The People’s National Congress Reform Presidential Candidate David Granger has accused President Bharrat Jagdeo of being a man of double standards. Granger was at the time addressing members of the media at the Party’s weekly media briefing.Speaking about the government’s handling of the United Nations proclaimed, International Year for People of African Descent, “One would have expected that any responsible Government would seek to promote the successful achievement of its declared objectives…the Head of State would be expected to set the appropriate example”.However Granger said that President Jagdeo’s immorality and double standards have so disgraced his administration that he no longer has any moral authority to administer the affairs of Guyana.Granger pointed out, that it is amazing that President Jagdeo could feel comfortable opening a National Men’s Forum recently and claim concern over the specter of escalating domestic violence in Guyana.“The harboring of male predators and pedophiles at the Office of the President; encouraging wife abusers in his administration; deceiving the nation that he was legally married to Ms. Varshnie Singh and his abuse of her while she was his companion at State House, have all left him devoid of any moral authority to speak on those issues.”In this context,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, Granger said the President’s speech at Babu John is reflective of the immorality and double standards he has displayed in both private and public life as he asks Berbicians to remember the past but tells Buxtonians to forget.“Guyana is indeed in a moral crisis and it is to be hoped that Guyanese would together summon the will to remove once and for all this immoral dictatorial regime from our land.”Granger added that while the UN has sought to have the year being used to strengthen national actions and regional and international cooperation for the benefit of people of African descent in relation to their full enjoyment of economic,NFL Jerseys Outlet, cultural,Wholesale Jerseys USA, social,cheap jerseys nfl wholesale, civil and political rights, our administration has sought to do the contrary.Instead of pursuing these objectives,Cheap Jerseys From China, Granger said that the PPP/C Administration led by President Jagdeo appears determined to manipulate this year for partisan political advantage. “The first blow was the deliberate exclusion of the major African Guyanese Organisations from the planning of the Programme and the hijacking of the opening so called “Official Launch” of the year”The Government in its 2011 Budget has also provided millions of dollars in non specific allocations to allow for the flexibility to intervention in certain selective African communities if it deems it politically expedient to do so. This,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Granger said, explains the PPP policy in Buxton in which the PPP has suddenly developed an interest.”Significantly, in visiting this and other African communities President Jagdeo has failed to address their concerns over the torture, murder and disappearance of their sons at the hands of state forces and state sponsored phantom gangs”.Granger added that the president has also failed to address the concern for an Independent International Inquiry that is supported by all major stakeholders in Guyana.“Instead in visiting these African communities President Jagdeo has been urging them to forget the past and to look to the future: the complete opposite of what he advised his supporters at Babu John last Sunday”.

Although the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has not been able to meet any of its revised targets, there will be a sufficient amount of sugar to supply the local market.The strain from problem-plagued Skeldon factory’s poor showing has been taking a toll on the overall operations of GuySuCo.This is according to Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy,Wholesale Jerseys Authenitc, who explained that there is nothing preventing the sugar industry from doing better next crop.He explained however, that thankfully,Soccer World Cup Jerseys, Guyana cannot be penalized for this shortfall,Wholesale Jerseys Online, since there are no penalties attached to the European Union contract.“We never agreed on an amount that we would supply the European Union, so Guyana stands to face no consequences,”GuySuCo’s dismal performance over the years is putting strain on the guaranteed European Union (EU) market, especially now with it not being able to meet the latest quota of 167,NFL Jerseys Cheap,000 tonnes of sugar.As of the end of November 2013, only 135,000 tonnes of sugar amounting to US$60.75M have been exported to the European market.

The year’s first crop fell short of the 70,000 tonnes by an alarming 22,000.Industry officials have recently admitted that the situation over production has plunged the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) into a point of uncertainty where unless all stops are pulled out, the slide will continue.The administration has been saying that the industry is too big to fail but could find little or no answer.At the flagship Skeldon factory, production for the year is slated to be approximately 34,000, far below the targeted 43,000 tonnes. The strain from Skeldon factory’s poor showing has been taking a toll on the overall operations of GuySuCo.Since being commissioned in August 2009 by former President Bharrat Jagdeo,Brian Campbell Jersey, the Chinese-built US$200M project, which includes the factory and expanded cultivation, has been bleeding the Corporation. Almost US$15M (G$3B) has been sunk to repair several faults.In an attempt to further salvage GuySuCo, consultants out of India have been confirmed to run the eight estates operating in Demerara and Berbice.Dr. Ramsammy told this newspaper however,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, that these foreigners will not be taking over from GuySuCo’s existing management, but will be lending a helping hand, and lending technical expertise in steering the corporation onto a prosperous path.
