The Commission of Inquiry which was set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding the recent escape of inmates housed at the New Opportunity Corps (NOC) at Onderneeming on the Essequibo Coast has started its work.This is according to Minister of Culture Youth and Sports, Dr. Frank Anthony, last evening.The Minister noted that the members of the commission had their first meeting this week,http://www.soccerpro.us.com/Argentina/, and will soon be visiting the juvenile detention facility to conduct interviews with the inmates and staffers.Early last month, dozens of young people,Wholesale NFL Jerseys Online, whose ages range from 14 to 16, during a violent rampage,China NFL Jerseys, escaped from the facility. They also stormed through several communities while being armed with cutlasses and other weapons.The inmates subsequently claimed that it was the abuse by staffers that prompted the escape. They had reached a breaking point, he said.Meanwhile, a senior Ministry of Culture official had also made it clear that none of the juveniles made any such allegations to the team which had visited the centre prior to the escape.Consequently, as a result of these controversial statements, a Commission of Inquiry was formed.The five-member Board of Inquiry is being headed by former Judge Prem Persaud, and include Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport,Cheap China Jerseys, Alfred King; Senior Superintendent and Divisional Commander of ‘D’ Division, Christopher Griffith; Senior Probation Officer of Ministry of Human Services and Social Security,NCAA Basketball Jerseys, Trenetta Scott and Mr. Maydha Persaud, a retired headmaster and member of the Teaching Service Commission.Recently,Cheap Jerseys, 48 of the inmates appeared in court. Eight of the 48 were charged with arson, while 40 were arraigned for escaping from a training school. Twelve of the inmates are female.Thirteen of the juveniles pleaded guilty to escaping from the NOC, while the remaining 35 entered not guilty pleas.Sixteen of the inmates were remanded to the juvenile facility in Georgetown,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, while the rest were returned to the New Opportunity Corps.Minister Anthony had initially posited that should any staffer be found guilty of abusing the children, that person will be dealt with condignly.

Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Robert Corbin, as a matter of urgent national importance, through a motion, called on the Agriculture Minister and relevant stakeholders to reactivate the Civil Defence Commission and immediately commence the delivery of tanks of water to the flood-affected victims in the various villages along the East Coast, among other places.Corbin also reiterated his party’s call for compensation of victims of the floods which are, “already reminiscent of 2005,” adding that the Government was failing to fully accept the gravity of the situation.According to Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud, he was quite aware of some amount of relief measure in future, adding that the administration was doing everything within its capacity to alleviate the situation. He further added that the current rainfall being experienced is comparable to 2005.The minister noted recent statements emanating from some sections of society, and he called them the few who mischievously contend that the Government has learned nothing from the 2005 floods, and they were saying that Government’s activities in preparation for the rains were frantic,Cheap NFL Jerseys, last-minute, and uncoordinated.According to Persaud, “If peddling such untruths were not so dangerous at this fragile time, it would be laughably ludicrous.”Corbin failed to have the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ralph Ramkarran, allow a projector to be set up in the House, thereby allowing Corbin to show what he called flood-hit areas, such as Dazzell Housing Scheme on the East Coast of Demerara, Bee Hive and Lusignan.The minister, however, pointed out that a lot of the accumulation of water on the lands was a direct result of neglect and vandalism.He pointed specifically to the Dazzell Housing Scheme, telling the National Assembly that the Neighbourhood Democratic Council responsible for the vicinity had sold the topsoil on the dam, so that when the water in the canals rose, the canals easily overtopped.He added that the National Drainage & Irrigation Authority has since had to rebuild the dam. Persaud also responded to an assertion by Corbin that the Hope Inlet was only recently desilted by saying that the siltation process occurred at a very rapid pace at the mouth of the inlet, and that desiltation would commence close to the rainy season.He said that when desiltation was completed on one inlet, the machinery would move on to others and then return to the one that was first desilted. He noted that the most recent desiltation process at the Hope Inlet was the second in two weeks.FLOODING STILL A POSSIBILITYDuring a statement to the House, Persaud indicated that, once again, at the end of 2008, the country was faced with rainfall of a magnitude and intensity comparable to 2005; and whilst the 2005 floods underscored the need for the massive infrastructural works that Government had undertaken, contributing to significantly reduced risks, “We are still in a vulnerable position with respect to flooding along some low-lying communities on the coast, especially in Region Four.”He reported to the National Assembly that a comparison of the total rainfall accumulated for December 2008 and December 2005 demonstrates that, at several locations on the coast, the December 2008 recorded rainfall was higher.