Notes of a journeyman - What would Cheddie say?

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 23:08:00 +0000

Our external public debt increased 11% from June 08 to june 09.

Cheddie Jagan would have said that this "barefaced" government is "impoverishing" this country and our future generations! Children are indebted before they are born.

King Sugar

King Sugar - GuySuCo and the Nation Part I

Excerpt from Sasenarine Singh's letter to Kaieteur News: (Direct Quote)

Reality check No. 1:- 2010 will remain a tough year for GuySuCo.

Let us accept that the best brains in sugar such as Dr. Gopaul’s were integral in designing the TP and thus we must accept this plan has merit in its contribution to the industry. However, does the plan cater for the following which I encourage any journalist to ask Mr. Hanoman the next time he is interviewed?

1. Are there adequate planning systems in place to optimise sugar cane cultivation using selective mechanisation? Mechanisation must be intensified in this industry as more and more of the off-springs of the cane cutter either migrate to other types of work or migrate out of Guyana. How much of the cane is harvested mechanically today and what is the plan for the next 12 months and by when 50% of the cane will be reaped mechanically?

2. Is the mix of cropping and grinding optimally matched? Are there enough cane available in the estates (save and except Skeldon) at the right time to feed the sugar factories? After the Chinese have sorted the teething issues at Skeldon, there is still an overwhelming concern that there are inadequate cane in the ground to feed the new factory. Does the TP cater for a timeline by which this anomaly is sorted and what immediate actions are in train to realise this objective? The Government can take actions such as providing partial bank guarantee in order for the private cane-farmers to secure the required resources to accelerate development and planting of the land. Is this action actively being taken? How much of the newly developed land is now planted?

3. Is the production chain well synchronised? Operations on an estate involve soil tillage, bed preparation, planting, herbicides application, fertiliser application, harvesting, loading, transporting and milling. Does the planning process identify early kinks in the production chain and thus allow for measures to be taken to resolve the issue in a timely manner to ensure that the milling process is not adversely affected?

4. Are there adequate utilisations of their owner-managed machinery? Should this process drive increased levels of equipment leasing (tractors etc) rather than owning? Essentially GuySuCo must own some of its equipment but there is scope for greater leasing of equipment whereby cash resources will only be used when equipment are engaged in productive income earning activities.

5. Is there active engage the workers to get their buy-in of the plans of the industry? GAWU most certainly is not fully on board and quite justifiable so. GAWU firmly believes that the management has under-performed resulting in this state of affairs. However at this critical junction in the industry’s future GAWU has to “give a little”, but when one reads in the national press that an Engineer is costing the industry over $2 million a month, there are no incentives for GAWU to give anything. The industrial relations aspect must be rebuilt since it appears that the employees no longer trust the employer. The sugar union should be brought to the table, along with their skilled accountant (thank you Yog) to assess the cash flow projections for 2010 with full evidence of each figure. The union must be advised of the strategies to increase revenue and reduce cost and what action the management will commit to, if there are significant adverse variances.

6. Is there adequate accountability in the industry? The term of employment for Heads of Estate and other Top Management Officers must be changed to contractual employees with clear performance benchmarks inserted into their contracts. For example, the Skeldon Estate will meet a target of X by 2010 and if not, these are the consequences, if there is no clear justification. No one should be sacred in the industry any more; it should be run like a business if it is to survive.

I said almost a year ago that sugar is Guyana’s blood stream and the haemorrhaging of the industry has to be stopped as it is intrinsically linked to the nation’s future. The evidence reveals that GuySuCo continues to suffer from poor decision making, improperly targeted resources, a mismatch of skills, under-performance of the operating systems and adverse weather. Of all these issues, GuySuCo’s biggest failure is its inability to strike a balance between rewarding hard labour/innovation on the Estates and executives protecting their turf. Weather disruptions can rapidly worsen an already poor financial situation as a result of poor leadership (I am not blaming Mr. Hanoman here; this is more directed at Booker-Tate Management and the previous local management many of whom are still in the system). Unfortunately, the weather was part of the problem, but the weather was not the main problem. It management duh!

