CinemaOne will be opening its doors to its Gemstone theatre at the Gulf City Mall, San Fernando later this month with another making its way to Price Plaza, Chaguanas in the first quarter in 2023. CinemaOne CEO Ingrid Jahra has dubbed this project CineCentral.

“CineCentral will provide a refreshed 26,000 square foot space with newly renovated spacious auditorium including cutting-edge sound and projection technology and extensive concession offerings.”

Speaking at the launch at the Brix Hotel, Autograph Collection, Coblentz Avenue, Cascade, she said the estimated cost for this project is $15 million. She added that renovations are already being done to what was formerly known as MovieTowne and explained that the covid19 pandemic opened many doors for CinemaOne. She said although the pandemic gave people the option of streaming, many still want to be back in the theatres.

“As the pandemic restrictions began to ease in the latter part of 2021, audiences gave a big hint they were ready to come back to our big screen movie theatres. Spiderman No Way Home was released in December 2021 and has garnered a record-breaking US$1.9 billion in box office and that’s just one title.”

She said this trend continued with other big releases in the cinematic universe, but the box office receipts are yet to reflect those of 2019 as it has dropped to US$19.3 billion. Jahra said a key highlight was the month of July which accumulated US$3.37 million, which is the highest within the pandemic era.

“As we continue to expand our CinemaOne brand in major local markets, we could not be more thrilled to share our version of movie-going to the Chaguanas community. The CinemaOne’s entry into the Chaguanas market is its association with Endeavour Holdings Ltd. Both companies are first and second entities to be listed in the small-to-medium enterprise tier of the TT stock exchange and now, are collaborating to ignite movie-going in the rapidly expanding and vibrant city of Chaguanas.”

Kamla: Faris overstepped, polluted the justice system

Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar at a press conference in Port of Spain on Tuesday. – SUREASH CHOLAI

OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Tuesday accused former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi of polluting and contaminating the stream of criminal justice and renewed a call for him to be fired or resign.

The latest call comes after the collapse of criminal charges against former attorney general Anand Ramlogan and ex-UNC senator Gerald Ramdeen, who were accused of collecting kickbacks from Jamaican-born King’s Counsel Vincent Nelson.

The case collapsed after Nelson, who was the main witness, refused to testify against the men until the conclusion of a civil claim for breach of an indemnity by the State. In 2020, Nelson was fined $2.25 million for his role in the alleged kickback scam. He is arguing that his indemnity exempted him from civil and criminal proceedings.

Speaking at a media conference at the Opposition’s Charles Street, Port of Spain office on Tuesday, Persad-Bissessar said Nelson is suing the State for over $100 million for breach of an agreement signed between him and Al-Rawi.

“This could hardly have been authorised by a sole minister. This cannot be just the attorney general on his own going off on a frolic…” She again questioned whether the Cabinet was aware of the indemnity agreement.

She said the indemnity is not only “madness” but Al-Rawi lacked the legal authority to promise such things as it lies solely with the Director of the Public Prosecutions (DPP).

She said if the Cabinet had approved the indemnity deal, “then the government lost all legitimacy and authority to remain in office.”

She questioned whether the Al-Rawi breached the separation of powers between the Government and the legislature. She described the interactions between Al-Rawi and Nelson as a “sweetheart deal” in the former’s “vulgar quest for political prosecution” against the men, both of whom are members of the UNC.

She called on Al-Rawi to disclose when Nelson filed his lawsuit and questioned why it was hidden from the State. She said the lawsuit ought to have been disclosed to Ramlogan, Ramdeen and the DPP given the implications.

Apart from the indemnity, Persad-Bissessar claimed Al-Rawi paid Nelson’s attorneys Roger Kawalsingh, Mr Tom Allen KC and BCL Solicitor close to $9 million while the State was prosecuting him.

She said between 2019 and 2022, while Ramlogan and Ramdeen were before the courts, Kawalsingh received state briefs amounting to some $13 million.

