OI DG, SKELDON DUDE, YUGI, SPUNKEDANUS, REST OF Y'ALL PPP PEOPLE, Y'ALL READ ANY OF THIS?

GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK NUH.

Maybe we should make this one thousand reasons, why it will be a waste of time and effort to vote for a Corrupt PPP/C

The Guyanese voters in Guyana are not reading this. So what difference would 1000 reasons make? There can be 10,000 reasons...like throwing water on duck's back.

Skelly, the post says some 34,106 read this; rest assured that young voters are reading this, even if a few thousands were to have a mindset of dumping the PPP/C, (they will be voters come next election) then that number will  come back to haunt those crooks in the PPP/C 

Young people are largely forgotten

Half of Guyana’s population (about 50.9 per cent) is below the age of 24. And more than one-third (about 36.9 per cent) is between 25 and 54 years of age. The government, however, persists in the non-implementation of a coherent national policy to cater to the needs of this large number of young Guyanese. Young people are the nation’s future but they face monumental challenges. The spate of suicides among adolescents, the rising number of teenage pregnancies, the large number of school dropouts, the unavailability of new job opportunities, the reports of their being victims of police brutality and torture, the huge prison population (of which youth are said to comprise 75 per cent) and the predicament of juveniles in the New Opportunity Corps are all signs of a dangerous and deteriorating social situation. The Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport publicly announced on several occasions that the National Youth Policy would be reviewed. The problem is that he has promulgated no such ‘Policy.’ The result has been that youths continue to face difficult lives in the land of their birth. The single biggest problem at the national level, with dire implications for the future, has been the growing number of illiterate and innumerate youths. The Ministry of Education reports that nearly 7,000 children drop out of our primary and secondary schools every year. Youths who do not complete their basic education satisfactorily will find it difficult to get jobs. Joblessness among young people in the Caribbean Community, at an average of 23 per cent, is higher than many other developed and developing countries. The majority of young university graduates in Guyana, unable to find employment, are forced to migrate or remain out-of-work. The National Employment Report published by the International Labour Organisation, estimated that, based on Guyana’s Household Income and Expenditure Survey which was last undertaken over a decade ago, about 44 per cent of the population of working age are “not economically active.” This situation has arisen, in part, because the ‘one-size-fits-all’ education model has failed. For many students, it has little relevance to the needs in the communities in which they live. The economies of most regions, for example, are based on farming and fishing. There is also a great need for the expansion of public physical infrastructure such as airstrips, bridges, roads and stellings.  The education system therefore, should emphasise agricultural, engineering and technology so that school-leavers could be equipped with the skills to enable them to live and work comfortably in their areas of residence. It does not. The government is aware of the mismatch between education and employment. Its response, in the absence of a coherent policy, however, has been hopelessly haphazard. Five government ministries – the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs; Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport; Ministry of Education; Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Labour – jostle each other to offer a variety of unrelated, short-term training courses all aimed at unemployed, out-of-school young people. They all promise but do not provide, the long-term careers that youths desperately seek. The Ministry of Amerindian Affairs conducts a multi-million dollar Youth Apprenticeship and Entrepreneur Programme (YAEP).  The Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport conducts the Youth Entrepreneurial Skills Training (YEST) programme. The Ministry of Home Affairs offers training in what it calls “life skills” under its Citizen Security Programme (CSP). The Ministry of Labour conducts a two-year programme called the National Training Project for Youth Empowerment (NTPYE). Programmes such as the President’s Youth Choice initiative (PYCI) and the President’s Youth Award Republic of Guyana (PYARG) have failed long ago. They had little impact on youths over the years. There are many programmes but there has been little progress in solving the problems facing young people. Despite the ferment of initiatives – CSP; NTPYE; PYCI; PYARG; YAEP and YEST – there have been few new job opportunities. Too many Guyanese youths still leave school unskilled, enter the workforce for the first time and are obliged to resort to the informal sector for employment in low-paying occupations.  Four out of every ten youths face a jobless future.

