“Come on Jagdeo, be a big boy and talk about your history of corruption, failed projects, gifting extravagant parts of Guyana to your friends and cronies, the giveaway of the radio licences, the Skeldon “white elephant” factory etc.” ?Considering the latest fascination of former President Bharrat Jagdeo to call on members of the oppositionFormer President Bharrat Jagdeoto “face their record,” APNU executive member, Carl Greenidge, sought to send him a stern message.“Instead of calling on others to do that, why don’t you face your own nasty record which shows nothing but poor governance?”He said that the former President also needs to stop trying to take credit for things that never occurred under his watch like major declines in the overall debt rate and improved measures of transparency and accountability.“That is a fabricated record Jagdeo is trying to paint for himself,” Greenidge added.Since the former President surfaced to support the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) during its election campaign, he has called on various members of the opposition to confront things he claimed they did.Jagdeo at his second press conference held at Freedom House on Saturday, went into an exhaustive critique of Greenidge’s performance when he served as Minister of Finance over two decades ago.He said that the financial point man for A Partnership for National Unity was the most unaccountable Minister of Finance in Guyana’s history.The former President said that when the country’s economy was under the stewardship of Carl Greenidge,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the nation was not creditworthy.In fact, he claimed that accounts of the country were not available for auditing for almost ten years duringAPNU Executive Member, Carl GreenidgeGreenidge’s tenure, and as Minister of Finance he incurred the largest rate of external debt for the nation.He even brought specially for Kaieteur News,China Jerseys, a copy of Greenidge’s transport of prime property in Bel Air which he acquired just after demitting office in 1992 for $4 million.Jagdeo had said that while he does not want to venture into the past, Greenidge must face his record.Even at the PPP/C’s rally in Kitty on Sunday last, the APNU Executive was still on his mind. Jagdeo spoke about his opponent in less than friendly terms.RESPONSEGreenidge in response said, “I really want Jagdeo to tell me why he is so obsessed with me. It’s laughable.”As it relates to Jagdeo’s gifting of a copy of Greenidge’s transport to the media to suggest that Greenidge engaged in a corrupt transaction in 1992, the APNU executive deemed this to be “wicked and malicious but all the same hilarious.”In relation to his Bel Air home,Wholesale MLB Jerseys 2018, Greenidge said,Wholesale NFL China Jerseys, “Guyana Stores which owned and managed the properties sold them from time to time to persons on the basis of private agreements.The properties were sold to the former Bookers/GuySuCo managers who lived in them as well as to private individuals. In keeping with that policy, when I offered to buy the property, they initiated a process of sale which was perfectly normal. The property is not on special land.The allegation of fraud is malicious.”The politician also sought to address Jagdeo’s accusations that he wrote to the Auditor General when he served as Finance Minister, prohibiting him from auditing NICIL’s books and the country’s accounts.“It is clear from these allegations that Jagdeo, as a former President, is unable to drop the most distinctive characteristic he exhibited as a President,Cheap NBA Jerseys Wholesale, being a perpetual stranger to the truth. The PPP has been making these allegations for the last 23 years. The claims are inaccurate and silly.”“I urge him to complete his story by finding the letter in question and, since he is so sure of himself, he should have the Police take action against me in relation to the corrupt transaction. I challenge him to make it public.”Greenidge said that he is surprised that Jagdeo could take the trouble to find a copy of the transport to a property he owns, but was unable to ensure that he fix the Skeldon Sugar Factory which he gave a personal commitment to doing.He added, “Come on Jagdeo, be a big boy and talk about your history of corruption, failed projects, gifting extravagant parts of Guyana to your friends and cronies, the giveaway of the radio licences, yhe Skeldon “white elephant” factory,Jerseys From China, the failed Guyana/Brazil cable project, and the tax-funded Marriott Hotel.”He also said that Jagdeo must speak about the Sanata Complex giveaway, the sale of the GPC, the Amaila Falls road project, the Specialty Hospital, th

By Leonard GildarieAlmost 50 stalls lining the public road outside the La Penitence market are to be removed as Government announced plans to widen the road further to ease the traffic congestion on the East Bank Demerara roadway.Even as the stallholders expressed surprise and fear at the announcement, Mayor of Georgetown,Wholesale Jerseys China, Hamilton Green, yesterday met with the contractors,Cheap Wholesale Jerseys, R. Bassoo and Sons,Cheap Jerseys Store, and Government engineers at the market to discuss the issue.Flexing muscles?- City’s Mayor,Cheap Jerseys, Hamilton Green and Minister of Public Works, Robeson Benn, yesterday discuss the widening of the La Penitence road to ease traffic congestion. At center is Clerk of Markets, Schulder Griffith. Shortly after, the group was joined by Minister of Public Works and Transport, Robeson Benn, who confirmed that Saffon Street,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the road immediately east of the market which is a main artery to the East Bank Demerara, is to be made a two-way again. Plans have already drawn up to this effect.With several stalls located very close to the road, Benn was clear that these have to be removed since they would continue to impede the flow of traffic.Currently, the road is closed between 06:00-18:00hrs daily for the northern-bound, city traffic. Additionally, Benn disclosed, authorities have been keeping a close eye on the traditional Sunday market in the area. The ‘Sunday market’, as it has become popularly known, has become a tradition for weekly shoppers who look to cash in on food deals.Last week, the road was closed as government workers repaved it in preparation for the two-way traffic.Yesterday, Green told the group of road officials that his administration will not “stop progress” but that the municipality wanted full details to be provided.According to Minister Benn,NFL Cheap Jerseys, the opening of the road to two-way traffic again during the day will ease the bottleneck around the La Penitence area. That problem is compounded at the southern end of Lombard Street where the offices of the Guyana National Shipping Corporation are. With containers in and out of there, the backup has now become a daily problem.Over the past few years, traffic on the Guyana roadways has increased by 17 per cent.With no moratorium on the number of minibuses on the road and the development of new housing schemes on the East and West Bank Demerara, even the placement of traffic lights is failing to ease the traffic woes.At the northern end of the La Penitence market, the bridge at Saffon and Sussex Streets is to be widened also with the mandatory removal of the stalls. This would mean further road closure.However, closing off the La Penitence area for a few weeks will provide a huge headache for road officials faced with the choice of having to reroute traffic. The options are very few with many of the side streets in Albouystown too small or in a bad state.Yesterday several of the stallholders said they have not received any official notice to move. The stalls are said to be located over road drains leading to the Sussex Street canal.“When we receive notices, we will deal with it,” one stallholder who has been operating for over a decade, said.Traffic on the East Bank Demerara has been critical over the past years with even the four-lane highway unable to handle the increase in the number of vehicles.To help the congestion around the peak morning hours of between 07:00-09:00hrs, and between 16:00-18:00hrs, authorities at the Demerara Harbour Bridge have been forced to restrict lanes of traffic for specific periods.In the city, late last week, the Mayor and City Councillors also announced measures to ease the congestion posed by containers parked for prolonged periods and said that from this week, prior permission will have to be sought.The police have also announced restriction of containers and trucks on the East Bank Demerara roadway during peak times.
