In the first ever Value for Money Audit Report to be published,NBA Jerseys From China, many shortcomings within the Palms Geriatric Institution (Palms) were revealed. The Report was prepared by the Audit Office of Guyana.The shortcomings were listed within the Executive Summary of the 2008 Audit Report, which highlighted the many faults that have been occurring at the institution.According to the Executive Summary, funds that were allocated for the Palms were not identified because the collective budgeting was undertaken by the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security under the Social Services Programme (SSP).Because the Administration of the geriatric home and the Ministry incurred expenditure, the total expenditure for the period could not be determined. The Audit Report stated that the Administration for the Palms could not be held accountable and responsible for the overall expenditure incurred for the Palms because complete information on the said expenditure was not made on behalf of the geriatric home.The Report also disclosed that any worn and discoloured linens available to the residents at the Palms were not replaced, and that no dieticians/nutritionists were available at the Palms to assess the dietary needs of the residents.According to the Report, Nursing Staff would prepare diet sheets to guide kitchen staff in the preparation of meals for the residents; a task which they are not qualified for. “As a result, the dietary needs for the residents were not reliably assessed,Wholesale Jerseys China,” the Audit Report read. It also said that the kitchen staff often prepared meals based only on the items available in the kitchen’s stores.The report explained that because of poor food storage,Blank Arsenal Jersey UK, meals were often contaminated and infested. This was because the Public Health Ordinance was not adhered to in relation to the storage and preparation of food and transporting of meals. “In addition, the kitchen staff were not certified food handlers and the transporting of meals was done in an unhygienic manner,” said the report.The 2008 Audit Report read that the Palms did not follow the World Health Organisation (WHO) Guidelines – Facilities for Older Persons and Geriatric Standards for the comfort of the residents.It said,Stitched Jerseys, “The facilities were poorly maintained and there were inadequate equipment/aids for residents with special needs.”In the report it had been found that apart from the residents, the staff were also dissatisfied “with their poor working conditions,Cheap Jerseys From China, the inadequate supplies of protective gear,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, tools, utensils,Wholesale Jerseys, materials and supplies, and a lack of training opportunities for staff.”

“I think we have sufficient information that this is a suitable contractor for the building of the road.”This was the response of a confident Minister of Transport and Hydraulics, Robeson Benn, when asked whether he had seen any evidence that Makeshwar Fip Motilall’s Synergy Holdings Inc had built a road anywhere in the world.The minister was at the time speaking to media operatives at the OMAI Linden Wharf, where for the first time since its arrival on Sunday last, the road building equipment brought in by Synergy Holdings Inc., for the construction of the road to facilitate the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project, was put on display.When asked to elaborate, the Minister said that he was not pronouncing any more on the matter saying, “I am not saying anything further on the matter…you could go and ferret out and follow all the lines of suspicion that you have…I am telling you this is the contractor for the road project and this is the project we have committed to through this contractor.”He stated that if in future the company defaults, “we will deal with that.”With an inexplicable shroud of secrecy hanging over the arrival of a barge carrying equipment for a project of tremendous importance to the nation,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, the issue had taken on ‘cloak and dagger’ dimensions. But Minister Benn gave no indication that the media,Brian Poole Falcons Jersey, and by extension the citizens, would be any better informed in the near future.“I don’t have to provide that evidence to you….you go seeking the evidence…I don’t have to provide any evidence to you with respect to what the company has done anywhere or what.”This was the blunt reponse by the minister when asked yesterday to provide evidence that Synergy Holdings Inc. did in fact build roads in Florida and Georgia in the United States.For the record, this newspaper did undertake such a search for evidence that the company can in fact undertake the project and “Never heard of it…but I will check,” was the common response when the relevant authorities in the US were asked about Synergy Holdings Inc and its President Makeshwar ‘Fip’ Motilall being associated with road-building.This newspaper had checked with Florida and Georgia Departments of Transportation Procurements and Contracts divisions.That initial search was spawned by the fact that during a press briefing at which Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh and Executive Director of National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited Winston Brassington were asked about Motilall’s road-building experience, it was stated that he did have, and his constructions had been done in the US States of Florida and Georgia.Checks were made at the Georgia Dept. of Transportation,NFL Jerseys Outlet, Contractors’ division, at contact number (404) 631-1990, and this newspaper was also directed to the state’s website (www.dot.ga.gov) which had a list of all prequalified contractors. Motilall of Synergy Holdings Inc., was not included.After several searches using different source data, all related to either Motilall or Synergy Holding Inc., neither name was among the list of prequalified persons, further, there was no record that any road projects were undertaken by the company.Checks at their Florida counterparts at telephone number, (912) 