Today marks one year since general elections in Guyana resulted in victory for the coalition. It has been a year of ups and downs. Coalition supporters are disappointed that some election promises remain unfulfilled to date but are glad the PPP is out of power. It is hoped that the coalition will make good on its promises during the next 4 years in office.

Today has been declared a National Day of Reflection in Guyana under the theme "Reflect, Celebrate, Inspire". This indicates that the government is willing to reflect on its performance during the past 12 months and to inspire confidence among the population.

National Day of prayer on today

 

AS PART of the package to observe Social Cohesion  Day today, a National Day of Prayer has been planned, and a service will be held at Durban Park early in the morning.President David Granger and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo are expected to attend the National Day of Prayer organised by the Ministry of Social Cohesion.
The event commences at 07:30hrs.

Social Cohesion Day also forms part of the menu of activities being held in observance of Guyana’s 50th Independence Anniversary. It was on May 11, 2015 that the people of Guyana voted the APNU+AFC Coalition into Government, thereby effectively removing the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) out of office after 23 years of incumbency.

Social Cohesion Day, the first of its kind in Guyana, will kick-off with an inter-religious prayer ceremony and will culminate with a musical stage performance at the National Cultural Centre.

Congratulating the AFC/PNC clowns is quite a huge embarrassment.

They are a bunch of crooks, conmen and liars who filled their pockets and are sucking the blood of ordinary Guyanese with their mega salaries.

These AFC/PNC Clowns and crooks :

Are yet to prove claims of PPP corruption. They have proven ZERO. Yes, these clowns have prove zero and talk shyte all day long. To these AFC/PNC clowns: Talk is cheap. 

Harmon has proven to be corrupt yet the AFC is scared to bell the cat.

Moses and Ramjattan are like stray dos and lack any real power. They are like blow blow.

Crime is out of control. No amount of damage control can help that clown Ramjattan.

Granger threw Indo Guyanese rice farmers under the bus.

Indos are being discriminated against and replaced by Afro in an ethnic cleansing.

The rice and sugar industry are dead.

The economy is in the toilet.

Transparent Public procurement process has been thrown in the toilet by these clowns and liars.

Indo Guyanese are fleeing the country to escape blatant racism and a lack of job or employment opportunities.

There is no new foreign investments. These AFC/PNC clowns are sponging off what the PPP already left in place.

These clowns declared that the treasury was empty yet these clowns are sponging off what the Billions the PPP left int he treasury. That is the PNC way, eat, spend and destroy.

They have not even built a toilet.

The list goes on and on. Posters can add to the list of failures.

Wait, we are still awaiting on a recent of the rigged election.

Wait, the PPP trashed these AFC/PNC clowns at the Local Elections.

Finally, these clowns should stop talking and at least attempt to run the country, then again what are clowns capable of ?

Conclusion:

It would be foolish to even consider congratulating these AFC/PNC clowns. Then again, there are fools and sheep everywhere and AFC supporters were conned and thrown in the Atlantic Ocean by a bunch of conmen and liars.

NIS audit – Luncheon cries foul

 

â€Ķsays damning NIS audit findings must be answered

FORMER Chairman of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), Dr Roger Luncheon, has sought to defend the administration of the scheme under his watch against the damning findings of a forensic audit which implicated him and the PPP government for playing a heavy hand in its operations.Dr Luncheon also flayed Government for reportedly ignoring him and the previous board during the conduct of the audit, but assured that the report should and must be answered. In a letter to the editor of this newspaper, Dr Luncheon said Guyanese must have noticed the recent publication in the press of the findings of the audit.

He noted that as the chairman of the Board of NIS for the period 2011-2015, within which the audit was done, neither the auditor nor the Government had afforded the board the professional convention of first responding to the audit findings.

Former Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Luncheon said his board was “unceremoniously relieved of its appointment and responsibilities in May 2015, and (was) eventually replaced en bloc, with the exception of an APNU-nominated member.”

Noting that the General Manager of the NIS is by law a member and deputy chairman of the board, Dr Luncheon said the forensic auditor failed to address the issue of whether evidence was unveiled that established that the board had conducted its affairs and obtained financial benefits from irregular actions.

“The findings of the forensic audit that have been displayed in the press should and must be answered. Were the financial auditor or the Granger Government so inclined to solicit such an intervention, it should have been directed to the competent authority,” Dr Luncheon said.

The audit report, done by Ramesh Seebaran and released by the Ministry of Finance, highlighted that NIS office at Corriverton, built in 2011 for $69.9M, was later valued at $37.9M. The report said the Lot 8 Springlands, Corriverton, Berbice building was reconstructed in 2010/2011 and commissioned in 2011 at cost of $69,923,940.

Focusing on the scheme’s investment in the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI), the auditor said the company has several investments in the BBCI; namely corporate bonds — $1,060,000,000; subordinated loan $500,000,000 (which is a debt that ranks after other debts if a company falls into liquidation or bankruptcy); preference shares – $950,000,000; and common shares – $80,000,000.

