British High Commissioner calls for passage of AML/CFT Bill - says reversal of “hard-won gains” can be avoided

By Vanessa Narine THE British High Commissioner, Andrew Ayre, at

the reception to commemorate the Queen’s birthday, Tuesday night, spotlighted the dangers of Guyana’s effective international blacklisting, with its referral to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and stressed that the reversal of Guyana’s “hard-won gains” can still be avoided.

He said, “Guyana is at a pivotal moment in its history.

The likely blacklisting of your country by the Finan-

cial Action Task Force may reverse many of the hardwon gains.

“It was avoidable, and

British High Commissioner Andrew Ayre might yet still be avoided, but to do so needs immediate action to adopt and implement the numerous recommendations that FATF requires of us all, including carrying out investigations into complex financial crime.”

According to him, the United Kingdom and its international partners have worked hard over the past 18 months to assist Guyana, including through offers of training and mentoring.

“I do not know why this work, which requires no new legislation, has not been done,” Ayre said.

The British High Commissioner made clear the

urgency for political parties to adopt, without further delay, the revised Anti-Money Laundering and the Countering of Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill.

“The time for playing politics was over months ago,” he stressed.

CFATF on May 28 pronounced on Guyana’s failure to address deficiencies in Guyana’s AML/CFT framework and through a missive to its members, counter-measures against Guyana were advised, effectively blacklisting the country on the international scene. The regional watchdog body also recommended Guyana to FATF for review.

Through a missive to its members, the counter-measures against Guyana that were advised by CFATF include: the requirement of enhanced due diligence measures; introducing enhanced reporting mechanisms or systematic reporting of financial transactions; refusing the establishment of subsidiaries or branches or representative offices in Guyana; and taking into account the fact that financial institutions from Guyana that do not have adequate AML/CFT systems and limit the business relationships or financial transactions with the country.

FATF’s next plenary meeting is slated for June 23 to 25, 2014 in Paris, France, at which time the international body is likely to put Guyana up for review by its International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG).

Speaking at Freedom House…

Rohee declares PPP blameless for delayed Local Gov’t Elections

By Vanessa Narine THE General Secretary, Mr. Clement Rohee has declared that his People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is not to blame for the much delayed local government elections.

Speaking at his Monday press conference in Freedom House on Robb Street, Georgetown, he demanded that critics be cognisant of the historical context surrounding the process, rather than continue to peddle a “blanket”position.

“This blanket position that the PPP has not held local government elections for all these years is false. It is false and that is a historical fact.”

Rohee pointed out that

and it is not because the PPP has maintained that no local government elections will be held. There is a history that is documented in every single newspaper and in the records of the Parliament.

“Before anyone concludes that these elections are overdue because it has not been held for so many years, without analysing why it has not been held and who is responsible, they have to understand the historical context. Unless we understand the context we are going to be barking up the wrong tree.”

The Home Affairs Minister said the ruling party is not opposed to calling elections, which will be called when the Government “sees it necessary” to do so.

“This blanket position that the PPP has not held local government elections for all these years is false.”

– PPP General-Secretary, Clement Rohee

it is a PPP Administration which was the first to push for the hosting of local government elections.

“The PPP is not responsible for not holding elections.

The PPP was the first to call for local government elections a couple years after we got into office in 1992. We did that, but a series of things were initiated, constitutional reform and so many other things that led to where we are today,” he said.

ABSOLUTELY QUINTESSENTIAL Rohee explained that it is absolutely quintessential for critics to “go back to the annals of history” to understand why it has taken local government elections such a long time to be held in Guyana.

He went on: “It is as if there was no history in relation to the sloth and the non-holding of the elections to the day. There is a reason

“The question is whether the situation is right,” Rohee insisted.

He underscored the fact that, while local government elections are important, the concerns of many Guyanese revolve around the “big ticket issue” such as the impacts of the non-passage of the critically important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill.

“People are concerned about local government elections, but they are more emphatically concerned about the big ticket issues…they ask if local government elections will solve the anti-money laundering and blacklisting issues,” he argued.

Last week, Rohee stated

that initiating the local government elections process is a “political judgement” call dependent on the mood of the Guyanese people.

TWO ELECTIONS This view was reiterated on Monday when he stated that there is a growing mood

General Secretary Mr. Clement Rohee in that direction for either of the two elections.

The National Assembly passed the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that those polls must be held on or before August 1, 2014.

The August date was put in an amendment to the Bill, proposed by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), while the House was in Committee. However, the President has not assented to the Bill.

Additionally, the General Secretary pointed out that the position of the party and the Government has been the same on the matter of calling local government elections.

“We have a coherent position on the timing of calling these elections,” Rohee insisted.

President Donald Ramotar, last Saturday, stated that his Administration is not opposed to calling local government elections but hinted that the commencement order for that, as well as general elections, could be based on

the impacts from the ruling of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

The Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), on May 28, pronounced on Guyana’s failure to address deficiencies in its Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework.

Through a missive to its members, CFATF effectively blacklisted this country on the international scene when it referred Guyana to the FATF. The Head of Govern-

ment, speaking during a press conference at State House, said: “I don’t know what will happen if the impact of this anti-money laundering bill hits home very, very hard on our economy and whether we might have to go back and have another mandate.”

He added that, as Head of State, he cannot close his eyes to the political reality that obtains as the current state of affairs.

Mr. Ramotar said: “I would prefer to go to Local Government Elections but I cannot shut my eyes to the

political reality that exists and make a bland promise that I would go to Local Government Elections tomorrow, as I would have done had we had the majority in the Parliament at this point in time and we would not have been in the position that we are in today.”

Local government elections were not held in Guyana since 1994. Prior to that, they were last conducted in 1970. Subsequent to 1994, the elections could not be conducted because of the coincidence with the general and regional elections of 1997.

Teen gunman in Oregon school shooting got weapons from home

Iraqi insurgents ‘seize new city’ (BBC News) ISLAMIST insurgents in Iraq have seized the city of Tikrit, their second major gain after capturing Mosul on Tuesday, security officials say.

Tikrit, the hometown of former leader Saddam Hussein, lies 150km (95 miles) north of the capital Baghdad.

Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki vowed to fight back against the jihadists and punish those in the security forces who fled offering little or no resistance.

The insurgents are from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).

ISIS, which is also known as ISIL, is an offshoot of al-Qaeda.

It controls considerable territory in eastern Syria and western and central Iraq, in a campaign to set up a Sunni militant enclave straddling the border.

There were also reports on Wednesday of fighting further south, in Samarra, 110km north of Baghdad.

Separately, at least 21 people were killed and 45 hurt by a suicide bomber at a Shia meeting in Baghdad, police said.

ter warned there would be “harsh retaliation” if any of its citizens were harmed.

The insurgents moved quickly south, entering the

One eyewitness told the BBC that gunmen had entered the city from four different directions and a police station had been set on fire.

Militiamen consolidate their hold on Tikrit ‘Do not give in’ As many as 500,000 people fled Mosul after the militants attacked the city.

There were heavy clashes reported in Tikrit, with dozens of insurgents attacking security forces near the headquarters of the Salaheddin provincial government in the city centre.

AFP news agency quoted police and witnesses as saying there was fighting at the northern entrance to Samarra.

Earlier Mr Maliki vowed to fight back against the militants. He has asked parliament to declare a state of emergency.

Gunmen kill eight, burn church in central Nigeria: security official Islamist Boko Haram rebels based in the remote northeast showed their reach in May by setting off bombs in Plateau state’s capital Jos, around 300 miles from their strongholds. They have killed thousands since starting a five-year-old campaign to carve out an Islamist state.

Plateau state has also seen thousands killed in violence between largely Christian Berom farmers and Muslim Fulani cattle herders over the past de-

(Reuters) - GUNMEN killed at least eight people and burned down a church as they charged through two villages in Nigeria’s central Plateau state hours before dawn on Wednesday, a security official said.

“Gunmen stormed the villages of Tanjol and Tashek ... and shot sporadically in the air, then killed eight people,” said Captain Iweha lkejichi, from the area’s joint task force combining army and police.

The attackers torched one church and several houses, he added.

Police spokesman Dominic Esin said nine people were killed and t w o c h u rc h e s b u r n e d down in the attacks.

(Reuters) - THE teenage gunman who killed a classmate at an Oregon high school on Tuesday was armed with a military-style rifle and a semiautomatic pistol obtained from his home and lacked any known connection to his victim, police said on Wednesday.

Police said an autopsy of the suspect, Jared Michael Padgett, 15, confirmed that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after exchanging fire with police inside Reynolds High School in Troutdale, a Portland suburb.

The shooting, which ended with Padgett’s body being found in a bathroom stall of the gymnasium building, marked the third outbreak of deadly gun violence to shake a U.S. high school or college campus in less than three weeks.

Troutdale Police Chief Scott Anderson declined at a news conference to offer any

explanation for what may have driven Padgett to walk into a boy’s locker room at the school and shoot a fellow freshman, 14-year-old Emilio Hoffman.

“We have not established any link between the student and shooter,” Anderson said.

“At this time it would be inappropriate to discuss a motive.”

But he credited a school gym teacher, Todd Rispler, with preventing further loss of life. Rispler was grazed by gunfire as he encountered Padgett but made his way to the school office to warn administrators of the attack and initiate a lockdown, Anderson said.

Anderson said Padgett opened fire with an AR15-style rifle and also was carrying a semiautomatic handgun that he did not use, as well as a large knife and nine loaded ammunition magazines with a capacity for several hundred rounds.

Car bomb kills up to four UN soldiers in northern Mali (Reuters) – AS MANY as four United Nations peacekeepers were killed when a car bomb exploded in the northern Malian town of Aguelhoc on Wednesday, U.N. and diplomatic sources said.

Two sources said that four Chadian U.N. peacekeepers had been killed, while another official said the dead included Malian troops deployed in the remote northern town.

There was no immediate comment from the U.N. mission, known as MINUSMA, and it was unclear who was behind the blast.

A French-led military intervention pushed them back last year, but Islamist fighters are blamed for continuing sporadic violence, including attacks on vehicles with improvised landmines.

The U.N. and Mali’s international partners are seeking to salvage a foundering northern peace process following a spate of renewed clashes between government forces and Tuareg rebels last month.

Yesterday, police from the St Andrew South Division said they received no report of the incident.

(Trinidad Guardian) BETWEEN 2005 to 2009, T&T’s imports of staples averaged 236,700 tonnes at a value of almost $700 million annually. This represents 29 per cent of the country’s total food import bill. “This level of vulnerability is highly unacceptable as it leaves our nation highly susceptible to changes in price of staples internationally,

which skyrockets our food inflation,” Food Production Minister Devant Maharaj said.

“Staples are very important to food and nutrition security throughout the world. Our food consumption patterns are based on dishes that encourage high consumption of wheat and value added products such as bread, roti and pastry,” he said. Maharaj said his

ministry, through a Staples Commodity Team led by Nigel Grimes, is developing a Strategic Industry Development Plan for the cassava industry.

This plan will focus strategic promotion of cassava to increase markets and demand for that staple given its historically low consumption and the insignificant trade in cassava related products in T&T.

The minister said an important activity in strategic planning is determining the true cost of production for various farm sizes so that recommendations can be made to ensure more viable and profitable production systems. He said that will be a key factor in determining the success and sustainability of cassava production for farmers and the whole industry. “It

is necessary to increase consumption of cassava by producing it at competitive points in relation to other substitute staples such as wheat, rice, and Irish potato,” Maharaj said.

