President lauds GGDMA … calls for members to heed their civic duty

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has extended commendation to the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) for establishing a new world record in gold production, but advised that the association pay more heed to its patriotic duty of developing the human capital in the country.

He was at the time speaking at the GGDMA annual Christmas dinner and dance Wednesday at the Pegasus Hotel, also attended by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud.

“Congratulations for a job well-done,” President Ramotar told the gathering, referring to the fact that gold production, today stood at 461,000 ounces, the highest production ever, surpassing a previous high level of 455, 918 ounces, recorded in 2001, which included the declarations of both Omai and small scale operators.

The president expressed the belief that increased use of new technology is the cause for the augmented production.

“The industry itself has a great future,” the president said, but one that must be done with

the realisation of the environmental aspect of the activity.

“The question of preserving our environment, preserving what we have, we also see that it has great benefit for our people, economically but more over, it provides a service for the whole world as far as fighting climate change is concerned. We all know that climate change is upon us, and if we can make a contribution to slow it down and to reverse it, that is very important to us.”

Significantly though, the president noted that mining is a finite operation, and as such stakeholders must ensure that investments going into mining must also be used to develop the human capital.

“I have mentioned on several occasions, at several forums, that it is the quality of people that will ensure the quality and level of development of our country, and therefore, I would like to see more money going into developing the human capital; that means, I am asking you to also discharge your patriotic duty and ensure taxes are paid so that we may provide education and the best quality of education for our people, so that

President Donald Ramotar speaking to the gathering at the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association’s (GGDMA’s) dinner and dance they could go on and continue to build our country long after some of the resources would have been exhausted,” he said.

UNDP helps Parliament to move into technological age THE National Assembly’s move into the information technology age has been supported by the United Nations Development Project (UNDP).

According to Speaker of the House, Raphael Trotman, a donation of 15 Samsung galaxy tablets, five Dell Optiplex desktop computers and one Dell laptop computer was made yesterday.

He stated that with the donation, the Assembly will reduce the “use and waste of volumes of paper,” among other benefits.

The Speaker added that the donation, valued at some US$45,000, will see political parties on both sides of the House benefitting.

“Undoubtedly, the time to begin to embrace and use modern technologies to aid in the work of the National Assembly is now,” Trotman said.

Parliament, he added, will be embarking on a Paperless Parliament Test Project (PPTP), a four month initiative that will see a selection of a group of parliamentarians and staff members, who will report to the Parliamentary Management Committee, as well as the UNDP.

The 2013 production, in face of challenges experienced this year, speaks to the ‘resilience and commitment’ of the small and medium scale miners, Minister Persaud said.

The minister said that he is worried when some seek to demonise the success in the industry, noting that, “there is absolutely nothing wrong in pointing out the challenges, and there are many challenges, and there are many issues in the mining industry that we will have to confront, because all is not well, but that is not to say that we must discount the success and the progress and misrepresent what is taking place in the industry,” Minister Persaud said.

He noted that about this time last year, he was living with a no-confidence vote in the mining sector, and this time around, a newspaper has expressed a no-confidence vote in him for being ‘too pro-mining.

“I am just focusing on what needs to be done and what has to be done to take our country forward,” he said, and this translates into Guyana being an environmental model for sustainable mining. He therefore challenged the miners to aspire for this model.

President of the GGDMA, Patrick Harding, although noting that the industry has grown from strength to strength, said it had a mixed year, and while there was a historic production achievement, it took a beating with the price of gold in 2013

plummeting almost 50 per cent, against prices achieved last year.

He said the industry will still press forward and disclosed that the GGMDA is set to meet early next year to work with the President to map out the course in this regard. (GINA)

Suicide bombers kill 36 Shi’ite pilgrims in Iraq: police (Reuters) - SUICIDE bombings in Iraq killed at least 36 people on Thursday in attacks targeting Shi’ite pilgrims ahead of a major holy day next week, police said.

Two years after U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq, violence is at its highest level since 2006-7, when strife between Sunnis and Shi’ites killed tens of thousands of people.

The first major attack of the day came when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a funeral tent, killing at least 16 Shi’ite pilgrims and wounding 31 in southern Baghdad’s mainly Sunni neighborhood of Doura, police sources said.

A former Reuters reporter, Mohanad Mohammed, and his son were among those killed in the blast, a family member said.

Another bomber set himself off near Latifiya, 40 km (25 miles) south of Baghdad, amid a group of Shi’ite pilgrims of the ethnic Turkmen group who were coming from Kirkuk in the north, killing nine, medics and security sources said.

A third suicide bomb went off in Latifiya, killing another 11 people.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, which were the latest in a series targeting Shi’ite civilians and government buildings.

The attacks have killed scores of people just days before Arbaeen, which commemorates the death of the Prophet Mohammad’s grandson Hussein, a major figure in Shi’ite Islam.

Many Shi’ite pilgrims are making their way on foot to the holy Shi’ite city of Karbala, south of Baghdad, ahead of the ritual.

Shi’ites are considered apostates by Sunni militants, whose resurgence is blamed by the government partly on the impact of the increasingly sectarian war in neighboring Syria.

In a separate incident, gunmen raided the home of a government-backed Sunni “Sahwa” militia leader in western Baghdad, shooting him dead alongside his wife and two of his children, police said.

The Sahwa militias fought al Qaeda with U.S. troops in Sunni areas from 2006 to 2008, and are viewed as supporters of the Shi’ite-led government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

Putin to pardon jailed tycoon Khodorkovsky (Reuters) - PRESIDENT Vladimir Putin is to pardon one of his best known opponents, oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, after a decade in jail in what may be a gesture to critics of his human rights record before Russia hosts the Winter Olympics.

Putin made the surprise announcement that he would soon free Khodorkovsky, once Russia’s richest man, after a marathon news conference on Thursday in which he exuded confidence that he has reasserted his authority in the face of street protests.

He said two members of the Pussy Riot protest group would also be freed, but it was the about-turn on Khodorkovsky, who was due for release next August, that grabbed most attention, lifting Moscow

share prices on hopes it may mean investors have less cause to fear falling foul of Kremlin politics.

Khodorkovsky, 50, fell out spectacularly with Putin a decade ago. His company, Yukos, was broken up and sold off, mainly into state hands, following his arrest at gunpoint on an airport runway in Siberia on fraud and tax evasion charges in 2003.

He became a symbol of what investors say is the Kremlin’s abuse of the courts for political ends. The Kremlin denies this but Putin has singled Khodorkovsky out for bitter personal attacks and ignored many calls for his release.

On Thursday, however, he said: “He has been in jail already more than 10 years. This is a serious punishment.”

Saying Khodorkovsky’s mother was ill and that he had asked for clemency, he added: “I decided that with these circumstances in mind ... a decree pardoning him will be signed.”

Russian shares rose over 1 percent on the news, though later settled back by the end of the day.

A sustained rally would require “a consistent track record of implementation of market-friendly reforms - in particular, of steps to improve the judicial system, so that decisions are more predictable and property rights better protected,” a Moscow-based economist at an investment bank said.

Lawyers for Khodorkovsky initially said he had not sought clemency but his representatives later said they were trying to reach him in prison near the Arctic Circle to clarify matters.

An early release had not been expected and there had even been speculation that new charges might be brought against him, as they were before his sentence was extended in 2010 after a second trial for theft and money-laundering.

Khodorkovsky began dabbling in small business as a Moscow student Communist leader under Mikhail Gorbachev’s perestroika reforms of the late 1980s. Still in his 30s, he emerged from the cut-throat chaos of the Soviet collapse as one of the wealthiest “oligarchs” under Putin’s predecessor Boris Yeltsin.

His fall from grace after criticizing Putin, a former KGB officer, has long been held up by foreign investors as evidence of the weakness of property rights and the rule of law in Russia.

KEYIANNA JOY

By Michelle Loubon

(Trinidad Express0 The murder of six-year-old Keyana Cumberbatch brought a lot of pain to her family and citizens over the last few weeks.

Keyana’s stepfather has since been charged with her murder.

p.m., Keyianna was taken by a male relative from her apartment block home at Duncan Street, Port of Spain.

According to Noel, the gate to the apartment block was unlocked and the relative entered. He went upstairs to the apartment, where he met the children, who were alone. He

doing with the child without his (Noel’s) consent.

Noel then went to the Duncan Street apartment and questioned the other children, following which he went to the Besson Street Police Station and made a report.

Elated at having his child home on Wednesdy, Noel said:

Comforting arms: Six-year-old Keyianna Noel, who was kidnapped on Tuesday, thanks WPC Camille Yearwood after she was reunited with her father, Jasson Noel, at Besson Street Police Station, Port of Spain, on Wednesday—Photo: ANISTO ALVE On Tuesday, in a strange turn of events, another sixyear-old child with a name pronounced the same but spelt differently—Keyianna—became the centre of a family drama, raising fears for her safety.

But at the end of the day yesterday, Keyianna was happily reunited with her family.

“I feel good to come back with everybody. Love you. I love everyone in the world.

He lie and say he was going for snacks. And he carried me in two house,” a smiling Keyianna said to her father, Jasson “Rastaman” Noel, 32, and her siblings outside Besson Street Police Station in Port of Spain yesterday.

Keyianna was joined by her siblings, Jerrel, nine, Naomi, eight, and Malachai Belasco, five, outside the police station.

On Tuesday around 3.30

asked for water and who wanted to go for snacks. Keyianna said yes, but her siblings refused. He then left with Keyianna.

Noel said: “I was across the road... And he called me. I told him I am doing something by the neighbour. The gate was unlocked. When she was going, her brother, Jerrel, and Naomi told her not to go. They were pulling her back...”

Noel said Keyianna was taken by the man to his sister’s house on Tuesday, and the little girl was dropped off on the bus route in Aranjuez on Wednesday.

Besson Street police went to the bus route and brought her back to the station.

Keyianna’s father said when the child was taken, she was allowed to speak to a relative who called the man, asking what he was doing with the little girl.

Noel said he also called the man and asked him what he was

“I feel a release. I have to give the police some props. Up to now I didn’t sleep or eat. Right now, my head light-headed. I was up with the police. I just thank everybody because I know some people does say the police not working or not doing enough. In a situation like this, you have to say thanks and give thanks to the Most High. I am happy. I want to carry them home now and make sure everybody happy. I hope they get the man because what he did there, I will not like anybody to go through that.”

Noel said Keyianna was taken away “because of revenge” and not for snacks.

He said the police are treating the matter as a kidnapping.

And with Christmas around the corner, Noel said: “We are going to finish paint and put up decorations. We are going to have dinner and settle back into normal life.”

‘PNP reaps crime’

- Holness says gang resurgence could have been prevented with extension of 2010 state of emergency Adrian Frater, News Editor Western Bureau: (The Gleaner)Opposition Leader Andrew Holness is claiming the People’s National Party’s (PNP) failure to support an extension of the 2010 state of emergency has played a key role in allowing gangs to reform and crime to flourish across the island.

