President Ramotar commissions Hope Bridge

By Vanessa Narine

THE East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) Northern Relief Channel Public Road Bridge at Hope was commissioned yesterday by President Donald Ramotar.

And he noted that the bridge, one of three components of the US$15M Hope Canal project, is a quintessential infrastructural investment, particularly because of the economic and humanitarian importance.

Expounding on the latter, Ramotar explained that in the past government had been faced with the uneasy choice of opening the Lama and Maduni

sluices, in Region 5 (Mahaica/ Berbice), when the EDWC overtops or risk massive flooding of coastal residential areas.

The Hope Canal project is expected to be the answer to the flooding experienced in the Mahaica/Mahaicony/Abary (MMA) areas during rainy periods and would be operational as the rainy season sets in.

Residents in the MMA area over the years have lost crops and cattle in floods, during the rainy period. As seen in the past, when the Maduni sluice has to be opened to drain the EDWC, residents in the MMA area have to battle a rise in the Mahaica Creek - making the completion

According to Ramotar, the Hope Canal provides a much needed outlet for improved drainage capacity to ensure that the EDWC does not overtop.

The President added that the project represents an investment in infrastructure, which is only

part of the infrastructure works envisioned to facilitate greater economic growth and improved livelihoods.

He pointed out too that the Hope Canal project contributes to Guyana’s increased capacity, as it relates to food security and the ability to supply the Caribbean Region’s food needs.

The Head of State also called for acceleration of works on the three other components of the Hope Canal project.

The other three components of the project are the head regulator, the 10-kilometre channel between the EDWC and the conservancy head regulator and the Hope Canal’s outfall sluice, an eight-gate sluice at the canal’s Atlantic end.

The latter, Ramsammy said is approximately 70 per cent complete and works on the others are well over 80 per cent.

CLIMATE CHANGE READINESS The minister added that the project is tangible recognition of

the climate change threat.

He stated that the Hope Canal project is one of the climate change adaptation measures that have been employed by Guyana.

Ramsammy made it clear that Guyana is one of the countries in the world that has not only acknowledged climate change, but is also acting on that acknowledgment.

“This is a signal achievement for Guyana,” the minister said.

He noted too that the project is also part of the Government of Guyana’s “ambitious” flood strategy.

According to him, the completion of the bridge was a project that challenged those involved, as well as tested their patience.

However, he assured of continued efforts to ensure the completion of the overall project within budget.

Ramsammy stressed that the achievement is one that ought to be celebrated, given that it was a Guyanese

“The project is also paid for by Guyanese taxpayers,” he said.

The bridge was open to traffic soon after it was commissioned and on hand at the ceremony was Minister of Transport, Robeson Benn, who lauded the benefits of the infrastructural investment.

He also congratulated those involved in the project on the achievement.

Chief Executive of the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), Lionel Wordsworth made it clear that the completion of the bridge is an integral component to the overall project.

Representatives from the contracting service, DIPCON Engineering Services Limited, and the project’s consultant, CEMCO/ SRKN’gineering, were also on hand expounding on the challenges of the project and its benefits.

Construction on the project began in February 2011, with an estimated 18 months for completion and the deadline for the project was initially set for June of last year, but was subsequently extended to the end of August, and then once again extended to December 31.

Works are reportedly continuing at an encouraging pace, with an expected completion date within the first quarter of 2014.

Merkel, Hollande to discuss European communication network avoiding U.S. (REUTERS) - GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday she would talk to French President Francois Hollande about building up a European communication network to avoid emails and other data passing through the United States.

Merkel, who visits France on Wednesday, has been pushing for greater data protection in Europe following reports last year about mass surveillance in Germany and elsewhere by the U.S. National Security Agency.

Even Merkel’s cell phone was reportedly monitored by American spies.

Merkel said in her weekly podcast that she disapproved of companies such as Google and Facebook basing their operations in countries with low levels of data protection while being active in countries such as Germany with high data protection.

“We’ll talk with France about how we can maintain a high level of data protection,” Merkel said.

“Above all, we’ll talk about

European providers that offer security for our citizens, so that one shouldn’t have to send emails and other information across the Atlantic. Rather, one could build up a communication network inside Europe.”

Hollande’s office confirmed that the governments had been discussing the matter and said Paris agreed with Berlin’s proposals.

“Now that the German government is formed, it is important that we take up the initiative together,” an official said.

Government snooping is a particularly sensitive subject in Germany due to the heavy surveillance of citizens practised in communist East Germany and under Hitler, and there was widespread outrage at the revelations of NSA surveillance by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

“We’ve got to do more for data protection in Europe, there’s no doubt about it,” Merkel said on Saturday.

Germany has been pushing, so far in vain, for a ‘no-spy’ agreement with Washington.

Merkel said she plans to discuss closer cooperation on climate protection with Hollande ahead of a global climate conference in France next year, as well as security policies, in particular with respect to Africa.

But before he can stake his claim on history and attempt to install Italy’s 65th government since World War Two, he must overcome institutional rituals and much political wheeling-and-dealing, a process likely to take several days.

After receiving a mandate from the president, he will have to strike an accord with the small New Centre Right (NCD) party, whose support the PD needs to command a majority in the parliament of the euro zone’s third-largest economy.

The party, which split from scandal-plagued tycoon and ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi last year, said it was ready to work with the center-left on forming a new government after meeting Napolitano.

BLOODY Venezuela: Pro and anti-Maduro VALENTINE marches go ahead in Caracas Police kill two bandits after businessman murdered in Central

By Susan Mohammed (TRINIDAD EXPRESS) Valentine’s Day turned bloody in Central Trinidad yesterday when a gunman who laughed as he shot dead a businessman in Cunupia was himself killed along with his accomplice within an hour during a shootout with police.

3 car, which police later found abandoned at Ince Drive, Cunupia.

Police were told the gunman, the driver and a third man then got into a Volkswagen Jetta and were headed south along the Solomon Hochoy Highway when a party of police officers of the Central and Southern Divisions and aerial support,

Crime scene: Investigators at the scene where businessman Darren Shane Painter was killed at Southern Main Road, Cunupia on Friday.

The men were shot by police following a chase through Central Trinidad, which ended in Freeport.

The Express was told by police that around 10.30 a.m., 45-year-old businessman Darren Shane Painter was shot at his business place at Southern Main Road.

Painter, of Raghunanan Road, Cunupia, was the owner of an auto rental and leasing business, and cellular and accessories outlet.

Police said Painter had several court matters.

A suspect approached Painter as he stood outside his business place, police said. Witnesses told police the gunman laughed as he shot Painter, who died at the scene. A gun was found near Painter’s body.

The killer left in a Mazda

led by Senior Supt Johnny Abraham, Insp Williams and Sgt Tooleram, began their pursuit.

The suspects abandoned the vehicle in Freeport near the Highway Roti Shop and fled into the bushes, the Express was told. Police said officers searched the area and when the bandits were confronted, there was a shootout.

Two suspects were shot.

They were taken to the Chaguanas Health Facility where they were pronounced dead. The third suspect was arrested.

(BBC News) Supporters and opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have taken to the streets of the capital, Caracas, in rival marches.

The demonstrations come at a time of growing political tension in Venezuela.

Three people were killed during anti-government protests on Wednesday, and 100 students were arrested.

Mr Maduro accused the opposition of stirring up trouble as part of a coup plot and urged his supporters to march for peace on Saturday.

“The streets at night are not a safe place for us. We would not be achieving any goal and would only fall in the trap set up by violent pro-government groups” Enrique Altimari Opposition student leader The main opposition grievances are high inflation, crime and the shortage of some staples.

They have denounced police brutality and blamed pro-government groups, known as “colectivos”, for the deaths on Wednesday.

But Venezuelan Prisons Minister Isis Valverde has described the “colectivos” as “pillars in the defence of the nation”.

On Friday, students took to the streets again demanding the release of all the demonstrators arrested in the last week.

Education Minister Hector Rodriguez joins the march and waves a Venezuelan flag Mr Maduro called supporters to take part in a big demonstration “for peace and against fascism”.

Government supporters began arriving at a Venezuela square, in central Caracas, in the morning.

They were dressed predominantly in red or in Venezuela’s national colours - blue, yellow and red.

Govt paying $37m rent for empty building

By Ria Taitt Political Editor (TRINIDAD EXPRESS) Government has been paying tens of millions—somewhere between over $28 million to $37 million—for an unoccupied building.

Since 2010, Government has been paying the hefty sum of $8.2 million annually for renting a building located at 1 Alexandra Street, which it has never occupied. In addition to this, Government has been paying $927,360 per year for security.

Local Government Minister Marlene Coudray in the House of Representatives yesterday stated Government pays a monthly rent of $690,000, which adds up to $8.2 million a year for the building.

This has been paid since October 2010.

“This sum was paid for the financial years ended September 2011, September 2012 and September 2013,” she said.

The minister stressed the rental started on this building in 2009. If one includes rental payment and security for the year 2009, it means the taxpayer has paid around $37 million in total.

The Unruly Horse Part 9

The elevation of Standing Orders over the Constitution: A bout of constitutional heresy

By Mohabir Anil Nandlall Honourable Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs

EDITORIAL

END THIS IMPASSE FOR GUYANA

LAST Thursday, the Paris-headquartered Financial Action Task Force (FATF) accepted a recommendation from the Port-of-Spain-based Caribbean Action Task Force (CFATF) to extend the deadline for a final decision on Guyana’s compliance with required legislation to combat money laundering and financing of terrorism.

This positive development, therefore, sparks hope that the opposition parties, APNU and AFC, would now desist from further withholding of support for parliament’s approval of the ‘money bill’ they have been virtually kicking around for months.

The simple truth is that these two parties are fully aware that however much they are opposed to the PPP-led government, passage of the AML/CFT Amendment Bill is far too vital for Guyana’s future in the avoidance of punitive “blacklisting” sanctions should they stick with their refusal to enable parliament’s approval.

The CFATF deserves to be commended for its own efforts in seeking an extension of time for the FATF’s ultimate decision-makers to provide further space for serious efforts to achieve passage of the required legislation.

The government has itself done well in publicly commending the goodwill shown towards Guyana by regional (CARICOM) and hemispheric-wide (OAS) organisations, as well as accredited diplomatic representatives who have been forthcoming like, the local business community, labour unions and patriotic Guyanese across the political divide.

The FATF’s ultimate decision-makers, located among the 34 member nations of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), would have taken note of such goodwill interventions and specific efforts by the Guyana Government to secure cooperation from the opposition for passage of the vital legislation.

It is not yet too late for this cooperation to be forthcoming in Guyana’s interest. We, therefore, look forward to a new round of negotiations between the government and parliamentary opposition to bring an end to the prevailing impasse over passage of the AML/CFT (amendment) Bill—ahead of Guyana’s official celebration of its 44th anniversary as a constitutional republic.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 16, 2014

I DO not usually engage in exchanges in the press, with non-lawyers on matters of law. I extend this rule to some lawyers as well, when the content of what they espouse is devoid of legal scholarship. However, many persons have requested that I reply to a letter penned by elderly “political scientist” Mr. Eusi Kwayana, published in the Stabroek News, dated February 1, 2014 under the caption “It is now open for us to conclude that the Committee of Supply process is high farce.”

I choose to respond because the mistake of which Kwayana is guilty has infected many of the opinions expressed publicly, in respect of the Chief Justice’s ruling.

Mr. Kwayana makes out a case for supremacy of the Standing Orders, apparently, over the Constitution. He invokes Article 9 of the Constitution, which provides “Sovereignty belongs to the people and they exercise it through their representatives and the democratic organs established by or under the Constitution” in his attempt to argue, by implication, that the Opposition has a right to cut the National Estimates, presented by the Minister of Finance in the Committee of Supply.