He added that it is also important to determine, based on raw material costs, how to encourage creation of affordable value added products from cassava, such as bread,

Strategic plan for T&T’s cassava pastries and roti, with blends of cassava and wheat flour.” Maharaj said initiatives undertaken by his ministry have already had a significant impact on the production of staples. For cassava, yam and sweet potato there have been increases of 15.2 per cent , 52.2 per cent and 58.2 per cent respectively from 2012 to 2013.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday June 12, 2014

On inclusive governance GOVERNMENT comprises the Parliamentary, Legislative and Administrative arms of Guyana; and the PNC/APNU/AFC combo dominates the Parliament, despite the fact that, individually, they have minority representation in the National Assembly.

However, they have teamed up quite effectively to give themselves majority status in that body, but instead of crafting and driving initiatives to facilitate charting a new path to prosperity for their constituents, they have used this new dispensation (that confers on them overwhelming powers) to stymie and reverse social development and economic growth, attempting to reverse the developmental trajectory of the nation under the PPP/C Government, and describing the citizens negatively impacted by their ruthless actions as “collateral damage.”

Consequent upon the 1997 elections, Mrs. Janet Jagan became the Presidential Candidate of the PPP/C and won the elections, receiving a larger percentage of the votes than in the elections of 1992.

But, Minister Clement Rohee while eulogizing at her funeral said, “It was to be one of the most painful periods in her political life; and that of the Party… If the 1950s and 1960s had their difficulties for her and the

PPP, the 1997 to 1999 period was even more testing.”

He added that it was during that period that the vilest and wickedest forms of protest -- including public recourse to obeah, political manoeuvres and subterfuge -- were used to dislodge her from office, eventuating in the reduction of her term by two years.

In accordance with the CARICOM-brokered St. Lucia Statement of July 2, 1998 in the wake of another post-elections reign of terror by the PNC, Mrs. Jagan was forced into truncating her term of office to three years by a CARICOM that never once interceded to assist the PPP during years when PPP was “cheated, not defeated” through rigged elections and terrorism in the land.

However, they brokered terms, all advantageous to the PNC opposition when that party was raining terror in the country, and the country was literally ungovernable because of PNC strategies a la the X-13 Plan of yesteryears.

One of the terms was to establish a Constitution Reform Commission, and to provide for its membership terms of reference compatible with the CARICOM Agreement of January 17, 1988, and the St. Lucia Statement dated July 2, 1998, wherein there were to be adequate political, private sector, and social stakeholder representation;

and that body was adjured to report its recommendations to the Special Select Committee for transmission to the National Assembly.

The Herdmanston Accord that the PPP/C Government was forced to adhere to -- giving up most of its rights that other regional leaders would never have agreed to, just to keep peace in the nation, consequenced, as afore-mentioned, the cutting short of Mrs. Jagan’s term in office, and inter alia, the establishing of parliamentary committees which offers the opposition great say in the policies and programmes of the Government.

And while the chair on parliamentary committees is rotational, the most important parliamentary committee of all, the Public Accounts Committee, has from inception been chaired by a PNC Member of Parliament, with former PNC Chairman, the late Winston Murray doing the initial honours. Currently PNC/ APNU/AFC’s pointsman on economics, Carl Greenidge, is chairman of the Economic Services Committee; thus the two parliamentary committees on the nation’s fiscal affairs are being currently chaired by the opposition.

These two, and the Social Services Committee, are Standing Committees; but all the parliamentary committees are today dominated by the opposition, which jointly reconfigured the seat-

ing, which does not reflect the PPP/C’s majority status as per its showing at the 2011 polls.

This is the modus operandi of the joint opposition that is trying to enforce what they call “shared governance” on the constitutionally-elected government.

Even both positions of Speaker and DeputySpeaker were appropriated by the combined opposition, using their six-votes-oneseat majority as leverage -- and their real intentions can be adjudged by this -- to wrest, by force and subterfuge, all the powers vested in the Executive arm of Government.

The difference in ethics and trustworthiness, or lack thereof, in governance between the PPP/C and the Joint Opposition can be gauged by this, because even when the PPP/C had majority in Parliament, they allowed a sharing of the Speaker’s chair. And nowhere in the Commonwealth is the governing party relegated to no position of authority in the National Assembly. The Speaker’s chair was always held sacrosanct to governing parties.

So the Joint Opposition has great say in governing the country in a multiplicity of ways, through a menu of structures that guarantees them wide leverage to impose their will on the policies of the government.

However, their intra/extra

Guyana

parliamentary shenanigans and utterances have exposed their incapacity and incapability, at every level, to serve the nation to achieve the zenith of Guyana’s potential for social development and economic growth.

Thus, when General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Mr. Clement Rohee, averred that APNU, the coalition in which the People’s National Congress (PNC) has the majority representation, has no “moral right” to lecture the Ruling Party on inclusive governance, he is speaking from the strength of conviction, based on that combination’s actions and nasty, divisive rhetoric post-elections 2011, when they held it in their power to make real input into the nation’s developmental paradigm.

Rohee was quoted by the Chronicle as saying at one of the PPP’s weekly news conference: “Granger and the PNC (are in) no position, nor do they have the moral right, to lecture the PPP and the PPP/C Administration on the issue of

inclusive governance and participatory democracy, when they have consistently rejected all reasonable gestures made by the PPP for national reconciliation and a government of national unity.

“The PPP, during the PNC-engineered disturbances of the early 1960s, offered the PNC to share government on almost parity terms, but the PNC bluntly refused and teamed up with reactionary elements to bring down the PPP government.”

Despite President Donald Ramotar reaching out to work together for the good of the nation, the Opposition is bluntly refusing to cooperate, preferring instead to take this country once more down a retrograde anti-developmental path.

When one views the post-2011 elections charade that has made Guyana’s Parliament a laughing-stock, could anyone envisage a Cabinet shared by the PNC/APNU/ AFC and the PPP/C Government?

Here’s hoping that justice will prevail --in the tragic loss of this Friendhip mother’s life SHELLY Persaud died tragically, reportedly at the hands of her reputed husband, leaving three young girl-children behind to fend for themselves.

But the irony is that her husband is reportedly in police custody, and will be released after 72 hours.

Latest report received is that he admitted that he was the perpetrator.

Now most citizens are wondering if the police will let him go after 72 hours in custody to gather more evidence.

Then, once the evidence is stacked against him, he

will plead to lesser count of manslaughter, receive his four-year sentence and be out, perhaps to kill another woman.

I am not a praying person, but I do pray that our Lady DPP don’t make a deal with this killer.

This is the time to set

the agenda for would-be women killers: That once you murder and you are found guilty, you will never see the light of day amongst civil society as long as you shall live. You will spend the rest of your natural life behind bars.

The law must see fit to

take his freedom and liberty away from him for life, since he took her life away; and took a mother away from her three young daughters. Hopefully, he didn’t destroy the future of these three young girl children, and they will one day recover from this grievous loss.

Simply put, this lady had all the reason in the world to live; and lawmakers must see what others are seeing through the photograph of

her children.

Those of you who want to see justice done must use your resources in the event this killer hires a highpriced lawyer who will run rings around incompetent prosecutors. Get the best to represent this family in order for real justice to prevail. Please ensure that he spends the rest of his life behind bars.

CFATF, FATF requirements scoffed at…

APNU’s position on AML/CFT Bill amounts to ‘anarchy’

By Vanessa Narine THE Parliamentary Special Select Committee, reviewing the AntiMoney Laundering and the Countering of Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill, met last evening and its Chair, Gail Teixiera, contends that the new position advanced by the main Opposition is anarchistic.

In an interview with the Guyana Chronicle, she said that while the Alliance For Change (AFC) absented itself from the meeting, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Government are now tangled in disagreements over two main issues – the necessity to comply with international regulations and the powers of the President and Ministers in the local AML/CFT framework.

“The positions of the APNU are anarchistic,” she posited.

Last night the Select Committee, which has been reviewing the AML/CFT Bill for more than 12 months now, reviewed counter-proposals to APNU’s amendments to the principal AML/CFT Act, which were offered by the Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, in the interest of ensuring that the amendments made are CFATF-compliant, and reaching a compromise.

Teixiera stated that these counter-amendments were rejected by the main Opposition.

She said: “In an effort to find a compromised posi-

tion, made amendments and went further to refine these counter-amendments, after CFATF commented on them.

According to the Com-

What the APNU is saying is that these bodies can make mistakes,” Teixiera said.

The Committee Chair noted that “scoffing at

“The positions of the APNU are anarchistic.” Select Committee Chair, Gail Teixiera mittee Chair, the APNU has rejected the possibility of the President or any Government Minister having powers vested in their offices in relation to the regulation of the AML/CFT framework in Guyana.

“The APNU will not budge. …this is a fundamental issue over how the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is established. The Opposition wants the appointments to be done through Parliament; that is the appointments for the head and deputy head of the FIU, the body’s lawyer and accountant. It is a fundamental difference,” Teixiera said.

SCOFFED AT Additionally, she stated that APNU has scoffed at the necessity of Guyana meeting the requirements set by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) and, by extension, the Financial Action Task Force.

“APNU has essentially scoffed at the issue of compliance with CFATF and FATF. They are not willing to accept that Guyana has to be brought into compliance with CFATF, FATF requirements.

CFATF and FATF” and the role these bodies play in guarding and protecting the global financial system, as well as regulating it, is an “anarchistic”position.

She said: “Guyana is part of the global economy and must be part of international regulatory system. This is cavalier and anarchistic approach to the regulations of the global economy. It is very disturbing.”

According to her, APNU is maintaining its demands, which reflect conditional support for the passage of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill.

APNU has proposed three amendments, but given that the APNU’s proposals were viewed as problematic, hence the offer of counter-proposals by the Attorney-General.

Also the party is calling for the President to be given his assent to several Bills passed in the National Assembly – Bills the Head of State has described as clashing with the Constitution.

“Clearly the Opposition’s position is all or nothing…It is clear that we have reached an impasse and at this point

we don’t know what will be the next step,” Teixiera said.

RESOLUTION IMPOSSIBLE The Attorney-General also commented on the outcome of last night’s meeting and contends that the Committee seems to have reached a stage where a resolution is impossible.

He said: “I have tried my best to arrive at a compromise by putting forward counter-amendments to their proposals, which were designed to remove from their

By Leroy Smith TODAY the Ministry of Education will officially release the results of the National Grade Six Assessment.

Last evening, the Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that more than 33 schools from the outlying areas have done better than they did last year at the assessment.

This publication was informed by a source close to the Ministry of Education that the schools have recorded a 25 percent increase in students’ performance at the examinations.

The Ministry’s records have proven that more students in schools outside of Georgetown have been able to secure more than 50 percent of the marks required at the assessment.

Contacted last evening for comment Education Minister Priya Manickchand would not confirm nor deny the information. The Minister said that any improvement is commendable, pointing to the hard work usually put in by teachers and some committed parents.

This year the National Grade Six Assessment results are being released thirteen days ahead of schedule

“We saw a clear and egre-

gious demonstration of that approach when they voted down an amendment to the Customs Act, which sought to bring our Customs laws in conformity with the revised Treaty of Chaguramas, thereby directly causing a judgment to be awarded against the State of Guyana in the sum of US$6M.” Nandlall noted that this type of approach breeds uncertainty as it relates to moving forward, not only on the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill, but generally in relation to Guyana’s international obligations.

He said: “The second shocking revelation from the Opposition was their unconditional insistence that neither the President, nor any Minister, should play any role in the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill, in respect of appointments or any role whatsoever.

“In fact, the manner in which they articulated this position lent itself to the inference that such a position is not limited to the AML/ CFT Bill, but extends to all Bills in the future. This is an outrageous position.

“The cumulative effect of the two positions of the main Opposition, which were advocated yesterday, amounts to anarchy under our current Governmental and Constitutional structures, where the Executive Government is constitutionally mandated to perform certain functions.”

The Parliamentary Special Select Committee was adjourned indefinitely.

