, seven years old; Grade 5 student Ayshia Abel, ten years old (all from the same family); Grade 1 student Azidia Fraser, six years old; Grade 5 student Atesha Woolford, ten years old; Grade 2 student Martina Persaud, eight years old; and their teacher, Shondel
Duke, 41 years old, all of Mahaicony. The President was accompanied on his visit to the Mahaicony area yesterday by Education Minister Priya Manickchand, Transport Minister Robeson Benn, and several regional officials. During his visit, the President, was seemingly ‘lost for words’ when comforting the grieving members of the affected families. President Ramotar said the devastating incident was a real tragedy that would leave any family or community affected and in a state of shock. The Guyanese Head of State also made certain
DEAD: Rayden Abel commitments to the relatives of the deceased. Minister Manickchand, who was at the Mahaicony Hospital on Friday evening consoling relatives, met with them again yesterday as she outlined the approach the Ministry of Education would be taking to assist the relatives. Tr a n s p o r t M i n i s t e r Robeson Benn also promised that the Burma Road, which is presently under repair, will be completed shortly. He also expressed his condolences to the relatives of those who were killed. E a r l i e r i n t h e d a y, Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition, Brigadier (ret’d)

President Ramotar is at a loss for words as he sits with a relative of the dead teacher David Granger, also visited surviving relatives of the deceased and offered his condolences. Like President Ramotar, Mr Granger and his team visited each home affected and sought to bring some amount of comfort to those living there. Georgetown Mayor Hamilton Green accompanied Granger to the area yesterday. In conversations with the various officials, the Guyana Chronicle was able to gather that the dead teacher, 41-year-
old Shondel Duke, had been like a mother to all six of the children who perished with her in the tragedy. She was also described as a queen, while the children were described as her prince and princesses, according to the mother of deceased 8-year-old Martina Persaud.

A ‘true patriot’ and career diplomat…
Elisabeth Anne Harper named PPP/C’s Prime Ministerial candidate - first woman to be nominated to post within the PPP/C
YESTERDAY, the ruling People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) declared its leadership ticket for the May 11th Elections. Incumbent President Donald Ramotar will be accompanied on the PPP electoral platform by the affable and distinguished Elisabeth Anne Harper as his Prime Ministerial candidate. The bold announcement of a female Prime Ministerial Candidate under the PPP/C banner is a first for the ruling party and an honour bestowed on the capable and highly respected “DG”, as she is familiarly called. The current Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is described by President Donald Ramotar as a “patriot” who has served Guyana well in the past. “I am proud to be running with Mrs. Harper and I have every confidence that we will not only win the election, but we will have the majority in the National Assembly, which is so important for the development of Guyana,”said President Ramotar. “She has served our nation with distinction well, not a partisan, but a patriot, who, in her career as an outstanding diplomat, has dedicated her service to ensuring our great land remains united and prosperous…she will play an important role in the struggle to maintain our progress,” added President Ramotar. Ambassador Harper ’s thirty nine years of public service started in 1976 when she joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In applying diligence and commitment to her work, Ambassador Harper became known as a reliable woman capable of getting the job done. This view is echoed by the President, who said “her experience, dynamism and loyalty to the betterment of our nation will complement the exceptional leadership and visionary policies that
we have displayed over the years in Government.” ONLY NOMINATION At a press conference held at the Party’s Freedom House headquarters, Ambassador Harper was said to be the only nomination m a d e b y t h e P a r t y ’s Executive Committee to the PPP’s Central Committee. The Party’s second highest decision-making body after its Congress, the Central Committee, concluded its deliberations on the nomination and appointment o f t h e P P P / C ’s P r i m e Ministerial Candidate only minutes before the announcement was publicly made. As per tradition, the Party’s Presidential candidate is taken from PPP members, while its Prime Ministerial candidate is taken from its Civic component. P P P / C ’s G e n e r a l Secretary, Mr Clement Rohee, disclosed that Harper’s nomination and selection were unanimously endorsed by the party. “The Central Committee unanimously endorsed the nomination presented by the Executive Committee and re-affirmed the tradition established in 1992, whereby the Prime Ministerial Candidate for the PPP/C would be a member of civic society,” he said. Mr. Rohee, also hailing Ambassador Harper as an asset to the party, pointed out that her selection is evidence of the role and contribution women can make in the political arena. “I need not emphasise the intrinsic value of the instinct of women in general and in politics in particular, coupled with a high level of competency and honest endeavour to serve and how undoubtedly these and other attributes of Mrs Harper will be etched for time immemorial in the hearts and minds of thousands of voters

Prime Minister Sam Hinds congratulates Elisabeth Harper - describes her as a Guyanese of ‘exceptional’ national commitment
GUYANA’s longest serving Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds, yesterday extended his congratulations to Elisabeth Harper, the new Prime Ministerial candidate for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), ahead of the May 11 polls. “I extend heartiest congratulations to Ms. Elisabeth Harper, Director-General, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. DG, as she is familiarly known – on the announcement of her selection as prime ministerial candidate for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) in the up-coming national
and regional elections, on May 11, 2015,” he said. The incumbent prime minister added that Harper is a Guyanese of “exceptional national” commitment. “I am confident [that she] would work with everyone in pursuit of the national “good.” Indeed, I commend Ms. Elisabeth Harper to all of our PPP/C supporters and to all Guyanese,” he said. The outgoing official also urged that the Guyanese people join him in ensuring a victory for the Ramotar-Harper team. “Do join me in winning every vote that we can, for Mr. Donald Ramotar as President, and Ms. Elisabeth Harper as Prime Minister,” he said. Hinds, now 71 years old, was expected to relinquish his post this year. He first became Prime Minister under Dr Cheddi Jagan in 1992, following the October 1992 election, which was won by an alliance of the Sam Hinds People's Progressive Party
(PPP) and a group of civil society members, the Civic component, which included Hinds. The party’s Civic component comprises Guyanese who are willing to contribute to the development of Guyana and who are supportive of the PPP’s agenda, but are not PPP members. Since 1992, the tradition has been that the party’s presidential candidate comes from the PPP, while its Prime Ministerial candidate is taken from its Civic component. When Dr. Jagan died in March 1997, Hinds became President himself, relinquishing his Prime Ministerial post, but later resigned in December of that year, in favour of Mrs. Janet Jagan. Elections were subsequently held in December 1997, and when the PPP/C won, Mrs. Jagan re-appointed him Prime Minister. He was retained under the next presidency, that of Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, and then again under the current Administration, headed by President Donald Ramotar. Prime Minister Hinds has given more than two decades of sterling service to Guyana. Hinds is a chemical engineer who studied in Canada, and was General Superintendent of the Research and Development Division at Linmine.(Vanessa Narine)

Editorial Unmasking the corruption cry GUYANESE over the past three years have been bombarded by the recycled claims by the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) that the Government is corrupt, and should be voted out of office. The constant repetition of the message, which is often devoid of any proper substantiation, is done deliberately with the hope that it would stick and they will achieve their aim of getting their hands on the reins of power. For anyone following the media, this is not news the least bit, as the combined Opposition has always been strident and unapologetic in their public posture, probably to outdo each other, in painting the Government in bad light. The accusation of corruption has been their mantra, as they maintain a momentum at being vicious and unrelenting, so much so that any major project of the Administration is labelled as corrupt. With the ferocity upheld by the AFC and APNU, it is difficult to take them seriously as most of their claims have been
based on hearsay rather than compelling evidence. And no doubt, they will be holding this stance as they hit the elections trail, handin-hand in their ‘marriage of convenience’, hoping to secure victory at the May 11 polls, which they used their one-seat majority in Parliament to precipitate. Here is where the electorate will have to be alert and ask themselves a salient question: What has the AFC and APNU done to improve their lives and the country which they are fighting to assume rulership? It is universally acknowledged that corruption stagnates development and keeps the poor in poverty as political leaders turn a blind eye to their constituency, and rely on brainwashing the people to maintain traditional support. The question has to be asked of the accuser on whether they have any moral ground to sprout their claims of corruption against the Government given their performance in 10th Parliament. It has been an undeniable fact that notwithstanding the claims of Govern-
ment corruption, Guyana has enjoyed nine years of consecutive economic growth, development has not abated, and the lives of the people and image of Guyana have been greatly improved from the position of ‘shame and shambles’ that it was some two decades ago. Corruption is not only about the siphoning-off of money but also the use of office for personal gain, and on this point, closer examination has to be paid to the actions of the Parliamentary Opposition, more particularly their voting down of billions of dollars to improve the lives of all Guyanese. Many of these same Guyanese are their supporters, whom they would have promised to use the confidence vested in them, to work in a manner that is not inimical to their development. But yet the nation was made to watch the combined Opposition, even in defiance of a High Court ruling, slashed monies for various developmental projects it conveniently labelled as “corrupt”, including monies for Amerindian development. The motive was clear: all Government projects must be painted as corrupt and
AFC members scream infidelity after Nagamootoo’s ‘marriage’ with Granger RECENT exodus of Alliance For Change (AFC) members from the party has shown a disappointment in the decision made by the party leaders to form a coalition with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). During the 2 ½ years of courtship in Parliament, Moses Nagamootoo and the AFC denied ever having wedding plans. It was not until their nuptial night, which coincides with St. Valentine’s Day, that they disclosed that they would be a part of, what Guyanese would call, ‘business wedding’. The disgruntled former members stated they were not informed of the deci-
- it turns out that Guyana’s political ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is not a story of true love sion and highlighted that the party had internal crises prior to the bonding. It was highlighted that there was mismanagement of funds and unaccounted spending. $21M was found to be unaccounted for in the party’s budget and it leaves one to wonder if the AFC gave the APNU that sum as ‘a dowry’. The members have also said that leaders displayed undemocratic conduct. The sudden rise of Nagamootoo has raised allegations of cronyism within the AFC.
The elections of the party were also reportedly rigged by the current party leaders. Mr. Balwant Persaud, a former AFC member, said in an interview, “But recently, the AFC has deceived the members of the party by aligning with the APNU… the AFC’s Executives are just selfish … the leaders of the AFC are just concerned about getting into Parliament and holding positions”. I would like the AFC’s supporters and the APNU supporters to examine the nature of this mar-
Guyana
riage that has taken place. This marriage is not a marriage out of love and mutual respect. The marriage we have seen here is a ‘business wedding’. It turns out that “Guyana’s political Romeo and Juliet” is not a story of true love. If their supporters have any decency they would abandon this sinking ship like Mr. Sixtus Edwards and Mr. Balwant Persaud did. DARREN CLEMENTSON
development must not continue at a rapid pace. No one will disagree that Guyana is not free of corruption, but the Opposition has been using corruption as a smokescreen to brainwash the electorate to get their votes. The cutting of monies for vital projects therefore is not necessarily about corruption, but more about vindictiveness in their bit to gain power. Undoubtedly, it is clear as day that this is flagrant use of office for personal gain, and in this case, the brainwashing of their supporters by pretending to be militant against corruption, to hold on to their seats in Parliament and at the regional level. If this is not corrupt, then what is? And from all indications, given that General and Regional Elections are around the corner, it is unlikely that the corruption mantra, seemingly the trump card of the Opposition will simmer down. The people will have to take note, but perhaps it would be wiser for both of the now formal partners, the AFC and APNU, to look themselves in the mirror before they speak about corruption.
Kudos to Education Ministry I WISH to utilise your letter column to compliment the Ministry of Education for producing the Atlantic Readers books for the primary schools. It is my belief that the Minister of Education Ms. Priya Manickchand deserves full expression of our gratitude. I am hoping that soon we will see the same being done with respect to the production of primary Mathematics texts unless the current texts being used are adjudged suitable by the experts within the Ministry of Education.

