Govt inherited depressing financial landscape

President’s address to Parliament

Despite being in office for almost a year and a half, presenting two national budgets and another due for December 2016, President David Granger on Thursday used an address to the National Assembly to complain about the state of the country’s economy back in May 2015 when his A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) coalition took office, describing it as a depressing financial landscape.

ve Party/Civic which boycotted the President’s address to the 65-member legislature, Granger said the economic legacy that his Government inherited was characterised by a lack of strategic planning and whimsical decision-making.
“Your Government entered a depressing financial landscape in May 2015… Economic mismanagement was accompanied by huge debts for unpaid international obligations and court judgements,” Granger said, adding that the absence of a policy to provide employment opportunities for youth and to reduce extreme poverty and the failure to energise the manufacturing sector helped to weaken the economy.

GuySuCo
The Guyanese Head of State singled out the financial troubles faced by the cash-strapped Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), which he said owed $89 billion in debts, forcing the Government to divert money from economic and social programmes to rescue the ailing Corporation with an immediate injection of $12 billion and an additional $11 billion in 2016, making it a $23 billion bailout in 18 months.
“These transfers exclude the servicing of GuySuCo’s debts in respect of the Skeldon Estate Modernisation Project – a monstrous and monumental US$200 million mistake and, probably Guyana’s single most costly industrial catastrophe of all time,” he stated.
Rice
He said that rice farmers “were not spared the previous Administration’s reckless mismanagement.”
“The PetroCaribe Fund – used to meet payments to farmers for rice and paddy shipped to Venezuela – contained less than US$1 million in May 2015. Your Government was forced to make available nearly $4 billion immediately so that poor paddy farmers could be paid,” the President claimed.

Judgements
He also spoke of a number of liabilities which he said his Administration inherited including a $7 billion in favour of NH Elias for the East Bank Demerara Road, the $1.3 billion in favour of Rudisa Beverages, judgement in favour of Trinidad Cement Limited, settlement for $1.4 billion with B K Tiwari on Haags Bosch Project and several other judgements that will cost the State over $1 billion.
“Your Government, also, was obliged to provide another $5.4 billion bailout the National Insurance Scheme as a consequence of the previous Administration’s irresponsible CLICO investment,” he stated.
Granger however noted that despite these challenges, his Government managed to give public servants pay increases, raise the income tax threshold from $600,000 to $660,000, increase the minimum wage from $39,520 in May 2015, to $55,000 in January 2016 while Old Age Pension and public assistance were also increased.
“These benefits, taken together, augmented workers disposable income significantly,” he stated.
The President also spoke of his Government’s intentions to improve the quality of life for Guyanese, including greater access to public service, declaring that citizens should not have to leave their respective regions to access public service.
According to the Head of State, his Government’s overarching objective is to ensure a ‘good life’ for all of citizens and has chosen a ‘green’ pathway to achieve a higher quality of life. He went on to outline his ‘green agenda” which encompasses a comprehensive, multisectorial development programme.

Public security
The President also outlined his Government’s plans for the security sector which includes the establishment of several anti-crime agencies to uproot the causes of crime and its links with transnational crime.
“We established a National Security Committee.  We are in the process of establishing a new National Anti-Narcotics Agency (NANA) to address the mother of all crimes – the trafficking in narcotics. We will establish a new National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) to ensure better surveillance of our borders and coasts,” Granger stated.
He added that a decision was also taken to re-engage the United Kingdom with a view to restoring the aborted Security Sector Reform Action Plan (SSRAP).
“The Plan will commence soon with the arrival of experts from the United Kingdom to advise us on crafting a national security response to domestic and transnational crime – including narcotics-trafficking and gun-running,” the President explained.
He said too that increased aerial surveillance over the maritime zone over the past year led to a reduction in the incidence of piracy as he pledged to expand the Guyana Police Force’s Marine wing.
Among the other areas the President examined are his Government’s legislative agenda, public trust and its aim to fulfil its campaign promise of a good life.
“We aim at the development of a cohesive society in which confrontation is replaced by cooperation. The removal of inequalities based on geography and ethnicity will lay the foundation for a better ‘quality of life’ for everyone.  We will work to reduce prejudice and violence. We will fashion a multicultural society characterised by tolerance and mutual respect,” President Granger declared.

