    Affrontements entre policiers et bandits à Carrefour

    Début de l’affrontement entre policiers et bandits à Carrefour. Ce sont les bandits de Base 53 du quartier de Bizoton qui ont lancé les hostilités à la mi journée.
    Ils ont assassiné un policier et emporté son cadavre.

    En réaction les policiers du commissariat Oméga et de la Marine Haïtienne ont attaqué les bandits de ce gang situé en face de la Marine Haïtienne. Au moins 3 bandits ont été tués.
    Les informations font état également de deux riverains tués.

    Les accrochages ont provoqué une panique notamment dans les quartiers de Bizoton et de Diquini. Ces affrontements sont le signe de dissensions entre les policiers et les bandits. Nombre de gangs des quartiers sont affiliés au chef de gang Kris la.

    Au cours des dernières semaines de nombreux policiers avaient manifesté le désir de mettre un teme à toute cohabitation avec le gang de Ti Bois.

    À 48 heures du début de la saison cyclonique les haïtiens sont appelés à la vigilance. Des averses ont déjà causé des inondations dans plusieurs régions.

    Dans le Nord Ouest, à Port de Paix, plusieurs quartiers ont été inondées.

    Dans la région métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince les averses ont provoqué des inondations à Cité Soleil notamment.
    Les canalisations étant bouchées les averses sur Pétion ville et Delmas provoquent des inondations dans le plus vaste bidonville.

    La situation ne devrait pas s’améliorer. L’Unité Hydrométeorologique (UHM) indique que 5 ondes tropicales ont été recensées dans la région caraïbe. Des creux en altitude doivent provoquer des averses au cours des prochains jours.

    À cause d’un environnement vulnérable les autorités redoutent des inondations et glissements de terrain.
    Si les averses sont redoutées en raison de la dégradation des bassins versants, elles étaient attendues des cultivateurs.
    Après une longue période de sécheresse les agriculteurs avaient exprimé un certain enthousiasme avec les averses de printemps.

  • Cordes et miséricorde, le cri de FranckÉtienne

    Cordes et miséricorde, le cri de FranckÉtienne

    A 87 ans et en dépit du Covid, Franck Étienne, icône de la culture haïtienne, est toujours alerte. Dans son dernier ouvrage, cordes et miséricorde, il exprime sa gratitude envers Dieu. Pour lui Dieu est la divine intelligence de l’énergie universelle, laquelle est parfaite mais inaccessible et imprévisible.
    Franck Étienne ne se considère pas comme un religieux. Il n’est pas chrétien mais plutôt christique afin de prendre ses distances vis à vis de ceux qui ont causé beaucoup de torts à l’humanité.

    Les cordes sont les crimes, les violences et les vices tandis que la miséricorde est le partage et la générosité.

    Frank Étienne a souffert, pas uniquement du covid, mais aussi des difficultés de ses enfants et de la disette liée à la crise de la culture. Il rend publiquement hommage à ses bienfaiteurs qu’il qualifie d’anges.

    Dans son 60 ème ouvrage, Frank Étienne lève le voile sur sa vie et ses cinquantes ans de carrière.
    Une vie d’artiste proliphique. Il a réalisé environ 6 000 toiles.

    Une vie de militant politique également sous la dictature des Duvalier.
    C’est un écrivain, un artiste atypique. Sa singularité lui avait valu le qualificatif de fou.

    Après deux ans de silence forcée, Franck Étienne revient au devant de la scène boosté par une formidable énergie.

  • Le Parquet devra lancer des poursuites contre lui-même

    Le Parquet devra lancer des poursuites contre lui-même

    Le nouveau commissaire du gouvernement près le tribunal de Première instance de Port-au-Prince, M. Elder Guillaume, se retrouve dans une posture inhabituelle. Lors de la cérémonie d’installation, le chef de la poursuite a dû promettre qu’il lancera une investigation pour faire la lumière sur les vols recurents de corps du délit. C’est un énième cambriolage qui a fini par emporté l’ex chef du Parquet déjà décrié.

    Le directeur des affaires judiciaires avait publiquement précisé que le ministère est dans l’attente d’explications claires.
    Le chef du Parquet pourrait lancer des poursuites contre ses substituts.

    Des organisations de défense des droits humains dénoncent un commerce de mandat d’amener.
    Ces défenseurs des droits de l’homme plaident pour un processus de certification des substituts.