Mr. Kwayana’s argument is predicated upon a fundamental constitutional misconception. He overlooks the cardinal legal truth that the constitution, born out of a referendum, is the supreme voice of the people. It is the document in which the people have agreed to define and delimit even the powers of the members of the National Assembly who are their representatives. As representatives of the people, elected members of the National Assembly cannot act in contravention of the voice of the people i.e. the Constitution. To the extent that the Constitution, the voice of the people, expressly or by implication, inhibits these representatives, they are restrained from acting. This is precisely why the Constitution is supreme and not the National Assembly. It is in this context, that Article 9 of the Constitution must be read and understood. Significantly, Mr. Kwayana abysmally fails to appreciate that the Committee of Supply is a creation and handmaiden of the National Assembly via Standing Orders. It is not of constitutional or statutory creation. Nevertheless, it ought not to be a farce. In fact, if it has become farcical, it is the elected members who have made it so. The fault must lie in the

Members of the Assembly themselves and not in any other person or place. The political truth may be that, members of the National Assembly and the members of Standing Committees, including the Committee of Supply, worshipped at the altar of political interests rather national interest. The result from such a political mis-focus is obvious.

According to the decision of the Chief Justice in the “Budget cut” case, the purported exercise of a power to cut the Estimates of Expenditure is a flagrant stultification of the power to approve or to withhold approval of those estimates expressly conferred by Article 218 of the Constitution. This express power, conferred by Article 218, renders a power to cut by implication, a constitutional impossibility. So from whence is this power to cut derived? The flawed argument advanced, is that it flows from the Standing Orders. This is nothing short of constitutional heresy. It flies in the face of the express language of Article 8 of the Constitution, which declares the Constitution to be supreme and strikes at the very heart of constitutional supremacy, the foundation upon which the edifice of our constitutional democracy is constructed.

Since Section 9 of the Constitution of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana Act 1980, mandates that the Standing Orders must be construed to conform to the Constitution, it is the Constitution which is supreme over the Standing Orders. Therefore, if there is inconsistency between the exercise of powers under the Standing Order and the exercise of power under Article 218 of the Constitution, then the power under the Standing Order cannot be exercised.

It would be an unconstitutional exercise of power. This position would obtain even if the Standing Orders are law. Article 8 of the Constitution so prescribes.

Therefore, it rationally follows that if the exercise of power to cut the Estimate of Expenditures of the Minister of Finance under the Standing Order is in direct conflict with the exercise of the power to approve or to withhold approval of the said Estimate under Article 218 of the Constitution, the power to cut under the Standing Order cannot be exercised. Or if exercised, will be unconstitutional.

No amount of critical statements from those who regard themselves as belonging to the “intelligentsia” of Guyana can assail the clear rationality which underlies the Chief Justice’s decision; or maybe, “judgment has fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason.”

Maes’ School saga and the AFC MR. Nigel Hughes, Chairman of the AFC is once again in the news for the wrong reasons. This time for failing to honour an agreement of sale of a plot of land on which one of Guyana’s most popular private schools is located. How can a senior attorney-at-law commit such a disgraceful act? An act, that is not only unbecoming of an experienced lawyer, but who is also the Chairman of a major political party; a party that aspires to govern Guyana.

Mr. Hughes’ failure to fulfil his legal and moral obligations have placed the future of more than three hundred young Guyanese, preparing for their CXC examinations, the passport to their future, in jeopardy. Has Mr. Hughes given any thought to what would happen to those children should they be evicted? Has he given any thought to the hundreds of millions invested? It appears that Mr. Hughes love and worship of money is so great that he just don’t care a damn about the future of over three hundred young Guyanese.

Can you imagine, only recently the National Assembly passed a law to protect innocent purchasers from this very type of injustice.

The AFC supported this bill. Mr. Moses Nagamootoo spoke at length on the need to protect innocent purchasers from dishonest vendors who either sell their property a second time or mortgage it to a financial institution and failing to pay off the mortgage after the sale, thereby making it impossible for the purchaser to receive transport unless that person pays off the mortgage. This must be fraud of some kind. It is the very thing Nigel Hughes is accused of doing! Did Mr Nagamootoo know that one of these dishonest vendors about whom he spoke is his party’s chairman? This is the million dollar question.

It has been reported that when asked for a comment, Mr. Hughes refused saying that the matter is sub judice and therefore he cannot comment. He finds it convenient to now hide behind the sub judice principle, but this principle was thrown out of the window in the Jagdeo v Kissoon matter in 2011. It would be recalled that Mr. Hughes at every street corner, at every AFC public meeting during their 2011 election campaign spoke about the matter. Was that matter not sub judice? One cannot prostitute these legal principles.

What is most disturbing in this whole saga is the AFC’s position, in particular, Mr. Moses Nagamootoo. Mr. Nagamootoo loves to

claim how close he was to Dr. Jagan and how he is a living embodiment of the ideals of Cheddi. In short, he is claiming to be the biggest “jaganite” alive. If this is so, then he must know the importance Dr. Jagan attached to young people and their education. He would also know that is the reason he fought against numerous odds and established the University of Guyana so that young Guyanese could realise their dreams. Today, Mr. Nagamootoo is a leader of a political party, whose Chairman, Mr. Nigel Hughes, has put the future of over 300 young Guyanese preparing for their CXC exams, and you cannot hear his voice. Would Dr. Jagan have remained silent? How can Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, leader of the AFC, when asked for a comment say it is a personal matter? What a disgraceful answer from one who considers himself a crusader against corruption and a moralist.

It must not be forgotten that during their 2011 election the AFC campaigned on platform of everything youth: youth empowerment, jobs for youths, etc. Here is an opportunity for the AFC to prove to the nation, especially the youths that they were not deliberately deceiving them into voting for them or were they? Does the AFC realise that many of those students being affected would be on the voter’s list come next election?

Another individual who claims to be the embodiment of another great son of the soil is Mr. Freddie Kissoon, the self-proclaimed fighter against injustice. Mr. Kissoon portrays himself as an intellectual.

He hails Dr. Walter Rodney as his hero. Dr. Rodney, like Dr. Jagan, saw Guyana’s future in educating and empowering the youths. Here we have a situation, the education and empowerment of over 300 young Guyanese are threatened, ironically dishonest acts committed by the very person who, Mr. Kissoon has publicly baptised as Guyana’s new Dr. Rodney.

I am sure that the Guyanese public is eagerly awaiting Mr. Kissoon’s comments on this whole affair. Does he still believe Mr. Nigel Hughes is Guyana’s new Walter Rodney? Dr. Rodney must be turning in his grave. Can Mr. Kissoon spare the dead man’s soul such agony?

What this whole saga has proven once again is that hypocrisy has become the norm within the AFC leadership.

Importance of Public Trust

By Keith Burrowes

WE overlook it unless there is some great personal breaking of it, and most of us never give it much thought in a greater sense, as to how it impacts the world around us, but the lives we live are lived that way primarily because of one fundamental element: Trust.

Trust is the foundation upon which any human relationship or system of relationships is built and sustained, whether we are talking about a marriage, a village, or a nation.

Civilisation as we know it is one big bundle of interpersonal relationships built on trust, whether it’s accepting essentially worthless pieces of paper in return for food or clothing. We come together, and put laws in place based on the premise that those laws are going to govern for the good of all who are faithful to the

mutual trust that is agreed to by consensus among us.

Trust is the glue that holds all interdependent relationships together, and there is probably no more important an institution -- outside of the family -- in which trust is

The other dimension to it has to do with trust within the public service; the faith that the different arms place in each other, in order to fulfill their mandate of the provision of services to the people.

This basically is how gov-

‘Trust is the glue that holds all interdependent relationships together, and there is probably no more important an institution -- outside of the family -- in which trust is more critical than in the public service’ more critical than in the public service.

This has two interrelated dimensions to it. The first has to do with the communal trust that people place in government to ensure that the government will act in their best interest; the social contract and the tool with which government carries out that function is the public service.

Ram’s Auto Spares owner seriously injured by gunshots

By Leroy Smith & Alex Wayne CITY businessman Deonarine ‘Ram’ Sanasie, 58, was seriously injured by gunshots on Friday at about 18:15 hrs while he was having drinks with several persons outside a spare parts shop named ‘Hose and Bolts’ which is opposite his business place, Ram’s Auto Spares at Fourth and Light Streets in Alberttown, Georgetown.

Ram was shot in one of his legs and his abdomen by two men who rode up on a CG motor cycle, a man who was inside the shop said. He disclosed that one of the men opened fire at the businessman, and he recalled hearing three gunshots. The men

fled the scene without robbing Ram or anyone else, raising questions about the motive for the shooting.

Ram was rushed to the Balwant Singh Hospital for treatment, and is said to be in a stable and alert condition. At least two family members were downstairs when this newspaper visited but they declined to speak about the incident.

“Move from in front of me before I blow,” a sobbing and distressed young lady told reporters.

Police at the crime scene spoke with several persons and combed the area. An official said police recovered two warheads from scene of the incident.

– wife reportedly implicated The businessman has reportedly given police investigators vital information that could link his wife of several years to his attempted execution.

The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that shortly after the businessman had been shot on Friday evening, the police were able to arrest a motor cyclist, whom they continue to question in relation to the matter; while the businessman’s wife, Pansy Sanasie to whom he has been married for several years and who has mothered his children, has been held for questioning at the

Alberttown Police Station since yesterday morning.

The woman operates a private school located on the outskirts of the city.

Information reaching the Guyana Chronicle suggests that the couple lives together in Atlantic Gardens, but they have been having marital problems.

The woman allegedly paid another person to carry out a hit on her husband, although the motive is still unclear.

Nevertheless, the businessman is reportedly cooperating fully with police investigators in furnishing them with information as requested.

sees himself as surrounded by adversaries in a game of supremacy.

Now, I want to make it clear that I’m not saying that anything is wrong with seeking to ascend in any career path you’ve chosen, whether it is the private or public sector.

The problem arises, however, when that quest for personal advancement becomes paramount to the provision of service. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is how frenzied and counterproductive the public service arena can become, and I am not talking about union agitation, but in the day-to-day operations of entities; operations that cannot run smoothly because Supervisor Jim is competing with Supervisor John for the assistant manager position left vacant when Jack replaced Manager Jill.

Of course, it doesn’t help any that since members of the public staff the public service, that first type of distrust I addressed is also reflected in the thinking of those who themselves serve, thereby multiplying the already existing environment of distrust and factionalism.

We need to face the harsh truth about our present situation. The upheavals we’ve had, whether in the sugar industry or at Linden -- while based, as acknowledged by all, on authentic issues -- are flaring precisely because of the erosion of trust in the public service that is spreading all over this society.

In some countries, this lack of confidence creates a self-reinforcing descent into that state of society which is the inevitable result of civilisation becoming unglued, that is a state of chaos, of anarchy – when the general population loses faith in public institutions to act in their best interest, then those who work within public institutions, by virtue of being an inextricable part of that

7

KEITH BURROWES general population, gradually lose morale and any personal sense of commitment they might have had in the carrying out of their duties.

Just as the descent is self-reinforcing, so is the ascent. And it has to start in the public service itself, since it is within this institution that their public places the trust of making the said society work as best it could. Government, particularly the political component of it, is incidental to the public service; political leadership is, at best, tenuous, and can change or be altered according to the will of the people. The public service, however, is constructed to be perpetual; the position of Permanent Secretary within the various ministries, for example, is a mechanism intended to preserve that permanence or perpetuity.

