EDITORIAL
CHINA COLONIZING AFRICA More than five centuries ago, Britain and the other European powers colonized Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and other regions of the world. At the center of the colonization process was the slave trade which resulted in millions of Africans being uprooted from their accustomed environment in Africa and placed into an unfamiliarized environment where they were physically, mentally and sexually abused. Today, it seems that China is in the process of recolonizing Africa through its Belt and Road initiative. This grand vision which was launched in 2013 involves China underwriting billions of dollars of infrastructure investment in several countries in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. At the centre of the Belt and Road Initiative lies the challenges of the current western global order that China wants to replace with a Sino-centric one. Because of its high ambitions and the impact it may have on poor nations, the initiative has been criticized by several western nations, including the United States and Britain, among others. Many countries view the initiative as an alternative approach to globalization in an era where powers like the U.S under President Trump seem bent on increasing protectionism and retreating from their global leadership role. Others have questioned the impact and the ripple effect it may have worldwide. However, China has maintained that the goal of the initiative is to help the African and other poor countries in the world plug their infrastructure deficit, which is a necessary step for economic growth and, in particular, industrialization. But it is clear that China intends to use the Belt and Road initiative as an opportunity to position itself diplomatically on the global stage and to amplify its voice on the world stage. According to a study from the Center for Global Development, the initiative provides funds that poor countries desperately want, but its lending technique and rules, which are unlike the other world’s leading government and international financial institution creditors are problematic. The study shows that China’s Belt and Road Initiative to invest as much as US$8 trillion in infrastructure projects across Eastern Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia has already indebted 68 countries. The study found that 23 of those countries are at risk of debt distress today, and nine of them are at a significantly high risk of debt distress, which means that they would default on their loans. They include Pakistan, Djibouti, Maldives, Mongolia, Montenegro, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos and Zambia. The proportion of external debt owed to China by these countries is hovering around 85 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP). Zambia, whose debt is over 150 percent of its GDP has already defaulted on its debt to China. As result, China took control of its State-owned airport, Electricity Company, National Media and major roadways. China has also been given unrestrained control over Zambian mining resources and the unfiltered immigration of Chinese into the country. The takeover of the commanding heights of Zambia’s economy by China led some international observers to conclude that Zambia has become first African nation to become a Chinese colony. Whether true or false, many other countries including Guyana, which have secretly signed on to the Belt and Road Initiative could find themselves in the same predicament. The Jagdeo/Ramotar government sought loans from China to finance the white-elephant Skeldon sugar factory, the Enmore packaging plant and the airport projects, among others. All the agreements were done in secret. Since taking office in 2015, this government has done the same thing. It has borrowed from China. What China has done is that it has studied countries that have corrupt governments and greedy leaders to lend money.
Pre-Contract costs are not for Guyana to pay, much less audit Dear Editor, From a farcical entrapment of the Government of Guyana into being liable for Pre-Contract Costs, outlined in the chart above; costs that under normal conditions are wholly the responsibility of the Contractor Partners in the 2016 Production Sharing Agreement re: Esson, Hess and Nexen. I ask Ms. Kimberly Brassington’s replacement, Ms. Deedra Moe, Senior Director, Public and Government Affairs of ExxonMobil, to enlighten the Guyanese people where in the world that PreContract Costs have been assumed by or foisted on the owner of the oil resource, by ExxonMobil. The tragedy for Guyana is that the smoke and mirrors morass of us being unconscionably burdened with PreContract Costs, has created the tragic-comedy of the Guyana Government having to audit costs that are not normally costs linked to the
resource owner. There is much more swamp we must slog through, to understand why accepting Pre-Contract Costs are the investments of the contractors and not the owner’s costs - re: Feasibility Study or Forefront Conceptual Study, Front End Engineering and Design, Final Investment Decision, Sourcing Financing (definitely at premium rates from companies controlled by ExxonMobil) and Engineer-
ing, Procurement & Construction; all components of PreContract Costs. It prepares the vanquished for all manner of contract abuse, which along with the unparalleled and incomparable two percent royalty, are the most egregious, abusive and immoral features of the 2016 Production Sharing Agreement, between the Government of Guyana and its “partners”: ExxonMobil, Hess and Nexen.
All these fungible and unlimited costs in the context of Pre-Contract Costs are passed onto Guyana, greatly reducing the benefits we will obtain from the oil find of the century in Guyana’s offshore. Why you ask? Business 101 - bonanza profits and dividends for ExxonMobil and its shareholders. Benefits to the people from the frontier country with more than ten billion barrels of oil; matters not a (Continued on page 5)
Dr. Lucas should remove himself from this farce Dear Editor, Having read the letters of George N. Cave, the opportunity is being taken to attend to the germane issue of whether the Minister of Social Protection can appoint a Chairperson to the Guyana Teachers Union and Ministry of Education’s Arbitration Panel. Good industrial relations practices are guided by laws, conventions, and more so ethical custom and practices. To Cave’s question whether the Ministry of Social Protection can arbitrarily/ unilaterally appoint a Chairperson to the panel, the answer is a resounding NO. There is a difference between “nominate” and “appointment.” These words are not used interchangeably or conflated in industrial relations. No appointment can be made without the consent of the parties of interest. In this case, the teachers’ union, which is a party was not involved in any way in the selection process of Dr. Leyland Lucas, neither has the union supported his nomination. As it stands, no legitimate appointment as Chairperson for the panel exists. In every Collective Labour Agreement, there exists a section called the “Avoidance and Settlement of Dispute.” And while in some agreements the act of some parties going to arbitration requires agreement between the two
parties, in the case of the teachers union and Ministry of Education, either party can request same and the other will have to comply. In industrial relations, this process is called Voluntary Arbitration. History will show that in every case where there were differences between any two parties on the selection and agreement for the chairmanship or single arbitrator, the Department of Labour was always asked to nominate person or persons, who were then considered by the affected parties. Even when such nomination was made there had to be agreement between the parties because the process is voluntary. In establishing a threeman arbitration tribunal, the parties of interest have to nominate one representative each and they can either together or with the assistance of the Department of Labour arrive at a Chairperson. After arriving at the Chairperson for the panel, the three identified representatives are considered as nominees and only become arbitrators after the instrument, together with the Terms of Reference, have been issued to them. It is because of this process the word “nominate” is placed in the Collective Labour Agreement. The responsible ministry could only issue the instrument after there is
agreement between the teachers’ union and Ministry of Education. Until such time the above the protocol and practices are adhered to there is no chairman. The case of the teachers and Ministry of Education is not that of Compulsory Arbitration where the responsible minister under the law can arbitrarily appoint a chairperson and ask the parties of interest to submit their representatives to sit on the panel. The government is inappropriately applying Section 4 of the Labour Act, Chapter 98:01, which deals with Compulsory Arbitration. Justice must not only be done it must also be seen to be done. Ministers Amna Ally and Keith Scott, together with Labour Advisor to the Minister Francis Carryl and Chief Labour Officer, Charles Ogle, were at the table advocating on behalf of the employer, i.e. the Ministry of Education. This is a first in Guyana where the ministry that holds the role of conciliating in Labour Disputes has chosen not to remain impartial to the process but immersed itself in alliance with one of the parties in the dispute, i.e. the Ministry of Education. Consequently, they have disqualified themselves to be seen as impartial and credible conciliators to the process in establishing the arbitration
tribunal. Having mudded it up, a way has to be found to put arbitration process in place so that the panel can be seen to do its work. Every day that passes and this is not being achieved makes the environment more acrimonious. What we are witnessing is a case where the government is lurching from one misstep to another. And this is because government has no interest in respecting Collective Bargaining, so officialdom becomes openly contemptuous of trade unions, Collective Bargaining Agreements, the rule of law, time-honoured principles and workers’ rights. This is further confirmed in the fact that government had enough time to withdraw Lucas’ appointment had it paid attention to public responses to its act. But no, it went ahead on Friday last and issued a letter to the teachers union informing that Lucas has been appointed chair and the union must now submit its representative. From Dr. Lucas’ CV and the fact that he is a lecturer at the University of Guyana, it is reasonable to expect that he will not be led by the nose and shall seek after knowledge and advice on this matter. He has the opportunity to remove himself from this farce or face the wrath of the workers. Lincoln Lewis