The Opposition Leader questioned the relationship between Kawalsingh and Al-Rawi as she called for the reopening of the investigation into Al-Rawi selling Kawalsingh his Porsche Cayenne in 2016.

She added that in his lawsuit, Nelson claimed that he had text messages and e-mails between him and Al-Rawi after the indemnity was signed, confirming that it will be upheld.

Persad-Bissessar provided a copy of the indemnity, signed in 2017, that promised that it will not be made public, be debated in Parliament or Nelson will be identified.

It also promised against any form of redress, both criminal and civil, by the State will not be pursued.

She said this was not a “get Faris campaign,” adding that she was standing for the people of the country.

“I have no interest to get Faris. Where there is wrongdoing I will expose it. That is my job as leader of the Opposition.”

She called on Al-Rawi to resign or for the Prime Minister to fire him.

PM: Amend law for PSC to make short-term appointments

Black Immigrant Daily News

Erla Christopher –

THE Prime Minister suggested the law be amended to allow the Police Service Commission (PSC) to make short-term acting appointments in the police service. Dr Rowley made this statement before the House passed a motion to approve a notification from President Paula-Mae Weekes to approve a nomination from the commission for ACP Erla Christopher to head the police service while acting commissioner of police (CoP) Mc Donald Jacob goes to the United Kingdom for a week on official duties.

After his term ended in September last year, then CoP Gary Griffith was appointed to act as commissioner by the PSC without Parliament’s green light. While he was on vacation, Griffith was suspended and Jacob appointed to act in his stead.

This triggered legal actions, the most significant being an interpretation claim by social activist Ravi Balgobin Maharaj for the court to declare that Griffith’s appointment to act as commissioner was illegal and unconstitutional. Balgobin argued that the acting appointment did not follow the procedure set out by the Constitution. Justice Nadia Kangaloo agreed and went a step further, to highlight that acting appointments as a DCP or CoP need Parliament’s approval.

Christopher, who is acting as a DCP and was doing so at the time of the court ruling, which was not retroactive, is the highest-ranked officer in the police service after Jacob, who remains the only confirmed DCP.

Rowley promised to discuss this matter with Attorney General Reginald Armour SC and bring the necessary legislation to allow the PSC to make short-term acting appointments in the police service without the involvement of Parliament.

“From a practical standpoint, I think it should be useful for the commission to be able to make a short-term appointment and not having to have the Parliament come out in crisis to appoint somebody for a day or two.”

In response, Oropuche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal said the UNC had no difficulty supporting the motion or with Christopher’s acting appointment as CoP.

“We don’t have a problem with the motion. We have a problem with the mover.”

Moonilal advised the Government to consult with Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on any legislation to allow the PSC to make short-term acting appointments without parliamentary approval.

He agreed with Rowley there were occasions when the CoP had to be outside of TT, acting appointments needed to be made and the Parliament may not be in session.

Moonilal reiterated the UNC’s position that Rowley was to blame for the events between Griffith’s suspension and Jacob’s acting appointment.

Moonilal urged Christopher to be strong and not fall prey to “criminal enterprise at the highest level in the political structure.”

Responding to Moonilal before the House approved the motion, Rowley said Moonilal’s claims about a service commission describing his behaviour towards Griffith as disgusting, were false.

While Government consults with the Opposition on matters of national importance, Rowley said it would not take legal advice from Persad-Bissessar. He claimed such advice in the past from Persad-Bissessar as prime minister had got TT into trouble.

After Speaker Bridgid Annisette-George overruled Pointe-a-Pierre MP David Lee’s argument that Rowley was imputing improper motive against Persad-Bissessar, Rowley asked Lee, “Have you ever heard of Section 34?”

St Augustine MP Khadijah Ameen shouted, “We’ve heard of emailgate.”

Rowley also said Government was awaiting notifications regarding other police officers nominated by the PSC to be appointed to other positions in the service.

He said a notification from the commission for former head of the Professional Standards Bureau Ramnarine Samaroo for appointment as a DCP came to Parliament at a time when it was on its mid-year break and lapse.