“Had [the PNP which now forms the Government] supported the state of emergency, which was designed to go after

the gangs, they would not now be complaining that the gangs are reforming,” stated Holness yesterday while visiting victims of violence in several of St James’ toughest inner-city communities.

The state of emergency was established during the Bruce Golding administration when fears of a breakout of violence gripped the nation during the security forces’ attempts to capture and extradite now-confessed gangster Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.

Coke, who then controlled

the Tivoli Gardens, west Kingston stronghold, was wanted by the United States on gun and drug-running charges.

He is currently serving a 23-year sentence in a US prison, three years after gang members from across the island reportedly converged in Tivoli Gardens to battle the security forces and prevent his capture. More than 70 persons were killed in violent confrontation as police and soldiers entered Tivoli to execute an extradition warrant for Coke on May 24.

Major General (retd) Joe Singh clears the air on statement he made

EDITORIAL

Another year of impressive economic growth OUR economy has once again recorded another year of impressive growth of 5% amidst a harsh external economic and financial environment. This is certainly due to the creation of conditions that are favourable for investments and sound macroeconomic stewardship, because economic growth has been sustained for several years now in difficult and challenging conditions. And, perhaps, our economic growth would have been appreciably higher had it not been for the decline in sugar production in recent years.

However, all other sectors have been showing robust growth in rice, forestry, mining and tourism, among others, and Foreign Direct Investments have also been increasing, despite strenuous efforts by some to block and discourage such investments. With regards to the latter, the latest attempt has been frenetic efforts to stop the Muri/Brasil Permission for Geological and Geographic Survey (PGGS), and of course, earlier, the Amaila Falls hydroproject, the Specialty Hospital and the CJIA expansion and modernisation project.

But despite the best efforts by those who are opposed to development, the reality is that rice production has been record breaking in recent years, with this year’s being over 532,000 tonnes-the highest ever in our history; gold production has seen the highest declaration-over 458,000 ounces and we are seeing increasing numbers of visitors in recent years.

Nevertheless, the “prophets of doom” among us do not see anything positive happening in this country and continue to spread their maddening propaganda.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says, despite a deteriorating external environment, including the deepening Euro-zone crisis, Guyana’s economy continues to be resilient. It said last year, the economy recorded another year of impressive growth of more than five per cent driven in part by high commodity prices, foreign direct investment, and domestic credit expansion to the private sector.

“Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to grow by about four per cent this year supported by increased activity in bauxite, gold, rice and the services sectors, which should offset any expected fall off in sugar production,” the IMF said. It said that while inflation remained low, an IMF team which has just concluded the yearly review of the Guyana economy, noted a marginal drop in gross foreign reserves to about four months of imports at end-June 2012, as capital imports rose.

The IMF also said that the Donald Ramotar administration has been commended for its continued prudent macroeconomic management. “Going forward, infrastructure projects led by construction of the hydro power plant at Amaila Falls (AFHP) along with private mining investments should sustain growth levels at around five per cent,” the Washington-based financial institution said.

So it is not the PPP or those who are supportive /sympathetic of it presenting a positive picture of our national economy, on the contrary, independent sources are doing this.

Home Affairs Minister and General Secretary of the PPP Clement Rohee puts it succinctly when he said:

I have noted that sections of the media have been carrying statements attributed to me in relation to the issue of natural resources extractive activities in the geographic area in south-eastern Guyana referred to as the New River Triangle. The only statement I have made was in response to a question from a Stabroek News reporter, who asked whether during my tenure as Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (1990 -2000) I was cognisant of an official policy regarding such activities. I informed the reporter that the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was aware of government’s policy that no permits were being granted for natural resources extractive activities in the New River Triangle.

As an example, I referred to when the GDF’s monitoring operations by air and ground-trooping patrols had identified alluvial mining activities in 1993 in the headwater tributaries of the Oronoque River,itself a tributary of the New River. It was brought to the attention of the Defence Board which then approved funding for a major operation to deal with this breach. The record will show that a GDF-mounted joint operation, using the element of surprise, interdicted a Brazilian civil-registered light aircraft and several nationals of Brazil at an illegal airstrip within Guyana’s territory. The airstrip, constructed in a primary forested area, was subsequently destroyed by cratering and trenching. The aircraft and persons were

brought to Georgetown where charges were laid and fines levied but subsequently waived as an outcome of diplomatic bi-laterals between Guyana and Brazil. One other outcome of this incident was an agreement for the mounting of joint GDF/Brazilian Armed Forces patrols along the Guyana-Brazil frontier to identify and interdict any illegal mining operations.

As an aspect of its operational contingency planning, the GDF has an obligation to advise the Defence Board as to the security implications of infra-structure development and extractive activities in any part of Guyana. However, and in the final analysis, it is the Government, not the GDF, that is the determinant as to whether or not extractive activities will or will not be permitted.

With specific reference to the New River Triangle, then President Jagdeo had vetoed any natural resources extractive activities in that area. His decision, I am informed, was based on the fact that given the exploitation of natural resources in the rest of Guyana, the New River Triangle is the only area where the integrity of eco-systems and biodiversity could be preserved and bequeathed to future generations.

JOSEPH G SINGH Major General (retd)

Is wage increase the panacea for alleviation of living standards?

KINDLY publish this article which will justify the government’s position of a wage increase of 5% for Public Servants.

However, I will be the first to state that in many cases wages in the private and public sectors are far from being sufficient to afford a high standard of living and in some cases a reasonable living standard. But is wage increase the panacea for the alleviation of our living standards?

The PPP/C government both under Dr Bharrat Jagdeo and His Excellency Donald Ramotar have done ‘mission impossible’ by steering the Guyana economy from the global economic meltdown and the devastating fallouts. On the other hand, if we look at the past we will see that the PNC government mismanaged, embezzled and pauperised this nation when the global economy was booming!

We must applaud the PPP/C government for changing the social and economic landscape of this country for the past twenty years. Unfortunately, over this same period, PNC cum APNU cum AFC have been doing their utmost to destroy those social and economic gains, moreso after the one seat parliamentary heist in November 2011. This date has become the Guyanese 9/11- a black day in our history.

The latest strategy of the opposition is to make the Public Servants’ 5% wage increase a political issue. We have seen APNU/ AFC in the forefront trying to win the sympathy of the striking workers so that they can win political support. We have seen Moses Nagamootoo in the forefront demanding using his melodramatic and absurd rhetoric that Minister Webster should try to live on nurses’ wages. Surely, in many instances, age, bias, and thirst for vengeance and power have taken its toll and objective reasoning has fled!

The opposition’s main contention is that monies should be diverted from vital economic investments and used to pay a wage increase of 20%. Forget about the CJIA expansion, forget about the Marriot Hotel,forget about the Amaila Falls Hydro Project and forget about the specialty hospital!

At this point an explanation is needed to clarify what is meant “The rising tide of economic growth has, as it were, lifted all boats as reflected in growing prosperity among all strata of the Guyanese society. A growing number of Guyanese people are today the proud owners of their own homes, motor vehicles and other consumer items.

“Public servants have benefited from salary increases on an annual basis which are larger than the rate of inflation, resulting in a bigger and bigger basket of goods and services.”

Rohee pointed out that Guyana recorded successes, which have been used to consistently improve the lives of all Guyanese people, at a time when other Caribbean countries are facing challenges.

“Our neighbouring Barbados Government will lay off 3,000 public servants,” he said. “But our economy is growing, old age pension has increased, subsidies for water and electricity are given to pensioners, free school uniforms for children and increase in public assistance, while at the same time the Opposition is using their one seat majority to cut funding for these programmes.”

by the term ‘inflation’. Simply put, inflation is the steady increase in the prices of goods and services over a period of time. As prices increase the purchasing power of the dollar will decrease-the dollar will buy less and less over time.

Firstly, if a wage increase is not sustained by economic growth then we will have a situation of wage-push inflation. This means that any wage increase above the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country will cause the prices of goods and services to skyrocket thereby eroding whatever wage increases were given. Our GDP is around 5%, therefore if wages and salaries are increased by 20% then the prices of goods and services will move in a similar manner.

Then there will be another demand for a higher wage increase and the inflationary spiral will continue.

The result is that we may have to pay $2,000 for a loaf of bread! Both APNU and AFC have qualified economists who know this for a fact and yet they are unreasonably and insanely insisting on a 20% increase so the question is: Do they have the interest of this nation at heart? I think not! Our GDP must increase to sustain wage increase.

Secondly, the opposition is contending that monies which should be used for capital improvement and appreciation should be used to pay the 20% wage increase being demanded. This is killing the very investment that will ultimately assist to increase the GDP and any future wage increase. To obstruct investment in economic development is the worst form of unpatriotic behaviour and sabotage. This is a deliberate move to erode the economic gains made by this government and what is more appalling is that we have the so-called educated people lending a silent ear to this strategy being unleashed by the opposition. What are the views of financial and economic analysts and some of our leading personalities such as Christopher Ram, Dr Clive Thomas and Anand Goolsarran? It is time that they publicise their views on this subject matter. They owe the Guyanese populace this much! Please justify the demand for a 20% wage increase.

Mr Granger has called the 5% offered by the government as an ‘indecent proposal’, well he ought to know, he is an expert. Can he recall the time when the PNC government implemented a total ‘wage freeze’ in this country? What kind of ‘proposal’ was that?

Why was the PNC government unable to pay a cent wage increase?

Look at the salaries of Public Servants before 1992 and compare it what they are getting now!

In conclusion, it’s every Guyanese right to live a reasonable standard of living but we must understand that any wage increase must be backed by an increase in the volume of production and productivity. The PNC mantra when they were in government was ‘produce or perish’- that mantra should be revisited by them!

I do hope that good sense will prevail in this season of love and goodwill! I do beg the combined Opposition to use the electorate to get into power,stop sabotaging the PPP/C Government at each and every opportunity! Our country comes first!

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday December 20, 2013

Stabroek News, APNU exposed for their unwarranted attacks on miners I am now comfortable to write on the issuance of the Permission of a Geological and Geophysical Survey (PGGS) issued to Muri Brazil Ventures Inc., following several revelations by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment and information provided by stakeholders within the gold mining sector.

As a medium scale progressive miner, this matter has been of special interest to me, just as many other concerned Guyanese, particularly miners. At first, I thought that APNU and the media, particularly Stabroek News, have a very good case as it related to the information that the APNU member and newspaper churned out.

However, despite the big hullabaloo by APNU and Stabroek

Cricketers and enthusiasts of Essequibo supported the cricket petition

AS the Chairman of the North Essequibo Cricket Committee and former President of the Essequibo Cricket Board, please permit me to respond to Mr. Fizul Bacchus’ letter captioned ‘MR. LUMUMBA, THE ‘’STAKEHOLDERS’’ AND GOV’T SHOULD ALL APOLOGISE’ which appeared in the Kaieteur Newspaper dated 2013-12-16.

