– Donald Ramotar…reiterates that PPP is against all forms of tortureGeneral Secretary of the Peoples Progressive Party, Donald Ramotar, yesterday reiterated that his party was against all forms of torture.In an invited comment in relation to the brutal beating inflicted recently on Troy Small, allegedly at the hands of GDF ranks, Ramotar said that he was unaware of the intricate details of the situation and was only privy to what was available in the press.PPP's General Secretary Donald RamotarAs it relates to the charge by Leader of the Peoples National Congress Reform, Robert Corbin, that President Bharrat Jagdeo should take note of the current trial of the Former President of Liberia,Alex Anzalone Jersey, Charles Taylor, Ramotar said that, “Corbin seems to be losing his marbles.”He said that it was either that or a reflection of the current struggles within the PNCR, whereas his leadership is under challenge and he wanted to make a big noise/statement to rally his supporters.According to the PPP General Secretary, it is only an insane person that would seek to draw a reference between Guyana and Liberia, moreso Jagdeo and Taylor.Last Friday,WBC Jerseys 2017, Corbin reminded media operatives of the party’s advocacy that inquiries be held into the allegations of beatings and torturing of citizens by elements of the security forces.“We did so because we believe that respect for, and observance of the rule of law in a democracy,World Cup Jerseys, are the best means of safeguarding the rights of our citizens,Akiem Hicks Jersey,” said Corbin.He added that the calls resounded because the party seriously believes that unless allegations of torture were investigated and the perpetrators penalised,Duke Johnson Jersey, out-of-control elements of the security forces, allied to the political directorate, would continue to believe that they could beat and torture citizens with impunity.“It has all happened again.”Brutalised victim: Troy Small claims they beat him with a hammerHe noted that it is now widely reported that Troy Small, called “Cats”, has been badly beaten and tortured by elements of the security forces.“The circumstances surrounding this incident can best be described as obscene and emphasises once again, that this nation is undergoing a period of extended lawlessness.”According to information available to the PNCR, Corbin said, was that Small was kidnapped on Monday 20 last and taken to the cemetery where he was brutally tortured by elements of the Disciplined Forces.He reported that one police station refused to accept him when he was taken there after being so badly beaten but the Alberttown Police Station did.He said that reports suggest that Small was suspected of involvement in the fire, which destroyed the Ministry of Health, and it is evident that, like the case of David Zammet, elements of the security forces believe that the mere suspicion of some infraction of the law entitles them to engage in torture.“The legal principle that recognises that a citizen is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law has no meaning to some members of the political directorate and their willing and brutal henchmen in the security force. The PNCR reminds the Jagdeo Administration that torture is in violation of our Constitution and several international covenants to which Guyana is a signatory, such as the UN Convention Against Torture (CAT).”According to Corbin, that Convention stipulates that victims of torture are entitled to compensation and that Heads of State who are guilty of such acts can be brought to account.Robert Corbin“President Jagdeo should take note of the ongoing trial of the former Liberian President,Cheap Soccer Gear, Charles Taylor, who was similarly accused of crimes against humanity, but who years later has now been arrested and is being made to account for his alleged misdeeds. Once again,Clearance Hockey Jerseys, the Party calls on the Jagdeo Administration to initiate an immediate investigation into this latest act of torture against one of our citizens.”He added that, “these frequent abuses of the human rights of our citizens provide further evidence of the emerging tyranny, which is befalling the people of Guyana.”