Moses forgot a few things - in his over ambitious quest to lead people to the promised land
THE political situation in Guyana today is a situation of gross shortsightedness, I make mention of the politician Moses Nagamootoo. In his over ambitious quest for power he has forgotten a lot of things when he formed that coalition with the PNC/APNU, chief of which is the human factor. Never did he for one moment taken into consideration that human beings, people, will have a major say in any deal, agreement or the likes of anything in the political game he has entered into. So here’s the AFC’s dilemma: An in-depth look at the coalition clearly shows that Moses was working under the mathematical assumption that if 10 people do a job in two days, then 20 persons can do that same job in one day. Well, that is as far as it goes on paper but in real life you must take into consideration the variables, one of which is the human factor. Should I put it this way, the people were unlikely partners or ‘non advisors’ in the consultations. Their views, opinions or suggestions were never featured anywhere in that agreement; it were as if they never existed. This whole coalition thing was between
two power-hungry entities done in the name of the people. But before I get carried away in that line of argument, let me get back to my main discourse. Variable number one, 1964 (not that he is not knowledgeable of this glaring variable) but power hunger and selfishness drove him to the brink so that this glaring aspect was wiped out of his mind completely. In Moses’ present state-of-mind, 1964 never existed as he rushed headlong into a coalition. A neglect of such magnitude is bound to have serious consequences. The AFC bandwagon forgot that the PNC is not a party to play around with; in any alliance they are the quintessential party when it comes to reneging on unity arrangements. By 1967 their coalition partner, the United Force (UF), was wiped out by Forbes Burnham and his thieving, rigging party was in total control with there being no need for the UF. This is what is going to happen to the AFC, should the APNU/PNC/AFC alliance happen to win an election here. So my advice to Moses and crew members: Don’t you fool yourselves with the bright idea that you are a “partner” in anything. This is not a partner-
ship. It is a situation where you are helping the PNC/APNU to reach for stardom. Second variable and the heart of the whole discussion is ‘the people’, that is, those members within and without the party; would they be comfortable with a union with PNC/ APNU? People are important. They are the ones who will have to vote for you. To make an agreement without their permission, then turn around and now ask them to vote for you is a grave insult to their intelligence. Talk about corruption then look no further than the AFC, they are riddled with under-the-table, backstreet deals. Payrolls that cannot be audited. This is truly a cowboy party. Their finances are a reflection of the way the party is. You see, dear readers, this party was formed with the blessings of a rich elite group here in Guyana. And if my memory serves me right, they have the firm backing of a superpower as well as the wealthy in the diaspora, so the dough is great. The point is, whenever money is in plentiful supply, opportunists abound and the present AFC cabal is a prime
Who is responsible for the housing boom? THE housing sector in Guyana is now bustling. It is estimated that everyday 8 people become a home owner for the very first time. This is just one of the many symbolic achievements of Guyana. It is very important that we know how we arrived at this point today. Guyanese citizens were faced with enormous difficulties obtaining land, and lending rates were very high. I’m not saying that the system is flawless now, but I would like to emphasise the fact that we have come a long way in this sector. In the year 1992, the weighted bank lending rate had exceeded 30%; this was coupled by low wages and significant rises in prices nationwide. It was extremely difficult to repay loans in that time. The results were a sluggish sector and thousands of families without a home of their own. As of the year 2012, the lending rate was reduced to 10.5%; a 20% drop. Low income owners enjoy rates as low as 4.9% -
6.9% in the facilitation of home construction. This has allowed thousands of persons to access loans without the fear of defaulting. Middle income earners are also benefitting from this low interest rate. Middle income loans start at 10% for an 8 million dollar mortgage loan. It is no wonder that so many beautiful houses are being erected in schemes such as Tuschen and Parfait Harmonie. The lowering of interest rates have made these loans easier to repay, this is a ‘far cry’ from the days before. Guyana has emerged as a country where the people are victorious. Many can now enjoy the comfort of their home. This shows the current administration’s dedication to the people. The good management of the nation’s economic affairs shows the PPP cares for the welfare of all Guyanese citizens. JAMES McCLOUD
The hallmarks of good governance THE Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) released a report last week in which Guyana was placed among the lowest in the Caribbean in terms of debt to GDP ratio. According to the release, Guyana’s debt ratio stands at 58 percent of GDP which is considerably better than several other countries in the Region, including Jamaica and Barbados. This is indeed a commendable performance especially when seen against the high debt burden which the current PPP/C administration inherited from the PNC on October 1992. President Donald Ramotar has certainly continued to build on the foundation set by earlier PPP/C administrations in putting the economy on a solid and sustainable growth trajectory. What is even more significant is that even as the debt burden continues to decline relative to the GDP, there is massive
investment in terms of infrastructural development and human resources management. This is in sharp contrast to what obtained under the PNC regime when the country was saddled with a crippling debt burden with little or nothing to show for it. Indeed, Guyana under the PNC was considered as a Highly Indebted Poor Country and at one time was declared ineligible for further IMF loans. The country was deemed ‘uncreditworthy’ and western financial institutions refused to do business with Guyana. Today, all of that has changed, thanks to prudent management of the economy and fiscal discipline which are the hallmarks of good governance on the part of the PPP/C Government. HYDAR ALLY
example. Where is the money? How is the money spent, give us an audit of your income and expenditure? Those are the questions that the AFC’s inner circle cannot and will not give. Isn’t this a foretaste of what will happen should these people get into power? To think of it, these are the people who want to rule over us. Interesting! These are the very same individuals who are castigating the PPP/C of corruption when they themselves are an epitome of corruption. The bottom-line is: Can they be trusted? And the answer is a resounding NO! I have laid out the facts before you, my dear readers, this is it. So, come May 11th, I would like you to make that intelligent decision to put the party that has the capacity to govern this country impartially. NEIL ADAMS

The APNU/AFC dance for Mashramani 2015 Analysis by Rickey Singh
A S G u y a n e s e w e re c a u g h t u p o n F r i d a y w i t h preparations for this weekend’s final rounds of Mashramani celebrations, politicians of two Opposition parties --- PNC and AFC --were meeting with the media to announce further arrangements for their anti-PPP electoral front at the coming May 11 General and Regional elections. Of relevance Friday, February 20, was previously announced by the PNC’s leader, David Granger - in his capacity as chairman of APNU (A Partnership for National Unity) - to launch that party’s official campaign for the May 11 elections to coincide with the birth anniversary of the late Forbes Burnham, patriarch of the PNC and first Executive President. Instead there was the political shift from APNU’s promised launch of its official campaign for the May 11 elections to a shared press conference by representatives of APNU and AFC - minus, strangely, their respective leaders (Granger and Khemraj Ramjattan) - with updates on how they plan to keep their ‘marriage’ together but contesting as two separate parties! According to media reports out of Guyana, there were NO references to the significance of February 20 being associated
with the birth anniversary of the late PNC leader and the coming May elections. Hence, there are speculations whether this silence resulted from fear of further contributing to spreading internal conflicts within the PNC over too much concessions already made by APNU for its ‘marriage of convenience’ with the AFC? THE REALITY The reality, of course, is that the junior ‘partner’ for this political wedlock, AFC, would not wish to be perceived as now going silent on decades-long controversies pertaining to institutionalised electoral fraud under Burnham’s leadership in governance of this nation. Having failed over months of negotiations to forge an anti-PPP electoral alliance, the PNC and AFC were to make the surprising recent announcement that they had attained such an objective. Nevertheless, in the absence of any known public endorsement by their respective primary decisionmaking bodies - certainly not one from a special delegates conference, as a normal practice for established parliamentary parties - the earlier “unity platform” emphasis was focused on APNU’s Granger as Presidential candidate and ex-PPP Moses Nagamootoo as his Prime Ministerial running-mate.
Hundreds of scouts celebrate Founder’s Day in Linden
MORE than 350 members of the Scouts Association of Guyana came out in Linden, Region 10, on February 15 for a Parade and Day of Sports to celebrate the life of Lord Baden Powell, its founder. Lord Baden-Powell was the founder of the Scout movement and the first Chief Scout of the Boy Scout Movement. Scouts came from as far as Tain in Berbice and Parika in Essequibo. For many of them, it was their first visit to the bauxite mining town of Linden and they were very excited to have such an experience. Lindeners came out in large numbers to view the parade along the Winifred Gaskin Highway, Silvertown, Wismar, and which ended at the Bayroc community ground. The march past was taken by Deputy Chief Commissioner, Andrew Ramcharitar, District Commissioner, Charissa Rampersaud and Assistant District Commissioner of Linden, Nadia Jones. In scouting, Founder’s Day is celebrated on February 22, the birthday of Lord Baden Powell. Many scout groups around the world plan special activities throughout this month to celebrate his life. The scouts had a packed day playing football, cricket, three-legged races, pitch the coin, tyre-race and tug-o-war. The Scout Movement started in 1907 and is the oldest and largest youth movement in the world. Scouting started in Guyana in 1909 and is still going strong and expanding.

