… as Mayor/Town Clerk feud persistsBy Zena HenryGeorgetown Mayor Hamilton Green has reported poor progress for the year 2014. Given the instability between the executive and administrative sectors of the Council, the Mayor related that none of the decisions made by Full Council during their statutory meetings were fulfilled.Just after the placement of Carol Sooba as acting Town Clerk by the Local Government Ministry, the Council has been divided with the Mayor and Councilors complaining that the Town Clerk refuses to carry out their decisions, while the administrative head cites sections of the law which she says give her power to override some of the Council’s decisions or warrant the intervention of the Local Government Ministry.Town Clerk (ag) Carol SoobaDuring a city walkabout which highlighted the ongoing environmental issues plaguing the city yesterday, Mayor Green related that “2014 progress has been very unsatisfactory.” When asked, the Mayor said, “All of our (Council’s) proposals; solid waste, clean-ups for example, were all frustrated by Sooba and (Local Government Minister) Norman Whittaker.”The Mayor said that nothing was achieved with the current Town Clerk and the incumbent minister in place. According to him, the Council is well aware of the issues plaguing Georgetown, but the political surroundings have prevented the efficient functioning of the body. The continued denial of Local Government Elections and the commissioning of a Local Government Commission have both been acts of the government, he opined, and attributed their absence to the political grip that the government has on the Council.The Mayor had gone through the Stabroek Market, where he met with several stall holders who expressed their concern about various difficulties they face. He had visited also the Stabroek wharf which is in need of immediate repairs. The wharf area is dilapidated and has already been deemed an unsafe location. A? man was hospitalized mid-last year when one of the structure’s beams had fallen on his head, rendering him unconscious.The structure continues to fall apart, but daily, persons continue to conduct business there. The Mayor blamed the Ministry for the deterioration of the wharf, since he claimed that the measures put in place by the Council over the years to aid in the financial upkeep of the structure have been shut down or taken over by the government. One such measure, he pointed out,Cheap Jerseys USA, included the introduction of the current speedboat operations at the wharf which allows for operators to pay a fee.To date there is no reason why the government transferred this initiative to an agency where they (government) have direct control,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, Green claimed.Mayor Hamilton Green (centre) met with Stabroek Market stallholders yesterdayIn the presence of several stallholders and passersby who converged to hear the Mayor’s remarks, he outlined other areas where the Council failed. He said staffers were hired and fired without the Council’s knowledge; staffers were not paid when they were supposed to, equipment was not purchased when decisions were made and the Local Government Ministry intervened in matters out of their scope, among other issues.The Council has however passed a fifth no-confidence motion against the sitting Town Clerk. On Monday last, the motion was tabled,NFL Jerseys China, seconded and passed by two Council members. When asked,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, Mayor Green said that, “Sooba and her cabal are trying to push us (Council) to inappropriate action. We have moved the fifth motion, setting out quite clearly the bad behaviour of the lady. In any normal democratic society she should step aside, because at the moment the Constabulary is investigating criminal charges which we have brought against her for doing things without the fiat of the Council.”Mayor Green went on to say that in light of the unsuccessful experiences that the Council had with previous no-confidence motions, they are depending on city dwellers to express their dissatisfaction with the manner in which Georgetown is being managed. The Mayor admitted that Georgetown lacks proper management and sufficient finances, but he believes that the matter can be addressed if the powers that be,NFL Jerseys China, want it fixed.The recently passed no-confidence motion pointed out several reasons why Sooba should go. It related to the court quashing her appointment to Town Clerk status by the Local Government Minister, her inability to manage her post,Adidas Hockey Jerseys Cheap, her refusal to call staff meetings on the Council’s request, refusal to adhere to Coun

