Guyana stages electrifying performances on Day 2 of Carifesta XII - under the theme ‘Rights and Rhythms of Guyana’
By Ravin Singh in Haiti SHARING the stage with regional counterpart and host, Haiti, on Saturday evening at the National Chorale in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Guyana produced electrifying performances at the ‘Guyana Night’ presentation, which fulfilled the country’s ultimate goal of creating a lasting impression at the cultural event. Another late start on day two of the 12th edition of the Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA), failed to invoke any form of major hiccups during Guyana’s presentation which commenced just after 7:00 pm, with a detailed visual documentary boasting of the country’s local tourism. The language barrier between the English narration and the French speaking nationals however, did little justice in aiding Guyana’s cause during this presenta-
tion. Nevertheless, the art forms which rely on the use of physical presentations rather than vocal ones erupted a crowd clamouring with enthusiasm. A melodious medley of folksongs by the National Steel Orchestra beautifully tempered cool evening atmosphere. Folk songs, including Kuma Kuma Fish, Missy Loss She Gold Ring, Bamboo Fyah and Uncle Joe formed part of the group’s presentation. This was followed by a smooth transition into traditional drumming by two fused groups representing the dominant ethnic groups in Guyana. The resulting Indian and African drumming techniques were merged into a pulsating, vibrant tapestry of sound that delighted listeners. But what would Guyanese culture be without dance? The answer to this
The National Steel Orchestra of Guyana provides glimpses of what the musical industry in Guyana has to offer question was etched on the minds of those present on Saturday evening after former Miss Guyana India, Roshini Boodhoo, and her two young dancers demonstrated just how important this art form is to Guyanese culture. In traditional Indian wear, the trio expertly maneuvered themselves through dance to a religious song that was obviously not known in this section of the Region. Many were told of the legendary stories of the
Massacooramaan, a huge, hairy, man-like creature, also known as Sea Master. Tales have it that the character lives in rivers in remote areas of Guyana, capsises small boats and eats the occupants. But on Saturday night, Haitians experienced, in full effect, a realistic dramatic display of this folk story. With cultural diversity being the hallmark of CARIFESTA, the National Dance Company who took to the stage incorporating complex dance routines to serve as a dramatic expression in storytelling. The dramatic presentation portrayed the unexpected death of a ring-leader which had been the result of a ‘stick fight’. But evening showers, which seemingly appear to be routine in the host country, given its occurrence in the last three days, once again, prematurely ended the night’s proceedings, leaving hunger for more of the Guyanese culture. The steel orchestra, supported by the drummers, were requested to bring the Please turn to page 11

Gov’t blunders on Budget Estimates … violates laws assented to by President Granger
By Derwayne Wills CONSIDERATIONS of 2015 budgeted estimates in the National Assembly were stalled for five hours yesterday when it was uncovered that budgetary estimates presented by Finance Minister Winston Jordan a few weeks ago were done against two laws, which were passed under the David Granger Administration. Those laws are the Constitution (Amendment) Act 2015, and the Fiscal Management and Authority (FMA) (Amendment) Act 2015, which were the first legislation passed in the 11th Parliament under the A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) Government. Member of Parliament) for the Opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Anil Nandlall, told reports during a press conference at the Public Buildings, Brickdam, yesterday, that his party had raised concerns to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Dr Barton Scotland, regarding the illegality of the estimates. “The estimates as currently structured and presented are in violation of the Constitution (Amendment) Act of 2015, and the Fiscal Management and Accountability (FMA) (Amendment) Act of 2015,” Nandlall, a former Attorney General, told the
press corps at a midday press conference yesterday. Explaining the five-hour delay for yesterday’s sitting which started at 2:00pm, as opposed to 9:00am, Nandlall said this was due to a meeting
sembly reflecting those corrections, and that the motion is intended to bring the estimates in conformity with the new prescription,” the PPP MP said. Another Opposition MP,
ning of the session at 2:00pm yesterday that the considerations for constitutional agencies, which were to be considered yesterday, would be taken at another sitting. Those agencies include

the Speaker had summoned with members of both sides of the House. “We had a long discussion, and in the end, it was accepted that estimates, as they are presently constructed, are indeed in violation of the two pieces of legislation which they passed,” Nandlall continued. “They (Government) have undertaken to correct those estimates and will soon present a motion to the As-
Gail Teixeira, said another shift that has to be included in the motion is where Rights Commissions were improperly placed under various Ministries based on the 2003 amendment to the Third Schedule. An arrangement was made that considerations for constitutional bodies will be deferred during this period for estimates until the motion is brought. Speaker of the National Assembly, Dr Barton Scotland, said during the begin-
the Parliament Office; the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions; Judicial, Police, Teaching and Public Service Commissions; Public Service Appellate Tribunal; Office of the Ombudsman; and the Guyana Elections Commission. A second press conference was held yesterday with members of the Government where Vice-President and Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge said, “The PPP has
mates conflicting with laws on the books. The budget estimates presented on August 10 were placed before the National Assembly a month or so after the laws that were approved by the National Assembly and assented to by President David Granger. Asked whether the challenges will result in an extension of the three days stipulated by Government for consideration of the estimates, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo
interjected that an agreement was made for the estimates to be made for 10 and a half hours for three days. “I don’t see us going beyond the Sub-Committee’s recommendation at this point in time, but taking into consideration there has been some delays in the morning session, I’m not sure how we’ll be able to tweak them to allow for the considerations to take place as we had agreed on in the sub-committee from 9:30am 11:00pm,” the Prime Minister continued. The laws in question, which have been violated by the presentation of the budgetary estimates, are those which grant independence from the Executive to constitutional agencies. Those agencies, based on the amendments, would have been allowed to draw monies directly from the consolidated fund. However, the 2015 budgetary estimates have listed some of those agencies under Ministries of Government. The Opposition PPP is concerned that the conflict between the legislation and the budget was allowed to pass through the Government’s filter system which includes a number of lawyers, economists, and even former Speaker of the National Assembly in the 10th Parliament, Raphael Trotman.

