Vindictiveness & Myopia - the legacy of Guyana’s 10th Parliament, according to Teixeira

WHEN history is written about the outcome of the 10th Parliament, under the new political dispensation, it would be one of myopia and vindictiveness, according to Presidential Advisor on Governance Ms Gail Teixeira.

Ms Teixeira said when history is written about the 10th Parliament it will be about “meanness” based on what was portrayed by the combined Opposition.

Pointing to the US$450 million, which was cut from the national budgets in 2012, 2013, and 2014, Ms. Teixeira said the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) should explain to Guyanese, if going into an election, this is the change they can look forward to.

“What has come out as the change that the Opposition offered the 10th Parliament and is offering Guyanese as we go towards election is myopia because there is no way that any self-respecting

political party will cut a number of major projects, would cut a budget, would not allow certain bills to go through, quite innocuous actually, defeat them just to show we have the one-seat majority, we can beat you,” she said in an interview with the state media on Friday.

Making reference to a Kaieteur News’ Peeping Tom article about the incumbent not yielding to a national front government which would bring about a change, Ms. Teixeira said the writer “rather disingenuously” played with the word ‘change’.

“We have to remember that the Opposition promised in 2011, and when we went into Parliament in January 2012, that they were offering a new dispensation and this was changed and they had the one seat more and Guyanese would see the results of this major change.” In fact, Ms. Teixeira pointed out that the change turned out to be some disturbing facts.

“For example, in the 9th Parliament, we passed 140 bills over the period 2006 to November 2011, and many of these bills the Opposition had an input, despite the fact that the Government had the majority…the clear majority,” she said, adding that the Opposition presented amendments to a number of bills and these were negotiated and passed in the House.

In contrast, she said the 10th Parliament has an abysmal record as from it gestation from January 2012 to the period of July 10, the last sitting, only 37 bills were passed, 9 bills were defeated by the Opposition and 4 bills were not assented to.

“So when they talk about ‘change’ is this what they are offering the Guyanese people?

The change where important legislation is defeated, that has cost Guyana extraordinarily in terms of the financial investment and also its image internationally,” Teixeira posited.

Citing some examples,

Ms Teixeira spoke of the Customs Amendment Bill that had to do with the environmental tax, which in its early days encouraged local companies to become more competitive and mature.

Ms Gail Teixeira, Presidential Advisor on Governance However, a Surinamese company (Rudisa Beverages) took the Government to court and this proved costly for the Government. It took the Bill to be amended in 2013 and this failed and again in 2014, and still failed.

This has cost Guyana millions of US dollars because the Caribbean Court of Justice ruled that Guyana must pay as this tax is discriminatory.

“Just take a simple thing like that which we brought twice, we argued on the floor, had discussions, dialogue… they didn’t even allow the bill to have the second reading, they killed it right at that point so they didn’t even allow the debate,” she reminded.

Another example she cited is the non-passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) bill and the Customs Amendment bill.

“We are on the grey list… you cannot come off that list easily…in the meantime it has impacted on business, it has impacted on people having foreign exchange, sending money or receiving money. The consequence to business hasn’t been measured as yet but certainly businesses are saying there are a number of problems they are encountering.”

Both of these scenarios, she noted have cost the country financially, while tarnishing its image on the international front.

Speaking about utterances by the combined Opposition on major transformational projects being reviewed if they get into government, Guyanese, she said, should understand that this means slowing down the progress of the country.

She reminded of the discussions between no less a person than the President, and the Opposition Leader and the reneging of the first two agreements; one of which was the increase in the tariff for Linden.

If given the much needed support, Ms Teixeira said the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) expansion project would have been more advanced and the Specialty hospital would have been nearing completion. These were regrettably denied their budgetary allocations.

Fortunately, the Marriott Hotel will soon be opened and will see hundreds of Guyanese being gainfully employed. However, she said it is sad that the Amaila Falls Hydro project did not receive the support from the combined Opposition, as this project would bring benefits to all Guyanese.

“These entire transformative projects which have come about because the Government has liberalised the opportunities for businesses, in particular foreign investments, are all these things going to be under the APNU m i c ro s c o p e a n d w h a t will be the results?” she wondered.

After long courtship, marriage consummated on Valentine’s Day as…

APNU, AFC strike alliance deal - Granger presidential candidate, Nagamootoo PM

- President Ramotar says coalition comes as ‘no surprise’ ‘This charade has been going on for a long time…this is just a formality of what has been expected for a while’ – President

By Mark Ramotar and Gary Eleazar THE long courtship came to a formal end yesterday (Valentine’s Day) following the much-anticipated ‘marriage of convenience’ between A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC).

Three years after bitterly contesting against each other in the 2011 General and Regional Elections, the political coalition APNU and the AFC have joined forces in a move intended to oust the incumbent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) from office come May 11, 2015 when Guyanese head to the polls.

But Guyanese Head of State, President Donald Ramotar, deems news of the merger as “no surprise”.

In fact, the President, in an invited comment last evening,

told the Chronicle that what the two Opposition parties have done was only to formalise their relationship, as they had been in an informal coalition against government for a long time now, especially over the past three years.

The President said that, given the track record of the combined Opposition, the marriage of convenience, as announced yesterday, Valentine’s Day, by the Combined Opposition, was expected.

“The charade has been going on for a long time…this is just a formality of what has been expected for a while,” President Ramotar told the Chronicle.

“It is not surprising to me…the AFC and APNU have always been working together, like two peas to a pod, both inside and outside of Parliament. In Parliament they have voted almost 100 percent in favour

of each other, and against the Government. Together they have tried everything to stymie Guyana’s growth and development…,” the President commented.

He made mention of the fact that, just recently, the APNU and AFC came together on the ‘no confidence’ motion; as well as joining hands to prevent the passage in the National Assembly of the crucially important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) bill.

elections fielding a single list of candidates.

The announcement at a packed news conference came ahead of any specifics, such as party name, symbol and regional arrangements, among other issues.

It was, however, announced that the APNU/ AFC merger would field David Granger as its Presidential Candidate, while Moses Nagamootoo would be fielded as the Prime

would also fall under the direct stewardship of the President.

The President would also delegate responsibilities to the Prime Minister. Among those delegated responsibilities would be domestic national affairs and chairing Cabinet, recommending ministerial appointments and providing the organisational structures of ministries for the approval of the president; overseeing domestic security as well as

‘CUMMINGSBURG ACCORD’ Under the ‘Cummingsburg Accord,’ Opposition Leader David Granger joined the AFC leadership yesterday in the Campbell Room of the Georgetown Club to formally announce that the two parties would be contesting the 2015 General and Regional

Opposition Presidential Candidate Brigadier (rtd) David Granger is seen here with Prime Ministerial Candidate Moses Nagamootoo Ministerial Candidate.

The merger of these two parties would usher in an entirely new regime of Government should it succeed to gain office. As announced

by Granger, “In the construct of a new Government, the APNU would be allocated one Vice President and the AFC two Vice Presidents, (all) of whom would be members of the Cabinet.”

The coalition also proposes to reorganise the role of the President. According to Granger, the President would hold the portfolio of Head of State, and would be Head of Government and Commander-in-Chief, having responsibility for the appointment of constitutional agencies and commissions.

Foreign Affairs, International Relations, National Security Policy, the Defence Board, the Joint Intelligence Committee and other such organisations

appointing heads of agencies and non-constitutional commissions.

While discussions between the two parties are yet to be concluded, Granger said it has been broadly agreed that there would be a 60/40 makeup of the cabinet in favour of APNU. Financing for the election campaign would also be split along the 60/40 ratio.

It was proposed also that the posts of Speaker of the National Assembly and representatives of the list would be chosen by consensus, with involvement of civil society. Granger told reporters that this mechanism would be used as a form of conflict resolution, should that situation arise in future.

R e p o r t e d l y, w h i l e both parties went into the negotiations with maximum positions, compromises were made. One such compromise

saw the AFC’s choice for presidential candidacy of the merger, Moses Nagamootoo, having to cede that post to Granger.

AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan told media operatives that the AFC had intended to lead this new APNU/AFC coalition, but because the powers of the Prime Minister would be greatly increased, the party saw a satisfactory alternative in ceding the post of Presidential Candidate to APNU. “This is a historic and watershed political development for our c o u n t r y, a s t h i s n e w electoral alliance moves to put Guyana on the correct path, where all Guyanese, regardless of ethnicity, can feel fully motivated and be proud of his or her nation, and is afforded the opportunity to make meaningful contribution to the society while successfully caring for themselves and family,” Granger declared.

Reiterating that negotiations are yet to be concluded, Granger told those present: “The work has just begun, and we have no time to lose. Starting immediately, the general secretaries of both parties will commence the process of combining our campaign teams into one unbeatable electoral machine to secure the victory this country urgently demands of us.”

He pointed out that while APNU had planned to launch its campaign independent of the AFC, the ‘Cummingsburg Accord’ changes this, and the two parties will now be looking to launch a single campaign.

The APNU negotiating team included Carl Greenidge, Joseph Harmon, Basil Williams, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine and Keith Scott, while the AFC team included David Patterson, Dominique Gaskin and Rajendra Bissessar.

Patterson told reporters that the negotiating teams will continue to meet to iron out all of the activities associated with preparing a single list.

Guyana’s school dropout rates have been remarkably reduced - even as Caribbean records a 20% higher dropout rate than LAC region

EVEN as the Caribbean is recording a worrying 20% higher school dropout rate than other countries in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) Region, Guyana has been pleasantly and consistently over the last few years been recording a remarkable reduction in the number and proportion of students who drop out.

In a study published by the Inter-American Development bank (IDB ) titled: ‘At Risk Youth- An Urgent Challenge for the Caribbean’, it was noted that "School dropout rates in the Caribbean are up to 20% higher than the average in LAC….

Alcohol and drug abuse, early and/or unprotected sex, low academic performance, school desertion, crime, delinquency and violence are all examples of what is known today as risky behaviour. Even though these issues are prevalent across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), data suggest that some Caribbean countries, such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, and Barbados, require particular attention…

Factors that contribute to this behaviour are known as risk factors and include poverty, lack of opportunities, no significant bonds with adults, lack of a connection with educational institutions, and the presence of cultural values that encourage and reinforce risky behaviour. Factors that may reduce the onset of risky behaviour, which are protective factors, include close emotional ties with at least one adult, a sense of safety and belonging to an educational institution, strong social skills, ability to solve problems, and a sense of purpose and independence.”

