By Abena RockcliffeA Partnership for National Unity (APNU) is convinced that the Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, who is alsoMinister of Home Affairs, Clement RoheeGeneral Secretary and Elections Campaign Manager of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP),Brad Kaaya Jersey, has too much on his plate and is, as a result, not effectively carrying out his public servant duties.This view was reflected by APNU Leader David Granger and the coalition’s Shadow Minister of Home Affairs, Winston Felix.During separate interviews,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey UK, the two officials said that Rohee’s division of himself has left the public holding the less attractive end of the stick. This was said as they addressed the fact that there has been a spate of murders in recent days.Granger told the media that while Rohee, the Minister responsible for the Guyana Police Force (GPF) is busy “running around looking for birth certificates” a number of Guyanese citizens are being killed.Felix, on the other hand, said that over the past few weeks he has been listening to Rohee’s “ramblings” each time he hosts PPP’s press conferences, but has noticed that the Minister doesn’t pay as much attention to his Ministerial portfolio as he does to his Party duties.The Former Top Cop told the media that Rohee has instead been putting all his time and energy towards picking on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the political parties.Felix pointed out that Rohee “became extremely ridiculous by suggesting that if Granger doesn’t want to see the misuse of state funds he should give up his constitutionally-provided facilities.”The Member of Parliament rubbished that comment and said that Rohee, being paid as Minister of Home Affairs, is a complete waste of taxpayers’ money as “while he is wasting time being the ‘other GECOM Chairman’ we have people being murdered.”Felix was at the time referring to the fact that on Tuesday, the media reported on two different murders and a case where a Zeelugt,Cheap Jerseys 2018, East Bank Essequibo family was forced to abort their home as a result of high crime in the area.The APNU MP said that all the while,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, “Rohee is absent from duty.”He pointed out that the Minister made no public statement to comfort the Guyanese people neither did he have a meetingAPNU Leader,Cheap Jerseys From China, Brigadier David Grangerwith the acting Top Cop to see how best the situation can be addressed.Felix, a former Police Commissioner, said that he has been able to point out that the Police Force is under tremendous pressure and that there is a manpower problem. He said that this is obvious since there have been a reduced amount of ranks deployed for the Christmas campaign as compared to previous years.He said that a strategy must be put in place to attract recruits and these are things that the Minister needs to focus on.? “He has to decide which one he is better performing,Cheap NFL Jerseys,” said Felix.The Shadow Minister then called on Rohee to address sensible policies to protect the interests of the Guyanese public.“The public wants to be protected by Police who are trained to patrol, investigate, solve crimes and yet interact with them in a friendly and intelligent manner…We demand a higher standard of operation from the Minister.”Felix suggested that Rohee should just step down and focus on his campaign if he knows he cannot manage all his portfolios effectively.

Another gold miner was killed following the second ATV accident in the North West District (NWD) within three days.Brazilian Joaodo Deus Silva, 46,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, of Port Kaituma, is the latest victim.He died on Sunday,last, hours after he crashed the all terrain vehicle he was riding.His death followed that of another miner Deon Fernandes, 28,Wholesale China NFL Jerseys, of Mabaruma, who perished on Friday after he too crashed an ATV at Baramita, NWD.Police said that around 10:00 hours on Sunday,Cheap Jerseys Online, Silva was driving an ATV along the roadway at Jonestown, Port Kaituma,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, when he lost control of the vehicle which turned over several times.As a result he and the pillion rider Winston Bernard, 22,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, of Port Kaituma, received injuries.They were both taken to the Port Kaituma Hospital where Silva was pronounced dead on arrival,NFL Jerseys 2018, while Bernard was treated and sent away.Investigations are in progress.