Management has to come clean with the workers and slash waste and extravagance at all levels. The culture of investing in world class agronomical practices at all time must be embraced as well as listening to the workers. The industry itself is a reservoir of innovative ideas, but few of these bottom-up ideas see the light of day. Workers are best placed to know what would work best in their local situation but they get neither the resources nor support for their ideas to better the industry.

I think a start was made with the TP but the realities on the ground to date demonstrate that all is still not well at GuySuCo. The onus is on the Board of Directors to find out why the productivity, profitability and prosperity of the industry is not improving.

The management Guru Peter Druker said “Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information”.

He further stated that “Executives owe it to the organisation and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.” I trust that members of the Board of Director at GuySuCo are students of Peter Druker.

Merry Christmas to all

What will the PPP be like in 3 years?

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:35:00 +0000

The following is pure hypothetical and assumes that Jagdeo is "persuaded" to go for a 3rd term:
1. People cannot call on a person who is unwilling. Assume(?) Jagdeo KNOWS and LEADS the call for his 3rd term.
2. Has carefully manipulated and silenced all potential opposition (both in and out of the PPP).

We have seen that anyone or any company who dare to ‘bad-talk’ Jagdeo, will suffer. For example Navin Chanderpal criticized the 3rd term thingy at Wugar-workers’ Providence Stadium. He was fired.

For the companies, “suddenly” GRA holds up their imports, GRA initiates audits, GRA investigates their VAT books. Then, GPL will 'discover' a dirty connection. Any legal matter languishing in the courts will be suddenly brought forward for hearing. NOW, we are NOT saying that Jagdeo does all of this, it MAY be just an act of God.

However, such companies are also ridiculed and criticized by the HOS.

For some individuals, eg. Geri Goo: at the initial independent thought, the HOS lashes out at him….. Suddenly Geri gets selected for ownership of prime properties. Soon, Geri is seen as his back-pocket. Geri now sits in every committee to guide the private sector into acquiescence and praiseful comments of the almighty.

Ministers and political wannnabees: they are carefully selected and placed in boards and committees and reminded that they are there by the Grace of the big one. Careful comments coupled with careful ridicule ensure that sooner than later they are followers. Those that follow and praise are allocated large budgets, like MOA. Those that prove to be a challenge will be given tasks to fail. They will be given a small budget, a large task and allocated the persons to work with - failure, ridicule, downsize, silence. And if this does not work, set up rumors and email about families etc. Silence. Dead.

So, the PPP is carefully taken care of.

Let’s turn to PPP internal

Congress is manipulated, the executive committee is ‘selected’. The current ExCo members are: Ali Baksh, Komal Chand, Navin Chanderpaul, Clinton Collymore, Bharrat Jaadeo, Roger Luncheon, Zulficar Mohamed, Haripersaud Nokta, Reepu Persaud, Robert Persaud, Ulric Ramanah, Ralph Ramkarran, Clement Rohee, Gail Teixeira, Donald Ramoutar.

Of the above list the only persons that can stand up to Jagdeo would be Komal Chand and MAYBE Navin Chanderpaul, but he’s jobless.

The aspirations of Donald Ramoutar will be shattered. The once mighty and well-liked Gail is reduced to an underling of Jagdeo. We theorize that under Jagdeo’s 3rd term, Gail will become the General Secretary to the party. In addition, Airfan and other Jagdeoites will become more entrenched within the PPP - and more powerful. Rohee will continue to float, Frank will be frustrated, Ralph is history, Moses will retire soon, Navin will shut up.

The wise old heads like Feroze will soon stop emerging from their homes, their minds stuck in the glorious dreams of yesteryear and their freedom of speech removed.
Komal Chand will eventually retire – and like Cheddi, Janet and a host of past greats – he will leave disillusioned and disheartened at what has become of the people he helped to train and grow.

