Proceedings and Debates of the National Assembly of the First
PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE FIRST SESSION (2006-2011) OF THE NINTH PARLIAMENT OF GUYANA UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE CO-OPERATIVE REPUBLIC OF GUYANA HELD IN THE PARLIAMENT CHAMBER, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, BRICKDAM, GEORGETOWN 148TH Sitting Wednesday, 2ND February, 2011 The Assembly convened at 2.08 p.m. Prayers [Mr. Speaker in the Chair] STATEMENTS BY MINISTERS, INCLUDING POLICY STATEMENTS CLARIFICATION ON COST OF LAPTOP UNDER GOVERNMENT’S (OLFP) PROGRAMME The Minister within the Ministry of Finance [Ms. Webster]: I would like to make the following statement on the One Laptop Per Family Project (OLFP) in view of certain reports carried today by some sections of the media, following yesterday‟s consideration of the 2011 Estimates of Expenditure by the Committee of Supply under agency 01 – Office of the President- Line Item 1212000 – Information and Communication Technology. It would be recalled that a question was asked about the unit cost of the laptops. I now wish to clarify that the Budget assumes a unit cost of $US295 per laptop and not $G295, 000 as was previously stated, inadvertently. I would further be recalled that I elaborated clearly in this House yesterday that the Budget provides a total of $G1.8 billion for the procurement of laptops and that 27,000 laptops will be obtained this year. Simple arithmetic would confirm that this implies an average cost of just over $60,000 per laptop. Contrary to some media reports, the laptops are being procured in accordance with applicable procedures and rules. I wish to further clarify that 1 the sum of $G2.5 billion of specific financing sourced from China is meant to finance the component of the Information Communications and Technology (ICT) Project which pertains to the construction of wireless and terrestrial networking systems from Moleson Creek to Anna Regina. -

______________________________________________________________________________ Distr. Limited LC/CAR/L.88 31 October 2006 Original: English GUYANA THE IMPACT ON SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS CAUSED BY THE DECEMBER 2005 – FEBRUARY 2006 FLOODING In collaboration with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation and Agriculture (IICA) ___________________ This document has been reproduced without formal editing i PREFACE This report was prepared at the request of the Government of Guyana following the rainfall from December 2005 until February 2006 and the subsequent flooding that affected, in particular, Regions 2 and 5. The implications of the flooding posed the need, beyond the immediate humanitarian response, for a rapid assessment of the damages (impacts of assets) and losses (effects on economic and social flows) to determine at the more general level the implications on macroeconomic and fiscal performance and the social and environmental consequences.1 More specifically, the document examines the effects of the impact for the sustainable livelihood of the affected households and provides possible strategic interventions serving as inputs for the development of programmes and projects to mitigate the impact of flooding on the affected population. The assessment was carried out following the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) disaster assessment methodology as elaborated in the Handbook for Estimating the Socio-economic and Environmental Effects of Disasters (ECLAC, 2004, www.eclac.cl/mexico). The results of the assessment were also interpreted within the context of a sustainable livelihood analysis (SLA) framework. The SLA framework combines the concept of sustainability understood as comprising of four elements (environmental, economic, social and institutional) with that of livelihoods which in turn refer to the capabilities, assets and activities required for a means of living. -

Guyana's Flood Disaster...The National Response
Introduction The natural disaster…and after Torrential rain, a deluge, an inundation of parts of the Coastland, in short - the country’s worst natural disaster, was the experience of Guyanese during the January- February period. The average amount of rainfall in Guyana for the month of January for the past 100 years is 7.3 inches. However, the country witnessed more than seven times that in January 2005 - some 52 inches. From December 24 through January 31 the total amount of rainfall exceeded 60 inches, with one night’s rainfall amounting to seven inches. This resulted in severe flooding and Government declaring Regions Three, Four and Five disaster areas. As the Administration planned its response, President Bharrat Jagdeo immediately called meetings of Cabinet Ministers, Leader of the Opposition Robert Corbin, Joint Service Heads and the City Council. Later he met with representatives of the Guyana Red Cross and members of religious organizations and non-governmental organizations. From these meetings with various stakeholders, committees, including members of the Opposition, were established in charge of water, food, shelter, health care and infrastructure, to assist affected people. Cabinet Ministers were dispatched to affected areas and provided periodic briefs to the Head of State. A committee headed by Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon to coordinate assistance from overseas and the donor community, was also established. A Joint Operation Centre (JOC) was set up at Eve Leary and the relief efforts were coordinated through this entity, while the President’s Residence, State House was used as a resource centre. The worst hit areas were the East Coast of Demerara in Region Four and Canal No. -