The H1N1 (Swine Flu) situation remains stable in Guyana. There are still only 26 confirmed cases in the country, according to Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, who noted that a total of 200 specimens have already been tested.Of that number,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, the Health Ministry is awaiting the results of 26 of the specimens.While this is in process, health workers continue to monitor persons who are suspected to have the virus.It was explained that as soon as a doctor suspects that a person is infected with the virus, that individual is placed on treatment, since the Ministry does not await confirmation on this.The process of confirmation is reported to be a rather long process, since the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) in Trinidad only accepts six specimens to be tested at one time from Guyana.CAREC is the only certified health centre in the Caribbean to test for the virus. Although Guyana will have the capacity to test for the virus,Wholesale China Jerseys, Minister Ramsammy said the specimens will also still be tested at the centre for a short period of time,Cheap Stitched MLB Jerseys, in order to verify the accuracy.Recently, the Ministry of Health sourced $8 million from its partners to establish the capacity to conduct the H1N1 testing in Guyana instead of sending its specimens overseas. It was noted that the money was not sourced from regular budget of the Health Ministry and that the government was not asked for assistance in sourcing the money.Upon the emergence of the virus,Jerseys NFL Cheap, the Inter American Development Bank (IDB) gave a sum of money to the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) to help the region respond to the H1N1 virus.From that sum of money, Guyana is benefiting in a number of ways, including the expansion of the DNA testing capacity and now the capability to test for the virus.Meanwhile,NHL Jerseys From China, Minister Ramsammy is still optimistic that the H1N1 vaccine will arrive in Guyana some time in January 2010. He noted that there are no signs indicating that there will be another delay in the shipment.

… others reprimanded in Essequibo night tickets fraud A councillor was forced to resign and several others have been reprimanded following investigative findings into fraudulent activities during the most recently hosted Essequibo night.At that event a total of 13 bogus entry tickets were uncovered and a committee was formulated to probe that occurrence and recommend disciplinary actions.Yesterday, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud,Cheap Jerseys China, who was part of the committee, revealed that not only were investigations completed but a report was presented to the Government.Government, according to him, accepted the report and would have also acted based on its findings.A number of officials, some employees of the regional administration among others, who were volunteers and were assigned tasks in relation to that activity, were in receipt of letters from Government.The letters, according to Persaud, highlighted areas in which there were breaches and several persons were reprimanded for their lapses among other shortcomings.Based on the investigative findings,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, it was recommended that one councillor of the Regional Democratic Council be asked to resign. That councillor,Cheap Jerseys From China, who represented the People’s Progressive Party Civic slate,Cheap Jerseys From China, has since resigned.The report, Persaud disclosed, also contained clear documentation with regards to the principals and operational procedures that should inform any such activity undertaken by the Government in future.According to the Minister,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, the fraudulent act had in fact benefited from generous publicity from the media and “I think it is only fair to give an update. First of all it was an unfortunate incident but it happened and we are hoping that we have all learned from that bit.”He said that the checks and balances that were in place would have caused the interception and discovery of the bogus tickets at an early stage.“If that didn’t happen it could have been 450 bogus tickets that could have been sold,” he speculated even as he insisted that no regional officials were found guilty of any wrongdoings save and except for the fact that they did not ensure that certain systems or procedures were rigidly enforced.Turning his attention to the decision to merely reprimand some officials,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, the Minister admitted that “in a general way reprimand in itself, if there is compelling evidence to show guilt, might not really be the right thing but in this instance the investigation would have identified culpability, system failures and others so the actions taken were based on the evidence presence.”This publication had reported that a Region Two Democratic Councillor for the ruling party was caught with close to 500 counterfeit tickets printed for the 10th hosting of the Essequibo Night and Agriculture Fair which was held in early October of last year.The female councillor, this publication understands was arrested but was released on station bail hours after she was taken to the Aurora Police Station for questioning.Emerging reports had indicated that the tickets had no indication of a stamp or as being produced by the hosts.The counterfeit was detected after people who had purchased tickets from a booth managed by the ruling party were held up at the gate.

