1960-2013

Anyone who knows Ralph will tell you

Ralph is a Honest, Decent and Sincere politician.

He is a no nonsense person...

but very Humble Team Player

 Ralph is not a person

Who will lie, Boast, Cuss or

Buse Down like a Thugs.

1999-2012

Under Jagdeo the entire Party lost it's track,

and after Jagdeo left office

Ralph felt it is time for the PPP to put itself in Order.

Ralph charged that the PPP was no longer driven

by the working class ideology that had moved its founders

but was now in the grip of oligarchs,

avaricious contractors and corrupt bureaucrats

all locked in a cycle of greed, enrichment and illegality.

In 1999

When and How Jagdeo became President

left everyone shocked,

Freedom House became a Battle Ground.

2001

One time things got so heated

Rohee ran Jagdeo out with a Chair

because Jagdeo Removed Rohee

as Foreign Affairs Minister.

Jagdeo had to work Quickly to polish it off

by creating a new Ministry called 

"Foreign Trade" for Rohee.

Initially Robert was put in charge to deal with the Black Thugs,

then later Jagdeo skillfully convince Rohee

he need to assist Robert with the Thugs because

he (Rohee) is the closest the PPP have as a Street Thug

and his skills and expertise is needed to hold on to power.

1999-2013

Ralph saw the Big mistake the PPP made

was when Jagdeo turned to the Drug Dealers

to deal with the Crime situation

that was getting out of hand

very early in his Presidency.

Ralph knew the Safety and

Security of the Country was now in

the hands of the powerful Narco Drug Lords

and their army include.... a dangerous  combination of

(1) the Black PNC House of Isreal Thugs,

(2) Rogue Police Officers 

(3) Rogue GDF Soldiers.

Roger Luncheon called then

"the Phantom Killers"

During Jagdeo's Presidency ........

the Govt got full Protection from

"the Phantom Killers" .......

in exchange for

(1) the Safe Passage of

"Drugs, Guns, Money & Contra-ban Goods"

by the Drug Lords

(2) Safety from International Prosecution & Law

for the Drug Lords.

This Evil partnership and agreement exist up to today.

2006-2011

During Jagdeo's last years in office

he was able to win over

De Miniser of Thuggery Rohee's

total support and Loyalty

by offering him two things

(1) making him Minister of Home Affairs .....

now fully incharge of the Police, GDF and

the National Security of the Country.....

in Addition" Chief of the Phanton Squad" 

Thugs/Drug Lords Alliance.

(Some Crab Louse still cant understand...

Why Rohee Visa got Taken away)

(2) A promise to move Rohee up

to the Position of General Secretary in the Party

to keep eyes on people like Ralph.

2012

Now with Jagdeo out of office, Ralph felt it was safe

(1)to clean up this mess in the party and

(2)get the PPP back on track and

(3) weed out the Pimps, Prostitutes, Parasites,

Panty-Men, Dutty Crab-Louse, Funny Fellas,

Narco Influence, Vultures and

the Black House-of-Israel Thugs that

Jagdeo needed to keep him in power

1950-1997

Ralph was Close to Jagan and knew Jagan never had to form alliances with these hated low lives, scums or thugs for support......

Jagan's energy support was fueled by the working class, the Hard working Guyanese Farmers, Cane Cutters, Laborers, Civil Servants and all those who stood up for law and order.

2012

Ralph's attempt to clean the Party

was immediately met with Raw Hostility from Rohee.....

things got so nasty..... and that caused

(1) Ralph to Instantly Resigned,

(2) Decide to expose all the Corruption

(3) End all relationship with Jagdeo & Ramotar 

      Gang on "Dutty Funny Fellas". 

2013

Rohee recently appointed

General Secretary of the Party

He who live a life of trickery should not preach morality.

Keep on braying. Need some more hay?

1999-2012

Under Jagdeo the entire Party lost it's track,

and after Jagdeo left office

Ralph felt it is time for the PPP to put itself in Order.

Ralph charged that the PPP was no longer driven

by the working class ideology that had moved its founders

but was now in the grip of oligarchs,

avaricious contractors and corrupt bureaucrats

GUYANA PARCEL OUT AND GIVING AWAY

THE RADIO LICENCES FIASCO: COURT CASE CONTINUES

Radio licence court case … Govt. asks

for more time to file defence

Lawyers representing Government and a number of companies that were granted approval for radio and cable licences by outgoing President Bharrat Jagdeo back in 2011, has asked for more time to file its defence.
Chief Justice (ag), Ian Chang, who is hearing the matter, has now set the next court date for November 14, as the case continued yesterday in the High Court.
The legal challenge was filed by the National Media Publishing Company, publisher of Kaieteur News, and the Guyana Media Proprietors Association Limited (GMPA). It named Attorney General, the Minister of Broadcasting, National Frequency Management Unit (NFMU), Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) and 12 recipients that were approved for licences by Jagdeo shortly before he ended his term in office in November 2011.
Attorney General Anil Nandlall was in court yesterday.