My list was clean Dear Editor, I am quite elated that as an APNU candidate for the upcoming Local Government Elections, my list of backers from the 52/74 NDC area was successful and I had no problems with any ‘fake’, ‘dead’, or ‘tricked’ persons on that list. My list was clean. However, the PPP Campaign Manager tried her utmost to force some residents to withdraw their names form my list. But she was not successful. The backers on my list refused to budge. This NDC area is comprised predominantly of PPP members and supporters and it is a slap in the face that the APNU is now capable of fielding candidates in that area. This Campaign Manager should understand that when an outsider is gaining control in your stronghold, the reason is that you have failed to represent your people in a meaningful manner. Gone are the days when people are moved by sentiments and symbols alone. This should be a wake-up call for the PPP since good party members are sidelined for the derriere smoochers who claim to be
‘loyal’ supporters and members. However, I was taken aback by the Prime Minister’s ‘My Turn’ statem e n t s i n y e s t e r d a y ’s Guyana Chronicle under the caption, ‘Tricks and Terror Tactics’ supposedly employed by the PPP. He should admit that if such be the case, then he was part and parcel of the same ‘ticks and terror tactics’ and he did fully endorse those tactics when he was an executive member. He spent 50 years in that party and he indeed learnt immensely. However, the PM contradicts himself an ‘AFC Party Elder’ since he dismally failed to address the justifiable claims made by the PPP in the 51/Good Hope NDC area of the AFC backers’ lists. If the PPP is resorting to ‘tricks and terror tactics’ then the AFC is resorting to deceit and fraud. None of these can be justifiable under any circumstances. In the 51/Good Hope area, names of migrants and dead persons appeared on the AFC’s backers list. Eighteen persons never signed the AFC’s list, nine persons lived abroad, one woman is dead
and one could not read and write but yet signed the list. Parties and candidates guilty of electoral fraud should not be allowed to contest any election in this country. I am calling on GECOM to remove these candidates from contesting the LGE and the Prime Minister should ensure that this is done if he is serious about stopping electoral fraud and malpractices. I agree with him that the ‘methods must be fair and not foul’. But how does he address that in the AFC? F i n a l l y, (Bharrat) Jagdeo must stand true to his words that he will withdraw from contesting in areas where the PPP is guilty of fraud. Will he do that as the General Secretary of the PPP? Furthermore, he as the Leader of the Opposition should call upon his members to desist from harassing those persons who have voluntarily backed other political parties. When supporters and members move to other political parties it is primarily because they feel that their interests are not adequately represented. It is not their fault. Raj Lakram NDC Councillor 52/74
Pre-Contract costs are not for... From page 4 whit to most global oil companies, including ExxonMobil, Hess and Nexen, as exemplified by the 2016 PSA. Pre-Contract Costs have soared from $99 billion in 2016 to $215 billion in 2018 and projected to $946,000,000,000 for the Liza 1 Project. How Guyana will ever get out of this octopus trap of a contract is via immediate renegotiation that is not swayed and bungled by partisan politics. Instead, the renegotiation process should only be influenced by what is fair and just for Guyana. It is also distressingly painful to contemplate the Pre-Contract Costs that our “partners” will force upon us for the other oil discover-
ies in Guyana’s offshore wells - re: Payara, Liza Deep/2, Snoek, Turbot, Ranger and Pacora, Longtail-1 and Hammerhead. What the people of Guyana need are pre-cogs that were available and utilized in the Minority Report movie, where the pre-cogs fore-knowledge of crimes, was used to prevent crimes from taking place. Thus, this fictional solution is as un-actionable as the heavily alloyed Pre-Contract costs dumped on Guyana by our “partners”, consistent

