–?? ?Censorship high on revamped agendaWith censorship high on its agenda, the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security on Monday relaunched a reinvigorated Family Commission at Cara Lodge, Quamina Street, Georgetown.Headed by Member of Parliament, Reverend Kwame Gilbert, the Commission is poised to institute necessary and possible censorship actions to anything it believes can be injurious or harmful to family life.The Commission’s performance will in fact be backed by the age-old Cinematograph and Video Act of 1912, as well as new a piece of legislation which makes provision for censorship to be brought to any video production, printed material or any other item that can be considered harmful.Chairman, Reverend Kwame Gilbert, and Minister of Human Services, Ms Jennifer Webster, (fourth and fifth from left respectively) in the company of eight members of the Commission.According to Reverend Gilbert, “We are going to be looking at the old piece of legislation to see where it can be amended to allow us as a Commission to provide censorship to the things that we believe are harmful to family values in this nation.”Among the areas likely to gain the attention of the Commission are: any video programmes, television programmes, music, published materials or any other thing or activity that the Commission deems as damaging to the society.“We intend to be very vocal and active as a Commission on things that we believe are contributing to the eroding standards and values of our society…We believe that advocacy and involvement cut across every stratum; government and non-government agencies and every place that we as a Commission can have a voice that addresses anything that in some way affects family life and family values in our country,” Rev. Gilbert insisted.The Family Commission was first established in 1998 but was overshadowed by a number of other Commissions which have over the years helped to promote family life in Guyana. The relaunched Commission was however appointed by Cabinet on July 1, 2012, and has met about eight times since with a view of deciding its specific mandate in response to the needs of the society.“As we move forward we may find it necessary to make some amendments and tweak some of the things that we are doing to ensure that it is relevant and impactful in addressing the needs of families in our country,” Rev. Gilbert disclosed.Moreover, the Commission will be guided by the four broad thematic areas of advocacy, public education, partnership building, as well as monitoring and evaluation.In the area of advocacy, members of the Commission will examine existing legislation with the hope of recommending reforms that could aid and support family life and the work of the revamped Commission.Part of what it will seek to do over the coming weeks would be to examine some of the existing legislation with a view of determining if they can support,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, in critical ways, family life in Guyana.

People need to know where to go; what numbers to call; who they can contact.”Added to this, he disclosed that the Commission will be working on advertising events to highlight the scope of its work in order to prevent ambiguity and confusion as to what it is mandated to do.“We cannot solve all of the problems and it would be very necessary for us to be very clear on what are the problems that we can solve in our capacity,” he asserted.Moreover, in its attempt to build partnership, the Commission is expected to network with Ministries, other gover