The applicants for the licences were Radio Guyana Inc- owner of Guyana Times and TVG 28; Telcor and Cultural Broadcasting Inc.; NTN Radio – owner of Channel 69; New Guyana Company Limited-owner of The Mirror newspaper; Rudolph Grant; Wireless Connection; Hits and Jams Entertainment; Alfro Alphonso and Sons; Haslyn Graham and Little Rock Television Station. E-Networks Inc and Quark Communications Inc, two companies approved for cable licences, were also named as the Respondents.
According to court documents signed by Publisher of Kaieteur News, Glenn Lall, and filed by his lawyer, Roysdale Forde, the licences were issued under the old Post and Telegraph Act and were done in bad faith, are discriminatory and not legal.
The media houses and Lall said that the licences breached their legitimate expectations and constitutional rights. It pointed to an agreement dated May 5, 2003 between Jagdeo and former Opposition Leader, Robert Corbin, where it was agreed there would be a freeze on all new commercial frequencies for radio and television until a new Broadcasting Act came into effect.
Jagdeo’s exercise of his discretion to approve new radio, TV and cable operations was abused and unreasonable also.
The media houses asked for court orders to quash the licences.
Regarding the cable TV licences to E-Network and Quark, reportedly owned by Vishok Persaud and Brian Yong respectively, friends of the former President, the media houses also want these to be quashed on the same grounds.
Valmiki Singh, head of the NFMU, is also being asked to produce a statement to the court of all available radio, television and cable frequencies in Guyana.
Lall and GMPA, in asking for the court to issue an order for TV and radio broadcast licences to be granted to them, also want a declaration that the frequency spectrum is a national resource.
They are also asking in excess of $1M for aggravated damages and an unspecified amount for exemplary damages.
In the affidavit supporting the constitutional challenge, Lall said that in December 2008 he applied to Prime Minister Sam Hinds to operate a cable TV network; a radio station and a TV station.
He sent copies to NFMU and on February 26, 2009, received an acknowledgment. The court documents also listed the case of C.N. Sharma who applied for a radio licence but was turned down.
Veteran journalist, Enrico Woolford, of Capitol News, has also filed similar court action back in April.
There has been widespread condemnation from Guyanese and both local and international media associations on circumstances surrounding the granting of the licences by Jagdeo. The timing and the fact that he did not wait on the Broadcast Authority to do its work were also heavily criticised.
Not only was Jagdeo’s best friend, Dr. Ranjisinghi ‘Bobby’ Ramroop, approved for five frequencies but Telcor is linked to sitting Minister of Natural Resources, Robert Persaud, who also was approved for a similar number. New Guyana Company also was approved a similar amount.

ANYTHING SO THAT THE PPP/C DO NOT

GET AWAY WITH CORRUPTIONS

APNU TO HANDCUFF THE PPP/C

APNU will amend law to restructure

Financial Intelligence Unit – Harmon

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) will be amending the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill, when the proposed piece of legislation comes up for debate. Among the changes the party will pursue is the restructuring of the Financial Intelligence Unit.
The Financial Intelligence Unit, headed by Paul Geer, is housed in the Ministry of Finance and collects reports of suspicious financial transactions which are then passed onto the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
APNU’s Executive Member, Joseph Harmon, said that among the amendments to be proposed is how appointments are made.
He said, too, that APNU will also be looking to strengthen the capacity of the FIU through legislative means.
According to Harmon given the manner in which the Bill is being returned to the House, several of the submissions made to the Special Select Committee would have been ignored or left out and as such these matters will have to be ventilated on the floor of Parliament.
He said, too, that APNU will also be looking to amend the relationship provided for under the substantive law, between the Attorney General and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Asked about support from the Alliance for Change (AFC) which would be required in order to have the proposed amendments approved in the House, Harmon responded in the affirmative.
According to the APNU Executive Member, that party has been in talks with the AFC both in the Special Select Committee and outside of it.
Harmon told this publication that there is a “convergence of concerns” between the two parties on the shortcomings of the current legislation and as such the AFC is expected to be supportive of the amendments.
This past week the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, had explained the reason behind the government’s rush to wrap up the work of the Special Select Committee that was tasked with addressing the amendments and said that it was simply a matter of time running out.
Chairperson of that Committee, Gail Teixeira, at the second meeting since emerging from the parliamentary recess, opted to close off the work of the body and submit the report back to the Full House so that there can be a debate and a vote on the Bill.
The Special Select Committee is not the end of the process since “it has to be taken to Parliament, debated, checked over, gazetted and then assented to.”
Those steps, according to Nandlall, “will take some time…so it is not that we can finish the entire process in a day or two.”
November 18 is the deadline set by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) regarding the amendments to the anti money laundering laws with the review being held in the Bahamas.
According to Nandlall, what must be fundamentally noted is that the amendments did not just come from the whims and fancies of Government but rather emanate from a review of the existing law by CFATF after which they recommended the legislative changes.
“We didn’t concoct it…These provisions came out of recommendations which the CFATF made,” said Nandlall.
In recent days, a number of bodies, including the Private Sector Commission, the Insurance Association of Guyana and the Guyana Association of Bankers have come out calling for the support of the political opposition when it comes to amending the law.
APNU had said that it wanted more time in order to come up with the best Bill possible, while the AFC had called for the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission as a prerequisite for their support.