Although a series of recent deliberations have overshadowed the operation of the Caribbean Press,China Soccer Jerseys, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr Frank Anthony, is urging that “Instead of being negative,cheap jerseys, let us see the positive side of this and see how you can participate to make this a better endeavour”.Culture Minister, Dr Frank AnthonyThe Minister said that a lot of the issues that have been raised in the media about the Caribbean Press have somehow suggested that there is mismanagement within the institution. He said that it was speculation along these lines that had caused the parliamentary opposition, during the recent budget debate,Cheap Jerseys China, to threaten to cut funding for such activities, even as he added that “I think people had the wrong perception of what we are actually doing.”Anthony said that it was after a lot of questions and scrutiny,Jerseys NFL Wholesale China, all of which were adequately addressed, that the opposition was satisfied enough to allow for continued financial provision to the Caribbean Press, “So I don’t know what this issue about management is. It seems that people are always shifting the goalposts”.He emphasised that there was even need to dispel the perception that “we were not publishing contemporary writers.”As he made reference to the Guyana Classics, which were brought into being through the Caribbean Press, the Minister noted that there are currently publications that represent a broad portfolio of historic and literary values. Also he said that moves have since been made to start a series of work with contemporary writers, moreover a number of them have since had their work published.He noted that in the past three years in excess of 60 books have been published; something he believes has been taken for granted.“It is a remarkable thing that we have been able to do that and the sole purpose of it is to get these books into our school system and to get people reading more about our history and so forth.”He sought to highlight too that an initiative was engaged about one and a half years ago to work with local writers.“I had personally convened meetings with persons who are interested, and we sent out a broad call to persons who are interested to come and have discussions with Dr. (David) Dabydeen.”Dr. Dabydeen is currently the principal editor of material that reaches the Caribbean Press. And according to Minister Anthony, not only has Dr. Dabydeen been offering invaluable service, but he has also been soliciting the involvement of other professors to support the work of the Press.The Minister also sought to highlight that Dr. Dabydeen and many other workers of the Press, operate on a voluntary basis, and are therefore entitled to their own opinions about the writings they peruse.“I am not an expert in this field (writing)…but Dr. Dabydeen, who is one of the very technical people involved in the press, has a very strong opinion on some of the writings that are emerging. That is his view…I am not competent to judge the quality of writing that is emerging because that is not my field of expertise. If you ask me about health I can comment about matters relating to health; that is my field of expertise.”The Minister said that at the moment he is not only appreciative of the work that is being done, but is desirous of seeing serious contributions in this regard from other aptly qualified individuals. He noted too that it is his expectation that people would be able to see the broader picture stressing that “it is not about money, it is about promoting literature, it is about cultural development…there is always space for more people who can help and that is what we are trying to do”.He said that since writing is a “lonely thing” the production of quality writing depends on the writer who must be able to expend energies in perfecting his/her techniques. He added too that while a writer can be given broad guidelines as how to perfect the art of writing, the end result will come down to that individual doing “that extra work.”“So in whatever way we can facilitate and help we are doing that,” the Minister asserted.As such, he noted that it is unfortunate that continuous efforts are being made to belabour shortcomings within the Press, rather than disregard that three years ago nothing existed in terms of formal publishing in Guyana.He also pointed out that while some in Guyana are not willing to recognise the volume of work that is being done in Guyana,NFL Jerseys China Online, foreign nationals are anxious to have such moves emulated in their territories. He was at the time alluding to some writers in Trinidad, French Guiana and Suriname,<a href="http

Minister of Human Services and Social Security,NFL Jerseys China, Jennifer Webster,Cheap Jerseys Online, on Friday presented holiday cheer in the form of hampers,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, to elders at the Uncle Eddie’s Home in Tucville,Cheap Jerseys China, Archer’s Home on D’Urban Street and the Gentle Women’s Home on Brickdam respectively.She explained that even though the homes are privately owned,NFL Jerseys From China, the government would still give annual subventions.The Ministry recently funded a renovation of the laundry room at the Uncle Eddie’s home. A washing machine will also be given to the home.President of the Management Committee for Uncle Eddie’s Home,Wholesale NFL China Jerseys, Walter Lewis, accepts the hamper on behalf of the residents of that home.In addition, the Ministry also facilitated the installation of grills at Archer’s home in an effort to prevent yet another robbery, and to ensure the safety of the residents there.Just about two months ago the residents’ money and pension books were stolen by gunmen who invaded the premises at around midday. Gold jewelry belonging to the administrator of the home was also stolen.