Speeding motorist kills three on Corentyne highway THREE persons were killed and two were critical when they were struck by a speeding motor vehicle on the Corentyne Coast last evening.

Dead are Latoya Bagot, 19; Juanita Bagot, 17; and Sharmaine Cort, three, all of Phillipi Village.

Those critical are Elroy Parks, 28, of Cromarty Village and Matthew Mc-

Bean, 19, of No. 35 Village.

Reports say that the vehicle struck Park and then drove on to strike the two Bagot girls and Sharmaine Cort, as they came out of a shop where they had gone to buy bread.

Then it drove on to hit Matthew McBean.

The driver is in police custody.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana…

Is PNC/APNU genuinely committed to shared governance?

OLD Kai experienced a slight rise in blood pressure after reading that the PNC is now accusing the People’s Progressive Party of being ‘unreliable and dishonest’ on the question of shared Governance and achieving National Unity. Clearly, the PNC leadership is not living in the same world as other Guyanese.

The nation is well aware of the historic efforts by the PPP to forge national unity; after all, that was the principle it was founded on, through the National Patriotic Front, which was rejected by the PNC dictatorship at the time.

But Old Kai will not focus on that period, least he be accused of reverting to the ‘past,’ a common excuse to deflect exposure by opposition elements. Rather, I will focus on the PNC post-1992.

In May 1996, the PPP/C had cause to accuse the PNC of reneging on an agreement for the rotation of the mayorship of the Capital City between the three parties represented at the M&CC. The PNC, in response, denied the existence of any such agreement, only for Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon to disclose that the meetings were “…between himself and representatives of the PNC, including its Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm Parris, Councillor Ranwell Jordan, and other representatives,” and were held at the Office of the President, when various elements of the arrangement were worked out.

The PNC had based their denial of such an agreement on the fact that there was ‘no written agreement’; but Dr. Luncheon had pointed out that the discussion was held in an atmosphere of ‘trust.’ The media had reported then, that when contacted for a response to Dr. Luncheon’s disclosure, Parris said, “No comment.”

A few years later, the very Mr. Parris was brutally attacked inside Congress Place because he had recognised the elections results, where the PPP/C again emerged victorious.

Then there are other instances where the PNC/R reneged on agreements with the PPP/C, such as support for nominees on Regional Democratic Councils, etc.

Then recently, no less a person than Alexi Ramotar had cause to point out during a discussion forum an instance where former President, Bharrat Jagdeo, had acceded to a request by the PNC/R to postpone Local Government elections, even though the PPP/C was ready. The young Ramotar had lamented that, “In retrospect, I think Mr. Jag-

deo made a mistake there. Unfortunately, what happened in the 2011 elections, was that there was a change in the dispensation, and the now Opposition Party made massive changes to the agreement between the PPP and PNC. If you go back to the agreement between the PPP and PNC, you can have Local Government Elections tomorrow.”

Ramotar suggested that the former President should not have acceded to such a request from the PNC/R, but Old Kai would like to think this was yet another effort by the PPP/C Government to reach out to the PNC/R to build a climate of compromise and trust.

How can we forget that no less a person than Opposition Leader David Granger, Presidential Candidate of the PNC/R and their front group, APNU, initially agreeing with the government on electricity tariff increases in Linden to gradually bring it up to par with other parts of the country; only for him to renege on the agreement, and deny any such involvement, even though Prime Minister Samuel Hinds disclosed what actually transpired during an address in the National Assembly.

These are just but a few significant instances where the PNC and its aliases have demonstrated that they are ‘unreliable and dishonest.’ It is against this backdrop that the People’s Progressive Party recently pointed out that the onus is on the PNC-APNU to demonstrate their commitment to shared governance and national unity after a long list of incidents pointing to the contrary.

But when one takes into consideration a Stabroek News article on April 26, 2014 headlined “PNCR’s prime motivation is to regain reins of government – Williams,” which focused on comments by the Party’s Chairman and APNU Executive Basil Williams, it is easy to understand why their spokesperson, Joseph Harmon and the PNC/R would both rush to attack any initiative which would call upon them to demonstrate their commitment to the ideals they promote of shared governance and national unity.

Let us also not be fooled, as this is not the first such effort by the PPP to encourage the PNC/R to demonstrate their commitment to such ideals, as in 2011 in the leadup to the last elections, during an interview our current leader, President Donald Ramotar, on the issue of ‘trust’ was quoted as saying,“… in 2003, we came out with a proposal; it was presented to the public by President Jagdeo in the presence of myself and Prime Minister Sam Hinds, in which we said we were not closing the door to any kind of

Commentary...

PPP’s main agenda has always been to unite the nation into a cohesive construct

By David DeGroot

THE honest truth about British Guiana/Guyana politics is that we were indisputably united as one people under the leadership of Cheddi Jagan and his People’s Progressive Party of the early nineteen fifties.

The results of the 1953 National General Elections demonstrated quite unambiguously how unified were the people when they elected, by an overwhelming majority, the PPP candidates, which included Forbes Burnham, Jessie Burnham, Jane Phillips Gay, Ashton Chase, Sydney King, Fred Bowman and many other comrades; who comprised the PPP alongside Dr. Cheddi Jagan himself, Janet Jagan, Latchman Singh, Jainarine Singh, Mohamed Khan, Clinton Wong and other working class Guianese.

The direct answer to the Stabroek News editorial

of May 30, 2014 “Time to Sing a New Song”, in which it stated “...that enough is enough and that it is finally time to achieve true independence and national unity” is comprehensively misleading and factually dishonest in recounting our political history, for all of us who lived through those years, as well as the recorded history will testify that the British and American administrations together deliberately set about to destroy the unity of the people and engineered the tragic split of Cheddi Jagan’s PPP. They succeeded in dividing Jagan and Burnham, thereby acting as midwife to the birth of the PNC. Since then, history will again record that Cheddi worked tirelessly to rebuild the unity of the people. He was on a fervent mission, as can be gleaned from his letter to Burnham in 1962; wherein his opening two paragraphs read thus: “We have both, you and I, publicly expressed the view that

power-sharing, but we believed that we have to build trust in the society; that you can’t work within the executive arm of the government unless we trust each other.”

Again, this effort was being made by the People’s Progressive Party since 2003, over a decade ago, when it enjoyed a majority in the National Assembly. But, as has become customary, the PNC/R rejected any effort to build an atmosphere of ‘trust’ with the PPP/C. It was the PPP/C that, while in the majority, had placed the opposition in several critical positions, including ensuring they permanently chaired the Public Accounts Committee responsible for overseeing and scrutinising all government expenditure. It was the PPP/C which, while in the majority, always ensured that the Deputy Speakership position always went to a member of the Opposition.

These were all efforts to enhance transparency and accountability, but equally important was building ‘trust’ with the opposition.

Based on this reality, it is easy to see why the call once again by the PPP to promote an environment for shared governance would be described by the PNC/R as “laughable and unworkable”, a “non-approach” and “setting up the conditions for there to be no such conversation whatsoever.”

What is so “laughable and unworkable” for the opposition to support the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering legislation which, by our non-compliance thus far, is affecting the entire country?

In concluding, those who are serious about gauging the commitment of the PNC/R/APNU towards shared governance and national unity simply have to assess their reaction towards the suggestions of the People’s Progressive Party. It was most aggressive; an all-out attack on the PPP, the General Secretary and the President. Were they really serious in achieving these ideals, one would reasonably expect that their response would have been mature and measured; looking at areas where the suggestions of the Ruling Party had merit, and committing to working at achieving agreement in areas where there was disagreement.

Launching a verbal attack on the PPP is not how one builds ‘trust,’ but rather ‘mistrust.’ Sadly, this is yet another clear example of where the PNC/R/APNU stands on the issue of Shared Governance and National Unity. the divisions which exist among the working people of Guyana are detrimental to national progress and the development of a Socialist Society. Because of this, and in order to lay the basis for National Unity and a unified effort to solve the country’s economic problems, my Party has always advocated a coalition government of the People’s Progressive Party and the People’s National Congress.

My Party has always deplored the damage done to the united mass movement by the division of our people and the dissipation of our energies in inter-party struggle. I would like to assume that you and your David DeGroot party also share this feeling. If I am correct in my assumption then this basis for national unity can be developed and built on.”

Alas! He died without fulfilling his mission through no fault of his, but solely because Burnham spurned all of his outreaches to reunite the people; but it should be emphasised that the effort to again have a united working class is still one of the initiatives of the current PPP.

Special Report on the Rodney Commission of Inquiry by Shaun Michael Samaroo

PNC motives towards Rodney – Attorney Commission suspect General says WHY the People’s National Congress (PNC) refuses to offer its full cooperation to the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry remains a mystery, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall says.

Nandlall holds responsibility, on behalf of the Government of Guyana, for ensuring that the Commission achieves its mandate of reporting on the circumstances, events and national condition in Guyana that caused the political assassination of leader of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), Dr. Walter Rodney, in a mysterious bomb blast on June 13, 1980.

President Donald Ramotar convened the Commission of Inquiry in answer to a national and international campaign, lasting 34 years, for Guyana to hold an Inquiry into Dr. Rodney’s assassination.

Dr. Rodney’s widow, Patricia Rodney, and the three Rodney children, have been in the forefront crying out for an inquiry, for decades. Dr. Rodney’s brothers, Edward and Donald, have also been asking for an inquiry, along with a host of international academics and Caribbean political leaders.

President Ramotar convened the inquiry because the Government of Guyana chose to answer this decades-old international outcry for Justice for Dr. Rodney’s brutal murder, a State official said.

The Rodney assassination ranks as the worst political assassination in the history of the English-speaking Caribbean, with only Maurice Bishop’s demise in Grenada of equal

Dr. Walter Rodney

brutality. The Grenada Government long ago investigated that dark era of its own history.

But Guyana refused to investigate its own days of political terror, and for decades allowed the deep wound to become a nasty festering sore on the body politic.

Now, citizens in the Diaspora and nationally pay keen attention to the gory details of dark conspiracies, political intrigues and suspicion, distrust and political vengeance that Guyanese saw unleashed on the nation in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

In an exclusive interview for this report, Minister Nandlall said he finds it “strange and disturbing” that the PNC refuses to participate in probing the socio-political state of

“This Government is serious about getting things done. President Ramotar has shown that he is active and he takes decisive leadership. Despite not having all the resources as we would like, the Government is working to lift the Guyanese nation to the pinnacle of its potential. This is the simple reason why President Ramotar convened the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry”– AG Anil Nandlall

President Donald Ramotar

the Guyanese society during its Government, in an effort “to avoid that sort of sordid brutality of Guyanese citizens ever happening in Guyana again”.

Commentators on behalf of the PNC have said publicly that the political party refuses to participate in the Commission’s probe because the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) set up the Commission to garner political mileage.

Nandlall denounced this, saying that “all the Government of Guyana is doing here is seeking justice for Dr. Rodney’s family. The PNC is not even an Opposition party in Parliament. Why would the PPP/C want to set up this Commission to gain cheap political points over the PNC? The PPP/C sees its main political Opposition as the Party that is constituted under the grouping A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). Brigadier David Granger happens to be leader of APNU and of the PNC today. But nowhere in the Government of Guyana’s work relating to the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry has anyone said anything about APNU. If the Government wanted to attack the Opposition, why hasn’t it said anything about APNU? In fact, APNU never comes up in relation to the Commission of Inquiry. The PNC’s name comes up.

And where is the PNC? It is not around as an Opposition in Parliament. The PPP/C and the Government have nothing to do with the PNC. We see APNU as the main Opposition”.

Nandlall said that the Commission benefits the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), “more than any political party, because the WPA is finally seeing its story told on the international stage, and the WPA is finally getting some justice for the terrible sacrifices its leaders paid fighting for their nation, Guyana.

