Lindeners reject call for shut down

-massive turn out at PPP’s re-commissioning of Linden Freedom House office

-President reiterates government’s commitment to take Region 10 to new level By Leroy Smith

AMIDST much speculation and threats of a drama yesterday in Linden, President Donald Ramotar, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and other senior Peoples Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and government members rolled into the mining town to re-commission the party’s Freedom House Regional Office which was destroyed by arsonists in July 2012. PPP and government officials yesterday reaffirmed its commitment and support for the people and development of Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice). During the re-commissioning party leaders reminded of an era when the PPP’s existence in Region 10 was doubted and said the re-commissioning of the building was a direct result of what they say is a growing support base. President Donald Ramotar while addressing the gathering

of Region 10 residents, said the opening of the office is just the beginning of the government’s efforts to rebuild the mining town from the unrest which devastated residents and destroyed critical infrastructure in July, 2012. Hundreds of persons residing in the region had succeed-

‘This I pledge to you. For as long as I am President I will work for all the people of Guyana’ -President Ramotar ed in shutting down the town for almost a month in protest against moves to integrate the town’s electricity supply into the national grid. This resulted in the burning of schools, roads, private property and Freedom House. “There are no arsonists among us that burn schools and

hospitals” President Ramotar said, adding that “we build we don’t burn.” The Head of State told the gathering that the rebuilding of the town, including the OneMile Primary School may have been delayed but it will be done by his administration. According to him there is however a callous opposition which has no regard for government’s efforts in improving the quality of lives for all Guyanese. President Ramotar said while the opposition claims that the administration discriminates in its support for Linden because it has proven to be an opposition ‘strong hold’, it cannot be proven. “This I pledge to you. For as long as I am President I will work for all the people of Guyana” the President stated. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds recalled how difficult it was for the PPP to exist and have a presence in Region 10 during the 1990s.

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, President Donald Ramotar and PPP executive member Zulfikar Mustapha cutting the ribbon at the re-commissioning of the Linden Freedom House office There was much talk of a growing support base for the PPP in Region 10 at today’s event, though the party has never managed to win the region electorally. According to Hinds it is never good for one group to dominate an area while underscoring the importance of further democratisation and diversification of the region. He believes the fundamental

problem however is the absence of the will to adjust to change. He said the PPP/C administration did not inherit a perfect system when it took office in 1992 but maintained that the PPP has never withheld support for Linden. Following the unrest in 2012, the government had committed to allowing the electricity system to remain as it was while Technical, Social and

Economic committees examine the situation. According to the PM these committees are not barren, he said work has stalled because of failure to meet consensus on chairs for the committees which must be selected by the Opposition Leader and President. The Prime Minister maintains that the subsidised electricity which Lindeners have enjoyed for years must be normalised. He explained that the strain on the national budget to subsidise the region’s electricity is increasing. Supporters were also urged to remain resilient in face of the pressure. Meanwhile the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) congratulated its members and supporters of Linden for the holding of a successful relaunching of the party ‘s office in Linden, Region 10 yesterday. “Hundreds of persons

Guard found dead at burgled Corentyne store By Michael Khan.

FIFTY-five-year-old Chandrabhan Persaud of Whim Village, Corentyne, a security guard attached to RK’s Security Service, was discovered dead behind his work site, the Lucky Dollar Branch store at Rose Hall Town, Corenytne, Berbice, at 3 a.m. yesterday morning. The Guyana Chronicle understands that Persaud’s hands and feet had been bound, and his mouth gagged; while the building had been burglarised of several articles of undetermined value.

Yesterday’s discovery sent shockwaves throughout Region 6, and several persons crowded the crime scene, with many expressing profound shock at the dastardly act and sympathy for Persaud’s family. Gopaul Kissoon, the security supervisor in charge at the Lucky Dollar branch, related that during the wee hours of Saturday morning he received a call from his manager, who had been alerted to the crime by occupants of the top flat of the building. He said the occupants related to his manager that ‘irregular sounds’ had been heard emanating from the bottom flat of the building, and the alarm

Army ranks receive on the spot promotion for exemplary performance CHIEF of Staff Brigadier Mark Phillips on Friday awarded on-the-spot promotions and special incentives to eight ranks of the highly professional Three One Special Forces Squadron (31 SF Squadron) of the Guyana defence Force (GDF), and another from the Force’s G2 Branch. The ranks gained their promotions for exemplary performance and service with excellence. The eight 31 SF Squadron Ranks were members of the Search and Rescue team responsible for locating and recovering the remains of the Trans Guyana pilot and baggage handler who died when the company’s CESSNA aircraft crashed in the dense jungle at Olive Creek in the Mazaruni. Brigadier Mark Phillips in his commendation of the ranks said that, the Special Forces Team showed all Guyana that the GDF and its Special Forces were ready. “You have lived up to the Special Forces Motto which was crafted some 30odd years ago. But it was not the Special Forces alone who were ready; the Air Corps were, as always, ready and relevant in being of service to Guyana and her citizens. The GDF will

Also the efforts of the security forces in ensuring that the activities of the hardworking Lindeners were not disrupted today must be commended.” “The PPP today has once more reinforced the reality that it is the nation’s only national party and will not be deterred from its historical mandate of uniting the people of Guyana.”

was going off. Kissoon said that while he was trying to contact the security rank on the site, he received a second call from his manager, informing she had heard that “Persaud died.” At that point the police were contacted. “When I arrived at the scene, police had just arrived, and we rushed to the back of the building, where we found (Persaud) ChandrabhanPersaud tied up. His hands and feet were tied with a piece of canvas rope and some old cloth, while a piece of black cloth had been tied around his mouth,” Kissoon recounted. Persaud is suspected to have succumbed as a result of suffocation. BROKEN CONCRETE VENTS Asked how the burglars got into the store, Kissoon said: “The bandits moved a table from the rear of the building (situated at the western side). The table was used as an elevator for the men to climb up and break the concrete vents.” It was observed that the men had also used a stool for additional support. The men had ripped out a piece of mesh to access the concrete vents, which they smashed to gain entry into the building, landing on an indoor step which leads to the upper storey of the building. They also broke a door to enter the showroom of the store, from where they carted off an undisclosed amount of cash and a quantity of electrical appliances. This publication’s efforts to contact the manager of the burgled entity proved futile up to the time of going to press. The police have commenced active investigations into the matter.

Ukraine crisis: Yanukovych offers jobs to opposition

(BBC News) Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych has offered the position of prime minister to an opposition leader, Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The offer came after talks on Saturday with opposition leaders in a new effort to end the worsening unrest that has spread across the country. Earlier, protesters in Kiev tried to occupy the energy ministry. The protests began in November after Ukraine decided not to sign an accord on more co-operation with the EU. Instead, the government opted to deepen ties with neighbouring Russia. Offer of debates The crisis escalated this week when two activists were killed, and another was found dead with torture marks in a forest near the capital. A 45-year-old protester is

said to have died in a Kiev hospital on Saturday, after sustaining injuries in earlier violence. Mr Yatsenyuk, parliamentary leader of the country’s second biggest party, Fatherland, has not commented on the president’s offer. He is an ally of the jailed ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Mr Yanukovych has also offered the post of deputy prime minister for humanitarian issues to the former boxer, Vitali Klitschko, who is leader of the Udar (Punch) movement. Ukrainian media also report that Mr Yanukovych has said he is ready to amend the constitution to reduce the president’s powers. The opposition has previously demanded that Mr Yanukovych step down. In a statement published on the government’s website, Justice Minister Olena Lukash said that the president had offered public

debates with Vitali Klitschko “in order to ensure a wide public dialogue,” and that Mr Klitschko had agreed. ‘Extremist’ accusation Earlier, Ukraine’s interior minister said talks with protesters had failed. Vitaliy Zakharchenko - in charge of the police and one of the figures most despised by the protesters - blamed “radical groups” for the unrest, adding that protesters had arms. “We will consider those who remain on the Maidan [the square] and in captured buildings to be extremist groups,” he said “The events of recent days in the Ukrainian capital showed that our attempts to peacefully resolve the conflict without resorting to forceful opposition remain futile,” he added. Although the protest movement - the “EuroMaidan” - is largely peaceful, a hardcore of radicals have been fighting pitched battles with police away from the main protest on Independence Square.

Egyptians not to be afraid to go to events marking the anniversary of the uprising. Thousands of supporters of the military and the government gathered in high-profile locations including Tahrir Square - the focal point of the 18-day 2011 popular revolt. Participants waved Egyptian flags and banners showing army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, whom many urged to run for president. But police dealt harshly with anti-government protesters in Cairo, with 29 killed and 147 injured in street clashes, health ministry official Ahmed Kamal confirmed to the BBC. The majority died in Cairo, with two dead in the southern city of Minya and another - a woman - killed in Egypt’s second city of Alexandria. Meanwhile on Saturday, an army helicopter crashed in the restive Sinai peninsula, with an unconfirmed report that its crew of five soldiers was dead. A large car bomb exploded near a police building in Suez, at the southern entrance of the Suez canal, with reports that nine people were injured. At least 18 people died in violence on Friday.