So, for the next three years, we see the content of the exco changing as well as the GS of the party.

To be continued……………..

.....announces the Discovery of a new Element

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:44:00 +0000

Our Laboratory has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 - 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each re-organization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Jagdeo’s intent on Sugar becomes crystallized

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:48:00 +0000

The situation at Guysuco gets worse with each passing day. Today the Corporation announced that it may not be able to pay wages this week.

The timing is excellent since a decision is expected from the tribunal in the next week. So this forces their hand.

We wish to opine that the Jagdeo Government is purposely cheating the sugar workers. This industry will close down because of the pitiable economics of the economist Jagdeo:

The PPP Government took 40 MILLION USD in land from the company WITHOUT PAYING A CENT. Those lands were supposed to be sold to raise funds for the company’s new factory.

This jagdeo government seized the lands – the company then had to take bread from the workers’ mouths to fund the new factory and now they can’t find money to pay the wages. Yet the CEO earns double-digit millions per month!

This is the "working class" President that heads Caricom, that tours the world at the sugar workers expense to sell carbon credits. At home they cannot honor their debts, 1000 children will starve next week for a meal and 20,000 workers will develop stress, heart and hypertension problems as they consider their next helpless move.

Yes, a third term! To dig the graves!

Come on economist, pay back the workers the 40 million USD that was stolen from them!

Digicel's copyristmas

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:25:00 +0000

Christmas in the air. Digicel telecoms giant has announced it disappointing, puny copyristmas promotion.

Are we mistaken or is the Digicel christmas program an replica of last year's GT&T promotion..... Lets see:
- They have an on-screen counter.... same as GT&T had last year? Same counters, same approach, same thing.... just packaged a littel different. Wondeerful copying Digicel! This is disappointing and disgusting! AND the most embarassing thing is that when they (Live on TV) call THEIR OWN SUBSCRIBERS the call goes to voice mail IMMEDIATELY. That is the experience everyday - 50% of the calls I place goes to voice mail!

On top of it all, the entire cash giveaways sounds just like..... GT&T's cash booth promotion last year!!!

Come on digicel, get better. your copyristmas sucks!
Until I see better, I am going blue!

Land share property sale

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:34:00 +0000

Information at hand is that the original ‘winner’ of the Duke Street property bid WAS a (PPP) boy from Essequibo who is a dealer in gold and diamonds. His was the highest bid. But we have to assume that the gold was not spreading plus, the bid went in vertically, not horizontally, therefore the property goes to Geri.

On another related matter, the other Promised Land, that huge block at East Coast has been handed to the Edy-do-it-yourself-Buyer.

Jagdeo’s triPPPs part trois

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:38:00 +0000

Jagdeo’s triPPPs part trois

(first part was here)

Jagdeo’s trippps are well known – well not really. The trippps are so frequent that no one nowadays really know when he is in country or not. It would be interesting to see the countries that are most frequented by Jagdeo.

It also seems like other ministers can only go on trippps when Jageo is himself on another trippp.

We are not against the President’s trippps. However, we make these observations:
1) The trippps (ab)use our money. Therefore he is accountable to us for the trips. Where he goes, for what purposes and total expense per trip must be disclosed fully for each trip.
2) We the taxpayers fund these trips fully! We need to know the names of those who accompany Jagdeo on these trippps?
3) What is the total number of days that jagdeo has traveled and spent outside of Guyana?
4) Finally, let us compare the answer of the above question on how many days he has spent travelling outside of Guyana to how many days he has spent walking the streets or visiting the farmers or visiting the troubled people of Guyana – whose money he uses for his touring?

I guess that last question may be deemed silly since it is not election time - or no massacre took place, so no need to "walk-about" in Guyana to see its people and to be their at-home president?

Corruption - Those who doubt

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:16:00 +0000

We wish to theorize that:

There is absolutely no corruption in Guyana.

Our beloved President does not own any dual properties. He does not lie and is not interested in a 3rd term (please ignore the billboards and ads). He is the representation of all that is Guyana. The embellished words of ethics and honesty could never be better uttered by anyone as good as he does it.