Another IDB study from 2012 titled ‘Why Students Drop Out’ pointed out that: "…In recent years, access to education has improved significantly in Latin America.

Primary education is virtually universal throughout the region. However, nearly half of the students in Latin America do not finish secondary school…”

The salient points of that study showed: • In every single Latin American country, the gap between rich and poor students persists • Over half of youth in rural areas do not complete 9 years of school • More than 40 percent of indigenous youth between the ages of 12 and 17 are not in school • It is estimated that only 20 percent to 30 percent of all children and youth with disabilities in the Region attend school; most of them never finish high school In this prevailing world and regional environment, Guyana has been not only holding her own in terms of keeping students in school but has actually been both attracting as well as keeping more students in school than in the history of the country, the Ministry of Education said in a comprehensive statement issued yesterday.

A far smaller proportion of students drop out here than the Caribbean average and a far smaller proportion drop out now than before. The numbers and proportion of students dropping out have been on a pleasing and consistent decline and the Ministry of Education is very happy, although not contented with, the success the country has enjoyed so far in reducing the dropout rate.

The realities on the ground which are recorded in the Education Ministry’s yearly digest, which is available on the world wide web, bears out the fact that a smaller proportion of students are dropping out and points happily to the fact that more boys are being retained in the formal education system, resulting in more of our young people than ever before having the opportunity to be prepared to be productive, successful adults.

To substantiate this fact, the Education Ministry also provided a table (seen on this page) which shows this clearly.

It shows that in the last 20 years Guyana has reduced the proportion of children dropping out at the general secondary level by more than 75 percent. What is even more remarkable and of note is that this dropout rate decreased even as the number of students enrolling in General Secondary Schools increased by more than 30,000.

What is yet even more remarkable is that this increase in enrollment in secondary education is happening at a time when our school aged population is declining, as we believe the latest census will show.

Similar good news is true for the children who are not in general secondary schools but who are in the secondary departments of primary schools. Understanding that discreet secondary schools is a more conducive learning environment, we have more than halved the number of children in secondary departments of primary schools and we have significantly

lowered the proportion of children dropping out at this level.

So what has Guyana been doing that has made this remarkable reduction in dropout rate possible?

The Ministry of Education credits a number of factors that contributed to this notable progress.

Education officials are of the strong view that Guyana has in many regards significantly reduced, and in some cases completely removed, the risk factors that lead to the risky behaviours which the studies show lead to students dropping out.

Some of the factors that have contributed to the remarkable reduction of the proportion of children dropping out of secondary school are as follows: • According to World Bank studies, the country has reduced poverty by half, thereby, in a literal sense, empowering more parents to send their children to school, feed them, clothe them, transport them and additionally not need them to work early to help out financially at home.

• A political commitment to developing Guyana through educating and developing her people and that commitment being matched by budgetary allocations of an average of 15% of the National Budget and approximately 5% of the country’s GDP has allowed the Ministry of Education to make many of the improvements that will be mentioned hereafter, all of which collectively worked to reduce our dropoutrate.

• The attainment of universal primary education (MDG # 2) and the provision of 90 percent access to secondary education by actually physically constructing more schools and classrooms, building and providing dormitory facilities, providing transportation to students especially in the Hinterland and deep riverine communities, have allowed students to have more access to schools and to safely learn and feel a sense of belonging to their educational institution.

• The strong socially conscious interventions, such as the provision of snacks or hot meals to all students from at least nursery to grade two, the provision of uniforms for all students across the country, the free provision of exercise books and text books, the provision of transportation for students to go to and from school, are all factors that contributed to the large reduction in the proportion of children leaving school without completing a full secondary education cycle.

• The conversion to general secondary schools - of Community High Schools - which had come to be regarded as the school for failures and stigmatised as slow or academically weak and therefore made them feel like failures and disconnected and excluded from the education system; and the amalgamation of primary tops into discreet secondary schools may also be major factors responsible for the falling drop-out rate.

• The expansion of the Ministry’s Arts programmes where most secondary schools are now offering one or more subjects in Art, Sport or Physical Education has contributed to the system catering for a wide variety of interest and has resulted in more students completing their secondary education • Changes in the traditional delivery of education allowing for, inter alia, more specialised interests being pursued now by students. Traditional subjects as well as technical vocational education are being offered formally in all of the nation’s high schools. Through the introduction of the Secondary Competency Certificate Programme (SCCP) in more than half of our secondary schools and the establishment of Practical Instruction Centres across the country, students are able to receive formal certification for their acquired skills, with the knowledge that they would be able to continue training and be certified in a post-secondary institution in one of the many Technical Vocation Centres established across the regions of Guyana. This, we believe, has contributed significantly to our country’s ability to retain commendably more children, and in particular boys, so that they could complete their secondary education.

There is still work to be done. As long as there is one child who leaves school without completing a full secondary cycle, we believe there is dedicated work that must happen.

We are committed to doing that work and, while we invite stakeholders to partner with us, we have shown that we can be trusted to do that work with a verifiable record that shows we have been doing it for all the time that we could. However, as may have been noted in the relevant studies, the effort to keep children in school to finish a cycle of secondary education is not at all dependent only on the government or on a particular ministry. It has to be a collective societal effort. There are identified factors in the various studies that would work to prevent students dropping out. In the IDB study they were called protective factors, and they include close emotional ties with at least one adult, a sense of safety and belonging to an educational institution, strong social skills, ability to solve problems, and a sense of purpose and independence.

All of Guyana, but in particular, political parties are hereby called upon to resist the urge to use these figures and facts only for cheap, opportunistic purposes at this time or at all. We are asking them to partner with us by working with their constituencies to help to create and establish some of the protective factors. For example, political parties can work with their constituents, people who we would hope believe in those parties, to explain the importance of children developing strong emotional ties with at last one adult and the ways that those strong ties might come about and be developed and the benefits thereof. Political parties can work with the children of their constituents to help to develop in them a sense of purpose and independence and to instill in them strong social skills.

Guyana has done indisputably well. The Ministry of Education invites all of Guyana to be as proud as we are of these accomplishments.

Elderly Berbice man suffers heart attack at news of APNU/AFC coalition

- pronounced dead on arrival at hospital

ROSIGNOL, West Coast Berbice resident Ramnauth, popularly known as ‘Thana’, 67, suffered a massive heart attack yesterday, allegedly after hearing the news of an agreed coalition between the Alliance For Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

He was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in Berbice last evening.

‘Thana’ was reportedly at a ‘bottom house’ meeting in Rosignol, held by the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) as part of its ongoing outreaches.

Member of Parliament (MP) Neil Kumar told the Guyana Chronicle last evening that, prior to the man’s death, Ramnauth was a vibrant contributor to discussions at that meeting.

“He was sharing his tales about Mr. Nagamootoo as a politician and the unanswered questions left

hanging by Mr. Granger. He disagreed with the idea of a coalition. He was upset that Mr. Nagamootoo said he would give 11 percent of the Indian votes to APNU. He said that publicly. He could not take the news that Mr. Nagamootoo would align himself with Mr. Granger.

This was something he was lamenting,” Kumar told this newspaper via telephone.

Kumar added that, at about 5:15pm, the news

of an agreed coalition between the AFC and APNU broke, and it was at this point that Ramnauth collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.

“When he collapsed, we rendered assistance to him as much as possible.

We rushed him to the hospital, but he did not make it. His family was deeply distressed at his passing,” Kumar said.

MP Kumar has since extended his sympathies to the family and friends of the late 67-year-old Ramnauth. This incident caused postponement of the PPP meeting, it being rescheduled for a later date.

A top GRA official, Sean, who was also at the meeting when the incident occurred, spoke with the Chronicle via telephone, substantiating the story.

Guyana

An unfolding political conspiracy - focus now on WPA in anti-gov’t alliance

APART from the non-surprise announcement of the AFC’s Moses Nagamootoo as Prime Ministerial running mate for the PNC/APNU’s David Granger as Presidential candidate for the settled anti-PPP/C election coalition front, one issue of immediate relevance for discussion would most likely focus on the future role of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA).

As a perceived uncomfortable (?) post-Walter Rodney ally of convenience for the PNC, the WPA’s continued role as a partner of APNU would most likely now come under deserving critical

scrutiny in an expanded anti-PPP/C electoral front.

Moreso, perhaps, in view of recurring startling information already in the public domain from the quite revealing sessions conducted by the independent high-level Commission of Inquiry headed by Sir Richard Cheltenham.

The Commission’s official findings are yet to come.

One could perhaps be gracious in observing that however challenging, intellectually and spiritually, it may have been for the WPA’s Dr Rupert Roopnarine to function as deputy chairman of a PNC-controlled

The PNC destroyed Guyana - a response to Michael Hope

IN response to Michael Hope’s asinine letter “The PNC had Achievements,” it seems we have another revisionist historian in our midst.

Notwithstanding consecutive election victories since the restoration of democracy, the PPP Government continues to be on the receiving end of blatant misinformation and outrageous political commentaries; where their lyrics express fury that the PPP/C Party remains in Government.

Hope’s letter states “Let me mention some of the PNC achievements during

their leadership: the Linden Highway, the Demerara Harbour Bridge, the Canje Bridge, President’s College, the NIS, the construction of the Umana Yana in 1972, and the Guyana Rice Marketing Board that was disbanded in 1993 by the PPP/C. The Amerindians were given land titles in accordance with the 1966 constitution.

In the PNC era schoolboys went to the city to play school cricket that does not exist now; we travelled all the way from Region One.” What it didn’t state was The World

APNU, with ex-GDF Brigadier David Granger as chairman, the political charade cannot be sustained without further diminishing the remnant of political integrity associated with a once glorious people’s movement while Rodney lived.

For his part, the PNC’s leader, Granger, has already publicly declared, in his capacity as APNU’s chairman, to launch the official start of the coming May 11 elections campaign on February 20 to coincide with the birth anniversary of the late PNC founder-leader and former Executive President.