Peru closes forced sterilisation probe and clears ex-President Alberto Fujimori

(BBC News) Peru has cleared the government of ex-President Alberto Fujimori of carrying out a campaign of forced sterilisations in the 1990s. Prosecutors say they found no evidence to support claims that hundreds of mostly poor and indigenous women and men were sterilised against their will. The Fujimori government has always maintained all operations were consensual. But human rights groups have reacted angrily, saying they will appeal. An independent congressional commission established in 2002 that the government of Alberto Fujimori had sterilised 346,219 women and 24,535 men during his terms in office between 1990 and 2000. It was part of a voluntary programme to reduce the country’s birth rate and, it was ar-

Ja scared to free weed: Gov’t says legalising marijuana not on the cards at this time

Legalising marijuana not on the cards at this time Gary Spaulding, Senior Gleaner Writer (Sunday Gleaner) Although the Jamaican Government is being encouraged by foreign advocates and agitators to forge ahead with changing its laws to decriminalise marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use, Foreign Affairs Minister A.J. Nicholson is suggesting that the country still has to proceed with caution in one area. Nicholson told The Gleaner that the attitude of larger Western nations on decriminalisation remains foggy at best, even as a Canadian professional signalled that the country would purchase marijuana from Jamaica, and United States (US) agitators urged Jamaica to add the weed to its famed tourism brand. “There is no consideration at this time about changing the treaties, but there are still some concerns about how some Western countries would view our move towards decriminalise, de-penalise or anything like that,” asserted Nicholson. He stressed that legalising the use of marijuana was definitely out of the question at this time.

WATCH OUT

Griffith: CCTV cameras monitoring citizens all over T&T By Curtis Rampersad Publications Editor (Sunday Express) This is what National Security Minister Gary Griffith hopes to achieve with a now-functioning network of CCTV cameras that has been in active use since last October to monitor roads, highways and the activity of Trinidadians across the country. The network of CCTV cameras is already so extensive that it monitors thousands of drivers around the country as well as travellers entering and leaving the country from Piarco International Airport. The CCTV communications platform was unveiled yesterday during a tour of the recently launched National Operations Centre (NOC) at its Knowsley Building headquarters in Port of Spain. It was previously located in Riverside Plaza, Port of Spain. The NOC has become the national focal point for public safety and joint security operations in the country. It combines the country’s law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, all operating under the same roof to

monitor activities around the country by camera, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. NOC operations involve the Police Service, Fire Service, Defence Force and the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM). It is currently using the national CCTV initiative controlled by the police, which feeds real-time video into the NOC. The NOC also monitors rapid-response police vehicles to ensure they are operating within the zones to which they are assigned. Security monitoring will also increase shortly with the inclusion of video from national security helicopters. Data from the Coast Guard’s coastal radar system is also being fed to the NOC, and a more direct link with video being channelled straight to the NOC is coming on stream to more effectively monitor the country’s coastline. It will shortly include Customs, Immigration, the prisons system and members of the country’s intelligence-gathering units.

EDITORIAL

GIMMICKS vs REALITIES

HIS EDITORIAL was written while we awaited the latest news report from Linden where activists of the opposition, under the influence of the PNC’s point man in Linden, Sharma Solomon, had organised anti-government protests that could further negatively impact on the livelihood of more than the people of that bauxite mining town. For now this newspaper remains focused on the political gymnastics by the PNC/AFC alliance to further delay parliamentary approval of the vital ‘Anti-Money and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill”, as well as their fun politics over participation in consultation talks on the coming new Budget for 2014, as repeatedly requested by the Minister of Finance, Dr Ashni Singh. Having failed to show up last week for the work of the National Assembly’s Select Committee to which the “anti-money” laundering legislation was referred for consideration, Opposition Leader and chairman of APNU (PNC in new clothing), David Granger, was quoted in another section of the media as giving the assurance for co-operation to ensure passage of the bill by February 14. We have no doubts that, like the government, the private sector and all other stakeholders in Guyana, as well as the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force, of course, would eagerly await the honouring of this new assurance by Mr Granger. In the meanwhile, it is to be hoped that he would succeed in getting former Finance Minister, Carl Greenidge, the PNC “comrade” he had narrowly beaten (by 15 votes) for the party’s leadership prior to the 2012 general elections, to participate in invited talks on the 2014 budget. To say the least, Guyanese across the political divide cannot forget their painful experiences of Mr Greenidge’s budgets and initiatives at fiscal management of the national economy. After all, the initiatives he spearheaded couldn’t deliver this nation from the years of administrative incompetence and fiscal bunglings, not to mention the myopic, spiteful politics that had Guyana struggling to overcome the burden of being relegated among the world’s poorest and highly indebted countries. Now, rather than participate in consultations with the Finance Minister on the budget, prior to readiness for presentation in parliament, an evidently bitter Mr Greenidge has been resorting to typical divisive political posturings. Has he bothered to show his party’s leader the official letter of invitation sent to him by the Finance Minister for consultation? If so, why the lingering negative attitude? Whatever may be Mr Greenidge’s working relationship with Mr Granger, he needs to demonstrate the level of political maturity required of him to at least acknowledge the Minister’s invitation for pre-budget talks rather than encourage his party to indulge in political sophistry or, as Guyanese like to say, sheer ‘bad-mouth’ politics. We wait to see if either or both the PNC and AFC would accept the government’s invitation for pre-budget consultation talks. President Donald Ramotar said on Friday that the door remained open for such consultation.

GEORGETOWN Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), the Nation’s provider of Health Services, has noted a front page article of the Guyana Chronicle (Jan, 25th inst) under the headline –‘Young mother and newborn baby die within hours of each other at GPHC – devastated relatives hoping PMEs provide answers’. GPHC hereby states categorically that these deaths did not occur at this Institution. Our staff members are severely upset over this embarrassing headline cum detailed story. We therefore seek a

retraction of this erroneous information.

Public Relations Officer Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation Editor’s note- We sincerely apologise to the management and staff of the GPHC for the error and wish to state that the reported deaths occurred at a private city hospital.

The Colwyn Harding affair

I NOTE with great amusement the speed with which the Guyana Bar Association was activated into action in condemning the Guyana Police Force in the Colwyn Harding affair.

The Bar Association must know or at least is presumed to know about concepts such as due process, presumption of innocence, the right to be heard and their absolute significance to the justice system, as well

as basic civilised notion of fairness. The Bar Association, however, obviously disregarded and ignores all these concepts in their haste to rally around Nigel Hughes, who appears to

be the main architect behind this whole saga. Indeed, from all indications, it appears there are going to be personally humiliated along with Hughes and AFC based on the information which is emanating from the police investigation and the medical probe. REAZ HOLLADAR

Lilliputians tie themselves actually believing they are imaginary giants WHEN the eyes become watery what can be its origins and significance? Unhappiness, tears of joy, an infected eye gland, someone cutting onions or fears of a crocodile also in tears poised to devour its victim? Measure the depth of empathetic sincerity, or rather underlying vengeance, for anyone to boldly advocate: “At this point of time (the beginning of 2014), I am now more than ever convinced that the crisis in the sugar industry has passed its tipping-point or point of no return. This means that all hopes for a rational, considered and ordered reform and reconstruction of the (sugar) industry are lost…. As presently configured the country’s sugar business can no longer go forward as a viable commercial endeavour”. Isn’t this a recipe for political armageddon in Guyana? Such advocacy in the SN of January 5, 2014 can be no more clearer for the WPA’s socialist Dr Clive Thomas’s future empowerment in APNU. Where is the wiggle room or attempt to close the gaps, even from the WPA which divides Guyanese unlike Dr Walter Rodney and Madiba’s legacies? If the sugar industry is not worthy of rescue according to a renowned textbook theoretician with absolutely no practical management or business experiences how much more is anyone qualified to decide or pronounce on it to “go forward as a viable commercial endeavour”? In fact, shouldn’t the undeniable reminder that Dr Thomas is factually naked without business experience or relevant acumen easily dismiss him totally without inclusivity to decide the fate of sugar? Even selling fried plantains at the street corner is enough proof positive of some business skills. Lack thereof does no dishonour for anyone to recuse himself especially when seeking to terminate an entire industry. But understanding why it prompted Guyana’s Afrocentric magnate Mr Eusi Kwayana to make Dr Thomas blessed, sanctifying his empowerment as relevant can only be instructionally revealing. “Did President Donald Ramotar sell sugar cakes for him to sit on Guysuco’s board of Directors” when it began its decline” was his shoot back; not bad by proxy but equally fair. No offence meant, none taken. Can King Solomon’s wisdom of deciding the true mother of a baby give more thrilling replication in muddy Guyana for those who want to keep hope alive? A skilled swordsman with his sword being sharpened gets swift support by one “mother”! However, neither Mr Ramotar’s association with the PPP’s trading arm Gimpex, his presence on the Guysuco board, nor any lacking skills thereof in unknown sugar cake sales, can be likewise exonerating for sure, especially after the electorate’s very decisive response in the 2011 elections. That “Change can only come from us” by Mr Craig Sylvester’s headlined letter in the SN letter of January 22, 2014 can only be a good slapping awakening after the 2011 elections. How much clearer can Mr Sylvester become when he himself says:” I imagine the difference between Dr Thomas and the rest of Guyana’s politicians is that while they all know that many things are wrong about how our country is run, only he knows the sure path (!) to economic prosperity.” That a future PNC/APNU

