– in talks with Govt. on development of new investment modelAs the new administration works out just how it will deal with the government agency GO-Invest,Cheap Jerseys USA, it appears that the body will be the only one to deal with the country’s investments.This is according to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GO-Invest, Keith Burrowes,China Jerseys Free Shipping, who made the announcement during a meeting with members of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) on Monday.During a round of questioning with the media, Burrowes indicated that he had met with new Minister of Business and Investment, Dominic Gaskin. During the meeting, he said, Gaskin had shared the Government’s expectations of GO-Invest. He said too that there are changes that are already being planned.One of these changes, Burrowes said, was making GO-Invest the sole investment agency in Guyana.“One of those changes is that GO-Invest is expected to become the only organisation or agency dealing with investment,” Burrowes said. He added that Minister Gaskin will expand upon this new initiative.“The last discussion I’ve had with Minister [Gaskin],Jerseys From China Online, he had indicated that it should be before the third quarter,” he added.Burrowes further said that, if the decision is formalized,cheap jerseys cc, it would place a lot of pressure on GO-Invest. However, he said, he has no problem with any such arrangement.CEO of GO-Invest, Keith Burrowe7According to Burrowes, the agency is already undergoing “revamping”. This revamping had been ongoing even before the new Government had been instituted, he clarified.Meanwhile, Burrowes indicated that GO-Invest is looking at several models of investment to implement in the agency. He said that discussions will eventually take place with the PSC before any such model is adopted. He emphasised that the model will be different from others which currently exist and will be created with Guyana’s specific needs in mind.He further outlined specific areas which will be under review as GO-Invest moves forward with a new investment model.“The two main areas that we will be focusing a lot on is our monitoring of these concessions that are usually given to private sector entities. We are going to be monitoring them on an ongoing basis to ensure that the concessions are used for the reason that it was established for,” he explained.The other area, he continued, would be the establishment of a partnership between the public and private sectors.“We’re hoping that even in terms of the investors coming in, that’s something we’ll want to look at to see if we can have not only the concessions given to the investors, but have a more long-term public/private partnership,” Burrowes said.He emphasised that once all of the proposals are formally approved by the Government they will be made public.Meanwhile, Burrowes also indicated that the establishment of a database which would capture all of the investments coming into Guyana, regardless of which agency it was tied to, had also been put forward to Minister Gaskin. Further, he said, while this proposal had been previously approved it was never implemented. He said that once the decision approval comes from Gaskin, this database can begin almost immediately.“My engagement with the current Minister has been extremely fruitful; I believe that the sector is in very good hands now,” Burrowes said.On previous occasions, Burrowes had indicated that GO-Invest only handled a limited number of the investments coming into Guyana. During Monday’s session,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, he once more reiterated this, and said that the investments which GO-Invest had previously handled had not been the crucial areas of investment.With the new decision of GO-Invest being the sole investment agency, the body will have responsibility for sectors, such as the extractive industries, which had previously been handled by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

By Dwijendra RooplallThe Social Sector Committee of the National Assembly, which comprises nine persons divided among the political parties,Cheap MLB Jerseys, has met and will be holding ongoing discussions with different policy stakeholders to address the prevention and legal framework of noise nuisance.The meeting that was held in the National Assembly was slated to have submissions from the PermanentAFC MP Valerie LoweSecretary of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the city engineer of the Mayor and City Council (M&CC), the Chief Fire Officer of the Guyana Fire Service and the Chief Works Officer of the Ministry of Public Works and Communication, however, only Fire Chief Marlon Gentle? and City Engineer Colvern Venture, representing their respective associates, were present at the forum to discuss the prevention of noise nuisance in society and the interpretation of the Music and Dancing Licensing Act Chapter 23:03.With only the presence of the two officials, the discussions and questions posed by the members of the Social Sector Committee were for the most part left unanswered or shifted to the entities that were not present at the forum, such as the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA). However the Committee recognized that this was the beginning of the dialogue and expressed optimism that once the policy entities that were mentioned are involved, then meaningful results could be ascertained with respect to the prevention of noise nuisance.The Chairperson of the meeting,Cheap Jerseys From China, People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Member of Parliament Indra Chandarpal said that as a result of various complaints received from the public, they have put on the agenda for discussion the whole question of noise nuisance.She said that there was a related discourse before but further communication is imperative with the necessary stakeholders.