Proceedings and Debates of the National Assembly of the First PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE FIRST SESSION (2015-2018) OF THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF GUYANA UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE CO-OPERATIVE REPUBLIC OF GUYANA HELD IN THE PARLIAMENT CHAMBER, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, BRICKDAM, GEORGETOWN 108TH Sitting Wednesday, 12TH December, 2018 The Assembly convened at 10.15 a.m. Prayers [Mr. Speaker in the Chair] PRESENTATION OF PAPERS AND REPORTS The following reports were laid: (1) Value-Added Tax (Amendment of Schedule I Order 2018 – No. 49 of 2018. (2) Value-Added Tax (Amendment) Regulations 2018 – No. 12 of 2018. [Minister of Finance] PUBLIC BUSINESS GOVERNMENT BUSINESS MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE THE ESTIMATES OF EXPENDITURE FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER, 2019 1 WHEREAS the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana requires that Estimates of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana for any financial year should be laid before the National Assembly; AND WHEREAS the Constitution also provides that when the Estimates of Expenditure have been approved by the Assembly an Appropriation Bill shall be introduced in the Assembly providing for the issue from the Consolidated Fund of the sums necessary to meet that expenditure; AND WHEREAS the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana for the financial year 2018 have been prepared and laid before the Assembly on 2018-11- 26. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That this National Assembly approves the Estimates of Expenditure for the financial year 2019, of a total sum of two hundred and seventy seven billion, four hundred and thirty one million, nine hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars ($277,431,968,000), excluding twenty three billion, two hundred and eighty seven million, and forty three thousand dollars ($23,287,043,000) which is chargeable by law, as detailed therein and summarised in the undermentioned schedule, and agree that it is expedient to amend the law and to make further provision in respect of finance. [Minister of Finance] Mr. Speaker: Hon. Members, we will continue our consideration of the Estimates of Expenditure for 2019. The House will resolve itself into committee to undertake this work. Assembly resolved itself into Committee of Supply. In Committee of Supply. Mr. Chairman: Hon. Members, you will recall the announcement I made before we rose yesterday. We are now on the third day of our consideration and, this morning, we will start with Agency 40, Ministry of Education. Agency 40: Ministry of Education [10.19 a.m.] 2 Current Expenditure Programme: 401 – Policy Development and Administration - $1,773,993,000 Ms. Selman: Line item 6284 – Other: Could the Hon. Minister say what is responsible for the dramatic increase in budgetary provision for “Other”, and, maybe, could she provide, in writing, the other goods and services that will be purchased by utilising this budgetary provision? Minister of Education [Dr. Henry]: In response to the question, there are seven items that are catered for with this allocation; the first being the clearing of containers of books and the cost of miscellaneous goods by the Book Distribution Unit (BDU), and that will be in excess of $4 million. We are also catering for advertisements in all four daily newspapers and appearances on television by staff. The third item would be to pay part time staff to input information into the Human Resources Information Database System. We are moving to an electronic database for human resource. That is something that we had not done in the past, and, therefore, additional sums would have been allocated for that. We are going to be rolling out the Electronic Management Information System software to additional secondary schools. We will also maintain network infrastructure; we are going to be updating the antivirus solution and monitor network; and we are also going to be doing payment to the evaluators and the Ministerial Tender Board members, who will benefit from a stipend. There will be three evaluators that will be attending these meetings, and they will be paid per sitting. The sixth item that we are going to be doing is subscription cost for analytic solution, which is a software that we use for monitoring and evaluation by the Planning Unit. The final item to be covered with this allocation would be licensing for publishers for text, where we will be piloting e-books in schools. 3 Ms. Manickchand: A follow-up on that: Is there any money provided under this line item for the enhancement and/ or addition to the present website, which was created in the first place to bring about some sort of equity across the country so that everyone could access the Ministry’s programmes and publications, and not just those who can afford to purchase copies from stores. Nothing new has been published on that site for a very long time. Dr. Henry: First of all, let me say that new things have been published and that new things will continue to be published, some of which you will repost. However, I want to point out that allocations would have been provided for the maintenance of the network infrastructure, and that takes into consideration the Ministry of Education’s website. Ms. Selman: Line item 6302: Training (including Scholarships): Could the Hon. Minister indicate or tell me what type of training budgetary allocation covers under this line item? Dr. Henry: This line item caters for workshop stipend. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Office here will be hosting a number of workshops for the Commission, and some of these would include capacity building workshops. It is focusing on two big programmes; man and the biosphere and it are also looking at the Sandwatch Project for the community development workers, et cetera. The Procurement Unit is also another important unit, and it will also be conducting training for staff throughout the Ministry. The Procurement Unit will conduct training which would provide capacity building, give relevant guidance and valid certification to staff, which are related to procurement issues. These are the big trainings that will be occurring under this programme. There is also one other area that we will focus on in this area, and that will be the Special Projects Training. That will be training related to the National School Feeding Programme, and training for the School Feeding Programme. Those are the areas to which training is speaking. Ms. Manickchand: Again, on line item 6284, would the Minister be willing to layover to the House, before the end of this week, the new items that were published on the website that parents, students and teachers could use, and the dates of publication? That is the first question. 4 Secondly, on line item 6291, National and Other Events, I see a significant increase from the money actually spent in 2018, for 2019, and an even more significant increase when compared to the actual money spent in 2017. Could the Minister kindly explain why there is an increase and what will be celebrated under this line item? Dr. Henry: For this line item and for this 2019 allocation, the Ministry intends to have an education exposition. This is the first time we will be hosting such an event, and, therefore, allocations were made under this line item for that. In addition, over the years we have always had issues related to the financing of the National Schools’ Championship, and so we have decided to increase the allocation for that. This allocation would also cover the usual other national events that we take care of, such as Education Month and Mashramani, there will also have a book drive, and, certainly, we will observe some of the international days that are designated by the United Nations. Ms. Manickchand: I did not get an answer on whether we could get, laid over for the Education website, the new publications uploaded and when they were uploaded. We just want it laid over. If the Hon. Minister could say, when she stands up, that she will or that she will not, depending on what she wants to say, then that would be an answer. Following up on line item 6291, the Education Month Exposition 2018, which I think will be incredible to show case all that we can do and have, was scheduled to happen this year, as far as the press reports went. Is it because of a lack of money that it did not happen? Secondly, the Hon. Minister mentioned “Education Month”. Is it because of a lack of money in 2018 that “Education Month” was practically not celebrated and led one newspaper to comment that it was cancelled. Thirdly, the Minister mentioned international days such as the International Literacy Day on 8th September, 2018. Again, this year, we saw that go with no celebration and with very little done. Is it because of a lack of money in 2018 that these days were not observed? 5 Dr. Henry: First of all, in relation to Education Month, we observed Education Month in what we believe was a fitting way, and the sums allocated were adequate to do what we had intended to get done in terms of our calendar of activities for 2018. 10.30 a.m. With regards to the Education Month Exposition 2018, we felt that given the industrial action by many of our teachers during the beginning of the new school year, it would not have been appropriate to go ahead with the hosting of that event. In so far as the other activities are related which were observed by the United Nations, in my own deliberate judgement, I felt that they were adequately celebrated to the extent that we wanted to celebrate them.