Participants in the Guyana Public Service Union’s (GPSU) 20th Biennial delegates’ conference will place significant focus on good governance as a means of fostering decent work conditions during their two-day symposium catering for union recommendations for the next two years.GPSU’s President Patrick Yarde addresses the crowd, with acting President Samuel Hinds and GPSU members seated in the back ground.Under the theme, “Relentlessly pursuing good governance, decent work, social and economic justice,” the union has urged for meaningful input from the government and to exercise the five factors of good governance for the benefit of public servants.Speaking at the opening ceremony at the National Cultural Centre yesterday, chairperson Dawn Gardener, told the gathering of union representatives from the nation’s 10 Administrative Regions; that there are five components of good governance—- transparency, responsibility, accountability, participation and responsiveness.She explained that for good union/government relations,Cheap NFL Jerseys Online, leaders have to recognize these components to foster ties and therefore aid in the union’s quest to ensure decent work for its members.“The decent work agenda has forced strategic objectives which reinforce each other. These objectives are promoting and analyzing standards and fundamental principles and rights at work; creating greater opportunities for women, men; to secure decent employment and income; enhancing the coverage and effectiveness of social protection for all and strengthening for a ‘tripartism’ and social dialogue.”Guyana is not behind with social and economic inequalities; and some public servants are living below the poverty level, Gardener told the crowd.GPSU President Patrick Yarde first expressed great regret in the absence of President Donald Ramotar, who was represented by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds.Yarde said,NFL Jerseys From China, “As the Head of State and Head of the Government of Guyana, especially one with a trade union identity we (union) would have been pleased to have the opportunity to share our concerns and hear his views.”Yarde added that the workers have remained firm and forthright in the face of the pittance they received over the years.Addressing the conference theme, Yarde said that its relevance is reflected in the developments that have taken place globally and more so locally, over the past decade or so which most of us have painfully experienced.“These sufferings and sacrifices could have been avoided had there been people-oriented leadership and the recognition that we are all citizens and should be treated equally and fairly. In these circumstances, a moral and patriotic approach would have led to the observance of natural justice, due process,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, respect for human and civil rights, equitable distribution and even-handed treatment, at all times.”The delegates who are participating in the two-day conference.“The GPSU has had to defend its stance and kept hope alive in a hostile environment characterized at times by, vicious and unwarranted onslaughts on workers in their recognized bargaining units, disregard for the rule of law and of ILO Conventions and practices, and the absence of due process.”Speaking on good governance, Yarde reiterated calls for the Public Service Appellate Tribunal where public workers can get redress.“The unwillingness to reconstitute this body has been very frustrating, discriminatory and costly to Public Servants, forcing them to take matters to the High Court at high costs and to suffer lengthy time loss,NFL Jerseys Cheap Authentic, while waiting for related judgments.”The GPSU president went on to outline some cases of injustice being meted out to public workers, with examples such as overtime-working janitors and cleaners in Linden, Region Ten receiving half of their work pay and having to work without the relevant equipment. He went on about persons being dismissed from their place of work without proper representations.Yarde said for nearly two decades the GPSU applied for land for housing for members in all regions and land to construct day cares and Child Care Centres, among other economic projects. “Sadly, these requests have not been approved, yet we are hearing of thousands of acres of land being allocated to Chinese nationals, Indian nationals and more recently Trinidadians.”Yarde argued, “The remuneration being offered to Public Servants is not only unrealistic, but blatantly disrespectful and insulting, considering their hard work. Then there is the ridiculous situation where the insufficient remuneration is systematically eroded by inflation, to such an extent that the worker is substantially worse off, since purchasing power is significantly reduc

