A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) Shadow Minister of Finance Carl Greenidge has described the President Donald Ramotar’s boast that the economy grew by 25 percent, as far from the truth and an insult to the intelligence of the citizenry.He was referring to statements made by the head of state in his new year’s address to the nation.President Donald Ramotar“Ramotar says these things not because he is daft, but because he honestly feels as though the electorate is foolish enough to swallow it without question,Air Max 97 White,” he added.Ramotar had declared that 2014 saw Guyana growing economically for the ninth successive year. This, the President had said is the longest period of continuous economic growth in the country’s recent history.“It is even more noteworthy that this growth was achieved in the most testing of circumstances. Over just the two and a half years to mid-year 2014, the size of our economy has increased by 25 percent to $650 billion, our country has attracted more than US$629 million in foreign direct investment, credit to the private sector has grown by 41.5 percent to $190.5 billion, and total deposits in the commercial banks has grown by 22.1 percent to $334.6 billion,Nike Vapormax Plus Womens,” he had added.Carl Greenidge, APNU Shadow Minister of FinanceHowever,Jordan Sneakers For Sale, Greenidge disagreed stating that if national income has increased at anything like the rate Ramotar claims, then, “how can he stomach the increases in the emoluments and pension which the former President Bharrat Jagdeo has paid himself over that period and he will soon enjoy,Nike Air Max 97 Silver Bullet Australia, meanwhile he only paid public servants a measly 10 percent. Such lopsided sharing of the benefits of growth explains why Plastic City and Angoys Avenue are growing faster than the rate of growth of the real economy.”The APNU Shadow Finance Minister said that growth is meaningless if it does not enhance or improve the welfare and wellbeing of citizens. With all this growth and construction taking place as Ramotar claims,2018 Nike Vapor Max Plus, Greenidge said that the PPP Government is unable to make meaningful contributions to health projects that are in critical need of funding.He then alluded to the shocking news of maternal deaths involving young mothers and their babies in the process of child birth, which was featured recently in the newspapers. Yet, he said, the President speaks glowingly of the health sector.Greenidge said that the biggest burdens in the budgets of poor households are housing, food,Cheap Adidas Superstar Shoes, transport and medical bills.He said that gas prices feature large in most of these. Yet,Cheap Air Max 90 Shoes, when international petroleum prices have fallen from the 2011 peaks of $120-140 to as low as $68 a barrel, the Government wants to continue to pressure the nation.“I strongly suspect that this is so because they want to continue raking in the big dollars to spend money to pay Jagdeo’s unlimited benefits…It is the poor who carry that burden. But the extra money is not spent on better medical facilities but rather on fuelling the lives of Jagdeo’s family and friends…But Ramotar says the economy has grown by 25 percent. Who and where are ‘all the people’ he claims have benefitted by that much? Even processed food and takeaways attract VAT. But Chinese shops and a few others manage to be exempt from taxes. Only last week business mogul Sattaur Gafoor pointed out the consequences of that situation for the profits of his firm Gafsons Industries Limited. Who is the President looking at?” Greenidge questioned.The former finance minister then mentioned that Ramotar spoke about the country making commendable strides despite some important revenue earners like gold, sugar and rice were faced with many difficulties.Greenidge however opined that many of the problems facing the local industries have been compounded by the corrupt practices of the Government. The politician said that the country has wasted money on several major investments such as the Skeldon Sugar factory which is currently performing poorly.The financial point man said that the economy today is far less diversified than it was 30 years ago when there was also a manufacturing sector outside of sugar processing. He said that the apparent growth is more a product of the drug trade and money laundering than of any fundamental improvement in the structure of the economy.Ramotar had also touched on the housing sector, pointing to new communities that have emerged and tens of thousands of Guyanese families that have realized their dreams of home ownership.Greenidge then posited “Guyana is the only country in the world where more houses are being built than the number of families in the country. With current unemployment levels in excess of 22 percent and with a minimum wage of less than $50,000/month, house lots starting at $750,000 and $1M per lot with no infrastructure to speak of, is a joke.”Greenidge emphasized that a real programme needs to move beyond house lot distribution. Although mortgage relief is available to some of the better off, he said that a young teacher on their salary alone would be unable to build a house on the $1M house lot even after 10 years of work.He said that in a country where land is abundant, such land prices are astonishing especially since the PPP makes land available to its foreign cronies from China and the Caribbean in particular, free of charge or at pepper corn prices.The APNU Parliamentarian said that the government is more concerned with helping its cronies get rich by giving them state lands cheaply and licensing them to parcel out and sell the land to the poor at exorbitant prices.The President had also stated that the nation is improving and it is advancing in the social sector. Greenidge found this to be an unfortunate statement and one that paints a picture that is far from the truth.“When you seriously reflect on the street children, the beggars, the mentally ill and destitute, certain players in the various sectors responsible for contributing to Guyana generating one of the highest rates of corruption in the region, then take into account the high rates of suicides and migration of educated citizens, it really is an entirely different picture from that marvelous fairy tale painted by Ramotar,” Greenidge concluded.