In their “political marriage of last Valentine’s Day”, Guyanese are now learning that while APNU and AFC intend on “staying together” for the coming elections with shared platforms, they would retain their respective name and campaign symbol. Further, while so identified, the marriage partners are to identify, in accordance with elections regulations, their respective list of candidates for the 65-member Parliament. Basically, the known and behind-the-scene architects and sponsors of the APNU/AFC pre-elections “unity” formation is the latest anti-PPP move to form a “coalition government”. FIRST BETRAYAL The first such betrayal dates back to the December 1964 elections when, despite a well-documented official British/ American plan, the then incumbent PPP-led government, having secured the single largest bloc of parliamentary seats was denied a constitutional-based first RIGHT to form a coalition government. It was to be the last “free and fair” elections under successive PNC-led governments for a quarter century. More later. Stay good and watchful while the amusing political scenarios unfold.

The Adolescent AIDS epidemic NO one would dispute the great damage that HIV and AIDS have inflicted on the global scene over the last three decades. Indeed, the harm remains phenomenal for poor societies where entire economies continue to experience devastation, and where for some time now, adolescents (aged 10-19) remain vulnerable to HIV infection and who comprise a growing group of the HIV-infected. For instance, among adolescents for Africa, AIDS is the leading cause of death, and globally, it is the second most leading cause of death.(1) In 2013 globally, there were 2,100,000 adolescents with HIV, of which there were 250,000 new infections among adolescents, and where two-thirds were adolescent females; (2) again globally in 2013, 120,000 adolescents died of AIDS-related illnesses; and it was the only age group where deaths from AIDS were not declining; in fact, all the other age groups had a 38% reduction in AIDSrelated deaths between 2005 and 2013. In addition, globally, adolescents within key population groups as gay and bisexual adolescents, transgender adolescents, those adolescents who trade sex, and druginjecting adolescents, face a high risk for contracting HIV, and

(2) Due to this sustained adolescent plight three decades into the HIV and AIDS affliction, many leaders from around the world gathered in Nairobi, Kenya on February 15, 2015 to launch a new platform called ‘All In’ to speak to the gaps in HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support provision for adolescents. UNAIDS, UNICEF, UNFPA, WHO, PEPFAR, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and youth movements represented by PACT and Y+ all came together with Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta to launch All In and to express a collective voice on the growing adolescent AIDS epidemic. The ‘All In’ called for action in four areas (2): engaging, mobilising and empowering adolescents as initiators of change; upgrading
data collection to produce better programming; support innovative approaches to provide adolescents with critical services consistent with their needs; and presenting the plight of adolescent on political agendas to hasten real action and marshal muchneeded resources. F u r t h e r, i n 2 0 1 3 , t h e World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), presented a publication to bring adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) closely under the radar for HIV testing and counseling, treatment, care, and support. The overview to this publication indicated that: “Adolescents (10–19 years) and young people (20–24 years) continue to be vulnerable, both socially and economically, to HIV infection despite efforts to date. This is particularly true for adolescents - especially girls - who live in settings with a generalized HIV epidemic or who are members of key populations at higher risk for HIV acquisition or transmission through sexual transmission and injecting drug use. In 2012, there were approximately 2.1 million adolescents living with HIV. About one-seventh of all new HIV infections occur during adolescence.”(3) These concerns relate to the perception that many adults globally were graduating from HIV to an AIDS status in their twenties. Therefore, given that the median time from HIV to AIDS is 9.4 years (4), it is possible to conclude that many young people with HIV contracted the infection in their adolescence; also, indeed, there are those adolescents who became HIV-infected through mother-to-child-transmission. These aforementioned statistics and observations attest to a growing adolescent AIDS epidemic and present significant negative implications for social and economic development, especially for resource-constrained countries. And indeed, HIV services must speak to both HIV-infected adolescents as well as provide effective HIV prevention interventions for HIV-free adolescents.

VOLUNTEERISM & YOUTH - The importance of volunteerism to young job seekers
By Keith Burrowes BEFORE I proceed with this week’s article, I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to Ambassador Elisabeth Harper, who will be the Prime Ministerial candidate for the PPP/C at the upcoming May 11 General and Regional elections. I wish to also indicate that this is the first of a threepart series examining the whole concept of volunteerism specifically with regard to recruitment of young people with no work experience. It is also my intention to address once again the issue of developing an Accreditation mechanism that would contribute to enhancing the Curricula Vitae (CVs) of job-seekers. I also hope to address relatively sensitive issues with regard to enhancing our labour force by strategically enhancing our population, which may well mean the adoption of initiatives which will result in persons from other countries being invited to support the development of Guyana. I wish to leave with my readers the following scenario: “How do we expect young people with no work experience to get employment, when a major hurdle is lack of work experience.” Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering my services on several State boards and other organisations. On the one hand, it is rewarding work, the primary benefit for me being the opportunity to serve the country. The work, even
I wish to once again express my sincere thanks to those persons and intuitions that have made these articles possible including the Guyana Chronicle specifically the Editorial and IT staff, R. Johnson, D. Francis and other individuals who have reviewed and provided editorial support in ensuring the publication of these articles. I also wish to thank the readers for their feedback which provided me with the new ideas to write on. though voluntary, is as strenuous and demanding as any paid job however and, like others similarly tasked, I’ve had to be creative in making sure that I deliver the best possible input into whatever role I undertake. Over the years of my involvement in such activities, I
would not have been able to stretch myself as admittedly thin as I have without the support of a cadre of young people, whose commitment has proven to me a debunking of the myth that our youth have little interest or ability when it comes to serious work. Whereas, far too many see a position on a board as a status symbol in itself, proof that they are a notch above the average citizen. I believe that not only does it represent the ability to prove one’s nationalism, but to transmit that sense of commitment as widely as possible while providing the opportunity for the upcoming generation to learn things that will be useful to them down the line. The approach I’ve used is to explore the extent to which I could involve young people – once basic concerns of professionalism, confidentiality or conflicts of interest are not breached – in supporting the work I am doing and my payback has not just been the ability to carry out my assigned work easier, but a chance to see youthful innovation and inventiveness at work. Most importantly, the job that I’ve undertaken gets done – the board benefits, the entity benefits, and Keith Burrowes the country benefits. Far too many young people in Guyana today are not afforded the avenues for outlet for their intellectual energy. In contrast, there are a considerable number of people who have accumulated a wealth of knowledge in various fields. Several people I know that have served on boards or other policy-making mechanisms for years, as much as a decade or more in some cases, during which time they would have accumulated a fair amount of technical knowledge, in addition to institutional memory. For me, this falls into the realm of the issue of the transfer of knowledge, one which I’ve dealt with before in this column, and will return to again. For now, by way of example, I could say this: I have seen various organisations retain, over a number of years, various expatriate consultants to work on the very same issue. What was missing from their operational model, in my estimation, was a mechanism in
which knowledge pertinent to whatever needed to be fixed was transferred to local personnel, preventing the perpetual dependency of the respective organisations. To be fair, I know at least one donor organisation I worked with which had a practice of “twinning” their consultants with local counterparts, although this is more the exception than the rule. I would humbly suggest - and this is something I will give much greater development in a subsequent article - that perhaps a special mechanism be established when engaging not just donors, but commercial enterprises as well. We are on the verge of tremendous ventures in exploitation of our petroleum resources, for example: I believe that a system of building incentive options – linking the sharing of specialist knowledge to specific benefits – into whatever agreements are being made can be a feasible option. I’m not speaking here of training of the local personnel on the entity workforce, which is a separate issue, but a “twinning” of specialist personnel with tertiary education students, from either the University of Guyana or the various technical institutes, as well as the labour colleges. My point is that we need to move beyond engaging foreign corporate investors using the usual institutions such as GO-Invest, the GRA and the Ministry of Finance, but to also come up with ways in which they can commit to our learning institutions. Of course, it would be prudent for those institutions to at least strive to meet these agencies halfway. The petroleum industry, cited above, may not be operational at present, nor is the hydropower industry; this does not mean however that our institutions of higher learning cannot be proactive in preparing for their advent. While we cannot practically expect a full programme tailored to the engineering needs of, say, the petroleum industry, there is the scope for the current engineering curriculum to organise one course, or some other facility, tailored to a specific element of that industry, such as basic petroleum extraction for example. All that said, I strongly believe that we need to start creatively engaging the energy and capabilities of our young people, in the many avenues which are available; and perhaps over time we would see the youths traditional choices of career aspirations changing from doctor and lawyer. For me personally, and I’ve said this publicly, one of the things that has kept me going over the years is the knowledge that, while the work is being done, a few members of our country’s next generation of leaders are being given some of the tools they will need to succeed. Happy Mashramani to all my readers!