PM’s presence in Parliament stirs concern By Derwayne Wills
PRIME Minister Moses Nagamootoo was sworn in to act in the capacity as President on Sunday when President David Granger left Guyana for Trinidad and Tobago. But the PM’s continued presence in the compound of the Public Buildings, Brickdam yesterday stirred concern from the Opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP). A l t h o u g h G u y a n a ’s
Parliament comprises the National Assembly and the President, the President, under convention, does not sit as a member of the National Assembly. Even when the President enters the National Assembly, he is seated on the right hand of the Speaker. If the President desires to address the House, it can only be through a Special Sitting of the Assembly, according to the Parliamentary Standing Orders. Generally, contents of the President’s speech cannot be
raised in the House, unless by a motion moved for such to be considered, as was done when the President addressed the National Assembly after coming to Office, and again in July of this year, on the Venezuela controversy. This is according to Parliamentary Standing Order 41 (8). Opposition PPP MP Gail Teixeira said a concern was brought to both the Speaker of the National Assembly, Dr Barton Scotland, and Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs, about the

acting President’s presence in the Parliament. “We did bring to the Speaker and the Clerk’s attention that Mr Nagamootoo as Prime Minister was acting with responsibilities of the President when the President is overseas.” Teixeira disclosed to the press corps yesterday at a midday press conference in the Public Building, Brickdam. She explained that in the 9th and 10th Parliament, which were presided over by Speakers Ralph Ramkarran, and Raphael Trotman, respectively, who had ruled, “The Prime Minister or any Minister acting on behalf of the President while he is overseas cannot be in the House and cannot sit in the Committee.” While PM Nagamootoo did not return to the National Assembly after the press conference, he said at the time, “I am an elected member of the National Assembly, I am aware that there is a conven-

tion that has dealt with the issue of someone acting as the President.” “I can only tell you that I am performing the functions of the President; but I am the Prime Minister, an elected Member of Parliament, and I am the Leader of Government Business in the House,” Mr Nagamootoo continued. This position did not sit well with Opposition PPP/C MP Anil Nandlall, former Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister, who told this publication in an invited comment that Nagamootoo had been sworn in to act as President on Sunday, “therefore Mr Nagamootoo cannot be part of the National Assembly of Guyana.” “Until or unless he ceases acting as President. His presence here, and if he attempts to participate in any proceedings in the National Assembly, it will be in violation of the Constitution of Guyana,” Nandlall continued, while expressing shock that

Mr Nagamootoo is a lawyer but would still attempt to violate the law. Asked whether there are provisions to sanction if Mr Nagamootoo were to enter the Chamber, Nandlall said “If he goes back into the Chamber then the entire business of the Parliament will be tainted by an unconstitutionality and that means that the entire proceedings we are embarking upon will be unlawful, illegal, unconstitutional, null, void, and of no legal effect.” Up to 5:15 pm yesterday, the Prime Minister’s vehicles were not in the compound of the Public Buildings, which houses the National Assembly. At about 9:15 pm last evening, the Prime Minister made his return to the House. When asked by this publication if President Granger had returned to Guyana, the Prime Minister gave no definitive answer.

Failure to gazette new Gov’t Ministries stalls budget considerations By Derwayne Wills WITH a number of challenges raised by the Opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) about a number of new Government Ministries included in the Budget Estimates for 2015, the Government has no choice but to gazette those ministries, thus certifying them as budget agencies recognised by law. Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Barton Scotland addressed the House last evening on the issue after a meeting with representatives from both the A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) Government, and the Opposition PPP/C. Coming out of that meeting, it was agreed between the two sides that a number of new agencies would have to be gazetted before they can be considered in the Budgetary Estimates for the Committee of Supply of the National Assembly, which first sat yesterday. The Ministries of the Presidency, Communities; Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs; Public Infrastructure, Social Protection, Public Security; Public Health, Tourism; and Business, are now to be included under the Third Schedule of the Fiscal Management and Accountability (Amendment) Act, which lists the budget agencies. These new ministries were made effective when the new Administration came into office following the May
11 election. “An order to this effect will be issued by the Minister of Finance and shall be gazetted to take effect from the 22nd August, 2015,” the Speaker told the House. This move will ensure a smooth transition into the consideration for estimates under the new agencies, which were listed in the 2015 Budget even though they had not yet been legally listed as budget agencies. Aside from this, the Speaker noted that a number of constitutional agencies had been placed under Government Ministries. This was incorrect, since those very agencies were given financial independence based on the amendments to the Constitution, as well as the Fiscal Management and Accountability Act under the David Granger Administration. Those agencies include the Chamber of the Director of Public Prosecutions; the Judicial, Public, Police, and Teaching Service Commissions; the Public Service Appellate Tribunal; the Public Procurement Commission; Office of the Ombudsman; Guyana Elections Commission; Supreme Court of the Judicature; Parliament Office; the Rights Commissions; and the Ethnic Relations Commission. Those agencies previously were catered for under a table in the estimates titled “Subsidies and Contributions to Local Organisations,” but will now be classified under “Local Organisation only
Speaker Barton Scotland
(strictly speaking local Organisations) and Subventions to Constitutional Agencies.” The Speaker lauded the collective efforts of both sides to work to a compromise. “This takes us quite a far way forward, and we hope that we can build on it, in a matter which we think matters here this evening and beyond,” he said. He explained further that the constitutional agencies will form part of the considerations. The Speaker expressed hopes that all the estimates that were to be considered for the Monday session would be concluded on that day. Even with these challenges, the Committee of Supply of the National Assembly, which approves budgetary estimates, will continue to sit until Wednesday, without extension, as stipulated by a Government motion.
PM: 95,000 laptops given to students ( Tr i n i d a d G u a r d i a n ) PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday vowed never to stop laptop distributions to students if she is returned to office. She also pledged to make Tobago a duty free haven to boost the tourism industry there. Speaking at a People’s Partnership meeting at Massy Stores carpark in St Augustine, Persad-Bissessar disclosed that in her five years of governance, 95,000 laptops had been given out. She also revealed two other initiatives where students will benefit. “I will give a computer to every first-year university student and also, on a phased basis, to give Tablets/iPads to children in the
primary schools. They must be equipped in today’s digital world,” Persad-Bissessar said. She said the laptop distribution had been successful so far, as only one had been reported stolen, adding, “We were able to get it back within one day’s time due to the technology installed in the laptops.” Persad-Bissessar also announced that her Government would make Tobago a duty free country if returned to office. “This will attract tourists and bring in revenue from tourism. We will also build a mariner in Tobago, which will also bring in revenue through tourism,” she said. The PM also sought to bring relief to squatters in the St Augustine South area.
Echoing the words of St Augustine candidate Prakash Ramadhar, who spoke earlier, Persad-Bissessar said that by the end of this week people will be given their title deeds. She said title deeds have already been given out to the people of Tobago and assured that the exercise would continue. In his speech earlier, St Joseph candidate Vasant Bharath said the People’s Partnership Government had halted growth decline and further disclosed that 11,000 new businesses had started in the last five years, with about 56,000 jobs being created. He also said foreign investment had increased about five times, from US$500,000 to US$2.5 billion.