Rowley also dismissed Moonilal’s claims that Government does not respect the PSC’s independence

Miss Universe TT Tya Jane Ramey: I struggled with mental health

Miss Universe Trinidad and Tobago Tya Jane Ramey has revealed that she was treated for mental illness for several years as a young girl. She said the love and support of her mother and the members of the community in which she was raised enabled her to gain confidence and self-esteem.

Ramey made the revelation, on Tuesday, while delivering the keynote address at a forum to commemorate the International Day of the Girl Child, at the Bon Accord Canaan Multipurpose Facility.

The event, hosted by Women of Substance, was titled “Speak It Out.”

It addressed domestic abuse and other issues plaguing women and girls.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the observance.

Its theme is Our Time Is Now, Our Rights, Our Future. Ramey, who was born in the US, represented TT in London at Miss World in 2019, where she placed among the top 40 contestants.

Addressing students from several of Tobago’s secondary schools, Ramey, 24, said her confidence did not come easy, primarily because of the challenges she experienced in not having a father in her household.

Saying her father had “lots of children,” Ramey said she grew up with her mother but benefitted from the love and support of the people in her community.

“But what we didn’t talk about is the therapy sessions that I attended to understand what this gap and absence of a father meant.

“What we did not talk about was the way I wanted to see a representation of a male figure at my graduation.

“What they did not talk about was the way I battled with my mental health at a young age and the ways that I had to overcome that step by step, moment by moment and having the support of the people around me.”

Ramey said that despite her father’s absence, she still managed to excel in sports and represented TT in volleyball for about five years.

Ramey, who will represent this country at this Miss Universe pageant in Costa Rica, next year, told the students,

“I am saying all of this to say that your experiences that may not be as favourable can work in your benefit, that you are not defined by those negative experiences. You have the power to change that so that you can become the best version of yourselves.”

Ramey based her interactive discourse on the theme of agency, claiming ownership of one’s life and the consequences and decisions that arise from those choices.

“What I have found after celebrating ten years of the girl child is that you don’t often assume this role of agency. Sometimes we don’t have it.

“But I want to teach Caribbean girls, in particular, because we have a lot more benefits than girls in other parts of the world and I want to teach you how to assume that agency.”

Ramey, a social worker, runs a programme called Intangible Events, which offers young women training in etiquette, public speaking, posture, and personal development among other areas. She said the programme has helped many young women discover their agency. Women of Substance founder and CEO Onika Mars, International Gender Envoy, British High Commission, Alicia Herbert, Director, Youth, Community Development and Sport, THA Ann Marie Degazon and Ryu Dan Dojo Youth Empowerment activist Marva John Logan also spoke.

Le sous-secr?taire am?ricain pour les affaires de l’h?misph?re occidental au D?partement d’Etat, Brian Nichol’s, est attendu ? Port-au-Prince o? il doit rencontrer mercredi et jeudi le gouvernement, des acteurs politiques, des repr?sentants d’associations patronales autour la crise, a appris Le Nouvelliste, mardi 11 octobre 2022.

L’accord Montana/Pen/Greh modifi? doit ?tre repr?sent? ? cette r?union par deux membres du BSA, Magali Comeau Denis et Jacques Ted Saint Dic et par Fritz Alphonse Jean et Steven Beno?t, respectivement pr?sident et premier ministre issus des ?lections organis?es par les signataires de cet accord, a confi? ? Le Nouvelliste M. Beno?t.

AAA l?, via Montana/ Pen/Greh

L’ex-s?nateur Youri Latortue a indiqu? qu’il n’?tait pas personnellement invit? ? rencontrer M. Nichol’s mais <>, l’accord Montana/Pen/Greh.

<>, a aussi indiqu? Youri Latortue.

<>, a-t-il r?pondu, interrog? sur l’appel des 19 pays signataires de la d?claration ? de l’OEA et du secr?taire g?n?ral de l’ONU Antonio Guterres ? un dialogue inter-haitien alors la demande d’aide militaire du gouvernement Henry pour r?soudre la crise s?curitaire soit r?solue.