In most societies, the public service has to undergo an extensive programme of reengagement with its core mandate, and it is imperative that it starts with initiatives designed to restore trust internally as a first step, the results of which are going to eventually restore the public trust in the Service.

I believe that the state of these societies, as it presently is, speaks for itself about the urgency that is needed in this regard.

often manipulates a one-seat majority in the 65-member parliament--thanks to ever-ready support from the Alliance For Change (AFC) whose own leadership structure seems infected with a visceral hatred for the governing PPP of which two of its better known parliamentarians were once stout defenders.

DERAILING PROJECTS Latest manifestation of APNU’s politics for derailing Guyana’s peaceful path to social and economic progress is its refusal to reach a cooperation formula with the government to prevent Guyana from being ‘blacklisted’ by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) by parliament’s failure—to date—in approving the much required legislation known by the long name of “Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of the Financing of Terrorism Act (AML/FCT).

Israel: Nuclear Hypocrisy

WHEN Mordechai Vanunu, a humble Israeli technician who worked for years at Israel’s secret nuclear site at Dimona, spilled the beans about Israel’s nuclear weapons in 1986, very bad things happened to him. He was lured from safety in England for an Italian holiday by a woman who was an Israeli secret agent, drugged and kidnapped from Italy by other Israeli agents, and imprisoned for 18 years (11 of them in solitary confinement).

W h e n Av r a h a m Burg, the former speaker of the Israeli parliament, said last month that Israel has both nuclear and chemical weapons (you Mordechai Vanunu know, like the nuclear weapons that Iran must

not have and the chemical weapons that Syria must give up), nothing bad happened to him at all. He is protected by the Important Persons Act, the unwritten law that gets powerful and well-connected people off the hook in every country.

They didn’t even go after Burg when he said that Israel’s long-standing policy of “non-disclosure (never confirm or deny that it has nukes) was “outdated and childish.” But even ten years after Vanunu finished serving his long jail sentence, he is not allowed to leave Israel, go near any foreign embassy, airport or border crossing, or speak to any journalist or foreigner.

Currently, APNU’s leader, Granger, is busy attracting media attention by his expressed “concerns” over reports originating in the United States of America about a Mafia-masterminded drug-link involving Mexico and Italy and also Guyana.

Last week he chose to take his “concerns”—based on media reports—to the top brass of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). He may mean well. It is, however, difficult to escape the perception that the former Brigadier is politically milking a very sensitive national security matter KHEMRAJ RAMJATTAN to score a questionable political advantage.

For a start, Mr. Granger is far too experienced not to appreciate the inescapable political reality that the hierarchy of today’s GDF would be quite mindful of their obligation in this vital matter of national security to first alert the Head of State, President Donald Ramotar, BEFORE sharing or discussing what they have learnt with him, either as APNU’s chairman or parliamentary Opposition Leader.

And why not? After all, the years when PNC-inspired and fulfilled “party paramountcy,” of which Mr. Granger was an important ‘player’ have, thankfully, long past. The GDF’s hierarchy knows this as well as the hierarchy of the Guyana Police Force of which a retired Commissioner of Police is now an APNU parliamentarian What is quite relevant at this stage is the extent to which the authorities in the USA are prepared to share whatever information they have with the Guyana authorities to help in smashing this claimed bizarre mafia-linked major drug-trafficking. We must await the FACTS. speaks to whomever he pleases, of course. But he really can’t get out of the country, though he desperately wants to leave, and his decision to live like a free man gives his watchers the pretext to yank his chain by arresting him whenever they feel like it.

The Israeli government’s excuse for all this is that he may still know secrets he might reveal, but that is nonsense. Vanunu hasn’t seen Dimona or talked to anybody in the Israeli nuclear weapons business for 30 years.

What drives his tormentors is sheer vindictiveness, and he may well go on being punished for his defiance until he dies – while Avraham Burg lives out his life undisturbed and offers occasional pearls of wisdom to the public.

So here are the “secrets” that Vanunu and Burg revealed, in rather more detail than Burg chose to give and in a more up-to-date form than Vanunu could give from personal knowledge.

Analysis by Rickey Singh

THE JOB of an opposition party, they say, is to ‘make politics’.

And the main parliamentary opposition in Guyana—A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)—seems to be quite obsessed in making the politics of its choice.

Never mind that in reality APNU is hardly anywhere near to influencing even the semblance of “national unity”, either by rhetoric or action, since its emergence as a coalition of parties to contest the November 2011 general elections. Instead of, teaming up with what remains, by some 95 percent---the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR).

Following repeated failures by the PNCR’s previous leader, Robert Corbin, to achieve victory at free and fair elections, APNU’s creation surfaced in time for the November 2011 parliamentary elections under the chairmanship of retired Brigadier of the Guyana Defence Force, David Granger. He had earlier secured, by a slim majority of 15 votes, the leadership of the PNCR, against Carl Greenidge, a former Finance Minister.

The other “parties” in the APNU coalition, at formation, were known as: Guyana Action Party (GAP), National Front Alliance (NFA) and the Working People’s Alliance (WPA).

THE WPA FACTOR

Assuming that GAP and the NFA are still FUNCTIONING entities, appropriately accountable to constituents at structured meetings or congresses, the WPA was, at the time, the only of the trio of small parties that was recognised for its legitimacy based on historical formation and performances.

I do not know how often the WPA holds committee meetings or delegates conferences these days to maintain integrity with its support base—whatever the current size.

There are, however, political watchers who, in retrospect hold the view that the party’s primary “decision makers” did not sufficiently consider how more useful it could have been to avoid the embrace of the old PNC (now in new political clothing as APNU), in favour of remaining an independent political organisation capable of

No place for national interest in the National Assembly ARISTOTLE once said that politics is the result of humans being the only herd animals talented enough to talk to each other; through talking to each other and reasoning, Aristotle believed that politicians as humans could decide what is good and evil or just and unjust, not for themselves as politicians but for the society.

Well, Aristotle probably had a different understanding of politics as we know it today in Guyana because either the politicians from different sides of the political aisle do not talk to each other, or if they do, sometimes it is not sincere; and there are others who with sincerity talk to each other but without achieving anything. Indeed, we have the odd times when politicians may talk to each other and do get some things done.

‘In the Aristotelian vein, many politicians in the parliamentary chamber in Guyana fail to realise that their responsibility first and foremost is to promote the happiness of the citizens of Guyana, especially the poor and vulnerable.’

However, very frequently politicians do not reach agreement on matters of national or public interest, resulting in a downward slide for Guyana. The question at issue then is what it would take to reach agreement on matters of public interest, so as to decide what is good or evil for Guyana.

Concluding agreements in the National Assembly invariably becomes a predictable ‘no’ against the Government as Executive.

Why? The 10th Parliament arrived with a one-seat majority opposition – A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Alliance For Change (AFC) - which came to the opening of Parliament armed with ambitious perceptions and wild expectations of controlling

the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s (PPP/C) agenda and programme of activities.

Any opposition’s control of any executive’s agenda implies that that opposition is the de facto executive. It is not surprising, then, that the one-seat combined opposition majority in Guyana would want to follow this trail. Being outside of the Executive, the combined opposition for all intents and purposes expected to wield actual executive powers by virtue of its one-seat majority vis-à-vis its illegal actions in the budgetary process over the last two years in

weapons, those limits being based on calculations of the amount of fissile material that it has enriched to weapons grade. The best guess is that the total is around 200 warheads, most of them two-stage thermonuclear devices (hydrogen bombs).

At least some dozens are “tactical” weapons designed to be fired by 175 mm and 203 mm artillery pieces at ranges of 40-70 km. The remainder are meant to be delivered by missiles or aircraft, and Israel maintains a full “triad” of delivery systems: land-based missiles, sea-launched missiles, and aircraft.

The missiles are mostly Jericho II medium-range ballistic missiles, which can reach all of Europe and most of western Asia. Since 2008 Jericho III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) have also been entering service, with a range that would allow Israel to strike any inhabited point on the planet except some Pacific islands. Both

can carry a one-megaton warhead.

Why such remarkably long ranges, when Israel’s avowed enemies are all relatively close to hand? One speculation is that this is meant to encourage caution in other nuclear states (Pakistan? North Korea?) which might at some future time be tempted to supply nuclear weapons to Israel’s near enemies.

The maritime leg of the triad is highly accurate cruise missiles that are launched from underwater by Israel’s German-built Dolphin-class submarines. These missiles constitute Israel’s “secure second-strike” capability, since it is extremely unlikely that even the most successful enemy surprise attack could locate and destroy the submarines. And finally, there are American-made F-15 and F-16 strike aircraft that can also carry nuclear bombs.

and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Amendment Bill to the Paris Plenary of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), at the eleventh hour, the main Opposition APNU tabled amendments.

APNU’s action delayed parliamentary progress and agreement on the AML/CFT Amendment Bill. Even though the CFATF at that Paris Plenary last week did not recommend any action against Guyana at this time, it certainly would have inserted a red flag on Guyana.

This parliamentary action of presenting amendments at the final moment when so much of the national interest is at stake may be irresponsible behaviour. But some may argue that the doctrine of ‘separation of powers’ allows APNU to execute its legislative functions separately from the other branches of government and to do so efficiently (Verkuil, 1989); and apparently, APNU feels it was the appropriate time to present such amendments, and that it acted within the realm of legitimacy. But Justice Brandeis countered that the intent of the separation of powers was “not to promote efficiency but to preclude the exercise of arbitrary power” (Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52, 293 (1926) (Brandeis, J., dissenting). There are some who would say that the main combined Opposition party APNU acted arbitrarily by taking advantage of its one-seat majority, solely in its self-interest and not in the national interest.

In the Aristotelian vein, many politicians in the parliamentary chamber in Guyana fail to realise that their responsibility first and foremost is to promote the happiness of the citizens of Guyana, especially the poor and vulnerable.

1979 in cooperation with apartheid South Africa, which was also developing nuclear weapons (subsequently dismantled) at that time.

The test was carried out under cover of a storm to escape satellite surveillance, but a rift in the cloud cover revealed the characteristic double flash of a nuclear explosion to an American satellite, Vela 6911.

This was a violation of the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty, which forbids open-air nuclear tests, but the United States did not pursue the matter, presumably in order not to embarrass Israel.

The United States did not help Israel to develop nuclear weapons in the first place (France did that), and even now Washington does not really approve of Israel’s nukes, although it tolerates them in the interest of the broader alliance. But why, after all these years, does Israel still refuse to acknowledge that it has them?

The only plausible answer is: to avoid embarrassing the United States in ways that would make it restrict its arms exports to Israel. But realistically, how likely is that to happen? The US Congress will ensure that Israel goes on getting all the money and arms it wants no matter what it says about its nukes, and it is high time to end this ridiculous dance around the truth.

Guyana is grateful for FATF February 28 extension

By Vanessa Narine

AT TO R N E Y G E N E R A L (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall in an invited comment told the Guyana Chronicle that the reprieve by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is one that Guyana is grateful for, considering the dire consequences of being internationally blacklisted.

And he stressed the fact that the new February 28 deadline is not one Guyana can be complacent with.

Nandlall said: “We are indeed fortunate that FATF did not identify Guyana for the dreaded ICRG (the International Cooperation Review Group’s) Review. I indicated very early, that they could have done so on their own volition without a recommendation from CFATF. The government’s concern was always to preclude Guyana from

being exposed to this perilous risk. That Guyana was granted this reprieve, we are grateful.

However, we cannot afford to become complacent. Our obligations to enact the Bill has not dissipated but has shifted by about two weeks only.”

Guyana is now expected to submit a report by February 28 along with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) (Amendment) Bill to the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) for consideration at its May 2014 plenary meeting.