EDITORIAL
GUYANA
Democratise the airwaves now, Mr. Prime Minister WE welcome the announcement by the Hon Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, that the Government would be moving to address the vexing issue of radio and television licenses. This announcement, which came as part of the Prime Minister’s contribution to the budget debate, is long overdue. It is one of the critical areas of Government operations that cry out for urgent attention. Successive Governments have jealously guarded access to the public media. But the previous Government took it to ridiculous lengths. Whereas
previous Governments monopolised the State media, the PPP Government not only transformed the State media into mouthpieces of the ruling party, but as the PM observed, it “doled” out ownership of radio and television frequencies to its friends, relatives and party members. In what could only be described as a naked rape of Government resources, the then Jagdeo regime in November 2011 awarded 22 frequencies to its friends and relatives. Applications by entities deemed to be unfriendly to the Government were summarily ignored. The end result was
that both the public and private media were now owned and controlled by the ruling elite. But more than that, only the Government stations and those affiliated to it by virtue of who owned them have been able to transmit to the entire country. The private TV stations not affiliated to the Government have had to settle for limited transmission capacity despite repeated applications for upgrade. This is unacceptable. The public airwaves are exactly that--publicly owned. It is part of our commonly owned resources and should be equitably
distributed. No political entity, including the Government, should have any unfair advantage. In this regard, the previous Government may have acted unlawfully. The PM is, therefore, on the right track when he suggested that some of the licenses granted in 2011 could be reversed. We do not see how the situation could be corrected outside of the reversal of some of these licenses. The free and equal dissemination of information is a vital part of an effective democracy. As such, any attempt to disrupt this process flies in the face of
equal justice. We have seen the consequences of this gross disregard for fairness. During the last election, the PPP was able, through the State media and its affiliated State media, to get more access to remote areas of the country, particularly those inhabited by Amerindians. This was and is tantamount to electoral malpractice. Despite visits to the Amerindian communities, the then Opposition parties could not match the PPP in this regard. At a time when Guyana is faced with Venezuelan aggression, it is
important that residents in those areas closer to the border with Venezuela have access to more programming that tells the Guyanese story. Those residents and the country as a whole also have a right to hear all sides of our local politics. The political dynasty that controls the electronic media must be dismantled forthwith. There must be balance in ownership of this vital public resource. Democratise the airwaves now. Nothing less will suffice. Over to you, Mr. Prime Minister.
Address by the Hon. Prime Minister and First Vice-President Mr Moses V. Nagamootoo – in the National Assembly Friday, August 21, 2015 AS regards the Office of the Prime Minister which appears as a separate budget agency, I wish to report that we have decided that for the rest of this year we will take a frugal approach so the billion dollar budget voted last year has now been reduced to just over 375 million capital and current – inclusive of subventions to State media. In these months the Department of Public Information in my ministry has undertaken to produce a white paper on public information policy. The rationale for this is that Government should disseminate public information on what it is doing through newspaper, radio, television and social media that is not partisan but national. In the face of national threats the Department of Public Information will also map out strategies to extend radio and television to hinterland regions. We also propose to review all licenses for radio and television which have
been arbitrarily and unlawfully given out to friends, family and cronies and to regularise the broadcasting landscape. This includes the return of the television channel to the people of Linden and activation of radio located at Turkeyen to but the University of Guyana on air and prospect of community radios being established in rural and hinterland Guyana. We also plan to extend signals of Radio Paiwomak to broadcast in indigenous languages and to better utilise the learning channel. We hope to streamline the public information services which have all be saddled with huge debts due to political manipulation and abuse. So much of the allocations in my ministry are to recapitalise and assist the public information media to get back on their feet. Much has been said and distorted about our bold 100 Day promise to the Guyanese people in our manifesto. In all, we made 21 of these promises and with three days to spare IT IS TIME to report that we have kept our promis-
The Basic Minimum Wage increased as of July 1st by 26.4%, from $39,450 to $50,000. All other public servants are set to receive a 5% increase plus a $5,000 monthly top up.

vital sector. Our Government has placed emphasis on ICT and has announced plans to establish a Centre of Excellence in information technology.

Mr. Speaker a reformed legislation has been tabled by this Coalition Government in this National Assembly and a reformed bill was approved. His Excellency, President Granger has since assented to this bill and regulations are soon to be put in place to bring this act fully in force to contain dirty money from further infiltrating the economy. Mr. Speaker the implementation of the 100 day plan reveals the quality of our no nonsense leadership style to get things done and our preparedness, from day 1, to keep these promises. The above 21 items on our 100 day menu do not complete the picture of our diligent Government which
went beyond the scope of the plan as it marshaled leadership and national resources to combat the spurious claims by Venezuela to our territory of which I spoke at the beginning of my presentation. Mr. Speaker this Government also successfully waged battles against two episodes of flooding which has seen an unleashing of the creative genius of our people who voluntarily and spontaneously participated in a national clean up drive. Further beyond the hundred day expectation was the establishment of a steering committee on Constitutional Reform, an issue which loomed large during the elections campaign. The 100 day promises merely tested the character of this Government to deliver. I thank President Granger and all my colleagues in the Government and many public servants and ordinary citizens who helped in this effort to prove that in all of us there is a better angel and that we could be better than what we have been. However as I have ended all my budget presentations in this Parliament, I appeal for national unity and for cooperation among all parties in this house. As I extend a warm welcome to the Opposition I also offer our hand of togetherness and hope we could have bipartisan cooperation and the promotion of trust that could lead us to the political paradise generations dreamt about which is the state of national unity with an all inclusive system of governance. I repeat this promise today and look forward, as the budget says, to a FRESH APPROACH to the good life in a green economy. I applaud Minister Winston Jordan and Government for a thoughtful budget and I commend its full approval by this house. I thank you.

Bush Lot farmers seeking easy access to farmlands By Leroy Smith
FARMERS at Bush Lot are calling on the Ministry of Agriculture to assist them in getting easy access to their farmlands. Last Saturday the Guyana Chronicle visited the area where farmers spoke primarily about the access dam to almost 55,000 acres of farmlands off the main road. It was noted that while some works were done to the main access dam that farmers use to get to the farmlands, since the scheme was developed in the 1980s, there has not been any significant work to the dam since. Rice farmer Rachpaul
istration for the state of the dam, nor was he looking to have the issues they were raising to be turned into a point for political mileage. He said that all farmers in the area want attention paid to the dam so that accessing rice farms can be much easier than it is now. The farmers are also willing to pool their resources to convert the main access dam to an all-weather road which will see each rice farmer being able to get close to the lands with ease. At the moment they spend days in the backdam to stock machinery along the dam which results in them losing time and money in
the sentiments of Hamlet. He spoke specifically to the downtime having to use the dam during rainy season. He stated that sometimes farmers may need to access their lands to effect a one-day work but due to the state of the dam they end up spending three to four days getting that job done. The man who has been farming for the past five years also stressed the point of the financial burden on persons who do not have their own machinery and have to rent from others. According to him if a budget was created to rent machinery for one day, once problems are encountered getting into the farmlands then
James Sooklall, a father of six, who plants 60 acres of rice told the Guyana Chronicle that whenever there is bad weather the dam becomes extremely hard to traverse. He also spoke of tractors getting stuck in the mud and having to remain there for hours and sometimes days. Meanwhile when this publication and another media house ventured into the backlands with the farmers it was observed that the dam was indeed in a deplorable
state. What was also notable was that it did not rain much the day before or the day that we visited but yet the dam was soggy and provided a challenge for the tractor we were traveling on. Sections of the dam were also impassable even as it appeared to be at the level of the bordering trenches, with rice fields on the left and right. The farmers also spoke out about how their rice cultivation continues to be eaten
up and mashed down by cows and other animals which are taken into the rice fields on a daily basis to graze. The Guyana Chronicle was on hand to witness a cattle rearer leading his cows into the rice cultivation area to graze. When asked by this publication about the cows eating down the rice, the cattle owner remarked: “They does just stop and eat when they passing man, they cannot eat out all the rice.”