Further, the CMO pointed out that this issue also has a great effect on the economy, due to the fact that the victims cannot function at full capacity. According to Dr Persaud, the Ministry of

- submerging of AFC into the problem-prone bosom of APNU
By Shaun Samaroo WHAT happened to the “third force” change that the Alliance For Change (AFC) promised the Guyanese people? The AFC told us they would change the political history of Guyana. Did they forget that promise? We ought to consider two factors as we move forward from here, as we choose to write the story of our nation’s future, from this pivotal point in our history. The talk of the nation today is the submerging of the AFC into the problem-prone bosom of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), with the move generating both consternation for many, and a faint kind of hope for some, with heated debates in the homeland, and in the diaspora. The AFC launched with big fanfare just before the 2006 elections, with the noble goal of Raphael Trotman and
In an objective analysis of the facts over the course of our history, we see that the promises of the AFC, PNC and UF led our nation into turmoil and tragedy. Khemraj Ramjattan to partner in a gallant and giant step to heal the political and ethnic divide that stemmed from the split in 1953 between Dr Cheddi Jagan and Forbes Burnham, which had resulted in the two-party system of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) and the People’s National Congress (PNC). In a weird echo of history, the AFC’s subjection to APNU recalls the memory of the PNC’s coalition with Peter d’Aguair’s United Force (UF) in 1964 that propelled the PPP out of Government, and the coalition into power, a regime that became draconian, detrimental and dictatorial, with the UF ditching the PNC Government within three years, and many of our English settlers here, our Portugese and our elite merchant class migrating in droves to Canada, England, the US and the Caribbean. In fact, that first wave of migration opened the door to a bleeding of the brain drain out of Guyana, whereby today, we hold the world record for national brain drain. As we ponder the ramifications of the AFC-APNU coalition of convenience, we must consider that this move in fact echoes what happened in 1964: history is Mankind’s best teacher. What consequences resulted from the UF-PNC coalition in 1964? By 1980, the PNC Government had collapsed in its moral and ethical conduct to the tragic point that the State executed shadowy plots to assassinate our outstanding national scholar, Dr Walter Rodney. We know many would say we cannot regurgitate “the past” and we cannot keep repeating “what happened in the 28 years of the PNC” and that “the PPP Government is corrupt and must go”. These naïve views ignore rational and balanced analysis of our situation today: the Guyanese nation must introspect, look into our hearts, and see what happened to us to bring us to where we are today. This is necessary to simply allow us to cleanse our soul and mental memory of the trauma that became the root of our corruption today, of our ethical and moral decay as a society, where a traffic policeman would sooner take a
bribe than serve and protect and ensure justice is served to the citizen. By the 1970’s, as the PNC propelled us into a sickening spiral of the most corrupt, dictatorial regime in the history of the Commonwealth Caribbean, and the UF got reduced to irrelevance, we resorted to another third political force, with a broad civic coalition forming into a political movement, the Working People’s Alliance (WPA). The WPA became engaged in a noble and sacrificial struggle against the PNC regime, and suffered enormous hurt and pain, with its leader, Dr Rodney, assassinated, in what evidence at the Presidential Rodney Commission, now going on, is showing to be a PNC State-sponsored political intrigue. How could we blissfully ignore the awfully terrible irony of the tragedy that has befallen the WPA? As we see emerging from the Rodney Commission, a process of revelation that many of the political pundits ignore, the WPA faced hostile and brutal oppression and suppression under the PNC. Yet, its leaders today made a fundamental blunder, submerging itself with the PNC in the original APNU formation. Why? The ultimate motivation that drives the Opposition, under the leadership of the PNC, is the same as 1964: obsession with getting the PPP out of Government. Now, the WPA is on the verge of becoming irrelevant, with its role in APNU reduced to merely making up numbers, with the AFC now superseding it in power and prestige within the Opposition. Our hearts as Guyanese must go out to the WPA. This movement suffered so much. It is as unfair and as hard-hearted for it now to be pushed aside as an influential APNU force, as when it suffered in the 1970’s and 1980’s for its role in the Guyanese fight for democracy. Another factor we cannot escape is this APNU-AFC obsession with the removal of the PPP from Government. This is exactly the motive that moved the UF in 1964 to collate with the PNC, only to regret it. Our experiment with third forces show two things: political coalitions have focused around the PNC, with bitter results, and those coalitions formed with the soul motive of ridding the PPP from Government. How this obvious history lesson escapes the leaders of the AFC as they merge under APNU is puzzling. The UF suffered in its association with the PNC. The WPA suffered in its relationship with the PNC, through two decades of suppression, spying and political plotting, and assassination of its leaders. The WPA submerged itself into APNU, and today is on the verge of absolute irrelevance, if not eradication as a Party and a movement. The PPP formed a successful civic coalition prior to the 1992 elections, while several political fronts, including the WPA and other political movements, refusing to collate with it to form the 1992 democratically-elected Government. How strange that the WPA has treated the PPP with such distrust and disdain. Today, the PPP Government under President Donald Ramotar is writing the amasing and beautiful story of the WPA through the Rodney Commission, even as
its leader, Dr Rupert Roopnarine, suffers the Party’s slow stifling in APNU. To its credit, the UF, under the leadership of Manzoor Nadir, joined the wide-ranging Civic alliance, the Guyana Action for Reform and Democracy (GUARD) to partner with the PPP in the most successful civic-political pact in Guyana. Why is the WPA so mean to the PPP? Dr Jagan and Dr Rodney fought together to restore democracy to our nation. The PPP has championed the cause of justice and truth for the WPA, with the Rodney Commission trumpeting the glorious history of the WPA. A balanced look at our political history would reveal one glaring fact: Opposition political parties always seem to collate around the PNC with one single-minded goal. This goal is to get rid of the PPP Government. As happened in 1964, 51 years later, it’s happening again. The AFC cannot ignore its own motives for this obsession to remove the PPP from Government. Former PPP stalwarts and staunch defenders, Khemraj Ramjattan and Moses Nagamootoo, make no pretense of their quest for revenge and vengeance against what they call the PPP Jagdeo-Ramotar clique. With this eye for revenge politics, AFC leaders talk constantly of jailing members of the PPP Government and obsessive focus on allegations and accusations of corruption and nepotism within Government. This is what motivates the AFC-APNU coalition, this deep-seated obsession with the removal of the PPP Government. Unlike 1964, however, when, as now, we saw the Western diplomatic community sympathise with a vengeful Opposition and an unbalanced private media fraternity, as they all ganged up against the Dr Cheddi Jagan-led PPP Government, today the PPP has built a strong and successful civic engagement. Its civic pact works well, and it’s astonishing that the PPP-Civic agreement stood the test of time over two-and-a-half decades, surely a world record for Government anywhere in the world. These thoughts become important because vociferous critics perpetuate a story of Guyana that spins the tall tale that the PPP is bad and the PNC-led APNU is good. To this day, however, the PNC has never officially apologised to the Guyanese nation for its nasty role in crippling the economic and social foundation of Guyana. The PPP has spent the past 23 years rebuilding that foundation, and despite the many setbacks and missteps and hindrances, the PPP has taken Guyana to an envious

Former PNCR executive says...
APNU gives ‘store with goods’ to AFC - coalition move was necessary to enable AFC’s survival
By Tajeram Mohabir FORMER People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) executive member, Joseph Hamilton has accused the A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) of “selling out the store and goods in it” through the coalition deal it struck with junior Opposition partner, the Alliance For Change (AFC). According to Hamilton, it is bewildering that “a party with no constituency” and seven seats in Parliament “would be guaranteed 12 seats in the House” if the alliance, which is yet to be named, “emerges victorious at the May 11 polls.” Under the pact reached by the two Opposition Parties, dubbed the ‘Cummingsburg Accord’, it was agreed that there will be a 60/40 allocation in Cabinet positions in favour of APNU. The David Granger-led APNU and the AFC have said that the deal was brokered in the best interest of the people, as they reiterated their goal of removing the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government from office, which they contend is corrupt. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, Mr. Hamilton, the PPP/C Parliamentary Secretary with responsibility for Health, said even though the deal has been agreed, based on his knowledge of the thinking of the PNCR there is a strong likelihood that it will be met with strong reservations. He described the move by the small party as a “brilliant stroke to prolong
its survival,” noting that in the history of local politics, the electorate has never been kind to third parties, and the AFC would have become increasingly aware of this. In 2006, Hamilton pointed out that the party
APNU Leader, David Granger was able to secure five seats in Parliament following the elections, as many PNCR supporters were upset with the leadership of Robert Corbin. The AFC was therefore able to expand its gains as many PPP supporters in Berbice were deeply disappointed at the way Moses Nagamootoo had departed from the party (PPP). VOTED IN SYMPATHY They felt, Hamilton said, that Nagamootoo, a long-time PPP executive member was “pushed out” of the ruling party, and voted in sympathy for the party he joined, the AFC. But, he contended, like any other situation sympathy like time dissipates, pointing out that there was a similar situation with former PNC Prime Minister Hamilton
Green. Green was removed as Prime Minister by then President Desmond Hoyte and expelled from the PNC, but with his followers in the party, he formed the Good and Green Guyana (GGG) party which won the

Mayorship of Georgetown when Local Government Elections were last held in 1994. Today, Hamilton pointed out, the GGG is non-existent, and sympathy for Green has disappeared. However, he stressed that unlike Green who was able to stick with his supporters for many years, the same cannot be said about Nagamootoo, contending that given h i s p a r t y ’s a c t i o n s i n Parliament, his credibility is eroding faster than one could imagine as neither he, nor the AFC has done anything to improve the lot of their supporters. Wo r s t y e t , h e s a i d , both AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan and executive Nagamootoo had told their supporters that they would never coalesce with APNU, noting that the recent move by the small party is not only
done to itself after the 2011 elections, and would have noted the resurgence of the PNCR through APNU and the PPP recovering support it had lost at the last elections. On this basis, he said the leaders of the party would have examined its future and realised that its chances of a decent showing at the polls were “very slim.” HAD NO CHOICE As such, Hamilton said it had no choice but to join APNU with the hope of establishing a dominant role in the coalition, and try to profit as much as it can from any blunders of the PNCRdominated coalition by trying to distance itself from them. This, he said, is one of the primary ways the AFC would be able to survive in the coalition, but warned
that the folks in the PNC are not naïve, and naturally and quite understandably, their long-term goal would be to swallow up the AFC and outgrow the alliance. He said that there is no sign that the PNCR has lost its identity in APNU, and not many who intimately know the party would believe that it is not interested in returning to the political scene on its own. But he pointed to other issues with the APNU-AFC alliance. He said a vast majority of supporters who threw their support behind the AFC did so as they were tired of the politics of the established PPP/C and the PNCR and want to experience something different. However, Hamilton said from 2011 to 2014, the AFC failed miserably to present itself as an alternative to the two major parties which have dominated the local political scene for more than five decades. PARTNERS AGAINST DEVELOPMENT Instead, he said, the AFC found solace in APNU, and joined with it in voting down projects that would have benefited all Guyanese, including their own supporters. The combined Opposition, the AFC and APNU, had said that its action was geared at curbing wasteful spending and weeding out corruption, but Hamilton said this is far from the truth, pointing out that it was a well orchestrated move to punish the Government,
even if it means that the people have to suffer. By doing this, he said that they were hoping to achieve their goal of turning the people against the Government, so that the people will vote them out of office. On this score, the PPP/C Parliamentary Secretary said too that the claim by Nagamootoo that an AFCAPNU alliance will remove the PPP from office is “farfetched.” The AFC-APNU alliance has based their claims on the results of the last General and Regional Elections, when APNU secured 41 percent of the votes and the AFC 10 percent. According to Hamilton, this situation is hardly likely to reoccur, given the AFC and APNU’s “vindictive actions” in Parliament and the disappearance of a party holding the middle ground. He said it is unlikely that supporters who choose the middle ground would vote for an APNUAFC alliance, since it is nothing more than old and once bitter PPP and PNC comrades, who have done little to improve the lives of their supporters, collaborating to get their hands on the reins of power. On this note, Hamilton said he is confident that with the many persons who had shunned the PPP in 2011 returning to the party, and many of their legitimate issues being addressed, the party is on the path to regaining its status as a majority Government, come May 11.