Opposition Leader labels President Granger’s address a “desecration of House”

…“Granger remains aloof of policies and decisions of State”

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has rejected outright, the latest offer of conciliation across the aisle by Head of State President David Granger, saying he is not only aloof and out of touch with reality, but is in fact not serious about.
“The President does not mean it, he just says these things that sound good,” declared Jagdeo, who was at the time weighing in on the President’s offer of an ‘olive branch’ minutes after he would have launched a scathing attack on the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) while in office.

Granger was at the time addressing the National Assembly on Thursday, as the House reconvened following its annual two-month recess.
Jagdeo suggested that Granger’s offer of a renewed conciliatory approach in building bridges between government and opposition was, “an almost after thought.”
He lamented the fact that Granger used his address to Parliament to label the PPP/C as criminals and responsible for many of the current economic and social woes being experienced but still, “thinks there is room for us to work; he has said this many time, it’s all rhetoric.”
Explaining his party’s decision to boycott the President’s address to the House, Jagdeo told the media that this course of action was a principled one in retaliation to Granger’s decision to abuse his Executive Power when he suspended Carvil Duncan—the holder of a number of Constitutionally protected offices.
According to Jagdeo, the PPP/C thought it necessary to send a strong signal to the President that Constitutional protection must not be treated with lightly and, “we believe the whole affair surrounding Carvil Duncan has been treated in a cavalier manner by Government.”
In fact, he called the development “ominous for future of our democracy.”

Executive interference
He accused the President of interference when he first called on Duncan to resign with the inducement of a monetary package and when this was refused, he suspended him.
The former President questioned if this was the fate that befell Duncan who was endowed with constitutional protection, what obtains with the ordinary citizen employed as a waitress or a farmer placed in a similar position.
“This is direct interference by the Executive in trying to get a constitutional post holder to succumb to their will,” said Jagdeo.
With regard to the PPP/C sticking firm to its decision to walk out on the President ahead of his presentation, Jagdeo said had his party stayed, it would have eventually still opted to boycott the President’s speech given its content.
”The President cannot be doing this and come to this Chamber, the birthplace of our laws and clothe himself in democratic garb which he sought to do today… it runs counter to everything they have spoken about in the past,” according to Jagdeo.

Desecrate Parliament
According to Jagdeo, what the President did through his speech was to desecrate the hallowed chambers of Parliament
Jagdeo, following the President’s address, met with members of the local media corps in the Parliamentary Committee room to rubbish the presentation by the President calling some of his proposals not only ominous but downright dangerous.
He pointed to the legislative agenda outlined by the President and singled out the proposed amendments to the Immigration Laws and another to make provision for a National Registration Bill.
Jagdeo said the two Bills on the face of it were cause for immediate concern. He drew reference to the PPP/C’s imputations of a sinister move afoot with regard to the possible rigging of any future national and regional elections.
“This could have a huge impact on elections in the future,” Jagdeo said, as he noted that fresh in the minds of some were the administration of the People’s National Congress and its management of General Elections locally.
“Those days are still fresh in the minds of some people,” Jagdeo said.
He recalled, too, a recent announcement by Minister of Citizenship Winston Felix, about the need to import some 300,000 birth registration forms.

Sinister thing
On the matter of the National Registration Amendment Bill to include greater use of biometrics, Jagdeo said this is supposed to be a function of the independent Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) adding, “this is a very sinister thing”
Turning his attention to the substantive attacks launched by Granger, the Opposition Leader sought to point out that it was illustrative of how “aloof the President is…He comes routinely and speaks about all sorts of issue that have very little relevance to people life.”
Describing Granger as out of touch with reality, the former President observed that his presentation began with a hostile attack on the PPP/C, referring to its time in office as the decade of trouble.
The troubles, according to Jagdeo, were laid squarely at the feet of the PPP/C and not at the feet of the ‘drug dealers’ the ‘insurgents’ or ‘freedom fighters’ that had laid siege to Buxton, East Coast Demerara.
These groups, he said, were randomly killing citizens and members of the disciplined services but this was not acknowledged by Granger.
Jagdeo recalled too that there was not a single word of condemnation from the PNC at the time—the party now headed by Granger.
Jagdeo also used the occasion to take to task Granger’s suggestion that during that period there was the uninvestigated murder of a sitting Minister of Government—the late Agriculture Minister, Satyadeow ‘Sash’ Sawh.
The former President dismissed this assertion by the President as “not true” saying that a person was in fact charged and placed before the courts with the murder of Minister Sawh. “The police have a full file,” said Jagdeo.