Fact 1: (at least sounds good on paper): Our president is the honest, ethical and dedicated person - on which strength he will win the popular vote to run Guyana for the next term.

Fact 2: Our dear president literally run (and fly) everything in Guyana. He is the President, part-time minister of information, part-time minister of finance, part-time minister of tourism, part-time minister of telecommunications, part-time chief name-caller, part-time Frequency minister, part-time sleazeball-watching, part-time gossip-spreader and most-time tourist.

Conclusion:
If this proves that the president is ethical and honest and everything else.
If he also hold all the portfolio of jobs as described above.
THEREFORE he does everything - no one else does anything.

THEREFORE there is no corruption in Guyana.

Property sales, Guyana for sale – to Geri

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:02:00 +0000

Property sales, Guyana for sale – to Geri

Geri Govi is the new ViOdit.

In the past, Viodit “purchased” land in all parts of Guyana making him one of the major land owners in Guyana. Today the PPP is trying its best to take away his land. For example, ViOdit “owned” the land aback of the Blairmont cultivation.

The PPPites – mainly of the jags, want to ensure that he is stripped of that land. So they take it away….. then they got another sucker to buy equipment by offering him the contract to develop the land for GuySuCo…..now that ‘development’ is abandoned.

Objective met…. Land taken away from ViOdit, claimed by GuySuCo….GuySuCo takes bread out of the workers mouth to initiate this contract to develop the land, then abandons it…..

Let’s turn to Geri. He has been like a biblical chief. He has been promised land! Blackoutman repairs the lodge then sells to geri…now geri wants the land next door and the sale is ‘set up’. He cant win the tender so is given the contract based on 'plans'. Congrats geri.

One day this government will change. The cycle will repeat. Then, Geri’s land will be taken away.

Air-fan's bauble

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:26:00 +0000

Airman's been going around mouthing off about people who sell and buy the houselots that he allocated. He mouthed about how it's all illegal and the JPs are involved etc etc.

Our question:
Doesn't airman own another house in Turkeyen? How did he buy this that was allocated to GuySuCo workers... yeh yeh yeh, we know. That one was ok to buy because the owner sold. How much did you buy it for?

Maybe we are wrong (that is why we ask). Does airman own multiple properties?

Shame on Guyana Times - SHAME on Dr Ramroop

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:17:00 +0000

Thus far we have not commented on Guyana Times. We all know the fantastic handouts that they got from the President.

While they did get all the help from the GoG, they have, in our view kept up a clean front in terms of reporting and bias - although (of course) they do bias heavily toward some ministers (Bert, Fan, etc).

However, following yesterday's (November 11) publication of a ghost writer's letter, we say SHAME ON YOU to Dr. Ramroop and the entire Times' staff.

Our position is that if you hate Freddie then hate away - but stay off from people's family. Guyana Times hit below the belt (to Jadgo's sleezeball) - they insulted Freddie's wife. No way Mr. Ramroop, that is GUTTER journalism. One question though - shouldn't we fire ThaSilva for keeping incompetent people in his employment?

Stereo-typing and homophobia - by the President?

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:10:00 +0000

Stereo-typing and homophobia by the President
Nov 6, 2009: Georgetown, Guyana

Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo (part time president, part-time minister of information, part-time minister of finance, part-time minister of tourism, part-time minister of telecommunications, part-time chief name-caller, part-time Frequency minister, part-time sleazeball-watching, part-time gossip-spreader and most-time tourist), made public his public distaste for male-to-male affection.

The president basically said that the Kaieteur News should not employ anyone that was a “man-kisser” (man-kisser - the actual words used by the president).

Is this homophobia? – maybe not. The president will say he was misunderstood.

So we ask: what is wrong with being a man-kisser? We kiss our dad, brothers, sons….. maybe we are misunderstanding him again.

