Henry PRAYERS 4 1980-04-17 2:10 – 2:20 p.m. 2:10 p.m. PUBLIC BUSINESS MOTION APPROVAL OF ESTIMATES OF EXPENDITURE FOR 1980 Assembly resolved itself into Committee of Supply to resume consideration of the estimates of expenditure for the financial year 1980. Assembly in Committee of Supply. The Chairman: Page 201. DIVISION XXIII – MINISTRY OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT (WORKS) Question proposed that the sum of $39,173,602 for Division XXIII, Ministry of Works and Transport (Works) stand part of the Estimates. Cde. Nokta: Subheads 1, 5, 16, 37, 38 and 46. On subhead 1, Georgetown Approaches, I notice here quite a tidy sum is being sought and the legend states “To provide for the purchase of miscellaneous equipment for the Demerara Bridge”, but the subhead states “Georgetown Approaches”. I am not quite clear on this. What is really meant? I notice that in 1977 a little more than $1 million was voted. In 1978 it was also a little more than $1million. In 1979 there was a decease. A little over $3 million was approved but only $350,000 was spent and how we are asking for $2.792 million. First, I want to find out what is really meant by this term “Georgetown Approaches” when they are talking about the Demerara Harbour Bridge. Perhaps I can ask the Minister to tell us whether it means miscellaneous equipment for the Bridge or whether it is to construct roads approaching the Demerara Harbour Bridge. I would also like to know how much money has already been spent and how much more it is intended to spend to complete this project. Subhead 5, Access Roads. I notice that in 1977 a sum of more than $2 million was spent. In 1979 the sum of $500,000 was approved but it was revised to a sum of only $225,000 and now we are asking for $1.9 million. I would like to ask the Minister to tell us where these roads are being built and whether they are all-weather roads. We have been hearing much about farm-to-market roads and we would like to have some information on these roads. I would like to know how many of the roads that were started in 1977 have been completed and how many are still to be completed. I now turn to subhead 16, Upper Mazaruni Road Project. The legend states “To continue maintenance work on the road Project”, that is, the Upper Mazaruni Road Project. I am a bit puzzled by this. In 1977 the sum of $9.767 million was spent and every 5 1980-04-17 2:10 – 2:20 p.m. year more money is voted. Now we are asking for another million dollars. I would like the Minister to tell us, having already spent $9 million in 1977 and having spent so much during the other years, how much of this Upper Mazaruni Road Project has already been completed and what more is left to be completed. Subhead 37, Pure Water Supply. It states “Water Supply (Force Account)” and the legend states “To provide for the extension of Pure Water Supply facilities.” I should like the Minister to tell us if this is an extension of water supply facilities, in what areas of Guyana pure water supply is being extended right now, what are the specific areas where pure water supply is being extended, if work has already been started, how far have they gone with work in these areas and when do they estimate that work will be completed on the extension of pure water supply in the various areas. Subhead 38, Water Supply (Contracts). The legend states: “To provide for the digging of wells to supply potable water countrywide.” Here again I want to ask a question. It says “(Contracts)”. First, I should like to find out whether these contractors are local people or foreign. I should also like to find out from the Minister specifically where these new wells are to be dug. Also, I want to ask a question specifically to have a good answer on this: Whether a feasibility study will be carried out on the various sites before digging commences. This is the last one. Subhead 46, Bartica-Issano Road. As I said in the Budget Debate, the Bartica Road is in a very bad state and I have seen that $250,000 is being voted. I should like to ask the Minister, in view of the fact that nearly 236 miles of road have gone bad – I am subject to correction - whether he thinks this amount is enough to put that road back into good shape. I understand that it is so bad that even Government trucks cannot ply the area. The Chairman: A Government truck is different from anybody else’s truck? I just want to know. Cde. Nokta: A Government truck is a Government truck just as a private truck is a private truck. There is a difference. One difference is that Government trucks are not insured and they have to carry passengers on the Bartica Road much to the detriment of the lives of the people. When we had a bad road all the trucks were at a stage where only one truck was operating. We are told that a new one is now put into service. I am afraid that by the time the road is repaired we might have a road but no truck. I want to ask the Minister if he hopes that the road will be completed with this vote of $250,000 and put into good shape or whether it will be subject to a long drawn out state of repairs and then we may not be able to make use of it.

