Guyana could very well face penalties if Guyana is not ready for construction of the Amaila Falls hydro project dam by the deadline for financial closure this year end.Government is getting worried as the access road remains unfinished and as the financiers, including the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB),Jerseys NFL China, continue their due diligence work.A section of the Amaila Falls road under construction earlier this year.After several delays since a 2011 deadline date,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, the closure has been pushed back as the financiers awaited the road completion and demanded that the country’s power company take steps to ready its systems to take power from the 165-megawatt facility that is to be built at Amaila Falls, Region Eight. Guyana Power and Light must reduce its commercial losses.Questioned about the developments on the US$840M project, Guyana’s most expensive ever, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, said that given the validity of the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project agreement, financial closure, the access road to the facility, and the actual construction of the plant have to be delivered in a timely manner.The project is designed to reduce Guyana’s dependence on fossil fuel for power with a huge chunk of its foreign earnings going back to pay for that.The framework agreement was signed on July 15, 2010 by the Guyana Power and Light (GPL); Sithe Global’s Amaila Holdings, China Development Bank,jerseys cheap nfl, and the China Railway First Group, the contractor.The agreement had set out among other things, the parties’ intention to reach financial closure within a stipulated time frame.Closure is now anticipated before the end of 2013 and is “integrated” with the other key component,Cheap World Cup Jerseys, the access road, Dr. Luncheon said during his weekly press conference today.The road to the site which requires upgrade of 110 kilometres (km) of new roads coupled with upgrades to 85 km of existing infrastructure, faced severe challenges with Government paying the price for not heeding warnings that its contractor, Fip Motilall from Synergy Holdings Inc.,cheap nfl jerseys, lacked experience in the road building of that nature.Days after taking office, the new Donald Ramotar administration in January 2012, fired Synergy Holdings for failing to meet contractual obligations.Government is banking on the hydro power to meet growing demands and spur growth in the manufacturing sector.Already, GPL is spending more than US$40M to rebuild aging transmission lines along the coastland to reduce technical losses. Also being built are seven sub-stations and a state-of-the-art control centre at Sophia that will allow the company to effectively manage power coming from the proposed Amaila Falls hydropower site.The road to the project, including existing ones, is sometimes through harsh terrains and swamps. Already, since the termination of the US$15.4M road contract with Synergy,2018 Nike Air Max 98, Government has also fired other contractors for failing to meet deadlines.It has since signed a contract for one of the most difficult parts of the road with China Railway, the hydro facility’s contractor for the dam and power station.Government would be more than mindful of the very real possibilities of breach of contracts with the parties for failing to meet the deadline and having financial closure this year.

By Sunita SamarooWith statistics that show every day at least one child is grappling to cope with various social struggles, child care experts are emphasizing that the safety and welfare of children must be everybody’s business.Being at the helm of the Child Care and Protection Agency (CPA), career Social Worker Ann Greene says no day goes by without her receiving a report of a young child being abused, neglected or mistreated in some way.The “horror stories,” as she calls them, have been piling up but Greene believes the numbers would depreciate if child protection was seen as a collective responsibility.While the agency has been at the forefront of the fight to protect and promote the rights of children, Greene said the notion that they are sole caretakers of children must be removed. As she spoke to Kaieteur News, the CPA Head was at pains to emphasize that children ought to feel safe and that society as a whole must step up.“Protection of children is shared responsibility; every adult member of society has a responsibility to protect a child. It is not something we can do alone,” the CPA Director stressed.Family, she said, is the starting point of this but sadly in most of the reports of child abuse she receives family members are the perpetrators. “The hurt is in the home but it should not be. Your home should be safe,” said Greene.There has been a 65 percent increase in the number of reported cases of sexual offences from January to the end of August as compared to the same period last year. In fact, the statistics by the CPA shows there has been a whopping 334 reported cases of child molestation from January to July.Greene explained to this publication that reports have shown that most of the young victims are between the ages of 14 and 18 years old and of the 334 reported cases of sexual abuse,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, 286 of them are females and 48 are boys.All of these cases, recorded by the Agency, have been forwarded to the Guyana Police Force.The problem,Pat Tillman Cardinals Throwback Jersey, as highlighted by Greene, is that dysfunctional families are rampant across board and the group has been putting children at risk in numerous ways. According to her, the problems encountered in families usually stem from four basic factors: substance abuse,Wholesale China Jerseys, mental health issues,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, domestic abuse and poverty.Once present in families, they have detrimental effects on the overall development of children, Greene explained.As she is confronted with countless cases of substance abuse, Greene told this newspaper that “Alcohol is a serious substance and it has destroyed a lot of families. It is creating vulnerability for children.”Speaking on the mental health component, the CPA Head indicated that good mental health would mean that members of families are dealing well with life stressors and maintaining good balance but this is not always the case.In reality, members of the family may be grappling to cope with various burdens, for instance hunger created by inadequate food supplies in households.“What we have found is a lot of parents can’t deal with the stressors of life and as a result it filters down to the children. They are the ones being neglect as parents may ‘run off’ and leave them,” said the CPA Head.Greene spoke too of the different types of abuse suffered in families, particularly those which are less evident like emotional abuse. The social worker said the Agency has come face-to-face with instances where young mothers struggle to cope with abuse in their relationships and they leave their children behind.This, Greene explained, at times lead to the verbal and emotional abuse that was meted out by the father being turned to the children, often damaging them psychologically. She said, in cases, these pains are reflected negatively in children’s behaviour later in life.She underscored that poverty is another factor which families struggle to cope with and it often times leave children in vulnerable positions.Greene said too that the Agency does not clamp down on poverty but would often face criticisms by those who feel they are being harsh on families. “We are making decisions to save children,” the CPA Head said,Cheap China Jerseys Authentic, adding that they work to improve families, in the best interest of the children.Neglect too was underscored as very painful for children and it has serious long-term effects, oftentimes creating a cycle of abuse. The zero to three years stage in a child’s life is very important, highlighted Greene.“Children have secret pain of abandonment and rejection and then they react. If we don’t