It would seem that APNU/AFC is targeting this group, the PPPC is scared to death.

Jalil it look like yuh boy shitstains gone off the deep end........

Honorable Jalil what are you gonna do to salvage your boy The Great Shitstains?

Dr. Ifill said Opadeyi makes $3.12 million a month, plus his side job.

I believe that makes him the highest paid govt employee in Guyana.  Wow?

They fell for the Nigerian scam.

UG staff and students need to hold their strain and refuse to go back to work unless their demands are met else sit out till may 11.

Basically they need to ramp up their protests. The Coalition needs to join these workers and Sugar workers and rice farmers and every other group that is persecuted by this government needs to come together and protest at Turkeyen.

Hughes: Sentence for PM’s son vacated with magistrate’s firing

Just posted on Nigel Hughes’ FB page re the firing today of Magistrate Geeta Chandan Edmund, the consequence of which is that Sam Hinds Jr who was found guilty of wounding will have to be retried.

“Press Release. On the 16th day of January 2014 Magistrate Geeta Chandan Edmund was written to by the Judicial Service Commission in relation to the following allegations Absence from a Magistrate’s Association meeting to discuss the Sexual Offenses Act Medical leave for two days between the 5th and 7th June 2013 Absence for sick leave. Failure to report absence of work to the Chancellor. Inability to deliver 19 decisions Failure to respond to queries from the Chief Magistrate. Departure from Guyana on the 20th day of January 2013 without approval. There was no allegation of misconduct leveled against Ms Chandan Edmund. There was no hearing or any invitation to any hearing on the allegations for the entire year of 2014. Samuel Hinds Junior was charged with a serious criminal offense of unlawful wounding on the 3rd March 2014. Magistrate Geeta Chandan Edmund conducted the trial and found Samuel Hinds Junior guilty on the 6th February 2015. The Magistrate deferred sentencing Mr. Hinds to allow a Probation Report to be prepared and adjourned the matter to 20th February 2015. On the 13th day of February 2015 at 4.15 PM the Judicial Service Commission in excess of one year after they laid the above allegations against Magistrate and four days before the date sent for sentencing of Samuel Hinds Junior, the Judicial Service Commission instructed Magistrate Chandan Edmund to attend a hearing on the 18th day of February 2015. On Monday the 16th day of February 2015 Counsel for the Magistrate wrote to the Judicial Service Commission inquiring bout the format and procedure which the Commission intended to pursue at the hearing. On the 18th day of February 2015 the Magistrate in the company of her Attorney attended the Judicial Service Commission where Counsel for the Magistrate inquired about the rules under which the Commission intended to deliberate , the procedure to be adopted particularly whether it was an adversarial or inquisitorial proceeding. Counsel further pointed out to the JSC that there was no rule which required the Magistrate to notify the Chancellor and or seek his permission prior to her departure from the Country. The Commission conceded that there was no such rule in existence either in the Judicial Service Commission Rules or the Public Service Rules but said that there was a standard administrative practice that the Chancellor approve her departure The Commission further informed the Magistrate that they were not obliged to specify what procedure they intended to pursue as they were going ahead with the inquiry. The complainant and the adjudicator in the entire proceedings was the the Judicial Service Commission. Every single allegation leveled against the Magistrate was answered and refuted with the production of documentary evidence including a letter from the Doctor who examined Ms Chandan Edmund. On Friday the 20th February 2015 when the case of the Police V Samuel Hinds Junior was called, the probation officer was unable to produce a Probation Report thereby forcing an adjournment. At 2.15 pm on the same day the Magistrate was informed “ the Commission therefore considers it both necessary and appropriate, that it is in the public interest that you be forthwith discharged from further magisterial duty”. The immediate effect of the termination of the Magistrate’s service is that the verdict against Mr. Hinds is vacated and a new trial before a different Magistrate will now follow. The Magistrate intends to pursue all legal remedies available to her up to the Caribbean Court of Justice