“It is as a result of the diligent and sustained efforts that the Government has made in drainage and irrigation since 2005 that we have not witnessed as widespread flooding as experienced during 2005.”The minister also pointed out that, according to the Hydrometeorological Service, the country could expect additional high intensity rain days,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, during which rainfall amounts will be between 50mm and 150mm (2ins. to 6 ins.) in 24 hours.“To put matters into perspective, it must be noted that, between December 1 and 18 this year,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, in excess of 425 mm rainfall was received at widely dispersed locations such as Better Hope, Supenaam, Capoey,Jerseys Cheap Wholesale, Wales, Georgetown, Ogle,Cheap Jerseys From China, Good Hope, Enmore and Bee Hive.”President Bharrat Jagdeo also recently lent his voice to the current rainfall situation. He noted that the projected rainfall is way beyond the current drainage capacity.According to the President, in the coming days, rain should fall at about 4.5 inches to about five inches, mainly at nights, but the drainage infrastructure could only facilitate two inches of rainfall in a given 24-hour period.Were the rain to be sustained as predicted, there will be accumulation of water, as is the case in certain sections of the country.The Head of State noted that this was why the administration currently has in excess of 50 pumps around the country to aid drainage.The drainage infrastructure in Guyana utilises gravity flow, and were the water to be heavily accumulated on the land and there were to be a high tide,Supply NFL Jerseys, then the gravity flow system could not be utilised.Jagdeo described the current situation as, “Horrific conditions occasioned by the flooding that the (affected Guyanese) are experiencing.” He acknowledged that certain sections of the country were experiencing “aspects” of flooding.He also said that Guyanese understood that, “We live below sea level, and if you have excessive rainfall,Cheap Oilers Jerseys, it will accumulate…There is nothing that could be done for us to not have accumulation.”The President also pointed out that there has been some neglect of the drainage system, as well as the excessive littering that complicates the problem. The phenomenon of accumulation of water is not new.According to the Head of State, this year much more money has been expended on drainage than in the past. “And from that spending, we have got much more in terms of work.” He said that this was because now, “We have our own capacity…we are doing the same work for half the price using our own equipment.” In the past, the dredging works would have had to be contracted out.He added also that another benefit of having one’s own capacity was the mobility, in that the equipment could be easily moved around.The President did note, however, that were the situation to become worse, he would release emergency funds. “Even now, reviewing the budget, we may be able to allocate some more money for 2009.”Almost $2B has been spent on drainage and irrigation works countrywide as reports of high indication of an active rainy season continue to unfold.Meteorological reports recently stated that this rainy season can experience at least four to five inches of rainfall within any given day, with a 50 to 60 percent probability of above-normal downpours.

Finance Minister, Winston Jordan is expected to present to the National Assembly today, the BudgetFinance Minister,Cheap Jerseys Online, Winston Jordanto cover the fiscal year.In a brief interview with Kaieteur News on Wednesday, Jordan said that the country recorded negative inflation while certain sectors failed to perform as expected. He explained that deflation,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, or negative inflation,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, happens when prices fall because the supply of goods is higher than the demand for those goods. This is usually because of a reduction in money,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, credit or consumer spending.The Finance Minister also noted that while the Natural Resources Sector initially fell under the Ministry of the Presidency, it was decided by Cabinet that it would be removed and treated as a separate entity. He said that as opposed to what took place initially, there will now be a separate appropriation for that Ministry, which will be handled by Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman.Also of note is the fact that the economy failed to reach its growth rate of 3.4 percent for 2015. Jordan confirmed that a modest estimate of two to three percent was realized. He said however that a number of reasons were blamed for this.Jordan said that apart from three sectors, which generally performed poorly, getting the economy into acceleration mode after the May 2015 elections proved to be a major challenge.