Ramjattan has a personal vendetta against Jagdeo. He is pissed off because he and Naga both were soundly rejected to lead the PPP. That was the correct decision in hindsight. We can now see that they are as "useless as tits on a bull".

I don't think that it is easy to prove illegality in the grant of the licences because if I recall correctly  BJ had delayed the coming into operation of the Broadcasting Act to facilitate he grant of licences before 2011 elections to his friends.

I tend to agree with Nagamootoo that the answer lies now in opening the grant of licences to all qualified persons. Any suit for damages will amount to naught as the State typically does not pay.

I was not in Guyana when the decision to select or elect Jagdeo as the leader of the party. In my opinion, the decision to select or elect Jagdeo was a good one. He won both his elections. I don't see Naga or Khemraj having any voice in "open governance". I read of undemocratic decisions within their government..dictatorship. The disaffected supporters have now realized that they have been given larwah by the two to hold on to.

The advise of the international community was to formalize the process of bandwidth allocation which the PPP agreed would be the process. But that crook jagdeo give away 10 of these frequencies to PPP kith and kin a month before he left office. That is blatant thievery however within the right the President was in the allocation. There are no formal broadcasting commission so if the President can give he can take.

If this cannot be pulled back then the million of acres they give away to their friends in wai wai territories cannot be rescinded as well. Why the hell are we doing audits of accounts or prattling we look into Pradoville? That would be double speak if they can do nothing to seek restitution for misuse or pilfering of state assets

That is bunk. It is the legitimizing of theft. It means the PNC can give away our assets left and right and however much we complain there is no avenue for redress in event of a change of government.

Leadership problems in the PPP and its methods of electing people into senior positions and leadership roles have come into question. Concerns about the superstructure of the party and how it has come back to haunt the party must not be ignored. The fallout in the PPP was a direct result of something that is in dire need of change.  The PPP must recognize that there is problem on how leaders are elected. Moses tearful plea to Berbicians was a protest against how the party elect its leader. This translated into votes for the PNC. This must not happen again.

Bryn Pollard SC makes excellent points. Unless an illegality can be proven in the award of licences then they are valid. That legitimate expectation doctrine  is a very powerful one.

I don't think that it is easy to prove illegality in the grant of the licences because if I recall correctly  BJ had delayed the coming into operation of the Broadcasting Act to facilitate he grant of licences before 2011 elections to his friends. That allowed him to grant the licences under the very old law that empowered him to do it. It was a crafty move. 

I tend to agree with Nagamootoo that the answer lies now in opening the grant of licences to all qualified persons. Any suit for damages will amount to naught as the State typically does not pay. 

I thought Ramjaatan is a lawyer, it shows that Nagga is a better lawyer, he knows the legality of a contract. Recently Rumjaat is putting his mouth in areas of government that he is not assigned, since he has failed in his own department, national security.

It is no contract. In Guyana this sort of Licence does not give contractual rights but it gives property rights, property rights are powerful and cannot be taken way unless granted illegally and it will be difficult to prove illegality. That is why Nagamootoo's proposed strategy might be best.

I think it is a matter of the government choosing its battles wisely.

Janet handpicked Jagdeo to succeed her in the presence of Ramjattan, Naga, Ramkarran, the PPP Central Committee, etc.  No one objected.  Shortly after that the second youngest President in the world was sworn in to a beautiful little country name Guyana.  Constitutionally, it was supposed to have been Sam Hinds to have succeeded Janet.  I don't know how that conversation went, but he quickly took out his pen to give up that right to Jagdeo.

The Presidency landed in Jagdeo (the Boy Prince's) lap and he did not even know what to do with it.  He had to sink or swim quick.  He chose to swim.  And he won the race!!!!

Yes he is on track. I agree with his approach. Open it up to all qualified persons who can be accommodated on the spectrum at this time. 

Separately, Recall that Raphael said that the audits will reveal not only illegalities but also administrative irregularities. And I dare say the audits will show those practices that amounted to blatant inequitable and immoral treatment. From what is already in the public domain and from what comes from the audits, the government will have to choose which battles it will fight legally, or  administratively and for which it will just reprimand the previous govt publicly. I maintain that the govt has to choose its battles wisely.