This is not about the PPP/C at all. Rather, it’s more for the WPA, as everyone can see from the Commission’s work so far”.

Nandlall claimed that the PNC “owes it to the Guyanese people to apologise for its role in causing a socio-economic collapse in their country over the 1970’s and 1980’s.

The PNC would do well to participate in the

Commission’s probe, fully, and to offer the Guyanese people a mea culpa, a cleansing of its soul. How could this Party now say that in probing a period of our history, which resulted in the political assassination of one of the most outstanding Guyanese scholars, who was recognised and admired all over the world, that the Government of Guyana is carrying out a political act? The Commission’s work is justice, not politics. As Minister of Legal Affairs, I owe it to the Guyanese nation to get these things done”.

Under Nandlall’s tenure at the Ministry of Legal Affairs, President Donald Ramotar has accomplished the historic feat of convening the Commission of Inquiry into Dr. Rodney’s death. In addition, President Ramotar has also appointed an Ombudsman, a position that had remained vacant for over a decade.

“This Government is serious about getting things done. President Ramotar has shown that he is active and he takes decisive leadership. Despite not having all the resources as we would like, the Government is working to lift the Guyanese nation to the pinnacle of its potential. This is the simple reason why President Ramotar convened the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry,” Nandlall said.

Cultivating consensus and cooperation in his quest to construct a well-developed Guyana caused President Ramotar to convene the Commission of Inquiry, Nandlall said, noting that, “not only are we seeing a healing process evolving out of the Commission’s probe so far, as with Joseph Hamilton’s testimony and apology to Guyanese from the witness box, but also Guyanese are seeing the dynamic role the WPA played in the socio-political arena on the national stage. The historical story of the WPA is finally being told, and what does the PPP/C gain politically from that? Nothing.

This is about us working together as Guyanese to heal our divides, admit our mistakes, and work together to achieve national development. The Walter Rodney Commission is already starting to see this happen, and, sadly, the PNC refuses to participate in such a noble cause”.

Nandlall also said that in dismissing the Commission as a PPP/C political ploy, “which may really just be their excuse to cover up the PNC’s own sinister political plots that caused Dr. Rodney’s death”, the PNC “is insulting the ethical and moral integrity of the three distinguished members of the Commission. Chairman of the Commission, Sir Richard Cheltenham, along with his fellow Commissioners, the outstanding Seenath Jairam of Trinidad and Tobago, and the brilliant Jacqueline Samuel-Brown of Jamaica, are eminently qualified as impartial and ethical Jurists. They are held throughout the Caribbean, and internationally, with the highest regard for their integrity and high judicial ethics. For the PNC to question the integrity of this Commission, and to claim it’s a political ploy of the PPP/C, is not only disingenuous as an excuse to opt out of probing its own political sins, but also an awful

insult to President Ramotar and his integrity of leadership, and a grave disservice to the distinguished Commissioners”.

Nandlall said, “Guyanese must openly talk about these things. President Ramotar fosters an open society, where we see in-

Attorney General Anil Nandlall

dependent media operate with no fear or intimidation. That’s the kind of society the PPP/C Government is constructing for our Guyanese citizens. President Ramotar sees it fit to convene a Commission of Inquiry so the family of Dr. Rodney, the Guyanese nation, the WPA, and the international community can find out how and why this horrible crime happened in Guyana. That’s the simple reason why the Commission is probing the killing of Dr. Rodney”.

Attorney-at-Law and Member of Parliament, Basil Williams appears as Counsel at the Commission, and told the Commission that he represents the interests of the PNC. Williams has been leading cross examination of witnesses appearing at the Commission, and intervened during the testimony of ex-Army Chief Norman McLean to make points in favour of the witness.

Efforts will be made to interview Williams and the PNC leadership to respond to these comments of Attorney General Nandlall, and to secure definitive answers to ongoing questions about the Party’s non-participation in the probe of the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, which resumes hearings on June 23 next.

Guyanese across the world show deep interest in the ongoing Rodney probe, and the PNC’s participation would provide the nation with crucial answers as to why Guyana had descended to such a poor socio-political state that one of its top political leaders, the populist intellectual Dr. Rodney, was killed in a bomb blast on the streets of Georgetown on that dark night of June 13, 1980.

Ministry of Education staff are seen donating blood

Staff of the Ministry of Education taking part in blood testing

Education Ministry offers range of health services at healthy workplace exercise

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally

THE Ministry of Education's Healthy Workplace Programme, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, offered a range of health services to employees yesterday at the Ministry of Education, 26 Brickdam, Georgetown.

The exercise which got started at 09:00 hrs provided health services such as: blood pressure testing, blood glucose testing and body mass index testing; also information on sexual and reproductive health, substance abuse, and HIV counselling and testing.

Employees expressed their appreciation for the initiative.

Because of their work schedule, it is difficult for them to attend a health facility to conduct these similar tests, and to obtain other information. All health services sessions are to be conducted by medical personnel from the Ministry of Health, so Education staff can rest assured that the highest quality of service will be provided.

Meanwhile, a representative of the Education Ministry said that they have started aerobics classes for both men and women at the Ministry of Education Sports ground on Carifesta Avenue. The ministry is also in the process of putting in a gym at the location to promote a healthy lifestyle among staff.

The Healthy Workplace Programme aims to promote early detection of chronic non-communicable (NCD) diseases, such as auto-immune diseases, heart disease, stroke, many cancers, asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and cataracts.

Some chronic diseases of long duration, such as HIV/ AIDS, are also targeted and this will be facilitated by counseling and testing.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports NCDs to be by far the leading cause of death in the world, representing over 60% of all deaths. Every year, at least 5 million people die because of tobacco use and about 2.8 million die from being overweight. High cholesterol accounts for roughly 2.6 million deaths, and 7.5 million die because of high blood pressure.

The workplace programme is expected to be held on a monthly basis at the various offices of the Ministry of Education. Services will be free of cost.

At Berbice Assizes…

Convicted rapist jailed for 12 years JUSTICE Brassington Reynolds, on Tuesday, sentenced convicted rapist, Beesham Gopaul called Thakoor to twelve years imprisonment.

The penalty was imposed at the Berbice Assizes after a probation report and a plea in mitigation were presented to the court.

The judge noted that the act of rape robs one of their dignity and castigated the prisoner for violating the victim whom he knew from his childhood.

For the sentencing, the judge started at 20 years but deducted eight for the non-commissioning of physically violent offences, family circumstances and trial attendance.

In her report, Senior Probation Officer, Voonashwarie Gopal said the convict is the

only child for his parents who died while he was three years old.

Consequently, he left school at eight years of age and commenced working as a labourer with his brother-inlaw in the latter’s rice field.

HOT TEMPERED However, while his relatives have described him as a quiet person, neighours said he is hot tempered and has had several brushes with the law.

A report obtained from the police revealed that the convict faced two charges of break and enter and simple larceny which were instituted at Springlands Station, Corentyne, also in Berbice.

Defence counsel, Carolyn Artiga had suggested rehabilitation through counselling and other skills training,

which will enable the prisoner to make a meaningful contribution to society.

Earlier, being led by State Prosecutor, Renita Singh, the married teenager recalled that it was about 13:30hrs she was in a hammock watching television whilst breastfeeding her three months old baby when she was attacked, on June 24, 2008, at Number 73 Village, Corentyne.

In tears, she recounted to the jury how she felt something like a metal to the front of her neck before hearing someone, using expletives, say: “Don’t move or else I will kill you and the baby.”

The person then instructed her to leave the baby in the hammock and get up.

After complying with the instruction, she was taken to her kitchen where a knife was placed to her neck and it was

then that she realised the previous object was a metal file.

The attacker then demanded all the gold and money and, under duress, took her to the bedroom where, from the wardrobe he collected, two gold chains, four gold bands, a pair of gold bangles, ten gold rings, three pairs gold earrings as well as $10,000 cash, making a total loss of $265,000.

The virtual complainant related that, during the ordeal, her hands were tied behind her back with her baby’s napkin and ordered to lie on the bed and she complied.

After her underwear had been removed, she saw it was the accused whom she knew and had known for ten years previously.

SEXUAL ENCOUNTER She said the man re-

mained armed with the knife and stood at the side of her matrimonial bed, prior to inserting his penis into her vagina for the sexual encounter that lasted about ten minutes.

After putting back on his clothes which he had taken off, the woman said the rapist told her to remain in the room and threatened to kill the baby if she shouted.

The victim said, as the rapist exited her bedroom, he picked up her $30,000 cellular phone and took it with him.

The mother of two told the court that she remained motionless for about ten minutes before picking up her baby and hurrying off to her mother ’s home a few doors away, where she related what had happened.

Accompanied by her mother and husband they

went to Springlands Police Station where the crime was reported and a subsequent medical examination was conducted by a doctor at the Skeldon Public Hospital.

In response to defence counsel, Artiga, the witness said she opted to tell her mother and not her neighbour although the latter lived closer.

The neighbour lived in front of her three bedroom, one-flat building, which was, at the time, surrounded by bushes.

After the report was made, she recalled that just over an hour later, the police arrested the accused, who was still dressed in a blue and green stripe shirt, a green hat, a pair of black pants and a similar colour boots.

Guyana & SVG discuss initiative to market common tourism package

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally

TOURISM Minister (ag) Irfaan Ali and his counterpart from St Vincent and The Grenadines (SVG), Cecil McKie, yesterday held discussions on formalising a joint initiative to

market a common tourism package for both sister Caricom countries.

Both ministers concurred that combining the two products would make both destinations more competitive and appealing on the international market, since the

Thursday, June 12, 2014 - 14:30 Friday, June 13, 2014 - 05:00 Saturday, June 14, 2014 - 05:30

two countries share similar features in most aspects. St. Vincent and The Grenadines (SVG) is known for its lush tropical rainforest which is full of eco-adventures; and its idyllic beaches, coral reefs and turquoise lagoons are a tropical paradise for yachting, scuba diving, enjoying nature, and relaxing in luxurious hideaways.

Guyana is a fantastic eco and nature tourism destination which boasts an impressively fascinating combination of pristine Amazonian rainforests, immense waterfalls, and amazing flora and exotic fauna blended with a vibrant indigenous culture that is rich in heritage.

Each country is in the process of improving its international airport. Whilst Guyana is implementing an absolutely essential upgrade of its facilities, SVG is completing a new international airport.

Tourism Minister of St Vincent & The Grenadines, Cecil Mckie, in discussion with Tourism Minister (ag) Irfaan Ali and José María Fernández López de Turiso, Ambassador of Spain to Trinidad and Tobago

Ministers Ali and McKie spoke of the immense potential these airport facilities will fulfill for the

two countries. In lauding Guyana’s recent successes in this area, McKie was especially delighted at the possibility of having sim-

ilar arrangements with COPA on completion of SVG’s new airport. COPA is set to start operation in Guyana in July 2014.

F Division Police and CPG officials paint traffic signs in Mongrippa Hill community of Bartica

By Michel Outridge TRAFFIC signs between Fourth and Sixth Avenues in the Mongrippa Hill community of Bartica, Region 7, were painted by members of the F Division Community Policing Group last Sunday to guide oncoming northern-bound traffic

on Fourth Avenue to stop before approaching the Sixth Avenue junction, and western-bound traffic on Sixth Avenue to stop at the Fourth Avenue junction.

This particular area is located on a hill, making it a necessity to have these signs there to aid traffic guidance.

The stop signs guiding

northern- and southern-bound traffic between Fourth and Fifth avenues were also repainted.

The ‘F’ One Division Community Policing Chairman, Mr. Edward Persaud, and CPG member, Mr. Darren Husbands, together with Corporal Forde and two others of the Bartica Police

Station Traffic Department undertook the task of painting the traffic signs.