government will shut down the sugar industry is not imaginary, but a crystal clear certainty with Dr Thomas as their skillful swordsman in the pack. Mr Sylvester is both realistic and candidly concerned to acknowledge that “The supporters of the PPP will not forget the mess made of GuySuCo, and the economic chaos inflicted upon their families, dependent upon the existence of that corporation. One can hardly imagine the distress and suffering of the children of these families. GuySuCo could be wound up as a result of the PPP’s failure to grasp, among other things, the tide of change which would have resulted from the EU’s adjustments to its preferential arrangements, and this, if it happens would be among the most unremarkable events during its tenure in government. What will happen to these families still remains to be answered.” After the 2011 elections causing parliamentary gridlock compromises from all sides becomes necessary. Which party can fill the gap? It still does not make Dr Thomas’s academic evisceration of Guysuco more justifiably superior or conclusively acceptable. Even PNC founder leader Mr Forbes Burnham swiftly dismissed both Dr Thomas and Mr Kwayana. The latter’s desire to manage the bauxite industry after the PNC nationalised Demba was found laughable. Was the PNC Prime Minister originally wrong about Mr Kwayana to both expel him as PNC General Secretary, fire him as head of the Guyana Marketing Corporation and summarily avoid his control of an entire industry, which if it crumbled, would have drastically affected all Guyanese? Hoisting and saluting a shiny banner can only be designed to speed its ship to the port of government. Mr Sylvester’s endorses the PNC/WPA within APNU as the vanguard of private enterprise but it only adds to the confusion. Consider his claims that “The PNC promotes democratic values and is capitalist-oriented in economic policy, meaning that the private sector (business, not excessive government spending) is the engine of economic growth and prosperity”. AFC defector to APNU, Dr Tarron Khemraj must be very comfortable with his standby grooming to become the promised APNU’s Finance Minister dumping current Mr Carl Greenidge. So what is the complete truth? Is Mr Sylvester launching another trial weather balloon when he says: “I wish to acknowledge the, at times empathetic, distilled thoughts of Dr Clive Thomas, in particular, and also the contributions made by Mr David Granger, the Leader of the Opposition”? Who is to be taken seriously with so many engaged in Alice in Wonderland imagination? That APNU is capitalist oriented with Dr Thomas as their theoretician according to Mr Sylvester, impressed that “he knows the sure path to economic prosperity….” is no small irony. The changes which have resolved Guyana’s problems have always come from outside, as usual, when Lilliputians tie themselves actually believing they are imaginary giants. SULTAN MOHAMED

Success story surfaces at Banks DIH 58th Annual General Meeting --company’s 2013 pre-tax profit surpasses that of 2012 by $374M

By Ravin Singh BANKS DIH Limited has recorded a pre-tax profit of $5.340 billion for 2013, in the process recording a surplus of $374 million over the 2012 figure of $4.966 billion.

dressing the issue, he pinpointed the reason for not attaining the financial target in the second half of the year as due to contraction of the economy, which has had a devastating effect on companies. To combat this, though, he admonished shareholders to sharpen their focus and find

market. He mentioned that the new products launched over the past year include R1 white rum, ice cream and GT beer, quickly adding that a fellow associate of his has said that he has never seen a product hit the market and be in skyrocketing demand in such a short time. Reis said that as Banks DIH continues to achieve monumentally, its core principle that ‘charity begins at home’ continues to apply. Presently, the company is sponsoring six (6) national sports ambassadors for the country; has constructed four houses for its employees; and continues to

contribute significantly to religious, educational, and cultural movements across the Caribbean region. Hundreds of shareholders, special invitees and guests attended the 58th AGM of Banks DIH Ltd. They were each given opportunity to voice their concerns, ask questions, and make recommendations for betterment of the company. Each invited person was presented with a token of appreciation and a complimentary drink to end the evening in a “Brewery fresh” way. Banks DIH Limited originated from a rum business founded in the 1840s by Jose

Clifford Barrington Reis, C.C.H. Chairman/ Managing Director in his address to shareholders at the 58th AGM) This success story was detailed to shareholders yesterday at the beverage giant’s annual general meeting by company chairman and managing director, Mr Clifford Barrington Reis, who identified the many challenges the company had faced over the last year, due to what he described as a “sluggish global economic recovery and continuing tensions which continue to be manifested across the globe, especially in those areas which are prime petroleum producers”. Reis, nevertheless, added that implementation of the Brewery modernization programme will continue. Included in this programme to improve production capacity and availability are major capital works within the Brewhouse and Cellars’ operations, including Wort Kettle, CIP plants, Brewhouse Control Systems, BOTEC software upgrade and installation of the new Unitanks. In addition, installation of a palletiser, a de-palletiser, a pasteurizer with conveyor system and a labeler are currently in the process. Reis said the company’s after-tax profit for 2013 was $3.862 billion, compared to $3.700 for the year prior, which means that the company had recorded an increase of $162 million in profit over its 2012 operations. And while the year had seen the company facing many challenges, including not attaining its financial target set for the latter part of 2013, Reid noted that the journey was rewarding. Ad-

Gomes D’Aguiar. That business eventually expanded into a chain of liquor stores. The company experienced numerous challenges over the ensuing years of its existence, some of which placed the enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy. Peter Stanislaus D’Aguiar, the last of the four sons, took over at the helm of DIH from his father, and placed greater emphasis on the core business of manufacturing soft drinks and rum, although the company retained retail outlets, bars, and the hotel. The company’s financial position gradually improved; and

in 1942, the company obtained the first Pepsi-Cola franchise in South America; and during the 1950s, rum production also expanded. In 1955, Peter D’Aguiar promoted the publicly owned Banks Breweries Ltd. In 1966, D’Aguiar Bros. (D.I.H.) was floated as a public company, and it was merged with Banks Breweries in 1969 to form the present Banks DIH Ltd. The company today produces soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and food products; operates bars and restaurants; and, since 1998, has owned a controlling share in Citizens Bank Inc.

AMNESTY’S SWIPE AT OBAMA ON EVE OF CELAC SUMMIT IN CUBA - focus on deepening ties

Analysis by Rickey Singh PRESIDENT BARACK Obama may have to cease speaking with a forked tongue on the continuing misuse of the Guantanamo Naval Base as a detention centre for political prisoners from other countries and also wake up and smell the ‘political coffee’ over the spreading and deepening relations with Cuba by hemispheric governments and international organisations. As the government in Havana was completing arrangements to host this week’s second summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), Amnesty International issued a call last Wednesday for the Obama administration to “end its human rights hypocrisy” by the much unfulfilled promise to close the base as a detention centre for political prisoners without a court trial.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, CELAC has defined itself as “a counterpart of the OAS”. It held its first formal summit in 2013 in Santiago Chile, the outgoing chair, now to be succeeded by Cuba. A distinguishing feature of CELAC from the OAS is that both the USA and Canada have not been considered for membership at the time of conception of its formation. The CELAC Summit in Havana will mark the first-ever official visit by an OAS Secretary General to Cuba which, under US pressures following the Fidel Castro-led revolution of 1959, had been excluded from membership—a position that the Caribbean island state has since showed no interest in regaining. Cuba’s deputy Foreign Minister, Abelardo Moreno, in briefing the media on the CELAC summit said he was optimistic that it would “yield very positive results for Latin America and the Caribbean” consistent with shared objectives in the strengthening of cooperation for deepening integration. **Meanwhile Trinidad and Tobago was designated as “Guest Country of Honour” for this year’s “Cubadisco Music Festival” which takes place in Havana from May 17-25. The announcement was made last week by Cuba’s new ambassador to T&T, Guillermo Vazquez Moreno, when he paid a courtesy call on Foreign Affairs Minister, Winston Dookeran.

President open to negotiations on public servants’ salary increases PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar at his press conference on Friday said that he is open to negotiations with unions, to come up with mutually accepted decisions in terms of annual salary increases. The President was at the time responding to questions

from media operatives specifically as it relates to the five percent retroactive increase offered in December last year which sparked a protest from some public servants. He explained that the country has come a far way, and that his government is willing to

give its workers as much as the country can afford. “My desire is to give everybody a bigger salary as possible, but this is not something that only has to go with desire it also has to do with your ability and capacity and the resources at your disposal,” the Head of

State explained. He is hoping that negotiations for increases in wages and salaries can begin early. The five percent that was awarded in 2013 is above the current inflation rate. When the People’s Progressive Party/Civic) PPP/C

assumed Office in 1992, the public servant’s minimum wage was $3,137 and by 2005 the figure rose to $23,204. In 2012, a five percent increase was granted to public servants, in 2011, eight percent, in 2010, five percent and in 2009, six percent. (GINA)