Bank’s Group Report of 1994. The Report, referring to the 1988-1992 period, noted: “The government’s capacity to deliver essential services has virtually collapsed. Infrastructure remains severely dilapidated. The supply of potable water is limited to a small proportion of the population, drainage and irrigation systems have deteriorated to the point that they are no longer useful, and health and education services have become so inadequate that social indicators for the country have fallen to among the lowest in the Caribbean.” This Report, indeed, dismissed the so-called gains from the ERP. In fact the Economic Recovery Programme (ERP) meant nothing more than Empty Rice Pots for the Guyanese people.

Concessional lending met its debt

What a political show! How insensitive can some politicians be to the feelings of the Guyanese people - across political boundaries - who had to live with the shame and sufferings resulting from documented electoral fraud and political dictatorship that became a political way of life under the long, suffering era of governance - Burnham style!

We shall return to this issue later.

For now we would continue monitoring an apparent orchestrated unfolding political conspiracy amid plenty fanciful talk about democracy and “better governance.”

obligations and increased economic growth rates between 1993 and 1997; but the sordid and disturbing impact of social infrastructural devastation at the 1992 baseline, urgently required a new dynamic and comprehensive strategy to sustain Guyana’s debt burden, if the masses were to receive any meaningful social services. Those like Michael Hope who think that Guyana was in fine shape in 1992 and prior need to re-examine their conclusion as when the PNC demitted office in 1992 it left a debt ridden bankrupt country.

Billions of dollars were expended by both pre-1992 PNC governments on projects which failed miserably with nothing being left to show.

CEDRIC LORD

Corruption and mismanagement have claimed yet another victim in the AFC CORRUPTION and mismanagement have claimed yet another victim in the small Alliance For Change (AFC) party, this time its former General Secretary Sixtus Edwards. It’s a shame the way this selfless individual of irrefutable character was treated by a party which promised ‘change’; all for insisting that it practises what it preaches.

Edwards joins a long list of individuals who have left after differences with the party’s leadership over various issues. Another soon to be departed is stalwart Gerhard Ramsaroop whose noticeable absence has been pointed out by many.

These days the AFC appears to be a shell of its former self as what was once a

vibrant collective group of leaders is now replaced by a small self-centred clique which has on its front burner the fulfilment of Moses Nagamootoo’s presidential dream.

As the party negotiates to formalise its union with the PNC’s APNU one therefore has to ask what really is it bringing to the table other than the 11% Indo-Guyanese promised by

Moses Nagamootoo. I wish to commend Sixtus Edwards for remaining steadfast to his principles and not allowing himself to be succumbed by the duplicitous and hypocritical politics practised by some of his now former colleagues.

Cellphones, narcotics, sharp instruments recovered

- as Joint Services raid Camp Street Prison

By Leroy Smith

AS several high-profile activities approach including Guyana’s republic anniversary celebration and General and Regional Elections, the Joint Services are leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that proper security arrangements are in place and there are no threats to citizens even from behind the walls of the Camp Street Prison in Georgetown.

The Joint Services yesterday conducted a massive, in-depth search of the Camp Street jail in keeping with the security posture in the lead-up to these national events.

The search, which reportedly lasted for more than five hours, saw the lawmen coming up with items which were found within the prison walls and which are prohibited. Among those were mobile phones, small amounts of narcotics,

Victims regardless of age must be allowed to have their say and their votes APNU’s Joe Harmon wants the Law amended so that “Prisoners should be allowed to vote”. This poor clown, Harmon, is clutching at straws these

days in order the get Afro-Guyanese criminal votes.

Harmon and PNC want to legalise ‘dope’ (marijuana) to get votes. Take

a serious look at the prison population and take another serious look at those who smoke the ‘ganja spliff’.

If Harmon wants convicted criminals who give up their rights to even life, to vote, then the victims of these crimes must be allowed to cast their vote twice, regardless of age, then it will be fair.

Like for instance the

babies that were gunned down in their beds in their sleep, their parent/s must be allowed to cast their votes twice for those babies for the party of the parents’ choice.

Let’s see how Joe Harmon deals with that since victims should have more rights than that of criminals.

APNU/AFC ‘Valentine Day’ coalition for May 11 poll Analysis by Rickey Singh

AT the time of writing this column yesterday afternoon, intense political maneuverings for a pre-election antiPeople’s Progressive Party front for the coming May 11 general elections, were still underway.

The signals were, however, pointing more towards a likely integrated coalition between A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC).

Nevertheless if, as now expected, this long elusive Opposition unity front does materialise, it would be more the result of the politics of desperation by the leadership of both parties that have come to recognise their failures to separately impress the electorate in time for the coming May 11 General and Regional elections.

The shared hope of David Granger (PNC leader and APNU chairman - and the AFC’s Khemraj Ramjattan), is that they could have demonstrated sufficient ‘political love’ on ‘Valentine Day’ yesterday to make a reality of the structure of their ‘unity front’ in time for meaningful communication with the electorate to form an anti-PPP coalition government.

That’s quite a challenge, to judge from their separate and collective performances at the November 2011 elections when, with more financial resources, newer faces and, more importantly, the PNC doing its best to clean up its image from a controversial political past.

The end result was the incumbent PPP/C retaining the big constitutional Executive President prize though, for the first time ever, losing by one seat an overall parliamentary majority in the 65-member National Assembly.

GRANGER’S “BURNHAM” FACTOR Overcoming recurring hurdles to widen its economic social and cultural gains traceable to its return to democratic governance in October 1992, was undoubtedly quite challenging for the PPP administration under President Donald Ramotar.

It clearly had more than enough of systematic opposition with the perceived APNU/AFC’s misuse of their combined one-vote majority to continuously block major fiscal, economic and social policies. Hence, the prorogation in November last year and, finally, dissolution of parliament for the coming elections on May 11.

Then arose leadership and campaign financing challenges for both APNU and AFC with the latter moving up front to present ex-PPP ‘comrade’ Moses Nagamootoo, as its Presidential candidate; while Ramjattan remained as party leader and perceived primary ‘strategist’, with Nigel Hughes in a seemingly decorative position as party chairman.

Beyond what the combined Opposition have in common against a return to governance for a fifth consecutive term, though based on recognised free and fair elections, the APNU/ AFC’s anti-PPP/C politics in Parliament have accumulated a significant record in opposing major policies to affect Guyana’s further economic and social development.

When the official campaigning gets underway, we would no doubt be reminded of such occurrences between the last (20ll) general elections and end of the Tenth Guyana Parliament.

Of immediate interest, however, following declaration of the expected APNU/AFC anti-PPP election coalition, would

be the intriguing initiative by PNC leader Granger to launch with fanfare his party’s election campaign on Tuesday, February 20 to coincide with the birth anniversary of that party’s founding leader and first Executive President, the late Forbes Burnham.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 15, 2015

Strange, puzzling and contradictory things do occur in party politics. But given the history of consistent electoral fraud at national elections by the PNC, it is quite intriguing that the retired GDF Brigadier who heads that party should think it a plus to link the start of APNU’s election campaign with President Burnham’s birth anniversary.

For now, I await to learn the details of the official announcement of the APNU/AFC anti-PPP elections ‘unity’ front.

Taking the Pulse Series, Part 1…

PUBLIC TRUST Contribution from Lawrence Lachmansingh, David Singh & Kojo Parris

For nearly a decade, Saint Stanislaus College alumni Lawrence Lachmansingh, David Singh & Kojo Parris have been exchanging views around their enduringly common interest: Guyana.

In embracing differences of opinions, our interactions continue to be robust, respectful and empathic. Perhaps the quality of our exchanges comes from our bonding at our alma mater, but we have also come to recognise that our differences are opportunities for growth. More recently, we have begun to realise that our commitment to fact-based argumentation is a key reason we are able to argue passionately but with civility, and almost always arrive at a wiser conclusion than we began with.

We have therefore decided to model three pieces of analysis on the above experience at a national level, where much of the important discourse often inflames passions with little reference to the facts at hand. These pieces will be focused on the issues of trust, corruption and violence. We will strive to offer zero 'answers', while presenting the data in accessible, dispassionate, maybe even boring, prose.

We certainly cannot claim to have conclusively resolved any of the challenges Guyana faces, but we hope to contribute towards the forging of a wider, more comprehensive and trusting consensus on some key issues. Indeed, we know that to create policy, rigorous assessment of existing data and contextualising within a regional and global environment would be required.

If this effort proves fruitful in stirring fact-based public argumentation we will consider similar pieces in the future.

To assist us, we have tapped the University of Vanderbilt’s Latin America Public Opinion Project (LAPOP). This survey of public opinion has been conducted in Guyana since 2006 and is perhaps the only such comprehensive dataset available.

We consider that it is sufficiently objective to be used widely and without any serious challenge to its credibility. The dataset is available free of charge at The AmericasBarometer by the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), www.

Lawrence David Singh Kojo Parris Lachmansingh LapopSurveys.org.We thank the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) and its major supporters (the United States Agency for International Development, the United Nations Development Programme, the Inter-American Development Bank, and Vanderbilt University) for making the data available.

We have worked also with an analyst from Corruption Watch in South Africa, unconnected to our part of the world, to analyse the data.

For those who wish to share their thoughts on these pieces, we may be reached via e-mail at 3Guyanese@gmail.com.

Finally, we debated postponing this series until after the May 11 elections. Since these pieces do not impact on any particular political party, we agreed to move forward now.

THERE are three current systems of our democracy that are the subject of much attention: the national police, the justice system, and the national legislature. The Guyana Elections Commission, the national agency that serves as the chief steward of our electoral process has also received some attention and most recently, the media has reported that the Chair of the Commission expressed concern over the seeming distrust that people may have in its work.

We examine data from the LAPOP Survey to assess changes in trust in National Police, the Justice System, the National Legislature, and Elections over the period 2006 to 2014. In the survey, the public was asked to assess the level of trust in the respective public institutions on a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 representing “not at all”, and 7 representing “a lot”. The consolidated table is presented below, with an illustration of part of the results in graphical form. Our main points follow.