Very sensible approach by APNU.

THE PPP/C BUNGLED SUPENAAM STELLING

Bungled $$$M ‘Supenaam Stelling’

indicative of PPPC’s incompetence

A section of the controversial Supenaam Stelling

 

it is time that the people of Guyana demand accountability – Corbin

Opposition Leader, Robert Corbin, lambasted the ruling administration yesterday over certain projects over the years. He drew specific reference to the current fiasco surrounding the $500M Supenaam Stelling.
Corbin said that the stelling which has now been condemned as “inoperable” and unsafe for use, is the latest example of the People’s Progressive Party Civic regime’s incompetence, corruption and wastage of Guyana’s financial resources throughout its period of existence in Government, ever since 1957.
He said that the inconsistent explanations from the various agencies of the government, and, the “Rip-van-Winkle like” call by President Jagdeo for the Prime Minister “to undertake a formal review of this project, particularly in the specific areas of dispute”, may have been an amusing episode if the resources involved were not the property of the taxpayers of Guyana.
Corbin said that the actions of the “President and his men create” the impression that such shoddy work is an unusual occurrence when, “in fact, such shoddy performance, corruption and unaccountability have been characteristic of the PPP Government since 1957.” The Opposition Leader posited that older Guyanese would remember the infamous, Del Conte road on the East Bank of Essequibo.
“Millions were spent, but nothing was there to show…The squander mania and mismanagement of the British Guiana Rice Marketing Board is another example…Millions of dollars were siphoned off to party supporters until the Board collapsed.”
He said that the younger Guyanese would be au fait with the fiasco of the disappearing or floating wharf at Essequibo.
“Millions of dollars were again spent on constructing a wharf, which disappeared into the Pomeroon River shortly after completion.”
Corbin recalled that the nation was advised that the contractor responsible would have been penalised, “but within months, the very contractor delivered further sub-standard works on contracts awarded to him at Wakenaam, Essequibo Islands.”
The collapse of a koker door recently at Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara resulted in another blame-game according to Corbin, “but the reality is that these are every day occurrences in Guyana.”
It was pointed out that the sub-standard works being delivered on most Government contracts have been the subject of regular media reports but the government appears satisfied to issue regular statements of the huge amount of money awarded on contracts rather than whether the people of Guyana have had value for money spent.
Speaking specifically of the Supenaam stelling, Corbin noted that the contractor claims that it was built according to the design and in full compliance with all technical specifications.
“They claimed that the sunken pontoon was not part of the design and thus was not built or placed by them, hence they were not the ones who messed up.”
They (Contractor), Corbin reiterated, expressed the view that modification of the structure should not have proceeded without consultation with the design and construction firms.
“They concluded that the project was satisfactorily completed and a Completion Certificate, issued on January 19 last by the employer certifying that all defects, if any, were made good to the satisfaction of the consultants…The structure, they claimed, was successfully tested “in the presence of two ministers of the government and other stakeholders”.
Corbin said that “significantly, the Minister (Robeson Benn), who has earned national recognition for his competence at destruction, took over modification of the stelling and, in his usual style, did an excellent job at that.”
The opposition leader stressed that the said “Minister of Demolition” remained silent for days after the initial exposure, and eventually, accused the contractor of “oligarchic aspirations” and stated that their public statements were simply “eye pass” of him and rude.
“He then claimed that earlier defects as identified by his Ministry had not been addressed by the contractor…Yet, in the same statement, he informs the nation that his Ministry was not responsible for supervision…He went on to say, however, that guided by economic reasons, his Ministry proceeded with the installation of the drawbridge to guarantee the safe offloading and reloading of vehicles, particularly trucks.”
Corbin posited that Guyanese now want to know why a completion certificate was issued. “It is time that the people of Guyana demand accountability

