Here is the debate: http://guyanafriends.com/eve/f...604972/m/71220426051


Your attempt to deflect from the theme of this thread will not work Gerhard. Here we have Amerindians speaking confidently of Government programmes which have impacted their lives. And this runs contrary to the AFC's claims of discontent etc among Amerindians.

It is not The Judge that is saying it but i am giving the members of this board as well as persons far from Guyana the opportunity to see for themselves.........unlike you who mostly report hear-say and your opinion as facts

No sir. What I have said is not based on opinion.

It is a simple conclusion based on the fact that a famous controversial international artiste, namely Vybz Kartel, was invited to perform in Guyana knowing to the Gov't, and when he did not show up, his music was banned from the Gov't radio station. Prior to his anticipated coming, his music was played by the very Gov't radio station.

You have not disproved these facts in any way, shape or form. But you did say I had a dick in my mouth. However, unlike you, I do not harbour such fantasies.

If you persist with this kind of action which anyone can see is deliberate from now on i will post completely irrelevant stuff in every post you create until i am banned. Where is your civility and respect for the forum rules?

Or are you exempted from these rules?

Region 9 residents on Friday last, completed a five-day training session by technicians from the Hinterland Electrification Unit of the Office of the Prime Minister dealing with installation and maintenance of the 65-Watt solar systems which will be distributed as soon as training for all stakeholders concludes.

Technicians from the Unit will be dispatched to Regions 7, 8 and 10 from September 5, to conduct similar training sessions with residents of other Amerindian villages and clusters.

Government approved the procurement of approximately 11,000 systems, which will be distributed to indigenous communities across the country.

Days one and two of the training saw participants being taught the theory as it pertains to the basics in electricity and the installation of points, whilst during days three to five they were trained in the practical aspects.



The initiative to conduct training sessions with residents of hinterland communities, aims at empowering representatives from Amerindian villages and clusters to spearhead the installation of the solar home systems, which includes installing the panel itself on the outer part of the building and switches and bulbs internally.

The solar home system which provides each home with power for lighting small household appliances and to generate income, is part of government’s initiative to improve the standard of living and livelihood of those residing in Amerindian villages and clusters across the country.

Towards this end, government has significantly advanced the distribution of solar panels under the Hinterland Electrification Programme to ensure that hinterland communities benefit from electricity.

The Ministry of Amerindian Affairs has distributed 574 solar panels to 16 Amerindian communities in Regions One, Two and Nine under the Unserved Areas Electrification Programme, which saw 1,750 hinterland homes benefiting from electricity.

This project plays a critical role in achieving the Millennium Development Goal of ensuring environmental sustainability in Guyana because it will rectify the long-pervading inequity by providing access to clean and renewable energy throughout hinterland communities, thereby contributing significantly to Guyana’s overall Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).In so doing, the savings from the accelerating cost of imported fuel and resultant reduction in energy costs will play an important role in the strategy to secure Guyana’s economic development.

Your good friend albert, does exactly that. And we all have to live with it on GNI. Now back to our little discussion:

Again you cannot prove that the government knew of the promoter's intention to bring Vybz Kartel nor were aware of his colourful history this is just your opinion.
So for you to base your pronouncement that NCN's banning of his music one month after he did not show up at a concert organized by private individuals that only received patronage from the state which is extended to every other promoter on his no-show is dishonest
Judge, again you are taking people for fools. The advertisements for the Jamzone event, listing Vbyz Kartel as one of the performers, were aired on the Gov't radio and TV stations. A fact that Mr Goolsarran ought to have been aware of. If not, then the implication is that he was asleep at the wheel, for a long time to boot.

In any event, whoever you are Judge, you obviously know the Gov't well. Clearly, you are very verse in who Vybz Kartel is and in the local dancehall culture, as pointed out in this very thread (http://guyanafriends.com/eve/f...604972/m/71220426051). Are you saying Judge, that you were unaware that Vybz Kartel was being invited to Guyana, given you are so in touch with the local dancehall scene?

The establishment of a bank of computers in each Amerindian village is still on the cards but the option of distributing devices to individual households in the hinterland will be tested, according to President Bharrat Jagdeo.

The Government is expecting 11,000 solar panels within the next month that are sized at 65 watts and with computers operating at 28 watts may be possible to pilot the new plan which President Jagdeo announced.

“We still have to test whether the computer running on 28 watts is a solid computerâ€Ķ eventually we may very well be able to get every home a computer there too,” President Jagdeo told members of the media at a press conference today.

He had assured the Amerindians that efforts will be made to equip each of the computer banks with Internet access, so that “all the kids in those communities and everyone else can also learn those computers.”

At the launch of Amerindian Heritage Month 2011, President Jagdeo had noted that “we may be able to depart from our strategy, which is slightly different on the coastâ€Ķ where we were doing banks of computers in each village, to actually give each home a computer too because they will have a means of powering it,” President Jagdeo said.

At the last National Toshao Council meeting in July, Amerindian leaders were assured that the solar panel project that will bring electricity to every household in their villages will move ahead as planned despite the impasse in the disbursement of the forest funds earned from Norway. The project will be implemented at a cost of US$3M.

Cabinet – the council of ministers chaired by the President – had approved the procurement of up to 11,000 65W Solar Home Systems under the Hinterland Electrification Programme.
Recently the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs distributed 574 solar panels to 16 Amerindian communities in Regions One, Two and Nine.

The Amerindian Affairs Ministry was tasked over the last year with distributing 1,000 (15-watt) solar panels to 23 communities and these 16 areas are the first beneficiaries.

President Jagdeo has been touting the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector as one with immense potential to generate greater disposable income and lead to the creation of thousands of jobs.

In April of 2011 laptops were included in the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs’ assistance package to Toshaos in over 20 Amerindian communities in the Rupununi, Region Nine while in July of that year, eight hinterland scholarship students housed in the Hinterland Students Dormitory at Liliendaal, received laptops from the OLPF Secretariat as part of a school based pilot project.

The beneficiaries were given the computers with the understanding that they will train other members of their household and their respective communities during the August vacation.
The Hinterland Students Dormitory is itself internet ready as it was outfitted with a computer room with free internet access, compliments of GT&T.
