President Dr Irfaan Ali on Wednesday received an update from the Cricket Carnival Planning Committee at State House.

According to information released by the Office of the President, the Head of State was apprised of the overall security plans that will be in place and of the various events.

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson; Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond; Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister, Kwame McCoy; Commissioner of Police (ag), Clifton Hicken and members of the technical team from the respective ministries and the organising committee were present at the meeting.

Guyana will host the final 11 matches of this year’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL), including the highly anticipated semi-finals and final.

The Cricket Carnival will see the merging of carnival activities with the matches from September 16 to October 2, 2022.

The Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Traffic Department has already said it is prepared to deal with all traffic issues that may arise as a result of the explosion of activities.

“We would have implemented many new traffic postures to help address the situation and, for example, persons who are proceeding to the venue on the day, we advise that they use the eastern side of the eastern carriageway on the East Bank of Demerara,” he said.

He advised persons who are proceeding beyond the National Stadium where the carnival events will be held, to reroute to the western side of the eastern carriageway.

“We are also taking into consideration the large amount of persons that will be proceeding over to the West Coast of Demerara…depending on the time, we will have a third lane…”, the Traffic Chief explained.

The Traffic Chief added that there will be paid parking available on the Providence, East Bank Public Road, for those persons that will find it difficult to park during the activities.Once the matches are complete, patrons are being urged to proceed further east and use the Windsor Estate Access Road to head to Georgetown on the Eccles to Mandela four-lane highway.

He further urged people to carpool to help lessen the traffic congestion, while highlighting that aside from traffic ranks, traffic signs and cones will be erected along the road to help people navigate their way to the matches and beyond the stadium.

Brandon King’s classy 89, augmented by a supportive knock from Kennar Lewis, set up a dominant 47-run win for Jamaica Tallawahs against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the first match of the 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL), played at Warner Park in St Kitts & Nevis.

Tallawahs posted 183-2 in their allotted 20 overs, and turned in a collective bowling effort that restricted Patriots to 136-8 in their 20 overs.

In the chase, Patriots had a slow start, losing Evin Lewis, Dewald Brevis and Darren Bravo in the first ten overs. At the halfway stage, the Patriots were 59-3, with Fletcher holding things together and Rutherford finding his groove.

Lewis was first to be dismissed, caught at long leg for four off the bowling of Mohammad Amir, while Brevis was bowled all ends up by Imad Wasim for 14. The out-of-favour Bravo was removed for one, caught at wide third man attempting to slash a delivery for six. Fletcher then eventually succumbed to spaceman Gordon for a 34-ball 31.

Patriots found it difficult to score freely, as Gordon then took a return catch to remove the elder Bravo (13) when the score was at 102-5 in 14.2 overs.

The dangerous Rutherford slammed four sixes in his promising 33 from 22 balls, but he was removed by Gordon with the next ball after the one that caused Bravo’s departure.

The Tallawahs kept the screws on the Patriots, and eventually won the game. Gordon claimed 3-32 while Wasim and Miguel Pretorious each took two wickets.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots had earlier won the toss and had elected to bowl first. West Indies opener Brandon King and his muscular partner Kennar Lewis contributed 116 runs to the Tallawahs’ score in an opening stand that lasted for 14.3 overs. Jaden Carmichael, a 19-year-old left-arm spinner, was the shining light in the middle of destruction from King and Lewis. Carmichael bowled a maiden over, but was struck for a 111-metre six.

Lewis faced 46 balls for his 48 runs, which included six maximums, but he was the first of the Tallawahs to be dismissed, by the same Carmichael. King, continuing his royal rampage at Warner Park, raced to 89 from 57 balls – his second highest CPL total – during which the classy opener struck six maximums and eight fours before he was out chasing a wide one, eventually caught at long-on by Darren Bravo, off the bowling of Dwayne Bravo with the score at 167-2.

Skipper Rovman Powell added the fireworks at the end to take his team to 183-2 in 20 overs. Powell slammed three sixes and a solitary four in his unbeaten 30 from 15 balls. Carmichael ended with 1-22 in three overs, while Bravo had 1-46 from his four overs.

St Lucia Kings will take on TKR from 10am, while Patriots will play Royals at 7pm at Warner Park, St Kitts.

El líder del partido gobernante de Polonia, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, ha anunciado la intención de su país de exigir oficialmente a Alemania reparaciones por la Segunda Guerra Mundial, afirmando que es la “obligación” de Varsovia hacerlo.

Su declaración se produjo poco antes de la publicación de un informe sobre los costes totales de la ocupación por parte de la Alemania nazi, estimados en 1,32 billones de dólares.

El Gobierno polaco sostiene que el país no recibió las debidas indemnizaciones por la guerra, que estalló el 1 de septiembre de 1939 y les costó la vida a 6 millones de polacos, incluidos 3 millones de judíos, así como daños a la industria, infraestructura y cultura del país.

La nueva estimación excede ampliamente la cifra de 850 millones planteada previamente por legisladores a partir de 2019. El partido oficialista Ley y Justicia reiteradamente ha exigido reparaciones desde que llegó al poder en 2015, aunque no había tomado pasos oficiales.

El asunto ha sido un punto de tensión en las relaciones entre Polonia y Alemania.

Cabinet Notes:

The Cabinet invited a Barbados-based firm called INNOTECH to share with its members, its successes in waste management and in detecting leaking water pipes buried beneath the earth.

The firm displayed a video recording showing garbage disposal containers that are on wheels and garbage trucks that had been retrofitted to do the heavy lifting of these containers, so that the sanitation workers do not have to lift rubbish-filled, heavy containers.

The containers each have a barcode/strip that, when scanned, provides the household location and the quantum of waste that the household generates each week. The World Bank data confirm that the wealthier a nation, the more rubbish its citizens and residents are likely to discard.

The firm has also indicated that it has access to the technology that will allow it to detect leaks in the network of pipes that carry potable water to homes and villages.

The technology was employed in Barbados where 1150 points of leak were identified in the water network.

The water authority there tested 60% or more than 600 of those leaks so identified and found the technology to be accurate.

 The APUA Utilities Minister immediately agreed to have that technology deployed, especially in those areas in St. John’s where they are certain that significant leakage is taking place.
