Works have begun on the second phase of the Wales, West Bank Demerara housing development which will provide both residential and commercial lots.

Speaking at a recent event, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal said a sum of $17 billion has been set aside to develop the infrastructure in the area to allow access.

“We have begun the Wales Phase Two housing development which is providing both residential and commercial opportunities,” Croal said.

With thousands of allocations already done in the region, Croal said persons will be able to access their lands in the next two weeks.

“Last year alone, we would have committed $6 billion for the first set of infrastructure work for access to allocate that have been done,” Croal said.

The government is well on its way of exceeding its target promised of delivering 50,000 house lots within five years.

(Trinidad and Tobago Guardian) As he prepared to leave office, former Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has called on the country to “complete its independence” by severing ties with the United Kingdom’s Privy Council and adopting the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) as the nation’s final court of appeal.

“It is unjust, it is disgraceful that they would disregard our wider national interest, put a fee on us and tell us while you have to come to us to have our law lords tell you what is right and wrong, you have to pay for a visa to come and do that.”

Rowley’s thoughts on the controversial matter were shared during his final address to People’s National Movement (PNM) supporters on Sunday during a political rally at Woodford Square, Port-of-Spain, where the party presented all 41 candidates. It was the first time he spoke about the United Kingdom government’s sudden imposition of visa requirements on Trinidad and Tobago citizens, a move that has sparked widespread debate and concern.

“What really rots my gut is that I have to also swallow that the highest court of this land is in London at the Privy Council and if you have to go to the Privy Council, you have to go there by way of some arrangements they make for you. Do you really feel independent? Where your highest court is in a foreign country and the foreign country leaders would put down the arrangements by which you could come to that country.”

All nationals of Trinidad and Tobago will now require a visa to enter the UK, including for short visits. The decision, made public on March 12, comes in response to what the UK Government described as a “significant increase” in T&T nationals arriving as visitors and then claiming asylum.

According to an official release from the UK Government, the new visa requirement is intended to address the misuse of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system and to protect the integrity of the UK’s immigration process. “The UK’s relationship with Trinidad and Tobago remains a strong and friendly one,” the statement said, but added that the decision “has not been taken lightly.”

Speaking on the issue, Rowley did not hold back his frustration.

“Well if you all did not know that we should get out of the Privy Council and get to the Caribbean Court of Justice, this treatment by the British government should let all of you know how they view us.”

He also further defended the country’s sovereignty following the travel adjustment.

“If you think they have come around to treating us like equals, you have another thought coming, many of them still believe that we are substandard. We are inferior and they should treat us how they want to treat us…Trinidad and Tobago must complete its independence and get the hell out of the Privy Council.”

The outgoing Prime Minister also lamented the implications of the travel adjustment and while he called for continued dialogue he said the country should not be punished.

“Before you know it, overnight they telling us we had 400 people asking for refugee status. When they ask, it’s a request, you can turn them down, you can tell them no, but their law allows this process to go on for years.

“What Britain has done there is not only to damage us and our feelings but to damage our economy as well because London is a gateway to Europe and every time you have to pass through London to go and do business and worse, the visa is very expensive so it goes from being free to being a charge on you.”

He acknowledged the frustration and anxiety felt by citizens regarding the development and emphasised that diplomacy and constructive engagement must guide the country’s response.

“Today I want to call on our friends in the United Kingdom to review that unjust action against the people of Trinidad and Tobago. We have been and we continue to work closely with security agencies with our Minister of Foreign Affairs and our Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister to identify the raggamuffins who leaving here and go to England and do that and if they cooperate with us they won’t have any refugees problems.”

Laikram Bandine, a 43-year-old motorcyclist, died in an accident along Garrison Road, East Canje, Berbice on Sunday.

Police Headquarters reported that a Bandine was reportedly riding his motorcycle (#SLP2) at about 22:20 hrs Sunday when he collided with a motor car (#PAF 5919) driven by Ravindra Stanley. the 43-year-old Deputy Police Commander for Region Six.