It is quite obvious that Mr. Bacchus’s letter on behalf the Essequibo Cricket Board and by extension the Guyana Cricket Board was purposely intended to mislead the general public when he stated that 7/8 of Essequibo did not support the cricket petition which was presented to Parliament by Mr. Odinga Lumumba, MP on 2013-1212. This is far from the truth since North Essequibo, cricketers and enthusiasts from Central Essequibo, South Essequibo, Wakenaam, Leguan and the Pomeroon, which incidentally is the constituency of Mr. Bacchus, overwhelmingly supported the petition which amounted to over 700 petitioners. It is evident, therefore, that supporters of the petition came from six out of the eight area committees of the ECB. Is Mr. Bacchus implying that because he did not sign as Chairman of the Pomeroon Cricket Committee or Mr. Christiani as Chairman of the Central Cricket Committee meant that there was no support from those areas? This is only a fabrication of his deceitful attempt since the two committees are detrimentally one-man organisations without a proper financial balance sheet since they account to no one. The Committees have not held statutory meetings for several years. I was personally involved in securing magnanimous support for the petition since the present scenario at the GCB is bereft of transparency, legitimacy and inclusivity of the majority of stakeholders of cricket in Guyana. I took time-off to traverse from Charity to Supenaam highlighting the petition to various stakeholders of cricket and they were all in unanimous support especially the cricketers from Charity, Cotton Field, Affiance, Queenstown and the Pomeroon, areas that have not played competitive cricket or had formal meetings for almost a year because of the poor leadership and virtually the non-appearance of neither Mr. Christiani nor Mr. Bacchus to those areas, while they continue to serve as Secretary and President of the ECB, respectively. Mr. Christiani is also the Administrator of the ECB but never occupied the office situated at the Hostel, yet he receives a monthly salary. I wonder who approves his salary and for what performance? In fact, the Essequibo Cricket Board suffers the same fate and continues to erode the confidence of the cricketers because of a non- existent selection policy inclusive of incompetent selectors, who never played for the county or committee, lack of sponsors for major tournaments, a depressed cricketing environment, no coaching seminars for the youths and the gradual destruction of the cricket Hostel that is now being frequently used to host other activities without a cent being spent for its rehabilitation.

These are the issues that Mr. Bacchus should have taken time-off to address instead of ascertaining who would have supported the petition. In any case he was misled by his very constituent members because of their inactivity which would have led to their ignorance of the petition. Mr. Bacchus must also declare his involvement as a Director following the secrecy of the creation of the little known DEB ESSENTIALS INCOPORATED, a company hastily set up by individuals purported to represent the three counties, hence the acronym DEB. Mr. Bacchus was never authorised to hold shares in his personal name on behalf of the ECB, now claiming to be his private assets that he accused the Government of attempting to revoke.

How can he possibly own the assets of the ECB? This company needs to be thoroughly investigated since it is acting on behalf of the GCB, which constitutionally does not exist without the constituent Demerara and Berbice Cricket Boards. Returning the assets to the legal GCB must take place in the wake of the hijacking of the Board.

I am therefore challenging Mr. Bacchus, to prove that supporters from the six area committees including Pomeroon, did not sign the petition, while on the other hand, for him to state when last did he visit his constituent or held a cricket development meeting. In fact, I was approached by a prominent Umpire who claimed that he was not paid by the Pomeroon Cricket Committee since 2010 for a final that he officiated in the Pomeroon, while the ECB still owes several umpires since 2011. This is the inept state in which cricket has been administered in Essequibo and Mr. Bacchus should be the last person to speak on-behalf of Essequibians since he is out of touch with reality, while the cricketing fraternity has lost confidence in his(non) ability and integrity to lead the Essequibo Cricket Board(ECB). Instead, Mr. Bacchus and the ECB should all apologise for misleading and misrepresenting the cricketing public of Essequibo.

PRINCE HOLDER Chairman-NECC

News, the facts provided by the Ministry, Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), the private sector, miners, Muri Brazil Ventures Inc. and other stakeholders involved decimated the sinister plan to implicate the minister and the GGMC of any wrong doing or secret deal with the mining company as it was implied.

Despite the revelations that exposed APNU and Stabroek News, there have been no apologies or retractions for the disrepute and aspersions brought upon the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, the GGMC and the mining sector as a whole.

This is a flagrant disregard for basic journalistic and professional ethics, on part, by the Stabroek News and APNU’s Joseph Harmon,

respectively. The recent episodes of sensational and scandalous writing and comments occur too often without any validation and as such those culpable should be sanctioned by the relevant authorities, legal or otherwise the same trend is bound to continue.

Stabroek News and APNU have been exposed for their unwarranted attacks on miners; the sector has taken note of these continuous attacks over the past few weeks and the facts and clarifications which adequately dispel the misinformation.

Weren’t they put on some kind of Pension Plan with GT&T? I write concerning the issue of the ‘Telecoms Pensioners’.

Superannuation benefits of former employees of Guyana Telecommunications Corporation (GTC) were governed by the prescriptions of the Pensions Act, Chapter 27:02, applicable to Public Servants.

In 1990, the Government of Guyana and Atlantic Tele-Network (ATN) signed an Agreement in which ATN acquired eighty percent of the Telephone Corporation and the Government retained twenty.

When this Agreement was consummated, the new Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company Limited (GT&T) replaced the Guyana Telecommunication Corporation, and employees of GTC were transferred to GT&T with effect from 1991. Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company Limited became a Private Company from 1991 and the Pensions Act ceased to apply forthwith.

Those employees who were transferred to GT&T have services both with GTC, a Public Corporation, and GT&T, a Private Company. The Pensions Act does not recognise service with a Private Company. As such, the two types of services are not continuous.

Those employees who attained the retirement age after 1991 are being compensated for their period of service up to 1991 under the Pensions Act, Chapter 27:02. Because of the computed Pensions of all those retirees being very small, (less than the minimum Pension payable), on account of the minimal years of service rendered up to 1991 and the low salaries earned at 1991, they all have been upgraded to the minimum Pension payable, i.e., half of the minimum wage. Thus, all are in receipt of the same Pensions. Their Pensions have been correctly computed under the Pensions Act.

Help & Shelter extends condolences to Assistant Commissioner Josiah’s family HELP & SHELTER would like to offer sincere condolences to the family of the late Assistant Commissioner Deryck Josiah and the members of the Guyana Police Force.

Guyana has lost one of its best and most capable advocates in the fight against the scourge of domestic violence, which continues to plague our country. Mr. Josiah could have always been called on by Help & Shelter and many other organisations to render professional assistance to survivors and victims of domestic violence in keeping with the Guyana Police Force domestic violence policy and guidelines, and will always be remembered as a champion in the fight against domestic violence in Guyana.

When Help & Shelter was identifying persons to be interviewed for our documentary on domestic violence we knew that there was no one more capable than Assistant Commissioner Josiah to outline the role of the Guyana Police Force on domestic violence, and with the permission of the then commissioner, he willingly agreed to do the interview and gave an articulate, thoughtful and honest commentary on the role of the Guyana Police Force in addressing domestic violence.

Even though he is no longer physically with us, the late Mr. Josiah’s interview has been captured for all to see whenever our ‘Break the Silence, Stop the Violence’ is shown.

DANUTA RADZIK DENISE DIAS PATRICIA GRAY PAMELA NAUTH JOSEPHINE WHITEHEAD For Help & Shelter

There could not have been any ‘clause’ or ‘agreement’ in the letters of transfer or otherwise to the effect that ‘their services would be continuous and unbroken’ since no provision exists for such under the Pensions Regulations.

In my over thirty years examining Superannuation Claims, I have seen much recklessness committed by organistions as well as employees. In their younger days, people jump from job to job, organisation to organisation, through transfers, appointment, contracted service, secondment, resignation, etc. Such indiscretions return to haunt many at the time of retirement.

Many persons in the Public Service are not au fait with the rules and regulations governing their employment. In this case, I do not think that the employees in question are to be blamed. They were misled. But they should be paid for their post 1991 service, by someone. Weren’t they put on some kind of Pension Plan with GT&T? If not, this is a fatal error and their representative should be held responsible.

House defers second reading of Procurement (Amendment) bill

By Vanessa Narine

MEMBERS of Parliament last night, deferred the second reading of the Procurement (Amendment) Bill to a date within the next six months, following a motion moved by Government Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira – a motion moved after six hours of debate.

The Bill is an act to amend the 2003 principal Procurement Act by making changes to section 54 by deleting subsection six.

Section 54 deals with Cabinet’s involvement in reviewing the award of procurement contracts and the phasing out of its functions with the establishment of a Public Procurement Commission (PPC), in the interest of decentralising the procurement process.

Subsection six states that: “Cabinet’s involvement shall cease upon the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission except in relation to those matters referred to in subsection one which are pending.”

Teixeira’s motion for a deferral was an amendment to an initial motion moved by Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh for the House to vote to have the Bill read a second time.

She told the media that the amended motion was intended to give Opposition MPs an opportunity to consider the options at hand.

CALL FOR NEGOTIATIONS The debate on the Bill was largely a contentious one – a fact A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) front-bencher, Carl Greenidge, concurred with.

In stating his support for the deferral, he stated that the Opposition MPs have studied the bill and the views held are strong ones – arguments that were grounded in the basis that the PPC’s establishment negates the need for Cabinet’s role.

He called for amendments to be made to the Procurement (Amendment Bill), changes that should be the result of negotiations going forward.

The Speaker, Raphael Trotman, hailed the recommendations for amendment to the Bill and call for the deferral’s non-influence on the PPC as “reasonable” calls.

The AFC MP also noted that further amendments ought to be the subject of joint deliberations Considering the calls for amendments to the Procurement (Amendment) Bill, the Finance Minister in his contribution to garner support for its passage, pointed out to the House that the Government’s position, grounded in legislative principles, was not “disputed, disagreed with, debunked or disproven” by the joint-Opposition.

He stressed that the crux of the Government’s argument is the fact that the Cabinet is “clothed” with the responsibility

to be accountable to the National Assembly for public spending and to be held accountable the Cabinet must have a role in the procurement process.

Singh stated that the main arguments proffered extend from this principle, that the Bill, in maintaining Cabinet’s role in the process, makes no case for increased involvement, and does

thirds majority support in the Parliament to appoint members, there can be a case when, with the passage of time, the House does not reach a consensus and the PPC is not constituted.

“Where does the nation find itself,” he questioned?

According to him, without any authority vested in the Cabinet, that body will not be

AG Anil Nandlall

Minister Irfaan Ali

not diminish the functions of the PPC, as was argued, as well as the fact that similar jurisdictions have similar, in many cases greater powers vested in their Cabinets.

The minister called for the House to consider the scenario where the Cabinet is without its ‘no-objection’ role in the procurement process.