Firstly, more people surveyed have no trust in the national police compared with any of the other institutions reviewed, except for trust in Elections in 2006. The percentage of those surveyed who have no trust in the national police more than doubled from 2006 to 2014, moving from 13.9% in 2006 to 32.7% in 2014.“No trust” in the Justice System has also more than doubled from 9.7% in 2006 to 22.6% in 2014.

Secondly, of the population surveyed over the period under review, the smallest portion expressed no trust in the National Legislature, when compared to the other institutions, recording a low of 5.7% in 2012.

Thirdly, trust in all of the institutions, measured by the decrease in percentage of “low trust” (scores 1-2) and increase in percentage of “high trust” (scores 6-7), improved in 2012. However, the gains in 2012 were totally reversed and substantially worsened in 2014 compared to any other year surveyed. Only in regard to Elections, was lack of trust relatively close between 2006 and 2014 (26.2% and 27.7% respectively).

These initial findings and a more detailed analysis of the data would have us ask: 1. Have we truly lost the gains in trust we made in 2012, by 2014?

2. Flagging public trust in these important pillars cannot be a strong foundation for cementing our democracy, as we approach our 50th Jubilee Year. What will it take to retrieve the level of trust we enjoyed less than a decade ago or even better it?

3. Can we continue to experience this downward trend in trust without reaching a tipping point, and lose all the gains that we have made since we became a nation?

Government open for engagement - ‘It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a Free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services, to the defense of it’ - George Washington

By Shaun Michael Samaroo

WHEN we make moral judgments, we must first search for understanding, for engaging each other from the heart, seeing the intention and motive of the people with whom we connect.

Our nation stands at a crucial juncture of its history, with just a year to go to celebrate our 50th anniversary as an Independent people, and a novel nation on the earth. We are writing our story in the history book of humanity, this Guyanese nation birthed on May 26, 1966.

But, in our 49th year, we must overcome some serious misconceptions of who we are as a unique people on the world stage, in this 21st century.

We underestimate how much we actually share in common.

The 10th Parliament descended from its lofty promise of a new paradigm, a new political engagement, into a quarrelsome, tired, complaining, rowdy cussdown, with every State project shut down, including the Amaila Hydro project, and the Anti-Money laundering laws left in limbo.

We descended to such lows because we insist on misconceiving who we are as Guyanese. For, in fact, we are a united, cohesive, peaceful, prosperous, hardworking, progressive people. In the past two decades, despite serious setbacks and bad stumbling and human mistakes, our nation has much to celebrate.

PRESIDENT DONALD The single most astounding RAMOTAR: OPEN AND ENGAGING success that we’ve achieved as a people is the merger of civic society with the political sector, bringing about a level of engagement very few countries in today’s world experience.

When the Guyana Action for Reform and Democracy (GUARD), comprising trade unions, private sector groups and Non-Governmental Organisations, joined forces with the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), the fore-parent of Guyanese political organisation, we had turned a vitally crucial corner as a people.

For the past 23 years, this civic and political coalition worked well, with our Prime Minister culled from civic society, and working in fine harmony and goodwill with the political side of Government.

We saw the People’s National Congress (PNC) form its own civic component in the Reform arm, which has today collapsed, its members moving on to other concerns.

Now the PNC aligns itself not with civic groups anymore, but with fringe political parties in the hyperbolically-named A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). APNU embraces no civic group in its lopsidedly political partnership.

Even the ambitious Alliance For Change (AFC) has become a hardnosed, rigid political animal, with no civic organisation lining up with it or declaring endorsement of it, although it enjoys widespread support among private media practitioners, including two daily newspapers that unashamedly oppose our freely and fairly elected Government.

CIVIC COALITION But the PPP, to its credit, maintains a strong civic coalition, this union cementing today into a concrete pact, unshakeable and ironclad. The Private Sector Commission, the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and others, today play zero vocal and activist role against Government than they did when we fought against the dictatorship that stifled this nation for so long.

This pact between civic society and the PPP that today underlines the Guyana Government, a classic success talks among the political parties after the 2011 elections story of politicians and citizens merging into workable quickly broke down, as arrogance and pride reared up to block democratic governance, goes way beyond a mere agreement. any possibility of progress: a one-seat majority in Parliament It works in reality, and it has become the modus operandi of is not a bargaining chip, but an opportunity to engage and how the PPP approaches the task of governing. reach out, in respect and good sense.

This spirit of reaching across society to include nonPresident Ramotar faced endless setbacks in his short three political leaders in the process of governance is well years at the Office of the President: budget cuts, Opposition entrenched in how President Donald Ramotar works. Since he discontent over every single project he took on, Parliamentary won the candidacy for the President within the Party before cuts in Amerindian Development and University of Guyana the 2011 elections, he started reaching out to civic groups tuition access, and a host of other ills. Daily, the nation woke and general society, and reports say he met with close to 100 up to hear the Ramotar Government take a verbal hammering groups and engaged them in dialogue. from malcontents and discontents.

Today, President Ramotar remains open and accessible, Our country’s ongoing problems with widespread easily engaging with the rest of the country, whether in corruption, across the entire society, and with inadequate bottom-house meetings in the villages, or at Office of the public accounting systems and inefficiency in the Justice President, where his door remains open to the nation. system, these became fodder at which the national media fed We take this giant blessing, this spirit of engagement and reaching out, so much for Former Auditor General, Dr Anand Goolsarran, a vociferous public critic granted. We never talk of it, of Government’s accounting system, this weekend scrapped any idea for or mention the success of him to form a political party. It would be in the interest of the nation were Dr the civic alignment with the Goolsarran to offer his services to President Ramotar.

PPP political machinery in Even the AFC would signal its concern for the welfare of the Guyanese governing this Guyanese nation with an open, engaging attitude towards President Ramotar and his Government. society.

In fact, one feels confident that were APNU to approach President Ramotar But the Guyana and his team with a humble, workable idea to play a role in Government, Government is open for the President would welcome it. Had the Opposition adopted this tone and business, and is now reaching spirit of coalition, instead of mere rhetoric of alliances and partnerships, in out to attract the professional the 10th Parliament, how different a nation we would be today, instead of skills that our country needs sitting on the edge waiting for national elections. to leap up to the next level in its current development trajectory. daily, regurgitating story after story of Government failings, In President Ramotar, the Guyanese nation has a political demoralising citizens, fostering a Guyanese homeland of leader that acutely recognises that we cannot develop Guyana uninspiring public conversations. if we depend on politicians alone. Like Dr Cheddi Jagan, who, Many of those who complain and propagate verbal noise upon becoming President in 1992 invited people from across vent either personal frustrations, or cannot engage and network the society to engage together in building the new Guyanese with Government and its officials to air their grievances. society, including Dr Clive Thomas, Dr Henry Jeffrey, Sam President Ramotar faced the vexing problem of lack of Hinds and numerous others, President Ramotar today reaches local government elections, which perpetuate a City and Town out to the wider society for the skills, expertise and leadership Council in Georgetown that daily reduces our capital city to that would propel us forward. the worst Capital in the Caribbean.

Government open for engagement From page 10 successes. And the foundation success is this abiding civicpolitical coalition that forms the Guyanese Government today, with President Ramotar’s style of humility and that easy way of reaching out and engaging the society making him ideally suited for this civic-political pact.

ENGAGING PRESIDENT RAMOTAR Former Auditor General, Dr Anand Goolsarran, a vociferous public critic of Government’s accounting system, this weekend scrapped any idea for him to form a political party. It would be in the interest of the nation were Dr Goolsarran to offer his services to President Ramotar.

Even the AFC would signal its concern for the welfare of the Guyanese nation with an open, engaging attitude towards President Ramotar and his Government.

In fact, this spirit of engagement rests not only with the President, but with many of the Ministers, including Dr Frank Anthony, whose work at the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture has reached across all sectors of the society, to embrace every facet of youth, sport and culture. Despite myopic and narrow criticisms of his leadership, Dr Anthony has led from the front to launch key initiatives, including the Caribbean Press, which has printed over 100 books, including the Parliamentary speeches of the late LFS Burnham, an act of incredible magnanimity and non-partisanship.

In Education, Minister Priya Manickchand reaches across the society to network with parents, teachers and the society at large to improve our education system. It’s a pity her Education Bill couldn’t be a ground breaking achievement of the 10th Parliament.

In Minister Anil Nandlall, whose work as Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs suffered terribly during the 10th Parliament with the non-passage of the Anti-Money laundering laws, we’ve got an accessible, engaging and humble Government leader. He rubs shoulders with people in villages across the country, and genuinely cares about the people he encounters. He has played a key role in opening the Government to fresh professional skills.

It’s quite astonishing that the national media appears

blind to this aspect of President Ramotar’s administration: its openness, engagement and easy access to any Guyanese.

In fact, one feels confident that were APNU to approach President Ramotar and his team with a humble, workable idea to play a role in Government, the President would welcome it.

Had the Opposition adopted this tone and spirit of coalition, instead of mere rhetoric of alliances and partnerships, in the 10th Parliament, how different a nation we would be today, instead of sitting on the edge waiting for national elections.

We will have local government elections and a reformed education system and anti-money laundering legislation, but these will come when we sit around a table, not jockeying to be boss, but allowing the humble and engaging folks among us to lead us forward.

Instead of cultivating this spirit, even as we take it so much for granted as it exists within the Government already, too many disgruntled souls insist on making moral judgments, many times speculating and raising hell about what may or may not be truth.

For example, in an Editorial on President Ramotar’s move to reduce electricity rates for Guyanese citizens, the Stabroek News, that daily newspaper that should stand out as the epitome of responsible journalism in this country, wrote this shocking statement: “The announcement has also raised the trepidation among many that the Guyana Power and Light might be forced to compensate with increased power outages.

Both announcements, while hoped for and welcomed, were definitely at odds with what had been emanating from the Cabinet just prior to this. The impression was that the left hand did not know what the right hand was doing, or that there was forcing of the hand or sleight of hand at work. It was clear that not all hands were on deck where these reductions were concerned.”

In that passive statement “has also raised trepidation among many” that blackouts would increase, the newspaper indulged in propagating sensational, alarmist sentiments, while ignoring the benefits of the price reduction, and proceeded to speculating on disagreements within “Cabinet” among Government members over the reduction. This smacks of amateur journalistic thinking, as disagreements and heated discussions are normal in most meetings, much less serious Government business.