…block site clearing equipment Morris Sookhoo, the man claiming ownership of the destroyed Barrack and High Streets property, and the remaining residents, yesterday morning got into a fierce showdown after the man attempted to clear out the property.A fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the building on Easter Monday, leaving approximately 70 persons including children homeless.Patricia Cornette, one of the many displaced residents still living at the site told Kaieteur News, said that it was around 7:30hrs when the bulldozer came accompanied by 30 men to remove them.Tarpaulins have been placed around a section of the property to protect those who remain there from the elements.According to Cornette, persons in the yard were attempting to remove some of the debris in the yard.“We deh cleaning up and we see de bulldozer come and ask we is where got to break up,Stitched Arizona Cardinals Jerseys,” Cornette told this publication.The woman told Kaieteur News that the driver for the bulldozer told the occupants that he was hired to clear the property.“De driver for the bulldozer said that is Mr Sookhoo hire he to clear off de land,Josh Perkins Jersey,” Cornette said.Cornette said that residents were surprised by this move, since according to court documents shown to this newspaper,Brad Kaaya Jersey, the occupants along with Sookhoo are expected to appear in front a High Court Judge on Monday.And tempers flared as Sookhoo attempted to gain entry into the compound. The occupants locked the gates.Mother of six Patricia Cornette, one of the many displaced residentsThis newspaper was told that one resident by the name of Nathan Ramascindo was arrested by the police after Sookhoo alleged that the man assaulted him with a cutlass.However the occupants are strongly denying this claim. According to Cornette, Ramascindo was merely standing in front of the gate to prevent Sookhoo from entering.“Nathan ain’t had no cutlass or anything in his hand…because he was going to work. So that’s a lie that he attacked anyone with a cutlass,” Cornette stated.Meanwhile occupants are adamant that the property does not belong to Sookhoo since documents showed that the owner is “unknown”.“He was paying the taxes because he want rights for the property….but he ain’t own nothing so he can’t put nobody out,” one occupant said.All the occupants yesterday said that they are still waiting on the Ministry of Housing for their house lots so that they could relocate.“Is nah because we want live like this…Is genuinely because we ain’t got nowhere to go,” said an occupant.Since the Easter Monday fire, victims have received tremendous support from the business society among others.Twenty of those persons were given the option to stay at the Guyana Relief Council (GRC) Lot X West of Public Road, Ruimveldt until the end of May 2011.GRC assisted 37 persons (20 adults,Byron Scott Jersey, 10 children and seven babies). Nineteen elected to stay at the facility.According to GRC,Benson Mayowa Jersey, the council will constantly review the situation of these persons and is willing to further extend their stay as long as it is financially viable to do so.The Council further informs that its Temporary Shelter, which is at no cost to the residents,Axel Andersson Jersey, can accommodate a maximum of 100 persons at any one time and this facility was offered to all the persons affected by the fire.Only 20 persons, among them babies and children, opted to accept the offer.The Council also assisted in outfitting the school aged children with school uniforms to ensure their return to school.In addition, the victims are supplied with all the basic amenities such as toiletries, janitorial supplies, clothing, footwear and baby items to aid them with the rehabilitation of their lives and finding alternative permanent accommodation.DIGICEL (Guyana) had assisted with $500,000 in the form of toiletries, bottles of water, clothing, school supplies and cellular phones.Leader of the Alliance for Change, Raphael Trotman, and several executive members had visited the Kingston fire victims and had handed over numerous boxes of clothing and toys.Eric Phillips, of the African Cultural and Development Association (ACDA), Mings Products and Services Chief Executive Officer, Stanley Ming, The Benschop Foundation and many other persons also assisted.Findings revealed that someone was cooking in one of the 26 rooms and might have forgotten the lighted kerosene stove and ventured outside, which later caused the building to be engulfed by flames.The building which many call still call homeFire Chief Marlon Gentle had previously told reporters that the building was earmarked for demolition since 2007.According to Gentle, the City Engineer’s Department had also encountered difficulties getting the occupants out of the building,Authentic MLB Jerseys, even though it was deemed unsafe.