“Nothing else has changed,” he stressed.

NO SCAREMONGERING The AG, in whose name the AML/CFT Bill was tabled in the National Assembly, rejected comments by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) frontbencher, Joseph Harmon.

Nandlall said: “I am shocked at a statement attributed to Mr. Joseph Harmon, who said that the government should hang their heads in shame and apologise to this nation, contending that the government misled the nation in relation to some ‘bogus deadline in order to create panic.’

“It is either Mr. Harmon orbits in another planet or he is uninformed and deliberately chooses to remain so about the issues. The press carried detailed articles of the FATF meeting. Many countries were reviewed. Guyana could easily have been one of them. Fortunately, we were not.”

According to Nandlall, Harmon and the APNU are seemingly disappointed that Guyana was not reviewed and blacklisted.

He said: “As I said on a number of occasions, I do not rule out the possibility that they

want that to happen so that the economy would be adversely affected, people will then blame and hold the government responsible while the APNU can extract some cheap political mileage and benefit, therefrom.

Maybe that is their grand plan.

If it is, they should say so, candidly, and stop engaging in shenanigans and political artifice, creating a façade that they want the Bill passed.”

The AG also expressed gratitude to the Private Sector Com-

part of the Joint Opposition to work with Government through the Special Select Committee of the National Assembly to move this Bill through the House before February 28,” Singh exhorted.

The minister explained that to date the recommendations proposed by the APNU has been met by strong opposition by both government and civil society.

The three amendments seek to: change the entire governing apparatus of the Financial Intel-

this Bill to the House before February 28,” Singh stressed.

mission, the labour movement, the religious organisations, the diplomatic community, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Organisation of American States (OAS) and the hundreds of thousands of Guyanese, both locally and overseas, who expressed their support to the government on this matter, as well as, who publicly recognised the importance of enacting the Amendments to the AML/CFT legislation.

SMALL WINDOW Similar sentiments were expressed by the Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, who pointed out that FATF’s reprieve is a small window of time, which must be used wisely to ensure the passage of the AML/CFT Bill.

Singh said: “Guyana has been given a small window of time which government hopes will be used wisely by the Opposition to act responsibly and support the passage of the amendment bill.

“Government has maintained and has demonstrated its commitment to meet as many times as is needed to pass the Bill as is required by FATF. The coming two weeks will require the same dedication and commitment on the

ligence Unit (FIU); remove the Attorney General wherever that name appears and replace it with the FIU; and vest a police officer or customs officer with the power to seize currency from any person, anywhere in Guyana, if those officers have reason to believe that the currency is the proceeds of crime or will be used to finance crime.

Singh said the recommendations proposed by the APNU, in particular the one “to empower the Guyana Police Force and Customs Officers to seize currency valuing in excess of US$10,000 or approximately G$2M from any citizen suspected to be involved in money laundering” are too vague.

He said: “The legal drafters of the National Assembly have also indicated that the recommendations made by the APNU are too vague and needs additional work.”

The Finance Minister made clear government’s commitment to work for the people of Guyana and to see the passage of this Bill through the National Assembly.

“We call on the APNU and the AFC to stop holding to ransom Guyana’s social and economic development for political mileage and commit to seeing

NEXT MEETING The next meeting of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee is scheduled for Wednesday.

In November the Bill was defeated by the combined Opposition and in January Government re-tabled the legislation, which was subsequently recommitted to the Parliamentary Select Committee.

The Bill has spent some 10 months in Select Committee.

At Wednesday’s meeting, Committee members are expected to address the disagreements over the three proposed amendments.

Noteworthy, is that the Committee is in agreement with the provisions of the AML/CFT Bill itself.

Come February 28 Guyana’s report to CFATF has to include Guyana’s plan of action to correct its deficiencies as part of the ongoing process, as well as report the conclusions on the AMLCFT (Amendment) Bill.

A copy of the enacted Bill is also expected to be analysed by CFATF and correlated to the deficiencies identified by the body at its November 2013 Plenary meeting, before a report is made in May 2014.

Between February and May it is expected that there will be dialogue and discussions with CFATF and the current administration, with regards to the preparation of the report for CFATF Plenary.

If the May Plenary is dissatisfied with Guyana’s progress, CFATF’s November 2013 statement already provides the decision for the country’s referral to FATF which meets again in June 2014.

Chronicle Weekend Roundup with Telesha Ramnarine February 10-15, 2014

MONDAY 10 Passengers busted at CJIA with cocaine in tamarind achar SECURITY agencies operating at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) at Timehri prevented a US citizen and a Guyanese citizen from smuggling approximately 20 kilogrammes of cocaine concealed in tamarind achar onto a Caribbean Airlines flight bound for New York City in the USA. A statement issued by CJIA authorities has said that at 15:45 hrs, the baggage of American citizen Winston Blake, 77, was searched and two packages of achar with over 10 kilos of cocaine disguised to look like tamarind seeds were found.

The Guyanese citizen Sadeeka Odie, 38, was apprehended around 17:10hrs after similar packages of achar with cocaine in the shape of tamarind seeds were also found in her luggage. She was travelling with her nine-year-old daughter. Both intercepted passengers were en-route to New York City.

Six injured in car/minibus collision at Ruimzeight SIX persons were injured in a minibus/motor car “smash up” at Ruimzeight, West Coast of Demerara and at least two had to be warded at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH). Davenand Pooldass and Davekumar Singh were rushed to the GPH for treatment for the multiple injuries they suffered in that accident. Other minibus passengers who sustained injuries were: the driver, Jomo Younge, 36, of Bagotstown, East Bank of Demerara; conductress Tamara Johnson, 38; and another person, who was taken to a private hospital in the city.

It could take about $200M to fix Le Repentir Cemetery GEORGETOWN’S Deputy Mayor, Patricia Chase-Green, has said that while the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is unhappy with the current deplorable condition of Le Repentir Cemetery, it would take about $200M to perform an acceptable level of rehabilitation there. She said the present situation at Le Repentir is that besides being overwhelmed by bushes and large trees, widespread flooding, and the pile-up of garbage have caused several burials to be postponed of late. According to Mayor Hamilton Green, of the $17M allocated last year to the rehabilitation of the cemetery, M&CC utilised $1M to carry out preliminary works. He said: “You cannot put a budget of $17M to fix a cemetery… Unless government broadens the revenue base, which wasn’t done since 1994, we wouldn’t be able to do much.”

PPP calls on AFC’s Nigel Hughes to resign THE ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has called for Chairman of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Mr. Nigel Hughes, to resign after noting what it describes as “damming allegations” of his involvement in another racketeering scheme. The party said in a statement: “These allegations must not be taken lightly and are, to say the least, troubling and worrying to the public at large…the fact that these allegations continue to be made is cause for concern about the integrity of the attorney-at-law and his ethical standards, not only in the political realm, but when doing business…the PPP demands the resignation of this corrupt politician who constantly abuses his office and portfolio.” The statement comes in the wake of a court action moved by Mayfield French, owner of popular city private school, Mae’s Schools. French, on January 17, 2014 sued Hughes, Hand-in-Hand Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Registrar of the Supreme Court in respect of a property located at Lot 29 Subryanville, Kitty, Georgetown upon which part of the school has been built.

CJIA on high alert!

THE United States Embassy has warned that it had received “unconfirmed threat information” about Caribbean Airlines’ flights, and urged Americans to avoid using that carrier. A security message posted on the embassy’s website reads: “Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy advises all U.S. citizens in Guyana travelling on Caribbean Airlines (CAL) to the United States from

Monday February 10 through Wednesday, February 12, 2014 to make alternate travel arrangements.” The embassy also called on U.S. citizens travelling to, or residing in, Guyana to enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveller Enrollment Programme (STEP), which gives the latest security updates and makes for easier contact in an emergency. The Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), in a statement said a heightened security posture will remain in place over a number of days, until such time as the threat is no longer deemed valid. ********************************************* TUESDAY 11

Bill passed to allow Local Gov’t Elections by August THE National Assembly, after rigorous debate over the importance of local government elections to the democracy, passed the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. The Bill’s passage was pushed by the Opposition, which used its one-seat majority to its advantage, even as government MPs argued in a favour of the date being on or before December 1, 2014. The August date was made via an amendment to the Bill, proposed by A Partnership for National Unity, while the House was in Committee.

Basil Williams unanimously elected Deputy Speaker A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member, Mr. Basil Williams was elected Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly. His was the only nomination for the post to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of other Member of Parliament (MP) Deborah Backer and the House, unanimously, supported the election of front-bencher Williams.

His nomination was by APNU Chief Whip, Amna Ally and seconded by Dr. Rupert Roopnarine.

Dr. Karen Cummings replaces Backer in Parliament VETERAN Member of Parliament (MP), Ms. Deborah Backer who resigned her seat recently, has been replaced by Dr. Karen Cummings. The latter was sworn in as Backer’s replacement in the National Assembly. Speaker of the House, Mr. Raphael Trotman acknowledged the loss of Backer as an MP and noted that her resignation was “very sorrowful” news. He added that a letter from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) confirmed that Cummings’ name, to replace Backer’s, was taken from A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU’s) List of Candidates, which was presented on Nomination Day, prior to the December 2011 general elections.

Man wounds another after request for $100 was denied – court hears KEMPT Beckles, charged with unlawful wounding, was placed on $125,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

Particulars of the indictable offence said that on January 21 he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Seekumar Outar. Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said the virtual complainant was in the vicinity of Demico House in the Stabroek Market area when the accused asked him for $100. He told Beckles he did not have any money. Subsequently, an argument erupted between the parties and the accused armed himself with a broken piece of bottle and dealt a lash to Outar’s head, along with several stabs to his armpit. The prosecutor did not object to bail and the case was put off to March 6 for a report.

Parliament unanimously approves bill on electronic verbatim recording in courts THE National Assembly unanimously passed the Recording of Court Proceedings Bill 2014 which Government said will speed up the operations of the courts, through electronic verbatim recording of proceedings, rather than the current lengthy manual note-taking process.

Piloting the measure through the House, Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall said that it introduces to Guyana’s legal system, for the first time ever, automatic recordings of court proceedings using technological apparatus.

Rohee charges Stabroek News with biased coverage GENERAL Secretary Mr. Clement Rohee expressed the People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP’s) concerns over what he called “bias” in sections of the media, in particular Stabroek News. He said his expression follows an in-house survey comparing coverage in the local dailies. In the four-month period, the Stabroek News covered these three political parties 68 times. The PNCR/APNU has 68 percent of the coverage; the AFC had 24 percent of the coverage while the party with the largest amount of seats in the National Assembly, the PPP, had less than 10 percent of the coverage. The other interesting finding that the PPP discovered was that, during the period, the Stabroek News totally blanked the PPP Press Conferences from its newspaper’s pages. Stabroek News covered more than 50 percent of the APNU press conferences. These hard facts now, empirically, confirm what the PPP has known for some time about the pro-APNU anti-PPP position of the Stabroek News.

Motion approves increase ERC membership PARLIAMENT approved a motion to increase the membership of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) to include one representative each from the Indo-Guyanese, Afro-Guyanese and indigenous people cultural/ ethnic group. The motion on the appointment of members of the ERC, including the new category, had been moved by Dr. George Norton, M.P. and Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee of Appointments, which had also included representatives from all three political parties represented in the National Assembly. Dr. Norton had been mandated by Parliament to nominate representatives for President Donald Ramotar to appoint as members to the ERC, their numbers being no less than five nor more than fifteen, after the entities are determined by votes not less than two-thirds of all the elected members of the National Assembly.

