Dr. Ranjisinghi ‘Bobby’ Ramroop, who by virtue of being the best friend of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, acquired five radio frequencies, had claimed that he got these through the court.Ranjisinghi ‘Bobby’ RamroopDr. Ramroop has since stated that “neither the government nor former President Bharrat Jagdeo ‘gave’,Wholesale Jerseys China, ‘granted’ or ‘awarded’ to Queens Atlantic Investment Inc. any television or radio licences.”He added that he bought the television station, VCT Channel 28, back in 2008 from Anthony ‘Tony’ Vieira. He claimed that with his purchase of VCT and all its assets,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, he acquired the radio frequency and further secured it in the court.However, at the time of the purchase,NFL Jerseys China, Vieira Communications Limited did not possess a radio station. The pirate radio that broadcast on 100.1 FM had been confiscated by the National Frequency Management Unit.Vieira moved to the courts and secured a decision from Justice Jainarayan Singh that the decision to deprive him of the radio was to deny him the right to freedom of expression. The state appealed but it was not until Vieira had sold Vieira Communications Limited that the decision came.The Appellate Judges were Chancellor Justice Carl Singh, Justice B.S. Roy and Justice Yonnette Cummings-Edwards.They ruled that the redress was granted under Article 153 for the contravention of Vieira’s fundamental rights guaranteed by Articles 40,Wholesale Jerseys Online, 146 and 149 of the Guyana Constitution.When Jagdeo decided to liberalise radio two weeks before he demitted office he shared out radio frequencies, giving five to Ramroop.Since Vieira merely won the right to own a radio it was palpably dishonest for Ramroop to claim that he got the radio frequencies when he bought VCT. And even if he did buy one radio station, which he did not,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, he would have only got one frequency.“How come they (Kaieteur News) didn’t say CN Sharma was ‘given’ a television station? The television licence I bought goes back a decade before his,” he said in a statement.Bharrat JagdeoEven that statement smacks of gross irregularity. President Jagdeo had said that licences could not be sold or transferred. Dr. Ramroop may have bought the company and so enjoys the licence. The licence was not for sale, Khemraj Ramjattan saidDr. Ramroop indeed purchased VCT and all its assets, which he boasted he paid handsomely for,Wholesale Jerseys, Ramjattan added. However, radio frequencies were not assets of the sold communications network.Armed with that court order, Dr. Ramroop was then handsomely rewarded his five frequencies by his best friend, just before that friend left office.According to recent information released by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, the five radio stations given to Ramroop were only issued in November 2011, and then by Jagdeo, who had only days to leave office.

Shock waves rippled through the quiet village of Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara when residents became aware of a teenager in the village who allegedly committed suicide.Dead is 17-year-old Shyon Demi Hendricks, of 69,Cheap Jerseys China, Bella Dam, Pouderoyen. Her lifeless body was found hanging with a rope secured around her neck attached to her bedroom ceiling.Reports are that the teenager’s 11-year-old nephew made the gruesome discovery after one of her sisters began enquiring about Shyon’s whereabouts.Relatives, friends and neighbours gather at the Hendricks’ homeMost of her relatives were reluctant to speak to the media about the unfortunate incident yet two of her sisters tried to divulge some information.The others remained tight lipped.Kaieteur News was told that around 15:00 hrs, the family were all asking for the girl when they noticed her bedroom door was bolted from the inside. They kept calling for her name but she failed to respond.Her nephew then climbed up the wall of his bedroom to peep into Shyon’s room to see what had happened. When he saw her body hanging he told the others and immediately jumped into her room to open the door so that the family could assist.However, by the time the aunts could reach her body, Shyon had been dead awhile. Her body was cold and one of her sisters,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, Rosanna,Jerseys From China, stated that she still couldn’t believe that the girl was dead although the body was hanging there in front of her.“I say that it was some joke or something and that she wasn’t dead because it was hard to believe she’d kill herself. So I put my hand by the rope around her neck to check and felt some blood there and then I realised it was true. I don’t know why she did that,Cheap Authentic Jerseys,” said the sister as she broke down in tears.Another sister, Samantha, told this publication that she lives at Goed Fortuin and Shyon would usually visit her every Saturday.On this occasion she noticed that the girl was withdrawn and appeared to be sad. Samantha said that when she questioned her, Shyon was reluctant to answer, so the matter was dropped. This was earlier in the day.“I don’t know if she had any boyfriend because if she did we didn’t know. Our mother died seven years now and our father is too much in shock to speak about this incident. You see she didn’t go to school and would get whatever she wanted, go out and such, so we don’t know why she did this,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale,” said Samantha.According to some of Shyon’s siblings,Wholesale China Jerseys, it was only on Thursday last that they had to rush her to the West Demerara Regional Hospital because she was complaining of pain at the back of her head.Shyon claimed to be feeling unwell and the family thought she was suffering an asthma attack.