A respected and professional newspaper like the Stabroek News should know better than this, but that’s what the President has had to put up with in his term in office: a relentless irrational rant against him, based solely on partisan sentiment, rather than on sound critical analysis.

Not once has the Stabroek News sought to engage Government at an Editorial meeting, seeking clarification so that its Editorial positions regarding Government are based on fact and not sentiment, on fairness rather than biased partisan emotional reactions.

When we form moral judgments, we must be careful to consider the heart and soul of those we seek to nail to the cross.

The President of the Guyanese nation today believes in engagement, openness and authentic conversation about the problems this society faces, and welcomes solutions from anyone, including civic society.

The PPP has not hugged Government, but shared key sectors with civic society, and reaches out wherever it feels welcomes to make the kind of difference that matters.

We as citizens owe it to President Ramotar to grant him the room to lead this nation, without trying to stifle every move he makes.

We should not judge him at every turn, but learn to see his heart and intention and motive: he cares deeply for the Guyanese nation, and it shows in how he reaches out and engages with people from all walks of life.

Should we grant him full cooperation and trust, as our freely and fairly elected President; should we contribute our shoulder to the wheel for his national development projects to become successful; should we band together and see that the civic and political arms of society actually work well, with reasonable success in governing us, we would become an inspired, motivated, uplifted people, heads held high, a grand and noble people on the world stage of this 21st century global village.

In this attitude of seeing these great pluses in our nation, which we take so much for granted, like the astounding success of the civic-political coalition at work in this current Government, we hold our destiny in our hands, ready to write into reality the future of the Guyanese nation.

Georgetown residents without garbage - in several communities collection services - M&CC owes contractor some $40M

By Telesha Ramnarine CITIZENS in Groups 7 and 8 of the Georgetown wards have been without garbage collection services for the past two weeks because the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) has decided not to pay Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. some $40M for services rendered since last year August.

Group 7 comprises Costello Housing Scheme; West, East and North East La Penitence; Middle Road, La Penitence; Jeeboo Land, and an area known as Extra Nuclear.

Group 8 comprises Queenstown, Alberttown, North and South Cummingsburg, Kingston and Woolford Avenue.

Kalesh Puran, Manager of Puran Brothers Disposal Inc, told the Chronicle yesterday that the company last received payment from the City Council in October 2014, and that was for services performed outside of Groups 7 and 8. He said the company cannot continue doing work without being paid for so many months.

The company has, time and again, checked with the City Treasury's Department but could not secure a proper answer as regards payment, or at least a proposal that they might be able to work with.

“We are hoping for some payment soon. This is an ongoing

issue. It’s a new year (and) we need to move forward. We have been going through this for many years,” Mr Puran said.

Currently, four trucks remain parked, and workers have had to be sent on annual leave. The company values its employees because it often finds difficulty recruiting people

for the job. Puran pointed out also that the trucks were designed for garbage collection, and hence cannot be used in

the meantime for other purposes.

Contacted for a comment on the issue, Acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba would only say that the city councillors have refused to sign the payment vouchers for Puran’s to be paid.

To her knowledge, the councillors have no reason for so doing.

Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green told this newspaper that Sooba is “totally dishonest”, and that the municipality is not aware of any signed contract given to Puran Brothers.

“She (Sooba) of her own decided to give Puran’s the go-ahead. She didn’t bring written contracts because she knew the council would oppose (them). She must come clean on the way they Kalesh Puran were contracted. Puran’s will get paid because he works in good faith, but they are now at a standstill,” Chase-Green said.

Guyana’s economic status creates a sense of well-being and pride - Last year the country continued a trend that makes for good reading: nine successive years of economic growth

A GINA Feature WHEN Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh explained re c e n t l y t h a t G u y a n a can indeed be proud, he did not make an empty boast. He detailed that in the year 2014, the country continued a trend that makes for good reading: nine successive years of economic growth. In the pre-1992 era, Guyana was plummeting deeper into the abyss, and this ascendency and economic turnaround represent a positive reading o f G u y a n a ’s h i s t o r y, bearing in mind that it was at one time deemed a Highly Indebted Poor Country (HIPC).

HEALTHY ECONOMIC ATMOSPHERE What is very noteworthy is the fact that Guyana’s economic growth is being achieved in some very trying circumstances, the minister highlighted. Externally, global financial crises have struck some mighty nations, leading to turbulence at the level of employment and also at the home base. The stories of ‘cutting down’ on expenditures and ‘slashing of jobs’ are all still too common.

Then on the inside, he revisited how the ruling party has been under great duress, from a majority Opposition in the National Assembly, even though its advantage is just by a single seat.

Enjoying and abusing this unprecedented permutation, the combination of namely the Alliance For Change (AFC), and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has sung its mantra of blunting development projects; the two have issued constant reminders that this tenor will not change and that they are even going to make it difficult for investors.

In fact, it should be noted that the crucial Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project has borne the brunt of the onslaught from APNU and AFC. President of Sithe Global, Brian Kubeck, always maintained that “a public-private partnership of this magnitude required a

national consensus. Alluding to the ‘pull out’, he said Sithe Global needed all three parties in Parliament to back two measures for the US$858M project.

However, at a crucial 2013 session of Parliament, the main Opposition APNU, voted against the two Amaila

MINISTER DR ASHNI SINGH measures, even though the AFC had changed its position and voted with the PPP/C. Amidst all of this, by mid-2014, the size of the economy had increased by a whopping 25 percent to $650 billion. Statistics from economic reports show that Guyana has attracted more than US$629 million in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), while credit to the private sector has grown by 41.5 percent to $190.5 billion and total deposits in the commercial banks by 22.1 percent to $334.6 billion.

Minister Singh recapped another negative factor, that is, how the price for gold fell on the international market.

He informed his audience how this had a negative impact on the gold sector.

The same story holds true for sugar, where the decline was a staggering 60 percent.

Where rice is concerned, he explained that the challenge was about jostling for market availability, the unfavourable prices, and late payments.

So to say that Guyana has done well, Dr. Ashni Singh was really making an understatement; Guyana has truly excelled.

In a general analysis, Guyana has been averaging

about 5% in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth each year over some time now, and so it is no wonder that the country continues to attract investors, local and foreign, since they see the country as a ‘hot spot’ to invest and do business in.

FUTURE Dr. Singh, in noting the nine years of consecutive economic growth, not only opined that it was not easy, but he is firm in his conviction that this will not abate as “it remains high on the PPP/C’s agenda.”

“We (the PPP/C) take very seriously our responsibility for ensuring that the economic environment in Guyana will continue to be attractive,” he explained.

This kind of optimism, he stated, is pinned on “Our (PPP/C’s) philosophical position, that is, our duty to create the conditions that are necessary for attracting private investment, stimulating investment by the private sector, and for facilitating growth and expansion, and the creation of jobs, as well as the generation of income.”

According to him, the Government has set about to make Guyana a place for attracting businesses, both for inward foreign investors and also for domestic investors and that “we have seen, I believe, a very tangible demonstration of a favourable response by the investment community, to these favourable conditions that we have created.”

EXAMPLES “We have seen, for example, very significant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in a number of sectors, including sectors like natural resources, extractive industries, gold, bauxite, manganese, oil and gas.”

In fact, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment predicts that between 2015 and 2020, the Government is potentially looking at an average of US$35 million per annum in natural resources revenues.

“The economy is more diversified than it was or

has ever been in history.

Today, our people have more access to social services than they ever had, physical infrastructure is more expansive than it has ever been, and I would say that certainly at the start of the 10th Parliament, investors’ confidence in Guyana was at the highest point than it has ever been in our country’s history.”

Commenting on the strong investors’ interest displayed in Guyana, Dr.

Singh said, “there have been very significant inflows of capital through Foreign Direct Investment, in addition to very significant volumes of domestic investments, both by the corporate sector and the household sector.”

With this kind of fervour and injection, it is not surprising that Dr. Singh declared that “the productive space (now) is a much wider one and that he is most pleased that “the investment

committee has responded as favourable as they have, to the conditions that were created. I would say that the party that I represent in Parliament remains committed to maintaining these conditions, and even further improving them, so that we, the PPP/C, can continue to attract private investments, and we will continue to incentivise and promote private investments to generate growth.”

Mahaicony Creek boat operators trained in Safe Boating Practices BOAT operators from Region 5, especially the Mahaicony Creek area, benefited from a training seminar organised by the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) which was held at the Mahaicony Health Center on January 31, 2015.

The training seminar is part of an ongoing countrywide campaign by MARAD as it seeks to promote safety on the waterways of Guyana and especially for small boat operators.

A total of 20 boat operators from the Mahaicony Creek area participated in the training session.

Safe boating practices including the importance of wearing a life jacket by passengers and operators were some of the topics presented at the seminar. Practical exercises were also conducted. MARAD, in a statement, said it will continue to facilitate programmes such as these throughout Guyana.

THE Kingston (West) Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) group, on Friday, as a part of its Valentine’s Day observances, donated 25 hampers worth approximately $70,000 to patients in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Paediatric Ward.

Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Chairman of the Kingston (West) PYO group, Saeed Baksh, thanked the GPHC for allowing the group to make this initiative possible.

Baksh said the purpose of this initiative is to give back to the youths and brighten their spirits, so as to bring some hope back to them. “The hampers which were donated include stationery, clothing, shoes, food items and so forth,” he said.

Moreover, he said the hampers were solicited through donations which the group had received from various individuals.

He emphasised the fact that they have done this before and this initiative is the second of this nature. Additionally, they plan to do this continuously, because this is their way of giving back to the community.

Also speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of the PYO group, Gaitre Singh, noted that this is the second time the hospital has benefited from an initiative such as this.

Singh disclosed that the joy in giving back to the children is one that cannot be matched by anything else.

“This is something we plan on doing every year, so as to show our continuous support,” she said.

Meanwhile, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Collin Croal, disclosed that on behalf of the steering committee of the PYO, he wishes to commend the PYO for this initiative and activity.