The EU-funded programme aims at promoting the development of small producers/entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector of CARIFORUM countries, thereby increasing the amounts of locally grown food on plates in the Caribbean, and enabling Caribbean farmers to be adequately paid for their work. ********************************************* THURSDAY 13 Defendants in cocaine–in-achar allegations remanded SADIKA Leona Odie, a 38-year-old model of Burrowes School of Art who was charged with drug trafficking was refused bail Monday by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

Odie of Lot 186 Thomas Street, Kitty, Georgetown, pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on Saturday, February 8 at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, East Bank of Demerara, she had 9.274 kilogrammes of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Meanwhile, 78-year-old Winston Blades, of Lot 121 Meadow Brook Gardens, Georgetown, who was also busted with cocaine in achar was also refused bail in the same court. He too denied the allegation which said on Saturday, February 8 at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, East Bank of Demerara, he had 10.658 kilogrammes of cocaine.

Woman paid $400,000 for sex DVD with husband FAZEELA Khan, 26, of Lot 247 ‘BB’ Eccles, East Bank of Demerara, charged with obtaining money by false pretence, was granted $125,000 bail. She appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded not guilty to the charge that said, on Friday, February 7, at Vlissingen Road, Georgetown, she falsely obtained $400,000, by pretending to be in possession of DVD which contains sexual content of Trisha Persaud’s husband, knowing same to be false. Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said the defendant made arrangement to hand over the DVD to Persaud in exchange for the money. He said Khan left her car approximately five feet away from the virtual complainant’s car to make the exchange but was apprehended by police ranks. The case was put off to March 10.

Mother charged with injecting insulin in her children GAIL De Jonge, 24, who resides in the Linden Hospital Complex at Mackenzie and accused of injecting her children with insulin, was slapped with an assault charge. Before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry she pleaded not guilty to having, on Friday, February 7 at Linden Hospital Complex, unlawfully assaulted Huette Moore. Police Sergeant Vernetta Pindar, prosecuting, did not relate the circumstances under which the offence was committed but stated that the defendant is a nurse attached to the Linden Hospital Complex and requested that she be refused pre-trial freedom, because she may pose a danger to both the virtual complainant and her children.

The prosecutor informed the court that De Jonge is alleged to have injected her seven year and eleven-year-old children with insulin. She said that led to the social worker going to investigate the allegation and the nurse and the virtual complainant had an altercation during which she assaulted Moore. *********************************************** FRIDAY 14 Four in custody over killing of murder witness FOUR persons are in police custody following the slaying of a murder witness at the Canefield Nursery School in East Canje.

In this regard, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport launched its annual Mashramani Exhibition at the National Museum. The vibrantly coloured displays illustrated aspects of the mash celebrations including masquerade, the parade, flag-raising and depictions from the various ethnic groups’ folklore. The exhibition will conclude on March 8, and it is anticipated that many citizens particularly school children will visit the exhibition. Apart from that exhibition, another one will be opened at Castellani House where the attention will be on Guyanese sculptures. The Republic Lecture Series by Clem Seecharran is another commemorative activity on the Mash schedule.

Hope Canal Bridge opens to traffic THE National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) has advised the public that the long-awaited Hope Canal Bridge, component 2 of the East Demerara Water Conservancy- Hope Canal Project, is going to be commissioned on Saturday. According to a statement from the NDIA, opening the bridge is the first step in the “operationalisation procedure for this facility” and it is expected that the other components will soon follow.

20-yr-old charged with murder at age 10 TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Ryan Adams, called Orlando Andrews, of Buxton, East Coast of Demerara, who was charged with murder at the age of ten, but was not arrested until he was 14, was freed of the charge by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). He had been incarcerated for 10 years. Before discharging Andrews, Judge Franklyn Holder told him, among other things, “Go, and walk the straight and narrow path.” Earlier, Prosecutor Mrs. Judith Mursalin told the judge that because the evidence on the record did not support the charge, the DPP had decided to enter a nolle prosequi (withdrawal of the charge against the accused). ********************************************* SATURDAY 15 Guyana earns further reprieve over Anti-Money Laundering bill THE France-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has agreed that Guyana should be reviewed again in another three months on the crucially important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Bill, which has won widespread support from almost everyone, except from the parliamentary Opposition parties. The Government of Guyana said it has been advised that the FATF Plenary members, during their meeting on Thursday February 13, 2014 accepted the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) (ICRG) recommendation that Guyana, et al, be reviewed subsequent to the CFATF next Plenary’s decision in May of 2014. The Government noted that this is the substance of the CFATF public statement made in November 2013 when the National Assembly defeated the Government’s AML/CFT Amendment Bill No.12 2013 on November 7, 2013. The Government said it wishes to go on record to “thank” Guyanese citizens, civil society bodies with particular reference to the business community and their organisations, the labour movement, the diplomatic community, the Organisation of American States and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and all who publicly lent support to the Government’s efforts in what were and continue to be “unique and unprecedented circumstances.” The Government is also once again calling on the

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) leaders that the AML/CFT Amendment Bill must be passed in the National Assembly as urgently as possible before the end of this month.

Footballer Peter Lashley killed by sand truck FORMER National Player/Coach and Administrator of the Georgetown Football Club (GFC), Peter Lashley known as ‘Peter Graham’, 54, of Lot 6 ‘D’ Tucville, was killed when he found himself underneath a truck on Mandela Avenue, also in the city. At the time, he was riding his motorcycle on the way to work at John Fernandes Ltd. (JFL), where he was employed for many years as a gate clerk.

The accident occurred in the vicinity of the National Gymnasium.

Investigations, so far, revealed that Lashley rode out of the Meadow Brook access road and, allegedly, failed to stop and was struck down by a lorry that was proceeding along Mandela Avenue. The driver of the lorry is in police custody assisting with the investigations.

UG students bemoan condition of stray animals on Turkeyen Campus IN addition to being deemed as having an aquatic sports field, the University of Guyana is considered a home for domestic animals.

The issue of stray animals occupying the Turkeyen Campus has been raised on many occasions by students, hoping that the relevant authorities would intervene. However, due to the failure to address this issue, the current situation is a problematic one. And not only is this situation dangerous, but it could also embarrass those responsible for maintenance of the compound, when events are to be held.

Suspects in Trevor Rose execution released on bail THE suspects in the Trevor Rose murder probe, who were arrested and held for 72 hours, have been released on station bail.

The men were being sought by the police for questioning about the execution of the designer and events promoter in January. Last weekend they were both apprehended and questioned before being let go earlier this week, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud confirmed to the Guyana Chronicle. The Deputy Commissioner (Crime) could not say, however, at which police station the men had been detained, how much bail was granted them and exactly when. Asked if the police took possession of the passports of the duo, after they were placed on bail, he responded in the negative.

Three accused in septic tank murder case committed for High Court trial RALPH ‘Nick’ Tyndall, 27, of Lot 31 ‘C’ Field Sophia; Anthony De Paul Hope, called ‘Papa’, 26, of Lot 55 William Street, Kitty; and Kevin O’Neil, 26, of Seaforth Street, Campbellville, accused of murdering Colleen Forrester on December 27, 2008 at William Street, Campbellville, Georgetown and dumping her body in a septic tank, were again committed to stand trial in the High Court after conclusion of their second Preliminary Inquiry (PI). The first PI, conducted before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton, had resulted in the three being committed to stand trial at the High Court. The case was quashed by Justice Diana Insanally on October 28, 2013 and a new preliminary inquiry was ordered. In making the order, the defence submissions were accepted in support of a preliminary objection, which claimed that an unsworn statement of a child of tender age was the only evidence on which the Committal Order was based. A voir dire (a trial within a trial) will have to be held to determine admissibility of caution statements by the accused. At the last PI, a voir dire had been started, but was not completed.

The judge, having listened to the submissions in the absence of the jury, told them afterwards that she was satisfied that the case was not properly brought, and would have to be sent back to the magistrate.

The second PI was conducted before Magistrate Judy Latchman, and thirteen witnesses were called by the prosecution to testify. The trial was given a completion time frame of four months. It was sent before Magistrate Latchman on October 28, 2013, and the PI commenced on November 15 last.

That PI was completed, after both defence counsels and the prosecution had made their submissions. The trio was informed that, based on the evidence, the court had found that a prima facie case had been established against them for the offence of murder, and there is sufficient evidence for them to stand a trial at the next practical sitting of the High Court.

NICIL lauds GNNL for creditable performance under difficult circumstances

By Vanessa Narine MRS. Marcia Nadir-Sharma, a representative of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL), the major shareholder of the Guyana National Newspapers Limited, (GNNL) has lauded the company’s performance under “difficult” circumstances.

Speaking on Wednesday at GNNL’s 20th Annual General Meeting (AGM), held in the Conference Room of the Sleep Inn Hotel, Mrs. Nadir-Sharma said the company’s major shareholder is not “oblivious” to the major challenges, particularly financial, that the board and management of the GNNL have battled. She indicated NICIL’s support within its available limits, and expressed hope that the company’s profitability, as per the most recent annual report, would continue.

She also lauded the contribution of the employees in supporting the company’s performance.

The AGM considered the audited financial statements and related reports for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011.

RESOLUTION Chairman of the GNNL Board, Mr Keith Burrowes, accepted responsibility for delay in hosting the AGMs for the said years, but made it clear that contrary to the public misconceptions, the audited reports were completed.

He also echoed Sharma’s congratulations for the company’s performance, given the “serious financial problems” it had in the last few years.

Accordingly, he moved a resolution, which was passed unanimously, for aggressive advances by management to resolve the

multi-million-dollar debt owed by the Government Information Agency (GINA). Burrowes explained that, aside from that massive debt, the major contributory factors to the company’s “difficult times” have been and continue to be addressed. “Where we are now, compared to where we were, is a significant move forward,” he said.

The Chairman committed to supporting the company by advocating for much-needed additional resources, and called for diverse income-generating opportunities to be explored, expressly given the increasing competitive environment. “We need to plan for the future,” he stressed.

Burrowes is not likely to serve as board chairman for another year, and his efforts were lauded by colleague Director, David DeGroot.

General Manager of GNNL, Nandkumar Puran, whose resignation became effective on Friday (February 14), echoed similar sentiments. “As Chairman, you have done GNNL tremendous service,” Puran said.

PERFORMANCE The financial challenges referred to by Sharma and Burrowes, which significantly impacted cash flows, resulted in non-payment of dividends to shareholders. Dividends are expected to be announced once the financial position of the company is able to facilitate payments.

According to the report, the company recorded a loss of $8.2M for 2009, as compared to a loss of $7.3 in the previous year. In 2010, the company’s recorded loss was $47.1M, which was due to a writeoff of bad debts. However, the report cited increased circulation of the Guyana Chronicle and increased advertising as the contributing factors to the $32.4M profit recorded in 2011.

Revenue and expenditure were $320M and 328.2M respectively in 2009; $343.6m and $390.7M respectively in 2010; and $368M and $335.6M respectively in 2011.

In commenting on the yearly performance, the Board Chairman noted that 2009 was a tough year, and businesses were adversely affected by rising costs as the global recession took hold. The Guyana Chronicle was affected by its dependence on raw materials, particularly newsprint, and by rising energy costs. Several strategies, he said, were employed to realise the turnaround.

Continued focus, he said, was employed in 2010 to meet the challenges similar to what obtained in 2009.

The Chairman said the company saw success in 2011 with operations being “prudently” managed, with resultant revenue increase and expenditure decrease. He cited the acquisition of a computer-to-plate (CTP) equipment as a major contributor to the improved print quality of the newspaper, and noted that many challenges are expected to be reported on in 2012, but he was nevertheless confident of success.