OAS to probe state of corruption in

Guyana

The state of corruption in Guyana will be placed under the microscope next month when MESICIC, the mechanism for follow-up on the implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, undertakes an onsite visit here.
Moreover, the mechanism, which is a body of the Organisation of American States (OAS), will require that seven oversight bodies appear before it including the: Audit Office of Guyana; the Public Service Commission; the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board; the Director of Public Prosecution; the Judicial Service Commission; the Integrity Commission and the Commission of Information.
Thus far, of the seven agencies identified for scrutiny, only five have agreed and have proceeded to name their representatives to meet with officials of MESICIC, which will include a Sub-Group made up of three representatives from Haiti and one from Trinidad, who are scheduled to arrive between October 6 and 7.
However, the actual review will take place on October 8, 9 and 10, according to Presidential Advisor, Gail Teixeira.
Teixeira made the disclosure when she addressed media operatives at the most recent Cabinet Press briefing on Thursday.  During her deliberations Teixeira said the review is in fact nothing new since Guyana had been subjected to such undertakings in the past.
According to her, Guyana signed unto the OAS Convention in 2001 and is among 31 countries that have embraced this Convention.
Once countries sign unto the Convention they are permitted to name a lead expert to be a part of MESICIC. Guyana has so named Teixeira since 2008. “I sit in the MESICIC as an expert with the Canadian, American and other experts and I am very au fait as a member of that (MESICIC) Committee… what are the inadequacies of other countries including Canada in relation to the implementation and upholding of the obligations under the Inter-American Convention against Corruption…”
The Presidential Advisor lashed out at recent disclosures in this publication made by newly appointed Canadian High Commissioner to Guyana, Nicole Giles, who expressed some concern about the state of corruption in Guyana.
According to Teixeira she was “taken aback by the Canadian High Commissioner, who is a brand new person to Guyana, and while she is free to her opinion, and the opinion I assume of her Government, I feel the way in which it is presented it is an unfortunate one in terms of Guyana/Canada relations.”
The commencement of the MESICIC review here on October 8 will entail discussion with civil society organisations. And according to Teixeira a total of 12 such organisations have been invited to interact with the MESICIC officials and undertake the role of umbrella body for entities of labour, business and the legal profession.
Also expected to participate in the discussion will be representatives from the Transparency Institute of Guyana among other organisations. “Four (civil society organisations) have accepted so far and have named their representatives; the other eight we are following-up with them to make sure that the civil society session has a broad representation,” informed Teixeira.
The discussion with the representatives of the civil society organisations will address issues of conflict of interest, systems for registration, declaration of income, assets and liabilities, access to public information and mechanisms to encourage participation of civil society in efforts to prevent corruption.
The visiting team is also expected to craft a report based on its findings which for the following few months will be reviewed by the Sub-Group. And according to Teixeira, Guyana, as the subject country under review, will have an opportunity to make corrections and clarifications before being reviewed by other Member States at a plenary in March.
Guyana, Teixeira disclosed, underwent an initial review in 2006, then in 2008 and a third time in 2011.
Currently all Member States are preparing for the fourth cycle review of the implementation of the Convention against Corruption.
“In 2011 September when we completed the review of all the countries in the third round review, the (MESICIC) Expert Committee decided that the fourth round would include onsite visits to countries and it would follow up on the recommendations made during the first round review in the 2006 period,” disclosed Teixeira.
So far 15 of the 31 countries have been reviewed, and Guyana, according to Teixeira, will be undergoing its fourth review along with Canada, Grenada and Jamaica.
The review of each country will, among other things, entail the examination of hiring practices, rules of hiring, disciplining, promoting, and looking at the oversight bodies within each of the countries.
In addition to the OAS Convention, Guyana has signed unto and ratified the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which was established in 2007, and will be up for a first cycle review next year. The latter, according to Teixeira, has similar mechanisms as MESICIC.