BUT then, we CANNOT understand him – he holds so much positions including
- marriage-faker (not fakir)- pronounces on marriage and domestic abuse,
- ballwatcher (HE said sleezeball, not us)….
- gerrymanddering - that is leading gerry all over the place (If the presi stops, gerry bumps into him).
- corruptishon - leading a team of corrupt people (see sacred cows article below)
- ghosthider - hiding ghosts like Daly yet saying that KN has ghostwriters.

We will continue to analyse with awe the multiple disciplines, the multitasking and the multifaceted work being done by this multi-personality.

Colorado reduces Minimum wage

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:01:00 +0000

Just like in Guyana, Colorado state has announced the reduction in minimum wage rate. In Guyana the minimum wage rate is always LOWER than inflation. Thus the real raise paid to workers has been of negative value. Cash wise, the GoG is very rich. The commercial banks are too liquid. There is so much cash around and nothing to do with it.
Even with the above, we continue to give wage increases that is below the inflation rates.

For the first time, Colorado state is actually reducing the minimum wage in that state by approximately G$6.00 (3USc).

Colorado minimum wage to drop as living costs fall
By KRISTEN WYATT, Associated Press Writer Kristen Wyatt, Associated Press Writer – Tue Oct 13, 1:26 pm ET

DENVER – Colorado will become the first state to reduce its minimum wage because of a falling cost of living.

The state Department of Labor and Employment ordered the wage down to $7.24 from $7.28. That's lower than the federal minimum wage of $7.25, so most minimum wage workers would lose only 3 cents an hour.

Colorado is one of 10 states where the minimum wage is tied to inflation. The indexing is thought to protect low-wage workers from having flat wages as the cost of living goes up.

But because Colorado's provision allows wage declines, the minimum wage will drop because of a falling consumer price index. It will be the first decrease in any state since the federal minimum wage law was passed in 1938.

"We can't see that there would be any other option" except lowering the wage, department spokesman Bill Thoennes said Tuesday. He said there will still be a public hearing on the question in early November, though the drop appears inevitable. The lower wage will take effect Jan. 1.

Advocacy groups for the poor have been warning of the wage drop since August, when the consumer price index for the Denver area was released. The index fell 0.6 percent between the middle of 2008 and the middle of 2009, mostly as a result of falling fuel prices.

Other states with adjustable minimum wages have seen their consumer price indexes fall, such as Ohio. But Colorado is one of the few states where the law is interpreted to mean the wage can fall. Other states are planning to keep wages flat.

In Florida, deflation would reduce the minimum wage to $7.21, but the state's minimum wage already matches the federal wage, so Florida workers' paychecks won't change.

Other states with minimum wages that rise with inflation are Arizona, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.

Colorado voters approved an adjustable minimum wage in 2006. Supporters of that amendment said they did not intend for wages to fall, but the provision allowing it to fall was crucial to its passage. They have pointed out employers of the estimated 50,000 to 70,000 Coloradans making minimum wage are free to leave wages flat.

Ben Hanna, Colorado organizer for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, said the difference is small but significant for poor workers.

"I can't imagine many employers would see this as an opportunity to lower wages," Hanna said in August.

Creep Reep, NCN and Digicel part III

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:57:00 +0000

In previous articles we exposed the relationship between CREEP Reep and Digicel and NCN (See here and here). As each day dawns, Guyanese public is seeing the true (red) colors of the red cell company.

We have seen the Digicel question of the day, biased about the Government.... on November 4, 2009, the digicel's PPP question of the day was "who is the (PPPs) Agriculture Minister."

Each day there is a Digicel question of the day aired on Creep-Reep's-cousin's-NCN. The types of question of course shows the strong bond between the red company and the red government.

NFMU discovers false-teeth

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:55:00 +0000

We know everything in this poor country has a political spin. The Minister of Telecoms who we believe is also the president of the country showed how politicized the frequency management unit (NFMU)is.

Our reaction on reading the news was, "NFMU has teeth! Wow!" Alas, sad realization set in as we realize that it is only political teeth.