“The economy after the elections was slow and this impacted the growth. The 3.4 percent growth rate was not met. We banked a lot on the Public Sector Investment Programme, which we hoped would have picked up rapidly, but many of them are still in the preliminary stages. We were faced with a number of implementation problems and as a result of this, work got underway later than projected, so the construction sector really fell down badly.”With regard to the plans for the construction sector, a number of projects were outlined. Jordan in his maiden budget speech had announced that Government intends to ensure the construction of new road links, particularly a road linking the two international airports – that provides an alternative option to the East Bank Highway; and the linking of the city and coastland to the new townships of Bartica, Mahdia and Lethem. He said, too,Cheap China Jerseys, that Government would be seeking to develop a more creative and cost-effective investment model to construct a new fixed bridge across the Demerara River.In 2015, the sum of $13 billion was allocated for enhancing the roads and bridges network throughout Guyana. In an effort to ease congestion and reduce travel time, the Government proposed urgent expansion of the East Coast Demerara Highway. Additionally,Marlon Humphrey Jersey, over $1.6 billion was budgeted for the upgrade of the Sheriff Street/Mandela Avenue Road, in order to make it a modern thoroughfare for Georgetown.Further, a total of $1.2 billion was budgeted for the completion of the East Bank Demerara Highway, which provides improved transit from Providence to Great Diamond.The Finance Minister had also disclosed Government’s plans to link the Sheriff Street/Mandela Avenue urban development to peri-urban communities. He said that Government would be investing $387 million to upgrade the Sophia “Ring Road”.Jordan had said that rural development will materialize through investments of $544 million to upgrade community roads and bridges in the 10 Administrative Regions.  Similarly, a provision of $1.2 billion was made to upgrade more than 28 km of farm-to-market access roads and bridges located in Laluni, Onverwagt, Parika and Ruby Backdams.The Finance Minister had said that Government would also construct a road link between Parika and Goshen that will provide an alternative access route to Bartica; construct all-weather roads in Regions Seven and Nine, to open new opportunities to exploit Guyana’s natural resources and upgrade internal roads in the proposed new towns of Bartica,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Mahdia and Mabaruma.Another disappointing sector identified by Jordan was Forestry. He said that the projections for this area were optimistic, but it did not perform as expected.“This sector had one of the hardest hits in recent times. We expected it to pick up but it did not. Another disappointment was the bauxite sector. That too, fell short of our expectations. But for 2015, sugar, rice and gold performed well.”In his 2015 Budget speech, Jordan noted the Forestry Sector’s performance in 2014 and the problems and issues encountered in the sector. Based on those concerns, he said that the Government would undertake a thorough review of the Investment Agreements for this sector to ensure that there is compliance with Regulations and the Agreements and to ensure sustainable harvesting of the forestry product.He noted that the original projection in January 2015, was for the 2014 production levels to be sustained. However, forestry production was down by 9.8 percent in mid 2015. As a consequence, the sector’s performance for 2015 was downgraded from January’s projection of zero growth to a negative 1.3 percent.As for the early projections for growth in bauxite, it was pegged at a 10.3 percent recovery, in 2015. This was after two consecutive years of decline in 2013 and 2014. Strengthening of world market demand and prices were the key premises informing this projection.Output was targeted at 1,754 thousand tonnes, up from the 1,564 thousand, in 2014. Jordan recalled that not unlike what was earlier seen in the other sectors, output at midway point in 2015 of 747,542 tonnes was actually 14.8 percent below the first half production in 2014.As a consequence, total output was scaled back to a more realistic 1,635 thousand tonnes, predominated by the lower value grades of bauxite. This represents a negative growth for 2015 of 5.7 percent.Jordan however projected a three to four percent growth for 2016.

Minister within the Ministry of Finance Juan Edghill has said that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has become one of Guyana’s main external financiers in developmental projects.The minister made the disclosure on Monday while giving remarks at the closing ceremony for the Modernization of the Justice Administration System Project.That project which lasted for about six years was funded by the IDB.  “Today as it stands,College Jerseys, whether it’s for infrastructural development as we would have seen with this project and others,NFL Jerseys Cheap, the IDB is our main development partner,” Edghill said.He told Kaieteur News that this has become the reality between government and the IDB adding that the IDB is currently financing several projects around Guyana.According to the minister, some of the projects are in the area of agriculture, security and public works. Edghill asserted that the partnership is highly appreciated by the Government of Guyana.In the future he said that it is anticipated that Guyana will rely less on support from the World Bank,Cheap Jerseys From China, DFID and CIDA whose programs are being gradually reduced. At the same time, there has been an increase in foreign aid from new players such as India,Andre Smith Jersey, China and the PetroCaribe fund.Additionally, new revenues from oil related production and arbor finance are also possible,Wholesale Jerseys China, but in the meantime the IDB will continue to play a major part in the country’s external financing.The IDB support efforts by Latin America and the Caribbean countries to reduce poverty and inequality.