The prevailing rainy conditions limited the accomplishment of this project, but a decision has been taken to continue painting other areas identified around Bartica until the desired result is achieved.

FIFA games...

NCN sends strong warning against illegal broadcast

NATIONAL Communications Network (NCN) has sent a very strong warning to any company, sports bar, entertainment centre and others that, should they be caught engaging in unauthorised broadcasting of the FIFA Games, at any point during the tournament, sanctions will be very harsh.

Speaking to the Guyana Chronicle yesterday, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

of the company, Ms. Molly Hassan, explained that the millions which the company spent to secure the exclusive rights for the game have to be recovered and, if persons broadcast the games without permission, it would hamper their efforts to recover the capital.

She admitted, however, that the company has already begun seeing returns from the investments and there continues to be much

interest by advertisers to have the games associated with their names.

Hassan said NCN has persons around the country monitoring the games and any evidence that they are being aired unauthorised will be reported to the relevant bodies.

There can also be no promotional mention of the games in any ads by Sport Bars or other entities which wish to have the patrons

visit their places of business to watch the matches even though they might be getting the feeds from one of the two companies who also secured the broadcast rights through the sub-letting arrangement.

In addition to NCN Inc., the rights to broadcast the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) games 2014 have also been awarded to local cable company E Networks and direct provider Stabroek TV. EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW This was confirmed by Hassan in an exclusive interview with this newspaper yesterday morning.

She explained that NCN has sought and gotten permission to sub-let the rights for the games to the listed entities.

Hassan went on to say that while the rights to have the games aired via direct and cable TV, NCN still holds the sole broadcasting rights for the games, acquired through the International Media Content (IMC).

Prior to sub-letting of the games, anyone who was found airing the games without the permission of NCN would have landed

in legal disputes with FIFA and IMC. Anyone who wishes to set up big screens and show the FIFA World Cup matches are asked to visit the NCN Inc and get the requisite permission and that comes with a cost, Hassan reminded.

She also spoke to the issue of Sport Bars which are seeking to have the games shown in open air on big screens.

Hassan said once permission is not sought from NCN that will be illegal.

She added that those to whom the rights have been sub-let are not permitted to air the games outdoors, only indoors.

She said it was on Monday that the company signed the agreement to sub-let the games to the two entities.

With E Networks subletting the games from NCN it now has exclusive cable rights to show the games but those come with boundaries through their cable broadcasts. Likewise the arrangement for the satellite TV coverage of the games which were signed between NCN and Stabroek TV. PLAYED SIMULTANEOUSLY Hassan has assured that

NCN will be broadcasting all 64 games of the FIFA World Cup Football which features 32 teams. She said, where games are played simultaneously, those will be recorded and rebroadcast for the Guyanese viewing public.

Asked about the value to the customer of this arrangement, she said the broadcasts both live and rebroadcast were sold as packages to advertisers and they accepted them wholeheartedly pointing out the individual objective of the advertisers who picked their deals.

The support of the corporate community has been tremendous with respect to selling of the various packages for the games, she said.

The CEO mentioned that because of that, NCN has been able to recover the cost for securing the rights for the games and spots and packages are still being sold while limited space is available to accommodate added sponsors.

Among the main sponsors of the FIFA Games to be aired on NCN are Banks Coca Cola, Courts Guyana Limited, Ansa Mc Al, Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), Singer and Digicel Guyana.

CARICOM youth ambassadors ready for CSME advocacy

OVER twenty CARICOM Youth Ambassadors (CYAs) are now equipped to promote the benefits of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Single Market and Economy (CSME) to their peers throughout the Community, having completed a two-day CSME Advocacy Workshop in Guyana on May 29-30.

Participants were satisfied with the knowledge and skills that they gained from the workshop and expressed their commitment to championing the CSME and its benefits to their peers upon returning to their respective Member States. They will be making particular use of social media and other interactive tools to carry out their advocacy efforts.

In his remarks at the workshop’s opening ceremony, CARICOM Secretary-General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, referring to advocating the CSME to the youth, urged the CYAs to “think about how you can distill and deliver this message to them, because you are all critical to the success, not only of the CSME, but also the wider

Chief Elections Officer addresses GECOM role in LGE

“CALLING (Local Government) elections is outside of the remit of GECOM,” according to Chief Elections Officer of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), and Commissioner of National Registration, Mr. Keith Lowenfield, on Tuesday at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Georgetown, as he addressed the gathering of a public forum on the Local Government System in Guyana.

Lowenfield said

Chief Elections Officer and Commissioner of National Registration of GECOM, Mr. Keith Lowenfield

GECOM’s responsibility, as defined by the Local Elections Amendment Act, is to provide an effective election system by implementing laws which ought to guide the operations of such electoral processes in order to ensure the smooth delivery of results.

He said that information available on the constituencies in relation to the amount of votes, polling stations, and logistics of polling show the

preparedness of the agency to facilitate local government elections.

The forum was hosted by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and those at the head table included Senior Vice-President of the GCCI, Mr. Vishnu Doerga; Chief Elections Officer and Commissioner of National Registration of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Mr. Keith Lowenfield; GECOM Commissioner Mr. Vincent Alexander; President of the GCCI, Mr. Lance Hinds; and Immediate-Past President of the GCCI and Founder of BLUE Caps, Mr. Clinton Urling.

In his presentation, Lowenfield noted funding for the elections agency, which has already been approved by the National Assembly, would be utilised to operate the agency to support local government elections. He said that funding would be released only if word is given by the relevant authorities to the Chairman and Commissioners.

VOTERS LIST Once funds earmarked for GECOM have been released, he said, the issue of conducting claims and objections would be examined, including the issue of persons seeking transfer from one polling district to another, claims to be placed on the voter’s list, and claims made for corrections and changes made on National Identification Cards.

“For all those persons who would have made a claim, especially if they are new (to the voting system), we [GECOM] administratively seek to ensure that, on our list, there is only one Keith Lowenfield, and that there is no duplication,” the Chief Elections Officer asserted.

He pointed out that such activities are time-bound because of the extensive amount of training needed for effectiveness at both the level of the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) and the Municipal level, which would take some 28 days for actual operation.

“We need to understand fundamentally what is required, [and] we need to understand that some activities can be done concurrently,” Lowenfield said of the preparedness process. He added that the operations will then move to constructing the official list of voters (OLE), which must satisfy the legal and statutory requirements.

These steps, according to the Chief Elections Officer, pave the way for bringing into action the making of sensitive materials like ballots.

BALLOTS “We cannot print ballots in any constituency or NDC until after nomination day. it is only on nomination day that we will know that my friend wants to be involved; and based on all those who would have satisfied the criteria, we move towards the

Armed robber fleeces Campbellville Post Office after daring daylight heist

By Michel Outridge STAFFERS of the Campbellville Post Office in Georgetown had the scare of their lives when a lone gunman kicked his way into the inner office and relieved the post office of $1.3M in cash, cash vouchers and other monies, at about 07:30 hrs yesterday, shortly after the Guyana Police Force had escorted a canister with cash and had lodged same in the storage area.

The full extent of the loss was still being tallied up to yesterday. Speaking to this publication at the scene, Public Relations Officer/Assistant to the Postmaster-General, Telesha Whyte, said the incident occurred at about 08:27 hrs, when a man armed with a handgun made his way into the post office and kicked in

a door that leads to the tellers and the office.

She said the bandit cornered several staffers who were manning the counter, and demanded money before going into the office and taking away the money that was in the storage area, which had been lodged at the office under police escort at about 07:30 hrs yesterday morning.

Whyte added that the bandit pounced on and robbed the place in a timely, well-orchestrated manner as if he had been observing the movements.

She pointed out that the gunman had an accomplice waiting in front of the post office on a CG motorcycle, upon which he made his speedy getaway before the police showed up.

She noted that although no one was injured or any gunshots were fired, the em-

ployees were all traumatized, and the post office remained closed for business until further notice. Meanwhile, the police are investigating the incident.

Whyte described what happened as sad, because she said the post office provides social services to the community, the doors are opened for business from 07:00 hrs, and old age and other pensions are payable, as well as other services are done there.

She noted that the robbery had been witnessed by several persons who were sitting at a nearby snackette, but they refused to assist the police with information when approached as the police began their probe.

Whyte said there are 67 post offices countrywide, with a complement of about 500 employees.

From left are: Senior Vice-President of the GCCI, Mr. Vishnu Doerga; Chief Elections Officer and Commissioner of National Registration of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Mr. Keith Lowenfield; GECOM Commissioner Mr. Vincent Alexander; President of the GCCI, Mr. Lance Hinds, and Immediate-Past President of the GCCI and Founder of BLUE Caps, Mr. Clinton Urling

production of ballots,” he said, asserting: “It cannot be done beforehand.”

Lowenfield iterated, “When we speak to a period of being ready, we need to understand the administrative and statutory arrangements that must take place.

“The Chief Elections Officer must ensure they are complied with.”

Lowenfield said GECOM

does not want to run afoul of the law by operating outside of the legal framework that has been established. He urged for immediate recognition of the dynamics that are involved in the active pursuit of office for councillors in the municipality of Georgetown.

“Candidates must be identified before we structure the ballot that speaks to Proportional Representation

(PR) and [those that] speak [to] the issue of First-PastThe-Post (FPTP),” Lowenfield said.

He said the process is calculated, and ought to work within the framework of the laws; and there are administrative arrangements that should be observed in order to ensure that electors can exercise their franchise according to their desire.

CHANGING GOVT IN ANTIGUA TODAY

- polls predict ALP victory

By Rickey Singh IF, AS SEEMS likely, the latest results of an established independent public opinion poll prove correct, then the official host for next month’s annual Caribbean Community Heads of Government Conference in Antigua and Barbuda will not be incumbent Prime Minister, Baldwin Spencer—leader of the ruling United Progressive Party (UPP).

Rather, based on projections for today’s general elections by the Barbados-based Caribbean Devel-

opment Research Services (CADRES), that honour is being reserved for first-time leader of the Antigua Labour Party (ALP), Gaston Brown.

His name is not yet well known among CARICOM citizens beyond the sub-region of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). But stay tuned.

Of the 17 parliamentary seats at stake, CADRES’ political scientist, Peter Wickham, predicts a minimum of ten constituencies for the ALP to a possible two thirds.

Except for the single seat for tiny sister isle Barbuda, all the constituencies are spread

across Antigua.

However, despite the CADRES assessment and the robust presence at campaign meetings, including choking streets of motorcades of ALP supporters, according to various reports out of St.John’s, Prime Minister Spencer was maintaining his feisty mood with the prediction of an “overwhelming voters response” for a consecutive third fiveyear term for his ULP. The CARICOM Secretariat in Georgetown has organised a nine-member team of observers to monitor the conduct of the elections.

There will also be observer missions from the Commonwealth, Organisation of American States and the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights.

The hope is that this time around there would be no repeat of bitter claims of gerrymandering of constituency boundaries, manipulation of ballot-counting and other improprieties that had characterised the 2012 elections, which also marked the last political hurrah for the ALP’s Lester Bird.

Traditionally regarded as the Birds’ family party, founded and nurtured by the now late veteran trade unionist and politician, Vere Bird,

the ALP was first defeated

by Spencer’s UPP with a landslide victory in 2004, amid spreading disaffection over claimed political cronyism, financial corruption and economic mismanagement.

Ironically, some of these allegations had also surfaced by the early years of the UPP’s second term.

More recently, Prime Minister Spencer has been pushed to defend his administration against financial malpractices in the operations of a still fledgling “citizenship for investment” programme by which foreigners acquire Antigua and Barbuda citizenship without having to reside in the country and

with which they secure access to countries of choice.