with trying to limit and remove whatever ExxonMobil conjures as Pre-Contract costs. Guyana paying any monies for pre-contract costs is groundless, lacking justification and utterly foolish. Why must we go through this farce of auditing expenditures that are solely those of Exxon, Hess, and Nexen? The royal contract screwdown, with the mindless two percent royalty contraction are repulsive. Pre-Contract Costs are not for Guyana to pay, much less audit. Nigel Hinds
What about checks on our locally grown food? Dear Editor, More than once I’ve written about local produce, mainly vegetables and fruits, being laced with toxic chemicals and before the time frame for these chemicals to finish their process, they are available on the markets. As a result, they are purchased and unfortunately for some people, they suffer from that deliberate act. Some get serious bouts of diarrhoea, vomiting or serious bouts of headache. Others have penned their concerns about this dastardly act but to date, no action have been taken to curb this. I’m wondering if the current Minister of Agriculture who was catapulted out of retirement, is capable enough to enact some sort of regulation to monitor the farmers and their method of applying the chemicals to their produce and allowing the time frame for the chemicals to properly do its work. Editor, periodically we would hear about the successful raids being carried out by joint agencies to address the various expired food items that are being imported by unscrupulous business men/im-
p o r t e r s . These businesses would announce sales close to the expiry dates. Now the local markets are being flooded with expired edibles, mainly confectionaries. Apart from that, there are many bottled and canned products that are expired and easily obtainable countrywide and mainly targetting schools, because the children are not aware of the dangers from using expired products. They are simply not aware enough to check for expiry date. In addition, there are products selling that don’t have any manufactured date or expiration date and also there are products without any English writing to tell you what you eating/drinking or what are the contents. Over the weekend, I personally inspect a popular drink and no date can be found anywhere on the bottle or cap. Editor, only recently, I was communicating with one of the best reporters in this
country and I was telling him about my concern with expiry dates being erased and new dates stamped. He informed me that many big companies locally are involved in that unscrupulous act. The reason that they are not being exposed is another story. My assumption is that many are scared for their lives or jobs, should they choose to expose these crooks. With the promises arising from the oil, we are seeing an influx of people showing an interest in Guyana and many venturing here with their families. Is it possible for those responsible be more vigilant and do their work properly that they are being paid so that people could see we are a responsible country? Sahadeo Bates

This ministry is not in a crisis Dear Editor, The Ministry of Finance notes with absolute disgust the false information contained in ‘Financial Secretary Hector Butts departing Ministry of Finance...fourth senior officer to leave in recent months’ -KN, 2018-10-01. These are the facts: 1. The Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana indicated by way of letter to the Finance Secretary, Dr. Hector Butts, on September 13, 2018, its decision to not renew his employment contract after it expires on October 26, 2018. 2. The Finance Secretary by way of letter dated September 25, 2018 acknowledged receipt of the letter. Beyond these two pieces of correspondence, there has been no communication by the Finance Secretary on matters relating to his contract to
the Minister of Finance as falsely claimed by your article. Please also note that the appointment of the Finance Secretary is done by the President of Guyana and it is finite. We wish to also allay any undue fears that your article may have provoked that the Ministry of Finance is in any kind of crisis. We are therefore pleased to advise your readership that a Finance Secretary has been identified and an offer of employment accepted by him. His tenure will begin on November 1, 2018. The positions of Deputy Finance Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of NPTAB were advertised. The response was tremendous and so, we are on course to have both persons installed by October 15, 2018. The Ministry of Finance
in preparing for its new role and responsibilities in the Oil and Gas sector has to quickly build capacity. In this regard, we are currently aggressively recruiting and training persons; already, three employees from critical departments have secured scholarships to pursue Masters degrees in the UK. Upon their return next year, they will be joined by two other employees who will graduate from Universities in China and Japan. In January 2019, another employee will be sent to the World Bank - the first time that Guyana has qualified for this training. We are optimistic that the Ministry will be better positioned and more equipped to manage Guyana’s economy as we progress towards First Oil. Public Relations Ministry of Finance
Fuel smuggling on Morowhanna Dear Editor, The Mabaruma residents of Region 1 (Barima-Waini) claim that they do need to know who really is in charge of Morowhanna, which has become a hotspot for lawlessness. They are claiming that even the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Coast Guards are engaged in fuel smuggling. My understanding is that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) took over the management of Morowhanna
from a private citizen and promised to install pure water systems electricity and build mechanisms to control flooding. The GRA has failed miserably in this regard even to provide transportation for schoolchildren as they have promised. The GDF Coast Guards are engaged in the smuggling of fuel at Morowhanna. On 24th September, 2018, I saw this myself as a fast moving speedboat drove past the Morowhanna check
point for the collection of duties and headed for Kumaka. The fast moving boat with GDF Coast Guards had about seven big drums of smuggled fuel, which moored at the stelling of a popular businessman at 17:30 hrs on Monday 24th September, 2018. It was brought to my attention also that the GDF Coast Guards without the permission of the Smith Creek Toshao and Council entered the community to be with the wives of Amerindian men when they are not at home. Mabaruma residents are appealing for the intervention of President David Granger and the Commissioner-General of the GRA at Morowhanna so that the current lawlessness can be put to an end.