Revisiting previously explored ideas (Part 2) By Keith Burrowes

I think the Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman, Gail Teixeira and others deserve both acknowledgment and applause for the work they have been doing, particularly with regard to putting mechanisms in place for familiarising new parliamentarians with their duties. In terms of cooperation, I think what is sorely needed is a working environment designed to engender trust among our legislators. We can, for example, establish a protocol for ministers to engage their shadow colleagues in the opposition, thereby placing less pressure on the parliamentary sub-committees, yes, but also creating the sort of inclusivity that was promised by all parties, without exception, during the elections. Now, to deal with the actual subject at hand: Some time ago, I took the decision to write publicly about a particularly nasty clandestine E-mail smear campaign aimed at tarnishing my reputation, albeit via a secretive, cowardly modus operandi. Recently, in addition to the already strenuous pressures of illness, and a packed working schedule, I’ve discovered that the insanity has started again. While I refuse to give the people behind this the satisfaction of going into detail as to the content of their ‘campaign’, I will say that, as suspected before, it appears to be coming from persons who somehow feel threatened by my public service portfolios. As I’ve written previously, I can say without fear of contradiction that I have never once presented myself to be considered for any public post I currently hold, whether remunerated or unremunerated; I was asked by the former President, with whom I’ve had a professional relationship going back almost two decades, to serve in several capacities, and I agreed. If there is merit-worthy criticism to be made of my performance in those roles, then anyone is free to make them; and while I reserve the right to correct any misperception, whether privately or in the public domain, I have never seen myself as above constructive criticism. I can safely say that I have carried out every public service responsibility placed upon me to the best of my ability, and often – I am admittedly a little ashamed to admit – at the expense of my personal life. And while I’ve lent my professional expertise to whatever of those responsibilities I’ve had to shoulder, I also took away key lessons from those experiences, many of which I’ve used this column to explore. Specifically because my portfolio has stretched across multiple sectors, I’ve discovered that there is need for a more holistic and integrated approach to several areas of managing the operations of government. For example, I’ve touched upon the need for there to be a central database, with a multi-tiered access protocol, containing digitized copies of all consultants’ reports produced here as far back as possible, but most critically over the past 10 years. But this would ensure that information is shared among the various agencies. (I would guess that over the past 10 years Guyana through loans and grant would have invested significant sums in these organisations). I recently saw this newspaper cartoon with one man with a stack of documents being asked by another where he was going with them. The first man replies that he has been ordered to take them to the basement to be shredded, so that no trace of them can ever be found. The second man replies, “Well, in that case, just take them to be filed.” We’ve spent, according to my fairly well-informed estimate, somewhere in the vicinity of US $15 million on foreign consultants’ reports over the last decade, many of which end up being ‘filed’ away until they become obsolete, and/or are duplicated by yet another report; a central database would ensure that we get proper value for money when it comes to these reports. I’ve written at least one three-part series on public-private partnerships, a method of providing services that I believe affords the best option, in many cases, for the people for whom those services are intended, or, at the very least, where applicable, ensuring that taxpayers receive the best value for money. (This is one of the areas that would be focused on in modernization of Go-Invest).

Keith Burrowes I can cite America’s NASA as an example of the evolution of a good private-public partnership. Decades ago, outer space was exclusively the territory of governments, particularly the competing ideological world powers at the time. Today, government input has been scaled back, and billionaire investors, such as Richard Branson, are working with the US government to create a competitive and increasingly commercially viable (granted for millionaires) aerospace industry. Another area I’ve been passionate about, and one related to the first, is engaging our Diaspora in our development, in as comprehensive a manner as possible, from structured programmes for involvement (whether repatriation or volunteering) to a Diaspora skills database. I’ve written, again largely because of my involvement in various public entities, about the need to establish a sophisticated multi-sectoral negotiation mechanism to engage with donors, allowing us to most strategically distribute donors across sectors. I’ve written about the need for a one-stop shop for government services for the elderly in our society. I’ve put forward this column in the same spirit that I’ve accepted the positions I’ve been offered without solicitation, because I believe that I have something to contribute to the development of my country. This would avoid our senior citizens having to go to several entities in order to conduct transactions e.g. Pension, NIS, etc. To those behind the periodic campaigns, who obviously feel that I am in competition with them for power or prestige, let me provide some solace: After discussion with my family, I’ve decided to scale back and eventually terminate completely my engagement in the public service in Guyana; this news might save you the effort of concocting and disseminating more slanderous Emails. The establishments of a mechanism that will provide information on persons who have outstanding payments for the government not benefitting from other government facilities until these amounts are liquidated. For Example if a person owes NIS it should be settled before you can obtain land concession. To the readers who’ve followed this column, I intend, in the upcoming weeks before I stop publishing it completely, to put forward a few more ideas into the public domain; for example, a mechanism to track the implementation of the government’s programme as set out in the ruling party’s manifesto. I also intend to revisit some of the topics I’ve explored in the past, and which I believe warrant a bit more consideration, particularly but not limited to those above, while I may very likely not be part of the team that implements these ideas, I believe offering them up is a critical step in the process. Until then, have a good week.

PSC heartened by Police Commissioner’s reception on Harding allegations

THE Private Sector Commission (PSC) in a release on Saturday said it met on Friday with the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leroy Brumell, and his senior officers to express the very serious concerns of the commission about the public allegations of grievous assault and an act of sodomy on Colwyn Harding by the Guyana Police Force. The PSC told the commissioner that, in the view of the commission, there has not been a satisfactory public response to these very serious allegations. The commission further expressed its concern at the growing number of what appears to be legitimate complaints against the conduct of the Police Force in their resorting to the use of excessive force and violent behaviour towards citizens in the course of their investigations and during arrests. The PSC pointed out to the commissioner that the credibility and public confidence in the Force is being dangerously eroded which, if not promptly, openly and fully addressed, would undermine the ability and competence of the Force to carry out its law enforcement responsibilities. The PSC said it was heartened by the reception it received by

the commissioner and his officers and with the open and frank discussions held with them. The Commissioner of Police told the commission that he had directed his officers to carry out an immediate investigation on his receiving the report with regard to the allegations of assault on Mr. Harding and to take the necessary and appropriate action. He said that, as a consequence, the Office of Professional Responsibility is completing its investigation prior to transferring its report and recommendations to the Director of Public Prosecution. However, given the seriousness of the alleged offences, and the widely reported coverage which has been given to them, the PSC said it believes that an independent inquiry should be ordered into the matter. The PSC also raised the issue of deplorable state of most of the lock-ups at police stations and deemed the subjection of citizens to such conditions to be acts of violence against them. The commissioner acknowledged the complaint, noted his own concerns and undertook to have the matter urgently addressed. He, however, made the point that, at a number of locations, including Brickdam, where new facilities had been installed, they had been vandalised by

Ukraine Turns Violent

“THE protest mood in Ukraine is at a higher temperature than ever before,” said Vitali Klitschko, the de facto leader of the anti-government protests that have filled central Kiev for the past two months, in an interview with the Guardian on Tuesday. “We only need a small spark for the situation to develop in a way that will be completely out of control for the authorities.” It’s make-or-break time, because on Wednesday a raft of new laws came into effect that make almost everything the protesters have been doing illegal. The laws, which were rushed through the Ukrainian parliament last week on a show of hands, ban helmets, hard hats and masks at rallies, and impose fines and prison sentences for setting up unauthorised tents, stages or sound systems in public places. They prescribe jail terms for anybody blockading public buildings, and make it a crime to “slander” public officials (whatever that means). You can also go to jail for handing out

pamphlets, and you can get 15 years for being part of a “mass riot” (however the government chooses to define that).

Protesters in Ukraine creating havoc If President Viktor Yanukovych’s government tries to enforce these laws on the tent city of protesters that has filled the “Maidan” (Independence Square) since late November, there will be something like civil war in the heart of the

messages saying: “Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass riot.” Yanukovych is getting desperate, because the protests are no longer just against his abrupt decision not to sign a treaty creating closer trade and political

ties between Ukraine and the European Union, and to turn to Russia instead for loans ($15 billion) and discounted gas. The protests have expanded to take in the dire state of the economy, Yanukovych’s ruthless political tactics, and the sudden wealth of the “Family” of officials and businessmen who support him. So long as the conflict was about the EU-or-Russia issue, Yanukovych could count on the backing of the Russian-speaking half of the Ukrainian population, in the south and the heavily industrialised east of the country: many people there fear for their jobs if the Ukrainian economy integrates with the EU. But the poverty and the corruption hurt everybody, whether they speak Ukrainian or Russian. Everybody can get together and protest about that. Another worry for Yanukovych is the attitude of the oligarchs, the billionaire businessmen like Rinat Ahmetov, Viktor Pinchuk and Igor Kolomoisky who control a large share of the Ukrainian economy. They have not been politically neutered like the oligarchs in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and it’s striking that the television stations they own have been covering the demonstrations quite objectively. The ultimate loyalty of the oligarchs is to their money, of course, but they seem to believe that in the long run their money is safer in EU countries, or at least in a Ukraine that con-

SUNDAY CHRONICLE January 26, 2014 forms to EU legal standards. So they are not ecstatic about Yaukovych’s decision to turn away from the EU, and they are quite capable of turning away from him. Indeed, that’s exactly what they did during the Orange Revolution of 2004, and they could do it again. So Yanukovych’s back is to the wall, and he has apparently decided that it’s worth gambling that he can clear the streets by force without triggering a confrontation that spreads far beyond the Maidan. And it will have to be done by force, because the protesters will not just fold their tents and creep off home. The sudden lurch into violence on the streets on Sunday and Monday nights occurred in this context. The several hundred young men who attacked the riot police with pipes, chains and fire-bombs were originally thought to be “provocateurs” hired by the government to give it a justification for using violence on the mass of peaceful protesters, but lots of them were not. The core group of fighters were members of a radical ultra-nationalist group called Right Sector that is both anti-Russian and anti-EU. It includes both Russian and Ukrainian speakers, and imagines it can use the current crisis to “destroy the skeleton state” and build a new state on the ruins. Things are indeed spinning out of control. When Vitali Klitschko arrived on the scene to beg them to remain non-violent, he was attacked with a fire extinguisher–and thousands of ordinary protesters showed up to cheer

the young thugs as they attacked the police. There is a serious potential for mass violence here, and that could lead to even worse things. Viktor Yanukovych, for all his faults, is the legitimately elected President of Ukraine, and he has a majority in parliament. What if, facing overthrow in the streets, he called for “fraternal aid” from Russia to defend democracy in Ukraine? What if the Russians, who are already claiming that it’s a Western plot – “We have information that much of this is being stimulated from abroad,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday – agree to send him police and military help? It sounds far-fetched and it would be extremely stupid, but everybody is busily painting themselves into corners and there is a small but real possibility that it could happen. In which case, welcome to the Second Cold War. (Gwynne Dyer is a London-based independent journalist and military historian.)

