I know for sure that they are not people from Region Ten, so this has got me worried.I was told also that there are plans to hand over by weekend and have a trial run, but as the Regional Chairman I don’t even know, so this is happening under the radar.“I’m saying whatever is happening, or whoever is involved, whichever Government agency or entity I’m calling for a cease order right now; and all correspondence relating to the dish,China Jerseys Authentic, the station or whatever must be directed to the people’s representative of Region Ten.? That is the Chairman and Councillors or even by extension the Town Council. It cannot be to benefit one individual.Morian elaborated that the establishment of the television station must be of benefit to Region Ten by providing jobs and programmes that would be of interest to the community and foster development and unity.He added that for the past three weeks he has been addressing those issues that are happening and many times he does not even know, because some, like the television issue, ‘were a throwback’ from the previous administration.“What persons need to know is that there is a change of administration in the Region and while you might have been in discussion with other leaders before,Cheap Jerseys From China, now that there is a change,NFL Jerseys China, the continuity must be with us.“Let us move the process forward.

If there is any agreement,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, that agreement has to be after consultation with the people,” Morian declared.He added that there ought to be a broad based committee representing the people of Linden to manage such an entity.The giving back of the Linden Television Station formed part of the agreement that was entered into by the residents of Region Ten and the previous administration following the 2012 protest against electricity tariff increases for the mining Town.

By Jenelle CarterFour days into the start of the new school term, there were scenes of confusion outside of the Stewartville Primary School as students, parents and members of the Parent-Teacher Association staged a massive protest over the sudden transfer of two teachers.Speaking on the issue,Cheap Jeseys NFL, Tracey Kumar, Chairperson of the School’s PTA board said the protest action was as a result of the Ministry transferring two teachers,Cheap Jerseys, one of whom would have eventually had the responsibility of preparing students for the upcoming National Grade Six Assessment.The other teacher was in charge of Grade Three students.Mrs. Kumar explained that one of the teachers was working with Grade Five students,Discount NFL Jerseys, and given the existing circumstances (the advanced state of pregnancy of the Grade Six teacher) it was expected that she would eventually go to the next level to facilitate a smooth transition in the important period leading up to the assessment.To add insult to injury, this newspaper was informed that since the transfers, which took effect on Monday, the Grade Three and Grade Five students are left without teachers.Kumar said the students have also expressed their frustration over the incident.This was quite evident when this newspaper visited the school yesterday.There was a claim that in one case,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, a total of 52 students are usually taught by one teacher and most of the time they are without a teacher. The students reiterated that they would like the return of their teacher.When asked if any effort was made to contact the Ministry on the transfers, Kumar responded in the affirmative.“We raised it (the issue) with the head teacher and she contacted the Ministry and they said nothing can be done,” Kumar said.Sometime during the protest, several police ranks arrived at the school and proceeded to break the locks off the gate, but prevented anyone from entering the compound.According to Kumar, the teacher who was transferred is a trained Primary School Teacher and has been placed at the Vergenoegen Community High School.In relation to the Grade Three teacher, Kumar said that there is no replacement for her, and the teacher who is now left to deal with those students is pregnant, while her replacement is currently on maternity leave.Meanwhile several other issues were raised by parents who also gathered at the school.These include a leaking roof, the deplorable state of the sanitary blocks and no running water.In the meantime,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, some one hour into the protest two officials from the Ministry of Education arrived on the scene. This sparked more chants from the students and parents.The two officials used the rear entrance of the school with the protesters running behind them. One of the officials,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, a male, was seen entering the compound with a hammer in his hand.Throughout all of this, the Head teacher of the school refused to comment on the issue as she clearly stated to the Parent-Teacher body that she will not be a part of the protest action.Later in the day, the parents and teachers met with the Regional Education Officer (REO), Mrs. Merlyn Jones.Following the meeting this newspaper was told that the Ministry has clearly stated that nothing can be done about the transfer of the teachers. The reason cited for the transfer by the Ministry is that the school is over staffed.The REO also promised the parents and teachers that the other issues which were raised would be addressed before the end of the term.