It was noted that the motor car was traveling south along the eastern driving lane of Canje Public Road at a normal speed. The driver reportedly signaled left to make a turn onto Garrison Road, located on the eastern side of the Public Road. While on Garrison Road, Badine allegedly lost control of the motorcycle causing the machine to fall onto the eastern grass parapet before colliding with the left rear fender of Stanley’s car.

Stanley reportedly summoned the Police soon after.

The motorcyclist sustained injuries to his head and other parts of his body. At the time of the accident, Police said the motorcyclist was not wearing a safety helmet.

He was picked up in a semi-conscious state by porters from the New Amsterdam Hospital and then transported to New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where he later died while receiving treatment.

His body is at the hospital’s mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, Stanley underwent a breathalyser test, which registered a reading of zero.

The car and motorcycle have been lodged at the New Amsterdam Police Station for examination. Investigations continue.

Veronica Rondon Alfaro, a Venezuelan from San Felix/El Dorado, Venezuela, was charged with attempted murder on Monday.

Police Headquarters reported that Alfaro was arrested by ranks from Eteringbang Police Station on March 13 after reportedly trying to murder Frederick Junior Stanford, a 36-year-old businessman from Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.

It was reported that Alfaro and Stanford shared an intimate relationship at Mango Landing, Region Seven for the past year.

According to the businessman, the Venezuelan woman left his place of business and went to a nearby shop owned by a 30-year-old male Venezuelan national on March 9. While there, she and the shop owner consumed alcohol.

At about 23:00 hrs that day, the woman returned to Stanford’s place of business, which was closed, and knocked on the door. The businessman reportedly told her “to go back where you went.”

Subsequently, the businessman opened his door and the Venezuelan woman rushed in with a one-litre Coca-Cola bottle containing gasoline, which she allegedly threw on the victim. A scuffle then ensued between the victim and the suspect, causing some of the remaining gasoline to fall on the suspect.

Thereafter, the woman lit a lighter, causing both parties to be physically burned about the body.

Public-spirited citizens intervened and transported both the suspect and the victim to Eteringbang Police Station, where they were medevacked to Georgetown via a Guyana Defence Force aircraft to seek medical attention.

At around 11:30 hrs Monday, the woman appeared (virtually) in the Kamarang Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Rabindranaught Singh.

The trial into the 2020 General and Regional Elections continued on Monday with the first witness, Rosalinda Rasul, being cross-examined.

Rasul, who is currently the head of the Diaspora Unit at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, served as a local observer for the American Chamber of Commerce of Guyana (AmCham) during the March 2020 elections.

The trial is being heard at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before acting Chief Magistrate, Faith McGusty.

During cross examination, Rasul was grilled by defense attorney, Nigel Hughes. The questions posed by Hughes stemmed from events which took place at the Ashmins building while Rasul was present there on March 4 and March 12.

Rasul admitted that the statement which she provided to Sophia Chote, the counsel for the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the elections, was amended and some information omitted before it was provided to the Police.

Elections fraud trial: Local observer says repeated objections during tabulation were ignored

Outside of the ongoing court trial, a Presidential CoI into the elections was conducted. That CoI featured numerous testimonies, including testimony from Rasul, and found that there were attempts to derail the 2020 General and Regional Elections.

Meanwhile, Rasul admitted she did not directly hear Region Four Returning Clairmont Mingo declare the results for District 4.

This was a contentious issue as Mingo is one of the Guyana Elections Commissions (GECOM) officers facing fraud charges for his role in attempts to derail the elections. He is accused of declaring false results for Region Four, which would have given APNU+AFC an election victory.

The attempts to delay the tabulation of votes cast in Region Four, exchanges and chaos during the false declaration of results by Mingo and the issuance of a court order were delved into. Rasul also faced questions about the whereabouts and possession of Statements of Poll (SOPs) and a bomb scare at the building.

“I refused to leave because I did not believe there was a bomb scarce.

“Other persons including party agents also remained in the building,” Rasul said in response to questions from Hughes.

After Hughes concluded, another defense attorney, Eusi Anderson started his cross examination. He focused on the period during which Rasul served as an observer and bought to the court attention affidavit in which she was named.

“I served as a local observer up to when my service was required…That was on March 13,” Rasul said in response to a question from Anderson.