The reports of the auditors and the Auditor General, besides those of Bisheswar, Seebaran and Co. and Maurice Solomon and Co. reflected a qualified opinion for three years.

The opinion in 2009 was as a result of an outstanding balance of $58.9M, which Finance Controller Moshamie Ramotar explained at Mrs. Nadir-Sharma’s request as being reflective of non-payments

by GINA. In 2010 and 2011, the qualified opinions were a result of acquisition of furniture without substantiating documentation. The Finance Controller explained that those were donations, and the documentation was requested from donors.

Those matters aside, the auditors concluded that the rest of the financial statements were fairly presented.

National Geographic team here for fifth filming of Monster Fish series

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally THE Ministry of Tourism and the Guyana Tourism Authority have introduced to the media, the team from National Geographic that is presently in Guyana filming its fifth series of a documentary titled “Monster Fish.”

Mr Indranauth Haralsingh, Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority, thanked the team and explained on Friday at a press briefing that National Geographic has endorsed Guyana for 2014 in terms of listing the country among the top 20

destinations to visit in 2014.

The National Geographic team is again here to help in promoting destination Guyana, and to highlight Guyana’s adventures, flora and

‘I can clearly say Guyana exceeds my expectations.

–Director/ Producer Erin Buxton fauna, culture, communities and ecology. The team arrived in Guyana on January 30 and is in search of the wolf fish, locally known as the haimara. The team began its

journey in Massakenari, a Wai Wai village located on the Upper Essequibo Coast, and filmed and fished with the aim of finding the largest possible haimara.

Mr Duane De Freitas of Dadanawa Ranch was in charge of the team’s ground logistics and coordination. Director and producer of the series, Ms Erin Buxton, who is on her first trip to Guyana, said she had many expectations because she had heard a lot about the country and the diversity of fish species. She noted also that a great deal of Guyana’s rainforest is still intact. “I can clearly say it exceeds my expectations,” she declared.

From page 14 and Fish Biologist, noted that for the six years of the show, Guyana has given the team its best fishing experience, and the country also has the highest diversity of fish. The team noted that the diversity of species of fish found has made their filming rather trouble-free.

Tourism Minister (ag), Mr Irfaan Ali also expressed grat-

itude to the team for undertaking the project of filming the documentary and what would be an impressive portrayal of Guyana’s diversity. He reiterated that this is the foundation of Guyana’s tourism product: nature, community and adventure-based tourism; and he said it is in Guyana’s interest to promote as well as protect itself through this medium. The minister noted that the Monster

Fish show is viewed by thousands of people worldwide, and that, he said, would promote Guyana on a large scale.

The Tourism Minister also highlighted a project that is currently being undertaken and in which the team may find an interest -- sports fishing for cuffum.

The National Geographic series on the Monster Fish commenced in 2007 and is

Children’s Costume Road Parade…

Showcases energy, vibrancy of Guyana’s youth in a kaleidoscope of colours

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally THE Children’s Costume Road Parade, which yesterday culminated the children’s Mashramani programme for

2014, can aptly be described as a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, as thousands of children, accompanied by adults and elderly folks, who braved the hot sun and intermittent

rain to enjoy the spectacle and celebrate the parade in true Guyanese style.

With more than 50 entries for this year’s parade, it was a delight to see our children make

their costumes come to life as they depicted the current issues in Guyana, or our folklore, with the vibrancy and vigour see page 18

‘De Professor’ retains Calypso Monarch Crown with melodious, humourous ‘telling the Truth’

By Alex Wayne W I T H r a u n c h y e n e r g y, scorching lyrics and the resounding support of a large revelling crowd, reigning adult Calypso Monarch, Lester ‘De Professor’ Charles blazed a scorching trail at Banks DIH Thirst Park on Friday night to retain his prestigious title with his melodious and humorous piece: “Telling the Truth.”

The 2014 Calypso Monarch performed with panache. His entry brought the crowd to its feet in wild jubilation as persons exploded with laughter, pranced and performed jovial gimmicks at suggestions and declarations of his lyrics.

In second place was the captivating Roger Hinds, while Berbician Kenroy ‘Mighty Believer’ Fraser was adjudged worthy of the third position. In fourth place was the delectably curvy diva, Dawn ‘Lady D’ Edwards.

Opening the show, Garfield ‘Mighty Roots’ Campbell performed his high-tempo piece, ‘Bus Ride’, which instantly found favour with the audience.

His song spoke about the lawlessness, vulgarity and disorder encountered by the elderly on the minibuses, and the need for drivers and conductors to show respect to their elders.

This paved the way for Dawn ‘Queen Dairy’ Barrow to perform ‘De Hammer Man’ with her usual pomp and fanfare. Her hilarious costume evoked hysterical laughter from the gathering, and the catchy tempo had sections of the crowd shaking hips and tapping feet in unison.

Her song narrated the unemployment dilemma, which she suggested forces teenage girls to seek ‘easy sexual employment’ in the interior, and contributes to human trafficking in those locations and other issues. She received lusty applause for her efforts.

Next to come was Kenroy

‘Mighty Believer’ Fraser, who performed ‘Tell dem leh deh Know’. And the crowd welcomed his selection as he sang of marginalisation and favouritism which he claimed were present in certain sections of our society.

Normally, Karen ‘Queen Maceeba’ Bennett would produce good songs, but many in the audience remarked that her Friday night selection dangled

presentation comforting.

Then it was time for Roger ‘Young Bill Rogers’ Hinds to take centre stage. And he did that, appearing in a wheel chair adorned in an infant costume (pampers, nursing bottle and the works) much to the delight of his followers. He was spicy as usual, and his rendition, ‘I ain’t singing bout Dat’, unfurled a tale that suggested those in high position create the lyrics and

Lester ‘De Professor’ Charles, after winning the 2014 Adult Calypso Crown.

‘Roger Hinds belting out his rendition, ‘I ain’t singing bout Dat’. dangerously on the border of obscenity, as her ‘Chinese fuh cup’ intonations suggested. She sang about the Chinese race invading Guyana, and hinted that it appeared as if they were to her to ‘tek ovah’ Nevertheless, she was well applauded by the audience when she left the stage in a shimmering gold Chinese costume that had her dubbed the real Guyanese Chiney’.

The Mighty Sniper was very good on stage as he belted out ‘Why dem ban de Calypso’; and Dawn ‘Lady D’ Edwards was equally pleasurable as she appeared in a queen-sized ‘tropical jungle cat costume’ to perform ‘Deh ban Dat’. She narrated a tale of popular media entities refusing to play Calypso entries, and with good antics and accompanying props, made her

commentary for calypsonians.

With its real kaiso flava, the rythum took many back to the days when really tropical Calypsoes emitted from the very bowels of the Caribbean. He, of course, departed with much laughter and resounding approval from the audience.

Junior Calypso Monarch Shontelle Gittens entered in style with a ‘Chinese procession’, and delivered well, as she gave the audience ‘Chinese Tekking Ovah’. Her song spoke of the ever increasing presence of Chinese nationals in Guyana, and their wit and smart demeanour when it comes to marketing their products.

Next to come was John ‘Ras’ Marcus, singing ‘Don’t cry Amelia’. It was very apparent that he attempted to infuse

creativity as he tried to tell a story of the ‘Amelia Falls’, but somewhere along the line he seemed to have missed the punch line, and his intentions were lost to the audience at more than one interval.

Derrick ‘Bright Colours’ Mangal was a total disaster as usual, using up much of his stage time to thank sponsors before plunging into a shaking rendition of ‘Dem want me fuh Change’, which was laced with vague lyrics and an unfinished

story line. He seemed to have realised he messed up totally, since he was seen hurrying from the venue right after his performance.

Lester ‘De Professor ’ Charles came on stage like a tornado to defend his title with every intention of destroying any competition in his path.

While most of the crowd was previously rooting for Roger Hinds, things changed instantly when this Linden-based artiste hit the stage full of energy and

‘calypso fire’.

As he brought out enticing heaps of lyrics that spoke of present day issues, the crowd came to its feet in wild celebration, and thereafter pronounced him ‘king of the night’ long before the judges had decided his victory.

The gathering was also treated to pleasurable performances from Kross Kolor Records’ Tenneica De Freitas and the X-Factor Dance Group.

City find scoring touch to beat Chelsea in FA Cup

By Toby Davis (REUTERS) - Manchester City rediscovered their swagger to beat Chelsea 2-0 and move into the FA Cup quarter-finals yesterday with Manuel Pellegrini winning the battle of tactical wits against Jose Mourinho.

Stevan Jovetic and Samir Nasri scored either side of halftime for City as Pellegrini finally fell upon a winning formula to get one over his managerial rival having lost both Premier League fixtures this season.

“We wanted revenge today,” City captain Vincent Kompany told ITV sport.

“From the word go we were hard in the challenges and we did not give them anything. It is a good victory from us.”

The result completed a difficult week for Mourinho, whose side drew with West Bromwich Albion in the league on Tuesday, and returned City to winning

ways after their defeat by Chelsea 12 days ago was followed by a draw with Norwich City.

City, who had drawn a blank in their previous two games having scored more than 100 goals this season, will be joined in the draw for the last eight by holders Wigan Athletic and Sunderland.

Ben Watson, who grabbed the winner when Wigan shocked Manchester City in last year’s final, continued his love affair with the competition by firing the second-tier side to a 2-1 upset victory at Premier League strugglers Cardiff City.

Sunderland punished Southampton for taking the competition too lightly and making a raft of changes, with a 1-0 defeat thanks to a stunning strike from Craig Gardner.

Johnson fires Australia to crushing victory over South Africa MITCHELL Johnson secured his best Test figures as Australia wrapped up a crushing 281-run victory over South Africa on day four of the first Test.

The 32-year-old left-arm paceman, man of the series as Australia whitewashed England in the Ashes, took match figures of 12 for 127 at Centurion.

Johnson followed his first-innings 7-68 with 5-59 as the Proteas were dismissed for 200 in their second inning You never play a perfect game but it felt really good out there,” he said.

Australia captain Michael Clarke added: “Mitchell is on top of his game.

He has amazing pace, is fit and strong, and executes his

plans perfectly.

“Statistics don’t lie and his record is as good as any fast bowler I have ever played with.”

Johnson’s figures were also a record for any bowler in Tests at Centurion.

Australia declared after 3.2 overs of day four having added only two runs to their overnight 288-3 second innings total.

Chasing an unlikely 482 to win the hosts - number one in the world Test rankings slumped to 12-2 as Johnson accounted for openers Alviro Petersen and captain Graeme Smith.

Johnson added the wicket of JP Duminy before tea and continued his assault after the interval with the

dismissals of Ryan McLaren and AB de Villiers, who followed up his 91 in the first innings by top-scoring with 48 in the second.

The fast bowler was ably supported by Peter Siddle, who claimed the wickets of Faf du Plessis and Robin Peterson, and Ryan Harris, who chipped in with the dismissals of Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn.

South Africa captain Graeme Smith admitted: “We were outplayed from the word go. It is one of the most disappointing four days we’ve had for a long time.”

The second Test of the three-match series starts in Port Elizabeth on Thursday.

Rahane puts 90s wobbles out of mind to score maiden ton (REUTERS)-Ajinkya Rahane consciously ignored that he was closing in on his first Test century on the second day of the second Test against New Zealand yesterday, mindful that he had fallen in the 90s against South Africa when he was too keen to achieve the milestone.

Rahane top-scored with 118 for India and contributed to valuable partnerships with Virat Kohli (38), captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (68) and pace bowler Zaheer Khan (22) to guide the visitors to 438, an overall lead of 246 runs.