By Kiana WilburgA Treasury bill,Cheap NFL Jerseys, commonly referred to as “T-bill,” is a form of security used not only by the Guyana Government but governments across the world to secure large sums of money, with the understanding that it must be paid by a specific date. So when an individual or a company buys a Treasury bill from the Central Bank, they are basically lending the government money which would be repaid by a deadline.While Treasury bills have a “face value” of a certain amount, which is what they are actually worth, they are however, sold for less. For example, a bill may be worth $10,000, but it would be sold to a company or individual for approximately $9,Wholesale Stitched NFL Jerseys,600. The money paid represents the loan to the government.Now, every bill has a specified?”maturity date” which is when the investor is repaid. The Guyana government then pays you the full price of the bill — in this case $10,Wholesale Jerseys,000 — and you earn $400 from your investment. The amount that you earn is considered interest, or your payment for the loan of your money.The difference between the value of the bill and the amount you pay for it is called the discount rate,Cheap Authentic Jerseys,?and is set as a percentage. In the aforementioned example, the discount rate is four percent, because $400 is four percent of $10,000.Furthermore, Treasury bills are one of the safest forms of investment in the world because they are they are considered risk-free.From time to time, many individuals and institutions enquire about investing in Government Treasury Bills, which is handled by the Bank of Guyana.? Treasury Bills remain the Bank’s principal instrument of monetary control and so it continues to be involved in the auction of treasury bills with various maturities (91-day, 182-day and 364-day) in the primary market.In addition to refinancing maturing debt and raising new funds to meet current obligations, these offerings of T-Bills are made as part of the authorities’ strategy to sterilize excess liquidity in the financial system.The amount of Treasury bills offered by the Central Bank is published in the national newspapers.? Among the information published for each tender are those relating to the issue date, the maturity date, the closing date for tender, the settlement date, and the average discount rate for the previous issue.? After submission, bids are accepted on a competitive basis.? The higher the offer price, the lower will be the discount rate and thus the more competitive will be the investor’s bid and the greater the chances that the bid will be accepted.According to the Bank’s 2014 Annual Report, the conduct of monetary policy continued to focus on price stability, while ensuring an adequate level of liquidity in the system and creating an enabling environment for economic growth.It was noted that the Bank’s holdings of Treasury bills decreased to G$1,606 million from G$3,497 million at the end of 2013.For 2014, the Bank continued to use Treasury bills in the primary open market operations for the effective management of liquidity. The Bank also used purchases and sales of foreign currency to control liquidity. There was a G$20.3 billion net redemption of Treasury bills.The Bank of Guyana also continued to facilitate efficient intermediation through the issuance of notes and coins as well as the promotion of enhanced payment system operation.It was noted that the total outstanding stock of Treasury bills fell by 21.5 percent to G$74,146 million, due to the lower issuance of 182-day and 364-day Treasury bills because of the decline in excess liquidity in the banking system. The volume of outstanding 91-day bills, 182-day bills and 364-day bills decreased by 12.5 percent, 37.0 percent and 21.1 percent to G$6,997 million, G$4,254 million and G$62,895 million respectively.The maturity structure of Treasury bills revealed that the share of 364-day bills represented 84.8 percent of the outstanding stock. The share of the 91-day bill was higher at 9.4 percent while the 182-day bill was lower at 5.7 percent.Of importance is the fact that Commercial banks retained the largest share of the outstanding stock of Treasury bills with 83.5 percent – 1.5 percentage points lower from one year earlier. The public sector’s share, of which the NIS was the only stakeholder, increased to 7.7 percent from 6.9 percent in 2013.The share of other financial intermediaries increased to 6.6 percent from 4.4 percent in 2013. Redemption of Treasury bills increased by 12.4 percent to G$120,Cheap NFL Jerseys China,834 million. Redemption of the 91-day, 182-day and 364-day bills increased by 81.8 percent, 22.6 percent and 0.5 percent, to G$23

The Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) was yesterday closed to traffic for two hours (13:00 hrs to 15:00 hrs) to simultaneously allow the passage of ocean vessels and maintenance works on two special connecting posts.The bridge comprises 61 special connecting posts. The two posts that were changed are positioned at junction 38 and 39,NFL Jerseys China, located on the southern carriageway at the western end of the structure.Two special connecting posts being changed at junction 38-39 on the DHB According to Arun Richard, Maintenance Engineer, the southern carriageway of the bridge is considered the pay load lane since vehicles traversing that section are always heavier. This is because cargo comprising building materials including sand and stone are transported to West Demerara,China NBA Jerseys, Region Three.He noted that inspections are carried out daily on the super structure (where vehicles traverse) and the sub-structure (beneath the bridge including pontoons). Findings from the inspections decide how regular special operations are executed in addition to the everyday maintenance works.The maintenance and operations of the DHB are heavily subsidised by Government. From 2007 to date, while the bridge spent $1.3B on the maintenance and operation of the bridge, Government provided approximately $2.7B.Trucks traversing the bridge contribute the least revenue while their impact is greatest to the structure. Although, scheduled maintenance works are executed daily and vehicle weight scales are placed at both the eastern and western ends of the bridge, the structure is affected by the trucks,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, says Rawlston Adams General Manager.He indicated that with the expanding housing establishments in the Region Three district there has been an increase in the number of trucks and other vehicles traversing the bridge.Adams noted that during the recent Engineering Conference experts were pondering on alternative paths for the trucks to transport cargo to Region Three. He noted that since sand is one of the main cargo transported it was suggested that a trail be used from Timehri to Region Three.However, some experts noted that it would be better to have an additional lane to the bridge since a double lane system is utilised in the morning during peak hours to facilitate the heavy flow of traffic. There is also a heavy buildup of traffic in the afternoon.While experts and engineers are pondering on how to extend the life of the bridge and provide smooth flow of traffic,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, many commuters want a new bridge. They argue that the bridge is old and rehabilitation and maintenance cannot sustain the structure and accommodate the increasing number of vehicles.In October 2008, President Bharrat Jagdeo called the state of the bridge almost criminal.The DHB was commissioned on July 2,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, 1978. The floating structure is 6,Jerseys Wholesale,074 feet (1,851 m). When the structure was commissioned its initial lifespan was 10 years.

By Romila BoodramA fire ripped through a two-storey home at Lot 69 Bella Dam,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, West Coast Demerara last Friday and left four people homeless.The fire, which started about 07:30 hrs, quickly ravaged the two bedroom house. It did not spread to the other buildings nearby.Joseph CallThose without a place to call home are Joseph Call,China Jerseys, his wife, Alisha Call and his two step daughters, Sasha and Shontae.Yesterday, Joseph Call, the head of the home told Kaieteur News that he worked as a fisherman for years and saved every penny to build a comfortable home for his family. His years of hard work vanished in a minute, he said.“This is unbelievable. I am sitting here and don’t know what to do next. When I look at what is left of my home, I am speechless and confused,” a visibly shocked Call stressed.Kaieteur News understands that no one was at home when the fire started in the second room of the building.“I don’t have electricity in the home. I didn’t use the stove for two days because my wife is in Bartica and her daughters were in Sophia. The fire started on the bed but I had nothing in that room,” the fisherman posited.The morning of the fire,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, he explained, he was at work when one of his stepdaughters called to enquire about his whereabouts.“She called and asked me where I was and when I said I was still at work,NFL Jerseys China, she asked me if our house was on fire and I said no.

Neighbours told me that they couldn’t do anything because the blaze was too much,” a distraught Call said.Yesterday, when this newspaper visited him, he was seen putting zinc sheets together to form a shelter for him to sleep. “I have nowhere to go. I have a hammock there that I am sleeping in when the night come.”Call is of the view that someone may have set his home on fire. “It got someone who does thief out my ducks and money. The day before the fire, they thief $4000 and a duck and I talk about it loud. They heard so I don’t know if this is their way of taking revenge.”Call estimated his loses to be approximately $4M.The shelter made by Call
