What's wrong with this picture??? Didn't this guy hear about the amnesty program? All's fair in love and war? As usual, the innocents are being slaughtered.

Can't make this stuff up. This is as dim-witted as it gets. Who is monitoring SARU? Clive getting silly in his old age...typical of the management. ;D

This man should sue them for defamation.


Letter to the Editor: Dr. Gopaul challenges accuracy of Recovery Unit report, condemns ‘damage to character of former ministers’

October 15, 2015 4:34 pm Category: Opinion  A+ / A- 


Dear Editor,

[www.inewsguyana.com] – The media houses today reported that Dr. Nanda K. Gopaul, a former Minister of Labour, along with other colleagues should be held liable and charged criminally over “Pradoville 2” sale of lands.

I wish to state categorically that I am not the holder of any plot of land at that location nor did I play any role in the allocation of land at that location.  Further, I played no role in the decision making process involving the sale of those house lots.  I was not a Minister of the Government when those lots were allocated and I view with grave concern the attempt by the State Asset Recovery Unit or any other agency of Government to malign my name and impugn my character, as being part of some alleged illegal activity, by naming me.  It is clear that there was haphazard work done by the Government agency and appears clear that the current Government is attempting to embarrass former Government officials.

I see nothing wrong or illegal in the development of any housing project by the Government of Guyana under the PPP Government. (Pradoville 2 included)

This attempt by arms of the current Government to seek to sensationalize issue and damage the character of former Government officials must be condemned and highlighted as a bad omen which will create further division in our Society.

I take serious view of the SARU report, if it is correct, and the follow up reporting by the media houses of same.  I therefore seek a complete retraction and an appropriate apology with equal prominence over this misinformation, which has done irreparable harm to my integrity and character.

Dr.  Nanda K. Gopaul

Amnesty anyone? What is this guy doing on the street? Well he was trained well enough by the erstwhile GDF to shoot. Mission accomplished!

Annandale tragedy…Baby’s killer was previously charged with murder

October 20, 2015 | By KNews | Filed Under News 

As detectives continue to hunt for 45-year-old Marc Angoy, the suspect who allegedly shot and killed a one-year-old baby and wounded his lover’s daughter, it was confirmed that he was previously charged with murder.

Angoy, a former member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was charged in 1998 for the murder of a man at Twelve and a Half Miles Issano, Mazaruni, Region Seven but he was later acquitted.
Also, he was arrested several times both as a teenager and an adult for robbery under arms.
  8)Yesterday, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) issued a wanted bulletin for the suspect who allegedly shot and killed his ex-lover’s grandbaby, Arian Gill, and wounded the woman’s daughter, Ashley Wellington.
The incident occurred around 13:45 hrs on Sunday at Lot 38 East Ville, Annandale, East Coast Demerara.
According to reports, the man’s ex-lover, Shelly Norton, who is the toddler’s grandmother and Wellington’s mother, ended an abusive three-year-old relationship with the suspect about five weeks ago.
Since then, the suspect reportedly started to harass her. At times he even threatened to kill her. This forced her to seek a restraining order to keep him away from her family.
However, the 45-year-old suspect allegedly showed up at her home on Sunday and pushed his hand through a window and opened fire on Norton’s daughter and grand baby while they were watching television in the living room.
He made no attempt to injure his ex-lover, although she was also in the house at the time.
Norton said that she was in her bedroom when she heard what sounded like gunshots and later she heard Wellington screaming on top of her voice.
“I run to the bedroom door and I see him with his hand through the window and he was shooting at the children. He was aiming his gun at Ashley and firing shots continuously,” a terrified Norton recalled.
She said that she is not sure if her ex-lover saw her but from where she was standing, he could have seen her but he made no attempt to injure her.
“He was too focused on the children because he knows Ashley is my last daughter and I love my granddaughter.”
According to Norton, the suspect had previously told her that he would hurt the “things closest to her.” “I love Arian and he knows that, so he killed her and he get away,” the terrified grandmother was heard shouting at the hospital on Sunday.
The woman confirmed that she and her ex-partner were supposed to attend Court on Thursday, after he violated the restraining order.
“Last week, he called me on my daughter’s (Ashley) phone 17 times, so I took the phone to the Sparendaam Police Station and showed the police all the calls. He even told people that he has a gun and he will shoot me,” Norton stressed.
Late Sunday, the suspect, in an interview with this newspaper said that he knows nothing about the shooting.
He acknowledged that he and his ex-lover, Norton, were to attend court on Thursday, in connection with the restraining order that she filed against him recently.
Angoy said that he last saw his ex-partner about two weeks ago.
According to Angoy, he has absolutely no idea of the shooting and will contact his lawyer.
He then ended the call and turned off his cellular phone.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Marc Angoy is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 229-2557, 229-2702, 225-6411, 225-8196, 911 or the nearest police station.