New Zealand finished the day struggling on 24 for one, still needing 222 runs to make the visitors bat again after Peter Fulton was trapped leg before for one by Zaheer in the second over of the innings.

“During the 90s when me and Zaheer were batting, I wasn’t thinking about my hundred,” Rahane told reporters at the Basin Reserve.

“In South Africa when I got 96, I wanted to get that

hundred because the first hundred is really special,” he added of the score he got against the Proteas in Durban last December.

because we were eight wickets down and Zaheer Khan was batting.

“I told him I’d take four to five balls and take a single on

Ajinkya Rahane top scored for India with 118.

“This time I wasn’t thinking about my hundred. I just wanted to play one ball at a time and keep as much strike as possible

the last ball (and) that really helped me because I didn’t think about what was going to happen.”

A prolific run scorer at first class level, the 25-yearold made his one-day debut in 2011 and was selected for tours but was unable to break into the lineup that included Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman in the Test side.

He finally cracked the Test team against Australia last year when Shikhar Dhawan was injured and settled into the number six position on India’s tour of South Africa late last year.

Rahane scored 209 runs in four innings against Graeme Smith’s side at an average of almost 70, though getting out for 96 in Durban obviously rankled him.

“When you get out for 96 it counts as 50. So I just wanted to be there as long as possible and play my shots,” he said. “I’m really glad that I got a hundred.

“A test hundred is always special. Obviously the first hundred will be remembered for a long time so it’s a special hundred for me.”

Rahane, who counts Dravid as his role model, said he owed the former batting great for helping him achieve his goals of making the Test team.

“I’ve been following him from my childhood,” Rahane said.

“He’s my role model. I played with him for India ... I really learned a lot on the field as well as off the field.”

While Rahane had buried the nagging doubt of having

missed out on a Test century, he was still not convinced that he had cemented his place in an Indian side that is going through transition.

“I’m not thinking about that. I always take one game at a time and I just want to improve one game at a time,” he said.

“Tomorrow is a crucial day so I’m just looking forward to that and I’m sure the boys will do well.

India beat Pakistan on day two of ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2014 SARFARAZ Khan and Sanju Samson hit excellent half-centuries and Deepak Hooda took five wickets as defending champion India defeated two-time former winner and traditional rival Pakistan by 40 runs on day two of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup UAE 2014 in front of Star Sports cameras at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Khan scored an invaluable 74 and Samson chipped in with a priceless 68 as the two batsmen put on 119 runs for the fifth wicket to lift India from 94 for four to 262 for seven in 50 overs.

Openers Sami Aslam (64) and Imam-ul-Haq (39) then provided Pakistan a flying start of 109 runs, but the green shirts failed to maintain the momentum against some disciplined bowling, led by Deepak Hooda (five for 41), and athletic fielding to be bowled out for 222.

This was India’s third victory in eight matches over Pakistan in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup. Overall, India now leads 12-8 in 21 U19 matches to date.

In the other matches of the day, opener Shadman Islam became the first batsman of the 2014 tournament to hit a century as Bangladesh gave Afghanistan a cricket lesson when it won by 10 wickets at Abu Dhabi Oval 2, three-time former winner Australia thumped Namibia by 101 runs at Zayed Cricket Stadium and Scotland made short work of Papua New Guinea (PNG) by six wickets at ICC Academy 1.

Shadman Islam slapped 14 fours and a six in an unconquered 126 that came off 142 deliveries, while Joyraz Sheik’s 81 not out from 114 balls included 11 fours as Bangladesh achieved the 213 runs target with more than seven overs to spare. Earlier, Mosaddek Hossain took three for 19 and Rahatul Ferdous bagged two for 38 as Afghanistan collected 212 with Mohammad Mujtaba top scoring with 47.

Opener Matthew Short missed a century by four runs as Australia, winner in 1988, 2002 and 2010, had an easy sailing at Zayed Cricket Stadium where it overpowered Namibia by 101 runs.

Short hit nine fours in a 138-ball 96 and featured in an 80-run second wicket stand with Jaron Morgan (33), which was followed by a 100-run third wicket stand with Ben McDermott (45) as Australia scored 242 for seven after electing to bat first. In turn, Namibia was bowled out for 141 as Matthew Fotia and James Bazley equally shared six wickets between them conceding 23 and 25 runs, respectively.

The only positive for Namibia from an otherwise disappointing day was an all-round performance by Bredell Wessells. With his medium-fast bowling, Wessells returned figures of four for 40 and then contributed 43 runs with the bat that included five fours and a six.

Short later said: “It’s a bit disappointing not going all the way to a century, but the boys batted pretty well. One of the aims of today was to bat well throughout the middle overs and we had a few good

partnerships through the middle.”

Scores in brief: In Pool A, India beat Pakistan by 40 runs at Dubai International Cricket Stadium India 262-7, 50 overs (Sarfaraz Khan 74, Sanju Samson 68, Akhil Herwadkar 41, Ankush Bains 24, Deepak Hooda 22 not out; Irfanullah Shah 2-32, Karamat Ali 2-37) Pakistan 222 all out, 48.4 overs (Sami Aslam 64, Imam-ul-Haq 39, Saud Shakeel 32, Zia-ul-Haq 21; Deepak Hooda 5-41) Man of the match – Sarfaraz Khan (India) In Pool A, Scotland beat Papua New Guinea (PNG) by six wickets at ICC Academy 1 PNG 108 all out, 36.3 overs (Ross McLean 3-15, Chayank Gosain 3-17, Mark Watt 2-23) Scotland 110-4, 29.4 overs (Zander Muir 39 not out, Nick Farrar 26; Alei Nao 2-28, Kabua Morea 2-30) Man of the match – Zander Muir (Scotland) In Pool B, Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 10 wickets at Abu Dhabi Oval 2 Afghanistan 212 all out, 50 overs (Mohammad Mujtaba 47, Hashmatullah Shaidi 43, Nasir Ahmadzai 41; Mosaddek Hossain 3-19, Rahatul Ferdous 2-38)

Cricket celebrates one year to ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

SUNDAY CHRONICLE February 16, 2014

WITH exactly one year to go before the first ball is bowled in Christchurch in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, Angelo Mathews of Sri Lanka, Misbah-ul-Haq of Pakistan and South Africa’s AB de Villiers preview ICC’s flagship event and talk about their sides’ preparations for the prestigious tournament.

Mathews, who missed the final against India in Mumbai in 2011 due to an injury, said Sri Lanka was aiming to be in the best possible shape when it takes on New Zealand in the opening match of the tournament in Christchurch on 14 February.

“We need to peak at the right time, and we need to peak going into the World Cup, so that’s going to be the main challenge for all of us. We need to stay positive and play our brand of cricket. I think the mental approach is going to play a vital role, because going into a World Cup, we don’t need to put a lot of pressure on ourselves.

“We all know that it’s probably the biggest event that you can participate in. So it is a privilege, and we need to take it like that and enjoy our game.”

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq said he was looking forward to leading his side in Australia and New Zealand for the tournament that the green shirts won in 1992 under Imran Khan. The 39-year-old middle-order batsman believed his side had the ability and potential but emphasised that the team that peaks at the right time will win on 29 March.

“Pakistan won its only ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 1992. So, you can well imagine my excitement and anxiousness. I’m sure a lot of cricketers, like me, will have their eyes on the World Cup and will be hoping that they’re selected for this prestigious tournament.

“You don’t require extra motivation when you represent your country, but returning to the environment or territory where you reached the zenith of glory 22 years ago can provide that extra confidence and boost you need to excel in a high-pressure tournament like the World Cup. “Past records and current form are good discussion points but as the Pakistan side showed the world in 1992, the team that peaks at the right time, whose players remain fit and fire in key matches, and wins the most important matches, will emerge as the champion in 2015,” Misbah said.

Previewing his side’s opener against India, Misbah said: “It is interesting that our last game in the 2011 World Cup was against India and the first in the 2015 will be against the same opposition. We lost in Mohali and then again in Colombo and Birmingham in the ICC World Twenty20 2012 and ICC Champions Trophy 2013, respectively. But, we’re a side that is capable of winning big matches and high-profile tournaments.

“I’m confident that the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 will be a tournament that will provide the thrill and excitement any spectator would want to see in a truly global event.”

South Africa captain AB de Villiers, the number-one ranked batsman in One-Day Internationals, said that like any other cricketer, he was also looking forward to playing in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

“If everything goes according to plan, I’m looking forward to the tournament. I think it’s going to be a very exciting event and will be my first one as captain. Obviously, it will be a huge honour and privilege to play in the World Cup, represent your country and have lots of success.

“Representing your country in a tournament like that is a proud moment in the life of any cricketer. So, that’s the way I see it and I’m really excited to go out there and enjoy myself,” said de Villiers, whose side will take on neighbour Zimbabwe in Hamilton on 15 February in its opening match.

Talking about his team’s chances and the title contenders, de Villiers said: “I truly believe, without saying it in a negative way, we’re certainly one of the most dangerous teams but I don’t believe we are the favourites.

“We know we have to get things in order. We have to get a few things in place and a few to go our way for us to win the tournament. But there’s no reason why things shouldn’t go our way.

“I’m just very happy with the side I’ve got at the moment. The squad hasn’t been finalised yet, but I’m very happy with what I’ve seen leading up to this tournament, and very excited and confident that we’re going to have a good tournament.

“You always have to mention the home countries. New Zealand has been playing good ODI cricket of late and I don’t think they can definitely call themselves underdogs anymore and Australia, certainly, is the number-one ranked side in the world. Then, India is the defending champion, the Champions Trophy winner and the number-two ranked side in the world. An outsider that always does well in World Cups is Sri Lanka,” said de Villiers.

West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo said he was looking forward to appearing in his third World Cup and aimed to arrive for the tournament with a number of victories under his belt.

“The ICC Cricket World Cup is every cricketer’s biggest dream and if everything goes well this will be my third World Cup and I’m really excited about it,” he said, adding: “I know everyone else in the West Indies team and associated with it is very excited about it. You get excited to be involved in such a huge international event and I’m looking forward to doing something very special as a player and as a team.

“I just want us to play together as a group and develop a squad of players who will make up the core of the team for the World Cup. We need to start winning more matches and series, while at the same time enjoying each other’s success and enjoying each other’s company. That would give us the confidence to know that we can do well come the time of the World Cup next year. We need some wins under our belt.”

West Indies opens its campaign against Ireland on 16 February in Nelson and previewing the pool that also includes India, Pakistan, South Africa, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Zimbabwe, Bravo said: “This is a very good group. I had a look at it and I saw when and where we play our games.

“It’s a tough group but I expect us to do well and qualify. We have to take it one step at a time. We will come up against some great teams and some dangerous teams but we believe we will make it to the quarter-finals and beyond.

“Conditions will be testing but the team we have is good enough in any condition – we have good fast bowlers, good spinners, good batsmen – we have quality in every department. So, it’s a matter of putting it all together when the time comes.

“In New Zealand you can expect the ball to do a bit – a bit more than you will get in Australia – where the ball will bounce a bit more, but it will be ‘straight-on’ bounce, while in New Zealand you can expect ‘side-way’ movement. I expect the tournament to be great – two great countries for cricket.

About ICC CWC 2015 The 11th edition of the tournament will be played in Australia and New Zealand from 14 February to 29 March and will include ICC’s 10 Full Members as well as Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which qualified through the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Championship and the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2014.

Only GSA, GBA have responded to GOA doping requests PRESIDENT of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) Kamal Juman-Yassin is concerned that its affiliates are not adhering to request made for athletes/associations to submit the necessary information regarding doping in sports.