“We want to revisit the old laws that we have to make some proposals and make some changes. We feel that it is necessary at this point in our country’s history because we are mindful of the fact that all the regions in Guyana have this problem, and more and more people are crying out because they are unable to have peace and quiet in their home, and we see this as a violation of their own rights to live in their home in peace and comfort and free from noise nuisance. And we also believe that the whole question of noise nuisance today is a health hazard and therefore we want to begin the discourse and thought the best place to start is within our Social Sector Committee that is made up of all the parties in Parliament,” said Chandarpal.APNU MPVolda LawrenceThe Chairperson expressed everything that is done in the committee is based on discourse and consensus. No votes are required.Fire Chief Marlon Gentle speaking on his responsibility in terms of the Music and Dancing Act explained that the Chief Fire Officer issues a certificate for a building and that certificate will highlight how fire-safe that particular building is determined to be.“As the Act will say, the Chief Fire Officer will issue a certificate as to the general fire safety conditions of the premises whether he is satisfied that all fire precautions have been met and secondly that there is enough means of escape for persons to safely use this premises and exit in the case of an emergency, and that is legally where the role of the fire service comes into play.”However, upon hearing this, the chairperson expressed that the procedure that the Fire Chief expounded upon is not happening in reality. She said that she knows situations where parties and very loud playing of music happens anywhere. She said that while it is desirable to follow the rules in this case it’s not being observed.The M&CC City Engineer mentioned section 14 of the Music and Dancing Licensing Act and articulated the procedure in which the engineers would inspect certain premises to see whether or not they are fit for entertainment. He said that the building inspectors would inspect regularly in the case of a Bar-b-Que and Lime and do a yearly inspection for established buildings and check the “structural soundness” of the said building. Checks are also done to see whether internal arrangements are in place, such as toilets, to see if the building can be used for the intended activity. He said that persons will have to apply to the city engineer to show a plan for the M&CC to determine whether a party could be entertained.The Fire Chief expressed that beyond the parties, the industrial and manufacturing activity has a part to play in noise nuisance. “Zoning laws should be there to protect the process,” Venture said.Gentle said that there is a need to revisit all of the laws and look at more scientific method of dealing with noise. He endorsed that focus needs to be placed on zoning and legislation.Speaking on the dec

By Gary EleazarFinance Minister Dr Ashni Singh yesterday made his presentation/rebuttal to the 2012 BudgetFinance Minister Dr Ashni Singhdebates where he sought to rip through the arguments put forward by the opposition.“With a few exceptions” he acknowledged but condemned the majority of opposition presentations as “political grandstanding.”The Finance Minister however closed his presentation on a completely different tone from the one with which he started and commenced to plead with the opposition to use its ‘scissors’ judiciously as it attempts to make cuts to the $192.8B Budget.Already the Alliance for Change (AFC) Chairman, Khemraj Ramjattan, has outlined some $3B (US$15M) to be placed on the chopping block.Dr Singh in wrapping up his presentation urged the combined Opposition, “Don’t use the power of the majority of one, to cut solely for the purpose of cutting. It is the people of Guyana who benefit from the services provided. Join us, and if we were to be guided by the platitude offered, there is still some hope.”The Finance Minister called on the House, particularly the combined opposition, to not wield the “tyrannical emblem of the dictator of one, the scissors, capriciously.”He said that were the opposition to do so they would be “venturing perilously close to squandering the golden opportunity that presents itself with the new dispensation in the House”.Dr Singh cautioned that even if the opportunity would have been lost during the past days of “political grandstanding” in the House, “it would be my sincere hope that over the next six days there would be judicious and responsible conduct”.He said that as the combined opposition gets set to make its cuts to the 2012 Budget, it must be borne in mind that the allocations speak to important government programmes.POLITICAL GRANDSTANDINGAs the Finance Minister opened his presentation he immediately acknowledged the Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition, David Granger’s presentation, which he conceded as the only statesman-like presentation to the House from the Opposition benches and said that it was rich with positive contributions.The Finance Minister took specific umbrage to charges made by the ranks in the AFC benches, particularly that of the party Chairman Ramjattan and Dr Singh’s longstanding parliamentary colleague formerly on the same side of the House, Moses Nagamootoo.In taking Ramjattan to task,NFL Jerseys China, Dr Singh told the House that “we must not be shy of embracing objectives when we agree with them and we must not oppose some for the cause or purpose of opposing.”He said that the Budget debate is never intended to be an exercise in intellectual exhibition or a contest of linguistic or oratory versatility.