The ability of BBCI to pay interest, dividends and capital repayment will depend on its ability to generate profits. To date, it has made accumulated losses of $1,507,062,759 based on its 2014 audited financial statements.

“As a result, the investment in BBCI’s common shares may now be impaired, as the current net worth of an ordinary share is $2.77 based on its 2014 audited financial statements.”

Further, it was noted that the 2014 audited financial statements showed that the company signed a concession agreement with the Government of Guyana for the design, construction, development, operations and maintenance of the Berbice Bridge, pursuant to the terms and conditions established within this agreement.

The agreement is for a period of 21 years, unless terminated or extended by mutual agreement or in accordance with any other provisions within the agreement.

When the 2012 audit was finalised in May 2015, it became known to management that the company does not own a bridge, but instead a licence to operate a bridge, even though the scheme had two of its directors on the company’s board.

“This resulted in the auditors reclassifying the cost of the bridge and a building from Fixed Assets to ‘Concession Assets’ and restated the 2010 and 2011 audited financial statements. The effect of the reclassification resulted in those years which had declared taxable profits now showing significant losses.” These losses arose because the Concession Agreement is for a period of 21 years, therefore the bridge is now amortised over that period, whereas it was previously depreciated over a 70-year period.

A copy of the Concession Agreement was not available for review by the auditor. Based on the information available to the auditor, it was discovered that there is a “material uncertainty that cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

“It means therefore, that the Scheme’s investment in the BBCI is almost certain to be negatively affected. Already, the ordinary shares have been impaired to a negative value, the subordinate loans preference shares may also have been impaired. The company’s CEO has already written the Scheme, indicating its inability to pay the dividend on preference shares,” the audit report disclosed.

Should BBCI become insolvent because of its current loss-making position, considering its issues with the Government regarding the lowering of the bridge toll, its inability to generate adequate money to meet its obligations, and the fact that the company does not own a bridge, the investors’ investments will be at severe risk of not being recovered.

Today has been declared a National Day of Reflection in Guyana under the theme "Reflect, Celebrate, Inspire". This indicates that the government is willing to reflect on its performance during the past 12 months and to inspire confidence among the population.

One year and they have not kept half the 100 days promises and they all living the new cabal living the high life while the people suffering more than they were when Jagdeo was there.

 

That means the people gone backwards thanks the Granger.

The Coalition government has been singularly comatose, be it going after criminals, including malfeasance of public figures in the previous Administration, Bai Shan Lin, revving the economy, etc.

I find it lacking in assertiveness. It's one thing to be rid of the malaise of the previous Administration, but by God, make some noise and be transformative. I'm disappointed I tell ya. Staying Trumpian, they are a yuuuge disappointment, and no amount of Jalil's piktcha-like-a-piktcha can change that. The good thing is that it's only been a year, but by bejeezus, wake up Coalition!!

He noted that as the chairman of the Board of NIS for the period 2011-2015, within which the audit was done, neither the auditor nor the Government had afforded the board the professional convention of first responding to the audit findings.

Former Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Luncheon said his board was “unceremoniously relieved of its appointment and responsibilities in May 2015, and (was) eventually replaced en bloc, with the exception of an APNU-nominated member.”

Noting that the General Manager of the NIS is by law a member and deputy chairman of the board, Dr Luncheon said the forensic auditor failed to address the issue of whether evidence was unveiled that established that the board had conducted its affairs and obtained financial benefits from irregular actions.

“The findings of the forensic audit that have been displayed in the press should and must be answered. Were the financial auditor or the Granger Government so inclined to solicit such an intervention, it should have been directed to the competent authority,” Dr Luncheon said.

The audit report, done by Ramesh Seebaran and released by the Ministry of Finance, highlighted that NIS office at Corriverton, built in 2011 for $69.9M, was later valued at $37.9M. The report said the Lot 8 Springlands, Corriverton, Berbice building was reconstructed in 2010/2011 and commissioned in 2011 at cost of $69,923,940.

Focusing on the scheme’s investment in the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI), the auditor said the company has several investments in the BBCI; namely corporate bonds — $1,060,000,000; subordinated loan $500,000,000 (which is a debt that ranks after other debts if a company falls into liquidation or bankruptcy); preference shares – $950,000,000; and common shares – $80,000,000.

The ability of BBCI to pay interest, dividends and capital repayment will depend on its ability to generate profits. To date, it has made accumulated losses of $1,507,062,759 based on its 2014 audited financial statements.

“As a result, the investment in BBCI’s common shares may now be impaired, as the current net worth of an ordinary share is $2.77 based on its 2014 audited financial statements.”

Further, it was noted that the 2014 audited financial statements showed that the company signed a concession agreement with the Government of Guyana for the design, construction, development, operations and maintenance of the Berbice Bridge, pursuant to the terms and conditions established within this agreement.