Can the moral morass of any society run so deep? Dear Mr. Editor, At the end of his (valid, I think) critique about our society, Mr. Freddie Kissoon returns to the subject of the prize awarded to his daughter when she was the best 2nd Year student at UG. He is concerned that no one has commented on the value of the prize- $875. Can Mr Kissoon not understand what the leader of the Guyanese/Canadian alumnae of the university who instituted the prize said in his letter? The gist of what was said is that the prize, which started as a reasonable sum, has been affected by the fall in the value of the Guyana dollar. The money was raised by just 10 individuals. They contributed out of their own pockets, and raised funds by means of activities (for which they also paid for their tickets). The money was then sent to Guyana, to be lodged in a local bank, with the interest paying for the prizes. It is still in the local bank, in a number of accounts for the individual prizes. After the fall in the Guyana dollar, he said that he suggested to UG that the money be combined into one prize. UG responded that they wanted to keep the multiple prizes. So what should the 10 fundraisers do then? Start raising more funds again? Dig into their pockets and send more money? Mr. Kissoon, being in Canada does not mean that the individual is rich. They have to pay income tax, property tax, social security payments, health insurance and provide for their families just as anyone else must do. And while we can wear the same clothes all the year round, they and their families have to have two sets, one for winter and one for summer. If they had kept their money in a Canadian Bank while sending the interest home each year, the prize, in Guyana dollars, would have gone up as the value of the Guyana dollar fell (more Guyana dollars for each
Canadian dollar sent home). Once the money was converted into Guyana dollars and lodged in a local bank twenty or more years ago, the amount remains the same, or may even fall if bank interest rates are lowered. As the Guyana dollar fell in value so did the value of the prize, since the amount of money available did not increase. Mr. Kissoon, when I returned to Guyana to work as a lecturer at UG, my salary was $600. That was a large salary at the time (1967). It was more than I would have received if I had entered the civil service. It was equivalent to the amount my father earned after more than forty years working at Bookers as their analytical scientist (towards the end of his career, he was elevated to a “Senior Executive”. The salary did not increase). At that time, my shopping bill at Yong Hing’s Supermarket was never more than seventy to eighty dollars per week. After working for two years, my husband and I could start to buy a house in what is now being described as that posh upscale neighbourhood, Bel Air Park. The price? $30,000. Yes, that is thirty thousand dollars. Where can anyone now buy a three bedroom house for thirty thousand dollars? After our parents died, the children sold their house in Wortmanville for $1.25 million, which sounds a lot until it was converted into US and Canadian dollars to be sent to my brothers and sister. The Guyana dollar was
once on par with the Eastern Caribbean dollar. Today, one Guyana dollar is worth less than two cents EC. I am still unable to wrap my mind around the thousands of dollars quoted calmly by everyone around me. To me, it sounds like the money in the game, Monopoly; and I have to do a quick conversion to EC dollars before I can decide if an item is worth the price. Therefore, Mr Kissoon, once these Guyanese Canadians put the sum they raised into a Guyanese bank, the only way the prizes could retain the value that was originally intended would be by (a) the group continuing to fund raise annually in order to increase the original capital sum, so that the Guyana dollar payment could increase as the value of our dollar fell, or (b) combining all the prizes into one annual prize, which would probably require UG’s agreement, if, as I assume, the bank accounts are in the name of the University of Guyana, not the name/s of the alumnae who are not resident here, or (c) by keeping the capital in Canada and sending the interest annually to UG. Somehow, I do not think that when they had the idea of providing prizes for UG students they ever imagined that the value of the Guyana dollar would have fallen to its current level. If they had thought of that, I expect they would have kept the money in Canada. I do not see the point of blaming them for something over which they have no control, namely the collapse of the Guyana dollar. Pat Robinson Commissiong
What about the legal fees for the GuySuCo bond? Dear Editor, Permit to offer some advice to guide your investigative journalism with respect to the captioned matter. Firstly, I must commend your media house for the good work in investigating and reporting these issues of national importance. I note NICIL responded to your article yesterday about the arranger fees for the $116M GuySuCo bond which they said such fees are normal. That is correct indeed, however, there is another fee, which I haven’t seen reported in the public domain as yet and that is, legal fees. The underwriting fees for
such instrument would constitute the arranger fees plus legal fees. Given that this bond is the first and of such magnitude, and, that there is only one law firm in this country that has the capacity to underwrite a bond instrument, then naturally the legal fees would be much greater than the arranger fee. I am presuming within the region of $200 -$500M, if it’s greater, it would not be surprising. Hence, I would love to see your media house investigate this aspect and ascertain the legal fees for underwriting the bond and reveal that information to the public. Avinash

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure has started a campaign to increase public knowledge of renewable energy technologies, especially for businesses and hinterland residents, at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre. The programme got underway yesterday. The Hinterland Electrification Company Inc., which is a department of the Public Infrastructure Ministry, will spearhead this project. The objective of this programme is to improve the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure to develop renewable energy infrastructure. Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson, stated that he hopes Guyana achieves 100% renewable energy.

The Minister assured that Guyana intends to examine the potential of all energy sources it has, including solar, hydropower and biomass energy. “Fossil fuels are extremely harmful to the environment.” So far, the Ministry intends to focus efforts on building solar farms at Bartica, Lethem, Mahdia, Port Kaituma and Matthews' Ridge.

entists. The government spent millions funding 22 scientific studies that it did not introduce as evidence in its lawsuit. It also withheld them from the public. The Mexican government simultaneously handed numerous lucrative energy contracts to BP, including five oildrilling sites, two natural gas pipeline contracts, and a plan to build 1,500 BP-branded gas stations. These findings were discovered after years of information requests through Mexico's transparency agency, which were initially met with resistance. The agency regularly returned blacked-out documents and ignored questions, claiming the Mexican federal lawsuit in the US against BP barred it from releasing information. Many of the answers it did give were vague, and some were flat-out wrong.

Bolivia sea dispute: UN rules in Chile’s favour
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled against Bolivia in its dispute with neighbouring Chile over access to the Pacific Ocean - a feud dating back to the late 19th Century.Landlocked Bolivia lost access to the sea in 1884 after a war with Chile and has tried to regain it ever since. The court said Chile was not obliged to negotiate granting Bolivia access. The ruling, which comes after five years of deliberations, is final and binding. Despite the final nature of
the ruling, Bolivian President Evo Morales said “Bolivia will never give up”. Judges at the United Nations’ top court did not rule on whether Chile or Bolivia had the rights to the disputed coastal stretch, it only ruled on whether Chile had an obligation to negotiate with Bolivia. Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf announced that the court found by 12 votes to three that Chile did not have such an obligation. The ruling is a major set-
back for President Evo Morales, who was present at the court in The Hague as the ruling was read out. As the judge dismissed Bolivia’s arguments one by one, Mr Morales’s face turned increasingly sombre. The president, who has been in power since 2006, is running for a fourth consecutive term in 2019 and the issue of the access to the Pacific Ocean is an emotive issue for Bolivians. Despite having no access to the sea, Bolivia maintains a small navy and celebrates the Day of the Sea every year.