“Tragically,Wholesale Jerseys China, with a few exceptions, it is my own estimation that my colleagues on that side of the House missed the opportunity completely,” Dr Singh retorted.NICIL, GGMC PRIVATE ACCOUNTSSpeaking directly to the charges made by Ramjattan as it relates to finances being hoarded outside of the Consolidated Fund, hence not being fully represented in the Budget, and the need for this to happen, the Finance Minister indicated that the administration was satisfied with the current arrangement and signalled that it will not change.According to the Finance Minister, all of the agencies that the Parliamentarian referred to are registered and operate under the Companies Act of Guyana.He said that these companies are public corporations and as such arguing that their revenues are not reflected in the budget is akin to arguing for the Guyana Sugar Corporation or the Guyana Power and Light’s revenue streams to be reflected in the Budget.Dr Singh insisted that each of the agencies are subject to the relevant audits and reports under the Act and while it may not be as timely as the opposition would like they are being undertaken.He made no clear commitment to have any of the monies controlled by the separate agencies to be transferred to the Consolidated Fund.Dr Singh insists that the Budget is a reflection of the expenditures and programmes for Central Government which are specific budget agencies, such as the Ministries.He said that Central Government is designed by statute to have boundaries, and as such, NICIL and GGMC are within regulations to control the monies under its purview.Central Government’s budget, he explained, is not one that includes entities that are separate or established under a statute.MARRIOTT AND AMAILA FALLS HYDROOn the issue of the proposed Georgetown Marriott Hotel,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Dr Singh said that it was disappointing to see that even after the Government has made available volumes of documentation as it relates to the project, the opposition is still harping on the issue.Ramjattan retorted from his bench that the

“I will not be involved in the business of playing politics or being in the Chamber for the sake of being here knowing that my ability to offer genuine representation is stymied or non-existent.”By Gary EleazarDespite a historic General and Regional Election which places Guyana for the first time with a minorityAFC Executive Members Raphael TrotmanGovernment in Parliament and the Opposition Alliance for Change and A Partnership for National Unity with a combined majority, nothing much seems to have change in terms of the political landscape.This conclusion can be drawn from the fact that despite a tripartite proposal in terms of working together on certain pertinent issues, there is yet to be consensus and one politician from all indications will not be drawn into the fray of the same old politics.Raphael Trotman, the leader of the Alliance for Change,Jerseys From China Online, had contested the election as Prime Ministerial Candidate after his colleague Sheila Holder fell ill and died.Trotman however, despite his party securing seven seats in the National Assembly, from all indications will not be sworn in as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the tenth Parliament expected to be convened by Head of State Donald Ramotar shortly.According to sources, Trotman is sticking to his position that he held during the final days of the ninth Parliament.In one of Trotman’s more revealing speeches in the ninth Parliament which expired shortly before the November 28 Election, he stated emphatically that, “I have resolved that for myself, I will not be involved in the business of “playing politics” or being in the Chamber for the sake of being here; knowing that my ability to offer genuine representation is stymied or non-existent.”Trotman in a direct message to his fellow MPs, the then Speaker of the House Ralph Ramkarran and the populace had stated that “I have therefore resolved to only be involved in the future when there is something that is constructive and not destructive; something that is embracing and not insular; and something that is forgiving and reconciling.”Trotman at that time had reminded that that Article 13 of the Constitution states that “The principal objective of the state is to establish an inclusionary democracy by providing increasing opportunities for the participation of citizens, and their organisations in the management and decision-making processes of the State,Wholesale Authentic NHL Jerseys, with particular emphasis on those areas of decision-making that directly affect their well-being”.Trotman is on record as saying that the time has come for “us to forge a system of governance that promotes concerted effort and broad-based participation on national decision-making…we cannot maintain the Republic if we continue to practice our combative, competitive, and confrontational style of governance.”This, according to a source, has not changed and Trotman is of the firm belief that not much progress can be made given the confrontational attitudes with which he has become disgusted still pervades with no clear indications of a change.Trotman is of the opinion that, “Unless we have the courage to embrace our own unique form of power-sharing and inclusive governance, uniquely designed for our unique situation, we will continue to be lesser than our true potential.”Trotman had told the House that, “we desperately need a President, (and a government), who demonstrates the capacity, ability and willingness to bridge the ethnic and political divide, to confront and address legacy issues that spurn hate and revenge; to forge a culture of accountability and acknowledgement that creates the atmosphere for forgiveness and reconciliation; and to put Guyana and all of its people first,NFL Jerseys From China, and not ego,Authentic NFL Jerseys Free Shipping, blind ambition, ethnicity, gender, religious belief, age,China Jerseys Free Shipping, and even sexual orientation, if I am to be politically correct.”Trotman’s substantive political career commenced over a decade ago, when he was first elected a member of the Mayor and Councillors of the capital City of Georgetown (1994). He has been a Member of Parliament since 1998.He has since also served as Chairman of the Legal Affairs and Security Committee of the City Council, and a member of several Parliamentary Select Committees from 1999-2001, including from 2001-2005, a member of the Foreign Relations and the Constitution Reform and Standing Order Committees of Parliament.

