THE PPP/C HAS SPENT TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON WATER, THEY HAD OVER TWENTY YEARS TO GET IT RIGHT, AND UNTO NOW GUYANESE HAS TO SUFFER FOR DRINKING WATER:

 

THE MINISTER RESPONSIBLE AND THE LYING PRESIDENT RAMOTAR SHOULD TAKE THEIR CUPS AND GO TRY TO HAVE A DRINK THAT COMES OUT OF THE COVENT GARDEN FACILITY

 

NO WONDER THAT EVERYONE IS PISSED OF WITH THE PPP/C

It has been reported that the kfc has sabotaged the water, breaking the pipes and allowing contamination in an effort to discredit the gog. But the Ministry of Works is already effecting repairs.  In Burnham days and even Hoyte we had to put cloth over the pipes to filter out muck and then boil the water. How these idiots try to rewrite history.

Incompetence following Sheik Baksh wherever he goes

NOVEMBER 11, 2013 | BY  | FILED UNDER LETTERS 

Dear Editor,
It seems that everywhere Sheik Baksh goes he is followed by incompetence. He was at the Ministry of Housing, presiding over an entity that was in the news everyday for all the wrong reasons. Then he took over the Ministry of Education and the same thing happened; who can forget the “No child left behind” policy, which was rightly overturned by his successor.
Now he heads the Guyana Water Inc. and despite government’s boasts of increased provision of potable water to citizens, the water situation in Guyana is getting worse with every passing day. Let’s take my community of Melanie Damishana on the East Coast of Demerara for example.
I’ve lived there since the early 1990s and have never experienced been subjected to the poor service that I am currently experiencing. A few months ago, the GWI carried out a disconnection campaign in the area, cutting off supply to several households for non payment of water rates. I have no problem with that; but what I have a problem with is that after paying to have the water supply restored, GWI customers are now receiving a lower water pressure than they enjoyed before their water supply was cut off. We now have to fetch water I buckets even into our single flat homes. It is as if we are being punished twice. And to make matters worse, for the past two weeks we are now only receiving water for a few hours a day. Previously the pump at Melanie was turned on a little before six 0’clock in the mornings, giving workers enough time to have a bath before they leave for work. On a normal basis the water supply will cut off at eight giving us day workers enough time to get things done.
Now within the past two weeks, the water comes on at seven in the mornings if at all and then it goes off after an hour.
Is this the 21st century? No one is telling us what the problem is or how long we will have to live like we are back in the 1980s. Now the water company will want to blame the GPL, but I am not buying that! The GWI has been blaming GPL for decades now.
Can’t the GWI get it right? I made several queries at the Melanie Damishana GWI office and no one could give me a proper explanation; it’s as if the workers there are doing us a favour. Come on GWI, unlike in the 1980s, we are paying for water now!

It boggles your mind because it is small and does not understand the complexity of supplying water to a dispersed community. In the US many homeowners have to drill their own wells and manage their own water supply when they live outside of the area serviced by the utility companies. In Guyana the dependency is on govt for everything. Water is not an entitlement but rather a commodity that is paid for by consumers that is why it needs to be privatized. It is not a minister who is responsible for water but rather the private utility company.

What are you talking about dispersed community? People in Georgetown do not even get water in the shower unless they can afford a pumping system. I visit friends there every year and each time I go I see the next door neighbors fetching water into their homes for cooking, washing and showering. The water utility is managed by the government. It is not private. There was a constant flow of water in the 1970's. Why can't they have an adequate supply in the 21st century?

Stop being a skonthole and look at the problem like it is, with me I can go and buy ten five gallons bottles of water for my personal self, but a$$wholes like you, should be thinking of the many poor people in the district that is affected, and have no way of helping themselves.

I would expect that some one like you would have had the poor people plight (PPP) in your mind and would have contacted the highest authority to fix the problem. But nah, you want to be a bugga batty just like the PPP/C I cannot help but to cuss your ass down.

This is the problem with the afc/pnc, you teach the people to be helpless, lazy and have a sense of entitlement. Since when the provision of a commodity like water is the job of government? Back in PNC time we all had water tanks that catch the water from the roofs. In fact this brown water is a blessing in disguise and presents an opportunity for an enterprising person. Maybe if the AFC/PNC would take its drug money and spend it on a private water plant they can make money the legal way instead of robbing and killing people.

Skonthole why do you think that there is a Minister of Water? Do think that the taxpayers are paying him to rub and shine his balls, maybe if he had a godee like you he would not have to do that.

For a moderator you sure give a great example of how to converse. Did you contact GWI with your concerns? No, you immediately pounced on the govt. It leads me to believe that you had something to do with the water contamination, possibly paying a man to break the line and let in mud into the water supply.