Farmers footing it along a dam where no tractor can traverse at this time due to its impassable state Hamlet told the Guyana Chronicle that he has been farming for more than fifty years in the area. In addition to the main dam that gets farmers to their cultivation areas, all other dams have either run flat, gotten low and are run over by water from the farmlands whenever rain falls, making the dams impassable. However, the farmer made it clear that he was not blaming the former Admin-
the process. He added that access to spray, cultivate and reap remains a bugbear all because of the ever so often impassable dam. Hamlet said that the number of tractors which use the main dam makes it very hard for each farmer whenever it rains as the dam becomes hard to traverse. Meanwhile, another farmer, Simon Dutchin, who has been cultivating some 100 acres of rice land echoed
there are delays which see the machinery being kept for more than the day, that incurs added price of fuel, rental, workmanship and downtime also. Once that happens machinery is then left in the backdam and workers have to be paid to keep guard to avoid vandalism. He also called for there to be more drainage works and development of the MMA/ ADA Scheme.

NTFC holds three meetings for Project Restore Guyana
THE National Task Force Commission (NTFC) for ‘Project Restore Guyana’ last Friday held three key meetings, where important information was shared in relation to the project. Cabinet has taken the decision to initiate this project, and the NTFC’s inaugural meeting was held on Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Chairman of the NTFC, Major General (retd) Joseph Singh, who is also Chairman of the Board of NAREI, addressed more than 150 Toshaos at the National Toshaos’ Council Meeting held at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre from 9:00 am on that day. He made a power-point presentation which covered the five major areas of concern that prompted ‘Project Restore Guyana’. These comprise drainage: Solid waste management; traffic management, including hinterland river and air traffic, and removal of derelict equipment; sustainable urban, rural and hinterland renewal; and welfare management of the homeless, addicted and mentally challenged. In relation to agriculture, the Major General noted that, historically, our ancestors had to deal with flooding and other climate related challenges, but nevertheless adopted measures to survive. He called upon the indigenous communities across Guyana to value what nature has given them, and to employ new techniques in agriculture, such as shade agriculture and
drip irrigation, so that their children would not see agricultural activities as burdensome. At 11:00 am the Public and Stakeholders Consultation Committee, one of the six committees of the National Task Force Commission (NTFC), held its first meeting under the chairmanship of Mr. Alex Graham. This was primarily an orientation session for members of this committee, who are mainly media professionals. These professionals were brought up-to-date regarding the scope of work which has to be undertaken by the NTFC and the critical role they have to play in broad-based consultations across Guyana and to all citizens. Mr. Graham observed that we have failed as a nation to effectively safeguard our natural heritage and efficiently manage our resources, and therefore we have to work in a consultative and collaborative manner to identify the options and best solutions. At 2:00 pm, the NTFC met with the Mayor and senior staff of the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown. The IDB was also represented. At this meeting, Chairman Major General (retd) Joseph Singh explained the work of the NTFC through a power point presentation. He added that establishment of the NTFC was intended to complement the work of the Mayor and City Council, and he looks forward to continuing consultations and coordination
between those two entities. Engineer, Berkley Wickham gave a power-point presentation on the layout and design and critical aspects of drainage in central Georgetown. City Engineer Colvern Venture gave a power point presentation on the hindrances to efficient drainage of Georgetown, and the action being taken to address them. In his invited comments, Mayor Hamilton Green congratulated the Government on establishing this Task Force, and complimented Major General (retd) Joseph Singh for accepting the challenge to chair this commission. The Mayor noted that institutional and behavioural changes would be necessary to restore Guyana. He also noted that people are in the habit of doing things in their personal interest, which are not necessarily in the national interest; and he said the time has come for the enforcement of laws and the removal of encumbrances.

Colin Welch named interim CEO of GPL THE Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) yesterday announced the interim appointment of Colin Welch as Chief Executive Officer following the removal of CEO Bharrat Dindyal. According to a release from GPL, the appointment which was made since August 17 would see Welch being moved up from Deputy CEO (Technical) to being interim CEO at the power company. It was also stated that Renford Homer, Senior Divisional Director, Commercial Services and Information Technology, has been designated interim Deputy CEO. "The interim appointments will continue until the new Board of Directors is installed, hence, advertisements to fill
existing vacancies on GPL’s Executive Management Structure will be executed," the release stated. Earlier, the power company’s Board of Directors, through its Chairman Winston Brassington, had expressed their dissatisfaction with the CEO's performance. Dindyal was fired by the Government less than two weeks ago after it was discovered that his contract had expired since December 2014 and he was working at the behest of former Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, based on their verbal agreement to a six-month extension of the contract. However, recently there was a public feud between Dindyal and Welch, who had sought twice to have two GPL
officials removed from GPL’s premises. The officials in question appealed to Dindyal and he intervened on both occasions to overturn Welch’s decision. During one of these incidents there was a confrontation between the two, that was made public via social media where Dindyal was heard using profanity and making disparaging reference to the Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson. It was revealed that the former CEO pocketed $3.8M in basic salary, $875,000 in monthly gratuity, $500,000 for accommodation, security allowance at $525,000, leave passage at $210,000, and medical allowance at $210,000. This would take the former CEO’s monthly salary to a staggering $6.1M and annual earnings to $74.3M.