<>, a indiqu? l’ex-s?nateur Youri Latortue.

Le S?nat invit? ?

<>, a r?pondu le pr?sident du reste du S?nat, Joseph Lambert, interrog? sur l’invitation ou non de s?nateurs ? cette rencontre. <>, a-t-il poursuivi. << Ils souhaitent in limine litis une entente politique entre le gouvernement et l’opposition avant de r?agir sur la demande produite par le PM.

Vous admettez avec moi qu’avec un PM aussi impopulaire, prendre le risque de mobiliser des troupes dans un milieu hostile compromettrait s?rieusement les chances de succ?s d’une telle mission >>, a confi? le pr?sident du reste du S?nat, Joseph Lambert. Non ? toute occupation ou invasion, oui ? l’assistance technique et logistique ? la PNH, a r?sum? Joseph Lambert. <>, a expliqu? Joseph Lambert, soulignant que sa position n’a pas chang? par rapport ? octobre 2021. <>, avait-il d?clar?. <>, avait-il soutenu ? l’?poque, en interview avec Magik 9 (100.9 Fm).

Sanctions aux sponsors des gangs et des troubles

Le Nouvelliste a appris que les sponsors des gangs sont effectivement dans le collimateur de la communaut? internationale. Le dossier Ha?ti doit ?tre discut? au Conseil de s?curit? le 17 octobre prochain. Interrog? ce mardi sur la menace de sanctions brandit par la communaut? internationale contre ceux qui financent les gangs et les troubles en Ha?ti, Joseph Lambert y est all? franco. <>.

Sur cette question de sanctions, le s?nateur Youri Latortue, responsable de AAA, membre de l’accord Montana/ PEN/GREH a estim? que <>. << Mais cela va d?pendre de l’impartialit? de ceux en charge de d?signer les coupables, a nuanc? Youri Latortue. Le faire, en dehors du syst?me judiciaire, peut faire courir le risque d’indexer des pr?sum?s innocents sans <>. Quoique le principe soit digne d’?tre consid?r?. Son bien fond?, a poursuivi le pr?sident de AAA, d?pendra de notre seuil de tol?rance pour le risque de voir les autorit?s manipuler le processus de d?signation des coupables et possiblement commettre des abus >>. << Donc, il faut s’assurer que ces sanctions soient prises avec preuves ? l’appui, sans se transformer en r?glements de compte politique. Car voyez-vous, on est en droit de se demander si l’entit? qui dressera ces listes est vraiment impartiale ? Y-a-t-il un risque d’agenda politique dans la d?signation des pr?sum?s coupables, ou des affili?s aux pr?sum?s coupables?

Pour ne pas se pr?ter au jeu des possibles r?glements de compte, et ?viter tout d?nis de justice, il faut s’assurer que les d?linquants soient identifi?s par des sources impartiales et fiables >>, a longuement expliqu? l’ex-s?nateur Youri Latortue. Le sous-secr?taire am?ricain pour les affaires de l’h?misph?re occidental au d?partement d’Etat am?ricain, Brian Nichol’s, doit rencontrer jeudi des repr?sentants d’associations du secteur priv? des affaires, a confi? une source qui n’est pas entr?e dans les d?tails. Tout le monde constate la d?gradation de la situation s?curitaire et ses cons?quences, a indiqu? cette source.

Le secr?taire g?n?ral, Antonio Guterres, a appel? dimanche les parties prenantes ha?tiennes ? d?passer leurs diff?rences et ? s’engager, sans plus attendre, dans un dialogue pacifique et inclusif sur une voie constructive pour l’avenir. Les Nations Unies sont aux c?t?s du peuple ha?tien et soutiendront les efforts visant ? ?tablir un consensus, ? r?duire la violence et ? promouvoir la stabilit? dans le pays, a indiqu? Stephane Dujarric, porte-parole du secr?taire g?n?ral de l’ONU, <> par la situation en Ha?ti.