There are more than 773 million young people and adults around the world who cannot read, according to the United Nations. Worldwide, at least 250 million children of primary school age cannot read,Cheap Stitched Jerseys, write or count. Two-thirds of them are women.United Nations senior officials highlighted the role of literacy in achieving a more sustainable future, stressing that knowledge can help combat poverty and improve people’s livelihoods.“In our knowledge-based era, literacy is a foundation for a more just, inclusive and sustainable world,Stitched Canada NBA Jerseys,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his message for World Literacy Day.Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon“Literacy enables people to gain access to information to improve their health and nutrition, widen their livelihood options,Brent Seabrook Jersey, cope with environmental change and make informed choices,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said on the Day,Cheap Jerseys, observed annually on September 8.Mr. Ban underlined the importance of investing in education, noting this is an investment in human dignity, development and peace.“I urge all countries to make education and literacy national priorities and to work with partners across society to advance these goals. By promoting literacy, we can help millions of people write their own chapter of opportunity in their lives and our common future.”The latest data from the UN Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Institute for Statistics shows that most of the world’s illiterate adults live in South and West Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.Illiteracy also remains a persistent problem in developed countries, with UNESCO data showing that one in five young people in Europe had poor literacy skills in 2009, and some 160 million adults in countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and development (OECD) are functionally illiterate, which means that they do not have the skills needed to function in today’s environments such as the ability to fill out forms,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, follow instructions, read a map, or help with their children with homework.This year’s theme for the Day is “Literacies for the 21st century,Ben Chiarot Jersey,” chosen to highlight the evolving range of literacy skills required to full participate in today’s connected societies.“Literacy is the first condition for dialogue, communication and integration into new connected societies,” said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova in her message for the Day.“Young people need new skills to enter and succeed in the job market: knowledge of several languages, understanding of cultural diversity, lifelong learning.

Ramjattan tells Berbicians…Alliance for Change (AFC) Presidential hopeful, Khemraj Ramjattan urged Berbicians on a Live television programme on Saturday evening to move forward and not fall prey to the ethnic voting patterns of the past.“We cannot have changes if we have the same voting patterns. You can’t have something different by doing the same thing all the time”,Barcelona Jerseys, he posited. He urged Berbicians not to “reward incompetence or bring back the PNC from a time when they did serious things too,” like the Constitution that the PPP now uses.“Let a new generation of compassionate leaders in this country be allowed to lead”. While acknowledging developments under both the PPP and PNC, he noted that Guyana should have been a far more developed country than it is today.On the point of issuing new TV and radio stations, Ramjattan said that the PNC did not grant radio licenses while in government either. “From ’64- ’92, they [the PNC] did not grant any radio licenses, too,Custom Juventus Jerseys, did they?”Speaking about the Ministry of Education Computer contract and holding up a copy of the front page of last Thursday’s edition of this newspaper,Ander Herrera Jersey, Mr. Ramjattan said “the issue of an expensive computer cut” is very topical now and that it [the article] was a “vindication of what we’ve been talking all along, and that has to do with the corruption of this government”.“Here it is a person is supplying $300M worth of computer equipment. Their company was only two years old (formed in 2009) and what the Glen Lall team of Kaieteur News along with Mr. Adam Harris…wanted to find out was whether this was legitimately and meritoriously awarded, and they wanted to question those ministers who were involved in the grant of that contract”, he said. He noted that “they [Ministers Baksh and Singh] could not bear up the questioning that came from the reporters…  “Minister Baksh indicated that although it was a two- year- old company that was getting this big award, he felt this company should have been granted the award because of their previous history…7, 8 years ago that company was getting contracts, $39M in contracts in 2002”. He noted that they [the AFC] went and “checked the records and found that the company being born in 2009 could not have been in existence in 2002.” He further added that when they checked the age of the youngsters that formed the company, “in 2002 he would have been 18 plus, being awarded a $39M contract, as to how the award was made, we don’t know. But we have indicated that these things have been done in a fashion making us very, very suspicious. But more than that, checks were made  as to where the computers are going to come from and it was found that that address turns out to be a barber shop owned by two, I think, Mexican immigrants that went to the United States”, Ramjattan said.He added that when the two ministers were being asked to look at two documents the reporters were showing them “to prove that their [the ministers] answers were not accurate, they (the ministers) “just simply tell the reporters, ‘we don’t want to see the documents’”.