By Michel Outridge G U YA N A WAT E R I N C . (GWI) on Thursday said that they would be embarking on a countrywide campaign to remove the water service of customers who are in arrears. Customer Services Manager Jeanette Thomas told this publication that GWI is focusing on collections of water services and urged customers to make such payments or face disconnection, which she noted is the last resort. Thomas suggested that those in arrears should visit GWI offices across the country to enter a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wallet-friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; payment plan which lasts for three months if the customer cannot afford to make the entire payment in the allotted time. He/ she can speak to a supervisor or a manager to have a waiver. She explained that one of the shortcomings is that bills are not getting to customers on time as a result of some hiccups with the postal service but they are making strides to have bills delivered otherwise to their customers. Thomas stated that they are in receipt of many complaints by customers, who claimed that their services were disconnected because they did not receive bills; as such, they could not make any payment. She, however, pointed out that customers whose services

Customer Services Manager, Jeanette Thomas and Billing, Revenue and Control Manager, Julie Ragnauth. have been repeatedly disconnected will have their service removed by GWI once they are in arrears, and urged such persons to make contact with the water company at the earliest on 227-8701 from 08:00hrs to 16:30 hrs on week days, or leave a message on weekends and a call will be returned. Thomas told this newspaper that water subletting is illegal and those culpable will be dealt with. She encouraged customers to desist from such practices. She noted that once the service line is removed by GWI, the customer must re-apply for service and will have to pay in excess of $30,000 to so do. She asked customers to make

payments to avoid the removal of their service. Thomas disclosed that more than 50% of customers are in arrears, and although they do not want to remove water service from them, they need to pay, since billing for 2013 is due and the payment options have been expanded to commercial banks, Bill Express, GPOC, GT&T Mobile Money, online banking etc. to facilitate payment by customers. GWI has also upped their efforts to reach out to customers by promoting a weekly outreach programme where revenue managers and customer service staffers have been visiting schools, NDC offices,

Corentyne, among other areas. The water company is also updating their data. An exercise is under way to verify such, in which customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

accounts will be updated, and they are asking for the cooperation of consumers, said Billing, Revenue and Control Manager Julie Ragnauth.

World Leprosy Day…

Guyana moving towards eliminating leprosy at the sub-national level By Telesha Ramnarine GUYANA has eliminated leprosy at a national level and the fight is now on to have the disease eliminated at a sub-national level. The Leprosy Clinic based in Georgetown sees fewer than one hundred cases each year but its Director, Mrs. Heather Morris-Wilson, believes that should authorities become complacent the disease will continue to spread. Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease (HD), is a chronic infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. It takes its name from the Latin word Lepra, which means “scaly”, while the term “Hansen’s Disease” is named after the physician Gerhard Armauer Hansen. “It is a disease of poverty,” explains Dr Wilson. Hence, persons exposed to poor housing, bed bugs, overcrowding, poor sanitation and water are more susceptible to the disease. “It tends to spread in these conditions. So you find a lot of persons in the slums would get it.” “Right now for the country it is not a problem. But we cannot be complacent. We have to keep working and reaching those areas that are without clinics. Certain areas have families that keep transmitting the disease,” Dr Wilson reported. Importantly, she noted that Guyana sees ‘imported’ cases from time to time because neighbouring Brazil has the largest amount of cases per year. Dr Wilson, Director of the Ministry of Health’s Leprosy Programme, spoke with the Guyana Chronicle at her office located inside of the Palms Geriatric Home Compound, Brickdam. According to her, one of the first clinical signs that indicate leprosy is a noticeable rash on the skin where there is loss of feeling or sensation. The rash can develop on any part of the body depending on the type of leprosy. In addition to skin rashes, there can also be a tingling sensation in the hands and or feet, and a burning sensation of the skin because the disease affects the nerves. Furthermore, there is loss of feeling, no sweating and hair growth in the affected area. “We call it a numb spot disease,” Dr Wilson said. A cotton wool test for sensation would then be in order. It is referred to as the ‘pinch and touch’ test. On most occasions, when it is indeed leprosy that the person has, he will not be able to differentiate a pinch from a touch. Some persons who suffer with the disease also have to endure weakness, paralysis in the hands and feet, and affected muscles of the eyes. “Leprosy treated late can cause severe eye complications and lead to blindness because of weakness of the eyelids and the mus-

cles of the eye. So we would need to do a skin smear test where we just use a lymph fluid. We don’t need blood,” Dr Wilson explained. TODAY IS WORLD LEPROSY DAY Special activities are planned for the observance of World Leprosy Day today in an effort to increase awareness that leprosy is present and is a “neglected” disease. “Leprosy Day is to remember these persons and make them feel wanted. There still is a lot of stigma and discrimination against them,” Dr Wilson observed. She informed that on January 30, a fun day is planned for leprosy patients and they will be treated to gifts, food, games, Dr Heather Morris-Wilson.

diagnose leprosy. She works at this location on Wednesdays only as she also tends to other clinics across the country. She is in Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice) on every first Tuesday of the month; in Region 3 (Essequibo Islands/West Demerara) on every second Friday of the month (Best, Parika and Meten-Meer-Zorg Health Centre); in Regions 5 (Mahaica/Berbice) and 6 (East Berbice/Corentyne) on every third Monday and Tuesday. On the first Friday of the month she is at Lodge Health Centre while on every second Tuesday she is at Soesdyke. She goes to the health centre at Clonbrook on every fourth Tuesday and at Grove Health Centre on every third Friday. On every fourth Friday, she is at David Rose. Dr Wilson stressed that leprosy is curable and she encouraged anyone who suspects they are suffering from the disease to visit the centre on Brickdam. Here is where the drugs are stored and they are available free of charge. “We have nurses who can also educate them and make them more aware of the disease. We don’t just provide treatment but we have to follow up with them for no less than three years. We have to work at empowering them and reintegrating them into their families and the community,” she informed. LEPROSY – IS IT A CURSE FROM GOD?

etc. The day before (Jan 29), a team will be working in a health booth that will be set up in front of Scotia Bank on Carmichael Street. Meanwhile, Dr Wilson explained that the Leprosy Clinic would also entertain persons suffering with various skin infections. Observing these would be the only way of knowing whether or not to

Dr Wilson has had patients who confessed to her that they opted to consult a witch doctor for help because they believe leprosy is a curse from God. “Most of our patients sometimes go to witch doctors that give them remedies. I have actually have patients who confessed to me, and learned people too, not the layman. Learned persons have been fooled into thinking that,” she said. However, “everyone” is susceptible to leprosy. “You develop leprosy depending on your body’s immunity. So you have to try to build your immune system; exercise, eat your proper meals. Just be healthy. There is no way to really prevent it. You can obtain it in indirect ways,” said Dr Wilson. Transmission can occur by someone who has a lot of leprosy in their body and If treatment is not started, this individual can cause the bacteria to spread. “If it is discovered late, it can cause deformity because of the nerve damage.” It has been found that leprosy patients are often shunned, even by family members, because the disease comes with visible deformities. And hence, such individuals feel discriminated against. How vital to make these ones feel wanted and loved, Dr Wilson said.

President Ramotar to attend CELAC Summit in Cuba

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar will be leaving for Cuba to attend the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) Heads of Government Summit to be held at PABEXPO building exhibition site of Havana´s Convention Centre on the 28 and 29 of this month. Speaking at a press conference on Friday the Head of State said that one of the main issues that will be addressed at that forum is poverty and inequality in the Region. He said that Guyana has a lot to offer at this conference; making reference to the recognition that the country received from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in 2012. Last year, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds received on Guyana’s behalf, an award at a ceremony in Rome, for being one of the 17 countries in the world to attain the targets set by both the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Number One, and the goal set by the 1996 World Food Summit for halving the absolute number of hungry people by 2015. “Although Latin America

and the Caribbean have made tremendous progress over the last decade or so in fighting poverty and inequality, there is still a lot more to be done. So these are some of the main topics that will engage our attention when we go to Cuba,” the President said. He added that Guyana has a great input to make at this Summit in terms of sharing information and

experiences, since the social programmes that Guyana has been following over the past two decades have been tried, tested and proven to significantly reduce social poverty. According to the Cuba Standards, the CELAC summit is the biggest political event to be hosted by Havana in decades. Heads of State and foreign ministers of most member nations are expected to attend.

Shortly afterwards, the unconscious motorcyclist was allegedly run over by a minibus, and his body was left lying on the roadway for in excess of half an hour, because efforts to contact an ambulance failed, and nobody wanted to transport him to a hospital. The female pillion rider who had been with the motorcyclist at the time of the accident has also been hospitalised. The driver of the motor car is being questioned by the police, but it is uncertain whether he had been arrested following the accident.