The Guyana Fire Service has been operating in overdrive mode in recent weeks with much of its manpower being focused on battling grass fires. Many of these grass fires are the result of persons starting them and then leaving them unattended.Fire Chief,Mr. Marlon GentleThis state of affairs is especially troubling to Fire Chief Marlon Gentle, who in an invited comment, yesterday, told this publication,Cheap Jerseys Paypal, that while Guyana isn’t known for having a fire season per se, “This however seems to be a period when many people start to get careless.”He acknowledged that there have been many grass fires and bush fires some of which have resulted in damage to property.“These fires have been damaging people’s fences, damaging people’s bridges; they have burn a couple of utilities poles too,” informed the Fire Chief.“People should desist from burning, especially in these open vegetations, and leave them unattended; they can use other means of clearing their lands. People are burning their grasslands so that fresh grass could grow for their cattle and so on…If they have to do this…this is really not the time for that because of this dry weather,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys,” said Gentle.He added that at the locations where a number of these fires occur there is limited access to water. The water levels of canals within proximity have become depleted due to the prevailing dry weather pattern.“People have to be very cautious because these fires could get out of hand easily and spread to buildings in some cases,NFL Jerseys Outlet,” asserted the Fire Chief.He said that an investigation into a recent fire at Crane Housing Scheme,Cheap MLB Jerseys China, West Coast Demerara that destroyed a two-flat house was able to confirm that it was caused by a lighted kerosene stove that was left unattended.? The stove was situated in the kitchen of the bottom flat of the Lot 75 Crane Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara domicile.The fire, which occurred in the wee hours of Friday last, has left four persons homeless including Patrick Whyte and his reputed wife,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, Camille Daniels, who resided in the upper flat. Two tenants resided in the bottom flat.When the Fire Service arrived on the scene of the recent fire, strategic tactics were employed to help contain the fire since there was no chance of saving the building. There were some criticisms regarding the response time of the Fire Service.Gentle, during an earlier interview with this publication, assured that the Fire Service when summoned is usually able to respond as efficiently as possible.“I think that we have been doing our job. We cannot undo what was already done prior to arriving. Remember,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, a fire has to start before the fire service is alerted,” Gentle asserted.He had, even then, pointed out that because fire engines cannot respond swiftly with their capacity volume of water, there is a crucial need for firefighters to make use of waterways in the areas where fires occur. On the morning of the recent fire, firefighters were seen trying to access water from a nearby gutter.But according to Gentle, there are times when the available water sources are inaccessible. He therefore emphasised the need for efforts to be made to examine the location of water sources.“When these canals are at the back of a house how can people get to them? We can’t drive a truck through a dam or a house to access the canals there, and that is a limitation in itself to our firefighting efforts. I think people believe we can run a long hose about 40 feet away…These things have limitations and so we have to be close to access these canals.”He noted that while the efforts were made to invest in tankers, these are located close to fire stations, and he explained, “You can’t send a tanker (full with water) till over the river or till from Leonora. What time will it reach? Those tankers are very heavy…We wouldn’t send them long distances and run the risk of getting them into an accident,” he informed.

Two separate early morning accidents on the main East Coast Demerara Highway yesterday, has left a 53-year old man dead and a 12 year old boy in a critical condition at the intensive care unit of the Georgetown Hospital.Dead: Balkissoon Bipta Balkissoon Bipta of Lusignan was killed on the spot after being struck down by a speeding car on the Lusignan Public Road around 07:10 hours yesterday.Police stated that their investigations have revealed that motor car PKK 1656,wholesale nfl jerseys, driven by Kennard Liverpool of Belladrum,Cheap Jerseys USA, West Coast Berbice was proceeding east on the northern side of the road when Bipta who was riding a pedal cycle proceeding in the same direction but on the opposite side suddenly turned into the path of the car and was struck down.Bipta, the caretaker of the Lusignan Community Centre Ground sustained a gaping wound to his right side and parts of his body were seen on the parapet where the accident occurred and on the front ode of the badly damaged car.But eyewitness reports indicated that the driver may have been the errant party.And judging from the wound on the right side of Bipta’s body,J.R.

Ow me God!” cried his sister,China Jerseys, Chandrapattie Kanhai.She said that she was at home when a man came and told her that Bipta was struck down by a car.According to Kanhai, she inquired if her brother was dead and was answered in the affirmative.Eyewitnesses initially believed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol since they reported that he fell while marking the spot where the accident occurred.Critical: Vivekanand RudradeoHowever, police conducted a breathalyzer test and found that he was below the prescribed limit.And earlier yesterday morning,Josh Manson, 12-year old Vivekanand Rudradeo, of lot 1Ogle Airstrip road was taking his usual early morning ride with his father around 05:30a.m when a car struck them both from behind and sped away.The two injured persons were assisted by public spirited persons to seek medical attention at the Georgetown Hospital, where Vivekanand Rudradeo was immediately admitted.This newspaper understands that the child who is scheduled to attend his first day at secondary school next week is in a critical condition suffering from head injuries.Unfortunately for the driver,NFL Jerseys Outlet, the police have been able to retrieve his licence plate bearing the serial number PKK 5274 which fell off as a result of the accident.However, so far he has not been arrested. Bipta’s death has taken the road fatality figure on the East Coast of Demerara to nine.

Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson yesterday refused bail to a man who appeared in her court for impersonating a police rank.It is alleged that on June 13,Adidas Mike Ribeiro Jersey, last,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, Leon Thomas impersonated a police rank. He approached Nezam Khan and Subesh Sam telling them that he was a police officer,Wholesale China Jerseys, knowing his claims to be false.The 32-year-old Thomas, who lives at 54 Lime and Bent Streets, was not required to plead.The court was told that Khan and Sam accidentally rode into the accused with a motorcycle.As a result,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, a few eggs which were in Thomas’s hand bag broke.At that point, Thomas went up to the two men and told them that he was a police officer and that he did not want to take them to the police station.Thomas allegedly told the men that the matter could be settled if they were willing to ‘pass something’.It was further stated in the court that a city constable who happened to be in the area knew the accused well and arrested him for the act.Police Prosecutor,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, Munilall Seetaram,Cheap NFL Jerseys, asked that bail be refused since the accused has a similar matter pending in court.Seetaram told the court that Thomas was charged for impersonating a city constable and was out on bail.

When a fire destroyed three homes at Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara last Friday,Claudio Bravo Chile Jersey, Jermaine Josiah, one of the victims, faced added trouble when he was allegedly attacked by two residents who believed he started the blaze.Josiah related to Kaieteur News, his version of events leading up to the fire and his subsequent thrashing,Wholesale China Jerseys, allegedly by an off duty policeman and the rank’s cousin.Josiah said that he retired to bed around 21:30 hrs on Thursday. Around 1:30 hrs the follow day, “My nose began to burn,” and the room appeared to be unusually hot.Josiah said when he opened his eyes, the room was filled with smoke, and he observed that smoke was coming up from the apartment downstairs.“When I got to my landing, me whole bedroom I was sleeping in fell into the downstairs apartment,” recalled Josiah,Cheap Football Jerseys, who said he jumped from his upper flat stairway to safety.Once on the ground,China Jerseys Cheap, the man said he then went to an outdoor tap and filled a basin with water.“When I get de basin with de water and I push open de downstairs door, the fire and heat was too much. So I just drop the basin. I couldn’t do nothing; the whole downstairs in fire.”Josiah said he left the yard and was standing at the fence with his hands on his head, in a “stupidy” state.It was at this point he said,Cheap NFL Authentic Jerseys, that a police rank ran out of his house, broke a pipe and started to ‘spray’ the burning building. Josiah reportedly told the rank not to waste time spraying his (Josiah’s) house as it was already engulfed in flames.Rather, he suggested to the cop that he should douse his own house in a bid to prevent the flames from spreading.Josiah said the policeman called him, and he assumed that the rank wanted help, so he went to him.Instead, Josiah alleged that the policeman began to assault him. And a cousin of the rank joined in.Josiah said a police patrol arrived and subdued the rank. The policemen then questioned him in relation to what happened.The injured man said that he was then taken to Ruimveldt Police Station and placed in handcuffs. He said he was then told he would have to wait on ranks from the Criminal Investigation Department, as they would be looking into the matter.Around 12:00hrs the ranks from Ruimveldt’s CID branch took Josiah’s statement. He claimed he was not allowed to seek medical attention and forced to sit in his blood-stained clothes while he waited for the CID ranks.But Josiah said after giving the statement, he was still detained at the Ruimveldt Police Station. He added that his relatives came to the station to enquire why police had detained him,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, rather than the rank who had assaulted him.These questions got no response from ranks on duty at the time, the injured man related. However, Kaieteur News was told that the policeman who allegedly assaulted Josiah claimed that Josiah had caused his home to go up in flames.Josiah said his relatives then left to purchase him a meal and upon their return, a sergeant at Ruimveldt Station gave them a Police Medical Form and told them to take him to the hospital. This was some 12 hours after he was taken into custody.Josiah said he is at a loss to say why he was detained for such a long period. He added it would seem that the ranks at Ruimveldt Police Station were not being impartial, as the complaint was against a fellow colleague.