Colonial stooge
The President in his addressed also lambasted the then PPP/C government for its abandonment of the British-funded security sector reform project.
Jagdeo was adamant that the abandonment of this project was in the interest of the nation and that Guyana was no longer going to be a stooge of colonial powers.
“I said once I am president that is not going to happen so there was a reason for this, we not going to trade our sovereignty for this colonial power to put conditions that may harm our community or create problem with neighbour.”
He was making reference to the British Government’s then insistence on staging a live fire exercise close to the border with Venezuela.
Jagdeo also sought to lash out at President Granger’s talk of inheriting a parlous and grizzly economy and pointed to the fact that Guyana has not only enjoyed sustained growth over the past 10 years but would have also significantly reduced its debt to GDP ratio—to the third lowest in the hemisphere. The President’s assertions according to Jagdeo, aptly demonstrates how out of touch with reality he is and suggested his belief that Granger himself may not be in agreement with much of what he espouses.
He questioned how President Granger could on one hand bemoan the state of the economy then on the other speak of many of the initiatives instituted by his administration such as increases in public servants’ wages and salaries, among other benefits such as old age pension.
According to the former President, now Opposition Leader, many of the proposals that have been touted by the current President are in fact projects that would have been borne out of the PPP/C administration.
He drew reference to the president’s adumbration of ICT and environmental projects, all of which were started under the PPP/C but now adopted as its own by the coalition A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance for Change (APNU/AFC) Government.
“How could a President not know that his entire government is operating in a manner on policy that are so opposed to the broad statements that he made…. Maybe he does know but this is part of the show to dupe the people,” Jagdeo concluded.

The statement was made at a courtesy call paid by the team to the Director of Sport at his National Sports Commission Office on Wednesday.
Jones was adamant of the fact that sports in general were bringing home the accolades but more particularly, in the discipline of body building.
“The government of Guyana is committed to contributing to the development of all disciplines… we would have recognized overtime that many of the disciplines we would have sent abroad came back very successful but bodybuilding is noteworthy to mention. Every time they participate in a regional or international tournament they return with awards” Jones mentioned.
The Director of Sport further indicated that the Government of Guyana through the NSC is pleased to have invested in the team who ventured to the CAC in the Dominican Republic and renewed their pledge to investment in sports.
“The National Sports Commission is proud to contribute to their travels because we knew they would be representing the Golden Arrow Head to their best and the old saying goes ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’ and we can see here that for the National Sports Commission the returns are great.” The Director of Sport said. As the team returned, the Guyanese contingent would have set a new national record for the land of many waters with a total of five medals, marking the best bodybuilding outing for the country in the event.

Poor garbage collection by NA municipality

More than 5000 households of New Amsterdam, Region 6 (East Berbice-Corentyne) are made to use the single garbage tractor and trailer available by the New Amsterdam Municipality.

What is even more is that the vehicle encounters regular mechanical problem that has resulted in a pile-up of garbage in the country’s oldest town. Bins are overflowing and residents have resorted to disposing of solid waste along road shoulders around the town.
In light of the poor service being currently providing, the Environmental Health Department is appealing to residents to have a second garbage receptacle in their yards.
Municipal Health Inspector, Ackloo Ramsudh, stated that the department is appreciative of any efforts by individuals who want to take their waste to the dump site at Esplanade. “Those waste that are taken there will be accepted free of charge,” Ackloo told this publication.
He noted that it is the department’s desire that they service each household on a weekly basis but because of constraints, it is struggling to maintain even a monthly service: “For example, we have a compactor truck that is not working. We recently acquired a skip bin mechanically-operated tractor that developed some problems also and these are situations that we find are not within our control. We are asking residents to be patient with us.”
Meanwhile, skip bins have been placed at perceived strategic locations in the town is to assist with residential waste. “Persons would have been producing waste…building up in their yard and they do not have the means to take it to the Municipal dumpsite. We have noticed that those skip bins are being misused by commercial entities; we have noticed that on some occasions those bins have been set afire and this will eventually damage the metal,” Ramsudh added.
Despite being handicapped, the Environmental Health Department is taking a proactive approach to ensure that persons do not use the current situation as an excuse for dumping their waste on the street.
“One of the interventions that the Municipality has taken is to inspect the yards of persons and to ensure that they have a receptacle to collect their waste and if those persons do not have a receptacle then those persons will be fined. We recognize that persons who do not have a receptacle are the persons who are responsible for littering indiscriminately,” the Health Inspector stated.
The fine will start at $3000 for first-time offenders after they would have been given a written warning.