“As you see the timing is one of love, and Valentine is not necessarily within the confines of husbands and wives and boyfriend and girlfriend, but it’s also a time for sharing love generally,” Croal posited. (Navendra Seoraj)

City Inn Suites acquires prestigious GTA certificate of compliance - first entity in Region 6 and in Guyana to achieve this feat

CITY Inn Suites recently acquired its Certificate of Compliance from the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), making that entity the first in Region 6 (East Berbice/Corentyne) to have been GTA certified.

GTA Director Indranauth Haralsingh pointed out that the City Inn Suites has been the first entity to achieve conformity in the Tourism Accommodation Establishment category countrywide, and is also the first to be licensed in Region 6.

This, he noted, was no small achievement for the City Inn Suites, and he encouraged all tourism businesses to follow suit, and

to ensure that they adhere to all set regulations.

In an effort to prepare local businesses to become more competitive, the Ministry of Tourism and the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) are striving to ensure that tourism-related establishments meet the necessary requirements expected by any tourist or visitor visiting any one of the facilities, whether that person is a foreigner or a local resident.

The GTA has, to date, presented certificates of conformity to Wilderness Explorers, Rock View Eco Lodge and Resort, and to the Roraima Tours.

T h e G TA D i r e c t o r

made a special appeal to those businesses that have not yet been registered to recognise the importance of the exercise and the many benefits that attend compliance.

“The first step is to be registered. You may have various reasons, but no business is too small to be registered, especially if people are putting all their faith and trust in you,” he urged.

Alluding to the benefits derivable from achieving 100% compliance, Haralsingh explained that the GTA would be separating these businesses, and will provide on its website a listing that would determine

who gets support in terms of both local and international exposure.

“The GTA’s Act and these regulations say that you need a licence to operate any one of these businesses. We would not want our visitors to have a tourism experience with an unregistered and

unlicensed business,” the GTA Director explained.

During a simple ceremony held recently at the GTA’s Office, City Inn Suites proprietor Krishnandan Jaichand was presented with a Certificate of Compliance.

He expressed his pleasure at becoming the first entity in

Region 6 to be confirmed to the GTA’s standards.

The GTA will continue to monitor and evaluate hospitality institutions across the country in its effort to ensure the Tourism Industry in Guyana continues to grow and expand.

Princess Hotel Guyana receives GTA licence

- under Tourism Accommodation Establishment

THE Princess Hotel Guyana, on February 13, received from the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) license to operate under the Tourism Accommodation Establishment (TAE).

This certification would indeed lift the standards of the hotel, particularly as the entity would soon be rebranded.

In a ceremony at which the certificate was handed over, GTA Director Mr Indranauth Haralsingh related that this is the second such licence to be issued to date.

He deemed this an outstanding achievement for the establishment, and said it should be emulated.

The hotel’s General Manager, Mr. Ugur Turetgen, graciously accepted the licence while noting that it

is a high achievement for the Princess Hotel.

The U.S.-based hotel group Ramada will be spending US$7 million to rebrand the Princess Hotel and Casino at Providence, East Bank Demerara, to R A M A D A G e o rg e t o w n Princess, officials announced on April 15, 2014.

Speaking at a media briefing at that event, Acting Tourism Minister Irfaan Ali said: “We in the Ministry of Tourism and the Guyana Tourism Authority will stand ready in supporting them (RAMADA) to ensure the success of this venture.”

Minister Ali said the rebranding is a major investment in Guyana’s tourism sector, and he acknowledged the commitment of the Princess

Hotel management to improve the local tourism product.

Ali explained that rebranding does not entail only a name change, but a change in the level of services offered. He added that the RAMADA’s services are second to none.

The tourism sector, the minister said, has been gaining traction over the years. He gave recognition to the ability of large investments to foster smaller investments, and said the GTA has been working to drive traffic to all hotels, particularly during offpeak seasons.

The rebranding mission, which came into being following an agreement between the Providence entity and RAMADA -- a

to celebrate this significant juncture in our culture.

The telephone giant sponsored students of the North Georgetown Secondary School, who were dressed in the signature ‘blue’ and wowed the onlookers with their exceptionally radiant outfits and choreographed moves.

Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, told this publication that the Children’s Costume Parade has improved over the years.

She noted that she is happy that the weather did not deter the participants or the spectators from the parade.

“As always it is an excellent collaboration between the Ministry of Education and GT&T. It has been quite successful and there are notably more people and families coming out to view the parade each year,” she commented.

The minister noted that the contribution of corporate Guyana would assist greatly in lifting the standard of the event.

“Of course, we would encourage the involvement of other private sector entities that would wish to collaborate with the Education Ministry and individual schools to help make such a programme which fosters creativity, talent and skills of young children to be successful. It is always a wonderful way to invest in the future of our nation,” Minister Manickchand said.

Dr. Frank Anthony, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, noted that he was pleasantly surprised with the high quality of costumes that were displayed. He related also that every year the parade is attracting greater participation as well as spectators, and this he is very

happy about.

Minister Anthony also took the opportunity to encourage persons to come out on February 23 (Mash Day) and support the revellers. He alluded to the fact that the parade on Mashramani Day has approximately 30 registered bands with the largest, so far, carrying 1,200 revellers.

Proceedings commenced at the Parade Ground at Carmichael & Middle Streets in Georgetown, and the procession wended its way into Camp Street, then into Lamaha Street and then into Albert Street before entering the National Park, where the costumes were finally judged.

Among those witnessing this event at the National Park were Ministers Frank Anthony and Priya Manickchand; officials of the

sponsor, GT&T; and Mashramani Committee members and coordinators.

The Children’s Costume Parade is the culmination of the Children’s Mashramani activities that started on February 12 with the dance and masquerade segments that were witnessed by a packed-to-capacity National Cultural Centre (NCC) with eager children, parents and teachers. With participation from all the Regions and Georgetown, the competition bar was set very high, making the judges’ work very hard.

This year’s performance for the Regional Children Mashramani Competition and Costume Parade, brought out our young Guyanese to showcase their talents and saw them putting more efforts into perfecting the different arts.

Phagwah Festival set for Stadium on March 6 - organisers plan to make annual event ‘bigger and more exciting’

PHAGWAH Festival has become a huge event on the national calendar as thousands of people converge at the Guyana National Stadium every year. Last year it was estimated that over 30,000 persons visited the Stadium for the event which featured a cultural show and phagwah fun for everyone.

And the organiser, Inspire Inc, yesterday announced its grand plans for Phagwah Festival 2015. This annual event is planned once again for the National Stadium on March 6, 2015. Programme commences at 15:00 hrs.

“What is unique about this particular event hosted annually by Inspire Inc, is its convergence of all races and religions in Guyana in one grand family-based event,” said the organising company, headed by Mr. Yog Mahadeo.

Mr. Mahadeo noted that Inspire Inc takes pride in presenting the festival as a true festival of colours in which everyone belongs.

While there will be numerous fun-filled activities, water slides and sprinkler-fun, there will also be a wide menu of food available in the ground. As a non-alcoholic event, entire families come out and spend time together.

The cultural event has been supported by Terry Gajraj, a U.S.-based Guyanese international artiste who is well known for his performances on stage. This year, the show promises to be even bigger with more local and international stars accompanying Terry Gajraj on stage. Mahadeo said the Ishara Dance Troupe will also be a part of the programme with the famous ‘Shivanie and team’ creating dance routines to send powerful messages to the audience.

Even more special this year, he said, is the collaboration with a number of groups and causes. “Inspire maintains its collaboration with HUG (Hindus Unite for Guyana) and is now also collaborating with The Once Caribbean Voice and other social groups and businesses, this year plans to be bigger and more exciting,” he stated.

The buzz has started. Make your plans early to head down to the Stadium for Inspire Inc.’s Phagwah Festival.

The Chronicle was informed that the search saw the roof, flooring, cells, cupboards and other small pockets inside the prisons being combed very thoroughly by the Joint Service members.

Usually, searches are conducted at the facility not only in Georgetown but across the country.

The searches are facilitated largely by the Guyana Police Force, assisted by members of the Prison Service.

However, the search yesterday morning saw the Guyana Defence Force participating. It was in February 2002 that Guyana witnessed a jailbreak which saw five dangerous, high-profile criminals shooting their way out of the Camp Street jail to their freedom.

During the incident, one male prison guard was stabbed to death, while a female guard was shot to the head and seriously injured. She has since been off the job since she is unable to work.

During the period the men were on the run, Guyana witnessed one of the worst crime sprees in the history of the country with criminals at large engaging in robberies, murders, carjackings, kidnapping and other criminal activities which resulted in one of the longest and most intense joint operations between the Guyana Defence Force and the Guyana Police Force.

Understanding…

From a Teen’s Point of View

By Vishani Ragobeer

•SOCIAL JUSTICE:

Hello there! How was your past week? Did you enjoy Valentine’s Day? My week was quite interesting. Since this Friday will be ‘World Social Justice Day’, I thought of writing about this topic this week.

Social Justice is basically the fair treatment and administration of laws to all people regardless of wealth, class, ethnic origin, religion/belief, et cetera, without prejudice. This, my friends, is something that we should all strive for - especially (as I have said many times before) in our Guyanese society due to our diversity.

An issue I would like to address regarding this matter is that the poorer persons of Guyana do not get fair treatment in our judiciary system.

Poorer people c a n n o t a ff o r d to hire private representation so they are often VISHANI neglected and/or RAGOBEER victimised. Why is this so? There should be the availability and abundance of justice for all!

Another issue I would like to address regarding this matter is the unavailability of justice for young people. People stereotype us young people as all ‘young and reckless’ or ‘too curious’ but in truth we are not. There may be a few hiccups here and there but we are still naïve and we need to be taken seriously. We also have a right to justice and in this current day and age the notion of ‘I’m big, you’re small; I’m right, you’re wrong’ should not be applied. When we young folks cry for help we don’t receive it and when/if we receive, our pleas aren’t taken seriously! Due to this, many young people do not speak out and this should not be. Justice should be for all!

•Quote for the week: (by Mahatma Ghandi) “Truth never damages a cause that is just.”

That’s all for this week! See you again next week at your favourite and best newspaper – the Chronicle! Good bye!!