By Dr Glenville AshbyOn the heels of “The Confidence Men,” “The Brief Against Obama,” and a slew of anti-Obama books, talk show host and political correspondent, Bill Press, pens a definitive and measured account of the forces behind the invective against the 44th president of the US.Press’ work, “The Obama Hate Machine,” is in some ways, historical – as he meanders through the past – identifying other US Heads of State who have been verbally battered, misrepresented, and railroaded. This historical foray- the book’s introduction – is the strength of Press’ offering, and an educational treatise in itself.It is integral to its thematic underpinning – that any president who challenges big business,Cheap Jerseys China, i.e., corporate big wigs and industrialists,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, becomes fair play for a well-oiled and well-financed machine. In other words, Obama’s woes are not uncommon.The author compares the challenges of Franklin Roosevelt with Obama. Roosevelt’s Neal Deal, aimed at tackling the Great Depression with bigger government via infrastructure development, Social Security, and other federally backed financial safety nets,NFL Jerseys From China, drew the ire of many – in particular – the Du Ponts and the American Liberty League. Roosevelt fought back with political bombast and weathered the attacks – a trait, Obama is yet to display.In eerie fashion, Obama, like Roosevelt – has become the target of the oligarchic rich. The billionaire Koch brothers – financiers of the Tea Party and right wing think tanks – are today’s Du Ponts. The president is relentlessly vilified, and called a socialist, a fascist – bent on wealth redistribution, and the destruction of the “American way.”ress argues that while the attacks on past presidents were insidious and duplicitous, the assaults on Obama are unprecedented. His religion, nationality,Wholesale Jerseys, and political agenda are brought into question. The diatribe is unrelenting – the target of unhinged and rabid right wing elements.He writes: “After Congress approved Obama’s health care reform, one conservative blogger…. used his Twitter account to make the threat against Obama real and personal. ‘Assassination! America, we survived the assassination of Lincoln & Kennedy. We will surely get over a bullet……’” And it gets worse.Clearly,Brett Favre Falcons Jersey UK, “The Obama Hate Machine” hits the mark – time and time again – avoiding the simplicity of viewing this raging antipathy as purely racially motivated. Sure, racial prejudice is evident, and may have even heightened the odious language of the president’s detractors. And Press does not ignore this painful truth.From talk show provocateur Rush Limbaugh’s reference to Obama as a “Halfrican,Kieran Gibbs Arsenal Jersey UK,” to Congressman Geoff Davis’, ‘That boy…,” remark; and Michael Savages’: “I think that Obama will empower the racists in this country and stir up a race war in order to seize absolute power,” it is crystal clear that the president’s race and ethnicity have raised the stakes.However, it goes deeper. By examining every charge against the president, and how it measures up to his actual policies, Press has made a case that the real struggle is between economic interests.Press debunks the right wing hysteria against Obama’s purported socialist agenda- exposing its frivolity, if not its downright mendacity. Obama, the author posits – has simply followed his Republican predecessor in the bail out of banks and the auto industry under the “Troubled Asset Relief Program” (TARP). And the much maligned, “The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act” (informally called Obamacare), is a far cry from the socialised screed that many are led to believe.In fact, the author raises the little known clause in the legislation that allows states to opt out if they can provide more competitive health care.Press is analytical and readily credible. Relying less on rhetoric, and more on tangibles, his work could prove influential in the November elections.Even more telling is the subtlety of the book’s prophetic leaning.At the outset we learn of the abrasive attacks against Abraham Lincoln. He was accused of personal ambition, and having sinister motives. He was called a butcher, usurper, liar, ignorant, braggart, and worse. After his demise – and to this day &#82

There seems no limit to what exists in the drains in the city and its outskirts. Yesterday,Kieran Gibbs Arsenal Jersey UK, during the enhancement campaign being undertaken by City Hall with funding from the government,Cheap Soccer Jerseys, the workers dragged a large anaconda from a main drain that runs alongside the Railway Embankment.It was a tussle to subdue the reptile and an even bigger tussle to place it in a bag for transport to whoever may be interested in the reptile.There may be another equally large reptile,Wholesale NFL Jerseys Online, the mate for the one captured,Cheap Jerseys, but the excavator clearing the drains did not find it.