Young cop shot by aggressive visitor to Meadow Brook home By Michel Outridge

POLICE report that at about 22:30 hrs on Friday, January 24, 2014, Special Constable 14127 Quincy Wright, called Dexter, of the Mounted Branch and of Zeskendren, Mahaicony, East Coast of Demerara, was involved in a heated argument with a man at the home of a female at Guyhoc Park, Georgetown, when he was shot to the left side of his chest. He was later pronounced dead on arrival at the GPHC. His assailant, who escaped, is also a suspect in a matter that occurred on January 23, 2014, at North Sophia, wherein a firearm was taken away from a security guard attached to a private security service. Investigations are in progress. “Gary” (only name given) of Lot 84 Guyhoc Park, Georgetown, said he was watching television in the upper flat of the building, at about 22:30 hrs, when he heard a loud explosion and he ran downstairs to see what was happening. He said he saw the mortally wounded cop lying in the yard, barely breathing because he was panting for breath. The grievously injured lawman had been shot; and after some time, Gary and others managed to get a taxi by which they rushed the lawman to the GPHC, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Gary said he had seen the young lawman visiting his sister-inlaw when he went into the yard for a bath earlier that night. Gary told this publication that he feels very disturbed about the turn of events, and he regretted what had happened to the young cop; but he had not been aware there was anything going on in the yard until the incident. An eyewitness to the shooting, Ashanti Sankar, who was grazed by the bullet that killed Wright, said she barely managed to escape with her life; and she was in a state of shock yesterday when this newspaper visited the scene. She said that it all started when a young man (the gunman) came to the home to visit a female occupant (named) and he started to say things to the policeman, who was already in a conversation with another young female occupant of the house. Sankar explained that among the things the shooter said was: “Is problem you want with me?” after he was asked why he was peeping in Wright’s face. And despite attempts to pacify him, the gunman appeared to be very agitated by the question he had been asked. After some more exchange of words, he whipped out a gun from his waist and shot Wright. At that time, Sankar said, she was standing between the two men trying to make peace, and she barely shifted herself out of the way when she saw the gun, or she would also have been shot on

Sankar noted that the gunman was looking for her as he stood over the cop whom he had shot, but he did not see her in the darkness; so he left the scene of the shooting and she placed a call to her children’s father, who is a policeman. She said that after Wright had been taken to hospital, police came and took statements from her and another female. Up to press time, the gunman had not been apprehended by the police.

Roberto Thomas-miraculous old survivor of Lusignan m

IAC holding commemoration of sixth anniversary of Lusignan Massacre THE Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) will today hold an Evening of Remembrance at Track ‘A’ Lusignan Pasture, East Coast Demerara to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the Lusignan Massacre of January 26th 2008. Activities begin at 17:00 hrs, and the Hon. Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and other Government officials will be in attendance. Residents of Lusignan are invited to the forum. Six years ago today, 11 persons were horrendously gunned down and three others were grievously wounded when marauding gunmen with high-powered assault rifles invaded the homes of five families at Track ‘A’ Lusignan, in the predawn hours of January 26, creating mayhem and unleashing unprovoked terror.

-six years after By Shirley Thomas

SIX years ago today doctors at the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) were battling to save the life of a five-year-old survivor of the horrendous Lusignan massacre, as the nation watched and prayed. Five-year old, Roberto Thomas, shot in the abdomen with high-powered assault rifles, by marauding gunmen who invaded five homes at Lusignan, East Coast of Demerara, in the pre-dawn hours

of January 26, 2008 kicked down doors and waged a wanton execution of family members, remained on life support and on the critical list. Roberto, who his mother hid under a bed, while she hid behind a curtain, clutched desperately to two suitcases during the ordeal, but still somehow the bullets, indiscriminately fired, managed to hit and seriously wound the hapless five-year old. The Thomas family was the first to come under attack by the gunmen. Three family members of that family were slain in the mayhem: Patriarch: Howard Clarence

Thomas, 49; his 12-yearold daughter, Vanessa and eleven-year old son, Ron. Clarence’s wife, Gowmattie Thomas, their 19-year-old son, Howard, and five-yearold Roberto survived the tragedy. However, Howard was seriously wounded in the upper left arm, by a high powered assault weapon, while the youngest, Roberto, shot in the abdomen, was immediately placed on life support on his admission to the GPH. It was an uphill task for doctors at the institution, who waged an unrelenting battle to save the life of the child and he remained hospitalised for three months, as did his brother Howard who was at one time in danger of losing his arm, but with doctors’ best efforts and divine intervention, both siblings recovered from their injuries. Today, even as bereaved relatives and others across the spectrum huddle together in sober reflection, Gomattie Thomas, the matriarch of the Thomas’ home, agreed, she has much to be thankful to God for sparing her life; the lives of her 5-year old shot in the abdomen who has miraculously recovered and her 19-year-old son Howard who did not lose his arm, as was feared by doctors. And whereas, six years ago Gowmattie lost an elevenyear-old son Ron in the mayhem, today she has by her side, Roberto who has turned eleven and is keeping her company, as together they seek to put the past behind them, pick up the pieces and move on with life. Also alive and well are Mark, now 26, who at the time of

the massacre was at Bartica and Howard. They have both matured and now lead their separate lives. But incredibly, Roberto, now eleven, who attends the Valmiki Vidyalaya Primary School at Lusignan has since, recovered so favourably, he is participating in athletics sports and emerged champion runner for the school, for the years 2012 and 2013. Roberto, who is preparing to write the National Grade Six Assessment Examinations in March, says he would like to one day, become an engineer and is working towards that end. His now deceased sister, Vanessa was an aspiring air hostess, while Ron was training on the Lusignan golf course to become a golf caddie. Asked if he has any recollections of the ill-fated day, Roberto replied: “The only thing I recall is that I heard the shots, then I feel somebody hold me and slam me against a wall, saying: ‘You in the way’!”

Reflecting on the good times he’s spent with his father and brother, he recalled when they’d do carving, making wooden aeroplanes, ships, coconut (pointer) brooms and the like. At that point, he suddenly broke down and sobbed: “But I didn’t get to see my father. I want my brother, I want my brother.” Based on conversations with Gowmattie (Roberto’s mother), there are indications that, deep within, the child is still hurting; he perceives that his father and siblings have been suddenly and rudely snatched away from him and that to date there is no explanation. For him, there has been no closure to a harrowing and horrendous episode, and these are haunting memories as far as he is concerned. Clearly, what is desperately needed is what was promised – counselling for the families of the diseased. Meanwhile, Roberto now has a new found brother – his best friend at school, Madhave

iwarie and they share good times ogether. He also finds solace in he company of the children in his mother’s Sunday School class she olds at home. For the last several years, and ven before the untimely disaster, Gowmattie, who is a member of he Lusignan Assembly of God hurch has been holding Sunday chool classes in her home and ontinues to win souls for the ord. She is also on the Women’s rayer Team and the Good News ible Club. Asked how she has been cop-

ing with the loss, Gowmattie modestly replied: “I remember, but try to put it away, but can’t erase the memory altogether.” She recalled the days when, torn with grief she could not even eat, and so became dehydrated and had to be rushed to hospital. Still affirming her faith in God and reiterating her thanks and gratitude for keeping her and her sons through the years, she affirmed: “It’s only God is keeping me. I talk to Him as a person, saying ‘God, I look to you for guidance, for all of my needs and you can’t let me down.’ I stand strong in Him and He has never let me down.” As an income generating project, she’s into the business of poultry rearing and also has a part-time job. On the morning of the Lusignan massacre, five homes were taken by storm, as marauding gunmen, while residents were yet asleep, kicked down doors and opened fire on the hapless residents, many of whom were children. Some were shot in their beds, one man was at his altar praying, while others still, took refuge under beds, but were dragged out and shot in cold blood. Those slain in the massacre were: Clarence Thomas, 49, a diver; his 12-year-old daughter, Vanessa Thomas and 11-yearold son, Ron Thomas, while two others from that household were wounded: Another son, Howard and the youngest sibling, Roberto 5, both with serious life-threatening injuries. They both remained in the Georgetown Public Hospital for three months. Roberto spent most of his time in the intensive Care Unit while How-

ard was warded at the High Dependency Unit. Next door to the Thomas’ family, killed were: Mohandai Gourdai, 32 and her two sons – Seegopaul Harilall 10, and Seegobind Harilall 4. The lone survivor was 11-year-old Arjune Bhim who was spending the night with his aunt. From the Mohammed’s home across the street, 22-year-old Shazam Mohamed was gunned down as he sought shelter in his kitchen. Nazir, the patriarch of the family was shot in both legs and remained warded at the GPHC for several weeks. Neighbours, Seecharraan Rooplal, 56; his wife Dhanrajie Ramsingh 52 and daughter Raywattie Ramsingh 11, were all shot dead. Meanwhile, another neighbour, Shaleem Baksh, 55, was shot in the head and killed. After several days of mourning, the dead were buried following mass funerals at the Lusignan car tarmac, attended by thousands. In the ensuing years, there have been calls for healing. At a commemorative ceremony staged by the Indian Arrival Committee on the last Saturday of January 2010, Minister of Housing, Irfaan Ali told the gathering: “All Guyana is standing hand in hand in strengthening a circle of solidarity with those who lost loved ones to such tragic circumstances, including members of Guyana’s security forces, who have, themselves, been under siege by the terrorists in the land.” “He stressed that the process of healing is important, but healing, adding that “We are One People; One Nation, with One Destiny. This is what reinforces the strength and spirit of the Guyanese people,” he said, but noted that as Guyanese, we sometimes take the essence of our motto very lightly.

Young mother and newborn baby die within hours of each other at GPHC

***A PERSEVERANCE, Essequibo Coast family is mourning the death of their 24-year-old daughter, Jaiwanti Chanderpaul and her newborn, a mere 12 hours apart. The baby was born on Wednesday morning and died on Wednesday night, while the mother died at approximately midday on Thursday, without ever knowing that her child had died, according to Jaiwanti’s bereaved relatives. Delivery was allegedly induced on the woman, who was 26 weeks pregnant, in order to save both her life and the life of her baby, since she was having gynaecological complications; and she allegedly gave birth by caesarian section. The surgery was successful, relatives recall,

with Telesha Ramnarine

Relatives are hoping that post-mortem examinations would reveal the cause(s) of their deaths.