Photographer at center of Nobel Prize rape scandal gets prison Sweden (New York Post)A French photographer whose rape scandal led to the shelving of this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature was sentenced Monday to two years in prison. A Swedish court found Jean-Claude Arnault guilty of raping a woman the night of Oct. 5, 2011, in a case that has rocked the Swedish Academy, which doles out the prestigious annual prize. Arnault, 72, is married to poet Katarina Frostenson, who was among eight of the academy’s 18 lifetime mem-
bers who’ve resigned or are on leave in the wake of the scandal. Without a quorum to make key decisions, the academy was forced to forgo the announcement of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature for the first time in 70 years. For years the academy funded Arnault’s Forum club, a meeting place for the cultural elite that’s popular among budding writers looking for their big break. Arnault, who is well known in Sweden’s cultural scene, was charged with two
counts of rape relating to incidents against one woman in October and December 2011. Prosecutors dropped several other sexual misconduct allegations against him due to lack of evidence or because the statute of limitations had expired. He was acquitted of the December rape charge by the Stockholm district court on Monday. Elisabeth Massi Fritz, the lawyer for the victim, said Arnault’s conviction on the other count of rape was “a huge relief for my client and a victory for justice.”

Janikowski’s 52-yard FG lifts Seahawks over Cardinals National Intermediate Seattle halfback Mike Davis rushed for a careerhigh 101 yards and two touchdowns and Sebastian Janikowski made a 52-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Seahawks to a 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on Sunday. The Seahawks drove 31 yards in seven plays without a timeout to set up Janikowski’s winning kick after Arizona’s Phil Dawson pushed a 45-yard field goal attempt wide right with 1:55 remaining. Russell Wilson completed 19-of-26 passes for 172 yards for the Seahawks (2-2), who
won their second straight and have not lost in Arizona since 2013. Wilson recorded his 75th victory, tying Matt Hasselbeck for the franchise lead. Arizona rookie quarterback Josh Rosen completed 15-of-27 passes for 180 yards and his first career touchdown in his first start. David Johnson had a season-high 71 yards rushing and a touchdown. Rosen’s 22-yard touchdown pass to Chad Williams with 8:59 remaining tied the game at 17, concluding an 80yard drive that included 31and 19-yard completions. Seahawks safety Earl Thomas
suffered a lower left leg injury on the play and was carted off the field. Davis’ 1-yard run with one minute remaining in the third quarter gave Seattle a 17-10 lead, a quarter in which the Seattle defense limited the Cardinals to 14 yards total offense. The Cardinals (0-4) have lost their first four for the first time since 1986, when Gene Stallings’ team lost its first five. The Cardinals made some offensive noise under Rosen after generating a league-low 20 points and two touchdown in their first three games. Davis scored on 20-yard

touchdown run for a 7-0 lead with 6:09 left in the first quarter. Davis, starting when Chris Carson could not go because of a hip injury, followed a block by Wilson to leap into the end zone. Johnson fumbled on the Cardinals’ next series, but Janikowski missed a 38-yard field goal. Dawson made a 23-yard field goal, his first of the season, to cap a 68-yard drive when the Cardinals closed to 7-3. Rosen threw an apparent 27-yard touchdown pass to Chad Williams on that drive that was overturned after video replay when Williams was ruled to have step out of bounds. Johnson scored on a 2yard run for a 10-7 lead with 1:52 remaining in the first half after Janikowski missed a 52yard field goal attempt. Dawson missed a 50-yarder as time expired in the half.

boxing c/ships punches off Friday The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will host its National Intermediate Championship from October 5 to 7 at the National Gymnasium, according to the president Steve Ninvalle. The championship, which in 2015 was rebranded and named after former Commonwealth and National Champion, Lennox Blackmore, will see the participation of the defending champions, Guyana Defence Force (GDF) along with their arch-rivals Republican Gym (Prisons). Ninvalle noted that fighters from Regions 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are expected to exhibit their skills nightly from 19:30hrs. “This will lead into our National Open Championship
in mid-November and from that tournament we will shortlist our national team for the Caribbean Championships, which will be held in Guyana from December 6 to 9,” Ninvalle said. At last year’s GBA/ Lennox Blackmore National Intermediate Championship, Kevin McKenzie (GDF) was adjudged Best Boxer in the Elite Class, while Forgotten Youth Foundation’s (FYF) Keevin Allicock was voted Best Boxer in the Youth category. Blackmore was 27 years old when he won Guyana’s first Commonwealth title, defeating Nigerian Jonathan Dele on points in Lagos in October 1977 to lift the lightweight title.

