– Parliamentary debate to mount pressure on govt. to deliverThe town of Linden is looking to up pressure on government to deliver on its promises,China NFL Jerseys, such as handing over a dish and transmitter, so it can get to start broadcasting when it is granted a licence.The government in an August 21,2012 agreement had promised to hand over the dish and transmitter to the town within two weeks, but a little more than nine months later, the representatives of the town are still to get the transmitter and dish.However,holesale Soccer Jerseys, Region Ten Chairman Sharma Solomon said that the Region has taken possession of the area where the dish is located and facilities are being built to house the television station.The government has told representatives of the Region that the transmitter is not in a working condition.“If they knew that the transmitter wasn’t in operation then why did they say they were going to give us the transmitter? It is clear the intention was not to give us anything,” Solomon stated.He said that the Region is pressing for the operation of Channel 13 as part of the deal for the handing over of the transmitter.The matter is expected to come to the forefront in the National Assembly tomorrow in a motion tabled by Member of Parliament Vanessa Kissoon.Kissoon had helped shape the agreement with government as a way of ending protests in the town when three Lindeners were shot dead on the first day of protests against electricity rate hikes in the town.After the agreement was signed, Linden was told that it cannot be granted a radio licence by the government but that it had to apply for a licence to broadcast like any other person interested in broadcasting.Representatives of the town had argued that that was not the agreement. However, they abided by the government’s request and have finalized persons who will form the Board of Trustees. These include Solomon himself.That application process has been somewhat delayed, Kissoon told Kaieteur News yesterday.“We have taken some time to gather all the documents and paperwork that was needed,Agustin Marchesin Jersey, but the application will go in shortly,” she said.This was confirmed by Solomon.The government had argued that it would facilitate the granting of the licence in keeping with the law. And so,NFL Jerseys China, it said the town must follow the current law and apply to the National Broadcasting Authority.The Authority’s chairperson Bibi Shadick has said that the application would be fast tracked once it is submitted.Solomon said that as per the agreement,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, the Region will compile the necessary documents and hand it over to the government negotiators who will then facilitate the licencing process with the Broadcasting Authority.Shortly before he stepped down,Blank Jersey, former President, Bharrat Jagdeo, issued licences to his close friends and party members in what has widely been described as biased distribution.Opposition parties in the National Assembly and private media operators have condemned the process in which the licences were issued and have called for them to be revoked.Lindeners also applied to the National Frequency Management Unit along with their broadcast plan and the technical specifications of the installation, all of which were submitted by the end of August 2012.In a motion tabled in the National Assembly, Kissoon noted that “months after the signing of the Agreement many aspects of the Agreement have not been implemented, especially the commitment to return the dish and transmitter to the people of Linden….”She wants the National Assembly to call on Government to immediately adhere to its commitments and obligations under the written agreement of August 21,2012.

By Kiana WilburgThe recent decline in economic activities is “deeply worrying” to the Private Sector Commission (PSC).? The body reflected yesterday on the immediate and impending effects of what appears to be a worsening situation.The Commission said that already,NFL Jerseys Outlet, some businesses have been forced to trim their staff size, while foreign and local business partners have been left with no other choice but to put some of their investments on hold.The state of affairs saw the Commission meeting with the business community on July 24, last, to discuss the perceived downtown in commerce recently. The discussion dealt with matters of employee retrenchment, to the sudden increase in crime, spending on Government projects, and matters related to how the clearing of goods and the processing of investment agreements are affecting them.The Commission said that business representatives mentioned that they have noticed a drop in consumer spending and expectations and noted that projects are being delayed and/or suspended due to the cessation of payments on some projects.The entity said that the business community is also concerned about the persistent “bottlenecks” when doing business with the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).The meeting between private sector representatives and members of the business community“It is the view of the business community that GRA needs to expand its taxpayers’ bracket and focus on those individuals who have been evading taxes for too long. To this end the Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan, was written to, and meetings were held with the top brass of the GRA and the PSC,” the Commission added via a missive to the media.The body also noted that it is concerned that the current situation can lead to a high level of non-performing loans. The PSC also expressed concern about the intended removal of over $60 billion in Government funds that are deposited at the Commercial Banks. It said, too, that there is an increased level of defaulting loans being recorded in some sectors of the economy.The PSC is of the opinion that once there is a decline in consumer expectations and spending, it can create drops in sales and profits. This development it said, would force businesses to put a hold on hiring and inevitably the retrenchment of employees.The PSC said that while it commends the actions taken by the Government and the Guyana Police Force in the solving of recent crimes, it believes that more should be done to prevent and detect crimes and restore the confidence in law enforcement.It said that there has been a call for stronger police presence in and around the city as businesses are concerned about their employees and customers being robbed in the streets and at their homes.The Commission said that it has also recognized that the economy has taken a downturn since 2014, but the present administration has an opportunity to restore this confidence, by releasing a budget that would stimulate spending.? Additionally, it opined that the Government needs to ensure the efficiency of GRA and to restart spending through issuance of contracts,Cheap NFL Jerseys, etc.The Commission had said that it urged the Finance Minister during a meeting on the 2015 budget, to consider a stimulus to boost the economy,China Jerseys Cheap, since there has been a slow-down in business. The Minister had given his commitment to consider this proposal.? He also committed to ensuring stability of the currency through appropriate monetary policies.The discussions between the two also focused on a number of areas,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, such as the urgent need for liberalization of the telecommunications sector.In the area of infrastructure, attention was paid to dredging of the Demerara Harbour and the development of road links including the Timehri to Georgetown to East Demerara link, the Linden to Lethem road and the East Bank Essequibo to Bartica Road.The Finance Minister had suggested that a team be put together through the Ministry of Business and Investment to look at a Public-Private Partnership for the dredging of the Harbour.The PSC had also expressed its views on the need for renewable energy, especially hydroelectric and solar power projects,Wholesale Jerseys NFL, but Jordan made it clear that Government does not intend to proceed with the Amaila Falls project in its current form.The Commission nevertheless urged for the consideration of other renewable energy sources.With regard to the solid waste dilemma, including problems with the Haags Bosch landfill project, the Commission had recommended the consideration of waste to energy systems, since Guyana now generates enough solid waste to make these feasible