I reckon that it is important to have a minister who can do more for the country and not try and profit himself, which occurs in most of these cases, and Moses seems like a guy who will do more for the people and try and make positive changes for them. It is interesting to see a person who has a good record and this will increase the chances of him moving ahead in the elections, which will be a good thing and hope he does well during the election period. I hope that people see the good he can do and will be interesting to see what he can do and has proved to be someone who will not sit back and watch his people suffer while he profits.

I have a bridge to sell to you...Moses? ;D ;D ;D

Moses want to have his own "National" airlines now. The last one failed miserably. And the government has to subsidize it heavily. However Moses needs the iron bird to take the minions on a heavenly excursion.

Someone say Amen!

‘I think it’s ridiculous. I also think it’s unjust and uncalled for. Guyana—as we all know— is a poor country and in a poor country

the wages should be in keeping with the income the country makes. We know ours is not very high—I think it’s US$3,000, and yet I’ve heard that in a place like Trinidad that has eight times the GDP of Guyana, the Prime Minister’s wages are equivalent to what our Prime Minister’s wages would be. But that is a country that can afford so much more than

we can. So wages and payments and fees and salaries—especially for those in government— must be in keeping with what the country can afford and if the country can only afford to pay its public sector employees between a five and a 13% and whatever are the other percentages that are bandied about—if it can only afford to pay that, well, how is it right that the government then can vote themselves a 50% increase? What they get is very adequate as far as I’m concerned because besides the salary they get a whole host of other things free. They get a housing allowance, or they get a house; they get chauffeurs; they get cars; free utilities; entertainment allowance; free health services, etc. So when you add all of that up, plus what they’re getting, it is adequate. So even if they felt that maybe they could get an increase, it certainly cannot be 50% when there are

people in Guyana right now who can’t or can barely afford one meal a day for their children and the rest of their family members. It cannot be right. We can’t afford it. People of Guyana are paying taxes. The government ministers can only receive money from taxes and things like that, so the people are paying for them. It is just ridiculous and it is unjust and they need to reconsider it and do justice by the people of Guyana who have just gone through 23 years where there was massive corruption. We were told that the treasury was bare. How then can this treasury that’s not supposed to have too much money in it pay a 50% increase to all of these ministers? No, it’s wrong.’

Elton McRae: ‘My thoughts are that it is not really necessary now that the ministers get that 50%, primarily because we’re looking at the state of the

economy. They are claiming that public servants cannot get more than 5% because the coffers were empty. So how come then you can get 50?  :DIt means that you are seeing yourselves as different when we are all public servants. I would have preferred if they’d done a scenario where everybody gets a gradual increase to that 50% — whether it’s going to take you five years or four years to reach there, let us do it so.’

National carrier should not be a priority – Gerry Gouviea

October 21, 2015 | By KNews | Filed Under News 

– focus should be on search and rescue, accident investigation

A National Air Carrier for Guyana in its current circumstance is nothing but a ‘Pie in the Sky’ and the coalition A Partnership for National Unity, Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) Government should instead be looking to itemize its priorities and address those deficiencies in the aviation sector first.