May 11 Election will determine Guyana’s continual growth - President Ramotar By Gary Eleazar
“ON May 11th, it’s not just an ordinary election; these elections will determine if our country will continue on the growth path we have taken over the years.” This was the exhortation of none other than Head of State, President Donald Ramotar, who this past week paid a surprise visit to those in attendance at the Progressive Youth Organisation’s (PYO) Mash Camp at the party’s Robb Street Head Office, Freedom
“I am looking forward to your support individually ‘and collectively, so that we can take our country forward” – President Ramotar
“How can they want to protect our society from criminals and vote two times against the anti-money laundering Bill,” Ramotar inquired of the PYO members. The amendments to pieces of legislation, according to the President, would have given the Government powers to not only jail drug lords when found guilty, but to also seize property and money, eliminating the scourge from society in the process. “When they voted against that Bill, they indicated clearly where they stand as far as criminals are concerned,” said President Ramotar. MAY 11 ELECTIONS It was against this background that the President made his clarion call to the young party supporters and accentuated, “May 11th, it’s not just an ordinary

ANTI-YOUNG PEOPLE In his appeal to the young voters gathered to assist the PYO prepare for the Mashramani celebrations, President Ramotar used the opportunity to remind them of the prevailing political environment. Speaking to the actions of the combined Opposition, the President spoke to the fact that the AFC/APNU duo in the House used its one-seat majority to slash funding for a number of development programmes and services. “They cut the budget with which we give loans to students attending the University of Guyana…How can they speak seriously about education and developing our young people and
INDIVIDUALLY/COLLECTIVELY Captivating the scores gathered for the event, the President stressed that the most important factor for the development of the country is its people. “The quality of people that we have is what is going to push us forward and we know that by providing sound education for them, we are creating the quality that is going to take us forward,’ the President declared. This, he said, has been demonstrated over the past nine years where, despite a financial crisis that gripped the world, “Guyana’s economy was one of the few that kept growing consistently because our education standard is growing and it is helping us with our production and our productivity.”
House, and gave a pre-election pep talk. Songs, dances and other cultural performances were features of the evening, but as young Guyanese revelled in preparation for tomorrow’s Republic Day, Mashramani celebrations, Ramotar used the opportunity to remind his audience of the importance of the 2015 General and Regional Elections. ANTI-DEVELOPMETAL According to the President, it is important to pay attention to the developments over the past three years and pointed to the fact that the combined political Opposition continuously sought to frustrate Government’s development plans. “Totally anti-developmental,” was the label the President assigned the combined Opposition and asked, “how else can we explain the fact that they have voted against a project like Amaila Falls (Hydro Electric) Project, that had the potential of creating thousands of well-paying jobs for our young people; how can they say they like young people and vote against a project of that nature.” He surmised: “Clearly, we have been dealing with a people who are totally, absolutely anti-developmental.” The President pointed too to the political Opposition’s stance on amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill and in its inherent adverse consequences.
President Donald Ramotar addresses the PYO Mash Camp Election.” According to the President, “this election will determine if our country will continue on the growth path that we have taken over the years.” Reflecting on the 2011 General and Regional Elections, the President reminded the youngsters that the incumbent People’s Progressive Party (PPP) had warned that the two political Opposition parties, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) were “two sides of the same coin.”
cut the budget.” These students that depend on the loans provided for by Government are those in need of it since they would not be able to afford a university education otherwise, according to the President. “And when we put it back,” he said in reference to the restoration of the slashed budgetary allocations, “that is when they went to the no-confidence motion.” According to the President, “clearly we
Addressing the young supporters at the PYO event, the President proclaimed, “The future belongs to you; we will have to work together.” In concluding his remarks to the scores of PYO members gathered and pleasantly surprised with a pre-election ‘pep talk’, the President said: “On May 11, let us be clear…I am looking forward to your support individually and collectively, so that we can take our country forward.”

Parliament’s dissolution ‘possible’ this week – President Ramotar
THERE has been much commentary on the date for the dissolution of Parliament since President Donald Ramotar announced a date for elections. And in an invited comment on Friday, the Head of State told the Guyana Chronicle that the dissolution could be done this week. “I do not want to commit to a date as yet, but very soon. Possibly next week [this week],” he said. The dissolution of Parliament, according to the Constitution, must be made “within” three months of the date for the General and Regional Elections, set for May 11. Article 61 of the Constitution states: “An election of members of the National Assembly under Article 60 (2) shall be held on such day within three months after every dissolution of Parliament, as the President shall appoint by proclamation.” Until the dissolution of Parliament, it remains prorogued following President Donald Ramotar’s November 10 proclamation, in the face of a noconfidence motion that would have ended the life of the 10th Parliament and move the country to even earlier elections. The Head of State’s subsequent announcement of a date for elections came after the objectives of prorogation – dialogue in the face of political impasse – failed. The May 11 elections come more than a year earlier than due, the last General and Regional Elections having been held in November 2011. (Vanessa Narine)

state of socio-economic progress, with Guyana ranking high again among our Caribbean colleagues. Our successes today are numerous and too much to expound: from Guyanese being able to travel freely to the US, with visas easily available, to our housing success and our macroeconomic miracle. A metaphoric symbol of the irony that bedevils Guyana is the choice of the WPA to hate the PPP and love the PNC. The PNC has always treated the WPA as an irrelevant and irritating political force, a thorn in its side. Yet, the WPA, with its co-leader Dr Roopnarine in the forefront, dragged the Party into the APNU snuggle, only to wake up last week to find that the politics of convenience and opportunism took a twist and now the AFC would replace it as APNU’s main PNC ally. How could we ignore these insights and not talk of them? It’s only with hindsight that we would develop the fortitude to create our future, to exercise the foresight and wisdom to build on the wreckage of the past. Supporters of APNU say the Party is far removed from the bad days of the PNC, and is a new, reformed political entity under its leader, Brigadier David Granger. Brigadier Granger is a bright historian and a decorated military leader, but he also needs to answer for the role of the Guyana Defense Force (GDF) in the suppression
of the WPA under the PNC Government. Plus, APNU’s leadership is filled with military types. Strange it is that these folks sit around the same table as Dr Roopnarine, given the GDF and Guyana Police Force’s role in the PNC State oppression of the WPA. If the WPA has forgiven the PNC, why does it still give off a vibe of deep hatred for the PPP? The Ramotar Government convened the Rodney Commission as a truth and reconciliation act, fully allowing for the vindication and forgiveness of those involved in that brutal time of State crime against Guyanese citizens. But the WPA refused to work with or understand the PPP. The PPP, as the most senior political force in Guyana, operates with certain insecurities and fears, because of its history dealing with the PNC. It saw its Government removed in 1964 by unfair means, and it was kept out of major contribution to the Guyanese people for 28 years, with rigged elections denying it a role in Government. After winning free and fair elections, it has maintained itself in Government for 23 years, with free and fair elections, having to fight against treasonous types, anarchist rhetoric and the same forces that forced it from Government in 1964, like the powerful private media, and an Opposition that succeeded in hoodwinking the Diplomatic Corps in
the country. Those are the conditions that operate today, too. But we could see the truth in the writing on the wall of our nation’s history: in the story of the WPA, we see the story of the PNC and the PPP, whereby the PPP has cared for and contributed to the role of the WPA in creating a Guyanese society free and fair, while the PNC, and now as the muscled political animal APNU, suppressed the WPA. The WPA therefore serves as a brilliant symbol and a telling metaphor of the story of Guyana. And we must stand up for the WPA, never allowing it to be eradicated or made irrelevant or pushed into the dustbin of history. To its great credit, the Ramotar Government accomplished this with the Rodney Commission, while the PNC in APNU succeeded in reducing it to choir boy as it blessed the AFC with the same status it once did to the UF. A s w i t h t h e U F ’s 1964 hatred of the PPP’s ideological philosophy, the AFC’s quest for vengeance and revenge against the PPP may have blinded the “third force” into a political dance that could only reduce it to a token partner. In an objective analysis of the facts over the course of our history, we see that the promises of the AFC, PNC and UF led our nation into turmoil and tragedy. The PPP and the WPA stand out as delivering to the Guyanese people the crown jewel of a free people: free
and fair elections. And in the civic pact of the PPP and Civic society, we see the promises of the PPP fulfilled, not into utopia, but into a thriving, fast-developing Guyana. The WPA would learn well its own soul were it to consider its own roots as a coalition of, not political, but Civic forces into a political movement. APNU and AFC formed a lopsidedly political alliance. It must be very uncomfortable for the WPA to sit among them. In fact, the PPP fulfilled the promises of Dr Rodney and the WPA to the Guyanese people. We cannot allow the politics of revenge and vengeance to so warp our minds that we cannot see with crystal clarity what our history reveals: political alliances fail, while civic society partnering with a political party work, as with the PPP. The WPA would be well-advised to deeply consider what it promises the Guyanese people, now that the AFC failed to deliver its lofty promises.