For now, the waiting is for the official results by this evening to know who will be invited by the Governor to be sworn in as the Prime Minister to host next month’s CARICOM summit in St. John’s.

There will also follow the assessments from the visiting missions observing the conduct of the elections to ascertain whether or not electoral fraud was again a sad feature in order to determine the legitimacy of either Spencer’s incumbent UPP, or first-timer Browne-led ALP to govern Antigua and Barbuda.

He also emphasised that as Youth Ambassadors, they were the champions of the Community’s efforts to deepen the regional integration movement through the CSME and other programmes.

Representative of the Delegation of the European Union to Guyana, Mr. Robert Baldwin, who also addressed the gathering, echoed the Secretary-General’s sentiments on the role of the CYAs by pointing out that “effective communication is very important, and this task will fall to you, as CARICOM Youth Ambassadors, to explain the advantages that integration, partnership, and cooperation” can bring.

Hosted by the CARICOM Secretariat with the assistance of the Tenth European Development Fund, the workshop participants were trained in the operations of the CSME as well as in public speaking, media interviews and developing youth-friendly messages, among other areas.

GMSA lauds LCDS and NCS as way forward for addressing energy crisis in Business sector

By Derwayne Wills CHIEF Executive Officer (CEO) of Swansea Industrial Associates, Mr. Clement Duncan, as an executive member of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), has urged that the twin policies of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and the National Competitiveness Strategy (NCS) be recognised as Guyana’s most formidable chance for survival in the real world.

During the World Accreditation Day Symposium, hosted by the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) on Monday at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Georgetown, Duncan made this suggestion as he reiterated sentiments expressed by the President of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Dr. Warren Smith, in highlighting the manufacturing sector as being one of the areas of non-competitiveness in the Caribbean, accrediting this phenomenon to high energy costs recorded at three times that of the energy cost in North America.

World Accreditation Day was observed under the

theme “Accreditation: Delivering confidence in the provision of energy.” Members of the head table included Mr. Clement Duncan; Dr.

Executive Member of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), and Chief Executive Officer of Swansea Industrial Associates, Mr. Clement Duncan

Mahender Sharma, Executive Director of the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA); Mr. Horace Williams, CEO of the Hinterland Electrification Unit of the Office of the Prime Minister; Ms. Candelle Walcott-Bostwick, Head of the Conformity Assessment Department of the GNBS; and Mr. Al Donavan Fraser, Technical Officer of the GNBS. In addressing the issue of energy availability, Dun-

can recalled that, in 2012, the GMSA membership had urged the umbrella organisation to “be more proactive in helping them address this issue of high energy costs.”

He added that the Association had been in talks with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), devising a project that would have comprehensively addressed the issues of energy conservation, energy efficiency, and the

possibility of alternative energy through self-generation in complementing the energy sources already available through the national grid.

Duncan asserted that the GSMA is working in conjunction with the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) and the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL), since the findings of the project directly relate to energy consumption that can be used as guidelines for

targeting some of the broad tenets that were identified in the project.

As a collective effort between the GMSA, IDB, GEA and GPL, the project would ultimately impact the energy policy of Guyana in addressing the following key issues: provision of a stable and reliable economic supply of energy; reduction of dependency on imported fuel; promotion and increased util-

isation of domestic resources; and ensuring that energy consumption is maintained in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner.

Duncan said the Private Sector, particularly the industrial and manufacturing sector, has noted the fundamental importance of the twin policies in guiding the direction of the business secContinue on page 20

Hundreds attend Dynamic Airways job fair interviews DYNAMIC Airways, which is set to begin flights to Guyana on June 26, will, as part of the venture, be hiring 50 Guyanese flight attendants.

Towards the latter purpose, the airline hosted a job fair yesterday, at Duke Lodge in Kingston, Georgetown, where about 300 persons turned up to be interviewed.

Speaking to the Guyana Chronicle, Director of InFlight, Deanna Amos explained that it was in an effort to employ a Guyanese crew.

She said, however, that she is very overwhelmed by

the turnout of applicants but will be telling them what they can expect from the company about the training, the qualifications they would need and “for those we would have chosen we will then elaborate.”

Amos said part of the training for the 50 recruited will be conducted here in Guyana.

“We will do two to two and a half weeks of training right here at the Duke Lodge and then we will take everyone up to the U.S. (United States of America) to com-

plete the hands-on drills portion,” she added.

The airline’s partnership with Guyana has started to see a complete business structure where special logos and websites will be specially designed to reflect it.

GUYANESE CREW At the job fair, Dynamic Airways unveiled the new Guyana flight attendant uniform and explained that it will be worn only by the Guyanese crew.

It had been announced at the launch that flights will

start at an introductory cost of US$499 between New

York and Guyana and persons flying from Guyana to New York will pay US$575.

Travellers will be allowed two pieces of luggage at 55 pounds each and one hand piece of 25 pounds.

There will be four scheduled flights per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The airline has already filed all necessary documents and a bond with the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and local bookings could be done through Ror-

aima Airways or other travel agents. International bookings can be secured via the website www.fly-dynamic. com.

Dynamic Airways operates to provide its customers with a world-class air charter experience through superior service and industry leading safety practices. Founded in 2010, the company has continued to build its business through dedication to these principles and from the referrals of satisfied customers.

tor and the economy of Guyana. The National Competitiveness Strategy addresses a holistic approach to development and the Low Carbon Development Strategy, addresses the environmental aspects centred on low carbon emissions of developmental projects, he said.

Duncan asserted that the association recognises the policy and its army-style “pincer movement” as being geared towards progress in energy and productivity improvements through human endeavour.

“Part of my responsibility in the GMSA is trade and investment, and I hear the complaints and concerns of our membership about our inability to be competitive, and [for] various reasons, of which energy -- or the lack

of affordable energy -- is one of the reasons [accounting for] 20% of operating costs,” Duncan related.

“The GSMA has, since 2012, been meeting with its membership on the issue of energy conservation. We identified five companies in our membership -- some are present here today -- that reflected the spectrum of the manufacturing sector,” Duncan disclosed.

The companies identified were drawn from a lot of high-energy users as well as modest energy users. Duncan noted that the parameter of 20% of operating cost of the business was the key issue to be remedied by the assessment, which only persists because of the lack of available energy sources in the Caribbean.

South Ruimveldt labourer remanded for shooting driver in buttocks

By Geeta Rampersaud CHIEF Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, Tuesday refused bail to 22-year-old hinterland labourer, Paul Rose of Lot 468 South Ruimveldt, Georgetown when he appeared in her court accused of shooting his child-mother’s taxi driver to his buttocks with intention to maim, disfigure or disable the man.

Rose pleaded not guilty to the charge, particulars of which said that on April 23, at Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he discharged a loaded firearm at Raul Braithwaite.

Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, said Braithwaite is a part-time taxi driver, and Rose’s child mother would travel in his taxi.

On the day before the incident, the woman requested that Braithwaite drop her to her location; the defendant saw when she came out of the vehicle, and an argument ensued between the two men.

On the following day, as Braithwaite was in Festival City eating, the defendant allegedly approached him, pulled out a gun and fired at him, causing Braithwaite to sustain injuries to his buttocks.

The matter was reported to the police.

Prosecutor Mangru opposed bail on the ground that both men are known to each other, and if bail is granted, Rose may tamper with Braithwaite. Mangru also mentioned that Rose had been avoiding the police since the incident had been committed.

Rose was represented by attorney-at-law, Mr. Peter Hugh, who told the court that Rose is a father of two minor children and has no prior or pending matter.

He said that his client could not have been avoiding the police since he was arrested at his home last Friday.

Hugh said his client was not a flight risk and will not tamper with the witness. Moreover, since the allegation of the incident, nothing else had happened to Braithwaite.

Hugh also said his client was held in custody for a bailable offence, and that he believes the police have something against him, because the man was held in custody since last Friday, and his mother was made aware that he would be placed on bail only this morning. He said the defendant’s mother was also told that her son will be attending the Providence Magistrate’s Court, whereas he was arraigned in the

Georgetown Magistrates Court.

Hugh said that when the police went to the defendant’s home on Friday, they drew their weapons and his mother had to intervene by placing herself in front of her son.

The prosecutor rebutted this contention by stating that when Rose saw the police, he tried to flee by climbing on the house roof, and he also tried to attack Braithwaite after he had been apprehended, but Braithwaite managed to drive away.

Rose was refused bail, and the matter was transferred before Magistrate Judy Latchman for report and fixtures.

In Magistrate Latchm a n ’s c o u r t , A t t o r ney-at-law Peter Hugh again tried to obtain bail for his client by stating that it is unfair that Rose would be kept in custody while the police file is still not completed. He said Rose is willing to comply with any conditions imposed by the court as a condition for his being granted bail.

But Prosecutor Joel Ricknauth opposed bail on grounds that are similar to those advanced by Prosecutor Mangru.

Rose will return to court on June 20 for statements.

Child mother appears in court accused of assaulting child father -placed on her own recognizance

By Geeta Rampersaud MELISSA Adridge of Lot 161 Campbellville Housing Scheme, Georgetown was Tuesday placed on her own recognizance

by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, for an alleged unlawful assault committed on her child father, Brian Rickette, after an exchange of words on Friday, May 13,

at the National Park in Georgetown.

Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, said Adridge and Rickette have a son together, and on the day in question Rickette was passing by when he saw Adridge and inquired about their son not attending classes.

An exchange of words ensued, and Adridge dealt Rickette several cuffs about

his face, causing him to receive injuries.

But Adridge’s defence was that Rickette had assaulted her first; and based on this allegation, a notguilty plea was recorded for her.

The prosecutor did not object to Adridge being granted bail, and the matter was transferred before Magistrate Dylon Bess for June 24 for trial.

Ogle stabbing victim with several tattoos identified as Montrose teen

By Michel Outridge THE teenager whose body was found with stab wounds along Ogle Access Road, East Coast Demerara on Monday has since been identified by relatives as Bhaker Azeez, called ‘Andy,’ 17, of Lot 129 Third Street, Montrose.

The body was identified yesterday morning at the Georgetown Public Hospi-

tal Corporation mortuary.

The former employee of Buddy’s Auto Sales located at Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara, was last seen alive on Monday night shortly after he left home for an unknown destination with friends.

Grandfather of the deceased, Abdool Kadir, 61, told this publication that his grandson was at home when a friend, who also resides in the village, called

him out and he left home but returned sometime after.

He added, however, that upon his grandson’s return home he overheard him on the cell phone saying to someone, “I can’t make it now.” He hung up and went to the upper flat of the house where he resided with his sister.

The elderly man related that, after Azeez returned home, he retired to bed in

the lower flat of the twostorey house, but he went out again.

He explained that the youth was in the habit of leaving home without informing them where he was going and with whom, so they are unaware how he met his demise.

Azeez did not return home on Monday night and it was until Tuesday morning they began enquiring of his whereabouts since he had left his cell phone at home. That evening they learnt via a TV newscast that an unidentified body was found and they decided to show up with the police to see if it was their loved one.

At the GPHC morgue their worst fears were con-

firmed following the identification of the body from the varying tattoos he had imprinted on his chest, displaying the names of his mother, sister, and niece and a cross and a rose.

Azeez’s mother, Zabida Azeez, told this publication yesterday that her son was not working for some time until he secured a job with Buddy’s Auto Sales but he lost that job and was at home.

She could not say what might have transpired leading up to his death or who would have wanted to harm her son since she lives elsewhere. However, they are seeking answers.

The grieving mother has no idea how her son ended up at the location where

his body was found, but she is hoping the police can crack the case and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.

A post-mortem will be conducted tomorrow.

Police had reported that at about 20:30 hrs on Monday, a man of East Indian descent was found with suspected stab wounds and taken to the GPHC where he succumbed while receiving medical attention.