Second India-West Indies ODI Hafeez called up to Test could be shifted away from Indore squad for Australia series ESPNcricinfo - The second ODI between India and West Indies, scheduled for October 24, could be shifted away from Indore. This is the potential outcome of a tussle over complimentary-ticket allocation between the BCCI and the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA). The disagreement concerns the Holkar Stadium’s pavilion block, which according to the MPCA has a capacity of “close to 7200 seats”. By the state association’s reading of the BCCI’s new constitution, the provision of complimentary tickets cannot exceed 10% “of each category” - which in the pavilion block’s case would be 720. The MPCA, however, has alleged that the BCCI asked for “about 1300” complimentary tickets in the pavilion block, “for various sections of BCCI stakeholders like sponsors, teams, BCCI members, BCCI sub-committee etc.” “The managing committee of MPCA has decided that it is not possible to organise the second ODI between India and West Indies in Indore if BCCI doesn’t back down from its demand of complimentary tickets. We have intimated BCCI,’’ MCA joint-secretary Milind Kanmadikar told PTI on Sun-
Virat Kohli peers out of the team bus. (Hindustan Times) day. According to the MPCA, the BCCI has repeatedly delayed responding to its requests for clarification of the issue, and has therefore left it with too little time to organise the match, and with no option but to step away from hosting it. “In the end, we clarify once again that our intent was always to organise the match and we were forced to land in a situation where the time left henceforth for the match would have resulted in several circumstantial dif-
ficulties for which the host Association would have been unfairly held responsible,” the MPCA’s statement said. “Such big risk is not worth in view of the inordinate delay on part of BCCI on extending clarification and fair decision making. “The unilateral, arbitrary, mysterious and leisurely decision making and working of BCCI has caused such huge loss to Association and the local cricket fans of our State.” The BCCI is yet to respond to ESPNcricinfo’s request for a statement on the issue.
Wilder pushes Fury in frenetic press conference... From page 27 no man” as the “lineal heavyweight champion of the world” and an “elite champion”. Wilder vowed to produce the most devastating knockout of his career when he faces the Brit at the Staples Center on December 1. The two were separated after getting to their feet following Fury’s suggestion that they “have a tickle”, which resulted in Wilder shoving the 30-year-old.Fury said: “I am no challenger for no man, I am the lineal heavyweight champion of the world. That means I’m the best of the best, the elite champion. So this is two champions colliding, I’m challenging for nothing and nobody.” Asked if he was savouring being back in the
limelight after such a long absence before making his return this year, he added: “I’m savouring nothing, the only thing I’m savouring is smashing Deontay Wilder’s teeth in, that’s it. “The world’s press is here, they are here to see the biggest fight of our generation between two undefeated giants and boy are you going to get a fight, you’re in for a real treat because I’m in the mood for no messing and no running around rings and dancing from nobody. “No 15-stone man, like I said before in New York, there is not a 15-stone man on the planet that can beat Tyson Fury and I will stand and prove what I will do to this idiot.“I will punch his face right in, not a problem -
seven days a week and twice on a Sunday. If we fought 30 times I’d win 30 times, that’s how confident I am of beating Deontay Wilder. No problem.”A more relaxed Wilder warned Fury that his words will count for nothing when they step into the ring in his homeland. “When it comes to Tyson Fury, I’m all about devastating knockouts, that’s what I do. There’s no pressure on me to do anything I say I’m going to do, because I know I’m going to do what I’m going to do.” he said. “He knows he’s going to get knocked out. So he can hoot, he can holla, he can build himself up, he can build the confidence. He’s going to feel pain like he’s never felt before.”
Mohammad Hafeez helps the ball to long leg. (Getty Images) ESPNcricinfo - Pakistan have added allrounder Mohammad Hafeez to their squad for the two-Test series against Australia in the UAE. Hafeez will fly to Dubai on the first available flight, ahead of the first Test that begins on October 7. Hafeez’s inclusion is understood to have been made to bolster an inexperienced Pakistan top order that features Imam-ul-Haq, who has played three Tests, and Fakhar Zaman, who is uncapped, alongside regular Test opener Azhar Ali. The move comes at a time when Hafeez’s international career appeared to be winding down after months of being overlooked. Hafeez played the last of his 50 Tests in August 2016 and had since fallen out of favour with the selectors, who most recently ignored him for the Asia Cup that concluded last week. He
last played for Pakistan in July this year, in a T20I against Australia, but was never a consistent fixture in the side, being named in Pakistan’s ODI squad for a bilateral series against Zimbabwe but not featuring in any of the matches. In a further indictment of how far he had fallen, Hafeez was demoted to category B in the PCB’s list of centrally contracted players that was announced in August. Hafeez has been outspoken about his non-selection in recent months, going so far as to nearly call for a press conference against the selection committee. However, he decided against that at the last minute and called his being dropped unfortunate, while making a brief statement about always being available for Pakistan. He has also been critical of Mickey Arthur, the head
coach, who reportedly did not view Hafeez as part of his plans. All of that meant Hafeez was left to play domestic cricket, where he had an excellent run in the Quaid-eAzam Trophy, Pakistan’s premier first-class tournament. Hafeez opened his tournament with a six-wicket haul that consigned Federally Administered Tribal Areas to an innings defeat. He also slammed 280 runs in three matches, including a doublecentury against Peshawar. Pakistan squad: Azhar Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Asad Shafiq, Haris Sohail, Usman Salahuddin, Sarfraz Ahmed (capt & wk), Mohammad Rizwan, Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Bilal Asif, Yasir Shah, Mohammad Abbas, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza and Mohammad Hafeez.

Boxing Coach pleads for Sports Policy and Pension plan By Sean Devers NSC’s Hinterland Boxing Coach Orlon ‘Pocket Rocket’ Rogers is concerned about the state of affairs of Guyanese Sports Men and Women and is adamant that is time for a Sports Policy and a Pension plan for all Sports Men and Women to be implemented. Coach Rogers said this was never addressed during the 23 years when the PPP/ Government was in power and is disappointed that this issue continues to be ignored by this Administration. “I think if a policy is set-up especially when sports personnel leave our shores it will be a great insensitive for them to look forward to when they return with success. A deal must be set out for them, especially when participate in big games like Olympics, Commonwealth, World Games, Pan American games, CAC and we will benefit much more because our Athletes, Boxers and others will go and ensure they Medal for their Country if they know they will be rewarded for their efforts....even if is a piece land or something of the sort to make their achievements memorable,” said the Berbician. Coach Rogers is also looking forward to see a pension plan for all sports men and women and not just Boxing or Athletics. “We need this for all sports because as a young individual flying your Country’s flag on your back and making your country proud, it feels really great. But when you finish and you are in your 50s and 60s and older and you don’t have any academic background, no skill in Trade and any Business plan no Management skills because you concentrated all your and energy on improving your sport,” said the former Boxing Champion. “What would happen there if the sport that we do has a pension plan, every month we can earn a salary for the years we put our energy on the line to represent our Nation instead of standing in front of any Market or Business place seeking a dollar and all we can hear this was Guyana’s best long jumper or Guyana’s best footballer or Guyana’s ex world
Boxing Coach Orlon ‘Pocket Rocket’ Rogers. boxing champion or Martial art specialist,” Rogers lamented. “It makes my skin grow to see so many boxers, footballers and other athletes on the road who are not working or are now working with a security firm or as security with a private firm. I am talking about both male and female, but males mostly if we take a walk and ask most of our boxing ex champions who did great for Guyana what there are doing for themselves it’s all sorts of sad story you hearing,” Rogers said sadly. He mentioned Boxers like Al Thomas, Michael Crawford, Jeff Roberts, Mortimer Cornell, Ray Jones, Evan Paris, Robin ‘Prince’ Lall, the late Ramesh Best, Terrance Alli, Keith Neil, Barrington Cambridge and Barrington Brown are all living less than comfortable lives. “I am sorry to say but I know there is a lot more hardships in boxing that’s why many of our athletes give up their sport at an early age or if they want to make it have to leave Guyana,” Rogers concluded.