He explained that given that that the PPC requires a two-

responsible and the nation will be in a “worse” situation than it is in today.

He argued that the PPC cannot substitute the Cabinet, particularly considering that, according to the Constitution, it is to be an oversight body.

The minister underscored the fact that the PPC’s involvement in the procurement process is outlined in the Constitution

as that of an oversight body and any further involvement will present a conflict of interest, as it cannot be expected to provide oversight for itself.

Singh stressed that the preservation of Cabinet’s ‘no-objection’, the status quo, which is sought through the legislative amendment, does not and will not in any way “reduce, diminish or restrict the functions” of the PPC. “These remain constitutionally protected, enshrined in the comfort of the supreme law and remain intact…the Bill does no harm to these functions… the PPC will function and will discharge its mandates,” he said.

Government MP, Manzoor Nadir, echoed similar sentiments and noted that considerations have to be given to the fact that the PPC will need time to “get up and going.”

“The PPC will have a completely different role than that of the Executive,” he said.

The Finance Minister observed that it is a “sad day” when the arguments presented in the House of Assembly are not grounded in “conviction and principles, but arguments of political convenience.”

“Much has been disclosed, not only as it relates to procurement, but as it relates to the manner in which MPs chose and craft their arguments. I would say it is most unfortunate, the abandonment of principle in favour of political opportunity,” Singh said.

Minister Irfaan Ali, in adding his support to the Bill, made it clear that “blow hot or cold”, Cabinet has a “fiduciary responsibility” as given to the Government by the electorate.

Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, in arguing for the passage of the Procurement (Amendment) Bill, pointed out that the arguments being advanced by the Opposition largely reflect misinformation.

He maintained that the procurement process and procedures stand as the most “accountable and fair” in the entire English speaking Caribbean.

Nandlall argued that the misinformation that suggests Cabinet has more than a no-objection role is an indictment on public servants who work in the procurement area.

“The procurement structure stands out as one of the most elaborate and all of this is ignored because all we hearing that is puppet show….it is an indictment on public servants,” he said.

He added that it is clear that the 46-page Procurement Act and accompanying regulations have not been read and are not understood by the Opposition.

“We have, prepared by tender board, a preponderance of documents that explain the Procurement Act… all these are to inform on how public procurement is done in Guyana,” Nandlall said.

Bandits nab $7.8M Public Works Ministry payroll

By Leroy Smith ARMED bandits yesterday entered the finance office of the Ministry of Public Works and robbed two payroll clerks of close to eight million dollars, which represented the payroll for the ministry’s field workers.

This publication was informed that the two male bandits stood for almost half an hour at the guard hut inside the ministry’s compound, awaiting the return of the payroll clerks and their armed escort. They reportedly told the female security guard occupying the hut that they were workers from an interior location. The guard was reportedly not alarmed at the presence of the men, since they were outfitted as workers from the ministry, with safety vests and hats.

However, when the vehicle with the payroll returned to the ministry, the two bandits pounced on the payroll clerks, gun-butting

the female guard on the head, disarming the escort who had accompanied the payroll, and seizing the briefcase with the payroll.

As the bandits beat a hasty retreat from the premises, the briefcase with the payroll fell and approximately two hundred thousand dollars came out and was retrieved by Ministry personnel.

Public Works Minister Robeson Benn told the Guyana Chronicle yesterday afternoon that he received a call just after noon informing him of the development. He said that, among other things, he was told that the men, after robbing the ministry, fled the area on CG motorcycles.

Asked if the fact that the men were dressed as ministry employees had raised the concern of revisiting the dress code and means of positively identifying ministry workers, Minister Benn responded in the negative. He, however, pointed out that the ministry would be revisiting its security arrangements, including those for its staff.

He admitted that the ministry does not have security cameras, and that the ministry would have to rely on the security cameras from nearby businesses and other buildings to see if any useful footage could be delivered to the police.

Minister Benn pointed out that the ministry would be working very hard to ensure that the workers who were affected by the robbery are paid in a timely manner, and in time for the Christmas season.

He said the Finance Minister had already been informed of the development, and the matter would have to be investigated.

Meanwhile, a letter detailing the events and theft of the money was being drafted by the Permanent Secretary of the Public Works Ministry for delivery to the Minister of Finance.

The police have been called in, and investigations are ongoing.

London’s Apollo Theatre’s ceiling collapses during show

(BBC News) MORE than 80 people have been injured, four seriously, after part of a ceiling in London’s Apollo Theatre collapsed during a show, police say.

The venue in Shaftesbury Avenue was packed for a performance of The Curious Incident Of The Dog in the Night-Time.

Eyewitnesses heard “a crackling” noise before the collapse at about 20:15 GMT. Theatre-goers left covered in debris.

London Ambulance said there were 81 walking wounded and that all those who were trapped earlier had been freed.

Some 25 ambulance crews and an air ambulance attended the scene, it said.

London Fire Brigade said four people were seriously injured but none have life-threatening injuries.

It said its “search is now complete” and the theatre has been sealed off.

Eight fire engines and more than 50 firefighters attended the incident in London’s busy West End theatre district, along with hundreds of police officers.

The Apollo’s ornate plasterwork ceiling collapsed and brought part of the lighting rig down, it said.

In a media briefing the fire brigade said its officers inspected the theatre’s roof via an aerial ladder platform that had been raised above the building It said it did not believe scaffolding on adjacent building had anything to do with the incident.

Nick Harding from Kingsland Fire Station said: “A section of the theatre’s ceiling collapsed onto the audience who were watching the show.

The ceiling took parts of the balconies down with it.

“Firefighters worked really hard in very difficult conditions... They rescued people from the theatre, made the area safe and then helped ambulance crews with the injured.

“Specialist urban search and rescue crews were also called to the scene to make sure no one was trapped.”

He added: “In my time as a fire officer I’ve never seen an incident like this.”

Firefighters said the theatre had been almost full and 720 people were watching the performance.

The Met Police said more than 40 walking wounded were treated at the nearby Gielgud Theatre, while three London buses were used to transport others to hospitals.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust said 34 adults and five children were being treated at the accident and emergency department at St Thomas’ Hospital.

The majority had cuts and bruises, and a small number had fractures. The three most serious cases had injuries to the neck and back, or head.

The trust said at this stage there were no life-threatening injuries.

In a statement it said: “We have had a fantastic response from staff - both already on-site and those who came in from home - to help.”

Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: “I’ve been updated regularly on the Apollo incident. I’m grateful for the fast work of the emergency services in helping the injured.”

A spokesman for London Mayor Boris Johnson said: “He has spoken to the Met Police Commissioner and is liaising with the relevant agencies. His

thoughts and prayers are with those involved in what is clearly a very serious incident.”

Witnesses earlier said they had seen people leaving the building, covered in dust and plaster - with some people bleeding and crying.

‘Strange crackling noise’ Amy Lecoz, who was at the theatre with her two children, aged 16 and 19, said: “The entire dome roof fell down on the audience just in front of us. We were protected by the balcony above and we ran. People started screaming.

“We thought it was water...

We thought it was a part of the show. I grabbed my kids and ran.”

Another witness said she heard a “strange crackling noise” before “the roof just crumpled”.

Emergency services reached the scene within minutes

Police commandeered three London buses to take the injured to hospital

Murder accused Herbert Pilgrim to serve 24 years in jail - for 2011 manslaughter of girlfriend in Norton St, W/ville

By George Barclay JUSTICE Diana Insanally has imposed a 24-year prison term on Herbert Pilgrim after he pleaded guilty to the charge of manslaughter committed on his girlfriend, Nathalie Loncke, on February 12th, 2011.

Justice Insanally noted from the remarks of Prosecutrix Miss Dhanika Singh that, on the day in question, Pilrim had gone to Loncke’s home with the intention of killing the woman or of making

trouble.

The judge could not find anything from which provocation could flow.

In narrating the facts of the case, the Prosecutrix said that when Pilgrim entered Loncke’s home he found that she was preparing to go out, so he asked her where she was going. She did not reply, and this caused trouble, resulting in Loncke telling Pilgrim, “I already told you: when you drink, don’t come here!”

Pilgrim continued attacking Loncke with a knife with which he

was armed, and Loncke subsequently died from knife-inflicted wounds.

Defence counsel, Mr. Huckumchand, in a plea in mitigation, pointed out that the accused was remorseful for what had happened, and begged for leniency; but the judge, who started the sentence with 30 years, deducted six of those for Pilgrim not wasting the court’s time, the time he had already spent in custody, and the plea in mitigation by his counsel; leaving 24 years, the period of incarceration for which Pilgrim was sentenced.

He took the sentence calmly.

Cabinet approves reconstruction of school after arson destruction CABINET has approved the reconstruction of the L’Aventure Secondary School located at L’Heureuse Adventure, Canal Number One, West Bank Demerara, which was destroyed in an arson fire a few months ago.

Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon made the announcement last Wednesday, at his weekly post-Cabinet media briefing at Office of the President, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown.

More than $25M has been approved for rebuilding of classrooms and the administrative section of the school, he informed.

The blaze had displaced about 700 students but its annexe, which accommodates the Grade Seven children, numbering 134,

was not affected.

The flames had started in the Administrative Block that accommodated several classes.

Meanwhile, less than six months ago, another fire, of unknown origin, broke out in the midst of the National Grade Six Assessment examination at the Parfaite Harmonie Primary School, also on West Bank Demerara.

About 80 pupils were taking the test when one of them saw smoke and alerted the invigilators who, immediately, sent them out of the building.

Those candidates were, subsequently, able to complete their examinations.

Through solid waste project…

Some Region 4 NDCs to get compactor trucks

By Clifford Stanley NEIGHBOURHOOD Democratic Councils (NDCs) in Region 4 (Demerara/Mahaica), whose geographic locations were recent beneficiaries of rubbish bins provided by the Georgetown Solid Waste Management Project (GSWMP), will get further assistance from it in the form of four compactor trucks, valued at a total of $126M, specially designed for the transportation of solid waste.

Two of these trucks, a large and a small, will provide transport services for NDCs between Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara and Georgetown, and two more, also of the same description, will serve NDCs between Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara and Georgetown.

Head of the GSWMP, Mr. Gordon Gilkes, disclosed recently that the two large trucks, called ‘Rear End Loaders’, have been acquired at a cost of $46M each and are already in the country.

The two smaller vehicles of a similar type and valued at approximately $18M each have been purchased and are expected in the country soon, he said.

The trucks are to be deployed early next year and the issue of cost recovery for these operations is currently being mulled, Gilkes said.

BEING MANAGED The GSWMP is being managed by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development with funds secured from an Inter-American Development (IDB) loan to the Government of Guyana.

The Haags Bosch Landfill at Eccles, East Bank Demerara, is another component of the GSWMP. So, too, is the rehabilitation, expansion and closure of the Le Repentir landfill, a work still in progress, Gilkes said.