Anderson, however, presented an affidavit, dated March 19, 2020, which seemed to suggest that Rasul was in contact with PPP representative Anil Nandlall after she completed her observer duties. That affidavit was admitted to the court as evidence.

Nine individuals are before the court in relation to electoral fraud. They are: former APNU+AFC government minister Volda Lawrence; former GECOM Chief Elections Officer Keith Lowenfield; former GECOM Returning Officer for District Four Clairmont Mingo; former GECOM Deputy Chief Election Officer Roxanne Myers; APNU+AFC’s Chief Scrutineer Carol Smith Joseph; and former GECOM employees Sheffern February, Enrique Livan, Michelle Miller, and Denise Babb-Cummings.

They face nine conspiracy charges allegedly committed between Election Day (2 March 2020) and 2 August 2020.

It is alleged that the defendants conspired during the 2020 General and Regional Elections to defraud the electors of Guyana by declaring a false account of votes cast, and deny the PPP of a victory. The elections were stalled for five months until August 2020 when Irfaan Ali was sworn-in as President and the PPP took office.

The defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case finally commenced in July 2024 after years of delays. However, further setbacks occurred when presiding magistrate Leron Daly reported sick and extended his leave, necessitating the reassignment of the case.

The trial was adjourned to Tuesday, March 18, when Anderson is expected to continue cross examining Rasul.

The defence also requested for a visit to the locations being referred to during the presentation of evidence. The two sites would be Ashmins Building which housed the Guyana Elections Commission command center and the GECOM headquarters. A decision has not yet been made as to when this visit will be facilitated.

Asgar Ramirez, a 25-year-old resident of Duke Street, Kingston, died on Sunday after the car he was driving collided with a lorry parked at Yarrowkabra along the Soesdyke/ Linden Highway.

Police Headquarters said the accident happened around 20:30 hrs Sunday. It involved motor lorry #GAG 5478 which was driven by 31-year-old Anthony Vriese and motor car #PRR 7155, driven by Ramirez.

Preliminary inquiries revealed that the car was traveling north along the western side of the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, at a fast rate. Ramirez reportedly lost control of the vehicle and collided with the rear of the lorry, which was parked on the western side of the road and facing north.

The lorry was parked there because it experienced mechanical problems at approximately 16:30 hrs Sunday. This was reported to the Highway Patrol Base, and Police Officers were the scene. They secured the area by placing reflective cones around the rear, sides, and front of the lorry. At the time of the collision,  Vriese and other individuals were at the side of the lorry, attempting to repair it.

The collision resulted in extensive damage to both vehicles.  Ramirez sustained severe head injuries and other bodily injuries. He was later extracted from the motor car in an unconscious state by Police Officers and members of the public and taken to the to Diamond Hospital, where a doctor examined him and pronounced him dead.

The body was subsequently transported to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, pending a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, Vriese is in custody assisting with the investigation.

The Government of Guyana launched its $10,000 Universal Healthcare Voucher programme for citizens, a move expected to benefit about 500,000 individuals.

The programme doesn’t just involve a $10,000 voucher being given to citizens. With this voucher, citizens can also access subsidised health services at many healthcare facilities across the country.

In simpler terms, you can use your healthcare voucher to pay for certain services which are also being offered at a discounted rate.

So, how do the vouchers and discounts work?

Well, the Ministry of Health provided a list of the subsidised cost for various health services. Once you take your voucher to the health facilities that partnered with the government, you will pay the reduced cost instead of the cost the facility charged before.

For example, an adult with the voucher can get a Complete Blood Count (CBC) done at one of the private facilities partnering with the government for a lower cost of $3,000.

The News Room engaged two private healthcare providers on the cost of the CBC on Monday. Ordinarily, the CBC costs between $4,000 and $5,800 for adults.

This reduction exists for a range of other tests and services.

Based on the information from the Ministry of Health, an individual should pay $3,000 for a kidney function test and $5,000 for a thyroid function test. A medical laboratory in Georgetown told the News Room that these tests usually cost $19,500 (kidney function) and $9,000 (thyroid function).