Yes. In essence, the frequency spectrum, a seemingly infinite resource is made somewhat functionally finite because it can only be tapped for broadcasting purposes through technology. But technology is evolving so very rapidly that there are many more portions available for broadcasting today than were available in 2011, and they are prime portions too. 

Nagamootoo can easily give effect to his intention.

Why all this talk about bandwidth allocation, and licensing, and frequency?  Those licenses are just a useless piece of paper.  Many of the areas that received coverage under these licenses no longer get any of these channels.  They were already shut down by the PNC.  Many of the people who used to listen to Freedom Radio no longer get it, especially in the Berbice area.   Even wifi is becoming a luxury in certain areas where people used to take it for granted.

I had to laugh a certain doctor friend of mine who thought the coalition would have solved every single problem in Guyana once they ascended to the throne.  He didn't have wifi for a week in his Georgetown mansion and when it was finally restored, he took to Facebook to rant about that problem.  Well the FB community had some choice words for him.

This physics here is clear and international convention demarked frequencies based on their potential to carry data. Technology has allowed more data to be packed in these regions and equipment to use formerly unusable areas but the characteristic of the region of the spectrum makes it easily usable and covering larger distances. Those regions are finite.

Their use can be creative as the user needs to be and for carrying all kinds of data.  It is not limited to what is being received presently or not. Who cares what channel is received if it is point to point transmission? Then there is its use simultaneously for phones or police cars or ship to shore or family radio or any of a hundred uses that has little to do with TV channels. These are valuable spectral real estate that could net the holder millions for any kind of data transmission. Multiplexing by holders of multiple licenses further increase their potential.

Apparently you don't understand broadcasting,for large area of coverage the broadcasting stations need high power transmitters or repeaters,tell the guys at freedom radio to increase the power of their transmitters[it cost money],the same applies to wifi,this area need good technicians i am in the field,they can hire me.

Nations like ours should break with wifi even though the equipment is cheap. We should use mesh tech since coverage and redundancies in rural areas is more the necessity and  robust in the long run.

The lies of the PNC/AFC will be unveiled as time passes.  Granger will be embarrassed to pursue further investigations and would prefer to leave it hanging to the "court of public opinion"!!

The PNC/AFC losers will never stand to the test with BJ and them PPP boys/girls.  They (Coalition) were born out of lies and deceit, an Original Sin which can never be washed away!!

The AFC clowns will cover their lies about dem "tief" but abie cyaant prove, but abie still smart.  That was the line of the famous TK.  It's like getting pregnant but denying intercourse.  Oh yes, immaculate conception, a real and viable concept, and no Original Sin!!

How stupid can one be,in a race it's the winner that counts the coalition won which mean the opposition is second best

Leadership problems in the PPP and its methods of electing people into senior positions and leadership roles have come into question. Concerns about the superstructure of the party and how it has come back to haunt the party must not be ignored. The fallout in the PPP was a direct result of something that is in dire need of change.  The PPP must recognize that there is problem on how leaders are elected. Moses tearful plea to Berbicians was a protest against how the party elect its leader. This translated into votes for the PNC. This must not happen again.

Another fair comment, Billy.

The advise of the international community was to formalize the process of bandwidth allocation which the PPP agreed would be the process. But that crook jagdeo give away 10 of these frequencies to PPP kith and kin a month before he left office. That is blatant thievery however within the right the President was in the allocation. There are no formal broadcasting commission so if the President can give he can take.

If this cannot be pulled back then the million of acres they give away to their friends in wai wai territories cannot be rescinded as well. Why the hell are we doing audits of accounts or prattling we look into Pradoville? That would be double speak if they can do nothing to seek restitution for misuse or pilfering of state assets

That is bunk. It is the legitimizing of theft. It means the PNC can give away our assets left and right and however much we complain there is no avenue for redress in event of a change of government.

 

 

Here comes more global warming. Save the ocean from your bilious hog wash.

You are an apt example of that ignorant troglodytes do given they have but the merest allocation of functional brain cells on account of being low on the human evolutionary tree.

More global warming.