The report had said also that the deceased had the letters A, N, D, Y in the form of a tattoo on the fingers of his right hand and also had tattoos of the names Sheila, Falicia, Bibi and Fara, along with a cross and a rose on his chest.

Girl, 17, remanded for stealing $140,000 ‘box hand’ money

By Geeta Rampersaud A SEVENTEEN-YEAROLD girl of Lot 6 Farm Village, East Bank Essequibo, pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of stealing $140,000 ‘box hand’ money at a hair salon and was remanded to prison pending a probation report.

Suzanne Trapp appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty and pleaded guilty to the charge, which alleged that on May 18 at Freeman Street, East La Penitence, G e o rg e t o w n , s h e s t o l e $140,000 cash, property of Talicia Vincent.

Police Corporal Seon Blackman, prosecuting, said the teenage girl is known to the virtual complainant and she would normally get her hair and nails done at Shon-

dell’s Professional Touch hair salon where the VC works.

On the day in question, at about 11:30 hrs, the accused went to the salon and saw when the VC placed the said cash in her bag and then into a drawer.

The VC then went to collect a glass of water for the accused and on her return Trapp drank the water and left. Subsequently, Vincent made checks for the cash and discovered that the money was missing.

The matter was reported to the police and after an investigation was carried out, the defendant was arrested and charged.

The unrepresented teen said she was willing to repay the VC and the case will be called again on June 16 for a probation report.

Middle Road man fined $5,000 for having three grammes of ganja GERALD Ward, 30, of Lot 154 Middle Road, La Penitence, pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of possession of narcotics and was fined $5,000 by Magistrate Faith McGusty.

The unemployed man on June 7 at Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown, had in his possession three grammes of cannabis sativa.

Police Corporal Seon

Blackman, prosecuting, told the court that ranks acting on information received, conducted a search at Ward’s home.

The prosecutor said that as a result of the search, two transparent Ziploc bags were found in his bedroom. They contained leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be the illegal substance.

GRA PRO faces court for allegedly threatening and abusing wife

By Geeta Rampersaud ROSHAN Reid of Lot 474 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown appeared Tuesday before Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded not guilty to using threatening and abusive language to his wife, Angela Reid, on June 5 at their West Ruimveldt home.

Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, said the facts are as contained in the charge, but he did not object to bail.

The Public Relations operative of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) was represented by attorney-atlaw, Mr. Leslie Sobers, who told the court that his client and the victim have been residing at the same address for the past four years.

Mr. Sobers said Roshan and Angela Reid met each other at the University of Guyana (UG) and subsequently became a family. He said his client informed him that the incident emanated from a mere misunderstanding, and Angela has since moved with their children to her mother’s residence.

Sobers said his client loves his wife and urges her to return home. He asked that his client be released on selfbail, and assured the court that his client has no reason to be a flight risk.

Roshan Reid was released on his own recognizance, but was bonded to keep the peace pending the outcome of the trial.

The matter has been transferred before Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond for June 16.

Although Justice Kennard would not confirm the name of the police rank who could face criminal charges, this newspaper was informed that it is likely to be the detective constable.

Following the incident, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Mr. Wright has since been transferred to the animal section of the GPF for trying to cover up the burning of the teenager’s hands by a rank of the Sparendaam Police Station.

19-year-old Junior Torrington had the burns inflicted on his two hands by a detective constable at the Sparendaam Police Station while the teen was being questioned in relation to a criminal mater.

Brazil set to kick off ...

From Backpage

holders Spain are aiming to win a fourth major tournament in a row after winning the European Championships two years ago.

The other seeded teams are Colombia, Uruguay, Switzerland, Argentina, Germany and Belgium.

Match-of-the-Day presenter Gary Lineker believes there are four teams with a realistic chance of winning the tournament.

“I have a feeling it will come down to four countries, although unfortunately I do not think one of them will be England,” said former England striker Lineker.

“I’m going for Germany, Spain, Argentina or Brazil but I feel that the pressure may well be a little too much for the host nation.”

The host nation have never lost their opening World Cup game, with the previous 20 opening games producing 14 victories and six draws for the hosts.

Scolari’s Brazil side will be expected to win in Sao Paulo today, in a match that kicks off at 21:00 BST.

A capacity 65 000 crowd are expected for the match, with their journey to the stadium eased after workers suspended a strike over pay to allow for negotiations. A fiveday stoppage had caused traffic chaos in one of the world’s most congested cities but talks resumed on Tuesday.

As one problem eased another began, however, with airport workers in Brazil’s second largest city Rio de Janeiro announcing a 24-hour strike starting at midnight on Wednesday, meaning industrial action will continue through the opening day of the World Cup Governing body FIFA said it had sold more than 2.9 million tickets, but they were still available for several matches yesterday, including some involving Germany, Italy and France.

There will be 31 matches shown live on BBC television and online, starting with Spain v Netherlands on Friday, June 13, and live text commentary on all 64 matches, available on the BBC Sport website and app for mobile, tablet and connected TV.

Blatter opens FIFA Congress, sidesteps corruption scandal

By Mike Collett SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - FIFA president Sepp Blatter used a speech to the annual Congress of world football’s ruling body yesterday to extol the sport’s ability to change lives, but he sidestepped specific reference to the scandals surrounding the organisation.

The 78-year-old Swiss had another opportunity later in the day to address allegations of bribery surrounding Qatar’s successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup that have marred the buildup to this year’s tournament in Brazil.

FIFA meetings in Sao Paulo this week, ahead of the World Cup opening tie between Brazil and Croatia today, have also under-

lined deep divisions within the body over whether Blatter should run for re-election in 2015.

His opening remarks to delegates from FIFA’s 209 member associations were general in nature and focused mainly on the benefits of FIFA and soccer more generally.

Blatter said FIFA had a responsibility to ensure the sport was a force for positive change, and asked what the organisation should do to make that happen.

“The answer is easy and simple ... we must lead by example and we must listen to all voices; we must be responsible and upright in all that we do, we must do the right thing even if that comes at a cost,” he said.

“It’s not always very

easy to live up to this principle. But it’s our duty ... if we do not do it, who will?”

One specific area he did discuss was racism in soccer, a scourge of the modern game.

“We must stand strong against racism and discrimination. Suspensions and empty stadiums are not enough. Taking points, expelling teams or relegating them must be an example for all the others,” he said.

CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS INVESTIGATED Blatter also alluded to the fact that Michael Garcia, who is heading an investigation into alleged corruption within FIFA, was in the audience and would address the Congress later yesterday.

Garcia’s investigation

Spurs sprint past Heat for 2-1 lead in NBA Finals MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) - The San Antonio Spurs routed the Miami Heat 111-92 to seize a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals on Tuesday and deal the Heat their first home loss of the playoffs.

The Spurs played their motion offence to near perfection in the first half leading by as many as 25 points despite the best efforts of Miami’s LeBron James and took a massive 71-50 lead into intermission.

San Antonio survived a third-quarter comeback that brought Miami within seven points at 81-74 late in the third quarter, but the visitors reasserted themselves to win going away for a comfortable win that ended the Heat’s 8-0 perfection at home this

postseason.

Kawhi Leonard, who had averaged nine points a game in the first two contests, led the Spurs with a career-high 29 points. Tony Parker and Danny Green both pitched in with 15 points.

Four-time NBA most valuable player James scored 22 points to share Miami scoring honours with Dwyane Wade, although James was never able to take control of the game.

James scored 14 points in the first quarter with the next highest-scoring Heat player Ray Allen getting three as the Spurs charged out to a 41-25 lead.

James scored only eight points the rest of the way.

“They came out in a different gear than we were

playing at,” said a frustrated Erik Spoelstra, coach of the two-time defending NBA champions Heat.

San Antonio put on an offensive clinic in the opening half combined with remarkable shooting accuracy.

The Spurs hit 25 of 33 shots for a 75.8 percent shooting percentage that was an NBA Finals record for a half.

San Antonio also applied their high energy pressure on the defensive end, taking advantage of some sloppy play by the Heat to create 20 turnovers, including seven committed by James.

Game Four of the National Basketball Association championship series will be played today on the Miami Heat’s home court.

“These are important times for FIFA,”- Sepp Blatter .

Garcia will submit the report to German judge of nearly two years offiHans-Joachim Eckert, the cially concluded on Monhead of the Ethics Commitday. tee’s adjudicatory chamber, It is not clear whether he had time to take into in around six weeks, and if account recent reports in he finds corruption, Qatar the Sunday Times based on could be stripped of the “millions of documents”, Cup, or at least face a chalsome of which it said linked lenge to its position as host payments by former FIFA either through a re-vote or executive committee mem- other processes.

Delegates from Euber Mohamed bin Hammam rope’s powerful govto officials as part of a camerning body UEFA on paign to win support for Tuesday made it clear to Qatar’s bid.

Blatter that they would bin Hammam has not not support him running commented on his involvement since he was banned for re-election, believing for life from football in that FIFA’s reputation has 2012, while Qataris work- been tarnished by allegaing on the project now say tions of corruption and he was not a part of its mismanagement.

But Blatter enjoys official bid.

strong support from other regions, suggesting he is in a good position to extend his 16-year rule at the head of the world’s most popular sport until 2019 if he wants to.

Yesterday’s FIFA Congress is particularly important given the Qatar bid concerns, doubts over Blatter’s future and a lack of enthusiasm in host country Brazil for the World Cup. Many Brazilians believe the money spent on building new stadiums in cities that only have small local teams should have gone instead to improving social services.

Support for hosting the World Cup has fallen from nearly 80 percent in 2008 to less than 50 percent this year, according to pollster Datafolha.

“These are important times for FIFA,” Blatter said.

“Football is not just a game, it is a multi-billion dollar business. I don’t know if that is good or not.

It creates controversial situations and then some difficulties. In this changing world little is beyond the reach of politics and economics.”

Pakistan board reverses decision on Younis Khan KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reinstated former captain and senior batsman Younis Khan in the top category of players awarded central contracts after his demotion was widely criticised.

Younis, 36, had been listed in category B but the PCB said yesterday that Chairman Najam Sethi had ordered an amendment to rectify the situation.

Under a new clause to be inserted into the rules, any player who has played over 300 matches in all three formats of the

Mathews expects hostility as Test series begins at Lord’s

By Josh Reich LONDON, England (Reuters) - Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews did his best to play down any lingering discontent surrounding the controversial run-out of Jos Buttler, but admits to expecting some hostility when his side’s two-match Test series with England begins at Lord’s today.

The visitors won the oneday international series 3-2, but their final victory was overshadowed by the dismissal of Buttler, who was run-out at the non-striker’s end by Sachithra Senanayake, who took the bails off when he strayed out of his crease.

Neither player is involved in the five-day series but as captain Mathews made the call to uphold the appeal - a decision that incensed the England side - it has added extra spice to the series.

The incident also came after Sri Lankan heckles were already raised by the reporting of Senanayake over a suspect bowling action.

Mathews and his opposite Alastair Cook spoke briefly after the match about the incident, when feelings were still high, but the 27-year-old said his side were more interested in winning the series than provoking tensions.

“We want to be focused, to concentrate on what we can do,” Mathews told reporters yesterday.

“There are so many things happening around but we want to stick to our basics, try and do our best and win against England.

“We played pretty well in the ODIs and confidence

Alastair Cook and Angelo Mathews with the series trophy at Lord’s, yesterday. is pretty high. We all know it is going to be a hostile series, but we are up for the challenge and we just want to enjoy ourselves and play some good cricket.”

Talk inevitably returned to the controversial run-out, with Mathews refusing to back down on his belief that Senanayake was in the right.

“I don’t want to see that happening again. Buttler was warned a few times - he did it in the Lord’s ODI and we analysed it after that, and they have taken 21 twos in the last 10 overs,” he said.