US State Dept Report highlights rampant government corruption in Guyana

Guyana Government indifferent to

Corruption – US State Department

Government’s apparent ineffectiveness in implementing laws that provide for criminal penalties for corruption by public officials has been highlighted by the United States of America 2012 Human Rights Report.
The report, which was released over the weekend, stated that there remains widespread public perception of corruption involving officials at all levels, including the police and the judiciary.
“The World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators assessed that government corruption was a serious problem,” the report said.
The Guyana Police Force bore the brunt of the report’s assessment, which pointed to allegations of police officers being connected to the drug underworld.
In October 2011 the Guyana Police Force’s Crime Chief submitted a report to the Minister of Home Affairs regarding allegations by a senior officer that many officers had connections to drug dealers.
According to the report, the Minister considered it but has so far taken no action.
In fact, one of the officers against whom the allegations were made is still driving a BMW that reportedly belongs to an alleged drug dealer.
Meanwhile, the report zeroed in on the fact that public officials are subject to financial disclosure laws and are required to submit information about personal assets to the Integrity Commission.
However, although the Prime Minister had stated in June last year that members would soon be appointed to this Commission, it is still not up and running.
On June 14 last year, the National Assembly approved a government motion that members submit annual declarations in keeping with provisions of the Integrity Act, but compliance was uneven, and the Commission had no resources for enforcement or investigations.
The Act sets out both criminal and administrative sanctions for nondisclosure.
If a person fails to file a declaration, the fact can be published in the daily newspapers and the Official Gazette.
Failure to comply with the law can lead to a summary conviction, fines, and imprisonment for six to 12 months.
If property was not disclosed as it should have been, the Magistrate convicting the defendant will order the defendant to make a full disclosure within a set time frame.
The report said that no such publication or convictions have occurred.
When it comes to the Office of the Auditor General, the report was uncomplimentary.
The Office of the Auditor General scrutinizes the expenditure of public funds on behalf of Parliament and conducts financial audits of all publicly funded entities, including donor-funded entities, local government agencies and trade unions and reports to the National Assembly.
However, the US human rights report stated that the effectiveness of the office remained limited since the government may or may not act on the discrepancies noted in its reports.
“Observers noted that recurring discrepancies were repeatedly highlighted in the reports without officials taking appropriate follow-up actions to investigate and resolve the discrepancies,” the report highlighted.
The 2001 constitution called for the establishment of a Public Procurement Commission (PPC) to monitor public procurement and ensure that authorities conduct the procurement of goods and services in a fair, transparent, competitive and cost-effective manner.
However, the government never constituted the PPC despite public criticism of the present system’s ineffectiveness in awarding government contracts in an equitable and transparent manner.
The report stated that under pressure from opposition parties in parliament, the government promised to establish the PPC by June last year, but this has not yet materialized.
A 2011 Access to Information Act, intended to promote transparency and accountability within the government and public institutions, provided for persons to secure access to information under the control of public authorities and for the appointment of a Commissioner of Information.
Again the US human rights report highlighted that so far the government had not issued implementing regulations or appointed a Commissioner.

Now we know that the US State Dept is looking at the Corrupt PPP/C:

Re: Government’s apparent ineffectiveness in implementing laws that provide for criminal penalties for corruption by public officials has been highlighted by the United States of America 2012 Human Rights Report.

Jalil bhai we nailed it right down to one person, the Godfather of the Corrupt PPP/C

 Answer : A very private Business/Working Relationship which will soon be exposed. 

How soon can we expect this exposee relationship, we have seen that there was a relationsship, yet the PPP/C deny knowing Roger Khan. Are we going to expect any retrubution from Roger for this willful oversight from the PPP/C? There is opinions from some quarter that it will be payback time when Roger gets out, please comment.

As we go further with this, it gets more intriguing

quote "(3)Mr Doodnoath Singh drew the line with Jagdeo. Soon after he got very sick too as his health was getting down, he was getting tired of seeing all the corruption going on....until he quietly resigned. Jagdeo was refusing to give the man his pension and benefits....so he hauled the Govt to court and got his benefits thru a court order.....And he died later.

Was Godfather King Jagdoe, really responsible for his death, in some indirect way?

Quote "(2) Pundit was fine up to Dr Jagan Death, Pundit led the Guyana Delegation of top officials which came to Andrews Airforce Base in 1997 to take Back Dr Jagans Body to Guyana. He was not sick and he was still sparking on all his plugs.... still getting in trouble with some young girls.

But as soon as Jagdeo became President ....a strange sickness struck him down.....and he began to loose his marbles....and never recovered and Died.unquote

Again we have seen Panditji was robust, but just as Jagdoe came into the picture as President, a strange sickness struck him down. We know that he was suffering from Alzheimer, Was there allegedly some other disease, I am thinking that he might have been hook up with the wrong girl? I mean some infectious disease. I would have expect Panditji to go with a heart attack or a stroke or something like that. Did Jagdoe bring some knack from India?