Some 450 rubbish bins have been deployed within the NDCs in Region 4 as part of the project.

Bureau of Statistics launches web portal … to provide human resource data for nation-building

THE Bureau of Statistics has implemented a new web-based information portal called Guyana’s Development Information Database (GuyD_Info) that provides users the opportunity to share and access human development national statistics.

The information database, developed with support from the United Nations Group of Organisations in Guyana, provides updated statistical data that play a key role in informing the planning of policies and programmes for the country.

It was Wednesday demonstrated at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC) Liliendaal, in the presence of Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, Resident Coordinator United Nations Development Programme, Khadija Musa, and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Representative, Marianne Flach.

Minister Singh noted the importance of having hard evidence to inform discourse, decision-making and management within every sphere of activities in the country, and more so in today’s world where resources are finite.

Clarifying his statement, he pointed to the target set by government to realise widespread secondary education. “We have set ourselves the target of achieving universal secondary education, and we do so, not against the background of limitless resources, so that we can build schools everywhere…we do so against the background of finite resources and making an informed decision about how best, and the most efficient and effective (way) to achieve universal secondary education,” he noted.

The minister said that government, in recognition of the importance of having hard data, devoted considerable effort to building and developing the country’s statistic capacity as part of a larger programme that includes establishing and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems, and raising effectiveness in

government.

Government has been updating many of its statistical data bases and building capacity at the Bureau of Statistics, but this is not the end, as Minister Singh pointed out.

“We are working hard to build similar suitable statistical capability in the sector ministries…we are collaborating closely with our private sector partners to provide data reporting, to ensure better compliance with the Statistic Act and more timely submission of data, all with the aim of ensuring that we achieve this objective of better informed decision making,” he said.

He said therefore that the importance of the GuyD_Info database “cannot possible be over-emphasised,” as it serves an extremely useful purpose.

Government has already devoted considerable effort into cap- Minister Dr Ashni Singh turing and making available data through websites of the different ministries and agencies.

GuyD_Info is Guyana’s adaptation of the Dev_Info programme, a tool developed under the auspices of the UN and endorsed by the United Nations Development Group, for countries to compile their human development with the specific purpose of monitoring their performances as it relates to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Dev_Info itself was originally adapted

11 from UNICEF’s ChildInfo database technology.

UN Representative Musa noted that the GuyD_Info database will be a strong tool for the UN in Guyana, in helping to address the disparities, and to target the most vulnerable sections of society.

She said the UN could use the database to monitor national data, disaggregated by sex, location, age, education and other factors related to groups at risk.

“We are pleased with the partnership with the Ministry of Finance and the Bureau of Statistics in launching the GuyD_Info data base, through which we can inform our future plans for sustainable development including poverty reduction strategies, health and nutrition, and continue to contribute effectively to national development strategies and priorities,” she said.

She warned that for the programme to be effective, every effort must be made to ensure that the data accessible is regularly updated.

The Bureau’s Chief Statistician, Lennox Benjamin, said that the launch continues what has been the Bureau’s most recent history of instances of collaboration and cooperation with the United Nations Group of Organisations in Guyana.

He said too that the launch was symbolic of the rapid strides made by the Bureau in the last 25 years, “to tap into and take advantage of the rapid global strides that have been made in the field of information technology” and the latest technologies pioneered by the United Nations system for more rapid efficient measurement and dissemination of national statistics.

The Bureau’s first tentative step in building its institutional capacity as it relates to the world of information technology was in 1988, when with the support of the United Nations Group of Organisations, the first computer was installed at the agency.

GuyD_Info allows for quick data search; it has visualisation tools that make it easier to explore data, a gallery that provides for users to save their visualised output for future use, which also allows for sharing with others via social media, e-mail and webpage embedding.

The Bureau will in time seek to link the database system with those of other sectors and other private sector companies, to build a net of users and to advocate and eventually install a GuyD_Info help desk.

Thus far, globally, 125 countries have adopted the Dev_Info programme. (GINA)

GPF reform, modernisation to yield long term results - Crime Chief THE project to reform and modernise the Guyana Police Force (GPF) now underway has, indeed, impacted its operations.

And while it may not be seen now, the results will be delivered to members of the public in the long term, according to Deputy Commissioner (Law Enforcement) Seelall Persaud.

He said it is not likely that the results will be seen in the shorter term but the long term is inevitable, since the reform process is taking place incrementally and its implementation needs to be taken very seriously and in stages.

The Crime Chief added that there is a certain part of the procedure to be completed before the public begins to really see the benefits of the reformation.

Persaud made the observations while addressing other senior ranks and awardees at the annual GPF end of year awards ceremony.

Pointing to some of the areas of change which are already in motion, he mentioned an integrated crime information system which is in place.

Persaud told the gathering that the method is an electronic type that links all the stations countrywide. However, at the present stage, only the stations along the coastland are connected while works are still being done to ensure that those in ‘G’ Division are logged onto the network.

There has been some amount of linkage to the stations in Bartica as well as Region 10 and, very soon, all the stations

countrywide will be integrated, he assured.

MASTER COLLECTION Persaud said, once entered into the master collective, the data will be available to all the police stations. The network would deal, primarily, with reports on crime.

There will also be a means to test the response of police officers to the reports that they receive through the network and the Deputy Commissioner noted that it would serve, as well, to enhance the development of the force and its ranks and see commanders assessing the performance of the ranks under their command.

Meanwhile, one of the challenges facing the GPF is its staffing.

Deputy Commissioner (Law Enforcement) Seelall Persaud Persaud disclosed that, presently, there are 285 new members while there has been a depletion of ranks by 194.

He said the GPF losses are, usually, well-trained and experienced ones.

Booty recovered from $6.5M burglary but defendant remanded

SUNIL Somra, 21, of Lot 69 Robb Street, Bourda, Georgetown, was remanded to prison, by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday, on a break and enter charge.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which alleged that, on Tuesday, November 26, in Georgetown, too, broke and entered the business place of Dexter John and stole $55,000 cash, gold jewellery and raw gold, all together valued $6,555,000.

Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, told the court that the virtual complainant is a goldsmith, who operates a business in the bottom flat of a two-storey building.

The prosecutor said, that day, John secured his workshop and went out but returned, around 20:30 hrs, to discover the place ransacked and the mentioned articles missing.

However, some of them were recovered.

Attorney-at-law Mr. Keavon Bess, for Somra, in his bail application stated that the defendant has no antecedents but the prosecutor, successfully, objected to the grant, citing the seriousness and prevalence of the crime.

The case was postponed to January 13, 2014.

Construction worker killed with shotgun owned by CPG chairman

By Michel Outridge A CONSTRUCTION worker who was on his way to file a report with the police was confronted by three men and shot and killed following a dispute with his mother after which a neighbour intervened and dealt him a blow to the

her son returned home from work.

He began quarrelling with her after he realised the remote control for the DVD player was broken, then their next door neighbour joined in the row.

The mother stated that the man, who runs a rum shop, started to quarrel with them

GODFREY JAGGROO stomach with a piece of wood on Wednesday night.

The man was reportedly shot and killed with the licensed firearm owned by the Chairman of the Community Policing Group (CPG) of the area.

The shooter, along with the neighbour and the CPG Chairman, was taken into police custody pending the probe.

Police reported that Godfrey Jhaggroo, 20, of Bellevue, West Bank Demerara, was killed at about 19:00hrs on December 18, 2013, at Bellevue.

Initial investigations revealed that Godfrey Jaggroo was involved in an argument with his mother during which a man, who resides next door and operates an off-licence liquor store, intervened and assaulted him with a piece of wood.

It is reported that Godfrey Jhaggroo was on his way to the Wales Police Station to make a report when he was confronted by three men, one of whom is a licenced firearm holder, and who were at the off-licence liquor store. He was shot in the back with a shotgun. Jaggroo was pronounced dead on arrival at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.

Meanwhile, the man’s mother, Babita Jhaggroo, 40, of lot 31 Bellevue, said that she was at home at about 18:30hrs on Wednesday afternoon when

She noted that a heated argument ensued since her son told the man that it was a private matter between him and mother and he should mind his own business.

This, the woman added, annoyed the shop owner, who armed himself with a piece of wood and dealt her son a lash to his stomach after which the wood bounced off the road and hit the man’s daughter.

She pointed out that her son

was beaten in front of her yard by the gate and her son clutched his stomach and collapsed to the ground. He recovered and was making his way to the police station when he was shot and killed.

It was until Thursday the mother got a glimpse of the body, which bore a huge gunshot wound to the back of the head and his stomach also had a wound.

Godfrey Jhaggroo was shot and killed by a shotgun from close range after three shots were discharged, eyewitnesses said.

A post-mortem is expected to be performed today.

The National Community Policing Executive, in a press statement yesterday, said that they have launched an investigation into the murder.

It stated that CPG members, particularly rural constables, are all made fully aware of the Standard Operational Procedures in Community Policing and where their responsibilities and operational boundaries lie, always acting and reacting within the permitting confines of the law.

The document noted that they should not act against the law, especially to always exercise the use of peaceful control approaches, and never to engage negative excessive measures that are beyond the Standard Operational Procedures.

The statement said the N.C.P.E. offers and conveys sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Godfrey Jaggroo.

It’s probably due to a huge surge in your creativity -- you’re itching for a way to express yourself, and spending your day doing nothing but research or work is not going to make for a happy day. If you can, make time today to just have fun. Pick up a silly magazine and find out what’s going on with celebrity couples. You are a well-rounded person who needs different kinds of stimulation.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

You are faced with a tough climb up a tall mountain, but you will love the view once you get to the top! You cannot let this challenge intimidate you and force you to go in another direction. This is something you have been waiting for, so grab your chance in the spotlight and go for it. It is time you sought out the attention of others more actively -- you deserve to be the star, and you know it. Take this climb one step at a time, and be sure to pace yourself.

Cuba loosens restrictions on buying foreign-made cars (BBC News) Cuba is loosening restrictions on people buying foreign-made new and used cars, according to state media.

Cubans will no longer need government permits to buy modern cars from state

sellers.

Until new regulations in 2011, people could only sell cars built before the 1959 revolution.

Private property has been severely restricted on the Communist-run island since 1959. The changes are part of a shake-up of Cuba’s struggling economy.

Yeah, I can buy it, but with

what?”

Jorge Canso Havana resident ‘Freed up’ Following reforms adopted two years ago, Cubans can buy and sell used cars from each other, but must request authorisation from the government to purchase a new vehicle or a second-hand one from state-controlled retailers.

Priority for the permits was given to people “in positions of benefit to the government”, such as doctors and diplomats.

But the Communist Party newspaper, Granma, said the Council of Ministers approved new regulations on Wednesday that “eliminate existing mechanisms of approval for the purchase of motor vehicles from the state”.

As a result, the paper said, “the retail sale of new and used motorcycles, cars, vans, small trucks and mini buses for Cubans and foreign residents, companies and diplomats is freed up”.

