JC Hutchinson (inset) says the bypass would provide a greater opportunity for more locals and tourists to enjoy Bamboo Avenue in St Elizabeth.

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

Member of Parliament for St Elizabeth North Western, the Jamaica Labour Party’s JC Hutchinson is proposing that a bypass road be built for the world famous Holland Bamboo, which he said would boost tourism activity in the area.

Hutchinson made his proposal known during his recent contribution to the 2022/23 State of the Constituency Debate in the House of Representatives.

He pointed out that extensive work was currently underway to rehabilitate and re-establish bamboo plants in the popular Holland Bamboo Avenue but expressed concerns about the continued destruction of the plants.

“The emission of fumes from vehicles plying the route is one of the main causes for the destruction of some of the bamboo. I am requesting that an overhead bypass be constructed, starting at the entrance of Bamboo Avenue from the Lacovia end and extending across the Holland property to end a little beyond Middle Quarters,” Hutchinson told the House.

He also mentioned several projects that his constituency is proposing to be implemented, which he said would “greatly improve the lives of the constituents, and by extension positively impact the development of our national economy”.

Hutchinson said the bypass road would also provide a greater opportunity for more locals and tourists to enjoy Bamboo Avenue.

“This would mean greater economic activity for the locale and parish if the heritage site is developed and fully functional as a tourist attraction. The Holland Bamboo Avenue is recognised worldwide as one of the most pictured and picturesque natural attractions,” Hutchinson stated.

‘I’m not built for Guyanese prison’ – B&E accused

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: INews Guyana

A Canada-based Guyanese, who is accused of breaking into a home and stealing several household appliances, was remanded to prison on Monday.

Kurt Savoury, 56, who resides locally at Mango Lane, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was arraigned before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus.

It is alleged that between July 31 and August 5, at Mango Lane, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he broke into the dwelling house of Handel Legion, and stole a vacuum cleaner, electric iron, fan, microwave, and other items totalling $614,000.

An unrepresented Savoury pleaded not guilty to the charge and begged the Magistrate to release him on self-bail, telling her to “hold” his passport. “I will kill myself; remand is not for me, I’m not built for Guyanese prison,” he begged.

According to Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh, Savoury, who was arrested in August, led Police ranks to a location where some of the stolen articles were recovered.

Following Savoury’s arrest, the prosecutor told the court that the man was released on self-bail and ordered to report to the Police Station but never did.

However, he was arrested again on September 15, in relation to an armed robbery which is still under probe. In light of this, Prosecutor Singh made serious objections to the defendant being granted bail, citing that he poses a risk of flight since the Police received a “tip off” that he was in the process of fleeing the country.

Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus upheld the prosecutor’s objections and remanded Savoury to prison. The case will continue on September 26.

Sin acceso a carreteras pacientes que reciben diálisis en Cabo Rojo

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

El alcalde de Cabo Rojo, Jorge Morales Wiscovitch, lamentó las complicaciones que dejó el paso del huracán Fiona por su municipio, las cuales aún hoy, martes, luego del rescate de comunidades, sigue teniendo impacto en pacientes que reciben tratamiento de diálisis, por ejemplo.

Aparte de los daños en vegetación y postes, Morales Wiscovith informó que en la carretera Bajura, en colindancia con Mayagüez, un motel de la zona quedó bajo agua, por lo cual las autoridades de la Guardia Nacional diligenciaron un rescate de un número indefinido de personas en el techo del edificio. No obstante, aún no han logrado llegar a las zonas rurales para sacar personas que, inclusive, son pacientes de diálisis. Precisamente ayer, lunes, solo llegaron 32 de las 90 personas que se dializan.

Informó que, junto a personal y equipo de voluntariado, quienes llevan trabajando desde la madrugada, intentaron pasar entre hoy y mañana “a los caminos rurales para poder sacar la gente […] En estos sitios tenemos problemas de personas, por ejemplo, que se dan diálisis, que no han podido salir. Hablando con uno de los doctores que están a cargo de los centros de diálisis, ayer llegaron solamente 32 de 90 turnos, y todos los que llegaron fueron por ellos mismos. O sea, que no se están moviendo con la transportación”, reclamó el funcionario al alertar sobre las muertes que ocurrieron en el huracán María por dicha situación.

Por otra parte, a cinco años del mencionado evento, reiteró que Fiona ha sido más fuerte.

“Mucho más fuerte. Mucho más fuerte. Tal vez en María se cayeron un poco más de postes de luz, pero aquí se cayeron más o menos similar. El agua en María no fue ni la mitad de lo que estamos viendo en estos momentos en Cabo Rojo”, expresó Morales Wiscovitch.

Por último, el alcalde informó que esperan que tras una limpieza, las personas puedan transitar por la carretera principal de Joyudas. No obstante, ya se puede pasar por las carreteras Monte Grande, Guaniquilla (PR-307), Puerto Real y la PR-100.

“Anoche continuó la lluvia y con truenos tremendos. Estamos [con] mucha preocupación. Hay muchas áreas afectadas. Y luego del paso del huracán, a las 11 de la noche, estuve en una comunidad que se inunda visitándola, en la cancha de baloncesto. Estaba todo en perfecto orden. Luego de las lluvias de la madrugada, usted va a la misma cancha y tiene de 12 a 14 pies de agua, tapada la cancha completamente. Eso es en el barrio Cerrillos de Cabo Rojo. Tenemos hoy un trabajo difícil que la Guardia Nacional nos va a colaborar para sacar varias personas que están encerradas allí”, finalizó el primer ejecutivo municipal.

Seizure reportedly the country’s largest bust ever

Nigeria’s anti-drug agency seized a record 1.8 tons of cocaine valued at US$278 million at a Lagos warehouse in what it described Monday as likely the country’s largest bust ever.

Five people – the warehouse manager and four “drug barons” including one profiled as a Jamaican – were arrested in connection with the drugs, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said.

It said the suspects were members of an international drug syndicate the agency has been trailing since 2018.

The agency said the drugs were found in a secluded estate in the Ikorodu area of Lagos on Sunday at a time when “the cartel was trying to sell them to buyers in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world”.

The drugs were stored in 10 travel bags and 13 drums, the agency said in a statement published along with photos of the suspects and the drugs.

The agency said the arrests and seizure were “a historical blow to the drug cartels and a strong warning that they’ll all go down if they fail to realise that the game has changed.”

Drug seizures have been rising in West Africa in the last year, indicating that traffickers have made the continent a hub to move their illegal products between South America and Europe.