The agreement is for a period of 21 years, unless terminated or extended by mutual agreement or in accordance with any other provisions within the agreement.

When the 2012 audit was finalised in May 2015, it became known to management that the company does not own a bridge, but instead a licence to operate a bridge, even though the scheme had two of its directors on the company’s board.

“This resulted in the auditors reclassifying the cost of the bridge and a building from Fixed Assets to ‘Concession Assets’ and restated the 2010 and 2011 audited financial statements. The effect of the reclassification resulted in those years which had declared taxable profits now showing significant losses.” These losses arose because the Concession Agreement is for a period of 21 years, therefore the bridge is now amortised over that period, whereas it was previously depreciated over a 70-year period.

A copy of the Concession Agreement was not available for review by the auditor. Based on the information available to the auditor, it was discovered that there is a “material uncertainty that cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

“It means therefore, that the Scheme’s investment in the BBCI is almost certain to be negatively affected. Already, the ordinary shares have been impaired to a negative value, the subordinate loans preference shares may also have been impaired. The company’s CEO has already written the Scheme, indicating its inability to pay the dividend on preference shares,” the audit report disclosed.

Should BBCI become insolvent because of its current loss-making position, considering its issues with the Government regarding the lowering of the bridge toll, its inability to generate adequate money to meet its obligations, and the fact that the company does not own a bridge, the investors’ investments will be at severe risk of not being recovered.


 

Good thing the real cons got booted.

Congratulating the AFC/PNC clowns is quite a huge embarrassment.

They are a bunch of crooks, conmen and liars who filled their pockets and are sucking the blood of ordinary Guyanese with their mega salaries.

These AFC/PNC Clowns and crooks :

Are yes to prove claims of PPP corruption. They have proven ZERO. Yes, these clowns have prove zero and talk shyte all day long. To these AFC/PNC clowns: Talk is cheap. 

Harmon has proven to be corrupt yet the AFC is scared to bell the cat.

Moses and Ramjattan are like stray dos and lack any real power. They are like blow blow.

Crime is out of control. No amount of damage control can help that clown Ramjattan.

Granger threw Indo Guyanese rice farmers under the bus.

Indos are being discriminated against and replaced by Afro in an ethnic cleansing.

The rice and sugar industry are dead.

The economy is in the toilet.

Transparent Public procurement process has been thrown in the toilet by these clowns and liars.

Indo Guyanese are fleeing the country to escape blatant racism and a lack of job or employment opportunities.

There is no new foreign investments. These AFC/PNC clowns ae sponging off what the PPP already left in place.

These clowns declared that the treasury was empty yet these clowns are sponging off what the Billions the PPP left int he treasury. That is the PNC way, eat, spend and destroy.

They have not even built a toilet.

The list goes on and on. Posters can add to the list of failures.

Wait, we are still awaiting on a recent of the rigged election.

Wait, the PPP trashed these AFC/PNC clowns at the Local Elections.

Finally, these clowns should stop talking and at least attempt to run the country, then again what are clowns capable of ?

Conclusion:

It would be foolish to even consider congratulating these AFC/PNC clowns. Then again, there are fools and sheep everywhere and the AFC were conned and their supporters thrown in the Atlantic Ocean by a bunch of conmen and liars.

NIS audit – Luncheon cries foul

The PPP did a fender bender. Guyana  is heading for a massive train wreck...just like the old good days until the treasury is empty AGAIN.

The audit is an act of corruption by itself. There is a conflict of interest since the Auditors are political supporters for the ruling party. Excessive fees are being paid to the auditors and very little finding, if any of Corruption being provided. Nothing concrete has come out to implicate anyone of misapproriating assets of the state. The Audit is just a cover up for draining money out of public funds.

PPP will NOT win the 2020 general elections. Firstly, the party's Indian voting base is diminishing steadily through deaths and emigration. Secondly, no black person in his/her right sense will vote PPP".

This statement is anti-indos and racist to indicate that no blacks will ever vote for the PPP.

The Coalition government has been singularly comatose, be it going after criminals, including malfeasance of public figures in the previous Administration, Bai Shan Lin, revving the economy, etc.

I find it lacking in assertiveness. It's one thing to be rid of the malaise of the previous Administration, but by God, make some noise and be transformative. I'm disappointed I tell ya. Staying Trumpian, they are a yuuuge disappointment, and no amount of Jalil's piktcha-like-a-piktcha can change that. The good thing is that it's only been a year, but by bejeezus, wake up Coalition!!

Kari, your comments are appreciated.

The election was rigged:

The election was rigged. The Guyanese voters were disenfranchised. The ABC countries are good for installing dictators in country's that they want to influenced and maintain their third world status. They knew that Granger would suck up to them and run the country down. Granger was trying to get advance money for the oil under the ocean, but he failed because they don't trust him.