  • Green State Development Strategy: Vision 2040
    Diversified, Resilient, Low-carbon, People-centred VOLUME I POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS, FINANCIAL MECHANISM & IMPLEMENTATION An inclusive and prosperous Guyana that provides a good quality of life for all its citizens “ based on sound education and social protection, low-carbon resilient development, new economic opportunities, justice, and political empowerment. ” Executive Summary Background The Green State Development Strategy: Vision 2040 is Guyana’s twenty-year, national development policy that reflects the guiding vision and principles of the ‘green agenda’: “An inclusive and prosperous Guyana that provides a good quality of life for all its citizens based on sound education and social protection, low-carbon and resilient development, providing new economic opportunities, justice and political empowerment.” The central objective is development that provides a better quality of life for all Guyanese derived from the country’s natural wealth – its diversity of people and abundant natural resources (land, water, forests, mineral and aggregates, biodiversity). The vision of the ‘green agenda’ is centred on principles of a green economy defined by sustainable, low-carbon and resilient development that uses its resources efficiently, and sustained over generations. The development philosophy emphasises the importance of a more cohesive society based on principles of equity and tolerance between ethnic groups – recognising that diversity of culture and heritage is the underlying strength of the country’s human capital. Development objectives therefore seek to improve the health, education and overall well-being of Guyanese citizens, to lift people out of poverty through an economy that generates decent jobs and that provides opportunities for sustaining livelihoods over the long term. For decades, geopolitical events, natural disasters and global commodity price swings have weighed upon Guyana’s development.

  • Eradicating Poverty and Unifying Guyana
    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Eradicating Poverty and Unifying Guyana A Civil Society Document - AN OVERVIEW - I GUYANA - BASIC INFORMATION • Guyana, with an area of 83,000 square miles or 215,000 square kilometres, is located on the northern coast of South America, and is the only English-speaking country on that continent. It is bounded on the north by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by Surinam, on the south and south-west by Brazil, and on the west and north-west by Venezuela. • Guyana is physically divided into four types of landforms: (i) a flat coastal, clayey belt which is about 4.5 feet below sea level, and in which most of its agricultural activity occurs; (ii) a sand belt, to the south of the coastal belt, which includes the Intermediate Savannas; (iii) an undulating, central peneplain which comprises more than half of the country’s area, and in which are located lush, almost pristine, tropical forests, and extensive mineral deposits. This landform stretches from the sand belt to the country’s southern boundary and encompasses, also, the Rupununi Savannas which border Brazil; and (iv) the highlands which are to be found in the midwestern area. This portion of the Guiana Highlands includes the Pakaraima mountain range. • Guyana has a plentitude of natural resources: fertile agricultural lands on the coastal plain and in the riverain areas; vast areas of tropical hardwood forests of various ecosystems and with a multitude of plant and animal species; abundant fish and shrimping grounds, both in its numerous rivers and in the Atlantic Ocean to its north; and a wide variety of minerals, including gold, diamonds, a range of semi-precious stones, bauxite and manganese.

  • 5. Analysis of Charcoal Production Systems in Guyana G
    5. Analysis of charcoal production systems in Guyana G. C. Clarke, Clarke Environmental Consulting INTRODUCTION It is estimated that approximately 1.5 billion people in developing countries derive at least 90% of their energy requirements from wood and charcoal. Another one billion people meet at least 50% of their energy needs this way. In most developing countries, 90% of the people depend on fuelwood as their chief source of fuel and each year the average user burns anywhere from a fifth of a ton, in extremely poor, wood short areas such as India, to well over a ton in parts of Africa and South Asia (GFC, undated). In 1999, it was estimated that 1.9 billion m³ of wood was burned for cooking, to provide heat or to manufacture charcoal for later burning (FAO, 1999). Globally, there is a marked trend for developed countries to have a high per capita usage of energy as a whole, of which wood is a minor component compared with developing countries with a low per capita energy input but a high proportion consisting of fuelwood (firewood and charcoal). Global fuelwood consumption is dominated by Asia and Africa (> 75% of total volume) with South America ranking third at 10%. Five countries: China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Brazil, account for about half the fuelwood and charcoal produced and consumed each year (Matthews, 2000). Unfortunately, analyses of woodfuel consumption are complicated by a dearth of current, comprehensive data. The FAO woodfuel data, for example, are based largely on estimates derived from scattered 1960s household consumption surveys, which are updated annually in line with population and income growth.

  • Highly Prevalent Falciparum Malaria in North West Guyana: Its Development History and Control Problems1
    Highly Prevalent Falciparum Malaria in North West Guyana: Its Development History and Control Problems1 INDAL RAMBAJAN~ After being absent from North West Guyana for over two decades, falciparum malaria returned in force in 1986 and soon developed a high prevalence affecting a large share of the region’s inhabitants. This falciparum upsurge was accompanied by a significanf rise in the number of vivax cases that helped bring the annual parasite index fo figures ranging from 260 positive smears per 1 000 inhabitants in 1986 to 973 in 1988 and 776 in 1991. The chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum strain responsible apparently travelled from the area of the Rupununi River in Southern Guyana to the more northern CuyunilMazarunil Pofaro area in 1985, and from there was broughf into the North West Region, probably by itineranf miners. Circumstances leading fo the present endemic demonstrate how transient populafions, resistant parasites, and economic restraints can interfere with malaria control, and how rapid1.y high malaria prevalences can esfablish themselves in receptive tropical areas vulnerable fo afta&. uyana’s North West Region (Region After Independence, there was a con- G I), encompassing an area of 26 000 siderable influx of other people, mainly km* and occupying the northern tip of Negroes and East Indians, to this region. the country, extends from an eastern The population rose from an estimated boundary, situated roughly 70 km west 5 000-7 000 Amerindians around 1945 to of the Essequibo River, to Venezuela and an estimated 16 000-18 000 inhabitants the Orinoco Delta (Figure 1).