ONCE AGAIN, the stage is set for another ‘East meets West’ encounter, when the curtains come down in the action of this year’s Mayor’s 79 th birthday seven aside football tournament on the West side from 17:00hrs this afternoon. Den Amstel will be representing the West Side in the final where they face-off with City line-up North East La Penitence who will be coming from the East to create an upset over their West Demerara counterparts on their home ground, with the winner taking home $100,000 and a trophy, while the losers will pocket $50,000.

Police Sports Club ...

From back page he observed her running at a developmental meet earlier last year. Wishing his athlete well, coach of the Police Athletics Club, Lyndon Wilson says he sees Moore achieving quite a lot through this opportunity. Wilson has been Moore’s coach for the past three years since she began her training in athletics. “She’s an athlete that always wants to achieve to the highest and she’s very disciplined, so I know she will be a great achiever.” Wilson said, as he coached Moore through her final training session in Guyana. The young 19 year old who is yet to make her debut at an international event says that qualifying for the 2016 Olympics will be at the top of training priorities as she begins her training when she arrives in the US.(Tamica Garnett).

Li takes the extra step to win Australian Open

By Nick Mulvenney

MELBOURNE-(Reuters) China’s Li Na banished the ghosts of two Australian Open final defeats by overpowering Dominika Cibulkova yesterday to win her second major title and give the grand slam of the Asia-Pacific its first Asian singles champion. The 31-year-old needed a tiebreak to clinch an error-strewn first set but romped away with the second for a 7-6(3) 6-0 victory to become the oldest woman to lift the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup. Li was the first Asian player to win a grand slam singles title at the French Open in 2011 and ended her 31-month membership of the “one-slam wonder” club when her Slovakian opponent sent a forehand long after 97 minutes. Losing the final to Kim Clijsters in 2011 and Victoria Azarenka last year, both times after winning the first set, had only added to Li’s reputation as a formidable player with a major flaw in her temperament. “At last I made it. Not like the last two times, always feeling one more step. But this

time I did it, so I’m really so proud of myself,” the fourth seed rejoiced. “In the French I was feeling I would just go for it. I didn’t think about winning or losing. But this one, I was really wishing I could do well. And also maybe you guys didn’t know how hard I was working mentally to make this one.” Cibulkova, one of the shortest women in the game at just 5ft-3in (1.6 metres) tall, had beaten four top 20 players, including third seed Maria Sharapova, on her fairytale run to her first grand slam final. The 24-year-old dynamo was still smiling at the end of the final and described the tournament as the “most fantastic two weeks of my life”. “It was my first grand slam final and I’m just proud with the way I handled it,” she said. “It wasn’t easy against her because she was playing extremely well. So I’m quite happy.” CHILLY BREEZE The heatwave of the first week of the tournament was a distant memory when the players took to the court on

Saturday evening with a chilly breeze blowing across Melbourne Park. If 20th seed Cibulkova was hoping to ride the momentum of her ruthless semi-final demolition of Agnieszka Radwanska, she got a quick reality check when Li broke her first service game on a double fault. Even at that early stage, it looked like Li only had to tighten up her first serve and cut out the errors in her forehand, as her power, when her range was accurate, was overwhelming Cibulkova. The Slovakian’s run to the final was built not only on her aggression and energy, but also on mental strength, however, and she broke back for 3-3 when Li double-faulted on two successive points. Li upped her level to break again for 6-5, and had a set point on her own serve, only for Cibulkova to send the match to a tiebreak when Li netted a backhand. The Chinese charged to a 5-1 lead in the tiebreak and, with 25 unforced errors to her name, took a one set lead after 70 minutes, when Cibulkova also netted a backhand. Cheered on by the tradi-

Dominika Cibulkova tional Mandarin rallying cry of “jia you” - literally “add oil” - Li rode her own momentum to grab an early break in the second set. Li had a similar lead over Clijsters three years ago, though, before another of the meltdowns that have afflicted her over her career kicked in and she lost to the Belgian. Argentine coach Carlos Rodriguez has toughened her up over the last year or so, however, as was evident when she saved match point before beating Lucie Safarova in the third round. Cilbulkova’s celebratory fist pumps were now becoming fewer and fewer - she hit just 11 winners in the match and four in the second set - as Li got better and better. “After she won first two games, she just relaxed,” Cibulkova said. “She was more relaxed and she was going for her shots.”

MANCHESTER, England-(Reuters) - Spain playmaker Juan Mata has joined Manchester United for a club record transfer fee of 37.1 million pounds ($61.22 million) from Premier League rivals Chelsea. “I am thrilled to be joining United,” the 25-year-old told the club’s website (www.manutd.com) yesterday.

Juan Mata “I have enjoyed some very happy years at Chelsea, but the time has come for a new challenge. United is the perfect place for me, and I am excited at the chance I have to be part of the next phase in the club’s history.” Mata claimed the Player of the Year award in his first two seasons at Chelsea, helping the Londoners win the 2012 Champions League and 2013 Europa League, but has been out of favour this season under manager Jose Mourinho. “Juan is one of the finest playmakers in the game today, and it’s a real pleasure to have secured his signature,” United manager David Moyes said. “He’s been instrumental in Chelsea’s recent success with a notable 28 assists and 32 goals in his last two Premier League seasons.” The fee breaks the previous record of 30.75 million pounds United paid Tottenham Hotspur for Bulgaria striker Dimitar Berbatov in 2008.

Jadeja’s late heroics keep ODI series alive

INDIA kept the one-day series against New Zealand alive with a nerve-wracking tie in the third match at Eden Park in Auckland yesterday. Needing 19 off the final over for the win, and with just one wicket in hand, India came agonisingly close to beating New Zealand’s 314 all out off 50 overs. Ravindra Jadeja belted 15 off the last over, with three wides from Corey Anderson adding to the final tally and leaving the scores level. The Black Caps looked to have done enough to wrap up the five-match series after picking up the key wickets of Virat Kohli for six and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (50) but Ravichandran Ashwin (65) and Jadeja resurrected India’s hopes in putting on 85 for the seventh wicket, with Jadeja’s unbeaten 66 off 45 balls proving everything but a match-winner. Anderson couldn’t deliver with the bat, managing only eight, but he proved lethal with the ball and finished with figures of 5-63, including the key scalps of openers Rohit Sharma and Shikha Dhawan. Hamish Bennett, making a long-awaited return to international cricket from injury, provided superb back-up with 2-41 off his 10 overs. Earlier, New Zealand got off to a flying start after losing the

toss for the third successive game. Martin Guptill provided the backbone of the innings with 111 - his fifth ODI century - and the opener’s 153-run partnership with Kane Williamson (65) set a new record for the second wicket against India. But a flurry of dismissals slowed the New Zealand run-rate after they initially looked on track to comfortably score 330. The home side were 1-189 in the 33rd over but then lost four wickets in 36 balls for 41 runs, with Williamson bowled by Mohammed Shami for 65 and Guptill caught in the deep by Ajinkya Rahane off Jadeja. Five more wickets fell in the last 7.2 overs, Luke Ronchi’s 20-ball 38 the highlight in tandem with a breezy 27 off 23 balls from Tim Southee at the tail-end of the innings. New Zealand won the first two ODIs, with the fourth scheduled for Seddon Park in Hamilton on Tuesday and the fifth in Wellington on Friday. Australia can regain the No. 1 ODI ranking under the following scenarios: If Australia beat England at the Adelaide Oval today, New Zealand need to defeat India in one of the remaining matches. If Australia lose, New Zealand need to defeat India in both of the remaining matches.(CA)

Super 50 team claims final practice fixture under lights -Chattergoon and Deonarine hit 50s

By Calvin Roberts HAVING lost the first day/night and fourth practice fixture to the Rest XI last Tuesday night, the Christopher Barnwell led National XI returned to the Guyana National Stadium, Providence last Friday night to take the final practice encounter by 5 runs, under the Duckworth/Lewis Method. This time around, they were indebted to some incisive fast bowling from Ronsford Beaton who took 3 for 30 and Barnwell’s 2 for 29, to reduce the Rest XI to 194 for 8 from their 50 overs. Skipper Sewnarine Chattergoon led the way with a knock of 74 off (110balls, 9x4, 1x6), while Assad Fudadin made 46. When the rain which came for the second time-the first being at the interval- and stopped play at 22:40hrs, the National XI were 154 for 5 from 42.1 overs, with Narsingh Deonarine unbeaten on 56 and Royston Crandon, who bowled a tidy spell with his off breaks in tandem with Deonarine, on 22 against Raun Johnson’s 3 for 30. Fudadin, who was asked to play on the Rest XI for this encounter, as was evident with members of the National XI in all the practice matches, started things with Chattergoon and they added 117 for the first wicket, with Chattergoon hitting boundaries off Beaton’s first and third delivery of the ninth over. This was after he scored boundaries off the first delivery of the third and eighth over that was bowled by Beaton and Paul Wintz (0-30) respectively, following a sedate start, in which Fudadin looked to assert himself for a big innings. Chattergoon posted his half century from 79 balls, counting six fours and an uppercut six over third man off Beaton in the ninth over, even as Fudadin got into his stride with a sweetly timed drive through extra cover off Crandon. Chattergoon was the first to go, caught by Robin Bacchus

DCC congratulates Barnwell

THE PRESIDENT, executive and members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) wish to congratulate Christopher Barnwell on his appointment as Captain of the Guyana Team for the 2014 West Indies Cricket Board (WICB)/NAGICO Super50 tournament. His selection came as no surprise, since he captained the Guyana team in the same tournament in 2013, when the then skipper Veerasammy Permaul was unavailable due to West Indies commitments and his appointment this year is a testimony to his ever improving and consistent performances over the past few years. The explosive batting all-rounder and West Indies T20 player is currently the most feared batsman in Guyana in the limited over format of the game Christopher Barnwell as evidenced by his domination of local competitions, while he is one of three players from the DCC who was selected for the Guyana team. The others are the aggressive opening batsman Trevon Griffith and medium pacer Paul Wintz. President of DCC, Alfred Mentore, noted that the selection of these players attests to their dedication and commitment and also that of their coach, and alluding to the team’s vast talent and experience, added that Guyana is capable of winning the tournament. He said DCC can proudly boast of it’s proven track record of producing Clive Lloyd, arguably the most successful West Indies captain coupled with other Guyana and West Indian legends Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, the Christiani and Harper brothers and Travis Dowlin, whose talents and skills were nurtured and honed on the playing fields of DCC. The president also informed that the day and night matches will be featured on ESPN and the Club is cordially inviting the executive, members and members of other sister clubs together with the general public, to view these matches free of charge, at the Club’s pavilion on a big screen which will be installed for this purpose. He also stated that refreshments will be on sale, along with giveaways compliments of one of the popular beverage giants, and anticipates an exciting atmosphere of expectation and enjoyment within the ambience of the Club’s welcoming environment – the fervent hope being that the trophy will return to Guyana.