People who already have permits are expected to be given priority, however. And buyers will still need to purchase vehicles through state retailers.

Cubans and foreigners will not be able to import their own cars.

Your urge to get closer to someone may be becoming so strong that it’s unbearable, but before you make any moves, you need to stop. Pay closer attention to the clues they are sending -- they might not be quite ready to open up to you just yet. To test the waters, keep your conversation light. Resist your urge to ask them to spend the rest of their life with you! Baby steps will get you closer to their heart than giant leaps. So take some time apart and make them miss you.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

Is your career your top focus right now? It should be. Right now, you are in a phase of rich clarity -- you have the ability to fully understand the opportunities in front of you in a way you never could before. But first, you have to slow down and look around. Take a moment to make some loose plans for your future -- and make them big! Give yourself a general idea of where you want things to go, and you’ll figure out how to get there later on.

Libra September 23 - October 22

If you are made a group leader today, your group is going to be very lucky! You’re smart as a whip and able to cut through the politics that inevitably happen whenever more than two people get together. No one is going to be able to distract you from what needs to get done. Plus, you are exceptionally charming and people are going to follow whatever decision you make to the letter. Popularity has never been terribly important to you, but that’s only because everyone always likes you.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

This could be the day when all of your hard work will finally pay off! If your boss has been a big problem for you lately, you can say goodbye to any tensions quite soon. There have been discussions going on among the big power players -- they’ve been about you, and they have been favourable. There will be a huge change in the dynamic coming soon, and someone’s ego could get a bit bruised. Don’t worry, it won’t be yours. You will come out of this transition doing quite well for yourself.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

If you think that you need to start making some changes, then do it. You can’t wait for other people to give you permission -- or even encouragement. This is your life to lead.

The kind of growth you experience and the types of changes you make are totally up to you. Following fads might make you feel like part of the crowd, but if it doesn’t make you feel better about yourself, what good it is? Ironically, it’s when you go off on your own that you feel the biggest crowds supporting you.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

Your vision is going to be clear as a bell today, so it’s a great day to finally come to a decision on that issue you’ve been wringing your hands over for so long. You need to make a choice, then stick to it! Look at those puzzling things one more time today, and the right way to go could be embarrassingly obvious. Your omnipotent vision might also reveal a few business problems you can get a jump on today, before they grow into bigger headaches tomorrow.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

If there’s a party going on and you’re not on the guest list, so what? This fact shouldn’t stop you from being a part of the good times. You have enough creativity and charm to be able to figure out a way to get on the list and in on the fun. The inner circle of the social set needs you to be there -- you offer the right energy. Do what you can to get involved, but stop short of putting yourself in a position to be taken advantage of. You are the coolest, and you need to remember that!

Pisces February 19 - March 20

The past few days may have been dragging along too slowly for you, and the slower pace is sure to continue today. Try not to get frustrated, though. Time might feel like it’s moving slowly, but rest assured: Things are still happening and you are still making headway on your goals! Patience is all you need to regain a more mellow, happy vibe. What you are waiting for will come -- you just need to relax and have faith in the people who are making it happen.

Public urged to report fare increases

By Vanessa Narine

THE continued arbitrary increase of fares by minibus drivers on Route 32 continues, much to the chagrin of commuters.

And Minister of Tourism Irfaan Ali told the Guyana Chronicle that an advisory on the matter has been issued and members of the public are urged to report increases to the police or directly to the ministry.

He stated that police officers will be asked to act to enforce the current and approved fare structure and prevent unfair demands by transport operators.

According to him, the fare increases are not sanctioned and are unjustified.

Commuters on the West Coast of Demerara have been complaining about the issue since last Wednesday.

According to complainants who spoke to the Guyana Chronicle, the fares have been upped by as much as $60.

The new increases are reflected in a new fare structure implemented by the United Minibus Association and the Combined Road

Transportation Association for Route 32.

Ali maintains that there is no way the Route 32 drivers can unilaterally decide to increase fares, adding that there have been no consultations with the Association on the matter.

The minister made it clear that the ministry has a standing agreement with the Minibus Association, which clearly states that in the absence of increases in gas prices, there cannot be an increase in fares.

Unilateral fare hikes by minibus operators have been an on and off cause of concern in the last three years, with some incidents resulting in strike actions that left hundreds of commuters stranded.

Earlier this year, Transport Minister Robeson Benn promised an investigation into the unregulated hike in minibus fares across the various routes at nights, whereby commuters are asked to pay double.

The best cops of the various divisions pose with Deputy Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud, with their cash and plaques in hand

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday December 20, 2013

A minute of silence is observed for the late Assistant Commissioner of Police, Derrick Josiah

Best Cop for 2013 Mitchell Caesar receives his award from Deputy Commissioner of Police Primo

Police ranks awarded for outstanding work

by Leroy Smith THE Guyana Police Force (GPF), on Thursday, awarded its outstanding officers and ‘Best Cop’ for the year, at its annual awards ceremony held at the Eve Leary, Drill Square, Georgetown.

The awards were for their performances in the area of proper investigations, drug busts, recovery of firearms and other illegal items and generally good police work throughout the year.

Criminal investigation rank Mitchell Caesar was given the coveted ‘Best Cop’ of 2013, together with $250,000 and a plaque.

He was also the recipient of the award of best CID rank for 2013, carting off another $150,000 and a plaque.

The ceremony also saw ranks from the various divisions being rewarded for their performances in their different districts.

Men appeared to have dominated the awards with only a few females being honoured for their showing in sports.

COLLABORATE CLOSELY The event also saw members of the community policing groups (CPGs) being considered for awards since they, too, aid in the fight against crime and collaborate closely with the GPF. An award was given, as well, to media worker and regular host of the GPF’s informative television programme ‘Law Enforcement and You’, Raymond Cummings.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Balram Persaud, who chaired the morning’s proceedings, pointed out that while ranks are often criticised, it has been determined that their job is one of the most difficult in society.

Deputy Commissioner (Law Enforcement) Seelall Persaud reminded that the Force began awarding its ranks for outstanding performances in 1990, with $824,000 being disbursed at the start.

This year, the total awarded was $13.9 M and saw awardees getting cash and trophies.

The awards were also made possible by members of the business community, with one offering $100,000 each to the surviving relatives of two policemen who were shot dead in the recent Middle Street, Georgetown shootout.

Attendees at the function observed a minute of silence for Assistant Commissioner of Police Derrick Josiah who passed away last week Friday at the Woodlands Hospital.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday December 20, 2013

Let’s tell it like it is…

Grievous wolves are destroying the ‘flock of God’ ––it was predicted to happen ‘in the last days’

I am always awfully appalled at the manner in which so many men folks are running around the place pretending to be ‘men of God’ while their worship of the Devil goes on in the dark…, or so they seem to think!

When they think that they can hide in the dark to do their dirty work and no one would see, the same Satan they secretly worship exposes them at the most inopportune of times, and throws back his head in the pits of hell and laughs them to scorn.

I know I am not living the life of a real Christian, but at least I know real Christianity when I see it. So all dem bogus pastors masquerading around de place really can’t fool me! Action speaks louder than words any day anyway.

And it appears like most ah de so-called pastahs operating from Durban Street, Georgetown (note that I did not specify which ward in G/t). Not so long ago, we exposed a very popular pastor who was trying to date every sister in the church, until his wife found out the whole story. He was also hooked on pornography, and that included the type that involved ‘sexual liaisons with the same sex’.

Well, de story did bruk out in de middle of a prayah meeting, and de sistah he de chasing aftah cuss out he wife ‘trigga loose’.

Shame! Shame!! Shame!!!

Now anadda pastah get skin up big time de odda day, and ah wondah wheah he deh now. He must be hiding undah some big brick somewhere in Georgetown.

If you see how dis pastah used to be dressing up in gold jewellery more dan dem big-time drug cartels; and he dressing style was just like any one ah dem young men in de world. He nevah used to stand out as being ‘different’, and you wouldah shocked to hear that dat man is a pastah.

Well, Satan surely forsake he de odda day, and now he suh shame

Why yuh hollering and drinking now? De damage already done! Yuh shoudda known bettah, pastah. he deh hiding about de place. Dis goodly pastah sell a cellular phone to a young man recently; but guess what, he thought he wiped de phone clean, but he was sadly mistaken. As de young man was checking de phone features, he came across tons of naked photos of dis pastah in various explicitly sexual positions wid several females

Shouldn’t you be home in your mother’s house washing dishes? What are you doing in the Pastor’s bedroom? in dat church and wid a few outsiders as well. Oh me mama whoy!

Dis man really terrible!!! People, dis man is supposed to be happily married!

There is even one photo where he is having oral sex with a young sister inside the church after the others had left the building. And we dared not mention what he was doing with one church sister whose face was partially hidden.

In viewing the pictures, I became sick to the stomach. I never imagined that ‘men of God’ would be indulging in such horrid acts of immorality. Brimstone and hell fire gon rain pon all ah dem!!!

Well, when the young man called the pastor to tell him about the photos, he hurriedly met the young man and gave him a substantial sum of money to keep his mouth shut. But the young man collected the pastor’s money and is still showing Tom, Dick and Harry the pastor’s lewd photos.

If yuh want tuh see de photos, yuh can call me and I would give yuh directions tuh de young man’s home. But just note dat yuh have to pay tuh see those photos, because de young man just find a way tuh mek a quick dallah.

Eh-eh, it look like dis pastah suddenly tun a big porn star. And de man seems tuh be a very seasoned star at dat!

Someone needs to rid our land of these ‘bogus pastors’, who are robbing poor people and continuing to live undercover lives that are more horrid than those of the men in the world. Shame! Shame!! Shame on them!!!

Pastor, I urge you to fall on your face in genuine repentance of your life of horrible double-standards. But from what I have been told, that might hardly be the course of action you would take…

Miss Bootilicious 2014 looming ahead I am quite sure you guys would remember all the excitement and, of course, the degree of controversy that was generated last year when Suckerpunch Promotions hosted the third leg of the hilarious Miss Bootilicious Reloaded Lingerie Pageant for very curvy women.

Patrons from far and wide flocked the venues to soak up the scandalous routines and very provocative presentations as the very curvaceous, very sexy and very creative contestants demonstrated on stage who was best at entertaining their mates in suggestive (but not vulgar) ways, to keep them from the clutches of ‘wanton vultures’.

Last year, the ladies took to the stage in some of the sheerest and most revealing lingerie, and in most cases they smothered their male counterparts with the smouldering intensity of their showcases. Patrons saw an alluring flurry of sexy school teachers transforming themselves into raging sirens, nurses by day and erotic dancers by night; not to mention coy and seemingly harmless librarians and cooks transforming themselves into some of the most captivating divas of the night.