Le Secr?taire g?n?ral avait ?galement exhort? la communaut? internationale, y compris les membres du Conseil de s?curit?, ? examiner d’urgence la demande du gouvernement ha?tien concernant le d?ploiement imm?diat d’une force arm?e internationale sp?cialis?e pour faire face ? la crise humanitaire, notamment en assurant la libre circulation de l’eau, du carburant, de la nourriture et des fournitures m?dicales depuis les principaux ports et a?roports jusqu’aux communaut?s et aux ?tablissements de soins. Au plan politique, les 19 pays signataires d’une d?claration sur Ha?ti avaient soulign? que sans un accord politique au terme d’un dialogue inclusif, le r?tablissement de la s?curit? restera un d?fi. <>, selon cette d?claration.

<>, indique cette d?claration.

Jacques Ted Saint Dic a confirm? la tenue de la rencontre avec M. Nichol’s ce mercredi. <>, a soutenu M. Saint-Dic.

Assistance pour la PNH

<>, a-t-il dit.

<< Parall?lement ? cette assistance sur le terrain, nous pr?conisons des mesures de contr?le, d?j? ? l’embarquement, en particulier en Floride d’o? proviennent une majorit? ?crasante des armes et munitions; des sanctions contre les trafiquants ill?gaux d’armes, de munitions et de personnes (incluant le kidnapping qui est aussi un trafic intra-fronti?res des personnes). Ceci est possible en suivant la route de l’argent g?n?r? par ces crimes. <>, comme disent eux-m?mes les Am?ricains >>, a indiqu? M. Saint-Dic

<>.

Pour ce repr?sentant du BSA, << le renforcement de notre institution nationale est le seul moyen de r?soudre le probl?me une fois pour toutes et de mani?re durable. Car il ne s’agit pas, dans la vision de Montana, d’avoir recours ? une force r?pressive. Le renseignement et les moyens technologiques sont indispensables pour ?viter des massacres ou m?me un g?nocide. Les gangs ne portent pas d’uniformes et se fondent parfaitement dans la population de leurs quartiers et m?me au-del?. Combien de morts devrons-nous compter dans cette population anonyme qui est d?j? victime et survit sous la pression des gangs, c?dant parfois ? leurs exigences car n’ayant pas les moyens de fuir? Combien de cadavres et toujours chez les m?mes, ceux des quartiers populaires victimes de massacres et ceux ? venir dans les m?mes quartiers parce qu’ils sont les voisins des gangs? Nous c?toyons les bandits partout, tous ceux en sapates autant que ceux en cravate, dans les restaurants, dans les bars, dans les supermarch?s comme dans les march?s publics, dans les rencontres, dans les salons, partout. Ils ne sont pas ?tiquet?s. Il faut donc un service d’intelligence ad?quat, a longuement expliqu? Jacques Ted Saint-Dic.

Sur l’appel au d?ploiement des forces arm?es ?trang?res sur le territoire, Jacques Ted Saint-Dic est volubile.

<< C’est par cette demande d’assistance, de solidarit? aux partenaires internationaux que nous r?pondons fermement et solennellement NON ? cet appel du gouvernement de facto au d?ploiement de forces arm?es sur l’?tendue du territoire, en quantit? suffisante. Cela s’appelle une occupation du territoire national. NON, pour une premi?re raison ?vidente inscrite dans la D?claration de Principe de l’Accord du 30 ao?t 2021 dit de Montana dont je vous livre un extrait:

<>, a-t-il indiqu?.

<>, a dit Jacques Ted Saint-Dic.

<< Je me contenterai de souligner que l’intervention d’une force arm?e ?trang?re, quelle qu’elle soit, est totalement contre-indiqu?e ? la forme d’ins?curit? qui s?vit actuellement, provoqu?e par les gangs. Comme nous le savons toutes et tous, et comme l’ont dit r?cemment Luis Almagro, Gutierres, Juan Gonzales, les gangs ne sont pas autonomes. Ils sont t?l?guid?s par des hommes politiques et des hommes d’affaires dont, et je cite, <>. Autant de pr?cisions qui indiquent que ces personnes ont ?t? identifi?es. Les cibler tout en bloquant l’arriv?e des armes et des munitions commencerait par calmer certains exc?s et commencerait ? rendre les gangs moins confortables, moins arrogants et plus prudents >>.

