Dirty politics by Dennis Chabrol and Lloyd King
Sunday, 07 March 2010

 By Lincoln LewisSample Image

I am a public figure and my integrity matters. In my call in to your program last evening (Saturday) you made (broadcast) some dishonest and wicked statements against me, as a person and as a trade unionist. These were also made in relation to the Guyana Trades Union Congress. This dangerous appetite for making wild statements, engaging in character assassination and brandishing lies as standard fare, gospel and authority in our public discourse I take very seriously. I shall not be a victim of it or be held hostage by it. I therefore expect the providence of the evidence to support the following charges or the necessary public retraction:

 
The Poseidon, the dead society and the morning after
Sunday, 07 March 2010

By Freddie Kissoon

 Sample Image

Movies, like books, people, places and events, can have an early effect on you. I was young when I saw the Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman. Hackman played the role of the priest on a cruise ship that ran into turbulent waters and was sinking. Though he was a priest, he was cynical about the way God operated. He couldn’t understand why God, if he is omnipotent, allowed cruel suffering as what he saw as the ship went down. The theme song for the movie became a worldwide hit. Titled, “the Morning After,” this song is manifestly relevant to what is taking place in this land. To understand how pertinent the lyrics are to this dead society, a few lines should be offered;
“There’s got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let’s keeping on looking for the light”

 
Brickdam lock-ups for completion shortly
Sunday, 07 March 2010

 Sample Image

Rehabilitation works on the Brickdam lock-ups will be completed soon and according to Home Affairs Minster Clement Rohee, he is impressed with what he has seen. Addressing reporters on Friday during a press briefing, Rohee said that the finishing touches would be completed in a few weeks’ time and that next week the media would be invited to tour the facility. He expressed himself convinced that the media would be as impressed as he was with lock-ups now. The insanitary state of the lock-ups came into the spotlight in 2009, and rehabilitation began late in the year at a cost of $10M. In the interim, prisoners were housed at the Diamond Police Station lock-ups.

Cops take $4000 bribe plus demanded cellphone from unlicensed driver
Sunday, 07 March 2010

 Sample Image

Two more police ranks are facing criminal charges after demanding money from a motorist who happened to be the relative of a senior police officer. The ranks took away $4,000 and a cellular phone from the motorist who was at the time driving without his licence. This newspaper was told that on Friday night, the ranks, who are from the Ministerial Patrol, stopped a car near the 1763 Monument and demanded that the driver produce his licence. When the man told them that he did not have it on his person, they threatened to lock him up unless he ‘grease we hand”.

Gov't breaking the laws to attack economic well-being of some workers
Saturday, 06 March 2010

By Lincoln Lewis

 Sample Image

The impasse between the Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc (BCGI) and the Guyana Bauxite & General Workers Union has entered its fourth month with a seeming determination on the government’s part to continue the violations of the rule of law and the rights of bauxite workers. The refusal of the government to act consistent with its legal responsibility to bring about a closure is very disturbing. The Union has a responsibility to its members, including those wrongfully dismissed, but the Ministry of Labour, who by law, has a conciliatory role to play in the impasse is yet to act to bring the parties to the table.

The Mark Benschop Foundation was officially launched in March 2008 by its founder and chairman Mark Benschop and other concerned Guyanese and well wishers in the United States of America. What started as a small operation geared toward helping those in need has grown so large that they were forced to move their offices to a whole building in East Street where the vast amount of people responding to their generosity  could be accommodated.