    L’ex commissaire Jacques Lafontant n’avait pas été certifié par le CSPJ.

    Le commissaire Guillaume devra faire oeuvre qui vaille et il est attendu au tournant.
    Tenant compte de l’ampleur de la corruption nombre d’acteurs estiment que le chef de la poursuite devra laver les linges sales publiquement afin de donner les gages d’un changement de cap.

  • Vers la célébration du Bicentenaire de la Cour Supérieure des Comptes et du Contentieux Administratif

    Vers la célébration du Bicentenaire de la Cour Supérieure des Comptes et du Contentieux Administratif

    La Cour Supérieure des Comptes et du Contentieux Administratif (CSCCA) a lancé, lundi, une série d’activités pour commémorer ses 200 ans de création. Des conférences-débats à but pédagogique sur des thèmes spécifiques à l’histoire de l’institution et à ses attributions seront organisées, a révélé le vice-président du conseil de la Cour, Pierre Volmar Demesyeux. L’occasion pour le Tribunal administratif de faire un rebranding en lançant un concours de logo.

    Le bicentenaire de la Cour Supérieure des Comptes et du Contentieux Administratif sera célébré le 27 juin prochain. Malgré les interruptions au fil de l’histoire dues aux différents régimes politiques, les conseillers de la Cour souhaitent remonter à l’origine de cette institution. Selon Pierre Volmar Demesyeux, vice-président de la CSCCA et président de la commission commémorative, il convient de se référer à la loi de 1823 qui a créé la Chambre des Comptes, ancêtre de l’actuelle CSCCA. Cette chambre, mise en place par le président Jean-Pierre Boyer, avait pour mission de vérifier les recettes et les opérations financières de l’État.

    D’après le conseiller Demesyeux, la Cour des Comptes a parfois survécu à des troubles politiques. Elle a été mise en veilleuse à plusieurs reprises, notamment pendant la période des Duvalier, pour des raisons obscures. Le vice-président considère que ces événements constituent une raison supplémentaire de célébrer le bicentenaire de manière grandiose. Ainsi, diverses activités seront organisées sur une période d’environ trois semaines en préparation de la journée du 27 juin. Des conférences-débats, des journées portes ouvertes et un concours sont prévus par les responsables de la CSCCA. Les conférences-débats permettront aux participants de mieux connaître l’histoire et le rôle de la Cour des Comptes dans l’Administration Publique. Différents thèmes seront abordés, tels que « l’histoire du Contentieux Administratif à la CSCCA » et « la reddition de comptes, une revendication de justice ». En plus des conférences-débats, la Cour entreprendra une refonte de son image en réalisant un rebranding. Certains aspects de la communication visuelle de l’institution seront revisités à cette occasion. Un concours a été lancé pour que des graphistes présentent des logos, qui seront ensuite évalués par un jury. Le meilleur logo sera sélectionné et attribué le 27 juin 2023, jour de la commémoration du bicentenaire.
    Pour assurer le succès des activités, de nombreuses décisions ont été prises par les conseillers de la Cour. Bien qu’étant une entité autonome de l’État, la Cour a invité le gouvernement actuel à participer à la célébration afin de lui donner une dimension solennelle. Pierre Volmar Demesyeux précise qu’une commission interministérielle a été mise en place, comprenant notamment le Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication (MCC), le Ministère de l’Économie et des Finances (MEF), ainsi qu’une équipe de la Primature représentée par la commission nationale des marchés publics (CNMP). Des institutions telles que l’Unité de Lutte Contre la Corruption (ULCC) et l’Inspection Générale des Finances participeront également à l’événement. Le thème central choisi pour commémorer les 200 ans de la Cour Supérieure des Comptes et du Contentieux Administratif est « La justice administrative et la reddition de comptes ». Au cours des semaines précédant le 27 juin 2023, des journées portes ouvertes seront organisées dans le but d’informer le grand public sur les missions de la CSCCA.

  • This Caribbean Island Consistently Ranks In Top 10 Destinations For American Travelers

    This Caribbean Island Consistently Ranks In Top 10 Destinations For American Travelers

    Americans, who often look to escape cold weather, consistently name Jamaica as one of the places in the world that they would most like to visit, citing the island’s warm sea waters, sunny beaches, and welcoming hospitality. Zane Kirby, the head of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), the largest organization of its kind, believes this means that the latest entry by Sandals Resorts International (SRI) into the Jamaican market with its Sandals Dunn’s River venue represents a good decision.