Female sergeants of the Guyana Police Force take a photo opportunity getting down to business
SEVERAL female ranks of the Guyana Police Force are at present in the United Kingdom taking part in the annual International Association of Women Police Conference which got underway last Sunday and concludes on August 28th. The 24-strong group from Guyana is being led by Senior Superintendent Maxine Graham and includes ranks from various divisions and departments of the Guyana Police Force. Guyana has been regularly attending this conference, which is being held at St. David Hall Cardiff in the UK. This year the Government of Guyana sponsored the full trip of Superintendent Desiree Fowler while the other women in the team would have raised funds for their travel and received some assistance from the force itself. The conference is geared at building the capacity of police forces around the world through its female ranks. They are drawn from the Caribbean and other countries of the world. Over the next few days they will be exposed to training in the areas of leadership, psychology, domestic violence, language and communication, women and terrorism, police community support, criminology, prosecution and investigation. The ranks will also be engaged on such issues as public disorder, diversification and globalised crimes, convictions and imprisonment, negotiations, effective victim support, ethics, body cameras, sexual exploitation, globalisation, dealing with loss of colleagues and stress. In addition, the training will focus on working with partners, policing and young people, development through coaching and mentoring, healthy lifestyle, achieving job success and other topical areas. Upon their return to Guyana, the most senior rank in the team will brief the Commissioner of Police on the outcome of the conference. Over the years lots of insights the team would have garnered during the conference would be deliberated upon and applied to local strategies of crime fighting and policing in Guyana.
Buck Hill Village Day billed for September 5th IN its preparation for the celebration of Amerindian Heritage Month, the Buck Hill Development Committee of Linden is
requesting support for the hosting of their first Buck Hill Village Day on September 5th, 2015. Buck Hill is an Amer-
indian settlement located a t Wi s m a r o n t h e We s t Bank of Linden, on a hill about 200 feet from the river and 100 feet above
sea level. The Village Day event is aimed at rehabilitating their playfield which would allow residents to
benefit from healthcare, trade, sports, educational, and other activities. The Amerindians have occupied this vil-
lage for about 200 years or more. However, over the years the village has been somewhat underdeveloped.

President calls on Region 2 residents to optimise opportunities in fertile community PRESIDENT David Granger has told Pomeroon farmers that the country must not be tied to exporting raw materials alone, but must add value to products. Speaking at the handing over ceremony of a school boat at Charity last Friday, the President said Pomeroon has the best coconut water in the country, and is the king of coconuts. He called for Region Two to get more involved in agro-processing, and for value to be added to products like rice crisps, coconut oil and sugar cake. Deeming the Pomeroon-Supenaam community rich and fertile and having great potential, the President called on residents to become entrepreneurs and add to the development of the Region.

U.S. Embassy welcomes first Fulbright U.S. scholar in 20 years
Fulbright U.S. scholar Jennifer Hoyte meeting Charge d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Guyana Bryan Hunt
The U.S. Embassy in Guyana is pleased to welcome Fulbright U.S. scholar Jennifer Hoyte to Guyana. Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy, Bryan Hunt, met with Ms. Hoyte on Wednesday, August 19, 2015, and expressed appreciation to Fulbright for reactivation of the programme in Guyana after a 20-year hiatus. The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program sends U.S. scholars and professionals abroad to lecture or conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. Jennifer Hoyte holds a Master of Science in Computer and Information Science from Ohio State University. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Education at Florida International University. As part of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, Ms. Hoyte will be teaching Philosophy and Issues in the Teaching of Mathematics at the University of Guyana for the first semester of the 2015/2016 academic year. The course will focus on how teachers can be more reflective, and will cover topics such as Classroom Management, Pedagogy, and Enrichment Activities for the Secondary School Mathematics Classrooms. The Fulbright Programme was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, and is sponsored by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).
Councillor commends Region 2 Chairman for Charity walkabout COUNCILLOR Julian Cummings has commended Region Two Chairman Mr Devanand Ramdatt for his "walk about" and interaction with residents of Charity. Speaking at this month’s statutory meeting of the Region 2 Democratic Council, held in the Regional Boardroom at Anna Regina, Mr Cummings said he is pleased with the Chairman’s visit, and the way he walked around Charity, meeting with residents, discussing their problems, and finding immediate solutions. Responding, the Chairman said his intention is to continue reaching out to people on the ground. He said he cannot sit in his office at Anna Regina and solve problems that are affecting people in their villages; he has to be on the ground, so immediate actions can be taken. The Chairman also disclosed that an itinerary will be developed for a series of face-the-community meetings across the Region over the coming weeks. He assured Councillors that the itinerary will be available to them at the next RDC meeting in September. Mr Ramdatt and Vice Chairlady Ms Nandranie Coonjah have already met with hundreds of residents at face-the-community meetings at Lima Sands, Golden Fleece Estate, and Good Hope.

Citizens are urged to register for the city’s ‘Green Georgetown’ Volunteer Corps
Town Clerk Royston King
THE Mayor and City Council has embarked on a comprehensive plan to involve citizens in the revitalisation process of the city and will be doing so with a ‘Green Georgetown’ Volunteer Corps. According to the M&CC, this Corps is set to use various skills available within local communities to make Georgetown the greatest, cleanest city in the Caribbean.
Guatemala President Perez Molina resists calls to resign
Protestors have rallied outside the presidential palace in Guatemala City
(BBC News) GUATEMALAN President Otto Perez Molina has said that he will not stand down over corruption allegations. In a televised address to the nation, Mr Perez Molina dismissed claims that he had received money from a customs bribery scheme. He insisted that his conscience was clear. Eight members of his government have resigned over the allegations and a former vice-president has been arrested. On Sunday, the agriculture and health minsters became the latest to resign. “I categorically reject any link” to the scandal, the president said. “I will not resign and will fully submit myself to the legal process.” Mr Perez Molina’s comments followed a late-night cabinet meeting held behind closed doors at the presiden-
tial palace. Anti-corruption protesters have held daily demonstrations in the capital calling for the president to step down. O n F r i d a y, f o r m e r Vice-President Roxana Baldetti was arrested on corruption charges three months after she was forced to leave office. She is accused of taking part in the same bribery scheme. Nearly 30 other people have been detained, accused of taking millions of dollars from businessmen who paid bribes in order to avoid higher import duties. Presidential elections are being held in early September, but electoral law bars Mr Perez Molina from standing for another term. The elections are expected to go to a second round of voting, later in October.
Town Clerk Royston King said that citizens will provide leadership in the various areas of environmental awareness and education, environmental counselling and guidance, cleaning and waste disposal, composting and other forms of solid waste control. This information is ex-
pected to be filtered back to the local communities to encourage better environmental consciousness. Citizens who are interested in playing a part in this Corps will be distinctively recognised with badges, special t-shirts, and other identifiable materials. King advised that those citizens
interested in the initiative are welcomed to the office of the Town Clerk at City Hall to be registered. Registration commences Wednesday, August 25, 2015. The Town Clerk said his objective is to register at least 1,000 environmental leaders. He believes that with environmental advocates in
local communities and with the right sense of support, positive changes will overtake current negatives in the City. Register with the Georgetown Municipality to volunteer in the Green Georgetown Volunteer Corps, and make Georgetown a clean and green city.