– Opposition Leader Opposition Leader David Granger said that the matter of public safety does not rest solely with the people of Guyana; it is a matter for those who were appointed to ensure the safety of Guyanese. Granger was responding in an invited comment to this newspaper on the advice given by Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell when he met with members of the West Coast Demerara community of Meter-Meer-Zorg, following a spate of criminal activities that took place there within a matter of days.Brumell had urged the residents not to hide and remain fearful, but to defend their families and the merchandise that they had worked so hard to attain. He urged too that licensed firearm holders should also look out for their neighbours,Babe Ruth Jersey, adding that reports can be made against licensed firearm holders who might refuse to intervene in a matter despite their neighbour being in danger.Opposition Leader David GrangerGranger told Kaieteur News that he is not keen on the idea of citizens putting themselves in harm’s way. The Opposition Leader said that there are many mechanisms that the government refuses to put in place to manage the escalation of crime and to strengthen the agencies tasked with fighting it.He said that, “Public security has become a serious problem over the years because the People Progressive Party’s (PPP) administration does not show any interest in reforming the Guyana Police Force along the lines that it has been advised. We’ve had about a dozen interventions by the British government and which cumulated to the security reform action plan which the Guyana government refuses to implement. We’ve had a security situation where the National Drugs Strategy master plan has not been implemented.”Granger continued that another intervention was a report of the Disciplined Forces Commission; but that too has not been implemented. “The government refuses to take reasonable steps to prevent crime and that is why it is so rampant. So the matter raised by the Commissioner of Police completely misses the mark because what is needed is proper Ministerial direction, the implementation of proper security sector reform plans,Stitched Carolina Panthers Jerseys, the implementation of drugs strategy master plan, the retraining of police officers,Killian Tillie Jersey, and the re-equipping of the Police Force.”Granger said that unless the government takes meaningful steps towards ensuring the safety of citizens,Antonio Brown Jersey, security will always be a matter of grave concern.A little over two weeks ago, the son of a high ranking member of the Central Islamic Organisation Guyana (CIOG) was gunned down by a gang of criminals during a robbery at his home at Meten-Meer-Zorg. A few days later,David Robinson Jersey, persons believed to be from the said gang of criminals were involved in a shootout with policemen, resulting in the death of one of the gang members. They were allegedly planning another robbery in the community. The gang was however said to be dismantled and several persons are currently before the court charged with murder.This turn of events had left the usually quiet,Argentina National Soccer Team Jerseys, farming community in a state of shock and overwhelming fear; to which the Top Cop felt he should make an appearance to tell community members personally that they were once again safe and the police had not abandoned them.But apart from that assurance,Cheap Soccer Gear, the Top Cop told the West Coast residents they should fight back and that they should “take back their communities from these criminals.”

Minister of Finance, Ashni Singh addresses the National Assembly– loan size not disclosedThe Guyana Government and China Development Bank yesterday signed off on a loan deal that will pave the way to start Guyana’s single largest project ever, the Amaila Falls Hydro-Electric Project (AFHEP).Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, yesterday during a sitting of the National Assembly yesterday, described the signing as “historic.”He was at the time utilizing the opportunity to disclose that President Bharrat Jagdeo witnessed the signing of a framework agreement between the parties of the project which the developer, Sithe Global, has pegged at US$650M.Specific details of the agreement such as the exact amount of money involved are yet to be disclosed.The President, had travelled from a United Nations climate forum in New York, to join the team led by Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Manniram Prashad,Byron Scott Jersey, for the meeting with the China Development Bank and Sithe Global.Head of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited, Privatisation Chief and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL),Arthur Moats Jersey, Winston Brassington, had travelled to China last week to set up the meeting.According to Dr Singh,Andrew Benintendi Jersey, the signing will formalize the cooperation between GPL, Sithe Global Amaila Holdings Limited, China Development Bank and China Railway First Group Company Limited.While Minister Singh did not mention any details including the amount of the loan, he revealed that the agreement clearly sets out the parties’ intent to bring financial closure within 12 months, or “ideally…sooner”.Already for this project, the Guyana government has committed between US$40M to US$60M of the Norway/Guyana climate fund for the AFHEP.According to Dr. Singh, the signing