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 15, 2015

Four teams advance .... the game scored a double in the 3 and 11th minute. Beres Parkinson scored the other goal in the 21st minute.

It was after the game was over that it was discovered by the organisers that Richardson was over aged and the team was therefore subsequently disqualified.

In the other two quarter-final matches, Santos edged Beacons 1-0 to secure their semi-final berth, with the lone goal coming off the boot of Randy Roberts in the 15th minute from the penalty spot.

Western Tigers, a likely contender for the final beat Black Pearl 3-0 through a brace from Tyrese Haynes in the 5th and 15th minute and another from a Ronel Maxwell direct free kick in the 23rd minute.

The semi-final, third place play-off rd

From back page

as well as the final of the competition which attracted 13 teams will be played on Saturday at the same venue, beginning at 11:00hrs.

Meanwhile, quarter-final action of the under-17 category of the knock-out tournament will be played today from 09:00hrs at the GFC ground also.

Fruta Conquerors will face Black Water, Pele will tackle Camptown, Beacon will face Santos and Western Tigers will come up against GFC. According to John Yates, president of the Pele Football Club that organised the tournament in memory of Frank Watson, all the participants of the tournament which is being sponsored by the Pele Alumni, will each receive uniforms and school equipment.

Herstelling upset Grove Hi Tech, Diamond defeat Mocha Champs Herstelling Raiders Football Club recorded their first win of the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-11 Pee Wee League, a 1-0 win over the previously unbeaten Grove Hi- Tech yesterday at the Grove Playfield.

In the eagerly anticipated clash, the Herstelling lads who dominated much of the encounter left it late to seal full points, Shoran

James netting the winning in the 29th minute of the contest. Grove was awarded a penalty midway through the second half but the shot taken by their Captain Devon Padmore was saved by the lone female of the tournament, Indira Winter.

Winter’s heroics paved the way for her side’s eventual win which was formalised with James’ goal in the penultimate minute of the match.

Grove is stalled on 6 points from three games with Herstelling moving to 3 from two matches. Yesterday’s supporting game ended in a 0-0 stalemate between Craig Primary and Agricola Red Triangle.

Both teams played well and while

Craig had the bigger of the players in terms of size, Agricola never allowed them to impose their will as they were very aggressive with their goalkeeper, Christopher Adams pulling off a few big saves to help earn his side an even share of the spoils.

The day’s opening clash saw Diamond United defeating Mocha Champs by the lone goal of the game which came off the boot of Andy Gray in the 28th minute.

Mocha, playing in their first game of the league looked a good unit but it was the more active Diamond side that gained the edge to record their first win of the competition which will continue this Saturday at the same venue.

Aussies subject England to Valentine’s Day torture …Australia opener Finch blasts brilliant 135 on home ground

By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Aaron Finch smashed a sparkling century as Australia dealt England a 111-run humiliation in their World Cup opener at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday.

Dropped on the second ball he faced, opening batsman Finch blasted 135 at his home ground to lay the platform for victory as the co-hosts piled on 342-9, two runs shy of the venue’s oneday international record.

All-rounder Mitchell Marsh then took a career-best 5-33 as Australia put on a ruthless Valentine Day’s display in the field that amplified the abysmal nature of their opponents’ earlier efforts.

Having reprieved bulky opener Finch, England let a string of chances go begging, dropping catches and missing run-out opportunities to set a miserable tone for the start of their campaign.

They had reduced Australia to 70-3 but released the pressure and Australia’s formidable batting lineup duly went into punishment mode.

After stand-in skipper George Bailey (55) teamed with Finch for a 146-run partnership, pugnacious all-rounder Glenn Maxwell smacked 66 off 40 balls.

Ironically, Steven Finn, who like his colleagues had been thrashed to all corners of the ground, became the first England bowler to take a World Cup hat-trick by dismissing Brad Had-

Steven Finn took five wickets, including a hat-trick.

din, Maxwell and Mitchell Johnson in the last three balls of Australia’s innings.

He finished with a hugely expensive 5-71 and seemed embarrassed by his achievement.

It was to be a brief moment of celebration for the English, who were all but beaten by the 18th over of their chase, when captain Eoin Morgan flailed at a slower ball and was wellcaught by wicketkeeper Haddin.

Morgan’s sixth-ball duck was his fourth in five innings, including the last warmup against Pakistan, and left England reeling at 73-5.

Marsh, who had earlier dismissed opener Ian Bell (36), Joe Root (5) and Gary Balance (10), then completed his five-wicket haul

when Steven Smith took an extraordinary catch at short cover to dismiss wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.

Diving low and to his left, Smith showed marvelous anticipation to snaffle a full-blooded slog, a high point in a sparkling effort in the field for the hosts.

Marsh was also the third bowler of the match to take wickets in consecutive balls, with Broad also missing a hat-trick after bowling opener David Warner for 22 and having Shane Watson caught behind for a golden duck.

James Taylor (98) and Chris Woakes (37), who spilled a simple, head-high chance at midwicket to reprieve Finch in the first over, dug in for a 92-run partnership to flatter England’s scoreline.

The match ended in an odd manner, with Taylor initially given out lbw. He successfully had the decision overturned on review but was denied the chance of a century after a second review showed Maxwell had thrown down the stumps with James Anderson short of his ground.

For Australia, the only blot in a dominant display was Watson’s failure to score or take a wicket and a dropped catch by Finch when Taylor was on 20.

Long a contentious selection, the bulky Queenslander’s place in the side is certain to come under heavy scrutiny as regular captain Michael Clarke prepares to return for the second match against Bangladesh on the comeback from hamstring surgery.

SCA to introduce junior and women’s cricket in new season ...Executive body returned en bloc

SCA executive members after their recent annual general meeting.

By Frederick Halley TORONTO, Canada -With only a few positions up for grabs, based on its constitution, the entire Guyanese-based executive body, saved and except the ground coordinators, were returned en bloc when the Scarborough Cricket Association (SCA) held its annual general meeting last Sunday at the Agincourt Community Centre here.

According to the SCA constitution, the posts of president, secretary and treasurer are contested on a biannual basis while the others are done annually. This

meant that president Deo Samaroo, secretary Eon Gunraj and treasurer Vish Jadunauth were secured in their positions for at least another year.

Retaining their posts unopposed were vice-president Besham Singh, assistant secretary/web master Mohammed Ahmed, registrar/statistician Shiv Persaud and Public Relations Officer Richard Ramlall.

Two new ground coordinators were elected and they are Fareed Mohamed and Mathew Francis.

Describing the 2014 season as a good one, SCA president Samaroo disclosed that his association is set to

introduce an Under-13 and Under-16 league along with a women’s division in the 2015 season and the response for all three has been quite heartening.

T h e re a re h o w e v e r room for other interested teams. Samaroo praised the efforts of coordinator George Maharaj who has been working tirelessly to get the women’s section going.

While admitting the 50over tournament was quite competitive, the SCA president pointed out that he was extremely disappointed with the outcome of the final which he termed the

showcase of the season. The game, featuring eventual winners Hawaiian Arctic Cricket Club (HACC) and East/West was aborted after the latter refused to continue, protesting an umpiring decision.

Samaroo was also peeved that the 20-over tournament failed to get off the ground since several teams failed to turn up for matches. In view of this, the SCA intends to ask teams to make a deposit of $100 (Can) for entry into this year’s tournament and this will not be refundable if they fail to appear.

Boasting that the SCA was the first to introduce T20 cricket, Samaroo gave the assurance that the competition will be played the upcoming season regardless of the number of entrants.

Samaroo had stern words for those players who failed to turn up for their prizes at the annual presentation ceremony and at Sunday’s AGM, advising them they could “kiss the trophies goodbye.”

Vice-president Singh, in his report, was also critical of players who showed blatant disregard for umpiring decisions and called on clubs to remind their

players that “cricket is a gentleman’s game and should be considered as such,” Singh is of the view that the association should revisit the playing rules for the 2015 season, thereby inserting stiffer penalties for infractions.

Both the president and treasurer Vish Jadunauth also lamented on the failure of teams not turning up for pre-arranged practice ses-

sions after the association had committed funds for the availability of grounds.

Teams who default in the new year could be fined the fees paid to the authorities.

A minute’s silence was observed for the late BudhDave Tewari Anandjit, the former long-standing stalwart executive and member who passed away on July 22 last year at the age of 53.

World Cup hat-tricks (REUTERS) - List of players who have claimed hat-tricks in the Cricket World Cup after England’s Steven Finn achieved the feat against Australia yesterday.

Linden invades GT as National Club Championship bounces off tonight

By Rawle Toney

THE ‘Road to Mecca’, the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) National Club Championship will officially bounce off tonight at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall with an invasion from the ‘Mining Town’ of Linden.

In the opening game at 16:30 hrs, Pepsi Sonics will face off with Half Mile Bulls while the second game brings together a showdown between the GT Masters and

the Kashif and Shanghai Kings.

Game three sees Amelia’s Ward Jets coming up against Plaisance Guardians and the final game pits Wismar Pistons versus TGH Pacesetters.

The GT Masters/Kings contest is highlighted to be one of the more interesting matchups for tonight since it will see former National Point Guard Lugard Mohan playing against his former understudy Steve Neils Jr. Amelia’s Ward Jets, one

of the top teams in Linden are known for falling down on the big stage but the Kevin Joseph coached side seems to be evenly matched against the Plaisance unit.

It will be one of the East Coast of Demerara team’s toughest assignments to date and with $400,000 at stake and a chance to impress the National selectors, anything can happen.

Stephan Gillis, Royston Siland and Travis Burnet are expected to inspire their Pacesetters team to a win over Wismar Pistons, but, knowing the teams from Linden, they really don’t go down without a fight.

Though the Christian-

burg base team is in a rebuilding stage, its hard to count them out even though playing against a more superior team in Pacesetters.

Second through fourth places will pocket $200 000, $150 000 and $75 000 respectively, along with the bragging rights to be called ‘National Champions’.

With Guyana hosting Bermuda next month, the Road to Mecca tournament will once again be used as a yardstick to select the national team which will now be coached by Ravens head coach, Darcel Harris.

Harris said that the tournament which runs from February 14 to March 1, will give

him a perfect opportunity to see some of the players whom he, along with his staff, has already drafted and to also add some players to the roster.