Fraser-Pryce continues ... From Backpage junior and youth 400m champion Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas. Kineke Alexander of St Vincent and the Grenadines, who finished sixth in the opening heat in 52.24, didn’t advance to the semi-final round. “I did what my coach told me but I struggled a bit in the last 200m,” Jackson said. “Yesterday, it was a big kick off for me to see my teammates at 100m. I am so glad that Usain (Bolt) did it well.” Tyrone Smith of Ber-
muda was the only Caribbean qualifier in the Men’s Long Jump with 8.03 metres while Damar Forbes of Jamaica only managed 7.62m which wasn’t enough to carry through the next round. But in a surprise result, Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad & Tobago failed to advance in the Men’s Javelin Throw. The Trinidadian athlete managed only two legal throws of 75.16 metres with his best effort of 76.83. Walcott entered the championships as one of the
pre-event favourites with a personal and season best of 90.16m but has been battling an ankle injury. “I just went out there, tried to perform well but it was just a bad competition,” he said. No other explanation, just a bad competition. Of course, I expected better throws but I do not know what was going on.” Kimberly Williams had a season-best 14.45m but was fifth in the women’s triple jump won by Caterine Ibarguen 14.90. Shanieka Thomas, also of Jamaica finished 11th with a best effort of 14.08m.
Bangladesh in Chittagong last year. He follows Sachin Te n d u l k a r o f I n d i a , Ricky Ponting of Australia, Jacques Kallis of South Africa and Rahul Dravid of India in the alltime list of leading Test scorers. ICC chief executive David Richardson paid tribute to Sangakkara as “one of
cricket’s greatest-ever players and ambassadors.” “By scoring a total of 28 016 runs across all three formats, he puts himself in the higher echelons of players to ever grace the game. “Sangakkara will rightly go down as one of cricket’s greatest-ever players and ambassadors,” Richardson said in an ICC statement.

ture. “It was a surprise, I have to go and think about it and discuss with his Excellency (the President)” Sangakkara said. During the formal sendoff, the 37-year-old broke down as he thanked his parents for standing by him during his 15 years of cricket. “All the support and love they showed over the years, whether I played cricket or not, whether I did well or not, the only place I could go and feel safe was home. So thank you ‘amma’ (mother) and ‘apachchi’ (father),” Sangakkara said, fighting back tears, as fans cheered and clapped. He also praised Indian captain Virat Kohli and his team for their tough opposition during his farewell match which Sri Lanka lost by 278 runs yesterday, allowing the tourists to level 1-1 in the series. “Thank you for not giving any quarter,” he told the Indian team. “And thank you for really making it a privilege of mine to play against you,” he said. Sangakkara, the fifth highest run-getter in Test history, finished with 12 400 runs from 134 Tests at an average of 57.40. He scored 38 centuries, including a best of 319 against

Ashwin, Mishra wreck Sri Lanka to spoil Sangakkara's farewell party COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - India spoiled Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara's farewell party with off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin bowling the visitors to a serieslevelling 278-run victory in the second Test yesterday. Ashwin (5-42) and his spin colleague Amit Mishra (3-29) ran through the Sri Lankan batting order as the hosts, chasing 413 for an improbable victory, collapsed to 134 all out in their second innings. Resuming on 72-2, Sri Lanka lost skipper Angelo Mathews to the first ball of the day, a setback that completely unhinged them and they collapsed soon after to give Virat Kohli his first Test victory as India captain. "A commendable effort by the boys, coming together nicely after that kind of loss (at Galle), regrouping very quickly and putting a performance like this," Kohli said after the victory. "We were pumped up to get wickets and we got a perfect start. From there on, the bowlers realised it's time to squeeze in now and build up some really good pressure," he added. Sri Lanka's day begun in the worst possible fashion when India paceman Umesh Yadav struck with the first ball of the morning which Mathews (23) edged for stand-in wicketkeeper
Virat Kohli gestures after winning his first Test as captain in Colombo, yesterday.
Lokesh Rahul to take a diving, one-handed catch. Rahul was keeping in place of regular India stumper Wriddhiman Saha, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the series with a hamstring injury. Mishra struck the next blow, pulling off a classical leg-spinner's dismissal by bowling Dinesh Chandimal around his legs. Ashwin and Mishra maintained relentless pressure on the hosts to reduce them to 130-9 when rain brought a premature lunch, but the relief proved shortlived as the hosts folded soon after the break. "We did not play our best cricket," Mathews rued at the presentation ceremony. "More disappointing is we could not do it for Sanga,
who deserved to leave the field with a high and a win. We promise him we will play our best in the next game and win it for him." Rahul, who struck a century in the first innings, was adjudged man-of-the-match. Ashwin has been equally impressive and with 17 wickets from the first two Tests, he is likely to trouble Sri Lanka again in the third and final Test in Colombo starting on Friday. Sangakkara, who made 32 and 18 in his 134th and final Test, was given a rousing reception with the Indians shaking hands with him and the former captain being hoisted by his team mates for a round of the stadium as the crowd gave a standing ovation.

FIFA chief says he is ‘clean' amid corruption inquiry OUTGOING FIFA president Sepp Blatter has told the BBC he is "clean" and "there is no corruption in football" amid criminal investigations at world football's governing body. Blatter, president since 1998, will step down in February amid an inquiry into allegations of systematic bribery. The 79-year-old was elected for a fifth term in May but then stood down. "I did it because I wanted to protect FIFA," he said. "I can protect myself. I am strong enough." He added: "I know what I have done, what I have not done. "I have my conscience and I know I'm an honest man. I am clean. I am not a worried man." Two criminal investigations into alleged FIFA corruption are still ongoing. So far, 14 people have been indicted by the United States Justice department following claims that bribes and kickbacks of more than $150M (ÂŁ97M) were handed out over a 24-year period. A Swiss investigation is also looking into the bidding
process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, leading to speculation that Russia and Qatar could be stripped of football's flagship event and a re-vote ordered. But Blatter remains defiant and defensive of FIFA. "The institution is not corrupt," he said, adding; "There is no corruption in football, there is corruption with individuals, it is the people." In an exclusive interview with BBC sports news correspondent Richard Conway, Blatter also said he was not "morally responsible" for the likes of former FIFA executive Chuck Blazer, who admitted he accepted bribes in connection with South Africa as 2010 World Cup hosts. The 2010 World Cup was "the cleanest World Cup that has ever been done". "FIFA was the suffering party" but it would emerge positively after the "tsunami" of allegations that had hit it. He recognised "there were a lot of fans using the (media) devices and social media where they said 'kill
Sepp Blatter
Blatter'". But he said there were different opinions in Asia and Africa, adding: "I'm at least respected because I and FIFA have done a lot". UEFA president Michel Platini is the favourite to replace Blatter when he steps down next year. Asked if he would like to see the 60-year-old former France international take over, Blatter said: "Why not? "Don't ask the president who is elected to make a comment on the race for the presidency. I don't mind, it's the congress who will decide, not me." (BBC Sport)
Record fourth steeplechase crown for Kemboi BEIJING, China (Reuters) - Ezekiel Kemboi underlined his status as one of the great Kenyan athletes by capturing the world championship 3 000 metres steeplechase crown for a record fourth time yesterday. The 33-year-old seized the gold medal thanks to a devastating sub 57-second last-lap burst at the Bird's Nest Stadium. Kenya secured their first clean sweep in the event for eight years but the anticipated challenge from Evan Jager faded on the final lap as the American was unable to match the speed of the Africans and trailed home sixth. Kemboi, who clocked eight minutes 11.28 seconds, added the title to those he won in 2009, 2011 and 2013 and to the Olympic gold he landed in 2004 and 2012. Silver went to Conseslus Kipruto, who did much of the pacesetting and hung on
to finish in 8:12.38, while Brimin Kiprop came third in 8:12.54. Another Kenyan, 2015 world rankings leader Jairus Birech, was fourth in 8:12.62. "On the last lap nobody could follow me," said Kemboi as he confirmed he would race at the Rio Olympics next year. "I will be celebrating tonight with my team mates." The prospect of an athlete challenging the Kenyan monopoly in this event - 12 previous world champions were born in the African country - improved when Jager was runner-up at a Diamond League meeting in Paris last month. MODEST PACE However, the relatively modest early pace did not suit the rangy American yesterday. While Kipruto did much of the hard work up at the front, Kemboi hardly moved from the back of the lead-
ing quintet until the bell sounded for the final lap. Jager surged on to the shoulder of Kipruto but, down the back straight, Kemboi overtook all his rivals before producing one of his trademark victory dances after crossing the line. Kipruto said the Kenyan quartet had run as a team. "Our plan was to go for gold, silver, bronze," he explained. "I am happy I was able to assist my team, I sacrificed myself for the team." For Jager, 26, it was a case of going back to the drawing board. "Those guys are so freaking tough over the last lap, running extremely fast over barriers," he said. "It's something I haven't figured out yet. "There's a reason why the Kenyans have won every single steeplechase world championship they've competed in for the last 12, 13 years so it's really tough."