The stark reality is seen in the following analysis:

1. We have all heard the telephone company complain bitterly about illegal bypass. (Sure the monopoly of GT&T should be broken! and Now - not election year!).

2. We read that the telephone company complain about the bypass business which is, according to sources is about 60million dollars per month. (Dat's big monnnneeeeyyyy).

3. Bypass, according to research can only take place when the bypasser has transmitting equipment at his premises.

So why cant the NFMU find these guys that owns these transmitting equipment? is it 1) Because of the big money involved?
2) Because they are aligned to the PPP/ministers/parliamentarian?

Yet it can go after Benchie because he played MCoy’s tape? False teeth! Rotten false teeth.

There are no sacred cows.
Recently the press has carried many of the Bennn Minister’s mouthings. The most recent repetitive mouthing from him has been “there will be no sacred cows”.
We want to ask the following questions:
1) Mr. Bennn, aren’t YOU a sacred cow? When last did you attend a meeting called by your boss (the PM). You don’t cooperate with your boss. You want his position.

2) Let us present the following SAMPLE picture from our Guyana cowlbum. Can anyone find a sacred cow in the lot? What about those that didn’t make it for the camera?

Braston, Liquibub and security

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:21:00 +0000

Braston, Liquibub and security

Guyana times (Oct 25) carried a story on Brasington, the owner of a foreign IT company (blackoutman’s brother).

We are wondering if there is any link of that company and happenings in Guyana. We will provide an analytical base:

1/ The local brasnton is brother to the foreign one that does systems integration and technology consultancy.
2/ The local brasnton is best friend to the Young One that had the contract to do the wireless security for the office of the president and other works for the GoG.
3/ The wireless systems were installed using the combination of local and foreign ‘expertise’.

Any link?

Note that the local Brasnton & Young Co are the primary advisers to Jadgeo on IT matters.

The 20-million dollar question: After the sale of GT&T’s shares, who will “win” the contract to bring in US$20million worth of computers to Guyana?

Any answer?

Norman Browne's letter

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:06:00 +0000

Posted in Kaieteur Nov 2:

Dear Editor,

It is only a beast that would look into the eyes of a terrified child and calculatingly inflict such an horrendous injury that shocks an entire nation. I cannot find words to describe the emotions that ran through me as I looked at the photo on the front page of Kaieteur News. This is torture of the worst kind.

If anger was part of the emotions overtaking me at that moment. It was because atrocities of this kind are usually committed because the perpetrators of the law fully well know that they can get away with it.

Because the leader of the Main Opposition political party in Guyana has become a toothless, paper waving, white collar, upper class type that has no intention of genuinely representing the Guyanese suffering masses.

He must be made to resign immediately. These things are only happening because Robert Corbin sits in the seat of betrayal. He is incompetent; he is motionless because his leadership has long been compromised.

We wish to add: if the payee is helpless, yes let us curse him, what about the payer? GoG has boasted in the past that it was the paymaster for Corbin. What a payoff. What a waste!.

Election 2011/12 - PNC and AFC concedes

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:03:00 +0000

In 2009, almost 2 years BEFORE the next elections, the PNC and AFC have conceded victory to the PPP.

Already the PNC and the AFC have spoken out against the Jagdeo’ 3rd term. They have both publicly stated their opposition to the Jagdeo's 3rd term.

While we are against the continuing of Jagdeo in Power, why should the PNC and AFC both object to the 3rd term? That happenstance is a consideration only if the PPP wins. Are they therefore conceding to a PPP victory and are now squabbling on the PPP’s yielding to Jagdeo’s machinations for his 3rd term?

Finally, if they both accept defeat for the oncoming elections, why have an election at all? Why the expense? Will it be just to decide on how the opposition bench is split between the PNC and AFC?

Is there any power to stop the PPP? Would it take a divine intervention as it did Burnham?

CREEP Reep and NCN

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:43:00 +0000

As mentioned in previous posts, Creep reep daman has found a nice way to use telecommunications money to fund the campaign for THE 3rd term.

