President of the Youth Coalition for Transformation, Jermaine Grant, yesterday said that the refusal of President Donald Ramotar to dismiss Clement Rohee,Cheap NFL Jerseys, as Minister of Home Affairs is doing more harm than good to the security of the Guyanese populace.Grant said that it was evident in the National Assembly today when the combined opposition protested as Minister Rohee presented the Gun License Bill to the National Assembly despite a Motion of no-confidence that was passed against him.According to Grant, the government is well aware of the opposition’s intention to not entertain any presentation by Minister Rohee before the Assembly yet they proceeded to stymie the business of the House.Grant said that he strongly believes that the government’s intransigence to not terminate the service of Clement Rohee as Minister of Home Affairs will see a degeneration of the August Assembly where the will of the majority if not respected will undermine parliamentary democracy in Guyana.“The continued and deliberate attempt to foist Clement Rohee on the populace when a majority has no confidence in him is contemptuous,Cheap NFL Jerseys China,” Grant asserted.

But,Wholesale China Jerseys, instead, the government is standing behind Minister Rohee compounded with provocative commentary of “let’s get ready to rumble.” This is not boxing. The national security of Guyana and safety of all Guyanese is paramount.Grant said that the organization is calling on President Ramotar to do the right thing, the honourable thing and remove Minister Rohee from the post of Home Affairs Minister.He said that if Minister Rohee truly respects Guyana’s maturing parliamentary democracy and cares for this country as he would have said publicly, then he would send in his resignation letter.? The people of Guyana deserve better and the democratic will of the majority must be respected and adhered to.Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman,Cheap Jerseys, was on Thursday forced to adjourn the sitting of the National Assembly because the opposition parties maintained that they will not allow Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee to “utter any word in the House”.Trotman had earlier announced that the President of Guyana was not constitutionally or legally obliged to adhere to the opposition motion of no confidence in Minister Clement Rohee.“I have received the categorical and unequivocal opinion that His Excellency the President is not constitutionally or legally obliged to adhere to the motion and similarly,Jerseys From China, that the member, Mr. Clement J.

Residents of Non Pareil,China Jerseys Cheap, East Coast Demerara,NFL Jerseys 2018, are disgruntled over the lack of electricity in the Housing Scheme located at the Triple X sections and its environs for the past three years.One resident noted that since the commissioning of the housing project in 2009 by the Ministry of Housing,Claudio Bravo Chile Jersey, Government has made several promises to ensure that the community would receive the much needed electricity but have not delivered on their word.“Up to last year during the elections campaign they come and promise we power but is almost a year gone.

Counterfeiting is estimated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to generate some US$250 billion a year in criminal proceeds. As a form of transnational organized crime, counterfeiting forms part of a new campaign by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).This illustrates the key financial and social costs behind organized crime and reveals the dangers of counterfeit goods to health and safety.According to the agency, the production and sale of counterfeit goods is a global, multi-billion dollar problem and one that has serious economic and health ramifications for Governments, businesses and consumers. Counterfeiting is everywhere – it can affect what we eat, what we watch, what medicines we take and what we wear – and all too often the link between fake goods and transnational organized crime is overlooked or underestimated.Counterfeiting is a wide ranging crime which typically includes the practice of manufacturing goods, often of inferior quality, and selling them under a brand name without the owner’s authorization. Counterfeiters are involved in the illegal production of knock-offs in virtually every area – food, drinks, clothes, shoes, pharmaceuticals, electronics, auto parts,Authentic NFL Jerseys Online, toys, currency, tickets for transport systems and concerts, alcohol, cigarettes, toiletries, building materials and much, much more. Criminals rely on the continued high demand for cheap goods coupled with low production and distribution costs.Depending on the nature of the counterfeit goods, there can be serious health and safety concerns for consumers. Counterfeit baby formula and other foods can even be fatal, while purchases such as sub-standard toys, car parts and electrical goods present significant safety risks given their lower quality.One of the most harmful forms of counterfeit goods is fraudulent medicines. According to the World Health Organization,Cheap MLB Jerseys, in parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America, fraudulent pharmaceuticals amount to as much as 30 per cent of the market.These types of medicines are found either to contain the wrong dose of active ingredients, or none at all, or to have a completely different ingredient included. These medicines make some of the world’s most dangerous diseases such as malaria stronger by contributing to the development of drug-resistant strains, as the active ingredients are no longer able to work correctly.With the counterfeit business spread across numerous countries and organized by criminal networks,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, there is an ever-growing need for action at both the local and international levels. The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, of which UNODC is the guardian, is the world’s most inclusive platform for cooperation in tackling all forms of organised crime.Currently, 167 countries are party to the Convention and have committed themselves to fighting organized crime through collaboration and ensuring that domestic laws are suitably structured.In October, UNODC will be hosting the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. This biennial series of meetings brings together Governments from across the world to promote and review the implementation of the Convention in order to ensure better approaches to tackling transnational organised crime.Through its technical assistance programmes, UNODC also works to counter the flow of illicit goods such as counterfeit products and drugs. UNODC and the World Customs Organization launched the Container Control Programme (CCP) in 2006.The programme has achieved remarkable results, seizing 487 containers of fraudulent and contraband goods alongside a further 195 containers of drugs. This year alone, the programme has led to the seizure of 19 containers with over 100 tons of fake Tramadol, a pain-killer,Tony Gonzalez Falcons Jersey, all originating in India and seized in West Africa.The CCP presently has 28 operational port control units across 14 countries and is receiving increased interest from the private sector as the counterfeit seizures grow.But fighting counterfeiting is not just the role of international organizations,Jerseys NFL Cheap, but also of public health authorities, trade organizations or consumer groups. Concerned citizens have a role to play too. In this, UNODC advocates for the following actions:“If you know a film has been illegally copied and is being sold as a knock-off, do not buy it. If your favourite designer brand is clearly not made by your favourite designer, stay away. Beyond these obvious counterfeit products, stay alert to other war