GSSF scores bull’s-eye with Archery Guyana launch THE long-time art of Archery is now a focus of the Guyana Sport Shooting Federation (GSSF), who officially launched Archery Guyana (AG) yesterday with an official ceremony at the Carifesta Sport Complex, Carifesta Avenue. Guyana, now a member of the World Archery Federation (FITA) following a unanimous decision at its Congress last month, has been moving apace to develop the sport with further inspiration coming from Colombian and World Archery Americas coach Mr Diego Torres. Torres was in Guyana to conduct a PVC Archery Development Seminar over the last week and was one of the driving forces behind the launch of (AG) During the launch, GSSF president Vidushi Persaud indicated that the initiative is a historic one locally, adding, “Our historical sentential attachment to archery has blossomed over the past week, into a real prospect of Guyana’s participation in the Olympics in the field of archery.” Coach Torres, who is also an Olympian, confessed his
love for the sport adding that the PVC programme was developed as a low-cost sport for persons of all ranks, noting, “Archery is about values, Archery is about friend. Archery is about fair play and I’m so happy because I’m finally here and the people are very interested.” Permanent Secretary (PS) Alfred King, who officially opened Archery Guyana following a successful couple of shots, echoed the sentiments of GSSF boss Persaud. The PS stated, “We always thought that outside of boxing that gave us that little glimmer of hope of competing on the international stage when we once got that bronze medal, that there might very well be an opportunity for us doing well or even better if we consider archery.” He called for the GSSF to utilise the momentum gained with the launch and push to decentralise the sport and have it among the indigenous communities. Meanwhile, Torres had members of the GSSF perform an exhibition shoot with their recently constructed PVC bows before he demonstrated his skill with his professional bow. (Stephan Sookram) Torres.

Ramdhani exits CAREBACO at quarter-finals stage THE CAREBACO (Caribbean Regional Badminton Confederation) International Under-19 Championship in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic came to an end for Guyanese Narayan Ramdhani in the quarter-finals on Saturday. In a long, tiring and frustrating three-set game against Angel Marinez Ulloa of the Dominican Republic, the Guyanese lost the first game 20-16 but came back strong in the second game, winning at 18-21. In the third game Narayan was in the lead at 20-16 and due to four wrong line calls in favour of the DR player by the DR line judges Narayan lost the game and match at 23-21. A report was made to the Chief Umpire and Tournament Director about the issue and an investigation was done resulting with the umpire being disciplined and prevented from umpiring for the rest of the tournament. The Under-19 CAREBACO Team tournament starts today with Guyana in Group B alongside Puerto Rico, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago. Group A consists of Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Suriname & Panama. The Team tournament will be a good warm-up for our local players to prepare for the CAREBACO Individual Championships starting August 27.
FIFA upholds decision following GFF appeal … GFF to seek legal advice on the way forward
THE Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has denied the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) appeal against the Disciplinary Committee’s ruling that no further action would be taken against the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation (SVGFF) for allegedly fielding an ineligible player during World Cup 2018 qualification matches. The world’s governing body for football cited its decision on technical and procedural grounds reiterating that Guyana was not “a party to the relevant proceedings before the FIFA Disciplinary
K I N G S TO N , J a m a i c a (CMC) – Jamaica’s Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller has congratulated Usain Bolt for his victory in the final of the 100 metres at the IAAF World Championships now under way in Beijing, China. Bolt endured a shaky start but powered back to overtake America’s Justin Gatlin on the line in a season-best 9.79 seconds, to remain the undisputed sprint champion of the world. The Jamaican Prime
Committee and would therefore not be eligible to appeal”. FIFA further added that an appeal was lodged against a letter issued on July 29 by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee and
not against a decision of the Committee. In responding to the protest filed by the GFF over the playing of Garvin James by the SVGFF on June 14, 2015 at the Guyana National Stadium, FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee ruled that “after careful examination of all the requested information and documentation, it was considered that no further intervention was necessary in such context”. The GFF on June 16 had requested FIFA’s investigation and adjudication on a possible violation of the FIFA rules by the SVGFF for fielding a player not in possession of a St Vincent
& the Grenadines passport during the World Cup Qualification match on June 14, 2015 at the Guyana National Stadium. Garvin James is the holder of British passport number 523204951. He is eligible to represent St Vincent and the Grenadines as per FIFA Statutes, but according to the Regulations governing the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, to do such, James would have had to be the holder of a Vincentian passport. The GFF in a release said that they will explore all options on how to proceed with the matter and is currently seeking legal guidance.
Minister said Bolt continues to inspire Jamaica and the world with his legendary performance on the track. “I salute Usain as a national brand ambassador extraordinaire, not only for taking the best of Jamaica to the world, but also for his superb representation of the best of athletics and sports in general,” she said. In a statement, the Prime Minister said all the athletes who have participated in Beijing so far have done Jamaica proud.
Prime Minister Simpson-Miller also had high praise for O’Dayne Richards, who won Jamaica’s first shot put medal at a World Championships after earning the bronze medal with a national record of 21.69 metres. “All Jamaicans applaud O’Dayne most heartily for his signal achievement as he establishes Jamaica’s athletic prowess in another area of the sport,” she noted. The Prime Minister noted that the latest medals for the
Jamaicans follow country woman Alia Atkinson’s gold medal performance in the 50m breaststroke at the recent FINA Swimming World Cup in Paris, France and her silver medal and national record achievement in the 50m .