“Our impoverishment is as a result of the revenues being squandered in this very corrupt fashion and of course, this corruption is eating up the sinews, the muscles of this country…making us weak”, Ramjattan noted.The politician accused the government of “fool you” (Guyanese) with concerts.“I see they’re having big concerts, get the chutney singers from Trinidad and so on,Alex Sandro Jersey, to go and probably cajole them back into their fold”. He said that Guyanese “have gotten smart; they can’t just go and cajole them simply with rum and wine and chutney; it’s not going to work”. Ramjattan said that “Guyanese know that after they go home back,Anthony Martial Jersey, after that rum and wine and chutney is $1,500 a day they work,Bayern Munich Jerseys, and they can’t mind pickney and wife with that”.Touching on the recent re- opening of the Claims and Objections Period, Ramjattan accused the government of “coming at the eleventh hour” and “we feel that they’re creating the conditions that the 28th [of] December deadline can’t be reached!”.He said that the AFC is very troubled and disturbed about it and had hoped that the PNC too would have objected to the law that opens the period once more, but that they did not. “That is atrocious behaviour, two sides of the same coin”, he noted.Khemraj RamjattanHe feels that it is too “tight a call to make, at this eleventh hour to reopen the thing”. He accused the PPP and PNC of wanting an extension and questioned in whose interest it was to extend the period. “Some people in the PNC wanted an extension in the term too because they doing very badly on the ground. They now gone and change their name. Which strong party like them will have that lack of confidence in changing their names and symbol? It is because they are doing badly”. He feels the extension could make people angry about an election not being held. “We feel it is a little trickery to extend the life of the government beyond the five years”.Ramjattan said that “we want a culture whereby the people will have transport over the parties” and not the other way around. He alluded to Barbados’ situation whereby “whenever the government misbehaves, out they go!” and Owen Arthur’s exit of office because of statements he made in office.He said there is no place for arrogance in the government ministries. “You must not have arrogance in your ministries. We have them here.”He said ministers ought to be servants of the people,Custom Barcelona Jerseys, “but in Guyana, they feel ‘abbey them slave’”. Ramjattan said that people’s minds are changing and that they are realizing they have to make better choices to enjoy a better life in Guyana.Mr. Ramjattan held several meetings at Topoo, Fyrish, Tain, on the Corentyne during the weekend. Other political leaders from the PPP and APNU also held public meetings and courted the Berbicians for their votes on Saturday and Sunday.

Chronic diseases have not received the attention they deserve globally as the investment in the fight against these diseases nationally and globally has been very poor.This is according to Minister of Health,Andre Gomes Jersey, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, who noted that no country in the world is investing the kind of resources needed.He said that the Global Alliance to promote health has not recognised the importance of investment in chronic diseases.It is in this regard that Minister Ramsammy has been consistent in his call for a Millennium Development Goal (MDG) plus because Chronic Diseases have been left out in the MDGs.Currently,Custom Manchester United Jerseys, there is a universal call on the United Nations to remedy that flaw in the MDG. “And indeed through the efforts of the WHO and through the efforts of the other organisations, there is an aggressive call to the United Nations that the MDGs should be amended to have indicators for chronic diseases.”Minister Ramsammy said that Guyana has been making its own investments and efforts to scale up its activities from a prevention,Cheap Bayern Munich Jersey, diagnosis and treatment perspective.He revealed that the chronic disease registry is now well established with close to 7,Juventus Jerseys,000 persons living with diabetes have been registered.This registry, he said,Anthony Martial Jersey, informs the Health Ministry on whether or not these persons are on treatment.Data for the year 2006 indicated that ischemic heart disease accounted for 12.1 percent of deaths in Guyana, while cervicascular disease accounted for 10 percent, diabetes 8.8 per cent, cancer 8.1 percent, hypertensive diseases 4.7 percent, heart failure 3.4 percent and HIV accounted for 5.9 percent of the deaths in Guyana.Data have not been released for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, as the Health Ministry is still in the process of verifying death certificates.Meanwhile, as it relates to the diabetes issue,Bayern Munich Jerseys, the Health Minister explained that there are presently foot care programmes in the Primary Health Care system. There are 26 health facilities in Guyana that offer foot care programmes where screening of certain kinds of foot problems occur.“It is for this reason that we invested in establishing a referral system at Georgetown Hospital. It has the technology and is being operated by trained people.”By next year, Dr. Ramsammy said that there would be more than 50 health facilities in Guyana that will provide screening.The Health Ministry has embarked on a public awareness campaign to teach citizens to examine their feet. Because of this,Cheap Manchester United Jersey, there has been a 63 percent reduction of amputation in Guyana in the last two years.