If a person chooses to do a combination of tests with the voucher, they will still get the discounted rates. If the total goes above $10,000, however, they will be required to pay the difference.

The full list of the subsidised services that can be accessed with the voucher is below:

Adults
o Complete Blood Count and Differential – $3000
o Liver Function Tests – $4000
o Kidney Function Tests – $3000
o Thyroid Function Tests – $5000
o Lipid Profile Tests – $5000
o Prostate Specific Antigen Test – $4000
o Faecal Occult Blood Test – $1000
o Urine Analysis – $2000
o HbA1c – $4000

Children
– Neonates 7-28 days old
o Thyroid Function Tests – $5000
o Haemoglobin Electrophoresis – $10,000

– Infants (less than 1 year old)
o Thyroid Function Tests – $5000
o Complete Blood Count with Differential – $4000
o Haemoglobin Electrophoresis – $10,000
o Kidney Function Tests – $3000

– Children 1- 5 years of age
o Complete Blood Count with Differential – $4000
o Haemoglobin Electrophoresis – $10,000
o Kidney Function Tests – $3000
o Thyroid Function Tests – $5000
o Lipid Profile Tests – $5000
o HbA1c – $4000
o Urine Analysis – $2000

– Children 6 – 17 years of age
o Lipid Profile Tests – $5000
o Urine Analysis – $2000
o HbA1c – $4000
o Complete Blood Count With Differential – $4000
o Kidney Function Tests – $3000

The Ministry of Health also shared the list of participating private centres, though the News Room understands the list is still being updated as more facilities join the programme.

This programme was first announced in January when Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh presented the 2025 National Budget. It was conceptualised to help finance a “basic menu” of health services, according to Dr. Singh.

On Saturday, President Dr. Irfaan Ali and Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony launched the voucher.

“Once you have this voucher it is not only about 10,000 but it is about the 40 to 70% discount of services you will receive at the private hospitals and centers,” President Ali said on Saturday.

The Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL) on Monday announced that it was discontinuing the partnership with the ISDC and the University of Staffordshire.

This move follows concerns raised by students and attempts to engage stakeholders. In its statement, GOAL said students part of the programmes associated with the ISDC and the University of Staffordshire will be engaged this week on solutions available. Already, GOAL said, affected students can transfer to other universities willing to accept the credits earned.

See below the full statement from GOAL:

The Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL) remains committed to expanding access to online education for Guyanese citizens. Since its establishment, GOAL has transformed lives through academic and professional training, facilitated by strategic partnerships with over 20 local, regional, and international institutions.

GOAL’s success is underpinned by the unwavering support of its partners, which include:

• Action Invest, Guyana
• ACCA-affiliated institutions, Guyana
• Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Ireland
• Amity University, UAE
• International Skill Development Corporation (ISDC), UK
• Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), India
• JAIN “Deemed to be” University (JAIN), India
• New Guyana School, Guyana
• Nations Inc., Guyana
• QualiTest Inc., Guyana
• Robert Gordon University, Scotland
• Texila American University, Guyana
• The University of the West Indies, Barbados
• Universidad Católica de Murcia – Structuralia, Spain
• University of the Caribbean, Dominican Republic
• University of the Southern Caribbean, Trinidad
• University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, India
• UNICAF in partnership with the University of East London, UK
• UNICAF in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University, UK
• UNICAF in partnership with the University of Suffolk, UK
• UNICAF University, Zambia
• UNICAF University, Malawi

These partnerships provide Guyanese students with opportunities to pursue academic programmes in diverse fields, including business, technology, healthcare, and engineering. Additionally, GOAL collaborates with third-party partners to enhance the delivery of its programmes. These partners are: International Skill Development Corporation (ISDC), UK; Structuralia, Spain; UNICAF, Cyprus and Coursera, USA.

Between 2021 and 2024, GOAL awarded a total of 29,758 scholarships. The number of scholarships granted has increased steadily each year, reflecting a 32.4% growth from 6,280 in 2021 to 8,316 in 2024. The most significant annual increase occurred between 2021 and 2022, at 18%.

