Opposition Parties Insult the Amerindian People

 Farming out the loss of  graft options to  you fat cats as loss of Amerindian largess is not going to cut it. Why were they not in the budget for 20 years?  The list of PPP injustice against Amerindians is long. Pretending to "save" them is such an insult that even you cannot sell that for long. The only thing being revealed these past few weeks is the extent the PPP will go in its disinformation campaign rather than correct its corrupt ways. The resistance to change is going to be your downfall. It is an evil path you are on so evil always loses.

The Ameridians are being robbed blind by the PPP, who then blame the AFC for the thefts. It is a matter of financial facts that the government from Norway has provided Guyana with the funds required to improve the use of natural energy resources for the Ameridindians. But the PPP has not done so. Instead they are trying to claim that the Amerindians are going to suffer a loss of the solar cells since it is being cut from the budget. Nonsense. Those solar panels are not part of the budget. They are part of the payment made by Norway.

So if the Amerindians are not getting their solar panels, where has the money from Norway gone?

Somebody please tell Mr. T that Guyana did not collect any money from Norway yet.

Mr.T's head is in the sand and is oblivious of the effects of the budget cuts.

and somebody need to tell the PPP one dollar is more than the nothing they have in the budget from LCDS so far! Can you cut what does not exist?

Yeah? Either you are involved in the misappropriation of that money, or you are involved in telling scare stories to the Amerindians.

Mr T Sir, Can you kindly research FACTS before you open your mouth. It is not looking good, in fact you are certainly making a FOOL of yourself. Please Bhai, do nit for your Family.

This is NOT GR and his BUNCH of SNAKEOIL SALESMEN but REAL GUYANESE. The SHAMELESS PRICKS are the lowest of the LOW. If these BASTARDS have any SHAME they will respond to these People.The FACT is that they dont care RAT's ASS about the Amerindian People. They talk the talk but cant walk the walk. WHAT A BLOODY SHAME. IMAGINE MOSES NAGAMOOTOO IS PART OF THIS GROUP. THIS IS INDEED A BLOODY SHAME. I KNOW THESE IDIOTS WILL CLAIM THE GOVT PAID THESE PEOPLE. THESE SHAMELESS POWER HUNGRY ROBBER BARRONS. I WOULD NOT HAVE IMAGINED THAT SOMEONE LIKE MOSES WHO PREACHED ABOUT DIGNITY, FAIRNESS AND OTHER ISSUES ARE PART AND PARCEL OF THIS INEPT GROUP. GOD HELP GUYANA BEFORE THESE INHUMAN BUNCH OF SNAKEOIL SALESMEN DESTROY OUR BEAUTIFUL GUYANA. IF THE KFC HAS ANY SHAME THEY WILL DO LIKE THE JAPANESE AND FALL ON SWORDS!!!!!!!!!!

You certainly have a very draconian way of judging people.  Could you be a bit more specific on your charge?

Ah gat to say AFC played right into PPP propaganda hands here. It was bound to come to this. It is like the Taliban putting innocent civilians to face bombs.

Minister Sukhai visits Orealla –underscores importance of accountability and transparency

-as village prepares for election

Georgetown, GINA, April 15, 2012

The principles of accountability, transparency and good governance were the centre of discussion between Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai and her team of officials from the ministry and residents of Orealla, a riverine community in Region 6.

Discussions with residents and the village council were also centered on the continued upward mobility of the village following preparations for the upcoming village elections, which will be held on April 23.

Addressing the residents and members of the village council of Orealla and the adjoining community Siparuta, at the Orealla meeting hall, Minister Sukhai said that the decision making process of the PPP/C Government is done through a process of consultations, involving the inputs from citizens, youth and seniors, and as such the same process should be applied at the village level.

“ It is very important for the residents of any village, young or old to always participate in the decision making or village activities, since togetherness will always breed success,” Minister Sukhai urged residents.

Amerindian communities, she said, across the country are becoming financially independent as Government continues to implement policies and programmes that are transforming their village economies and sustaining their traditional way of life and surroundings.

In this regard, she said that residents and members of the village council should always refer to the Amerindian Act which is a critical tool for the governance, accountability and transparency of their village economy.

Amerindian communities, she said are becoming more self-sufficient and economically advanced and, as such the village council should, and must always be accountable to their people.

“The issue of village accountability is not a new one…I have been working in the field of Amerindian affairs for many years and, I must say that Amerindian communities have come a far way when it comes to being accountable,” Minister Sukhai said.

This achievement, she said was not easy, “it was achieved because of the pressures that were placed on the village management by its people,” Minister Sukhai said.
The changing landscape of Amerindian communities, Minister Sukhai said is testimony to the prudent management of the economy by the PPP/C administration and its people centered approach and such should be applied at the village level.

“The residents of this village should always have meaningful engagement with the Council because the management of the village economy is for the betterment of the residents…so the community has the right to know the financial position of the village, but at the same they should not abuse their rights,” Minister Sukhai urged.

While informing residents about the provision in the Amerindian Act which caters for the elections of new Toshaos and village councils every three years, she urged residents to continue working for the betterment of the community regardless of who are elected to manage the Villages' affairs.

The Amerindian Act specifies clearly who can run for office as Toshao or member of the village council. The Amerindian acts states that a person may not stand for election or be elected as a Councilor unless he- is an Amerindian of at least 18 years of age, is a resident in the Village on the date of the nomination; has been continuously resident for a period of not less than three years immediately before his nomination provided that if a person has his principal home within the Village, any absence from the Village for education, employment or health care shall be disregarded in determining continuity of residence; and has not been convicted of a serious criminal offence involving violence or dishonesty.

Minister Sukhai also used the opportunity to reflect on the transformation of many Amerindian communities across the country and, numerous programmes that they continue to benefit from, including the annual presidential grants, school feeding and uniform programmes, hinterland secure livelihood programme, community development plans, unserved areas electrification programme, scholarship and hinterland road programmes, land demarcation, midwives’ training and the hinterland teachers’ upgrading programme.

“The remoteness of the communities or settlement patterns are not excuses for my Government as it has been investing in providing primary and basic social needs to Amerindians across the country,” Minister Sukhai said.

Government will continue to support the transformation of village economies, but residents also need to be integrally involved in the process and the relaxed attitude from some residents are affecting the rate of development, she said.

“The village has great income-generating capabilities and you,(residents) should work with the council and, at the same time exploit your indigenous knowledge and practices to promote your community to further expand your income generating activities,” Minister Sukhai said.

Prior to the meeting, the Minister and team toured the village where they interacted with the residents.

The main economic activities of the village are logging, agriculture, sand mining and small scale farming. The village is comprised of Arawaks, Waraus and Caribs.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, PRAPOGANDA MY ASS. YOU ARE INDEED SHAMELESS. GO TELL THAT TO THE POOR AMERINDIAN COMMUNITIES, YOUR HEARTLESS PIG!!!!!

A song for Nehru.Unconcious and other PPP propagandaists. Enjoy

PNC Cain AFC. 

 Amerindians are doing wonderful. @0 years under the PPP and 70 percent of them are still classified as extremely poor. Note the wb said 47% of Guyana is classified as poor with less than $47,000 per month  and 29% are classified as “extremely poor”  and these are those of  rural areas and Amerindians who live away from the coast.

LOL