    USAID/GEO Guyana Economic Opportunities DRAFT REPORT A PROFILE OF THE TOURISM SECTOR Prepared by Mark Bynoe Submitted by: Chemonics International Inc. In association with Management Systems International, Inc To: United States Agency for International Development Georgetown, Guyana Under Contract No. 504-C-00-99-00009-00 June 2004 Technical Report N° 78 D R A F T Foreword The Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest) requested assistance in developing investment profiles of priority economic sectors. The Guyana Manufacturers’ Association (in conjunctions with the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce) has also requested assistance in developing sector profiles as a policy tool to identify strengths, weaknesses and needed policy changes to help grow various sectors. The purpose of this report is to support the development of those profiles, by providing an initial overview of one of the sectors. This report is not intended as a definitive assessment of the tourism sector. Instead its purpose is to provide an initial overview through a review of existing reports and through preliminary discussions with those involved in the sector. Due to the timing of the exercise at the end of the GEO project, there was unfortunately not sufficient time to complete the work in developing the two profiles, one for potential investors and one for policy makers. It is hoped that this initial work will contribute to the production of the final profiles. i D R A F T Table of Contents Page Foreword Table of Contents 1 List of Figures 2 Sector Profile: The

  • 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.

A RETURN TO DARK SHAMANS: KANAIMA & THE COSMOLOGY OF THREAT by Tarryl L. Janik Jr. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2018 ABSTRACT A RETURN TO DARK SHAMANS: KANAIMA & THE COSMOLOGY OF THREAT by Tarryl L. Janik Jr. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2018 Under the Supervision of Professor Ingrid Jordt Kanaima in Amazonia has been theorized within anthropology as “assault sorcery,” “dark shamanism,” and “anti-structure.” Among the Patamuna Indians of Guyana kanaima have been theorized as “cultural expression” of “hyper-traditionality” in response to an encroaching state, its industry and development, evangelism, and modernity (Whitehead; 2002). Kanaima is a mode of terror and violence, of healing, enhancing power, and performing masculinity—a symbol that operates in Patamuna mythology, cosmology, and place-making.