AFC councillor details widespread corruption within party

WEDNESDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2013 15:38 ADMINISTRATOR
PrintPDF

By AFC Region 6 Councillor Haseef Yusuf

AFC Councillor, Haseef Yusuf

Nothing that the Alliance For Change (AFC) does or will do in the future will ever surprise me again. There is a saying that you only know someone when you deal with him. If I had not dealt with certain executive members of the AFC, I would still be singing their praises.I knew from the inception that Nigel Hughes would rescind his resignation because in the end, when you are in the same boat, you will never want to part company with your compadres. The ‘top guns’ in the AFC need each other’s support badly. They complement each other’s corrupt practices, as they try to outsmart their members and supporters.
However, recently there was a desperate attempt to get rid of me by the National Executive Committee of the AFC since I am not part of the corrupt ‘jahaaji’ network. They sent a message with an AFC Region 6 Councillor that if I am not pleased with the current policies and actions of the party then I should resign from the party and as an AFC Councillor. I told that Councillor in no uncertain terms that if the AFC is not pleased with my stance against cronyism and corruption and my promotion of national development, then they should expel me and furthermore, it is the corrupt ones within the AFC who should resign!


Ironically, it was the same Councillor who submitted exhaustive evidence of cronyism and corruption against an AFC MP at an inquiry, who claimed that he spent in excess of $4.5M on ‘bigan’ and ‘curass’. That was a ‘whitewash inquiry’ and even the Chairman of that inquiry, the then General Secretary Mr Sextus Edwards, was not aware of the press release which concluded that the entire episode was one of ‘misunderstanding and miscommunication.’ You cannot go against your own kind!
Subsequently, there was numerous evidence of corruption but I no longer have the resolve to bring it up. It was simply a case of you cannot fight the Devil’s case in Hell!

I will just itemize a few instances:

- Certain top members of the AFC will go abroad (Canada, USA) and members in the diaspora will hold fund- raisers and give monies collected to these members who will not submit the same in its entirety since proper accounting records are not kept. I was utterly shocked when the unaudited financial statement for 2012 showed that in one year the AFC only collected $22,087,500 from its chapters in the UK, Canada, USA, etc. During the 2011 campaign alone; one of the chapters in Canada sent $55,000 Canadian or $11,000,000 (Guyana dollars). I have evidence of this.


- Certain top AFC members will collect donations and not make any recordings in any receipt book or any document whatever.


- Monies are being spent with no proper bills or vouchers;


- positions are given to cronies and those who donate a lot.


- I saw a top AFC member collect monies and issue a receipt but on looking closer I saw that there was no carbon sheet, hence no duplication made. How was the balancing done?


- Everything was donated for a fund-raiser in Berbice and it made a loss!


- On Election Day 2011, food and drinks were diverted to some AFC members’ homes for their private use while some AFC polling agents went hungry;


- During the 2012 AFC convention, a motion was passed for AFC groups to bank all monies collected in a party account, this was never done. In fact, it was I who raised that motion which was unanimously passed. So much for accountability!

- During the 2011 elections there were three factions in Berbice and all were accusing each other about theft, mismanagement and corruption, but no investigation was done. The leaders of the AFC cannot afford to ‘rock the boat.’

- During the AFC 2012 convention, members were specifically instructed not to vote for the former General Secretary but to vote in favour of David Patterson. This also happened in the case of Moses Nagamootoo and Mrs. Punalall.

- Article 15(9) of the AFC Constitution stated that the National Executive Committee shall appoint an auditor annually yet the AFC presented an unaudited and inaccurate financial statement at the AFC 2012 Convention. There is no shortage of accountants and auditors within the AFC, so why no audited accounts?

- The financial statement which ended on February 2012 showed a surplus of $464,643 yet members were told after the 2011 Elections that the AFC owed Mrs Cathy Hughes a sum in excess of $ 7,000,000 and that the AFC MPs will have to make contributions towards offsetting that liability. How can there be a surplus when monies are owed? In other words, there were no bills to support the spending of $ 7 million! The financial statement did not speak of any liability! Here is a party that is preaching accountability but is utterly devoid of that concept in its internal dealings.

Is this the party that wants to run this country? It seems as if the worst from the PNC and PPP formed the AFC; not the best as I had believed! Mr Ramjattan himself told me that if the AFC had won the elections, there would have been ‘murderation’ among members for positions. But it would have also been ‘murderation’ to fill their pockets! Imagine all the political blackmail that is going on now with the intention to fill some of the AFC’s ‘fat cats’ pockets! Come on Ramjattan, make the ‘right turn’ or resign! You cannot allow your ‘boys’ to continue their corrupt tendencies! But then can you afford “to rock the boat”?
Is it wrong for me to speak out about the very things the AFC is preaching in public about? Should I keep my mouth shut, turn a blind eye and pretend that all is well within my party?
I believe in what the Great Mahatma preached- do not be afraid to speak out against corruption even if you are alone. History will judge and absolve me for speaking out against cronyism and corruption within my party. I will have to clean my house before I clean my neighbour’s. Let us remove the ‘beam’ from our own eyes then we can see to remove the ‘speck’ from our brother’s.

I take this as an admission of guilt. You are quite a dummy, first pay a man to bruck up the water supply pipes then complain that the water contaminated and then pretend to care about the poor. All for political purposes. Sabotage is a crime you know. 

FM

You are just a skonthole, if you were knowledgeable about Guyana, in the first place you would have know that the pipes were removed and reset by Road Constructions Crews who are working on the East Bank Corridor Road, but no you would just like to open your stink mouth and spew $hit  all over the place. I do not come on this forum to give an a$$whole you like knowledge. You should do your homework before you make silly allegations and repeat it so many times that you think that it is fact. How come your wife does not give you poison to drink........you are so fri&&in irriatable.

Your knowledge of Guyana is just like an envelope to mail without any address.