By Michael BenjaminGeneral and Regional elections have come and gone and despite the inauguration ceremony that officially placed Donald Ramotar into the seat of the Presidency yesterday afternoon, all is not well from a unified perspective. That the elections were riddled with inconsistencies coupled with the anger and resentment of a large number of supporters of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) should warn the incumbency that any attempt to continue ruling along similar lines of the previous administration would not be tolerated by the opposition parties or its supporters.In contrast to the analysis of the political experts, coupled with the pre-elections stats of the pollsters,Cheap Jerseys, most of whom favoured the incumbency to regain power through a landslide victory, one definitive variable stood out, the electorate has debunked the experts’ analysis and placed the burden of development of this nation in the hands of every one of the three groups that comprise the legislature—the incumbency,Wholesale Hockey Jerseys 2018, APNU and the Alliance for Change (AFC).Ironically, amidst the acrimonious outbursts that characterized the campaign season, these very political groups will now be required to shelve such vitriol and engage in constructive discussions for the good of the nation.The final count, and by extension the allocation of seats in the legislative chambers, clearly underline the need for our politicians to abandon the partisan politics that has characterized the Jagdeo regime and hammer out a more realistic and all encompassing model that refashions the system, providing an opportunity for equitable distribution of the country’s wealth.The plurality of the Guyanese society should have warned our political leaders y of the necessity for dialogue and compromise towards the realization of this goal.Obviously,NFL Jerseys China, there has been a lukewarm reception by politicians on both sides of the divide to necessary constitutional reforms resulting in the creation of the hostile atmosphere that currently pervades the nation.? To this extent, there has been much talk of a consociation model that would have ensured adequate representation of each ethnic group and a fair distribution of the country’s resources.During its tenure in the opposition benches, the People’s Progressive Party advocated the need for such reformations but upon its accession to office in 1992,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, apparently lost interest in such constitutional reforms. Now, with the shoe on the other foot, the People’s National Congress,China Jerseys, in the oppositions’ benches, started to bellyache about the same system that they had an opportunity to revert, but whether through slothfulness or apathy, failed to address during their tenure in office.Consequently, a near 50 per cent of the electorate was consumed by the impartial attitude of the former Jagdeo Government that rendered them absolutely insignificant. The introduction of the Value Added Tax system, which was initially touted to have the ability to increase spending power, proved to be an albatross around the necks of the masses thus increasing the howls of anguish.Despite the belief by a large percentage of the electorate that the incumbents had performed above the required mark and should be allowed to continue the developmental process, another equally large number debunked this analysis and trooped to the polling stations intent on changing the status quo.Upon conclusion of the voting process and after an inordinately lengthy period, characterized by confrontation of the supporters of both main political groups, not to mention the clashes with some politicians from the incumbency as well as accusations that some polling staff had been assaulted by politicians of the incumbency, the counting process commenced.All seemed to be going fine until nightfall approached. Claims of ballot box tampering were rife and politicians from the APNU camp maintained that the security of these receptacles was compromised.? Several seals discovered at one of the polling stations were displayed as attestation to these claims. That such irregularities failed to impact upon officials of the elections commission who by their dismissal of those claims rendered them inconsequential, has raised the ire of APNU officials that have since vowed to pursue every angle and forum to vindicate their claims.Even as this article is being written, Donald Ramotar is taking the oath as the country’s seventh executive president; he will be the first to do so devoid of a parliamentary majority. Of note also was the absence politicians of the major opposition party APNU and it is no secret that those politicians still mainta

He noted that the hospital is now poised to take Health Care into the 21st century because of hardworking people like the awardees.He encouraged them to enjoy their retirement and to do all the things that they were unable to do while they were working because of the demands of their jobs.The seven women who were honoured in the presentation came from a number or areas, some serving as ward orderlies, some as Nursing Aides, a Ward Manager and a Senior Department Supervisor,Authentic Adidas Hockey Jerseys China, all of them having retired in 2009 or early this year.They are Grace Adonis who served for 27 years, Patricia Ann Moore who served for 18 years,NFL Jerseys Outlet, Eileen Nicholson, who gave some 33 years, Marilyn Powley with 38 years under her belt, Andrea Reman,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, 15 years, Shermin Simon, 18 years and Paulette Solomon who gave 17 years of service.The awardees were given the opportunity to say a little in response.