The seasoned campaigners, all of whom have already played in excess of 100 OneDay Internationals are among a relatively predictable list of 12 announced yesterday. With the Twenty20 World Cup scheduled for November in the Caribbean, the four players are expected to play a central role in the hosts’ title defence. Twenty-year-old opener Hayley Matthews, one of the side’s leading batsmen, is among the list along with fast bowlers Shamilia Connell and Shakera Selman. Batman Shemaine Campbelle, who only returned to the international set-up for the ongoing South Africa series following a two-year spell in the wilderness, has also landed a contract. However, Trinidadian Reniece Boyce has been included in the group despite a poor start to her international career which has seen her axed from the squad for the ongoing series against South Africa.

Guyana women ranked 116 after seven rounds at Chess Olympiad The Guyana men’s chess Olympiad team went down 3 1 against Malta in round 7, while the women favoured better against Mauritius with a 3 – 1 win. The women took their second match win with 2 wins and 2 draws to secure a three games to one victory against the lower rated Mauritius chess team. Surprisingly, female national champion Varona Thomas had to settle for a draw against the lower rated A. Beekhy who was surely winning the game. Same must be said for young Sasha Shariff who got a draw as well against A. Dindoyal who was the exchange up in a clearly better position. However, Women Candidate Master (WCM) Sheriffa Ali and Nellisha Johnson secured wins to make sure Guyana took the match. First, WCM, Ali, demolished Uvika Essoo’s Scandinavian Defence with some fine tactics, while Nellisha Johnson in a losing position won her opponent’s C. Andhin Queen
after a mistake when she played (25.f4). But as the saying goes in chess, the loser is always the player who makes the last mistake which in this case was the Mauritius player. Meanwhile, the Guyanese men went down 3 - 1 with the only win coming from Candidate Master (CM) Anthony Drayton who turned to the sharp Paulsen Variation of the Sicilian Defence. CM R Zerafa of Malta misplayed the opening and allowed Drayton to gain early control of the center and active play which was more than enough for him to force a win. However, his fellow teammates did not have Malta CM Zerafa, R. 2085 CM Pace, Colin 2132 Darmanin, J. 2069 CM Psaila, C. 2002 Mauritius68 Beekhy, A. 1397 Essoo, Uvika Andhin, C. Dindoyal, A.

US Open title ‘not the happiest memory’, says Osaka AFP - Naomi Osaka made the startling admission yesterday that winning the US Open was “bittersweet” and “not the happiest memory” and revealed that she has been trying to forget about the career-defining victory. The 20-year-old rising star from Japan stunned Serena Williams last month in a tempestuous final in which the American called chair umpire Carlos Ramos “a thief” and later accused him of sexism. “There’s a lot of stuff I want to say about how I felt and whatever,” the world number six said. Williams’s high-profile meltdown made headlines over Osaka’s feat in becoming the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam, although Osaka has declined to point the finger at the American great. “For me, I don’t know, I don’t know, the memory of the US Open is a little bit bittersweet,” Osaka said. “Right after, the day after, I really didn’t want to think about it because it wasn’t

2018 Limacol football tourney
Needling victories for Pouderoyen and Police set up final Police Football Club (PFC) and Pouderoyen FC both earned 1-0 victories in their respective semifinal matches on Sunday night when the Limacol Football tournament 2018 played its penultimate round at the Ministry of Education (MOE) on Carifesta Avenue. In the feature match, PFC were made to work hard against Riddim Squad throughout and at many times, the losing, Mocha Arcadia based club came close to scoring after dominating several periods of play. However, PFC’s Antonio Wallace’s 55th minute strike was the deciding blow in the clash. In the opening match, Pouderoyen who had played each game prior in the competition to a 2-1 result, broke that streak but kept their win-
ning ways alive after needling city side Santos FC. Nine minutes before stoppage time, Amoniki Buntin headed home a thumping header from the right side of goal across the keeper to break the 81minute deadlock. Coach of Pouderoyen FC, Travis Bess, noted after the match to Kaieteur Sport that he is very confident going into the final this Friday. He explained that his West Bank Demerara based club loves playing at MOE ground and he further posited that he has the perfect game plan to stop the policemen. The winner of the tournament will pocket $600,000, second place $300,000, third $150,000, and fourth $75,000. Entrance fee to this Friday’s grand finale at the MOE ground will be $500.