Residents of Aishalton are peeved that the authorities have failed to rectify inefficiencies at the Aishalton Secondary School and dormitory,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, even after the Toshao wrote to the Ministries of Education and Amerindian Affairs and the Regional Democratic Council, highlighting students’ plights.The letter was sent following the death of three students last year,Cheap NFL Jerseys, who residents assumed had run away from school for several reasons, including shortage of food,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, harsh living conditions,Jerseys NFL Cheap, and bullying by older students.Last year, three boys perished in a sand pit not too far from the school,NFL Jerseys China Wholesale, sending shockwaves through the Region Nine community.The boys’ actions were not surprising to residents since during that particular week in November, there were four similar attempts to flee the dormitories by other students.However, their deaths have left residents with the desire to see changes in the school and dormitory managements.According to a resident, the absence of a Head Teacher, inadequate food supply, poor dormitory management, insufficient water supply and sexual activities are some of the challenges students,Authentic NFL Jerseys, especially those who reside in the dormitories, encounter.“Since that incident occurred, nothing has changed. The dorm parents remain the same and children continue to leave the school compound whenever they feel like. The Ministry of Education haven’t even sent a Head Teacher; that young teacher cannot teach and manage the school at the same time,” he stated.The man related that food has always been a problem in the school and this is appalling, since farming is a major economic activity of Amerindian communities. He added that years ago, a Dorm Mother resigned because she refused to prepare “next to nothing” for students to consume.The resident noted the inadequate management by House Parents has led to the older students bullying the younger ones, and sexual misconduct in the dormitory. He emphasized that recently, condoms and nude pictures were found in the dormitory. These occurrences have made elders feel uncomfortable and worried about the safety of their children.The man stressed that the Parent Teachers’ Association needs to have a stronger voice in the management of the school, and the Regional Education Officer should constantly monitor the institution’s activities, since there is no Head Teacher.A few weeks ago, Education Minister, Pryia Manickchand, in a press statement, had assured that the Ministries of Education, Amerindian Affairs and Local Government are embarking on a detailed examination of the status of hinterland Secondary Schools with particular focus on the provision of services at and the expansion of dorms for Guyana’s children.

