People’s National Congress Reform presidential candidate,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, Brigadier David Granger, is calling on the current administration to implement correct policing, rigorous law-enforcement, efficient road engineering and proper licensing of vehicle drivers.This call comes in the wake of the recent spate of road fatalities.In a recent public statement Brigadier Granger said that the road deaths are a shocking reminder of how dangerous the roadways have become. He added that the figures are also a warning of the incompetence of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Administration.Granger proposed that the Ministry of Home Affairs can prevent most road accidents if some stringent measures are put in place.The PNC/R leader also referred to a statement by Health Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy when he stated that road accidents were the seventh leading cause of all deaths. According to Granger, Minister Ramsammy pointed out that the real tragedy was that not a single road death should occur since it is something that is preventable.“In Guyana virtually all of our families have somebody that died before their time. We have somebody living with disability because of accidents. That is unacceptable,” Dr. Ramsammy said.The Party Leader added that Guyana’s rate of road fatalities has been frighteningly high since the PPP/C entered office. “Guyana Police Force Chief Traffic Officer, Superintendent John Daniels recently told a meeting, held to observe the Global Decade of Action for Road Safety Month 2010-2020, that 1,Cheap Jerseys From China,377 persons were killed in fatal accidents, among them 199 children, 568 pedestrians and 160 drivers during the last decennium”.It was also stated that former Chief Traffic Officer, Superintendent Roland Alleyne who spoke? at the re-launching of the National Road Safety Council? some time ago, disclosed that there had been 1,883 deaths as a result of accidents on the roadways in the period 1995-2006, an average rate of more than three per week for over eleven years!Had such a large number of persons – 1,883 – been slaughtered by bandits in criminal massacres, there would most likely have been an outcry and demands for inquiries from civil society.According to Granger, pedestrians,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, such as the child Jaswattie Ramnauth, unfortunately,Cheap Jerseys From China, constitute the leading category of all persons killed in road accidents. “They are this country’s most vulnerable road users and run the greatest risk of injury or death”.He added that every month, three or four pedestrians, most of them either very young or very old are killed on the roads.Granger further pointed out that sidewalks are rare while many streets do not have marked crossings and there is no indication of where or how pedestrians are expected to cross to the other side.“Zebra crossings,NFL Jerseys China, where they exist, are frequently faded and unmarked grass verges alongside roadways tend to be uneven, stony, muddy or encumbered by builders’ waste and vendors’ stalls.? Pedestrians are often forced to walk onto the motorways where they must compete with moving vehicles for space amidst domestic animals, parked or broken-down vehicles and heaps of sand or mud”.“Having stated all this, the PNCR calls on the Minister of Home Affairs to display a greater sense of responsibility with respect to road safety.“After nearly five years at the Ministry, Clement Rohee must be aware that the problem is that too many persons drive? too fast and? too few traffic policemen are deployed on the rural roadways where speeding is rampant,NFL Jerseys From China, both by day and night”.

Minister of Education, Shaik Baksh,Cheap Jerseys, has expressed surprise at the recent announcement by President of the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU),Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Colwyn King, to seek audience with President Bharrat Jagdeo with regards to an alleged breach of an agreement between the Ministry and the union.Minister Baksh, in an invited comment yesterday, said that while the union has the prerogative to meet with the President, the argument that an agreement was breached will be quite a task to prove.The GTU was forced to engage representation of some teachers recently after they were accused of being involved in sexual misconducts at their respective schools and thus sought the intervention of the union.Following investigations into the matters,China Jerseys, Minister Baksh said that the Ministry had recommended that the harshest of sanctions be imposed against the teachers.To this end it was recommended that the Teaching Service Commission, which is tasked with hiring and firing teachers,Jerseys NFL Cheap, dismiss all teachers that were found guilty of misconduct.?Minister Baksh said that it was also recommended that disciplinary action be instituted against head teachers who were found guilty of negligence and allowed the transgressions to persist. And indeed the measures were imposed much to the objection of the President of the GTU.He had related that since the union has a right to represent all teachers within its membership, he had written to the Ministry to rethink its recommendation.King revealed that it was some years ago that the union and the Ministry entered into an agreement which stipulated that teachers cannot simply be dismissed without a hearing and that a representative of the union must be present; an agreement he claimed was breached when actions were instituted against the teachers.But according to Minister Baksh,Wholesale Stitched Jerseys, following the disciplinary actions against the teachers he had requested that King forward a copy of the agreement to him, a request which he noted is yet to be honoured.The Minister said that he is not aware that such an agreement ever existed and therefore cannot acknowledge the challenge of the union.He further noted that he is disheartened at the fact that the union continues to bring the breach of an agreement to the media as a major grievance, adding that he had only last Tuesday met with King.The Minister said that the Union President was even able to discuss the course of disciplinary actions against the teachers with TSC officials and appeared to have been satisfied with the decisions that were made.But even if the disciplinary actions are not condoned by the Union, the Minister said that there will be no reversing of those already instituted decisions.According to him,Wholesale NBA Jerseys China, he believes that the decision made is good and is in accordance with maintaining a good and proper standard within the system.The Minister expressed concern that the union continues to emphasise the measures as major problems and has even threatened to take disciplinary action.He is of the belief that if the GTU continues its current course of action it will only serve to encourage teachers to become complacent in the school system and allow for them to indulge in deviant practices rather than work towards the upliftment of the system.Meanwhile, Minister Baksh said that he has made a proposal to the GTU President that the Ministry and the union collaborate to create a definite disciplinary procedure which both entities can agree to. According to the Minister, the two entities have over the years been able to maintain a cordial relation and he is optimistic that it will continue with a view of helping to improve the education sector.