576-3028, also revealed that Synergy Holdings Inc., was not prequalified to undertake road projects in that State.Officials were not familiar with the Company’s name and undertook searches of the state’s database only to turn up empty, with respect to both prequalification or projects already undertaken.Vested interestMinister Benn reiterated that there was a public process and there was a choice made as it relates to the best suited company to undertake the project. It was explained that there were no more advances made to the contractor and any more monies to be handed over as it relates to the project would be for measurable works completed.Senior Engineer Walter Willis, who was a member of the evaluation team that determined the best bid, said that the team had considered the bids and the best bid in terms of price and execution was Synergy Holdings Inc.When asked about the advantages that Synergy Holdings had apart from the lowest price that enabled him to secure the contract,Discount NFL Jerseys, Benn said that Motilall and the company had a vested interest.“He has a clear vested interest, well not he, I think the company has a clear vested interest in seeing that the project is finished.”He said that the company is the holder for the permit for the construction of the hydro power dam and, “they have been working at this for a number of years”Benn noted that aside from the advantage in price and maybe being on the ground and doing the engineering and, “other feasibility and so on,” with respect to the integrated project, “of all the persons who submitted bids, the one which has a clear vested inherent interest in the holistic integrated project other than the government of Guyana is Synergy Holdings.”Reminded that Synergy Holdings Inc will not be executing the project related to the dam and the transmission line, Minster Benn quickly asserted that, “I am saying that right now in terms of historically, … I didn’t say whether he was doing it or not I am saying that the person who has the permit to have a dam constructed there is Synergy Holdings.”The Minister added that the company has been working for a number of years whether by itself or in partnership with others to deliver to Guyana an integrated hydro power project.“Of all the persons who submitted an interest in building the road, and you ask a specific question of what is the other advantage (other than the lowest bid) in respect of doing the road, I am saying clearly the one who has the vested inherent interest and who has the most information on the ground…is that company.”When asked again for evidence of Synergy Holdings Inc building any road in Florida and Georgia, and reminded of the fact that independent checks unearthed none, Benn said, “Sir …I am telling you that Synergy Holding is the contractor for the building of this road…we have committed to that and we will do everything through our ministry to ensure he builds the road to the specifications and quality that is required.”Senior Engineer Willis did explain that in Guyana the owner of the company did not necessarily need to be an engineer but can meet the criterion through his employees.The breakdown of the project awarded to Synergy Holdings Inc states that the upgrade of 89km of road will cost US$3.9M; the 110km of virgin roadway US $7M, the two pontoon crossings or a bridge will be US$1.5M and ‘T’ line clearing is said to be US$3MWillis explained that notice to proceed was given on April 15 last, meaning that the ground-shooting exercise and the survey in order to provide them with details of the design have already gone through two revisions with the last submission being on August sixth last.He explained that at present a team is in the area assessing whether the details provided by Synergy Holdings Inc., are accurate.It was explained there was never any delay in the actual project given that the notice to start actual construction is yet to be had, as the Environmental Protection Agency is yet to give its stamp of approval with the permit.The field assessment has been completed and the report is currently being compiled. It is expected that when this report is submitted then permission should be granted about three weeks later.On the question of what level of dissatisfaction there was from the government as it relates to how the project was progressing, Willis said, “I don’t think that the government is dissatisfied with the way its progressing, they are dissatisfied that the processes have been delayed…What we are doing is as per the contract.”He blamed the rain also for hindering some of the preparatory works necessary before any permits can be issued.Speaking to the age of and hours of work that the equipment already underwent, Willis said at the time of speaking to the press this was not known, but engineers will travel to Linden today where the necessary investigations on the equipment will be conducted.He also noted that if the necessary expertise could not be found in the public sector then they would look to the private sector so that it can be determined whether the equipment can be used to undertake the project at hand.When asked if the findings of the experts would be made public, Willis responded in the affirmative,Jae Crowder Jersey, but the Minister immediately intervened.