of the agreement is a truly historic moment especially with the project tagged as the country’s biggest infrastructure investment ever.Not only will it give value to Guyana’s economy by the provision of cheaper electricity, it will reduce Guyana’s 100 per cent dependency on fossil fuel for electricity generation to 100 per cent clean electricity, according to Dr Singh.After 20 years, the project will be transferred to Guyana at “0” dollars, given that it is a Build Own Operate Transfer (BOOT) project.According to the Minister, the project would take up only 0.001% of the state forest.The Guyana government, he stressed, is fully committed to ensure that the project complies with both national and international social and environmental safeguards.Last week, Jagdeo said that the project sponsor, Sithe Global has to deal with the financial closure of the project.“Basically Sithe has to deal with this…the government of Guyana is not contracting a loan and is putting up minimal equity in the project at this stage,” Jagdeo told Kaieteur News in Montego Bay,Adam Oates Jersey, Jamaica where he was attending a Heads of Government Meeting of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).Sithe Global has put the price of the project at US$650 million, but the government has also spoken about the cost of the project being at least US$150 million less than that.According to Rafael Herz, the Sithe Global Project Manager for Amaila Falls Hydropower Project, “The total cost of the dam, powerhouse, transmission line, and substations is estimated at US$650M (including an estimated US$190M for the transmission line and other supporting infrastructure).”Sithe Global had said that it will ultimately contribute US$150 million of the equity.The comapny had also claimed to have already spent in excess of US$5M on the development of the project.President Jagdeo told Kaieteur News that the company is spending over US$1 million to do an environmental impact assessment on the clearing for a road and the hydro power project itself.“Work is being done on all the agreements so they would have financial closure before the end of the year,” Jagdeo stated.“Hopefully by that time the road would have progressed to a point where they can start quickly,” he added.Jagdeo had expressed fears about the company sitting on US$450-US$500 million, while interest builds up, waiting on the access road to be completed to start the actual hydropower project.Sithe Global which is a subsidiary of Blakstone Group is currently building one of the most controversial hydro power plants in the world namely the Bujugali Plant in Uganda, Africa.Scrutiny of the only Hydro Electric Project that the company which was formed in 2004, namely the Bujagali Project has revealed that it is a nightmare for Uganda.According to the Bank Information Centre, “A Ugandan government document projects that the 250 MW Bujagali hydroelectric power station under construction on the Nile River in Uganda will in fact raise power costs despite claims by the project sponsor,Anthony Tolliver Jersey, Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), that power tariffs would decrease once Bujagali becomes operational….With a price tag of $860 million and climbing on news that unforeseen engineering challenges will further delay the project,David Robinson Jersey, Bujagali is now among the most expensive hydropower plants in the world.”The project had been originally slated to cost some US$530M.There are reports that there has been protest over the dam as well as complaints that the project was not subjected to competitive bidding, and that locals will anyway not be able to afford the electricity it produces.International groups who have been lobbying for a full and fair review of Uganda’s energy options point out that Bujagali is unlikely to meet the needs of the 95 per cent of Ugandans who live far from the national grid and have never benefited from modern energy services.Sithe Global has two projects under construction, namely the controversial Bujagali Hydroelectric in Uganda, and the Mariveles Station which is a 600 MW station on the Bataan Peninsula,Authentic MLB Jerseys, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.The Mariveles project, according to the company “will consist of two identical 300 MW power blocks using proven Pulverized Coal Combustion technology.”Apart from the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project the company has several projects as, “In Development” and notably none of them are Hydroelectric Projects.Synergy Holdings Incorporated whose President is Makeshwar ‘Fip’ Motilall has already secured the road project.That project is already little behind schedule with the first batch of equipment slated to arrive on July 21 with some 35 pieces of equipment.Most of the Preliminary Designs have been submitted and are currently being reviewed.The contract is for the upgrade of approximately 85 kilometers of existing roadway and the design and construction of approximately 110 kilometers of new road.The works also include building bridges across the Essequibo and Kuribrong rivers. In addition, the contract takes into account clearing the way for the installation of a 65-kilometre transmission line.The Amaila Falls hydro-project is expected to supply 150 megawatts of electricity.The Amaila storage dam site would be located near the top of Amaila Falls and would impoundthe waters of both the Kuribrong and Amaila Rivers.