Dynamic Airways flies Guyanese home for Mash - thanks loyal customers for continued support
SEVEN Guyanese living in New York are home for the Mashramani Festivities this weekend, all expenses paid, as Dynamic Airways continues to connect the Guyanese communities at home and in the Diaspora. Over the last few weeks, as part of a ‘Fly Home for Mash & Easter Promotion’, Dynamic Airways has been supporting shows and parties in the Guyanese communities in New York. At each of these sponsored events and on interactive radio programmes free tickets for travel on Dynamic Airways and free passes to Mash activities were won. The seven winners for Mash Weekend trips home are Meresa Richards, Shearon Blair, Rondell Millington, Latifah Fitzalbert, Troy Simmons, Malissa Garner and Marlon Johnson. Four of the winners were part of a radio show on Hits and Jams radio BoomFM 94#1 on Friday last, where they expressed gratitude to Dynamic Airways for flying them home for Mash and they sang praises for Dynamic’s excellent service on the flight. “It was a good flight, I am happy to be home in Guyana. I am excited to be here for Mashramani and I can’t wait to be part of the Dynamic Mash experience. Mashramani means celebration after hard work and this is my celebration after working hard for the past year,” said Malissa Garner, one of the lucky winners. Each winner will be part of Dynamic’s Boom Truck experience decked out in Dynamic Airways jerseys and vests along with passes to enter ‘Sunrise’, the pre-mash party being held tonight at Palm Court, Mash night concert featuring Alkaline being held at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground tomorrow and the after Mash fete at Gravity Lounge on February 23. Jonathan Beaton of Tagman Media, who is coordinating the Fly Home for Mash and Easter Promotion, said “Dynamic Airways is committed to connect Guyanese family and friends during important seasons. This is one of our ways of giving back to our customers. We have had several challenges but
these winners and the other passengers on the flights are loyal customers who have continued to support us over the past few months. We hope to create treasured memories for them.” For the two holiday periods Dynamic is offering fares as low as US$449 return, tax included. “This is a great opportunity for Guyanese who could not have otherwise travel home, to come visit their loved ones and be a part of the local festivities” Beaton said. “Dynamic Airways is pleased to give Guyanese an
opportunity to travel for the lowest airfare between Guyana and New York while experiencing the greater comfort. Dynamic operates wide-bodied Boeing 767 aircraft. Also, unlike other carriers, Dynamic allows passengers to check two bags free along with approved carry on pieces,” Beaton added. Dynamic Airways will be a part of tomorrow’s Mash Day parade on a Boom Truck participating in the activities in acknowledgment of this year’s theme for Mashramani celebrations ‘One People, One Culture, One Celebration’.

Popeyes opens US$1M Water Street location
SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 22, 2015
- investment is reflection of investors’ confidence in economy, growing transformation of country By Tajeram Mohabir
IN a bid to satisfy the growing demand for Popeyes chicken and seafoods, the Guyana Restaurant Inc, holder of the Popeyes franchise in Guyana, yesterday opened another outlet on Water Street in downtown Georgetown. This US$1M, state-of-the-art restaurant is equal to any internationally. The restaurant is the third of its kind in Guyana, the first being the Vlissengen Road outlet which opened in 2010, followed by the Camp Street facility in 2014, and now the Water Street edifice, in the heart of the commercial zone of the city. Guyana Restaurant Inc Chairman, Mr Ram Lallbahadur Singh, said the new facility will satisfy the increasing demands of lovers of Popeyes Chicken and Sea Foods’ products, particularly those in the busy Water Street area and within the iconic Stabroek Market location. This new outlet provides jobs for 36 persons. This is in addition to the 72 employees at the Vlissengen Road and Camp Street locations. Aside from providing employment for 108 persons, the chain of restaurants will be purchasing raw materials from local suppliers, with the exception of spices. Singh said the investment was also driven by the consistent growth of the economy in the past nine years, which he said is very encouraging for businesses. The new two-storey restaurant, which began operations yesterday, is a spacious, family-oriented facility that caters for persons of all ages. “Popeyes is noted for producing finger-licking chicken, and I can assure you that this is what you gonna get.
Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh and Guyana Restaurant Inc Chairman Mr Ram Lallbahadur Singh pose with staffers of the new Popeyes location on Water Street, Georgetown yesterday (Delano Williams photo) You can rest assured that you will receive a prompt, efficient and reliable service,” Singh said as he pointed out that the Water Street location, like the others in Georgetown, would have international standards and be first-rated in terms of choice, quality, service and price. Singh also disclosed that the business is looking to open outlets in other parts of the country, notably in Berbice, but must first acquire suitable locations. UNFOLDING TRANSFORMATION
The new Popeyes location on Water Street, Georgetown
Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh said the facility is not only a reflection of investors’ confidence in the economy, but represents a steady transformation of the country, sometimes unfolding before us unnoticeably. “This is the transformation that has been taking place unconsciously, but is a transformation that we should not take for granted. It is testimony to the changes that our country has been undergoing over the years. It is a reflection of the continuous abiding faith of Guyanese entrepreneurs; it is testimony of the continued growth and prosperity in our country. And indeed, given that this is a partnership with a major international franchise owner, it is also testimony of continued confidence by those international businesses in the Guyanese economy,” Dr Singh said. The Finance Minister said the occasion is significant in that the very location is where Somwaru Muneshwer, the patriarch of the Muneshwer family, opened his first business in Georgetown some six decades ago. In 1953, Muneshwer, a humble businessman, journeyed to the city from Berbice in an effort to expand his fortunes as a businessman. He was able to acquire the property at the Water Street location at a time when such deals were reserved for the propertied and monied colonial classes. Muneshwer’s boldness to expand and put to rest old colonial prejudices and stereotypes was both inspiring and worthy of emulation, the Minister told the gathering of mostly entrepreneurs as he paid tribute to the country’s distinguished businesspersons. “This is the story of his entrepreneurial drive. Today, we take (the story) for granted, but it is a story of sacrifice, a story of risk-taking, a story of hard work, and (it) must never be taken for granted…one that we must never forget. It is a story of inspiration which all should emulate,” Dr Singh said as he thanked the many investors, both foreign and local, for restoring confidence in the local economy, creating jobs, improving services, and allowing Guyana to remain on its current growth trajectory and path to prosperity.

Justice Ramlal’s application for income tax exemption in jeopardy - CJ has reportedly recused himself
By George Barclay JUSTICE William Ramlal, having filed a Constitutional Motion asking for exemption from paying income tax, is contending that his denial of the exemption from income tax, enjoyed by the Acting Chancellor and the Acting Chief Justice, is unconstitutional.
Chancellor (ag.) Mr. Carl Singh
Bedi Ramjewan, who was shot and killed during a robbery in 2011 motorcycle. Ramjewan had left a commercial bank in the city, moments before the incident occurred. Represented by Attorney-at-law Mr. Nigel Hughes, Skeete has pleaded not guilty to the offence of murder, which is alleged to have been committed at Crown Dam, Industry on April 27th, 2011. State Counsel Miss Natasha Backer, in association with lawyer Miss Narissa Leander, is conducting the case for the prosecution. Justice Bovell-Drakes will sum up the evidence to the jury on Wednesday, February 25, following which he will hand over the case to them for their consideration and verdict. (George Barclay)
Contacted yesterday, the Acting Chief Justice, Ian Chang, did not say whether or not he had recused himself from hearing the Motion, but suggested that the applicant would have to consult the Judicial Service Commission. The CJ said a special Commission might have to be appointed to look into the matter.
Chief Justice (ag.) Ian Chang
In his Motion, Justice Ramlal is seeking five declarations and an order for constitutional compensation and/ or damages and/or a refund of income tax, together with interest thereon, by reason of the contravention of Article 149D of the Constitution in relation to the applicant. In his Affidavit in support of the Motion, Justice Ramlal said that a meeting of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature and the Executive President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana had taken place on/ or about the latter half of 2003, when representations were made concerning the granting of exemption

from income tax on the incomes of Judges. The representations were not successful, save that the existing income tax law was amended by the legislature by Act No. 7 of 2004 to allow the Chancellor and the Chief Justice exemption from income tax in accordance with Section 13(a) of the Income Tax Act. Apart from the Chancellor and the Chief Justice, judges are not entitled to exemption from income tax. Justice Ramlal prayed that, in accordance with Article 153 of the Constitution and all other powers vested in the High Court in that behalf, “I will be granted the relief sought in the Notice of Motion herein on the grounds and for the reasons set out herein”.