“No, no, no, I don’t think we need to get into that,” said Benn, who proceeded to explain that if for example the equipment had 1200 working hours in the past and, “there is necessity for an engine change out or something, they could do that.”He added, “we will check to have a basis in terms of their performance…I don’t think it’s helpful to go down the road of perpetual suspicion in these matters…the equipment is here.”Benn said that, “The equipment has to be put to work or similar equipment or additional equipment has to do the work. It is in these types of construction activity that you either buy new equipment or source leased equipment, or when there is a big construction job to finish, other people take it up…. the important thing is you have the equipment,Cheap NFL Jerseys, you can change out engines to get the required hours and effort that they need on the job…I don’t want us to open a new can of worms about whether the equipment or its hours are necessarily compromised.”On the question of the fact that most of the equipment imported is already available in Guyana Benn told the reporter, “Sir, sir…it depends maybe on the pricing. If I could buy a bulk of equipment…I notice one contractor in Georgetown, one of our big ones went and bought all of the equipment at an auction somewhere in the US…you could go up in Kingston and see it…so don’t follow that line of reasoning. If I could get a bunch of equipment at a good price overseas and bring them up there is nothing which says I must buy it here as opposed to buying it in the US.”Willis did point out that contractually they could not instruct the contractor to buy or lease for a particular dealer given that, should something go wrong with the equipment sourced on the advice of government then it would be the government that would be blamed.**********************Mahdia police ranks still immobile For almost one month now, ranks stationed at the Mahdia Police Station remain immobile.According to a source in the area, up to yesterday, the lone vehicle used by the lawmen was still at a mechanic shop.This newspaper, however, has been informed that the business community has come forward to lend support.Kaieteur News was told that the community has offered to purchase a much needed part for the vehicle.However the police are now contemplating getting the vehicle out to Linden so that repair works can begin. “The vehicle as it is now cannot move from Mahdia so we have to first get a truck to load it onto to bring it out to Linden,NFL Jerseys China Cheap,” a source related.Almost a month ago the vehicle began developing mechanical problems subsequently rendering it immobile. The issue was raised by residents of the community who first noticed the vehicle parked at a workshop in the area. When contacted a police source told this newspaper that, since the vehicle was down, they have been seeking the assistance of the business community to move around since their All Terrain Vehicle was also not in working condition.Residents were concerned over the fact that the community is surrounded by mining grounds and the police have a very large area to cover.

ROSE HALL TOWN, CORENTYNE — The St. Francis Community Developers commissioned a $20 million administrative building last week. This structure is part of a $2.5 billion Community Empowerment Complex and Development Village. The site is located at J.C. Chandisingh Avenue in Rose Hall Town. Flavio Rose, Vice President of the St. Francis Community Developers, explained that this project, which is the largest of its kind in Berbice, is expected to train ordinary grass roots people for leadership roles in community development across Guyana, the Caribbean and the Commonwealth.The leaders of these groups are all ordinary persons who give unconditionally of their time and service.The club is working with 22 groups, known as Friends of St. Francis, to enable institutional strengthening and develop human resources. Three of the groups comprising the Friends of St. Francis received funding from UNICEF for their family projects. The Albion Chapel Library and Skills Training Centre at Fyrish got $3 million for the development of their play school and for the empowerment of single parents.The Mibicuri Community Developers received another $3 million for the purpose of providing support services for families affected by the impact of suicide in the family unit.FACT Community Developers at Corriverton received $3.1 million to upgrade their Orphans and Vulnerable Children project’s activities in the Upper Corentyne area. Some $13 million was given to the parent body — St. Francis Community Developers — for its Family Youth and Children at Risk Project.The donors, UNICEF, Food for the Poor Guyana, USAID/GHARP and CIDA, to name a few, usually request inter alia audited financial statements,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, expertise of staff, constitution of the organization, legal registration and organizational policy. To many of the grass roots organizations those requirements pose a challenge. “To us it was also a challenge, but the difference is we have most of what is required, the essentials, and our track record took us the rest of the distance.”The actual construction of the administrative block began in October 2007 and was completed earlier this month. The contract was awarded to Jainarine Ramoo, known as‘Brian,’of Rose Hall Town.The building belonged to the Hamid family of Hampshire, and was located at Fyrish Village. The wooden structure was huge and had to be transported to the location in three sections. It was then re-assembled, after which the necessary rehabilitation was carried out and the concrete bottom was constructed. This two-storey structure houses on the upper flat the offices of the President, Alex Foster, the USAID/GHARP funded projects which involve voluntary counselling and testing in relation to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, conference hall and domestic facilities.The lower level houses the UNICEF funded project, Family, Youth and Children at Risk, along with an Internet café, the Child Friendly Space and the Foster Care Umbrella Scheme (FOCUS) and other components.The Family Youth and Children at Risk project is a large project which is supported by a number of donors and well wishers. It has several modules, including the Child Friendly Spaces, Nutritional Enhancement Programme, Foster Care Umbrella Scheme, Counselling Psychosocial Support, Technical/Training Support Department, and the Housing Project. The Family Youth and Children at Risk project deals mainly with families in crisis, disadvantaged young people, and vulnerable children. It was launched in 2000 under the name Women and Children at Risk.There was also a sister project, dubbed Youth at Risk. After complaints by some of the male gender that the project was biased, the two were merged and renamed Family, Youth and Children at Risk. The entire Community Empowerment Complex and Development Village would sit on a 