Local aviation expert, Captain Gerry Gouveia, made the observation following an announcement on Monday last by Prime Minister and First Vice President, Moses Nagamootoo, that Guyana must and will have a return of its National Carrier.
The Prime Minister was at the time addressing the local aviation fraternity that had converged at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre for the first ever Aviation Conference to be held locally.
Gouveia subsequently told media operatives, “A national carrier is a pie in the sky, the money it will take this country to try to re-establish a national carrier and to do one that meets the international standards is a pie in the sky.”
The local aviation expert who heads the Roraima Group of Companies, told media operatives that what government has to instead do, is firstly itemize its priorities.
“We need to be more realistic,” cautioned Gouveia.  He was asked to also weigh in on Guyana’s push to have its airport receiving a Category One Status and this too was dismissed by Gouveia, who said the priority should be for the country to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) standards.
A Category One Status for an airport is only an American requirement, according to Gouveia, who drew reference to the fact that the ICAO is a global body.
“We should do everything to bring ourselves up to ICAO standards and then we could start thinking about Category One…Category One is a US Government requirement…ICAO is the world standard that Guyana is a contributing partner to and we need to meet that,” said Gouveia.
He said, the private sector, if it wants, could look into the idea of starting an international airline, “but I think bringing Guyana quickly up to ICAO standards, acceptable standards would be a priority.”
Government, he said, should be firstly looking at issues of search and rescue, accident investigation and capacity building in the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCCA), before venturing to look to have a return of a National Air Carrier.
He said these two objectives can be on the list but tackling the deficiencies confronting the local aviation industry needs to be done technically and sensibly, “then you could drop it (national carrier) in the order of priority it would need to be done.”
“What happens when a plane ends up in the jungle, how long are we really going to mobilize to find it,” said Gouveia.
He continued: “and then when we find it, could we really get to the aircraft? We don’t have a helicopter with the capability, so now we got to go scrambling to Brazil or Trinidad to bring in a plane and in the mean time people could be bleeding to death.”
According to Gouveia, the things that he would have outlined are “high priority issues but again it has to come out of the technical discussions.”
Speaking to the outcome of the first such conference to be held in Guyana, Gouveia welcomed the initiative and said “my hope is that at the end of this conference, we are able to identify and list those things (of priority) and then we could develop a strategy that the government would be guided.”
Servicing the local aviation industry for a number of years through his Roraima Airways, Gouveia was asked to weigh in on how a comprehensive strategy would be funded to lift the standards of the local aviation industry.
According to Gouveia, “what is important is that we are able to prioritize things.”
He suggested that after local aviators would have put forward their recommendations, there could be some sort of consolidation of the various positions “and then we list them in order of priority.”
Guyana, he said, needs, for example, to start addressing also, the issue of its airspace management and the aviation sector needs to look at whether Air Traffic Controllers will be stationed at outlying airstrips and not just at the Ogle or Cheddi Jagan International Airports.
“So we need to be able to look at those things, and coming out of this conference, I hope that we could list the priority areas and then through discussion and dialogue, putting all the brains together, that we can come up with not only a list but the order of the priorities.”
This, he said, would be used to guide the government “because you can’t expect government to do everything at one time, we just don’t have the money.”

Ha, paying thieves not to thief???? That is a model concept. I wondered where these guys learned these things? Maybe the choke and robbers should appeal to the government for a wage increase so they don't go about stealing anymore. Preventive? Productive? Or plain schupid? You be the judge. ;D ;D ;D ;D 

"Also, the comments that Mr Harmon made about paying well so they wouldn’t thief—if that is what you’re saying, then are you saying that you’re governing a country full of thieves? Because you know that the people are not being paid well, so what are you saying? I find it very insulting and unacceptable.’"