Last year the choreography was electric, and the air was pregnant with sensual chemistry. Now folks have been clamouring for a repeat, and they are indeed so lucky. Promoters have already begun preparing for Miss Bootilicious Reloaded 2014, and come next year, the pageant will feature ten “boombastic contestants” and their equally mesmerizing male models.

Promoters are urging interested persons to contact them on phone numbers 604-3518 for more information and guidance. Promoters wish to remind that this pageant is more associated with the curvy ladies who are ready to affirm that one can be ‘big yet bold and sexy’.

Meanwhile, we showcase some of the ‘electric ladies’ from the very first Miss Bootilicious Lingerie Pageant.

Karaoke DJs’ Year-end Roundup…

DJ ‘CJ’ is Bombshell’s ‘Karaoke DJ of the Year’ THIS year we took time out to visit several nightclubs that featured karaoke on their entertainment platter, and we received quite a few surprises, much of which was unpleasant.

You see, readers, our first survey of the ‘karaoke happenings’ was in response to complaints that DJs were being biased and were overtly compromising themselves, resulting in karaoke lovers being greatly disappointed and dissat-

isfied.

This year, we took three long months to scrutinise the hotspots again, and lo and behold, we found out that not much has changed since, save for only three karaoke DJs who were obliviously doing all they could to ensure their supporters were happy and satisfied!

At many places of entertainment, we observed karaoke DJs allowing to sing repeatedly those patrons who had passed them ‘a

Bombshell salutes DJ CJ, our choice of ‘Karaoke DJ of the Year’

lil raise under the table’; those who had bought them beverages; and those with whom they were very closely associated.

In many cases, high-spending customers fell asleep waiting to sing a song, while those who were sipping one beer for the entire night were allowed to sing as they pleased.

There were only three DJs who were found to be quite okay in their dealings, and these were DJ Joe, DJ Wade, and DJ CJ. By far, DJ CJ was the best of the lot, ensuring that his customers were comfortable, and that everyone rightfully got their turn to sing, according to the list he had prepared as they made their entries. His relationship with customers was warm and jovial, and he greeted everyone, going to great lengths to ensure everyone was satisfied.

Naturally, we dubbed him the ‘Karaoke DJ of 2013’.

In the runner-up spot was DJ Joe, who has a very excellent sound system and some of the best microphones around town. This, of course, gave extra comfort to singers, and this DJ was certainly good at setting his microphones and amplifiers.

That aside, he followed a well prepared list of singers; and try as they might, no one could bribe him with goodies to get the upper hand at his karaoke sessions.

In third position was DJ Wade, who is known for his bubbly demeanour, which works well with his followers. He is very polite and pleasant, and does all he can to ensure his fans

are satisfied.

He certainly has an attitude of integrity (he accepts no bribes), so ‘sleazies’ are afraid to approach him with ‘suggestions’ of bribery. Even though he sometimes gets carried away and may try to sing too much, none can take from the fact that he is rated amongst the very few ‘real karaoke DJs’ we have remaining around town.

Bombshell congratulates these three talented and considerate karaoke DJs, and urges them to continue their efforts at maintaining ultimate customer satisfaction.

As for the others, we say, “Get your act together, man; or get out of the karaoke game”.

Keep up the good work, DJ Wade; your fans will continue to love you.

Palm Court launches exciting Christmas festivities THE Palm Court Nightclub has planned a series of exciting Christmas events with its faithful, longstanding customers in mind.

And according to the Manager, Catherin Gonsalves, they are kicking off things this weekend with the Pulse Party, called ‘Naughty or Nice’, before moving to their traditional ‘Jingle Bell Ball’ on December 24, 2013 (Christmas Ever Day) Come New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2013) Palm Court would again excite its fans with its ‘New Year’s Eve Masquerade Ball’. VIP accommodation to this event will cost $25,000, with the inclusion of snacks and dinner. That apart, patrons can also enjoy, for $5,000, regular deals that include breakfast.

Then there is the exciting ‘ball drop moment’ that will showcase local singer Megan Vieira popping out of a large shiny ball to perform ‘Auld Lang Syne’ for patrons.

What a perfect manner in which to welcome the New Year.

Hinds and Walsh on new-look selection panel in Jamaica KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) - Former West Indies cricketers Wavell Hinds and Courtney Walsh have been appointed on a new-look national senior selection panel for cricket in Jamaica.

Hinds, a former batsman for the regional side has been appointed chairman making the move up from the Under-19 selection panel, with the rest of the panel including Walsh, the fast-bowling great, Delroy Morgan, Wayne Lewis and Cleveland Davidson.

“The new board in select-

ing the panel deliberated carefully and in the end we believe what we came up with a good mix,” said Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) president Wilford Heaven.

“We have Morgan coming back to lend his experience, Hinds and Davidson stepping up from their successful stint with the Under-19s, Lewis, who is new, plus Walsh.”

Both Walsh, the recently elected JCA second vice-president, and Lewis are serving as national selectors for the first time.

World Champs Windies to face Ireland in Jamaica ST JOHN’S, Antigua – The WICB today announced that defending World T20 Champions West Indies will face Ireland in two T20 Internationals at Sabina Park, Jamaica, in February, 2014. The two teams will also meet in a One-Day International also at the historic venue.

The three-match series will be played immediately following the NAGICO Super50 Tournament in Trinidad and Tobago.

Following the series West Indies will played three ODIs against England at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua (February 28, March 2 and 5) and three T20s at Kensington Oval in Barbados (March 9, 11 and 13).

“We are delighted to welcome the Irish Team to play against our Windies in this upcoming series. It comes immediately after the NAGICO Super50 Tournament and will be a great opportunity for the squad to get quality preparation ahead

of the visit by England and before they head off to defend the ICC World T20 title which they won so spectacularly back in October 2012,” said Richard Pybus, the WICB Director of Cricket.

“It will also signal the start of the international season in the West Indies and it promises to be a bumper year of cricket for the fans here in the Caribbean. The Windies will have several assignments and we foresee some tough and exciting cricket as we look to build and move up the ICC rankings in all three formats.”

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday December 20, 2013

India battle back after South Africa suffer collapse (REUTERS) - A spectacular toporder batting collapse left South Africa floundering on 213 for six on the second day of the first Test against India yesterday.

The Proteas slipped from a commanding 130 for one to 146 for six in reply to India’s total of 280 before an unbeaten partnership of 67 between Vernon Philander (48 not out) and Faf du Plessis (17 not out) steadied the innings.

They remain 67 runs behind India’s first innings total on a Wanderers wicket that usually quickens on the second and third days, as was the case in the afternoon session when the tourists tore through the home side’s top order.

Ishant Sharma (three for 64) and Mohammed Shami (two for 48) were the chief destroyers in a brilliant spell of fast bowling after tea.

“Some of the dismissals didn’t have much to do with the pitch but the wicket is offering quite a lot to the seamers, they just have to get the right length,” South African batsman Hashim Amla told reporters.

“We are not out of the woods yet but we have started a bit of a recovery. You can see now that 280 is a pretty good total on this wicket, so chasing anything like that in the fourth innings is going to be tough.”

The day should have been

better for India but Rohit Sharma dropped a simple chance off du Plessis at second slip off the bowling of Shami with 10 minutes of play remaining.

India lost their last five wickets for 16 runs in the morning session and South Africa suffered the same fate in the afternoon.

But while it was the Indian tail that were skittled, for the Proteas it was the wickets of Amla, Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith, JP Duminy and AB de Villiers, with Amla (36) being the first to go as he left a Sharma delivery that nipped back into him and cannoned into the stumps.

Kallis fell for a first-ball duck, Sharma trapping him leg-

before-wicket to extend a poor run of form for the 38-year-old, who now averages just six in his last seven innings.

Smith batted doggedly for 68 but became India’s third wicket in nine balls when Khan trapped him leg-before-wicket, the 14th time he has got him out in Test matches.

Ten minutes earlier South Africa had looked comfortable at the crease but suddenly the Indian quicks appeared unplayable. Duminy scratched around for his two runs before edging Shami to Murali Vijay at first slip.

Two balls later the tourists had the prized wicket of de Villiers (13), who was beaten for pace on the quickening wicket

and struck on the pads in front of the wicket.

“South Africa are still trailing us by 67 runs,” Indian batsman Ajinkya Rahane said. “We need to continue to bowl well tomorrow and take wickets of their tail. Then we need to bat well because chasing 275 runs on this pitch will be a challenge.”

South Africa had run through India’s tail in the morning session with some excellent seam bowling.

The tourists resumed on 255 for five, but Philander (four for 61), who took his career tally to 99 Test wickets, and Morne Morkel (three for 34) restricted them to 280 all out, a total that now looks like a good one.

New Zealand name squad for ODI series against West Indies India’s Suresh Rahane is dismissed in the next over in similar fashion, nicking a backof-a-length delivery from an airborne Vernon Philander.

Angry Sammy holds back from blasting Shillingford’s suspension

Darren Sammy HAMILTON, New Zealand procedure in which things are (CMC) - West Indies captain done. I’ve always been one Darren Sammy has stopped who has stuck by the rules. I short of openly criticising the don’t want to find myself in suspension of off-spinner Shane any compromising situation”.

Marlon Samuels was al“I’d love to spill my guts lowed to continue his off-break out and say what I have to delivery in international cricket, say,” Sammy said. “No matter but banned from bowling his what the situation there is a quicker balls and coach Ottis

Gibson has said that Shillingford and Samuels will receive the full support of the West Indies Cricket Board.

“I would have loved to say a lot of things but I’ve always been a diplomatic guy so won’t take part in that. We all have our personal opinions. Some have voiced it and we’ll just put all our energy into this Test,” said Sammy.

“The board, coach and director of cricket at home are going to handle it and I’m backing them to handle it in the best possible way for us as a team and especially for Shilly and Marlon.”

It is the second time the Dominican bowler has been suspended from international cricket after a similar suspension in 2010.

The WICB is studying the full report before deciding on their next course of action but Gibson has said that work to rehabilitate Shillingford’s bowling will begin in the New Year.

“It’s a tough pill to swallow. We all support Shilly as a team. He’s been through that before and hopefully his mental toughness will carry him through,” said Sammy, who along with Shillingford, plays for the Windward Islands in the WICB regional tournaments.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (CMC) - New Zealand have included Jesse Ryder in its one-day squad for the series against West Indies starting on Boxing Day in Auckland.

The 29-year-old last played for his country in February 2012 against South Africa and has slowly returned to cricket after being viciously attacked in Christchurch in March.

Ryder, who has played 39 ODI matches for New Zealand and has a strike rate of 89.72, has had a successful

return to domestic cricket for his new side the Otago Volts, scoring two centuries and two half-centuries in four Plunket Shield matches.

Paceman Tim Southee will miss the first two matches as he is having his big toe treated on Tuesday in Auckland and is expected to return in time for the Queenstown match on New Year’s Day. Auckland’s Martin Guptill returns to the squad after missing the recent tours to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka through injury.