I won a Grand Slam, I don’t think there’s anything that can take away from that... but I feel like it was so strange, I didn’t just want to think about it. “I wanted to just push it to the side.” Osaka, who defeated Diyas 6-4, 6-3 despite not playing her best, faces unseeded American Danielle Collins next. - Wozniacki emphatic Also safely through on Beijing’s outdoor hard courts is another reigning Grand Slam champion, Australian Open winner Caroline Wozniacki. With world number one Simona Halep retiring from the tournament with a back injury and Serena Williams absent, Osaka and Wozniacki are among the favourites. Former world number one Wozniacki was emphatic with a 6-2, 6-3 demolition of Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic. The world number two Dane was never in serious trouble against 41st-ranked Bencic, although it has not
always been like that down the years, Bencic winning four of their past six meetings. Wozniacki will play Croatia’s unseeded Petra Martic in round two. It was a case of seventh time lucky for another former number one, Garbine Muguruza, as the Spaniard set up a meeting with Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus. Muguruza, who is down to 15th in the world, made a fast start as she hammered Ekaterina Makarova 6-0, 6-4, making the seventh match point count against the Russian. Elise Mertens, the 15th seed from Belgium, suffered a surprise defeat to home player Zhang Shuai, the Chinese winning 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Also out is the 17th seed Madison Keys after the American, the 2017 US Open finalist, withdrew with a knee injury. The top men’s seeds make their entrance today, with Juan Martin del Potro, Alexander Zverev and Grigor Dimitrov all in action.
Roach, Joseph land all-format retainers but Lewis snubs offer ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph have been handed all-formats contracts but short-format opener Evin Lewis has snubbed a white-ball offer, in the 2018/19 retainer contracts announced by Cricket West Indies yesterday. The 30-year-old Roach and Joseph, 21, will be joined by Test and one-day captain Jason Holder and strokemaker Shai Hope, as the four players with all-formats contracts. Roach, one of four new players on retainer contracts, returned to international cricket last year following a year-and-a-half on the sidelines with injury and loss of form, and made an immediate impact taking 41 wickets from 11 Tests. Joseph, however, a member of the successful 2016 ICC Under-19 World Cup side, has been out of action for most of the last nine months recovering from a back injury. He played only a couple of OneDay Internationals back in July against Bangladesh. He has not played a Test in over a year and is yet to suit up in a Twenty20 International in his career. Exciting left-hander Shimron Hetmyer, meanwhile, who has emerged as one of the most valued talents in West Indies cricket, will only
hold a red ball contract for the next year. The attacking 21-year-old has played six Tests, 12 OneDay Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals, and has already struck two centuries in ODIs. However, chairman of selectors Courtney Browne said that some players had only blossomed in the shorter formats after contract offers had been made. “At the time of recommending contracts in June some players would have developed in different formats after the process had finished, so their recent performances can’t be considered until the next contract cycle.” Browne said. Lewis, however, a key member of the Windies oneday and T20 side, will be uncontracted for the next year after opting not to tie himself to a retainer. CWI said in a statement that Lewis had been “offered a white-ball contract and declined.”The 26-year-old left-hander has played 35 ODIs and 17 T20s, and has already struck two hundreds in the shortest format. Test vice-captain Kraigg Brathwaite heads the list of those with red-ball contracts, with fellow batsmen Roston Chase, Kieran Powell, Shane Dowrich, along with leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, and
Young batting star Shimron Hetmyer … has landed a red-ball contract. fast bowlers Miguel Cummins and Shannon Gabriel, all included. T20 skipper Carlos Brathwaite, along with offspinner Ashley Nurse and batting all-rounder Rovman Powell, are the three players signing on to white-ball contracts. West Indies A batsman, Sunil Ambris, along with fast bowler Keemo Paul and allrounder Raymon Reifer, have all been handed development contracts. Both Ambris and Paul are members of the Test squad currently in India. CWI chief executive, Johnny Grave, said all players would be contracted from July 1 to June 30 the following year, with their performances assessed from April 1 to March 31. “This will allow for a more efficient process of reviewing, renewing and awarded contracts within West Indies pro-
fessional cricket and give everyone at least three months to plan for the season ahead,” he explained. The West Indies senior team are currently in India for a full series of two Tests, five ODIs and three T20 Internationals, starting Thursday. Meanwhile, the Regional Super50 bowls off in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados tomorrow. CENTRAL RETAINER L I S T : All-format – Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach. Red-ball format – Devendra Bishoo, Kraigg Brathwaite, Roston Chase, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Shimron Hetmyer, Kieran Powell. White-ball – Carlos Brathwaite, Ashley Nurse, Rovman Powell. Development – Sunil Ambris, Keemo Paul, Raymon Reifer.

Basketball fraternity remembers former national player ‘Fat’ Wayne Andries
N
ews of the death of former shooting guard Wayne Andries also known as ‘Fat Wayne and Bouncer’ hit these shores after a battle with cancer last Saturday morning, basketball aficionados have poured in on his passing knowing his impact as a player from the Linden. He leaves to mourn his wife Suzette and son Christopher aged 17 and daughter Christine aged 21 who was the last person to have spoken to her father at the Wycliffe Hospital in New York before he died last Tuesday morning. Andries, who first started out as a player with 76ers in the Linden area, then later Wismar Pistons, was known for his aggressive style. Leading the outpouring of condolences was President of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation Nigel Hinds who said of the 53 year old stalwart, “His passing is an unwelcome surprise to the Basketball community. He was an exceptional basketball player for Linden and Guyana and the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation on behalf of all Guyanese wishes to express their condolences to the family and friends of Wayne.” Hinds further stated: “Wayne Andries as a player was capable of scoring 40 plus points in any game against the best of opponents; and this he did on multiple occasions. We will
miss Wayne and his exploits on and off the basketball court. He was a friend to basketball in words and deeds, a special friend indeed.” The first president of the Linden Amateur Basketball Association, Al McDonald Chapman, remembered the first encounter he had with young Andries was when he spotted the aspiring talented lad in 1982 on the Mackenzie Sports Club hard court where he enquired of him and others around to show how to bounce ball. ‘Fat’ Wayne Andries Another pioneer of the game in Linden, Frank Fraser being the first Secretary of LABA, recalls the outstanding player that Andries was and wondered about his shooting prowess as he expressed condolences to the wife and family of the former national player. Secretary of the LABA, Joe Chapman, said the LABA has expressed deep regrets on his passing ‘even though we knew he was terminally ill.” Back in the early 80s Andries first drew attention to himself as a player with the 76ers and by 1989 joined his best friends Lloyd Ross and Robert Byass to form the Wismar Pistons. That same year he got his first national call up to face Barbados at home here. Two years later he was selected along with Robert Byass, Abdulla Hamid and Tappin to the Caribbean basketball championships in Jamaica.
Bottom centre shows ‘Fat’ Wayne Andries with other players after a workout in New York. Immediately behind him stooping is former National basketball captain James Brusche. There he got his highest score for the national team with a game high 23 against in a loss to Barbados. Among those who visited Andries during the last days were former national captains James Brusche, and Auric Tappin, former National coach John Davidson, Lloyd Ross, Robert Byass, Linden Alphonso, Raymond Padmore and Gary Stephens
among others. Former national Women’s Coach Linden Alphonso acknowledged the daring player that Andries was. This was brought to the fore when a German semi professional side visited Guyana and Andries was among the couple of standout players in that series. He said: “Andries was,
arguably, the best local player on show against the German semi pro team. Subject to correction, he had scores of 18 and 19.” This was against the backdrop, Alphonso noted, that it was “when almost everybody else, with the exception of Dane Kendall who was the other exception, seemed intimidated by the 7 footers.” Cecil Chin, the former
standout FIBA Referee and national player said, “Wayne was one of a string of players (guard) who possessed the skills and attitude of an intelligent b a s k e t b a l l p l a y e r, h e played at every level with a passion that gave selectors no choice but to be elevated to wear the National Uniform which, I must say, with a quality degree of pride.”