Region Five residents educated on Climate Change, LCDS - as awareness campaign continues
AS government continues on its voyage to promote economic growth while combating climate change, residents of various communities in Region Five were, on February 18, educated on the country’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), as the Office of Climate Change (OCC) conducted an awareness session at the Regional Democratic Council building in Fort Wellington. Regional Chairman, Bindrabhan Bisnauth, chaired the session, which featured several key presentations from officials of the OCC and the Ministry of Agriculture. Head of the OCC, Gitanjali Chandarpal, in her presentation at the national stakeholder outreach and awareness meeting, explained to the large gathering that climate change is the change of weather patterns over a long period of time. She added that the climate has been changing rapidly due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Ms Chandarpal stated that over the last century temperatures increased by approximately 1 degree Celsius due to the significant increase in the level of carbon dioxide (Co2) in the atmosphere over the past 100 years. She added that this is resulting in the rising of the sea levels which is one of the consequences to Guyana. The country has been experiencing some unusual and extreme weather patterns such as intense rainfall, as well as dry periods. These weather patterns not only pose a threat to the agriculture sector, but also to hu-
man health and existence in general. She added that by the end of this century temperatures can rise by up to 4 degrees Celsius. She stated that 2014 was one of the hottest years in recorded history and there is need to address the impacts of climate change now. She also acknowledged that in this respect, there are two major factors in addressing climate change: mitigation which includes reductions in the levels of carbon dioxide, and adaptation, which is understanding the situation and adjusting to cope with it. In addressing climate change locally and attempting to manage the forests, Guyana has undertaken several initiatives. Most notably in 2009, the LCDS was launched. It seeks to enable a development pathway for Guyana, which balances economic development and sustainability. It was mentioned that Guyana has also been creating partnerships locally and internationally. She alluded to the fact that in 2009, Guyana and Norway signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement saw a commitment from Norway to provide Guyana with up to US$250M by 2015 for its work on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). She further noted that of this sum, the country has thus far successfully received US$150M. This money has been used as investments in priority projects under the LCDS, and is being used to fund several projects in mitigation and adaptation such as Micro and Small Enterprise
Ms Gitanjali Chandarpal Development, Climate Resilience Strategy and Action Plan, and the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project, among others. Another very important project under this agreement is the Cunha Canal rehabilitation project which is expected to improve the drainage capacity of the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) system. Also, projects such as the biodiversity research centre, the development of a climate resilience strategy and action plan and the LCDS outreach project is also funded under the Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund (GRIF). Further, finance from this grant is also used to fast track the Amerindian Land Titling project. She noted that the LCDS will also support ecotourism and aquaculture initiatives, among other areas. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, George Jervis, indicated that
the Ministry has carried out and is currently implementing several projects in the area of agriculture and climate change. He pointed out to the large gathering of residents, representatives of various governmental, NGOs and others that government has realised that the region is a high production area and it has been working to put measures in place to deal with the issue of climate change. Jervis noted that Region Five contributes 40% of the country’s rice production, 30-35% cattle rearing and 10-15% sugar production in the country. He further pointed out that the Ministry has budgeted $350M for works on the sluice at De Edward as it has recognised that that is one of the main sluices in the region. He alluded to the planting and perseveration of mangroves project by the Ministry to protect the communities from the sea. There has also been the promotion of technologies such as drip irrigation, sprinkler and micro-sprinkler systems, greenhouses, modern farming techniques such as hydroponics, and plastic mulch among others. Meanwhile, Ms Hymawattie Lagan, member of the Multi-Stakeholder Steering Committee (MSSC) of the LCDS and Head of the Women’s Affairs Bureau (WAB) urged the participants to help in the battle against climate change. A few weeks ago, the OCC conducted similar sessions to residents in Regions Seven and Eight. These sessions are intended to create awareness on the issue of climate change and the country’s approach towards it, specifically the LCDS. (GINA)
APNU-AFC sees Harper’s naming as PM candidate as too little, too late THE naming of career diplomat Elisabeth Harper as the PPP/C’s Prime Ministerial candidate for the May 11 election has been noted by the APNU-AFC. In a statement last night, the APNU-AFC acknowledged Mrs Harper’s contribution to the civil service and as a career diplomat. However, the Opposition parties said “this move by the Freedom House handlers is one which confirms that the PPP is deeply divided and in disarray”.
The APNU-AFC said it is also disappointed that Mrs Harper would allow her name and professional reputation to be used by the PPP regime in “a feeble attempt to mask the obscene levels of corruption with which it has become synonymous”. “Nevertheless, the PPP boats already ‘gone ah falls’. This appointment is the old PPP tactic of trying to cure a cancer with a bandaid and two paracetemols,” the Opposition alliance stated.
Burma Road 70 percent completed
PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar and Minister of Public Works, Mr. Robeson Benn were assured yesterday that the Burma to Esau road in Region Five (Mahaica/Berbice) will be completed in another two months. According to the Ministry of Public Works, the road, which is at the moment 70 percent completed, is costing them G$70.1M to upgrade. Works to critical sections of the main access road, the Ministry says, include the compacting of a 2,600-foot section with an asphaltic concrete finish. It also noted that other parts of the road that have potholes will be fixed. The project, which began on October 22, 2014, is

Slingerz FC and Western Tigers battle tonight for $1M IN the last Mayor’s Cup tournament, they fell 1 – 0 to Alpha United in the final, but, this time around, Slingerz FC will be hoping that the tide changes for the best as they face Western Tigers tonight at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground. With $1M up for grabs to the winner of tonight’s contest, a large crowd is expected at the famous venue where many hearts were broken. The star studded Slingerz FC made the final following their 5 – 4 penalty shootout win over Pele after the two sides levelled on a goal each after the end of regulation and extra time. Western Tigers on the other hand came from a goal down to win 2 – 1 over Fruta Conquerors in a game where the West Ruimveldt team showed why they are considered one of the top
Julian Wade teams in the capital. With Alpha United withdrawing from the tournament to focus on their Caribbean Football United (CFU) tournament which will give them a shot of once again qualifying for the CONCACAF Champions League, football pundits predict-
ed that the Mayor’s Cup tournament is Slingerz FC to lose. So far, so good for the Vergenoegen based club as their star players delivering as promise. Julian Wade, Slingerz FC recent acquisition from Dominica has scored two goals in three games and according to the striker, his aim is to win as many titles while in Guyana. Wade, on loan from Trinidad and Tobago Pro-League and Jamaal Shabazz owned side Caledonia AIA has shown that he can bully the local defenders and impressed the masses with his clinical finishing and also his ability to find his teammates. For another Slingerz FC player Devon Millington, tonight’s game will be a homecoming unlike any other since it’s against the team that gave him prominence in the sport locally. M i l l i n g t o n , Vu r l o n
Devon Millington Mills, Dexroy Adams along with Anthony ‘Awo’ Adams are expected to carry Slingerz FC’s attack with support Captain Collin Nelson in defence, Clive Nobrega and Tichard Joseph in the midfield and Dwain Jacobs on the flank. We s t e r n Ti g e r s s o far, is using a collective team effort to get them

looked to have set the hosts on the way to a routine win, but Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic was sent off in controversial circumstances after retaliating to an awful challenge from Burnley’s Ashley Barnes. The sucker punch was delivered when Ben Mee headed an equaliser for Burnley in the 81st minute to leave Chelsea, who also had two strong penalty claims rejected, eight points clear of City who were playing Newcastle United in Saturday’s late game. Manchester United’s top-four hopes were dented in a 2-1 defeat at Swansea City, who completed the double over Louis van Gaal’s side having claimed three points at Old Trafford in the first game of the season. There was an element of role reversal at the Liberty Stadium where United, who have frequently this season played poorly but still won, dominated the game but were undone when Bafetimbi Gomis deflected in Jonjo Shelvey’s long-range strike for Swansea. United, who took the lead through Ander Herrera before Ki Sung-Yueng levelled, slipped down to fourth in the table, 13 points off the top, after only their
second defeat in 20 games. They are a point adrift of Arsenal, who made it five league wins out of six when they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park. A Santi Cazorla penalty and an eighth league goal of the season for Olivier Giroud allowed Arsene Wenger’s side to survive a late scare when Glenn Murray reduced the deficit in stoppage time. UGLY CHALLENGE Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had a face like thunder as he stormed swiftly down the tunnel at fulltime, but kept his counsel rather than venting his spleen. “I am punished when I refer to these situations and I don’t want to be punished,” he told the BBC. When Ivanovic tucked the ball away after good work from Eden Hazard to put Chelsea ahead after 14 minutes there was little sense of impending gloom, but things swiftly started to go against the hosts. An Ivanovic shot struck Michael Kightly’s arm and Diego Costa was pushed over by Jason Shackell, but both penalty appeals were waved away by referee Martin Atkinson. The official became public enemy number one
at Stamford Bridge when Barnes flew into an ugly challenge on Matic, catching the Serbian enforcer on the shin. The Burnley player escaped without even a booking but Matic, who chased Barnes before throwing him to the floor, was dismissed with 20 minutes left. Any sense of injustice may have been mitigated had the home side clung on, but Mee rose to power in a header at the back post and Mourinho was left to seethe. “To describe I have to use words that I cannot. It is better we finish. I don’t want to look silly in front of you. I am surprised we didn’t lose,” he said. Tim Sherwood’s first match as Aston Villa manager ended in disappointment as his new charges squandered a first-half lead to lose 2-1 at home to Stoke City, who scored a stoppage-time penalty from Victor Moses to snatch the points. At the bottom of the table, Hull City moved four points clear of the relegation zone with a 2-1 win over fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers who had midfielder Joey Barton sent off in the first half. Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion drew 0-0.
through the tournament and it’s expected that tonight will be no different, but, the likes of Michael Pedro and Randolph Wagner have shown individual brilliance throughout the competition. Meanwhile the third place play-off game between Conquerors and Pele should be an encounter which will be keenly contested.

Windies fast men sweep aside Pakistan to set up victory
By John Mehaffey
(REUTERS) - Twice world champions West Indies temporarily revived memories of their glory days when their opening bowlers swept aside the Pakistan top order to set up a 150-run victory in the World Cup Pool B match in Christchurch yesterday. Jerome Taylor and captain Jason Holder took four wickets between them with only one run on the board after Pakistan had been set 311 to win at Hagley Oval. The previous lowest score in a one-day international for the loss of four wickets was the four runs scored by Canada against Zimbabwe in 2006. Both teams had lost their opening matches in the tournament with Pakistan falling to India in Adelaide and West Indies, the 1975 and 1979 champions, succumbing to Ireland in Nelson, New Zeland.

mishit a hook to Andre Russell at mid-wicket and his sixth which Younus Khan edged to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin. Haris Sohail became the third batsman to fall for a duck when he scooped the final ball of Taylor’s second over to substitute Jonathan Carter at point. Holder dismissed Ahmed Shehzad for one with the first ball of his second over, caught by Lendl Simmons in the gully. Dropped catches by Darren Sammy and Chris Gayle helped Pakistan mount some sort of recovery through Sohaib Maqsood (50) and Umar Akmal (59) before the remainder of the batting was swept aside. Pakistan were eventually dismissed for 160 off 39 overs. The 1992 world champions had restricted West Indies to 195 for four at the 40 over-mark after Gayle’s indifferent form continued when he was caught for four and Darren Bravo
England coach Peter Moores been so far either. “Peter simply has to start winning games, qualify for the quarter-finals and start competing because at the moment it is abject,” said Vaughan. “I did not expect England to win this World Cup. I thought they might surprise a few teams. So far they have only surprised me by being so poor. “Can they still reach the quarter-final? Yes they can. But do I see them going further than that? No.” Moores, who was reappointed as coach in April,

England coach Moores under increasing pressure - Vaughan LONDON, (Reuters) England’s “abject” World Cup shows have left Peter Moores searching for answers and the coach may lose his job if the team fail to reach the quarter-finals, said former Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan. England endured a humiliating eight-wicket defeat by New Zealand on Friday and were on the receiving end of a 111-run loss to Australia in their opening Pool A match. They next face Scotland tomorrow and need to win at least three of their four remaining games to have an opportunity of reaching the last eight but Vaughan does not fancy their chances. “Peter is not stupid. He will know the Scotland game and the next four matches are massive in his second tenure as coach,” Vaughan told the Daily Telegraph newspaper. “You don’t get long second time around.

hoped his side’s preparations for the tournament would stand them in good stead as they played 16 one-day internationals in the run-up to the World Cup. Eoin Morgan replaced Alastair Cook as one-day captain in December but despite early optimism that the new leader would be more in-tune with the demands of modern 50-over cricket, England’s results have been poor. Former skipper Nasser Hussain believes they must stop being so conservative in their approach. “The bottom line is England still play old-fashioned limited-overs cricket,” he told the Daily Mail newspaper. “Their default position in difficult times is still to go back to test players, like we have seen with Gary Ballance, rather than a more attacking option. “It is clear there is a huge gulf between what Australia and New Zealand are doing and what England are producing.”