– Workers’ Union PresidentAlthough moves have been made towards restructuring of the University of Guyana, there is still need for clear direction.This is according to President of the University of Guyana Workers’ Union (UGWU), Bruce Haynes, who was at the time addressing a recent press conference, held at the University’s Turkeyen Campus.During that forum, Haynes disclosed that despite efforts made to embark on restructuring, through the Trevor Hamilton and Associates Review which is currently ongoing,Cheap Bayern Munich Jersey, “we still don’t have a sense in terms of a clear direction that we are going in.”On March 16, 2012, the University of Guyana and Trevor Hamilton and Associates of Jamaica signed an eight-month contract, under which the latter was tasked with conducting a consultancy titled: ‘Review and Enhancement of the Regulatory Framework for the Improvement of Operations at the University of Guyana’.With funding from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the consultancy was aimed at enhancing the university’s capacity to carry out its daily operations and to boost its effectiveness to function as a national tertiary education institution in the 21st Century.But this has not yet materialised,Alex Sandro Jersey, Haynes said, even in light of the fact that the University recently appointed a new Vice Chancellor in the person of Professor Jacob Opadeyi, who according to him, has not thus far had “an opportunity to become embroiled in all the things that would have transpired before” at the institution.The University’s union and its Senior Staff Association have recently been lamenting the appalling state of affairs at the Turkeyen campus, ranging from late payment of salaries to deplorable infrastructure. In fact the workers,Ander Herrera Jersey, since Monday, commenced a picket exercise.Haynes noted that although Professor Opadeyi would have arrived on the scene with a different perspective and has been exercising same “it hasn’t basically gone down well due to the fact that he inherited an intractable situation where we are not sure how much this university needs to run its business and do it efficiently.”And even as he alluded to his belief that “there is so much work that is required to really turn this university around”, Haynes pointed to the unfortunate fact that the scope that is necessary for any review to take place is simply not there.This dilemma he attributed to “too much interference.”“The university needs less interference. It needs space and space has been denied it,Bayern Munich Jerseys,” said Haynes, who also amplified the institution’s need for financial resources.According to him, what the university has been desiring for some time is financial input whereby “someone out there says ‘look you don’t know clearly what are the problems, but at least we understand that to keep you afloat you need the necessary finance and we are prepared to give you the necessary scope to do just that…’”Moreover, he insists that “we have a lot of resources and we can use those resources to turn this university around,Custom Juventus Jerseys, but someone has to trust us; someone has to give us the resources to do so.”Added to that,Cheap Barcelona Jersey, Haynes noted that the university should be allowed to review itself while at the same time seeking to effectively manage itself in such a way that there are no more unneeded disruptions.“This has not been the case, so we continue to go down. There is no clear direction and we need direction and that direction has to come from the Vice Chancellor,” the UGWU President affirmed.He said that what has been critical is that “from the inception the Vice Chancellor had not thought it fit to make a presentation to us” but rather has started his work without making clear his intended direction.However, this assertion by the Union president may not be entirely accurate, since the Vice Chancellor at a public forum not only announced plans for the generation of funds, but also outlined an ambitious proposal to help improve the infrastructure and the quality of programmes and lecturers,Andrea Barzagli Jersey, among other crucial facets.“We need to know what direction he is taking this university.How are we going to come out of this unfortunate situation? How much support is he getting?  Where is he getting that support from?Who can he trust to ensure that he is going to be given the necessary support no matter what is taking place?” Haynes asked emphatically.He said too that even if it is through a review by the CDB, the systems needed to be put in place at the university will not be possible “unless we have very clear directives so that we all will know where we are going and what are the possibilities that will come out from that and the outcomes that are so necessary for us to move on as an institution”.It is also the conviction of Haynes that UG at the moment does not get the desired respect from its stakeholders.He stressed that respect is especially important since the university is a national institution.

Nigerian-born Dr Jacob Opadeyi has been officially named Vice Chancellor to the University of Guyana. The announcement came after a Council meeting at the University yesterday which saw the Trinidad-based lecturer being approved at the level of the Council for the high-profile position.Dr Jacob OpadeyiSince Friday,Barcelona Jerseys, a Search Committee had identified Dr Opadeyi as the best suited candidate for the post from a list of four who were shortlisted.He will effectively fill the void left by former Vice Chancellor Professor Lawrence Carrington who proceeded on end-of-contract leave on February 6, 2012. Carrington had assumed duty at the University on April 1, 2009.This publication was informed that the decision will be formally announced today at a press conference.Dr Opadeyi’s selection was made by the University’s Search Committee made up of a total of seven individuals,Manchester United Jerseys, including representatives of the Government,Juventus Jerseys, Opposition,Andrea Barzagli Jersey, the University and the Education Ministry. However,Custom Manchester United Jerseys, that Committee did not have the final say on the appointment but rather the University’s Council which yesterday approved the selection.Reports reaching this publication subsequent to the selection were that the choice of the 59-year-old lecturer had raised concern among many at the Turkeyen Campus,Cheap Barcelona Jersey, despite him being the holder of laudable credentials. Dr Opadeyi holds a Ph.D in Surveying and Engineering and an Executive Masters in Business Administration.“He cannot offer the University anything and if his appointment is approved it would mean that those responsible do not have the university’s best interest at heart,” said one official who requested anonymity.The award-winning Dr Opadeyi was among the four shortlisted from a list of 19 individual who had applied for the post.  There are concerns that the Search Committee might have overlooked one of the most suitable candidates for the position in the person of Dr Jaipaul Singh of the University of Central Lancashire. Also shortlisted were Dr Muniram Boodhoo and Dr Rory Fraser, both of whom, along with Dr Singh,Cheap Manchester United Jersey, are Guyanese nationals and overseas-tenured academics.The process of selection for the new Vice Chancellor has been touted as one of the most thorough in the 49-year history of the local university.