The last time Guyana played Bermuda was at the 2011 CBC Championships in the Bahamas where Guyana lost 68-58. Bermuda placed 5th at the championships while Guyana placed 7th.

However, under Hinds, Guyana were able to send one of their best Men’s team to the Championship earlier this year and were able to place a creditable 5th at the Games in the British Virgin Island of Tortola.

Taylor misses out on century after umpire error

By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE,(Reuters) - Batsman James Taylor won admirers for playing a lone hand in England’s crushing loss in their World Cup opener to co-hosts Australia yesterday, but may have been denied a maiden century by an umpiring error on the last ball of the match.

Taylor was on 98 in a final-wicket stand with tail-ender James Anderson when he was given out lbw by umpire Aleem Dar off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Anderson bolted through for a single as Australia appealed the lbw and Glenn Maxwell threw down the stumps in a chaotic finish.

Taylor had the lbw decision overturned but a review of the run-out showed Anderson short of his ground.

Windwards in strong position after Fletcher’s century ANDRE Fletcher scored a century as his team, Windward Islands Volcanoes, piled on the pressure on the Jamaica Franchise on the second day of their sixth-round WICB Professional Cricket League Regional 4-Day match at Arnos Vale Sports Complex in St. Vincent.

The Volcanoes, replying to Jamaica’s 204, closed day two on 289 for 7, 85 runs ahead.

Fletcher, who brought up his century off 217 deliveries in 253 minutes with 10 fours and one six, will resume day 3 on 102.

Alston Bobb, who along with Fletcher have so far put on 52 for the eighth wicket, is unbeaten on 21.

David Bernard Jr. is the most successful wicket-taker so far with 4 for 41 while Odean Browne picked up 2 for 48.

Earlier, Tyrone Theophile made 50, off 70 deliveries in 103 minutes. Devon Smith, 36, and Johnson Charles, 26, also got starts.

After some conferring by the umpires, the run-out was confirmed and Australia celebrated a 111-run win over their arch-rivals.

Taylor smiled wryly as he shook hands with his opponents out in the middle, but the ICC later confirmed that the wicket should never have been given.

“Article 3.6a of appendix six of the decision review system... states that the ball should have been deemed dead when the batsman was given out lbw.

“No further runs or dismissals were possible.

“The PCT (Playing Control Team) spoke to the England team management and acknowledges that the game ended incorrectly and an error was made.”

Though Taylor may have felt disappointed, he was earlier fortunate to be dropped on 20 by man-of-the-match

James Taylor Aaron Finch, who spilled a regulation chance near the boundary.

England captain Eoin Morgan praised the 25-year-old’s resilience, having stood up to the Australian attack after four of the team’s top five batsmen failed to surpass 10 runs.

“Typical James Taylor. He got himself in, scored in different areas and managed to take advantage of being in,” Morgan said.

“Again, these are qualities we’re looking for.

Guys who can not only get 60, 40, guys who can go on and potentially win a game.”

Guyana tighten the noose around the Hurricanes

Rajendra Chandrika top scored for Guyana with 83.

EVEN though the Leeward Islands Hurricanes’ off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall took seven wickets, the Guyana Jaguars will be pushing for victory inside three days against his team in their sixth-round WICB Professional Cricket League Regional

4-Day match.

The Hurricanes, batting a second time, closed day two on 36 for 1, still 92 runs away from making the Jaguars bat again.

The Jaguars were dismissed for 267 while the Hurricanes’ first innings total was 139.

Cornwall, bowling off-spin, took 7 for 96 off 33.4 overs. Hayden Walsh Jr. supported with 2 for 79.

Rajindra Chandrika 83, Leon Johnson 48 and Narsingh Deonarine 32 were main scorers for the Jaguars.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul made 11.

The Hurricanes are at the bottom of the table with 11 points.

They are the only team yet to win a game this season. Guyana Jaguars lead the standing with 75 points ahead of Barbados Pride, 60, Jamaica 53 and Windward Islands Volcanoes, 46.

McCullum influence helps NZ to easy win in World Cup opener

By Greg Stutchbury CHRISTCHURCH, (Reuters) - Brendon McCullum gave the cricket World Cup the explosive opening organisers had hoped for with a blazing innings inspired captaincy to give New Zealand a 98-run victory over Sri Lanka yesterday.

McCullum blasted 65 runs in a 111run opening stand with Martin Guptill (49), before Kane Williamson (57) and Corey Anderson (75) gave New Zealand an imposing 331 for six after being asked to bat by Angelo Mathews at Hagley Oval.

McCullum’s biggest contribution to the game, however, probably came when the visitors had established a handy platform to attack at the conclusion of 21 overs with the score on 119 for one and Lahiru Thirimanne and

Kumar Sangakkara well set.

Left arm pace bowler Trent Boult had been taken for 15 runs from his two previous overs but McCullum persisted with the 25-year-old, who managed to produce one of the few deliveries to swing all day when he bowled Thirimanne for 65.

McCullum then brought back Daniel Vettori, who had earlier deceived Tillakaratne Dilshan (24) to take a simple caught and bowled opportunity, to attack new batsman Mahela Jayawardene, who was caught behind by Luke Ronchi for a four-ball duck.

Boult then trapped Sangakkara in front with another late swinging delivery five balls later to reduce Sri Lanka to 129 for four, effectively ending their chances given the top four had scored most of their runs during the one-day series against New Zealand in January.

Adam Milne then took two wickets in the 32nd over, and while Mathews produced a cameo of 46, Tim Southee mopped up the tail with two wickets as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 233 in 46.1 overs.

McCullum and Guptill had given New Zealand a flying start before the introduction of left-arm spinner Rangana Herath dried up the scoring rate.

Sri Lanka then wasted a series of missed opportunities, with Williamson dropped twice and while Jeevan Mendis took two wickets in two balls to give them a chance of running through the lower order, Grant Elliott and Anderson consolidated the innings with 65 from 10 overs.

Luke Ronchi (29 not out) and Anderson then scored 73 runs in the final 38 balls before the burly left hander was dismissed on the last delivery of the innings.

Taylor was also shunted down the batting order to sixth, making way for Gary Ballance who replaced Ravi Bopara and scored 10 at number three.

The move raised eyebrows but Morgan said Taylor was better suited in the middle order.

“James Taylor probably batted closer to his natural position in the batting lineup than he’s ever done before. Batting three is a bit strange for him,” Morgan said, defending the shakeup.

“And Gary has had a fantastic 12 months of Test match cricket batting at three and has looked in magnificent touch since he’s been here.”

Barbados Pride take first innings points

Barbados Pride pocketed first-innings points against Trinidad & Tobago Red Force in their sixth-round WICB Professional Cricket League Regional 4-Day match at Kensington Oval in Barbados.

Trinidad & Tobago Red Force, replying to the Pride’s 275, were dismissed for 218. Batting a second time, the Pride closed day two on 15 without loss, 72 runs

ahead.

Evon Lewis 43, Jason Mohammed, 32, and Jeremy Solozano 32, were the main scorers for the Red Force.

Carlos Brathwaite took 4 for 50 and Roston Chase 3 for 14.

Earlier, the Pride resuming on 246 for four, were dismissed for 275.

Chase fell for 85 (202b, 278m, 10x4) and Shane Dowrich 92 (205b, 277m, 11x4, 1x6).

“All the guys have been putting in a lot of hard work so we are very excited as well to get it started, and try and

Denesh Ramdin NELSON, New Zealand, (CMC) – Senior player Denesh Ramdin says West Indies will not take anything for granted against Ireland, in their opening game of the ICC World Cup which bowls off here tomorrow.

He said with a win crucially important to the team’s momentum, West Indies would be going all out to ensure they started the tournament on a high.

“We know the Irish.

They have a very disciplined bowling line up, they have some good batsmen in there as well so we don’t need to take them lightly,” the first choice wicketkeeper said.

“It is very important that we go out and play good positive cricket and try to beat them in all departments

and come up trumps in that game.”

West Indies have a rocky build up to the tournament.

Coming off a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of South Africa there last month, they also crashed to a bad nine-wicket defeat at the hands of England in their opening official warm-up earlier this week, when they were bowled out for 122.

Then, they narrowly escaped with a three-run victory against Scotland in their second warm-up, despite making 313.

Ramdin said, however, there was a good vibe in the camp and players were still working hard and anxious to do well.

“The spirit has been good so far. I just think we need to get some part-

Slingerz FC and Pele book Mayor’s Cup semi-final berth ‘WEST Side’ Champions, Slingerz Football Club is certainly living up to the hype, as the team brushed aside Riddim Squad 2 – 0 while advancing to the semi-finals of the 2015 Mayor’s Cup football tournament.

Pele stopped the Guyana Police Force football club 1 – 0 to also book a spot in the semi-finals when action continued at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground.

Omalo Williams scored in the 22nd minute and his lone strike was enough to push Pele to the next round where they will face Slingerz FC. Dominican national

player Julian Wade continues to impress his new bosses after scoring his second goal in as many matches for the Vergenoegen club.

Wade scored in eight minute, while Vurlon Mills scored in the 62nd minute to hand Slingerz the impressive win.

Ironically, it was both players who found the nets in the club’s previous win in the tournament, when they finished second in the last time they featured; losing 1 – 0 to Alpha United in the final.

The tournament continues tonight with Fruta Conquerors playing GFC and Western Tigers tackling the giant killers Ann’s Grove United. (Rawle Toney)

get another win under our belts as quickly as possible, and get this tournament kick started.”

With West Indies’ batting suspect, Ramdin’s role in the team has become critical.

The Trinidadian has been in decent form of recent and believes his brand of attacking cricket down the order will be vital.

“My role in the middle order is very important, I have to try and bat as many overs as possible and give the power hitters – (Darren) Sammy, (Andre) Russell and those guys – the chance to come in and strike the ball and give our bowlers something to defend,” he stressed.

“It’s a good experience

for me again to share my experience with the other players who haven’t played here.

It is a big occasion, the World Cups are very exciting.”

West Indies have been installed in Group B of the World Cup alongside the likes of reigning champions India, South Africa, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and the United Arab Emirates.