“He was backing away but we did nothing about it - we just couldn’t let him do that in every game. We warned him twice and, as I keep saying, I don’t know how to stop a batsman doing that consistently so we had to go for it.

“I don’t want to keep talking about it - we’ve been talking about it ever since the ODI series so we just want to put it to bed and move on.”

INEXPERIENCED ATTACK In Mahela Jayawardene

and Kumar Sangakkara, Sri Lanka have two of international cricket’s most experienced batsmen, albeit ones who have struggled on previous tours to England, but their seam attack, of vital importance early in the

northern summer, is less so.

Of the five pace bowlers named in the 15-man squad, Chanaka Welegedara is the only one to have taken a Test wicket in England, and together with Shaminda Eranga, Nuwan Kulasekara, Nuwan Pradeep and Dhammika Prasad they have played a combined 69 Tests.

England are expected to name three debutants, with Sydney-born Sam Robson to open with Cook, all-rounder Moeen Ali to bat at number six and Chris Jordan one of the pace options.

It is coach Peter Moore’s first Test back in charge of England since replacing Andy Flower after the 5-0 Ashes humiliation in Australia.

With Kevin Pietersen’s

international career over, England have bigger concerns than a controversial run-out as they look to rebuild for the future.

“It’s an exciting time,” Cook said. “Three new caps is a very exciting time and we have a lot of guys with not a lot of experience but then on the other side of the changing room you’ve got five or six guys who have played close to 100 Tests.

“It’s quite a big split but the last couple of days (training) have been brilliant.”

He backed the newcomers to show that they could be the future of the England side.

“It takes time to feel settled in international cricket.

You never feel totally comfortable but you need a bit of experience to know how it

works, to feel the difference and the step up from county cricket.

“That can lead to a bit of inconsistency at the start. Look at all the senior guys they’ve had their ups and downs to get to where they are now.

“There are also guys who have had amazing starts to their careers, hundreds on debuts, five-fors; you’re going into the unknown and the opposition don’t know that much about you.”

Cook said Gary Ballance will bat at three, followed

by Ian Bell, Joe Root and Moeen, who will be also expected to chip in at the bowling crease with his parttime off-spin.

The second and final Test begins at Edgbaston on June 20.

GCB postpones National T20 League

AT a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), it was unanimously agreed to postpone this highly-touted National T20 Franchise League that was scheduled to commence this month prior to the New Zealand Test match.

The GCB also regrets the fact that Guyana has again lost out on hosting international cricket at our world famous National Stadium at Providence with the transfer of the New Zealand Test match to Barbados, but this decision was totally outside the control of the GCB. However, we do understand, respect and appreciate the position taken by our parent Board, the West Indies Cricket Board, and trust that we would be able to make full use of our stadium in the near future for the hosting of international and regional cricket.

The National T20 League would have seen at least 90 of our top local cricketers from around the country and about 20 regional cricketers participate in an 8-team tournament over a 10-day period and discussions had already commenced with sponsors and very competitive teams identified.

Everything has now been put on hold due to the very uncertain climate surrounding our cricket administration vis-a-vis the new Cricket Administration Bill recently passed in Parliament.

We thank those entities and individuals who submitted expressions of interest and promise that your correspondence would be placed on record and given priority when we are in a position to launch our league.

We do apologise to the entire cricketing public at large but these are issues totally outside of our control and the GCB would advise the public via the media or its website on the future plans for this T20 League and our future plans for cricket administration in general.

Raynauth Jeffrey

to date performed creditably for the 2014 season, will come against keen competition from the likes of Warren McKay, Marlon `Fishy’ Williams, Orville Hinds, Paul DeNobrega,

Robin Persaud and Hamza Eastman, among others.

The event, which is being organised by national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed, will wheel off from outside the Wales Police Station, West Bank Demerara and proceed to Bushy Park, East Bank Essequibo, before turning back to finish at the Demerara Harbour Bridge.

However, the veterans, females and mountain bikers will turn back at Uitvlugt.

The top six finishers will be rewarded financially as will the top three veterans, top three mountain bikers and top three females.

Six prime prizes will be up for grabs during the event.

The defending champion of the junior category is Shaquille Agard, while Talim Shaw is the defending champion of the veterans’ category.

Clyde Jacobs is the defending champion of the mountain bike category while Hazina Barrett will be defending in the female category.

A representative of GUYOIL who is sponsoring the event under its Castrol brand, will assist with the presentation of prizes to the respective winners.

MCYS hosting Sports Management workshop THE MINISTRY of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS), in partnership with the Guyana Olympic Association, has garnered the services of Olympic medallists Grace Jackson (Jamaica) and Ato Bolton (Trinidad and Tobago) to host a sports management workshop on June 18 at the National Resource Centre, Woolford Avenue.

Sports Management is concerned with the business aspect of sports and recreation.

Some examples of sport management include: the front office system in professional sports, college sports managers, recreational sport managers, sports marketing, event management, facility management, sports economics, sport finance, and sports information.

This profession is slowly increasing in popularity, yet is predicted to not be able to fill positions due to the explosion in supply. Entry-level persons with a degree in Sports Management can expect an hourly wage due to the higher level of interest and fewer available jobs.

During the year, the ministry will be facilitating other educational programmes in the area of cricket and other disciplines and these are intended to increase awareness and enhance the skills and knowledge of sportsmen and women.

Craig impressive as NZ beat Windies by 186 runs (REUTERS) – Off-spinner Mark Craig captured the best figures by a New Zealand bowler on debut as the visitors beat West Indies by 186 runs late on the fourth day of the first Test at Sabina Park yesterday.

The hosts were bowled out for 216 after New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum had asked for an additional 30 minutes of play when they reduced West Indies to 115 for seven with four overs remaining in the regulation day's play.

Craig finished with 4-97 and match figures of 8-188, the best from a New Zealand bowler on debut, as the hosts were dismissed in the final over of the day, chasing an improbable 403 runs for victory in Kingston.

Tim Southee had torn the top off the hosts' second innings with two wickets while Craig and leg-spinner Ish Sodhi shared the wickets in the final session with Sodhi taking 3-42 as New Zealand won just their second Test in the Caribbean.

Ta i l - e n d e r s S h a n e Shillingford and Sulieman Benn had provided a cameo 10th-wicket partnership for the crowd, belting 82 runs from 56 balls before Benn was caught by wicketkeeper BJ Watling from parttime spinner Kane Williamson for 25 with two

Shillingford was left 53 McCullum had earlier not out, having scored the declared New Zealand's secsecond-fastest Test half-cen-

ond innings on 156 for eight, pushing the tourists to a lead of over 400 runs. Craig ended up scoring the final runs after having belted a six on the first ball he faced in Test cricket.

Southee had earlier reduced the hosts to 15-2 at tea when he captured Kieran Powell for a duck and the dangerous Chris Gayle for 10 before Craig took over in the elongated final session.

The off-spinner captured two wickets in an over when he had Darren Bravo caught behind for 12 and then Marlon Samuels caught at forward short leg for a two-ball duck, the batsman making his first pair in Test cricket.

Sodhi had the obstinate Shivnarine Chanderpaul trapped lbw for 24 with about an hour's play remaining before Craig had Kemar Roach (19) caught behind.

Sodhi then bowled West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin for 34 and had Jerome Taylor caught by wicketkeeper BJ Watling for 19 before Shane Shillingford and Benn produced their cameo.

New Zealand, resuming on 14 for two, began the day poorly with Taylor taking two wickets in two balls before the tourists

Brazil ‘ready’ for football World ...

From Backpage

Brazil has seen a year of protests against bad governance and perceived excessive spending on the World Cup. Metro strikes are also threatening to disrupt the opening game in Sao Paulo.

The head of the World Cup local organising committee, Ricardo Trade, told the BBC that while a strike would be “a nightmare”, the authorities were prepared and “inside the stadium, it will be a show”.

He insisted that Brazil would deliver.

‘FALSE DILEMMA’ Speaking less than 48 hours before the start of the tournament, President Rousseff said that visitors would not be taking away infrastructure projects “in their suitcases”, which would instead remain in the country as a benefit for everyone.

She defended the $11bn expenditure on the tournament, calling it a “false dilemma” that World Cup spending somehow diminished investments in health and education.

The budget for these areas between 2010 and 2013 was many times greater than the investment in stadiums, she added.

“Rest assured of this, the World Cup accounts are being meticulously scrutinised

by the country’s auditing institutions,” she said.

It follows criticism by local residents who say that many promised development projects have been delayed or never materialised.

The World Cup will kick off today with a match between the hosts Brazil and Croatia at the Itaquerao stadium, or Arena Corinthians, in the outskirts of Sao Paulo.

However, work is still continuing to prepare the stadium ahead of the opening match.

Meanwhile, union leaders are threatening to resume a metro strike in Sao Paulo during the tournament if their demands are not met.

They are calling for staff, threatened with dismissal for their involvement in strike-related disturbances, to be reinstated, A five-day stoppage that began last week caused wide-scale traffic chaos, with fears that a repeat of the disruption could prevent fans and employees from attending group stage matches. The strike was suspended on Monday.

President Rousseff has said she would not allow demonstrations to disrupt the tournament.

Thousands of extra police and soldiers will be deployed to ensure the matches get under way smoothly. (BBC Sport)

‘If you’re going to represent our country, you shouldn’t have to pay to train’ - President Ramotar

By Rawle Toney GUYANA Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) president Nigel Hinds called it “an absurdity and an aberration” but His Excellency President Donald Ramotar called it “nonsense” with regard to the sports local governing body having to pay for the usage of the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

The GABF had paid $32 000 to the National Sports Commission (NSC), as they prepare their male and female teams to represent Guyana at this year’s CBC Championship which bounces off on July 1 in Tortola.

But Hinds had pointed out that while he understands paying to use the venue to host tournaments, it’s not fair for any team to pay while preparing for an international engagement.

“It is an absurdity and an aberration that the GABF is currently paying fees to the National Sports Commission (NSC) for Guyana National Basketball squads to train at a state facility. It is akin to His Excellency President Donald Ramotar paying to occupy the State House,” Hinds said.

At the commissioning of the new basketball court at the West Coast Berbice village of Ithaca, Presi-

dent Ramotar was asked by Chronicle Sport, “Why does the national basketball team have to pay to use the venue to train while preparing to represent this country?”

The President seemed amused. He really couldn’t understand the logic behind having our national team pay to train while preparing to represent Guyana.

“Really? This is the first time I’m hearing about this but that doesn’t sound right to me.

If you’re going to represent our country, you shouldn’t have to pay to train at the venue,” President Ramotar said.

“I will look into it,” he told Chronicle Sport, adding “because if a basketball team going to represent Guyana has to pay to use the venue to train then that’s not right and doesn’t make any sense.”

Presidential Adviser Odinga Lumumba was present while President Ramotar was responding to the question asked and even joined in, saying, “This is the first time I’m even hearing about that. That’s not right if that’s the case; because they are going to represent Guyana they should get to use the venue for free, but we’ll look into it, don’t worry.”

Chronicle Sport even told the President and Lumumba that they have seen the re-

ceipt given by the NSC to the GABF for payment and the two again said, “We’ll look into it; it doesn’t make sense.”

Only last week, through the Office of the President, the GABF received $2M from the Government of Guyana to aid in their preparation for the event which will involve several of the region’s best players.

The GABF president, who also represented Guyana in the disciplines of basketball, hockey and table tennis, opined that his feder-

ation “feels it is vitally important now more than ever that we place principle first, especially principles that are consistent with Guyana’s National Interest.”

For the first time since the 2006 tournament that was held in Puerto Rico, Guyana will blend the best of its overseas-based players with local talents to produce what Hinds is hoping to be one of the top contenders for the Caribbean’s version of the NBA Play-Offs.