Vishal Singh 26 (29balls 3x4)and Rajendra Chandrika 29 (54balls) added 42 for the fifth wicket, after Fudadin, who had 60 scoreless deliveries recorded amongst his 88 balls faced, was caught at the wicket by Bramble off Barnwell, for his 46 which was decorated with five fours. The demise of both batsmen, Chandrika to Beaton and Singh to Barnwell, saw the Rest XI catapult to their final total , as both Zaheer Mohammed and Shaquille Williams failed to trouble the scorers, even as Amir Khan tried to repeat his heroics from the last game with a run a ball 7 (1x4). Keon Joseph (1 for 26) give the Rest XI a sound start when he sent back Bacchus via the lbw route for 8 at 24 for 1 in the fifth over, enabling a pugnacious looking Trevon Griffith (28) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (16) to add 41 for the second wicket. They both got boundaries off Andre Stoll, before Griffith was caught by Ivan at mid on, off the lively Raun Johnson, who also ruffled up Sarwan with his in swingers, hitting the former Guyana and West Indies skipper in the mid section with one such delivery before he nicked one through to Jason Sinclair. From 65 for 1, the National XI slipped to 80 for 5, losing Griffith, Sarwan, Leon Johnson (01) and Barnwell (07), who was unfortunate to be given out lbw to one that was sliding down the leg side, before Deonarine and Crandon repaired the damage. The Rest XI had the opportunity to dismiss Deonarine early in his innings, but Chattergoon grassed the opportunity that was offered off Khan at mid-wicket, when the left hander

was on 5 at 85 for 5 in the 24th over. Deonarine said thanks for the chance by sweeping Khan for 4, the first boundary since Griffith got his back to back boundaries off Raun Johnson in the 8th over, a short ball from the lanky Johnson was dispatched with disdain and authority by Deonarine for his fourth four, realising his 50 as well from 78balls. However, the heavens opened up at 22:40hrs and brought a halt to the proceedings following which the National XI, who were ahead by five runs at that stage, won the contest via the Duckworth/Lewis Method. The cricketers broke camp yesterday, and will depart Guyana on Tuesday morning for Trinidad and Tobago to do battle in the WICB/NAGICO Super50 tournament out of Group A alongside defending champions Windward Islands, Jamaica and Ireland.

‘Fishy’ pedals away with first National Park feature cycle race ---At Ricks and Sari 21st Annual event

MARLON `Fishy’ Williams returned one hour 17 minutes 09.65 seconds in winning the feature 35-lap event of the 21st Annual Ricks and Sari Agro Industries sponsored National Park cycle programme yesterday. The win for Williams is his first for the year and he vows to continue his winning ways next weekend when national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed stages the National Sports Commission’s annual 11-race Mashramani programme in the National Park on Saturday and the 40-mile road race the following day (Sunday) in the West Demerara area. The time Williams took yesterday is one minute slower that last year’s winner Raynauth Jeffrey who had clocked one hour, 16 minutes 56 seconds in winning the event. Orville Hinds who won the cycling season’s opening event in Berbice last Sunday placed second to Williams yesterday, while Michael Anthony finished third. The fourth, fifth and sixth place finishers were Jeffrey, Robin Persaud and Junior Niles respectively. Jeffrey, however, won three of the eight prime prizes that were up for grabs while Williams, A. Abdool, Anthony, Hinds and Grant Stuart won one each. Anthony had earlier won the juveniles 10-lap race ahead of Akeem Arthur and Stephine Husbands, respectively. In the open five-lap race for mountain bikers, Clyde Jacobs came out on top ahead of Ozia McAully and Richard Charles respectively. The three-lap race for boys 12-14 years old was won by Romalo Crawford. Second was Raphael Leung and third was Nigel de Quiso. Niles won the veterans under-50 years five-lap event ahead of Tuashan Harris and Shameer Baksh, respectively. The veterans’ over- 50 years of age five-lap race was won by Linden Blackmam.

Cross Country Race set for Berbice

PRESIDENT of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), Aubrey Hutson, says he expects a good turn out this afternoon at the Cross Country race in Berbice, which will mark the beginning of the Association’s 2014 packed calendar of events. Hutson said everything is set to start off the event which is expected to run off at 15:30hrs this afternoon, beginning and ending at the Esplanade Ground, Berbice. According to Hutson, after beginning at the ground the race will run through Tucberg Housing Scheme, the backlands of Stanleytown, then to Water Street before ending back at the Ground. The event will feature races in three categories, namely, the junior, youth and senior categories, with the seniors running a 8km race, while the junior and youth category will both run 6km races. The youth category is for athletes under the age of 16 years, while athletes between 16 – 20 years old will fall into the junior category. Trophy prizes will be offered to athletes placing first, second and third in each category. According to Hutson, the hosting of the event in Berbice is no coincidence, as taking the event to Berbice is the first of the Assocaition’s initiative of the year to see athletic events carried to all parts of Guyana. “It is the first time, that I can remember, that we are having a cross country in Berbice. It is part of our effort, as we promised at counsel, to decentralise out events from Georgetown and send it to outlying areas, so we wanted to start off with that,” Hutson said yesterday. Several athletes from Georgetown are expected to be travelling up for the event, with transportation set to leave Georgetown at 12:00hrs. According to Hutson , several athletes from along the East Coast are also expected to participate in the event. (Tamica Garnett)

Joseph slams WICB over silence on ICC Draft Proposal

T JOHN’S, Antigua, (CMC) – Former West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) vicepresident Clarvis Joseph has labelled the WICB’s “no comment” approach to the draft presented by the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Finance & Commercial Affairs committee as cowardly. Joseph was quoted in the Antigua Observer as saying that there are wide implications for the development of cricket in the region and the WICB’s silence on the issue has done it no favour. “We have lost the leadership role that we used to play in ICC by adopting the cowardly attitude of not making it public. There are very wide implications for the development of cricket and that is all I would say at this time because I really don’t want to get involved for obvious reasons that you would appreciate,” Joseph said. “But I find it disgusting that we are not prepared to stand up and declare out of hand and talk

Former WICB vicepresident Clarvis Joseph

about it when we should have gone to the meeting and that is nonsense. “There is too much investment by government and the people in the Caribbean in the development of cricket. We have been let down in terms of the standard of the players but that is no excuse to adopt a cowardly attitude,” he added. The proposal, if adopted, gives control of Test cricket to England, India and Australia and also includes the formation of a two-tier structure of Test cricket, with those three nations immune

from relegation. Joseph, who said he has seen the draft in its entirety, warns that the motive of the proposal hinges largely on finances. “My knowledge suggests that the members of the West Indies Cricket Board have not been presented with the full report but have been presented with a power point presentation of the report and if you read the full report, there is nothing to do with cricket,” the former VP said. “It has everything to do with money and distribution of revenue and if you look at it from a purely cricket perspective, the proposal has no merit. “It is not today that England has sought to dominate the decision-making in ICC and if you go back as far as when Alan Weir was president, the ECC requested a veto on ICC matters as far as that,” he added. WICB has reserved comment on the draft proposal until they have made a presentation to the ICC at its Board meeting scheduled for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Police Sports Club athlete Alita Moore off to Higher Heights

SPRINT ace and scholarship awardee Alita Moore was expected to leave Guyana in the early hours this morning for the United States of America ahead of beginning her studies with the ASA College in New York.. Moore was scheduled to be on a 1:30 am Fly Jamaica flight this morning, and the Inter-Guiana Games gold medalist says she’s not too anxious ahead of her new journey, her only apprehension ahead of her new life is how she will cope with the weather. When she arrives in the US, Moore will join compatriots Chavez Ageday, Stephan James, and Jevina Straker all whom were awarded scholarships similar to Moore’s. Moore is the last one to travel to the US, with Ageday,

James and Straker having travelled to the US, since last year, to begin training ahead of the commencement of their studies at the College. It was last year that the four athletes received the two year scholarships to train and study at the college. The quartet is expected to begin school from February 2. Moore, a Lance Corporal with the Guyana Police Force (GPF), will be studying Criminal Justice, which she says she chose because she feels it would be most beneficial to her when she returns to Guyana after her two year stint.