The PPP needs to ask Daman Persaud how much money his 'sabha' has contracted for - with a telecommunications company. Is the telecoms industry a part of this campaign? Have they no respect for the rule of law? Is it both Digicel and GT&T or one or the other. We need to know.

On top of this all, we understand that the Chairman of NCN is a relative to Daman Persaud (in law). It is alledged that the 'Sabha' gets all its programs done for free on NCN. We would like to know how much money Sabha is paying NCN for ads for the motorcade and how much they are paying for regular hindu programming?

6 Million dollars - DIGICEL contribution to CREEP

noreply@blogger.com (Positive?) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:12:00 +0000

At the Digicel sponsored Diwali motorcade, the leader of Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha and PPP central committee member made the statement that Jagdeo should run a third term.

Our view is that this is a sad reflection of an old man that is stuck in the past and aiming to re-live his past into the future. We note that no other than his General Secretary (Donald Ramoutar) referred to the third term as 'mischievious' - yet Daman Persaud - a cc member - is opposing him. Obviously Daman Persaud is one of the 'mischievous' characters that are now finding funds for the CREEPs

No word from a PPP that will be fragmenting before the our eyes as people will jockey for positions...

The bottom line is:
1) Repu Daman Persaud sold out the Hindus to Digicel: a 3 yrs' contract for 6 million dollars in their pockets.
2) For that, Digicel gets involved in Hindu Community. Only red puja flags from now.
3) Digicel is now involved with the CREEPs (committee for re-election of the president).
3) Will Digicel now funnel - as they did this time - funding for Jagdeo's third term? Funding for election campaign through the religious organizations?

Surujbally & the Return of the CREEPs

On Aug 8, 2009 the Guyanese head blamed the Guyana Elections' commission for the delay in local Government Elections. GoG blamed Surujbally of, among other things, wasting money. However, Surujbally placed the blame squarely back on the lap of the Government.

It is interesting to note that Surujbally's response was made at a time when there is surmised to be a number of theoretical outcomes of the calls for a third term for Jagdeo.

About a month after Surujbally opens his mouth, his wife who was Marketing Director got fired from GuySuCo. The story behind the firing is itself interesting as the new CEO of GuySuCo seemed to be acting on instructions and locked the goodly lady out from a management meeting - on the excuse that she was late for the meeting. In fact our source says that she followed the CEO to the room as she normally does, being the only female in the meeting. Anyhow, one can only conclude that Nisa Surujbally was fired for a greater sinister reason which we theorize below.

Elections and Third Term
The persons who win the largest contracts from GoG are behind the committee for the re-election of President Jagdeo (CREEP reborn under ppp). Unlike what he says, Jagdeo is interested in 3rd term but they all realize that they cannot amend the constitution to create that possibility. So what can be done?

Create the ripples so that people know that the 3rd term is in the air. Feed the newspapers so that the hue and cry is big (and like everything else) eventually runs out of steam.

Meanwhile, frustrate the elections commission so that local Govt elections does NOT happen. For his stupidity, they fire Surujbally's wife - this is the start of the personality interference. In another few months, Surujbally will have had to take time off to let his wife settle down (maybe in Trinidad again). He will then either wisely take the blame for the delay in local gov elections or will find himself in such a crises that for health reasons he has to resign.

All the above give CREEPs more time - the populace will have by then gotten used to the idea of Jagdeo.

Meanwhile no one within the Party could dare step forward - for the sake of "party unity" - and Frank is silenced by the attacks on his wife, Donald is silenced for party unity sake, Robert is silenced for fear of losing future ministerial portfolio, etc, etc.....

After all the above, GECOM in crisis, PPP in crisis, PNC still a no-go and AFC still 'building' capacity.

AND, PNC is duped into insisting that local Gov’t elections MUST be held BEFORE national elections.

We are then going to have Local Gov’t Elections.... and as part of this election will be a national referendum. The people will vote for the return of the maximum leader.

We're back