    Importance of US Consumer Preferences

    While the US has just four percent of the world’s population, it represents 25 percent of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and consumption. These figures have been unchanged over the past four decades, Kirby said. Having an understanding of consumer preference and behavior is important, he noted, which is why ASTA polls consumers to ensure its travel advisors know of any changes in travel tastes. It is good to know that Jamaica is still among the top ten aspirational places in the world for Americans to visit, he added.

    SRI Dunn’s River Opening

    Kirby came to Jamaica for the ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the symbolic opening of the SRI’s newest resort near Ocho Rios, St. Ann. While acknowledging that Sandals Dunn’s River is an “extraordinary” addition to the brand, Kirby also honored SRI’s late founder, Gordon “Butch” Stewart, for his wise repurchase of the venue. Sandals had previously managed the property, and its acquisition was the last accomplished by Stewart before he died in 2021.

    A Dream Brought To Life

    Kirby addressed Adam Stewart, the new Sandals executive chair, saying that he had brought his father’s dream to life. Kirby added that he wished the elder Stewart was there to see the opening in person, but believed he was there in spirit and was proud of the event. Kirby and his wife had arrived a few days before the opening ceremony and saw many of the 1,500 people who were working hard to get Sandals Dunn’s River ready. He noted the enthusiasm he witnessed among the staff, as well as the pride they took in the fact that the resort was again under Jamaican ownership.

    Pride In His Father’s Vision

    Adam Stewart recognized many of those who had been instrumental in bringing the Dunn’s River project to fruition and stated that SRI, which has properties on 11 islands in the Caribbean region, operated with a team of “18,000 CARICOM nationals,” adding, “We are Caribbean to the bone.” Stewart also spoke of his father’s vision for Sandals some 42 years ago and praised him for having the foresight to buy Sandals Dunn’s River.

    Jamaican Officials Attend Opening

    Among the Jamaican officials attending the Sandals Dunn’s River opening were Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett, who said the opening of the 260-room hotel is well timed to take advantage of what is expected to be a strong summer tourism season, and Opposition Leader Mark Golding, who committed himself and a future government to support the expansion of SRI throughout Jamaica and the Caribbean.

  • Local Gov’t Elections: Most boundary changes reflect pre-2018 demarcations

    Local Gov’t Elections: Most boundary changes reflect pre-2018 demarcations

    Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George will Wednesday deliver a crucial ruling which, on the one hand, can give the go ahead for Local Government Elections to proceed on June 12, or on the other hand, further stall the long overdue elections.

    She will be deciding on the legality of a number of boundary changes, that in effect, allows for the addition of over a dozen constituencies and more councillors which will provide for greater representation and better management of communities.

    The main political opposition – A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) – through its Chief Scrutineer, Carol Joseph, had moved to the High Court challenging the boundary changes that were done by the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Nigel Dharamlall and later ratified by the Guyana Elections Commission as is prescribed by law.

    Joseph, along with GECOM Commissioner, Vincent Alexander who filed an affidavit in support of her application, claimed the changes would give the governing People’s Progressive Party Civic an unfair advantage at the polls.

    But several prominent politicians have questioned how could this be when several new boundaries were created by the former APNU+AFC administration during the 2018 Local Government Elections.

    Noting previously that the 2023 changes would allow for a more democratic local governance, Dharamlall said his changes were to reverse the 2018 changes to what was obtained in 2016.

    The same boundaries used in the 2016 elections were the boundaries in place since the 1990s and only changed in 2018 by the APNU+AFC.

    So why an objection to what is largely a reversal? The Court decides on Wednesday.

    During the 2018 LGEs, the APNU+AFC coalition created new NDCs as well as collapsed and merged some NDCs which the PPP/C had protested at the time was for political reasons.

    Fourteen areas were affected in 2018.

    No boundaries were reduced in 2023 but in some areas, the boundaries were extended.

    In Region One (Barima-Waini), the boundaries of the Mabaruma township were expanded to include the village of Wauna.

    In the Pomeroon River, the Kitty/Providence NDC and Moruka/Pheonix NDC will be merged into one due to the small population size.

    In Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara), the Toevlugt/Patentia was extended to the village of Free and Easy to capture a few hundred more residents.

    In Region Four (Demerara – Mahaica), the 2016 boundaries will be reverted to.