I’ve never seen a coward captain like Misbah, says Akhtar (REUTERS) - Former paceman Shoaib Akhtar labelled captain Misbahul-Haq “a coward” and “a selfish player” after Pakistan were crushed by 150 runs by West Indies in the World Cup yesterday. “I have not seen a more coward and selfish captain than Misbah,” the 39-yearold Akhtar told the Geo News TV channel. “He is not willing to bat up the order to protect the other players at a time when he needs to show inspiration. “He is happy with his own runs and I don’t know what coach Waqar Younis wants. He has no game plan or direction for the team,” added the man known as the Rawalpindi Express, who won 46 test caps and played in 163 one-day internationals. Misbah, 40, has been a successful test captain since taking charge in 2010 and has also led the one-day squad since 2011. He batted at number five against West Indies in Christchurch on Saturday but made only seven as Pakistan were bowled out for 160 to slump to their

Former Test captain Ramiz Raja also believes it is time for senior batsman Younus Khan to step down after failing in the opening two World Cup matches. “ I b e g o f Yo u n u s . Thank you for your services to Pakistan cricket but please leave this ODI side now,” said Ramiz. “I think Younus should tell the management he should be rested. Our fielding has also been a joke but we need just one good
match to get back on the winning track.” Irate fans also vented their anger. In Multan angry supporters carried out a mock funeral of Pakistan cricket, offering prayers around a bed of cricket bats and smashing television sets with sticks on the roads. “This is a joke we arrange for special sittings to watch the match together and we stay up all night praying for their success and they perform like a third-rate team,” Pakistan fan Zamir Ahmed said. Another former captain Mohammad Yousuf called for wholesale changes after the World Cup. “The problems ailing our cricket will not go away unless we produce better batsmen and the management is reshuffled,” Yousuf said. Former Test spinner Saqlain Mushtaq was also scathing in his criticism. “We went to pieces against a West Indies side hit by internal issues so what can we expect from this team in the remaining games?,” Saqlain said.

Windies will come hard at Zimbabwe, warns skipper CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, (CMC) – Expect West Indies to enter their next clash against Zimbabwe with their tails up. Following on from yesterday’s comprehensive 150run victory over Pakistan, captain Jason Holder warned that his side planned to be aggressive on Tuesday in Canberra, as they chased their second straight win of the ICC Cricket World Cup. “Obviously we’ve gained some momentum and looking into Tuesday’s game against Zimbabwe we just want to be aggressive,” said Holder. “I don’t think Zimbabwe should be underestimated
but having said that, we’re playing some very good cricket right now so we just want to keep the momentum going through.” West Indies came under fire following their shock four-wicket defeat to minnows Ireland in their opening game at Saxton Oval last week. However, they hit back strongly yesterday, piling up 310 for six at Hagley Oval, with Denesh Ramdin top scoring with 51, Lendl Simmons getting 50 and Darren Bravo stroking 49, before retiring hurt.

talking over the last few days and it was actually good to see the guys came and applied themselves [and] bat the situations that we asked them to bat a little bit better,” Holder noted. “We got starts from Bravo, we got starts from Ramdin and then it was very good to see the way the guys finished the innings.” He added: “Jerome was excellent and I was very, very proud of him. The way he came back after obviously not bowling his best in the previous games leading up to this one, and to see the way he just came in and stuck to his task and started
for us was just phenomenal.” The win meant a lot to Holder as well. In only his second series as skipper, he had already suffered five defeats in his first six ODIs. Victory halted his losing slump as well as the team’s, and he praised his teammates for rallying around him. “Any victory feels very good. There’s no sweeter feeling than winning,” he said. “Being captain is just another stepping stone for me but to win this game for the team and the way the guys actually came through for me in the end, was just pleasing for me.”
Football Comment Guyanese have always been known to be amongst the best certified and qualified in the Caribbean and in some instances, in the world. Guyanese throughout the length and breadth of Guyana must be hurt and feel worthless, offended and disrespected at the BREAKING NEWS – Trinidadian, Richard Groden as the General Secretary to the national football authority, the GFF. After eye brows were raised and frustrations expressed, the chairman of the GFF Normalisation Committee, Mr. Clinton Urling, a gentleman who has gained much respect from many, indicated that FIFA and CONCACAF were consulted and as a result, the appointment was made. As is the practice, the filling of an officer as important and prestigious as the General Secretary of the GFF, must be adequately and widely advertised. Was this done? Were Guyanese given an opportunity to apply for this position? Can the Guyanese be informed of the job description and job specification of that of the General Secretary? How does one know why Guyanese were overlooked? It is important to state that while the appointment of Mr. Groden is temporary it does not change the situation. Are we sure that all is well with the reputation of Mr. Groden? Is he above board? Is there no Guyanese who can match the certification, qualification, experience and ability of Mr. Groden?
Why all the secrecy? Is it the function of FIFA/CONCACAF to dictate to and or instruct the Normalisation Committee? The state of our Football is at a crucial juncture, hence, special care and attention must be taken when dealing with such matters of great significance. The slightest wave can rock the boat over. Guyanese, being as honest, understanding as they are, will definitely accept the appointment if the playing field is level. If the playing field is not level, then Guyanese have the right to ask questions and overtly vent their feelings. Was the overall cost for such an appointment taken into consideration? Will the powers that be, now see it convenient and respectful to formally inform the nation of the true picture of this unproductive development? The Guyanese are certainly patiently waiting on such an explanation. Please! Do not take the Guyanese for granted. It is imperative that we should not make the mistakes of the past. Instead, let us focus on what can be done now to take football and its development to the next level. The life of the Normalisation Committee comes to an end in September, 2015. While we respect you as human beings, we expect you to do the best, within your power, to really and truly normalise the situation of football and bring it back to a level of respectability.

Cummins followed up by removing skipper Leon Johnson, lbw for three playing across the line to leave Jaguars 25 for two. Five overs later, the right-armer struck twice in the same over. First, he had the in-form Narsingh Deonarine caught by Carlos Brathwaite in the cordon for three fending off a rising delivery and two balls later, claimed the prized wicket of Test veteran Shiv Chanderpaul caught at backward square without scoring, hooking. Singh added 32 for the fifth wicket with Barbadian Raymon Reifer who made ten in three-quarters of an hour at the crease before giving Nurse a return catch. Barnwell and Singh then combined to defy the Pride
Vishaul Singh attack, in stand for the sixth wicket worth 52. Left-hander Singh faced 121 balls in just 2-3/4 hours at the crease and counted seven fours while Barnwell hammered four fours and two sixes in a 67ball knock. Nurse gained the breakthrough, bowling Singh to spark another collapse that saw four wickets tumble for 46 runs.
Ottley eyeing century as Red Force strengthen grip KINGSTON, Jamaica, (CMC) – Rookie Kjorn Ottley was closing in on his maiden first class hundred as Trinidad and Tobago Red Force dominated day two of their WICB PCL seventh round clash against Jamaica Franchise here yesterday. At the close at Sabina Park, Red Force were 184 for four – an overall lead of 294 – with the left-handed Ottley unbeaten on 87. The 25-year-old has so far carved out a high class innings, facing 126 balls in 130 minutes, and counting 13 fours and two sixes. Speedster Marlon Richards had earlier put Red Force in command when he grabbed four for 42 as Jamaica crumbled for a paltry 167 in response to the visitors’ first innings of 277. He was supported by pac-

King, on first class debut, top scored with a fine cameo innings of 71, hammering seven fours and six sixes, off 81 deliveries, while Odean Brown gave marvellous support with 44.

Kjorn Ottley then combined with Yannic Cariah
(23) to revive the innings with a third wicket stand of 80, as they extended Red Force’s lead in the post-tea session. Cariah had batted an hour when he fell lbw to leg-spinner Damion Jacobs and Jason Mohammed lasted 14 balls for his 11 before he too perished, to leave Red Force on 142 for four. However, Ottley paired with his younger brother Yannick Ottley (8 not out) in a 42-run, unbroken fifth wicket stand, to ensure Red Force ended the day strongly.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand - West Indies lefthander Darren Bravo will stay with the West Indies’ team despite sustaining a torn hamstring during the ICC Cricket World Cup Group B 150-run win over Pakistan at Hagley Oval yesterday. West Indies media manager Philip Spooner told reporters Bravo had been taken

R&R Int’l feature 35-lap event
HAMZAH Eastman stopped the clock at one hour 15 minutes 03.31 seconds to win the feature 35lap event of the 24th annual R&R International Limited sponsored Mashramani 11-race cycle programme at the National Park yesterday. Eastman along with six other riders made an early break and established a sizeable lead and in the process he won one of the eight prime prizes that were on offer but got stiff competition from second place finisher Orville Hinds of Team Evolution who won four primes. With six laps remaining in the 35-lap event, Eastman, Hinds, Alonzo Ambrose, Mark Harris, Mario King and Akeem Wilkinson opened a sizeable lead and had approximately 125 metres lead over the main cashing bunch which included last year’s winner Marlon `Fishy’ Williams (Team Evolution) and his team mate Michael Anthony. With three laps remaining, Hinds won the final prime prize, while the chasing pack headed by Hinds’ team mate Williams was a mere 100 metres away, but sensing that Hinds stands a good chance of winning the
Hamzah Eastman event, both Williams and Anthony refused to take the main chasing pack back to the leading bunch. H o w e v e r, t h e m o v e proved wrong as Hinds who was positioned fourth at the 300 metre mark failed to get past Eastman across the line. It was at the 125 metre mark that Hinds made his move, but Eastman who was ahead of the bunch held his own and won ahead of Hinds, Ambrose, Harris, King and Wilkinson respectively. In the end, Jamal John and Ambrose won one prime
each with Hinds winning four and Eastman one. In other results from the day’s card, Davenand Kapilnauth won the boys and girls 12—14 three-lap race ahead of Daniel Perreira and Rakem Blair respectively.