…as EPI Managers conveneThe Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) 31st Managers Meeting began yesterday at the Guyana Marriott Hotel and will see discussions on universal vaccination coverage and analysis of member countries’ 2015 achievements.The meeting is being held in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), Guyana Family Gender and Life Course Department, and the Comprehensive Family Immunization Unit. There are participants from 29 countries, inclusive of the United States and representatives from PAHO/WHO region office in Washington D.C., along with officials from the Public Health Ministry.During the four days, participants will deliberate on issues of universal vaccination coverage, progress of measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) elimination, sustaining polio eradication, maternal immunization, data quality, cold chain and programme management,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, new vaccines and programme activities and experiences.Public Health Minister George Norton, in his feature address at the opening ceremony, said his ministry’s renewed intention to the promotion to primary health care, and a need for higher level of participation from the communities in areas of health, has changed the ministry’s outlook, and turned its focus to building capacity at the primary health care level.“What is important to this country and its health care system is a sound primary health care system and this is precisely why there was a name change of the Ministry,” he said,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, adding that with a focus on advancing equity and universal access and coverage of health care “our mission is that all Guyanese, from both hinterland and coastal communities, have access to free, equitable and quality health care”.With a close eye on this mission, Norton said the Ministry must examine the maternal and child health programme, and by extension the expanded programme of immunization. He said the EPI is one of Guyana’s most successful programmes with coverage of 90%. Nevertheless, he indicated that there is still more work to be done.Currently, the EPI Guyana programme provides protection from 16 antigens. Norton noted that 2% out of 10% of the monies allocated to the Public Health Ministry goes to the immunization programme, and he would like to see more money poured into it, in order for them to achieve 100% coverage.PAHO/WHO Country Representative Dr William Adu- Krow said the EPI is considered a top priority and was not a “talk show” but a meeting where goals are made and achieved.“EPI Managers meeting is not a talk show it is a lot of work,” he stated, adding that each year every country is expected to submit a report on their achievements.“In immunization Guyana is doing very well…,” he said, adding that there was an evaluation done in effective vaccination management in 74 countries of the world, and Guyana was ranked third. “…and that is because workers are working hard”.He explained that the EPI focuses on a number of infectious diseases which are preventable e.g. measles, paralytic poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus and tuberculosis. “These diseases were selected because they could be prevented by immunization and had high global occurrences rates with corresponding morbidities disabilities and mortalities,” he said.He said further that Polio Transmission remains a challenged area globally and in this effort, the WHO Assembly endorsed the Polio Endgame strategy. He said during April-May 2016,Cheap Sports Jerseys, all countries will be involved in the switch from Trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) to Bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV) as an effort to stop the circulation of the wild polio virus.According to information from PAHO/WHO,Cheap Football Jerseys, the countries have continued to improve their EPI coverage with an average of 94 per cent coverage in 2013 for all the antigens reported (BCG, DTP, Polio, Hib, HepB and MMR1). But, MMR 2 coverage was 84 per cent.Surveillance for measles,Cheap Jerseys, rubella continue to be strengthened with achievement of more than 80 per cent for all fever and rash indicators, except timely submission of samples to the reference laboratory. However, the need for improved surveillance for polio acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance was observed.“In September 2015, PAHO/WHO, Guyana, provided support in the introduction of IPV vaccines to infants at two months. This is in keeping with the plan of the Polio Endgame strategy. EPI Guyana has had success with its Immunization Programme over the last decade. This has come about with the strategies used to combat preventable diseases in children,” Adu-Krow said.The Programme started to vaccinate against six diseases and in 2012, additional antigens against the following diseases, yellow fever,Wholesale China Jerseys, hepatitis B, mumps, haemophilus influenza, rubella,Cheap Jerseys, rotavirus, and pneumococcal, meningococcal and human papiloma virus were introduced. At the end of 2014, the programme had provided additional protection against 16 vaccine preventable diseases.However, Adu-Krow said challenges still remain in the areas of transportation, cold chain (a temperature-controlled supply chain) and access to remote hinterland areas.