The 18-year-old man who alleged that he was drugged and raped by 10 men in a house at Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara (WCD) on Old Year’s Night,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, has been referred to the New Amsterdam Psychiatric Hospital in Berbice.This was revealed by the teenager’s mother who noted that the doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) informed her that the hospital in New Amsterdam has the requisite equipment to treat the teen.The Bellevue, West Bank Demerara (WBD) woman said that at present her son is not eating, walking or talking much. “He is now trying to talk but his words are not coming out clearly. He is just murmuring a little,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,” the teen’s mother said.She added that the doctors at GPHC had informed her that the young man is still traumatized over his assault and is probably too shy to face people.“I was told that the New Amsterdam hospital has the machine to check his brain and they are going to do shock therapy on him,” the devastated mother related.So far, police have arrested one person who was allegedly part of the gang-rape. That individual was later released on station bail.Police said that they are awaiting a statement from the teen to proceed with their investigation but due to his condition, the probe is at a standstill.A medical report submitted o police by the hospital has indicated that there was sexual trauma to the teen’s anus.According to reports, around 16:00 hrs on December 31, last, the teen left his home to attend an Old Year’s Night party with a friend.

He was scared for his life; he was nervous, his body was trembling and I could see he was in pain.”According to the devastated mother, at that point she did not question the teen much, since he was in too much discomfort.She said that he later asked to use the washroom.“I hold him up, but he couldn’t defecate. He was just shaking and he was crying out for belly pain. When he wiped himself,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, there was a lot of blood on the tissue and I hold him up and put him to lie down on a bed.”The mother said that when she questioned her son,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, he related the dreadful news to her.“He said that his friend jook he with a needle, he and about nine other men rape him in a house.”She said that the teenager’s arm was swollen which seemed to indicate that he had indeed been injected.The woman said that her son told her that the men then locked him in the house and later went back for him.“He said that the boys took him somewhere and they were going to shoot him, but a lady see and shout, and tell him to run. He run and jump in a taxi and the car bring him home,” the mother said.Investigations are ongoing.

Today the Guyana Fire Service will kick off its week-long celebration in observance of Fire Prevention Week 2012. Today, church services will be held at Bartica, Timehri, Anna Regina, New Amsterdam,Wholesale Jerseys Authentic, Leonora,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and in the city.Fire Chief Marlon Gentle in an interview with this publication said this year’s activities will be observed under the theme ‘Fire safety is everyone’s business, get involved now’.Among the activities slated for the week are seminars, awareness fairs and community outreaches.

The situation with the government’s One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) programme continues to deteriorate, as more and more allegations of mismanagement surfaces.Top of the list of concerns remains the non-payment of some staff members of the billion-dollar project, since October last year.Government has committed billions of dollars to the programme, under which almost every household will received a laptop computer.Almost two weeks ago, this newspaper carried a story on the issue and there was an assurance from Information Liaison at the Office of the President Kwame McCoy that it would have been sorted out soon.However, to date,NFL Jerseys From China, while the government has already distributed thousands of laptops, some trainers who are responsible for training the recipients are still awaiting their first payment.The trainers who operate in several hubs around the country have claimed that all they have received since the commencement of their contracts are promises, but no money.McCoy,Wholesale China Jerseys, who is the spokesman for the programme, had assured that the payments were being processed. He acknowledged that there were some hiccups which stemmed from the trainers themselves, resulting in the present undesirable situation.“When we asked them again for our payment, all they keep telling us is ‘we’re still processing it’ and it’s meeting after meeting and nothing is happening,” one of the trainers told this newspaper.Some staff members of the project, which was the brainchild of former President Bharat Jagdeo, are claiming that there is a lot of friction among the senior management,China Soccer Jerseys, especially since former Minister of Labour Manzoor Nadir no longer has ministerial oversight of the programme.They spoke of dwindling staff over the past few weeks.Earlier this week,Wholesale Jerseys USA, Project Director Sesh Sukhdeo was sent packing. The Office of the President had claimed that he resigned.“They had over one hundred persons working at the OLPF office on Lamaha Street, now they down to about ten,” one of the trainers disclosed.Kaieteur News was informed that millions of dollars were budgeted last year for the programme.According to the trainers,Cheap Authentic Jerseys Online, they are required to submit their claims to the OLPF office in a timely manner to facilitate payment, and this was done on several occasions.“Christmas come and gone, Mash come and gone and is just promises,Cheap China Jerseys, promises.