Les forces onusiennes sont des forces de maintien de la paix, <> c’est-?-dire efficaces une fois la paix revenue. <>. L’emploi de la force n’est autoris? que si les casques bleus sont eux-m?mes menac?s. Les gangs n’auraient donc qu’? se mettre en sommeil avec leurs mat?riels le temps de la pr?sence de cette mission dissuasive et d’observation <> et seraient r?activ?s au premier jour de leur d?part. La MINUSTAH a s?vi pendant 13 ans et est repartie il y a seulement 5 ans. Inutile de revenir ici sur le chol?ra, les viols, le r?seau de prostitutions d’enfants par le contingent sri-lankais ? Martissant, a-t-il dit.

Gona?ves: un mort et nouvelles sc?nes de pillages ce mardi

Quoiqu’il n’y avait pas encore de manifestation dans la ville, plusieurs dizaines de protestataires la plupart au visage cagoul?, ont fait irruption dans les locaux de l’ancien “Market Ind?pendance” et “Ind?pendance Cin?”, logeant actuellement la Radio Ind?pendance et une partie de l’h?tel Ind?pendance ? la rue Louverture. Les casseurs ont emport? des panneaux solaires, des matelas entre autres et ont mis le feu au rez-de-chauss?e du b?timent. Les policiers ?taient oblig?s d’intervenir ? plusieurs reprises pour ?viter le pire et ont proc?d? ? l’arrestation de plus d’une dizaine de personnes.

Un peu plus tard dans la journ?e, d’autres ont envahi le deuxi?me immeuble des entreprises Ind?pendance abritant l’h?tel Ind?pendance ll. Apr?s plusieurs minutes de pillage, Wilfort Ferdinand et Jerry Bien Aim? ont d? intervenir de leur c?t? afin de restituer certains objets emport?s en disant que ces actes de pillage compromettaient le v?ritable objectif de leur mouvement qui vise ? d?raciner Ariel Henry du pouvoir. Une intervention qui a suscit? la col?re de certains protestataires qui ont enlev? diverses barricades ?rig?es sur l’avenue des Dattes et menacent de boycotter les manifestations. Car, selon des protestataires, les emp?cher de piller les entreprises de ceux qui collaborent avec le pouvoir en place prouve qu’il n’y a rien de s?rieux dans ces mouvements.

Tr?s tard dans l’apr?s-midi, des rafales d’armes automatiques ont ?t? entendues dans le quartier de Descahos faisant un mort. La victime est un jeune homme d’une vingtaine d’ann?es baignant dans son sang apr?s avoir re?u une balle ? la t?te. Selon des t?moins, il n’y avait pas d’affrontements mais des hommes arm?s dans leur joie qui faisaient chanter la poudre.

Aux Gona?ves, nombreux sont les leaders et responsables d’organisations politiques qui appellent le Premier ministre Ariel Henry ? d?missionner. Les responsables des mouvements de protestation, de leur c?t?, entendent resserrer la mobilisation anti-gouvernementale.

Title favourites Mona High booked their spot in the second round of the ISSA/Digicel Manning Cup on Tuesday following their 1-0 win over Wolmer’s Boys, and consolidated the top spot in Zone E with 24 points.

It was Mona’s eighth consecutive win.

Wolmer’s Boys stayed in second on 15 points but will have a real fight on their hands as Hydel High inched to 14 points following their 0-0 draw with Camperdown High, who are fourth on nine points.

Papine High climbed off the bottom of Zone E, beating Kingston High 2-0 and leapfrogged them into fifth on four points. Kingston High are on a point back.

Meanwhile, Kevaughn Wilson scored a three-timer and propelled Jamaica College to a massive 9-0 win over Holy Trinity High in Zone B and booked their spot in the second round of the ISSA/Digicel Manning Cup on Tuesday.