An enormous sum is required to manage institutions such as the University of Guyana (UG). This assertion was recently amplified by Kaieteur News columnist,Wholesale Jerseys, Frederick Kissoon,Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic, during an interview.Former UG lecturer, Frederick KissoonKissoon, a former UG lecturer, has weighed-in on recent reports that the university has been embracing unprecedented moves to solicit much needed funds.Reports suggest that a 14-member team of the tertiary institution recently travelled overseas to reach out to Guyanese in the Diaspora in a fundraising quest. It is alleged that the funds spent to facilitate this trip far outweighed what was garnered.Kissoon has regarded the recent trip as “inelegant and shapeless.”“First of all, the Guyanese Diaspora is too financially weak…the total global Diaspora of Guyanese is too financially weak to contribute to any foreign money that would significantly impact Guyana,” said Kissoon.The most fitting help that the Guyanese Diaspora can offer is in the areas of skills and not money,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, he added. “We don’t have very, very rich Guyanese out there…one and two have made it but by comparative standards they cannot fork out a US$1 million and give it to UG. The simple fact is that Guyanese have done well with skills and high class jobs but not in the area of entrepreneurial wealth,” the former lecturer asserted.He is of the firm view that “if you are taking 14 people to the Guyanese Diaspora you cannot realise the kind of money UG needs like that.”Raising money for UG, Kissoon has determined,Wholesale NBA Jerseys, requires what he calls a “two-pronged attack”.And this tactic, according to him, calls for the involvement of not only the Vice Chancellor (VC) of the University, Professor Ivelaw Griffith, but even Head of State, President David Granger. “Those are very, very high level people to whom rich and wealthy humanitarians will listen and it has to be a ‘one to one’ dialogue. The Vice Chancellor or the President can even engage a very wealthy institute that gives money for education,” asserted Kissoon.He stressed the need for the involvement of the two officials. He shared his belief that the appointment of a Deputy Vice Chancellor to deal with international engagements would not suffice.“Those (humanitarians) aren’t going to sit down with a Deputy Vice Chancellor to discuss giving their money; they want to at least see the Minister of Education for this country and they want to see the Vice Chancellor in that room negotiating with them,” said Kissoon.He summed up that if Professor Griffith hopes to raise substantial funds for the university he would have to start by reaching out to Government.“What the VC needs to do is have engagements with Cabinet about who in the Government will partner him for an assault on the international lending community and private funding agencies,” said Kissoon,Cheap NFL Jerseys, as he considered that a US$1million could easily be utilised in two laboratories of the university.There are however some individuals who are of the view that the local private sector could play a major role in helping with the development of the university. But Kissoon shared his belief that “the private sector has serious reservations about UG and how it has been managed for the past 20 years. They are very skeptical about pouring money into an institution that they feel hasn’t got vision and leadership.”While Kissoon does not condemn this mindset of the private sector,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, he said, “I don’t know about Professor Griffith and therefore, I don’t want to condemn him, but all the VCs that went by and the type of Councils we have had they were not impressive enough to get the local private sector to put (significant) money into UG.”Kissoon has also speculated that any forthcoming support from the private sector may not be directed towards the overall benefit of the university.“They would want to see the university excel in marketing, in business and in scientific areas like sea defence and agriculture…” said Kissoon as he considered that financial support from the University may not be nearly enough to achieve the goals that UG is aiming to realise.“The Vice Chancellor alone has targeted about $6 billion from the treasury and that is a modest sum. You can’t run a hospital or a national university with top class equipment with $1million from the private sector…those are two areas of national life in a country that call for enormous resources,” Kissoon emphasised.The University is looking to Government for in excess of $5 billion in the new financial year to support its plans which include the spending of $3 billion for recurrent expenditure and $2.2 billion for capital works.Among the priorities of the administration are increased salaries for academic and non-academic staff, the provision of basic supplies and facilities that have been undermining efficiency and morale for years, campus security,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, and improving several of the facilities that negatively impact health and safety as well as security.But Kissoon has asserted that the University should first address its “topsy-turvy” administration structure and look to Government to help its fundraising efforts. He has highlighted that the current administration of the university is overstaffed when the university student and employee populations are taken into consideration.