17 years on…By Enid JoaquinFebruary 17th, this year, marked exactly seventeen years to the date of one of the most horrendous tragedies to have occurred in the town of Linden.It was a day when the entire town was plunged into mourning, following the death of four school children, whose lives were snuffed out,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, after the bus they were travelling in exploded.Melissa WillsFRIENDS FOREVERThe four children that perished, nine year old Mellissa Wills,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, eight year old Dacia Alert, nine year old Chiaka McKinnon and eight year old Onica Best, were very good friends and school mates, and were students of the Mackenzie Primary School. On that fateful day, they were on a bus on their way home, from what should have been a school tour. But the tour ended up being a ‘picnic’ on the Linden /Soesdyke highway, after their bus developed problems on the way to Georgetown.A Dodge Ram, called the ‘Cutty Ranks’, was driven to the scene to pull it.? The Dodge Ram was also defective. Someone had rigged up a bottle of gasoline in ‘Cutty Ranks’ vehicle. That individual had then inserted one end of a hose in the container of gasoline and used the hose as a makeshift fuel line leading to the engine.Someone then made the foolish and fatal decision to transfer some of the children to the Dodge Ram with the gasoline container.It was in the vicinity of Guyana Stores at Kara Kara that tragedy struck.BALL OF FIRESome boys that were playing football nearby were the first to get a glimpse of the horror that was taking shape. One of them had spotted a ball of fire at the bottom of the ill-fated Dodge Ram, as it stopped for some children to disembark.An alarm was immediately raised, but by the time people got to the bus, it was too late- it had exploded.A few fortunate children and a teacher made it to safety, but the four friends, who had been sitting together, would die together, even as they had played together; and because they were burnt beyond recognition, they were also interred together, in a single coffin.Dacia AlertTheir funeral was one of the largest to be held at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground.As news of the tragedy spread, frantic Lindeners converged on the scene, many of them wondering whether their child was in the bus, and checking other tour buses as they came in, bawling and screaming, all the while. There was hardly a dry eye. It was a heartbreaking and utterly chaotic scene.“Fortunately for the driver of the bus, he had disappeared, or there might have been another tragedy that day”, one eyewitness later reported.A DAY THEY WILL NEVER FORGETRelatives of the four children described that day as the most tragic of their lives.Desiree Alert, the mother of Dacia Alert, noted in a recent interview, “I can never forget that day. I had made a brand new uniform for her- I used to sew all her clothes.? And I remember seeing her all decked out in her new clothes, and so happy’.Mrs. Alert said that she learnt of the tragedy as she was making her way home from work. “A man come up to me and say moms, you ain’t hear what happen, yall ain’t hear Cutty Ranks bus blow up, and some children dead?”“Well after that was chaos, I had a bicycle but I couldn’t even ride, I had to run. My niece she later went and peeped in the bus and saw these charred bodies, and there was channa and other food items strewn on the floor.“But you couldn’t recognize anyone of the children. It was later while at the hospital that I confirmed that Dacia was dead, because there was a list of names of the children that were accounted for, and hers was not on the list. But somehow, I had known all along, because I knew that if she was alive, being the child she was, she would have run to me and given me all the details.“She was unique and brilliant, I never had to tell her to do her homework or anything, and even at such a tender age, she used to wash her own clothes. I often wonder what she would have turned out to be.”The casket in which four victims were buriedAfter her daughter’s death, Desiree? Alert quit her job as a Librarian at the Linden Library, as she felt she just couldn’t cope. She also went into depression and almost became a recluse. She later realized she was pregnant with another child, which she would give birth to eight months later.Alert named her last daughter Sarai, and would later return to the world of work, when the child entered school.“I became so concerned about her safety that I wanted to work at her school, it was like I had developed a sort of paranoia, after Dacia’s death, so I felt I had to be around wherever she was, to ensure that she was safe”.She did get the job as a librarian, but at another school, which she noted helped her to return to a semblance of ‘normalcy’.However, even now, after 17 years,Cheap Jerseys NFL China

Protest action by the staff of the Linden Hospital Complex,Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping, entered its third day yesterday, as the employees remained resolute in their decision to continue industrial action until their needs are met.Calling the recent increase of five percent to public servants wages by Government an ‘imposition’, the employees began their protest on Monday,Cheap Jerseys For Sale, and vow to continue every day,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, between twelve and one o’ clock.The peeved workers are demanding an increase of no less than 25 percent.They have adamantly refused to accept the five percent increase in public servants’ wages and salaries which was recently announced by Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon.GPSU representative,Jerseys NFL Cheap, Maurice Butters, in an interview with this newspaper said that the increase was an imposition,Cheap Football Jerseys China, as no prior consultations or negotiations were conducted with the GPSU.Butters said that letters were written to the Public Service Minister requesting meetings to address the issue of the workers’ wages and salaries, since April last, but to date there has been no response.He added that letters were also written to the Minister of Labour seeking his intervention.The GPSU representative said that ‘enough is enough’.“We believe the time has come for this to stop,Wholesale China Jerseys, and for them to get back to the negotiating table,” Butters declared.Butters pointed out that the GPSU had consulted with President Donald Ramotar on the issue of the five percent increase before its ‘imposition’.“We even met with President Ramotar and he agreed to stop this imposition and requested that the GPSU provide him with a three-year plan.“The collective agreement between the government and the Union must be respected…what about our allowances and overtime which is now being denied without an increase since 1980?”The protest action is expected to continue today, and according to reports, there are plans to soon stage a massive rally to sound the workers rejection of what they also described as an imposition, by Government.