“She was an asthmatic case so we thought it was that but the doctors just said it wasn’t her asthma acting up. They treated her and gave her saline and that was it. We don’t know what went into her mind to do such a thing because she doesn’t complain about problems and would keep things to herself,” the relatives lamented.One of the dead girl’s brothers could not control his emotions and began sobbing loudly in their small but modest house.After a few minutes of uncontrolled wailing he sank to the floor and began hitting and kicking the floor and furniture to “let out” his grief.Family members and friends tried to calm him down, however they were unsuccessful and decided to let him vent his frustration and sorrow.Kaieteur News was further told that there were nine siblings until two months ago when her 25-year-old handicapped brother died. Shyon was the youngest child in the family and leaves to mourn her father Wilbert Hendricks and her seven siblings. (Kristen Macklingam)

With the theme for Guyana’s premiere annual trade fair and exposition – GuyExpo – being “50 years, Guyana means business – Promoting Enterprise , Driving Productivity”, it is time to demonstrate in actions more than in words,Cheap Jerseys From China, that Guyana truly means business.This was according to the President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Mr. Vishnu Doerga, who was at the time addressing the gathering as GuyExpo 2016 got underway on Friday last.President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Vishnu Doerga.Present at the event were President of Guyana, David Granger; Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo; Minister of Business, Dominic Gaskin, along with other members of Parliament; members of the diplomatic core; business operatives; and other participants.Doerga hailed the event as an auspicious one – more than any other, since it highlights the available business opportunities in Guyana.Doerga said that he wished to provide a Private Sector perspective on the opportunities and the issues that need to be considered.He added that over the past few years, Guyana has been experiencing “simultaneous” drops in prices of many of the major traditional exports. These drops, he said, have exposed the private sector’s overreliance on trading in commodities in the raw or minimally processed form.“Whilst the resulting economic slowdown is unfortunate, it serves as a timely reminder to keep our efficiency levels at an acceptable level, and to focus on adding more value to our major exports.“Our fertile soil which has supported our agriculture sector needs to be supplemented by a vibrant agro-processing sector in order to realise our role as a food basket for the 15 million plus Caribbean Community (CARICOM) residents and further beyond” Doerga stated.Further, the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME)’s integration mechanism needs to function as intended he said, to allow the promised access to CARICOM markets – access which he sated, is devoid of “unnecessary” barriers.The branching out into non-resource depleting commercial activities, becomes even more urgent“At the same time,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, the need for diversifying into non-resource depleting commercial activities becomes even more urgent. Knowledge and service-based industries such as information technology; telecommunications; tourism; business process outsourcing; and the creative industries, holds the potential to drastically reduce our unemployment levels.”These activities, he said, needs to be supported by the “much needed legislation and subsequent enforcement”. It is in this regard, the business community looks forward to the “liberalisation” of the Telecommunications Industry and the establishment of modern intellectual property legislation, Doerga asserted.He stated that the call for entrepreneurship to become a catalyst for job growth is very timely but will require that the subject of entrepreneurship becoming as important as the sciences in Guyana’s educational system.This, he said, will ensure that students, who leave the school system, are fully aware and educated about the process of turning ideas into reality.“For current and aspiring entrepreneurs,Cheap Jerseys From China, the value of education more than the thirst for financing, needs to be impressed. Nearly every other profession on par with the possible earning power of successful entrepreneurs such as the medical, legal and management professions requires years of training much unlike the limited training that entrepreneurs currently seek – let alone access,” Doerga said.He said that it should therefore not be surprising to know that there is a strong correlation between the limited entrepreneurial training received, and the very high failure rate of start-ups in the first five years.He asserted that entrepreneurs who seek knowledge continuously – formally or informally, are more likely to succeed.Business community urged to pursue value-added initiativesGuyExpo’s theme he said is appropriate and requires that each stakeholder plays their respective part. Therefore, he urged the business community to focus on opportunities which add value to their products and services; to meet local and international standards; and to pursue promising markets with the intent of truly becoming Guyana’s engines of growth.“We expect from our citizens (and) consumers, both local and visiting, to demand high standards of products and services from our businesses while supporting locally manufactured products whenever possible.”Doerga stated that while he is a strong believer of the free market economy, he also strongly believe that Guyana has many of the ingredients necessary to deliver world-class products which can stand their ground and be an easier option for local and inter