Included among these are the history and present day operations of the bauxite industry, quarry mining and even natural gas and oil exploration in Guyana.The exhibition affords those attending a comprehensive view of the mining sector in the country by also providing updated statistics of mineral production.With the introduction of the 1989 Mining Act, enforced in 1991, the mining industry was re-organised into three scales of mining; large-scale – with concessions of twenty thousand four hundred acres per licence, medium-scale, constituting twelve hundred acres per permit and small-scale claims of four hundred acres.This Act also made provision for the category of river claims to come into force.Mining today is carried out using highly mechanized machinery and tools, with the bigger companies even adapting to cyanide operations.But for the year 2007,Clearance Hockey Jerseys, the medium and small-scale facilities still accounted for 64 percent of all mineral production with large operators contributing 32 percent. Quarries achieved the additional 4 percent.The exhibition in the ‘tunnel’,Babe Ruth Jersey, a specially constructed horseshoe-shaped building on the lawns of the Girl Guides Association concludes today.

“The most powerful thing we own is our vote. Want our vote? Address our issues!” this is the theme under which Guyanese Women Roundtable (GWR) plans to capture the attention of political parties contesting the upcoming May 11 General and Regional elections.GWR operates as an inter-generational non-partisan civic engagement network, coordinated through CPIC Monique Helping Hands Support Centre. It has teamed up with Guyana National Youth Council (GNYC) and Merundoi in order to effectively convey the importance of voting to the Guyanese public, especially women.The organisation decided to target women upon realising that females are oftentimes painted as the weaker sex, and the fact that society has been seeing an upsurge in violence against women.GWR member, Dawn Stewart lamented, that in addition to all the challenges facing women in society, there is reluctance amongst females to exercise their civic right to vote, and to play influential roles in the political arena.She explained that the organisation carried out a series of interviews and surveys involving 250 women from Georgetown to as far as Mahaicony, and discovered that the main reason behind women’s reluctance to vote,Stitched Atlanta Falcons Jerseys, was the fact that they honestly believed that their current predicament will go unchanged.She said, women from one community declared that they were distancing themselves from the political process. This was their decision because they are of the opinion that elected officials had willingly overlooked the value of women, and ignored the amount of women that were killed.In addition , Dr. Stewart reported that one woman said she would not be voting because, “parliament has 33% women… but they might as well say zero per cent… because they do nothing for us… we need more women, and right now,Authentic MLB Jerseys, I’m not gonna be involved because it’s not gonna change with those old men on top.”Dr. Stewart responded to this particular issue by stating,Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys, “We need more women involved in politics, but involved in the right way. It is not enough just to be involved in politics as a political figure, but as a symbol of strength of women. We need to remain positive in order to make changes that are necessary.”“It is not a matter of how many women ministers we have in the government,Antoine Bethea Jersey, and how many are MPs, it’s a matter of how effective these women are. Whether in government,Babe Ruth Jersey, parliament, businesses, NGOs and so on… how effective we are, depends on how clearly, and how correctly we can judge the needs of our kind, the needs of our country, and the needs of our people.”Dr. Stewart explained further, that in order to tap into the minds of women, GWR had to adopt a strategy where they brought each of the women’s individual concerns into perspective, and broke it up into more relatable terms.“So we in turn had to ask someone, “are you a vendor? Do you want a better market? Voting can give you a better market!”“In effect,Kevin Love Jersey, the women were informed that their civic duty does not end at voting, but ventures into the understanding that the people have the power to change the direction in which the country is headed.”In seeing that their collective vision becomes a success, GWR has made provision for a series of pre and post- election activities to be carried out. Pre-election activities include, weekly workshops, community voting education outreaches in at least four regions, distribution of both voter education and pledge cards, and forums with election candidates, beginning as early as the first week in April.After a political body has been elected to serve Guyana,Wholesale MLB Jerseys, GWR plans on arranging a system where they are able to meet with Members of Parliament, re-evaluate projects, and continue education of civic participation and empowerment of women.