Professor Daizal SamadThe new Director of the University of Guyana’s Berbice Campus, Professor Daizal Samad, is promising revolutionary changes.He not only wants to make the programmes offered on campus more relevant to the needs of the national economy and that of the country, he also wants Berbicians to benefit from the university. And among his plans is a plan to teach elderly Berbicians how to read and write.The University of Guyana Council appointed Professor Samad as the new Director of the Berbice Campus on November 1. He was born in Berbice, and returned to the country after holding stints in Africa and the Middle East.After successfully reading for a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from the University of Guyana,Andrea Barzagli Jersey, Samad received a full scholarship to the University of New Brunswick, Canada, where he successfully read for his Masters in English, and later his Ph.D. in English, also from the University of New Brunswick.He went on to work as Associate Professor of English and Literature at St. Thomas University in Canada, and later took up an appointment as Associate Professor at the National University of Malaysia,Barcelona Jerseys, where he taught for five years.A new opportunity then took him to the Al Akhawayan University in Morocco, where he served as Professor of English Language and Literature Studies. Later, he worked as Senior Advisor and Educational Expert at the Ministry of Higher Education, Sultanate of Oman.Professor Samad has five books and 22 published papers to his credit.After his stint in the Middle East, Professor Samad said,Arturo Vidal Jersey, he decided to heed the urgings of his relatives back home to do something for Guyana. So, after taking a two-year break from work,Anthony Martial Jersey, he decided to start looking up opportunities in Guyana. One of the persons he contacted was the Minister within the Ministry of Education, Dr Desrey Fox, with whom he had worked at the University of Guyana’s Amerindian Affairs Unit more than 30 years ago.After discussions with other Government officials, Professor Samad decided to move to Guyana and join the University of Guyana. Since there was construction work ongoing onsite at the Turkeyen Campus, and with no teaching being done, he decided to use his time to design a strategic planning engine for the university.He also compiled a student advisory handbook, something which was non-existent.“Student advising has become one of the most important aspects of universities around the world,” he said, when he sat down for an interview with Kaieteur News last week.Given the vacancy that existed at the Berbice Campus for a director,Alex Sandro Jersey, he was invited to take up the appointment, and he gladly accepted.Revolutionary changesProfessor Samad wants to make the Berbice Campus completely functional, and to address the many challenges it faces.Among his first priorities is to address what he deemed the “shocking decrease” in admissions.“You should always see an increase in student enrollment, not a decrease,” he declared. With enrollment at the campus at just over 400, Professor Samad said, the situation is “nothing short of a disaster.”He will, this month, set about meeting with head-teachers of schools in Regions Five and Six. He also wants to meet with fourth and fifth form students and provide them with information on the programmes the university offers.One of the solutions he sees in making students more comfortable is for the campus to have an “Internet presence.” What he wants is for student assignments, lesson notes and other helpful information to be readily available online.Also, Samad wants the university to offer programmes that the community demands, rather than the university determining what programmes the students should take up. What he means is that the university should be geared towards addressing the employment needs of Berbice and the country as a whole.Towards this end, he wants to see many more students taking up Agriculture.Samad said that, from initial discussions he has had with parents, they seem to balk at the idea of their children studying Agriculture, since there is a misguided notion that Agriculture means work in the fields.His task is to change that perception and get more students to accept Agriculture as a scholarly area of study, given the mainstay role agriculture plays in the national economy and the drive now to expand agriculture to meet the food demands of the local and export markets, namely the Caribbean.Samad has complaints, too,Custom Manchester United Jerseys, about the teaching staff. The campus has 30 lecturers on a full time basis. With some lecturers having to travel from outside of the country, he said, this proves inefficient, since many are tired before they get to theclassroom. Also, he said, the teaching staff is under-qualified, and he plans to fill the gaps by conducting workshop sessions with them and encourage them to do research in education teaching.To address the need for more qualified lecturers, Samad is looking to introduce a consistent programme of inviting visiting lecturers from universities in the Diaspora to spend their sabbatical years on campus.He also wants to hold workshops with fourth and fifth form students to better enable them to deliver their curriculum.Samad is also looking at improving student life, by sprucing up the physical image of the campus and by enlisting the help of nearby community centres for recreational and sports activities.“There is no need to use money to build facilities on campus when you have so many facilities close by,” he said.In addition, Samad insists that with all the goodwill from the private sector, there can be a robust internship pogramme implemented to provide students with opportunities for work.The new Director of the Berbice Campus also wants the communities surrounding the campus to benefit from its existence.“There are some bright people cutting cane,” he declared,Manchester United Jerseys, making the point for classes for adults at the campus.His objective also is to bring in for literacy classes adults who cannot read and write, even is they might shy away from the thought of, “…dah university, me can’t guh deh!”Who will teach them? Samad sees a role in this for the students of the university. He said this will accrue to their own benefit, since they will have a solid record of community service.With these plans, Samad hopes to renew enthusiasm in Berbice about the university campus there, the same enthusiasm that greeted its establishment eight years ago.