Yassin who was addressing members of the media yesterday at Olympic House said the GOA had requested from its affiliates that they submit the request forms as to their athletes’ daily whereabouts, training schedule and other information so that the GOA can keep records and have on the spot checks for drug use.

This comes in the wake of Guyana’s Gumendra Shewdas being stripped of his gold medal title which he won last year in the United States.

According to Yassin, the GOA requested from its affiliates information that will assist to determine weather drug tests should be carried out on athletes, prior to them being selected to represent Guyana at international or regional events.

Yassin said to date only the Guyana Squash Association (GSA) and the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) have responded favourably.

The GOA boss lamented the fact that despite repeated

KAMAL JUMAN-YASSIN

Smith, Brathwaite ...

From back page balls.

An unbeaten 22 from Benn, which included two fours and a six back over the head of Cooper, piloted Barbados who later lost Ashley Nurse (11) and Fidel Edwards (01), to 252 from 48.4 overs, as Cooper and Narine fought back for the home team.

In reply, Trinidad raced to 57 from 8 overs, with Lewis hitting Edwards for a pair of boundaries while Simmons, who was dropped by Williams at second slip off Holder, lifting the said bowler over point for 6 as the duo posted 50 from 7 overs.

However, Lewis who survived many close chances off Holder was caught at third man

by Edwards off Holder for a 26 balls 27, decorated with five fours and he was followed by Ottley who failed to trouble the scorers, when he hooked at one from Holder and found Smith.

Entered Darren Bravo to a round of applause at 61 for 2 and opened his account with an audacious punch for four through extra cover off Carlos Brathwaite, but lost Simmons 19 (31 balls, 2x4; 1x6) who was bowled by the same bowler two balls later at 67 for 3.

Skipper Dwayne Bravo (06) joined his younger brother Darren, but he did not last long, as he picked out Stoute at midwicket, as his team slipped from 57 without loss to 75 for 4 in the 13th over.

A short rising delivery from Edwards was pulled for six by Darren Bravo, forcing Stoute to call on the services of the lanky Benn at the start of the 19th over, with T&T 93 for 4 and immediately he struck, inducing Darren Bravo 17 (1x4, 1x6) to edge one to Nurse at slip, at 94 for 5.

T&T inched to 100 for 5 after 27 overs with Ramdin 2 and Mohammed 9, which moved to 129 for 5, when Ramdin pulled Benn over squareleg for 6, following which he cut Carlos Brathwaite through point for four, pushing the score to 140 for 5, before Mo-

Man-of-the-Match Dwayne Smith hammed was caught at the wicket by Dowrich off Benn two runs later for 26.

When Narine (00) picked out Smith at wide mid-off, off Brathwaite one run later, the

home team was staring straight down the barrel of defeat which was later underlined when Cooper (09) went lbw to Carlos Brathwaite at 160 for 8.

As he did in the preliminary round contest when T&T lost by 28 runs, Ramdin showed resistance and a fighting spirit, hitting Carlos Brathwaite for a pair of boundaries, posting his 50 from 68 balls with four fours and his second six, this time over squareleg off Edwards in the 41st over that had cost Barbados 12 runs.

Fittingly for Barbados, Smith brought Ramdin’s cameo innings to an end, trapping the batsman lbw for 68, but only after he had struck him for two of his six fours earlier in the over, which was backed by his two sixes in his 76 balls innings.

It was all over for the home team, when Emrit, who had struck both Nurse and Smith back over their heads for sixes, was needlessly run out by Edwards for 27 (18balls, 2x6, 1x4), after Rampaul (9*) steered Smith to third man.

requests, other associations have not responded.

This Yassin believes could have negative consequences on Guyana’s participation at international events.

Yassin said the GOA especially requested from the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) the status of their athletes that have been selected for the South American Games which will commence in Chile on March 7, but they are still to get a reply.

According to Yassin, the boxers and track athletes that will be attending the South American Games in Chile will be judged by their performances at that Games to determine if

they can represent Guyana at the Glasgow 2014 XX Commonwealth Games which will be officially opened on July 23.

Chef-de-Mission of the Guyana contingent for the South American Games, Gokarn Ramdhani in brief remarks, yesterday, said the flight arrangements have already been completed and the Guyana delegation is awaiting the date of departure.

The former Chief magistrate, Yassin, said by participating at the South American Games, and hopefully the XX Commonwealth Games and the staging of the Guyana Boxing Association’s Goodwill tourna-

ment, is proof of the work the GOA is doing to ensure local athletes get the needed exposure.

Meanwhile, a second Summer Youth Olympic Games is billed for Nanjing, China beginning August 28 and Guyana is expected to be represented by four athletes.

The submission of names has to be done by next month, and according to GOA’s executive member Dr. Karen Pilgrim, Guyana plans to send one male and one female swimmer, one female table tennis player and one male track and field athlete.

Morgan withdraws from participation in South American Games

By Michael DaSilva GUYANA’s top female distance runner Alika Morgan has withdrawn from partici-

ALICIA FORTUNE pating in the South American Games slated for Chile from March 7.

Addressing members of the media yesterday at Olympic House, High Street, Kingston, president of the Guyana Olympic Association K. Juman-Yassin informed that Morgan will no longer be a part of the Guyana contingent that will participating in the Games.

––replaced by Alicia Fortune According to Yassin, Morgan wrote the GOA informing that she would not be available to represent Guyana at the Games since she is not adequately prepared and she was given a very short notice about her selection to represent Guyana.

The latter excuse Yassin said is not true, since Morgan knew that she was shortlisted for the Games months ago.

Yassin made it known that he is very much disappointed at Morgan who has in the past done very well for Guyana.

Yassin informed that Morgan’s place will be filled by Alicia Fortune, Guyana’s top locally based female sprinter.

TERRENCE POOLE Guyana, has never represented her country at this level and despite her age, it is only fair that she be given that opportunity.

Bahamians urged to support World Relays NASSAU, Bahamas, (CMC) – With less than 100 days to go before the staging of the inaugural International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) World Relays in the Bahamas, organisers are encouraging nationals to support the event.

Minister for Sport Dr Daniel Johnson was among the first to purchase tickets for the event at the unveiling of the ticket layout and the official logo this week.

“It’s the largest sporting event ever to be held in Bahamian sporting history,” he said. “This is the most exciting aspect of all athletic events. That’s why it’s held on the final day of competition at all track and field events.”

As small as the country is, Johnson said the Bahamas was

awarded the bid by IAAF president Lamine Diack and his executive committee because of the success of our relay teams at the IAAF World Championships and the Olympic Games.

But he said what is so unique about the Bahamas is that the IAAF gave its stamp of approval to name it the Bahamas World Relays as opposed to the Nassau World Relays as is normally the case for countries who would have been awarded the bid to host events like the London Olympic Games after the city it is held in.

In preparation for the relays, Johnson said the Bahamas Government, in conjunction with the IAAF and Mondo, whose representatives are in town now, have embarked on a resurfacing of the track in the new stadium that was built by the People’s Republic of China as a gift to the Bahamian people.

He noted that while the track was the level of class two, they had to replace it with a class one and while the renovations are currently underway, he anticipates that it will be completely ready for the Test Event on May 9-10 when they will have a free-for-all session to iron out all of the kinks to ensure that the LOC can handle all of the logistics in pulling off the relays.

The IAAF World Relays will be held May 24-25 at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium.

By Michael DaSilva

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar will on March 3 receive the Queen’s Baton as it journeys through Guyana on its way to Glasgow, Scotland for the official opening of the XX Commonwealth Games.

The Queen’s Baton Relay is a much loved tradition of the Commonwealth Games and symbolizes the coming together of all nations and territories in preparation for the four-yearly festival of sport and culture.

Addressing members of the media, yesterday, President of the Guyana Olympic Association Kamal Juman-Yassin said the baton will arrive in Guyana on March 2 and on the following morning it will be handed over to President Ramotar at State House and President Ramotar is expected to take it along the route for a short distance.

“I know President Ramotar walks every morning as a form of exercise so I hope he will walk with it for a short distance,” Yassin quipped.

Yassin said the Baton will traverse a few of the streets in Georgetown before making its way to the Providence National Stadium before going to Aishalton in Region 8 and it is tentatively set to pass through Annai in Region 9 also.

The British High Commission in Guyana in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports and the GOA will host a reception on the evening of March 3.

Yassin said the GOA asked several schools to participate in the Relay and they have all agreed to have their students be a part of the activity.

The GOA’s committee responsible for Guyana’s leg of the relay is headed by Dr. Karen Pilgrim who gave a detailed account of how the Baton was made and what it is capable of doing.

According to Dr. Pilgrim, the Baton brings a message from her majesty the Queen of England and throughout its journey

through 71 nations (a distance of 190,000 kilometres) it will be under tight security.

She said the GOA is very pleased that the Baton which is currently in South Africa will be here in Guyana for the two-day stay.

Yassin informed that the British Broadcasting Centre is monitoring the movements of the Baton and airs where it’s at every morning, “so this will be a very good opportunity for Guyana to showcase how we live”.

Ya s s i n w h o i s t h e vice-president of the Americas during the journey of the Baton will take the Baton to Canada and Belize as it journeys back to Scotland for the official opening of the Games which commences on July 23 and concludes on August 3.

The Queen’s Baton Relay commenced on October 9 last year to unify the two bilPRESIDENT DONALD lion people of the CommonRAMOTAR wealth, in a celebration of Sport, Diversity and Peace.

In reply, T&T got a positive start from Simmons and Evin Lewis who posted 57 for the first wicket, but fell away to the pace/spin combination of Carlos Brathwaite (4 for 41), Jason Holder (2 for 30) and Suleiman Benn (2 for 29) and were bowled out for 235 in 45.5 overs, despite a resilient 68 from Denesh Ramdin.

After a sedate start in which they scored 13 from the first four overs, Smith, opened his shoulders to hit Dwayne Bravo for two fours in the fifth over, followed by a six over backward square leg off Ravi Rampaul, only to be given a life by Lewis in the same position next de-

The 30 year old Smith said thanks by hitting Rayad Emrit for two fours in successive overs, posting Barbados’ 50 from 8.3 overs with his second four, in front of a packed to capacity venue.

Dwayne Bravo brought Sunil Narine into the attack at the start of the 10 th, but the Barbadian batsmen were watchful against him, especially Smith who posted his 50 from 47 balls with seven fours and a six.

He celebrated his half century by hitting Dwayne Bravo for a 4 and 6 off successive deliveries in the 19th over, realising Barbados’ 100 with the six, with

his contribution being 67 while Brathwaite, who came into his own with a sweetly timed four on his toes off Emrit, on 27.

The introduction of Simmons in the 21st over saw the demise of Brathwaite who edged one through to Ramdin, while Smith picked out Dwayne Bravo at deep midwicket five runs later, after hitting 10 fours and two sixes in his 77 balls innings.

Their demise brought together Jonathan Carter and his skipper Kevin Stoute, who proceeded to add 63 for the third wicket from 12.2 overs, with Carter stroking three fours in his 49 before he was lbw to Narine at 195 for 3 in the 38th over.

A triple strike by Kevon Cooper who removed Carlos Brathwaite (09), Stoute (15) and Shane Dowrich (01), saw Barbados slipping to 210 for 6, after Carlos Brathwaite hit Cooper for six to raise the 200, only to lose his middle stump two deliveries later, while Stoute and Dowrich were lbw off the first and last delivery of Cooper’s next over.

When Yannick Ottley held a low return catch offered by Kenroy Williams (01) and Jason Holder was lbw to Narine for 05, Barbados were 218 for 8, losing six quick wickets for 23 runs in the space of 24 see page 29