  • Sustainable Forestry Community Forestry
    Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Guyana ER-PIN Guyana’s Emission Reduction Programme for Sustainable Forest Management Thirteenth Meeting of the Carbon Fund (CF13) Brussels October 13-16, 2015 Guyana ER-PIN ER Program Idea Background/Context • Guyana is a REDD+ country with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation. Even with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation there have been drivers of forest change that are impacting on forest cover, and specific drivers of which have shown increases over the past 4 years. • Guyana’s Emission Reduction Program Idea Note (ERPIN) proposes to maintain a low rate of forest change and at the same time, lower emissions where possible where such reductions can be attained through improved practices and enhanced efficiencies. • The proposed nation-wide ER-Program intends to avoid 27.98 MtCO2e/year from 2018 to 2025 through implementing activities and interventions preliminarily selected based on the impacts of the drivers defined by Guyana’s Measurement Reporting Verification System (MRVS). ER Programme lifetime is for 10 years, with ERs offered to Carbon Fund up to 2025. • From the results of the MRVS, it is clear that mining, and associated roads, is the largest emission source during the period 2001 to 2012, followed by timber harvesting activities. National policies and interventions within the ER Programme have been tailored to address these. • The general objective of the program is to promote sustainable natural resources and environmental management by facilitating coordinated remedial land reclamation interventions, aimed towards managing and combatting land and forest degradation from the activities within Guyana`s extractive sectors.

  • The Wonderful Demerara River
    The Wonderful Demerara River By Major General (retd) Joseph G Singh MSS, MSc, FRGS “When your ship has passed the Islands and the blue sea turns to brown, And the leadsman calls ‘Five Fathoms’ when he casts the lead-line down, And you see a long flat coastland and a smokeless wooden town, You can reckon you are nearing Demerara, Demerara, Demerara, you can reckon you are nearing Demerara”. Extract from the National Song: “Way Down Demerara” By R C G Potter 1 Demerara River Hopetown Georgetown Madewini Timehri (Hyde Park) Christianburg Linden (McKenzie) Three Friends Seba Mabura &Great Falls Makari Mountains & Canister Falls 2 The Demerara River – origin of its name, its profile and its significance The early Spanish explorers referred to this river as ‘Rio de Mirar’, the wonderful river, but it was the Dutch who christened the river, the Demerara, from the word ‘Demirar’, the wonderful.1 The wonderful Demerara River originates from the rugged, rain-fed, forested northern slopes of the Makari Mountains, located slightly right of centre of the narrow waist of Guyana. In 1956, while prospecting for diamonds at Lindo Creek, Matthew Young, man of many parts – sugar estate overseer, gold panner, diamond prospector and hinterland construction engineer during the 1920s to 1980, received an invitation to visit Mr Bleakey, a Government Geologist who was working in the area towards the source of the Demerara River. Young wrote: “I dropped downriver to his riverside camp from where Edwards, his boat man carried me to the walking line on which Bleakey and his other geologists were working.

  • (Faran 1980); Argyritarsk Albimanus and Argyritarsis Anophezes
    146 An Annotated Checklist of the Anopheles of Guyana, South America bY Indal Rambajanl ABSTRACT. Twenty-two species of Anopheline mosquitoes are confirmed as occurring in Guyana. In addition, data is presented on several subgenera. INTRODUCTION An annotated checklist of the AnopheZes found in Guyana is presented. It represents an up-date on the reports of Bruce --et al, (1943), Stage & Giglioli (1948) and Giglioli (1948). Giglioli (1948) noted that 16 species of AnopheZes were confirmed records and a number of others were reported as uncertain. In this checklist, 22 species are now confirmed as occurring in Guyana. In addition to the records based on the author's observations, data are included from the following: Subgenus Nyssorhynchus of AnopheZes - AZbimanus Section (Faran 1980); Argyritarsk Section (Linthicum, thesis 1978); Subgenus Kertesz-ia (Zavortink 1973); Knight & Stone (1977); Giglioli (1948); Komp (1942) and Kuyp (1950). In Guyana, the subgenus Nyssorhynchus is presently considered the only medically important group of AnopheZes. Faran & Linthicum (1981) treated the Albimanus and Argyritarsis sections of this subgenus. With the exception of An. albimanus Wiedemann, 1820, the entire subgenus is restricted to the Neotropical Region. AnopheZes aZbimanus is not found in Guyana. Detailed accounts of these two sections were given by Faran (1980), Faran & Linthicum (1981) and Linthicum (Thesis 1978). AnopheZes darZingi Root, 1926, of the Argyritarsis section of the subgenus Nyssorhynchus is considered the most important anopheline in Guyana, being the primary, if not the only vector of human malaria. Also, it has been considered by Davis (1931), Causey, Deane et al, (1945) and Giglioli (1948) to be a possible vector of Wuchereria banerofti- (Ebbold), 1877, the causative organism of human filariasis in Brazil and Guyana.