10-acre plot of land. According to Mr. Rose, the entire Community Empowerment Complex and Development Village would consist of 17 buildings, each offering various services to compliment each other, so as to provide a comprehensive community developmental experience and training.The structures are the administrative complex, technical/training support department,Pat Tillman Cardinals Throwback Jersey, skill training centre, dormitory,Cheap Jerseys From China, cabins, social life skill centre, convention centre, kitchen extraordinaire, marketing centre, two living quarters for families at risk and vulnerable persons, instruction centre, remedial institution, museum to trade the history of the St. Francis Community Developers and their 22 support groups, the musical development centre, the gymnasium and the research and development centre.These 17 buildings are to be put in use as they are constructed, but the entire complex should be fully operational within three years.Foundation work for the 110 by 40 foot two storied structure for the remedial school has already been completed. This leg of the project is funded by Food for the Poor Guyana and will house the remedial training centre, classrooms and a child friendly environment. President of the St. Francis Community Developers, Alex Foster, expressed gratitude to UNICEF for their faith in the club. “They trusted us and believed in our dream of establishing this general complex.Because of their trust, a number of other donors are now willingly coming on board to make this dream a reality. To them all, we say thank you.”He singled out Food for the Poor Guyana for their all round investment and support in the various activities and project, “Without this support, our programmes would not have been so successful in reaching the thousands of persons we are able to support.”The USAID/GHARP and the Commonwealth Youth Programme were also recognized for their support. The Department of Education also received plaudits for their collaborative efforts in ensuring that the school’s population would derive benefits from the various programmes of the Education Ministry.The remedial school is expected to open its doors for the new academic year in September. Registration for admission would commence in July. The entire institution will cater for 150 students. The remedial section will be situated on the upper floor and will deal with early school leavers. On the ground flat would be the pre-nursery group.He explained that the younger children — zero to five age group children — would receive early attention, since this is during this period that their faculties are being developed.According to him, his group has challenged themselves to raise on their own an additional $300 million in order to bring the Community Empowerment Complex and Development Village to the desired international standard. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Child Protection Officer of UNICEF, Doris Roos, offered kind words to the St. Francis Community Developers. “Alex and your staff, you did it! Congratulations.”Brief remarks were also made by UNCEF Representative Johannes Wedenig, Country Director, FHI & Chief of Party,Wholesale Jerseys Store, USAID/GHARP, Kwame Asiedu,jerseys nfl wholesale, Public Relations Officer of Food for the Poor Michelle Branker, and Region Six Education Officer Shafiran Bhajan.The programme was punctuated with musical interludes. Many were in awe when the talented 16-year-old Shamena Trinidad of Fyrish Village, who is visually impaired, did her rendition of Whitney Huston’s ‘Greatest Love.’Mr. Alex Foster spoke of the dedication and commitment of his members. He alluded to the fact that, in many instances, they go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure success. Sonja Sampson, Coordinator of the Albion Chapel Library and Skills Training Centre, said that her group launched its Protecting Children for the Future Project on May 9.Under this project, parents and children are to be empowered alike. At Fyrish, the Greater Glory Play School has 29 children on roll, many of whom are from single-parent families. These children are afforded an environment that is child-friendly while the parents are out making a dollar.This centre is opened from 07:30 to 18:30 hours Mondays through Fridays. Deborah Rambarran of the Mibicuri Community Developers pointed out that their centre would also offer an Internet café and training in information technology for residents of the four schemes comprising the Black Bush Polder.Annette Jaundoo of FACT Community Developers at Corriverton explained that her group was established to help persons in the fight against HIV/AIDS.Seven acres of land at Limlair are to be developed to assist single-parent families in that village.This is funded by Food for the Poor Guyana Limited and will entail a chicken farm and agricultural development. This comes on stream in December. Mr Foster said that there are 16 children on role at the Eversham Community Developers Day Care Centre. Come September, eight other play schools are to be commissioned by the 22 collaborating partners of St. Francis Community Developers. Together, these facilities would accommodate some 200 children from across the region.There are 52 Child Friendly Spaces in East Berbice, and one on the western side of the Berbice River .Mr. Foster also spoke of other achievements of his club and their support groups. One of the most outstanding accomplishments was the President of the Mibicuri Community Developers, Jacqueline Cummings-Johnson, holding the title of United Nations Population Fund Youth Ambassador for the English and Dutch speaking Caribbean. The nomination was made possible after she represented the St. Francis Community Developers in Jamaica in 2006.Mr. Foster noted,Cheap Jerseys China, “We are not only developing our physical facilities, but we are focusing also, with a concurring effort,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, on the development of our human resources to cope with emerging needs and challenges.”Earlier in the day, the delegation toured the locations to which their funding was given.