At a meeting on November 30, 2023, a GOAL representative met with the leadership of the University of Staffordshire (UoS) and ISDC at UoS’s London Campus to discuss collaboration in delivering undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes to Guyanese students via the SQA progression pathway. The meeting was productive, resulting in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ISDC and GOAL. Under this agreement, GOAL scholars would pursue their degrees through the ISDC progression pathway, leading to UoS qualifications. Subsequently, UoS officials issued a letter to GOAL confirming this arrangement, while ISDC’s Executive Director provided a similar confirmation in writing.

Since 2022, GOAL has collaborated with ISDC in delivering the Get Ready for Opportunities to Work (GROW) initiative, which has benefited over 4,000 Guyanese by enabling access to tertiary education. Many of these students are now nearing completion of their bachelor’s degrees at internationally accredited universities. Recognising the potential of a UK degree pathway with tuition fee discounts based on enrolment volumes, GOAL pursued this opportunity to increase the number of scholarships available to deserving citizens.

The ISDC pathways are well-established in the UK and have facilitated access to higher education for students worldwide. ISDC is accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority and currently collaborates with approximately 20 UK universities.
As previously noted, ISDC is one of GOAL’s third-party partners. Similarly, UNICAF provides access to three UK universities as well as two universities based in Africa, while Structuralia, another third-party provider, collaborates with the Organisation of American States to offer master’s degree qualifications from European universities. These partnerships have been instrumental in delivering internationally accredited university education at scale, with significant tuition fee reductions.

Following the finalisation of GOAL’s partnership with ISDC, approximately 1,400 Guyanese were awarded scholarships under the UoS/ISDC SQA progression pathway in August 2024. However, it was not until late January 2025 that GOAL was made aware of challenges affecting the delivery of academic programmes under this arrangement. Multiple efforts were undertaken to address these issues, including three virtual meetings with affected students. Initially, the difficulties pertained to a mismatch in course offerings, access to the Learning Management System (LMS), and inaccuracies in course matrices. However, the situation escalated into a dispute between UoS and ISDC over the implementation of their partnership. At no point prior to this had either institution formally notified GOAL of the breakdown in their collaboration or its implications for our scholars.

Attempts to engage directly with UoS leadership were unsuccessful. It is our understanding that legal representatives of both parties are currently negotiating a resolution. Since this dispute came to light, GOAL has provided affected scholars with opportunities to transfer to other partnering universities. Additionally, ISDC is actively engaging five UK universities—Arden University, Queen Margaret University, University of the West of Scotland, Wrexham University, and Cardiff Metropolitan University—that are likely to accept our awardees and recognise the credits they have earned under the disrupted partnership.

GOAL sincerely apologises to its awardees for the inconvenience and frustration caused by this situation. We assure them that every effort is being made to safeguard their academic progress. Affected scholars will be contacted before the end of the week with details of available transfer options within our network of partner universities.

In a proactive move to foster a safer and more responsible sporting environment, the National Sports Commission (NSC), in collaboration with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), will be hosting a meeting on Saturday, March 22, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall from 10:00h.

The meeting is a mandatory engagement for all executive members of National Federations and Associations.

The focus will be on criminal law, with a special emphasis on the Sexual Offences Act.

Discussions will be led by Assistant DPP, Tiffini Lyken, and the DPP’s Communications Officer, Liz Rahaman, who will provide essential insights into legal matters affecting the sporting landscape.

The initiative is particularly significant as it coincides with International Women’s Day and Women’s Month observances, reinforcing the collective commitment to raising awareness and strengthening the fight against domestic violence, including sexual violence.

Notably, the meeting will address critical issues surrounding the protection of women and children, ensuring that all stakeholders within the sporting fraternity are well-informed and equipped to contribute to a safe and just sporting community.

With increasing global attention on safeguarding individuals in sports, the forum presents an invaluable opportunity for sports administrators to understand their legal obligations and responsibilities.

The discussions will highlight preventative measures, legal repercussions, and the role of sports organisations in fostering a culture of respect and accountability.

The NSC urges all invitees to make every effort to attend this essential meeting, as the insights gained will not only enhance governance within sports but also contribute to the overall well-being and security of athletes and officials alike.