General Secretary of the Guyana Trade Union Congress, Lincoln Lewis, believes that a multiplicity of media houses could never translate into freedom of press where only close friends to the Government dominate the airwaves.As such, citizens need to mount pressure by taking to the streets the struggle to have those licences revoked since Government is unmoved about the unfair granting of radio and cable licences by former President Bharrat Jagdeo.Lewis expressed that sentiment on a live television call-in programme on Thursday. He had shared the stage with social activist and columnist Frederick Kissoon. The moderator was Dale Andrews ofTrade Unionist Lincoln Lewis, social activist Frederick Kissoon and Dale Andrews of Kaieteur News on live call-in programme.Kaieteur News.Lewis said that the granting of the licences by Jagdeo before leaving Office was,Andre Gomes Jersey, by extension, an action of the People’s Progressive Party. As such, the only recourse citizens have is to take the struggle to the streets. This, he opined, will cause Government to relent but, of course, it will find a way to fight back.Jagdeo awarded his best friend, Dr. Ranjisinghi ‘Bobby’ Ramroop five radio frequencies; New Guyana Company Limited, five; and Telcor and Cultural Broadcasting Inc another five.Telcor’s director is Ruth Baljit, who happens to be the sister of Minister Robert Persaud.New Guyana Company publishes the party’s newspaper,Cheap Bayern Munich Jersey, Mirror. The contact person is PPP Member of Parliament (MP), Dharamkumar Seeraj. Jagdeo also gave two cable licences to two of his closest friends,Manchester United Jerseys, Vishok Persaud and Brian Yong.Lewis also took a swipe at the Opposition and some in civil society who he claimed aided and abetted Jagdeo’s abominable behaviour over the years.  He said that the issuance of the licences touches the core of society where persons elected believe that they are above the Constitution.“Jagdeo’s behaviour has been abominable over the years. This is a man who did as he liked. And people believe and argue that the constitution and the laws can’t hold this man accountable over the years,Custom Barcelona Jerseys,” he stressed.Lewis is of the opinion that from the outset the Opposition should have challenged that concept in Court to rein in Jagdeo. But, even prominent lawyers accepted the perception that the President is above the constitution but that is not written in the Constitution, he added.The Trade Unionist contended that if the recipients of the licences are law abiding citizens,Cheap Juventus Jersey, they should return them because those frequencies were granted illegally.He said that the current Opposition allowed Government to appoint 95 percent of the board of the Broadcasting Authority while only having a five percent input. That composition in itself is not equal since Government would select friends and supporters.According to Lewis, the Opposition must use its majority in the National Assembly to benefit the society.Kissoon, expressing similar expectations of the Opposition parties, said that A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change should seek to amend the Broadcasting Act in the National Assembly.While, Lewis believes that Government will relent once citizens take the struggle to the streets, Kissoon does not expect any radicalism from the Opposition Parties. Kissoon said that the parties are hedging their bets,Custom Manchester United Jerseys, shaping their policies and manicuring their political fingernails for the future elections.“They believe their combined strength can defeat the PPP at the polls. They are afraid of radical consequences because they feel it will affect their electoral chances. What you have in Parliament now is critical support,Cheap Manchester United Jersey,” he added.According to the social activist, President Donald Ramotar, even though still General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic, should not be brought into the equation since he is an appendage of Jagdeo.Kissoon said that Ramotar has limited political skills and his tenure in office will end as a footnote President.
