It is a flawed financial oversight system that has allowed the Guyana Police Force to pay more than $32M to store the remains of those killed in the Lindo Creek Massacre without raising eyebrows over the past four years.
This is according to Volda Lawrence, the immediate past Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) which is tasked with scrutiny of the expenditures from the nation’s coffers.
On Sunday last this publication revealed that Government is paying Lyken Funeral Home up to $750,000 per month to store the remains of the miners which were recovered at their camp site.
This amounts to a whopping $32.2M, so far since the remains were collected by investigators in June 2008.

Dear Editor,

When I saw in the Stabroek News of December 31, 2011 a photograph of Philip Moore, Guyanese artist extraordinaire who recently celebrated his 90th birthday being honoured by the National Gallery, the picture of the Cuffy monument during the APNU rally came back to me. Before reflecting let me first express belated birthday greetings to him for attaining the age of 90.

Mission Statement


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.