Wellington’s Luke Ronchi

will take the wicket-keeping gloves for the five-match ODI Series ending in Hamilton on January 8.

The squad for the two ANZ Twenty20 matches, which follow the ODI series, will be named in early January.

New Zealand squad to play ODI Series v West Indies: Brendon McCullum, Corey Anderson, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, James Neesham, Luke Ronchi, Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson.

Ramdin and Chanderpaul revive Windies with record-breaking stand HAMILTON, New Zealand (CMC) - A gallant 200-run partnership between Denesh R amdin and Shivnarine Chanderpaul pulled West Indies out of a spectacular slump on the first day of their third and final Test at Seddon Park Hamilton here yesterday.

Ramdin scored his fourth Test hundred and Chanderpaul closed in on his 29th as West Indies recovered from 86 for five after lunch to reach 289 for six, having squandered a solid start of 77 for one in just 34 deliveries, where they lost four wickets for nine runs in less than 30 minutes of typical chaos after lunch.

Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieran Powell put on 41 for the first wicket before Powell, on 26, edged Neil Wagner to wicketkeeper BJ Watling.

Brathwaite, promoted to play his first Test since 2011 when Darren Bravo was injured during practice, reached 45 before his dismissal soon after lunch which started the top order collapse.

But Ramdin and Chander-

paul stunned New Zealand with a sixth-wicket salvage operation that lifted the score to respectability as the West Indies fight to win the Test in a bid to level the three-match series.

Ramdin was dismissed just before the close for 107 while Chanderpaul was not out 94, the two sharing a new West Indies sixth-wicket record of 200 for Tests in New Zealand, eclipsing 165 between Gordon Greenidge and Jeff Dujon 26 years ago.

Ramdin was dropped twice on 57 and 92 at midwicket and short cover, and Chanderpaul

escaped with several airy nudges that just beat leg gully.

Corey Anderson was the most successful of the New Zealand bowlers with three for 25 off 14 overs and while the host nation is playing the same team that won the second Test inside three days by an innings and 73 runs after the first was drawn, the West Indies made three changes.

Sunil Narine replaced spinner Shane Shillingford, who has been suspended for an illegal bowling action, Braithwaite came in for the injured Bravo and Veerasammy Permaul took the place of Shannon Gabriel.

By Calvin Roberts HAVING blasted home a double in his team Queen Street-Tiger Bay’s 4-0 quarterfinal win over Berlin Massive, Deon Alfred returned last Tuesday night and repeated the feat in their semifinal encounter against Hope Street-Tiger Bay, earning them a place in the final of this year’s Guinness ‘Greatest of de Streets’ Futsal football competition at the National Cultural Centre tarmac.

Asked to play two matches on the same night once they won the first, Queen Street-Tiger Bay showed that they have the stamina and endurance to do so, even if it was at the expense of their village mates in Hope Street-Tiger Bay whom they defeated 3-1.

In the other semifinal matchup, Stevedore Housing Scheme displayed grit, stamina and determination to dispose of Albouystown ‘B’ 5-4 on sudden-death penalty kicks from the halfway mark,

O’Brien.

O’Brien, who served the GOA for over two decades, told Chronicle Sport while he is no longer the General Secretary, he advises them on a number of things. Ninvalle gave the vote of thanks on behalf of the recipients and said the timely gesture is a `shot in the arm’ for all the associations.

following a 0-0 result at the end of regulation time, to book a matchup with Queen Street.

Alfred scored the first two goals in his double double in the 3rd and 16th minutes of play which together with strikes from Alpha Fletchman (18th) and James Meredith (24th), steered Queen Street-Tiger Bay into the semifinals with a 4-0 win over Berlin Massive.

In the second quarterfinal matchup, Dwayne Dickson’s 32-second strike was all Hope Street-Tiger Bay needed to give pre-tournament favourites West Front Road ‘Gold is Money’ their exit ticket out of the tournament.

The scoreline was the same when Stevedore faced California Square in the third quarterfinal match of the night, with Quason Winter finding the back of the net in the 5th minute for the victors, before Marlon Nedd scored a brace in the 10th and 23rd minutes of play for Albouystown ‘B’, who came away with a 2-0 win over Island All Stars.

The two sides from Tiger

Bay, namely Queen Street and Hope Street had the bad luck of the draw, since they were destined to face each other in the first semifinal.

Alfred continued to show his mettle by scoring in all of Queen Street-Tiger Bay’s fixtures.

He did not disappoint their fans, as he found the back of the net twice in the 13th and 23rd minutes and along with a solitary strike from Dion Fredericks in the 28th minute, handed Hope Street their marching orders even though Stephan Moore pulled one back for them, one minute before Fredericks’ goal.

Semi-final number two was an exciting one, in which both teams displayed stern and stubborn defence to deny each other, sending the fixture into penalty kicks and later sudden-death penalties from the halfway line, in which Stevedore came out on top

and earned the right to meet Queen Street-Tiger Bay in tomorrow night’s final at the National Park, while Hope Street and Albouystown ‘B’ will battle for third.

Cash prizes totalling G$1M will be distributed to the various winners, with the top team taking home $500 000, while the second-, thirdand fourth-placed teams take home $300 000, $200 000 and $100 000 respectively along with trophies, while all the teams in the preliminary round will pocket $25 000, $20 000, $15 000 and $10 000 each, according to their placing.

Like the previous two years of the tournament, the winners and runners-up will go on to represent Georgetown in the nationwide tournament, whose winner will represent Guyana in next year’s Caribbean ‘Guinness Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football competition that is scheduled to be held in Trinidad and Tobago in June.

IN KEEPING with the spirit of sharing and goodwill, the Vryman’s Erven Training Centre in Region 6 presented a quantity of boxing gear to the New Opportunity Corps (NOC) in Region 2. Both of the centres come under the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport training programmes.

Assistant Director of Youth, Davanand Ramdatt noted that a survey was done at the NOC to determine how training and the students’ participation in sports and cultural activities can be enhanced at the centre. The survey indicated that the students had interest in participating in boxing.

The department has since met with the Deputy Permanent Secretary, Steve Ninvalle and discussed the re-launch of boxing at the NOC and the managers of both of the centres, Mark Dover - NOC and Omeshwar Sirikishun – Vryman’s Erven, expressed satisfaction with the presentation of the items.

Ramdatt explained that the NOC has a sports club that was launched about 6 months ago, and the aim is to have youths from the surrounding community go to the NOC for sports activities.

This he added will help with the re-integration process.

So far the students are strong with cricket, athletics and football and the institution also has a history of producing many athletes and even boxers.

GCB Senior Chairman of Selectors charges players … Chanderpaul in 37-man to represent country with pride squad, no place for Christian

By Calvin Roberts

SENIOR Chairman of Selectors of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Rayon Griffith last Wednesday afternoon charged the 37-man squad to represent Guyana with pride, when they go out to do so in next year’s West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional fourday and NAGICO Super50 tournaments.

The 34-year-old Griffith, himself a former first class fast bowler, made the charge before announcing the 37-man squad which will go into training as early as next week Saturday and which also includes dependable middle-order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, but has no sign of Derwin Christian.

Prior to announcing the squad, Griffith in an invited comment with Chronicle Sport said he saw some good performances from a few players in the just concluded GCB/Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company/Hand-in-Hand-sponsored four-day tournament, who merited selection in the training squad despite the weather playing

abroad and compete.

“However, while we will be giving them some early preparation with lots of cricket exercises, matches and game simulations planned, I wish to remind the players that when they go out there, they are competing for Guyana, carrying the Golden Arrowhead on their chest.”

He added, “For far too long we have had players who were giving us a show during the encampment period and when they get out there, their attitude and performances are beyond mediocre stage and more likely like ‘I don’t care’ stage and I wish to stamp that out now. As the saying goes, ‘better late than never’.”

Quizzed on his thoughts about the just concluded tournament which Berbice won to regain the title they lost to Demerara three years ago, Griffith said the batsmen especially those in the senior bracket lacked application.

“Yes we know the weather played a part in the tournament, with even the curators being affected, but even if that is so, some of these guys are semi-professionals and they should have applied themselves more, espe-

“The weather, which we have no control over, played a great part in hampering the tournament and the games were not played in the best of conditions at times especially wicket-wise and to judge the players in such conditions was difficult.

“Despite such, with the weather also hampering programmes that were being run by the Georgetown Cricket Association and other associations around Guyana, we did manage to see some creditable performances from a few players, whom I will not mention at this time, but will safely say merited selection in the training squad,” explained Griffith.

He said the provisional squad of 37 players was selected as the GCB saw it fit to have both the Regional four-day and NAGICO Super50 units commence training as early as possible, unlike previous years when preparations got started late.

“I think we need to give the guys some early and adequate preparation, since this area has always been a humbug with the teams leaving these shores to go

cially the seasoned ones. Who can say it is proper cricket when we have teams being bowled out twice inside two days.

“Not taking anything away from the bowlers, especially Devendra Bishoo who took 25 wickets and Amir Khan who was close to that figure, and those other bowlers who stuck to their task well, I feel the batsmen should have done more than what they gave us,” said Griffith.

He added, “When you look at the first two rounds, we had a total of six days cricket from both matches, with the first day in the Berbice versus President’s XI game being washed out while Demerara defeated Essequibo inside three days.

“For the second round, a combined total of four days and less than three hours of cricket was played, despite the sun being out in all its glory while for the final round the first three days were washed out and even when play was possible on the final day, both sides batting first were bowled out.”

He chided the players to get their act together, especially the senior ones, since no player is a

permanent fixture on any team irrespective of his or her status.

Meanwhile, among the 37 players who were invited to the trials are Chanderpaul’s eldest son Tagenarine, along with his West Indies Under-19 teammates in Shimron Hetmyer and Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai, Royan Fredericks, Robin Bacchus, Collis Butts, Raun Johnson and Ryan Ramdass.

No place was found for Christian, who earlier this year was replaced by Anthony Bramble in the Guyana team for the final two matches in the Regional four-day and then Super50 tournaments, with Bramble having to compete with Jason Sinclair for the wicket-keeping spot.

The 37 players who were called are: Leon Johnson, Devendra Bishoo, Veerasammy

Permaul, Anthony Bramble, Robin Bacchus, Assad Fudadin, Zaheer Mohamed, Royston Crandon, Christopher Barnwell, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Vishal Singh, Ronsford Beaton, Rajiv Ivan, Amir Khan and Ramnaresh Sarwan.

Chanderpaul Hemraj, Shaquille Williams, Jonathan Foo, Narsingh Deonarine,

Steven Jacobs, Keon Joseph, Raun Johnson, Jason Sinclair, Paul Wintz, Anthony Adams, Rajendra Chandrika, Gudakesh Motie Kanhai, Shimron Hetmyer, Andre Stoll, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Ryan Ramdass, Trevon Griffith, Chris Pattadin, Royan Fredericks, Totaram Bishun and Collis Butts.