– Region 10 IMC ChairmanBy Jacquey BourneThe current rates and taxes receivable in the Mining town of Linden cannot suffice for the work of the Town Council, which has a burgeoning housing programme currently ongoing.In this regard, Interim Management Committee (IMC) Chairman Orrin Gordon has highlighted the need for rates and taxes to be increased.In an interview, Gordon disclosed, “We have said before that the rates and taxes that had been charged in the community are definitely too low; and because it is that low, it means it is having an impact on the (IMC’s) ability to carry out those functions for the municipality, those statutory functions. In addition to that, the community has grown in size; and because it has grown in size, it means that the amount of work that is required has increased.”Making a pitch on the functions of the council in light of this proposed increase in the town, Gordon indicated “Therefore patching of roads and all of that. We have added, along with Central Amelia’s Ward, Block 22 and Blueberry Hill and all those places — which is nearly 100 km of road has been added in Linden,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, there is need for constant attention.This is because the quality of work that had been done from the inception, that quality of work had not been to the best. So, because it had not been to the best, what has happened is that you have a situation whereby you might repair today or do some patchwork this year, next year you have got to come back again and do some more patchwork, because of the quality of work that has been done.”The IMC Chairman feels that if this situation is not addressed the town will decline.“We have that situation confronting us,Wholesale Jerseys China, and we have had to deal with it,Wholesale Jerseys China, and will continue to do so. So we said valuation and continued valuation — that is one thing we have to do. That stage with the valuation process is where we have gone in the direction whereby we have gone to find a valuator. We decided we are going to pay the valuator, because we know when we get back those taxes it will compensate our efforts.”Region 10 IMC ChairmanGordon remarked that the previous Minister rejected that step taken, and they went in a direction that took over seven to eight months to happen. According to Gordon there is a serious problem,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, and he believes the Valuation Division should go under the Ministry of Communities rather than stay under the Ministry of Finance,China Jerseys Cheap, because it relates more to the Ministry of Communities. He said it is so because all the buildings and infrastructure that they will have to do valuation for basically would have been under the Ministry of Communities – which also takes care of rates and taxes – and not the Valuation Department.He claimed there is another scenario whereby there is an arrangement which has been taken over by the Minister of Local Government.The Municipal Act says that the Minister of Local Government supports the activities of the municipality, but not dictates and controls.“What happened is that the Ministry, from 2007,Jerseys NFL Wholesale China, had been deciding who is going to sign our accounts; and we can’t do that, because that is what they want — a way to decide who will sign on the account. It even got so ridiculous whereby the Minister decides only the Town Clerk and the acting Treasurer can deposit monies for the council.”The IMC Chairman maintained: “I know anybody can deposit,Wholesale Jerseys, but it is only by cheque you can withdraw money, and there are systems that are in place for that. So why would you do that? It is because we had threatened to go and open the Toll Booth.”