Royals blow out Ravens; Pacesetters humble Raiders LINDEN’S Victory Valley Royals pulled off an upset, blow-out 70-49 points win over Ravens to clinch a semifinal berth in the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF)-organised Forbes Burnham Memorial Basketball Championship. Royals will now face Colts on Saturday, August 29, while Pacesetters, who made light work of Retrieve Raiders 79-49 in their quarter-finals, will come up against Half Mile Bulls. Basketball fans at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall were stunned – literally – as they watch Royals destroy the mighty Ravens - Guyana’s most dominant ‘ball club’. The usually high-powered offensive Ravens were humbled by the aggression and air-tight defence of the Royals and displayed their scoring ability. In fact, Ravens only trailed by five points (45-40) heading into the final period but Royals turned up the pressure, scoring 25 points and holding the Ravens to just nine points. Lawrence De Costa scored eight of his 17 points in the fourth quarter but Harold Adams was the star of the night and slammed in a game-high 22 points with support from Orlan Glasgow who netted 16 points. Ryan Stephney was Ravens’ top scorer with 13 points and normally dependable Ryan Gullen was held to ten points. Meanwhile, in the first of the night’s double-header, Trinity Grid Holding (TGH) Pacesetters showed why they are considered one of the most consistent basketball clubs in Guyana as they out-muscled the Linden team (Retrieve Raiders). Royston Siland led the way with 13 points and Jaleel Duke netted 12 for Pacesetters. Neil Marks was his usual self but was held to just 10 points.

FIFA Referees Assistance Bolt’s latest gold was his toughest, says coach Mills Programme opens today By Kayon Raynor
THE Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Referees Assistance Programme (RAP) will kick off today at the Racquet Centre in Georgetown, attracting 21 of Guyana’s top officials over the next five days (August 25-29). FIFA Referee Instructor Peter Prendergast and Alan Brown, FIFA Referee Fitness Instructor, will be conducting the RAP which includes simulations, fitness test, a written test and evaluation. The RAP is designed to help professionalise the en-
vironment in which referees work and develop by pairing referee development officers with instructors from around the world. The main goal of the RAP is to unify the way the laws of the game are applied throughout the world - a process that all the FIFA instructors agree is crucial. Instructors and other officials will be guided by the FIFA representatives through classroom sessions as well as practical exercises, since they allow the instructors to put what they have learned into action.

BEIJING, China (Reuters) - Usain Bolt’s coach, Glen Mills, hopes the Jamaican can recover from sore legs to complete a world championship sprint double for the third time in his career after what he rated as the athlete’s toughest win yet. Mills was elated after Bolt upset the form book to win his third 100m world title at the Bird’s Nest Stadium on Sunday with a season-best 9.79 seconds. The Jamaican ended a 28-race unbeaten run by his American rival, Justin Gatlin (9.80), while extending his head-to-head record to 7-1. “I think this is toughest victory he’s had,” Mills told Reuters. “For the past two years, he’s had significant challenges with his preparation plagued by intermittent injuries and unfitness and (being) unable to actually compete. “It was a very trying time and it took a lot of skill and work and determination for him to get (to) what he was able to achieve by defending his championship.” Bolt, who had struggled for form and fitness all season, stumbled his way through the semi-finals and got nowhere close to the times that Gatlin had been posting until he surged past the American over

It’s not the easy ones that show your character, it’s those that you can win when you are not supposed to win.” Mills disclosed that he and Bolt had decided to focus their
preparations on the 100m at the expense of the 200. The Jamaican will go for successive world championship sprint sweeps with the 200 metres final scheduled for Thursday, and his coach said they would assess their buildup to the half lap race round by round, starting today. “I know he was a bit sore coming out of the 100, which is understandable because the things he’s missing is the kind of competitive edge that allows you to go at maximum
speed,” Mills said. “So we’re going to see ... tomorrow will give us an indication of just how much he has recovered.” Bolt, the reigning Olympic champion and world record-holder, completed the world championship sprint double in Berlin (2009) and Moscow (2013). With his 100m triumph on Sunday, the Jamaican sprinter increased his career medal haul at the worlds to nine gold and two silver.

Fraser-Pryce continues dominance over 100 metres … Kirani James advances to 400m final
B
EIJING, China (CMC) – Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce made it another Jamaican night of celebrations as she retained the 100 metres title at the IAAF World Championships here yesterday. Fraser-Pryce, who followed Usain Bolt’s victory on Sunday night, was never challenged for the title and powered her way to 10.76 seconds and a third world championship gold medal. Dafne Schippers set a Dutch record of 10.81 for the silver and American Tori Bowie took the bronze in 10.86 with Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica finishing fourth in 10.91. The diminutive Jamaican plans to run faster. “I’m getting tired of 10.7s,” Fraser-Pryce said. “I just want to put a good race together and hopefully in the next race I get the time I’m working for. “I definitely think a 10.6 is there. Hopefully I will get it together. I just trust in God, work hard and focus on executing. I am happy and proud to defend my third world title in a row.”
Michelle-Lee Ahye (10.98) and Kelly-Ann Baptiste (11.01) of Trinidad & Tobago took the fifth and sixth positions respectively. Natasha Morrison of Jamaica (11.02) and Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare (11.02) held the back of the race. Earlier, Olympic champion Kirani James of Grenada advanced to the final of the Men’s 400m scheduled for tomorrow. James, who crossed the finish line in 44.16 to win the first semi-final heat, will attempt to regain the world title he first won in Daegu, South Korea in 2011. Luguelin Santos followed James as the only two qualifiers from the first semi-final and in the process a Dominican Republic record of 44.26. The world leader and African record-holder Isaac Makwala of Botswana advanced with the fastest time of 44.11. “I just tried to control the race and congrats to Santos (Luguelin) for running a nice little record,” James said. “I am just happy to get through to the final, get

Tearful Sangakkara offered diplomatic post COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara bid a tearful farewell to international cricket yesterday and was immediately offered the post of the island’s top envoy in Britain where he plays county cricket. Several thousand cheering fans, many of them
schoolchildren waving Sri Lankan flags, along with VIPs, turned out to bid farewell to Sangakkara on the final day of the second Test between his team and India in Colombo. “You have been a great honour to Sri Lanka,” Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said in a tele-
vised ceremony at P. Sara Oval for the formidable cricketer after the match. Sangakkara, who turns out for Surrey in English county cricket, did not directly address Sirisena’s announcement on the diplomatic post, later telling reporters he had been unprepared for the ges-