    In Region Five (Mahaica – Berbice), the Woodlands/Farm NDC was extended to include areas in the DeHoop Access Road including No. 10 Mahaica, Little Biaboo, Big Biaboo.

    In Region Six (East Berbice – Corentyne), the No. 52/No. 74 NDC will be split into two NDCs – No. 52/No. 63 and No. 64/No. 74 to allow for better management and greater representation for the large catchment area.

    The local government organs in Regions Eight (Potaro – Siparuni), Nine (Upper Takutu – Upper Esequibo), 10 (Upper Demerara – Berbice) and Georgetown will remain the same.

    In 2018, there were 1,192 councillors in 596 constituencies; this will be increased to 1,220 councillors in 610 constituencies in 2023.

    The CJ noted on Tuesday that she was not inclined to accept arguments that the new demarcations have created an unfair advantage for the governing party.

    And Kurt DaSilva, attorney for GECOM, pointed out that the electoral body carried out its duties in keeping with the law and did nothing to increase or reduce chances for any political party.

    “Whether it turns out a party is more successful, that cannot be a consideration of GECOM,” he added.

    Article 72 of the Constitution provides for the division of Guyana into sub-divisions as is necessary for the purpose of organising local democratic organs.

    In doing the division, consideration must be given to, among other things, the population, the physical size and geographic characteristics, and economic resources.

    The Constitution also sets out that divisions should be provided for where there is the need for such and where the people request their establishment.

    The ruling on Wednesday is expected at noon and the Chief Justice has made it clear that the Court’s consideration is on any unlawful act.

  • Chief Justice rules Wednesday on case seeking to postpone Local Gov’t Elections

    Chief Justice rules Wednesday on case seeking to postpone Local Gov’t Elections

    LGE is June 12.

    The ruling is expected at noon and the Chief Justice has made it clear that the Court’s consideration is on any unlawful act and not on the investments already made towards the elections.

    In two separate hearings on Tuesday, the Chief Justice entertained oral arguments by the attorney for the Applicant, Linden Amsterdam, and Counsel for the Guyana Election Commission (GECOM), Kurt DaSilva.

    The application in the High Court was made by Carol Joseph, the Chief Scrutineer of APNU, and a supporting affidavit was filed by Vincent Alexander, Commissioner of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), in which he argues that the PNC will be disadvantaged if the June 12, 2023 elections go ahead with the boundaries that have been set out.

    GECOM, by way of a majority vote on January 31, 2023, agreed to change the boundaries of 37 constituencies in 19 local authority areas. It subsequently issued an order to this effect. The changes were published in the official gazette on February 8, 2023.

    Joseph, in her application, claims that this was done in violation of Article 72 of the Constitution and Section 3 (1) (a) and (b) of the Local Authorities Act Chapter 28:03.

    Joseph wants the Court to issue an order directing GECOM to comply with the legal provisions cited before attempting to change the boundaries of any constituency in Guyana and before the holding of Local Government Elections.

    On Tuesday, Attorney General Anil Nandlall and Government Parliamentarian Sanjeev Datadin were both denied their requests to intervene and be heard in the matter.

    Datadin is representing Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo in his capacity as General Secretary of the governing People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and head of the list.

    They argued that the matter was of national importance and that both the state (AG Chambers) and the PPP/C were affected parties.

    The CJ ruled that GECOM was independent and could properly represent itself, setting aside arguments that monies were already spent to run off the elections and the PPP/C was the only party contesting all the local authority areas.

    “I’m not going to accept that as justification for permitting intervention. I don’t see it as a justification or proper reason.

    “If affected parties must be heard then every citizen is effectively an affected party,” Justice George said.

    The CJ noted too that she was not inclined to accept arguments that the new demarcations have created an unfair advantage for the governing party, particularly since Nandlall and Datadin were not allowed to intervene.

    And DaSilva pointed out that GECOM carried out its duties in keeping with the law and did nothing to increase or reduce chances for any political party.

    “Whether it turns out a party is more successful, that cannot be a consideration of GECOM,” he added.

    Amsterdam was concerned particularly with the fact that not only new demarcations were made but new areas were created, initially by the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, as he is empowered to do, and then ratified by GECOM.

    Article 72 of the Constitution provides for the division of Guyana into sub-divisions as is necessary for the purpose of organising local democratic organs. In doing the division, consideration must be given to, among other things, the population, the physical size and geographic characteristics, and economic resources.

    The Constitution also sets out that divisions should be provided for where there is the need for such and where the people request their establishment.
