OBSERVATION

Misrepresentation At International Conferences Is Insulting

Why on earth send the Minister of Education to the AfriCaribbean Conference in Barbados instead of the Antigua Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

Our Prime Minister himself should have availed himself to attend this most important first of its kind AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum, which seeks to bring Africa and the Caribbean closer together, and convened by the African Export Import Bank.

The AU Commission, Africa Business Council, African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, CDB, Caricom and the Caribbean Export Development Agency comprised the heavy weights attending in Barbados.

Did someone in the Prime Minister’s Ministry fail to brief P.M Browne on the importance of the event, and benefits to be gained from the august gathering of African and Caribbean movers and shakers, seeking to build economic and financial bridges cross the pond.

Was the PM so busy engaging his Northern, Middle & Far Eastern investors, that he just could not bother with those black people bonding in South-South investment and trade.

Even if PM was not interested, or busy, he could at least have sent a representative who could contribute to discourse on international trade and finance.

Misrepresentation of our country at such a important and cultural event can only send the wrong message to the gathering, bordering on insult and disinterest in the mission of the conference. Not to berate the intelligence of the attendee, but years of involvement in trade, commerce and finance allows for greater participation, and even in understanding the discourse as the language is often specific, expecting delegates who work in the various fields to understand intricate theories with the applicable abbreviations. Misrepresentation can also be embarrassing for the delegate whose limitations re subject matter could retard interactive contribution.

Where is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade? If he was incapable of attending the AfriCaribbean Conference, clearly a more directly involved representative should have replaced him, even the Junior Minister of Finance who is accustomed to International Fora, having worked at the World Bank, or the Ambassador in the Office of the Prime Minister who also has an international profile and whose work has taken him to Africa.

Antigua must have been a very lame spectator, signing the Agreement and coming home empty handed.

Pakico den empresa priva corupcion y mal maneho ta menos facil?

*Cuanto hende cu hamber por a come cu placa pa investigacion?

*Corupcion ta exigi gastonan enorme den un mundo di problema 

ORANJESTAD(AAN)—Un ola di problema a ataca mundo y asina tambe Aruba, cu ya tabata den problema serio pa e maneho di abuso cu a wordo hiba for di 2009 pa 2017 ora wowo di Pueblo tabata tan cera, cu no por a mira e bofon di e palabranan cu “orguyosamente lo paga e debe nacional”.

Awe cu hunto cu henter mundo Aruba ta den problema social serio despues di Pandemia y ainda den Guera di Ukraine den un mundo insigur, Aruba mester haci su mes e pregunta, cuanto placa e ta gasta na casonan contra politiconan acusa di corupcion.

Con por abusa di Pueblo, kibra ley pa hunga cu sentimento di Pueblo ora ta spart placa, ta bini dilanti den e Rapport Bo Aruba cu aparentemente no por wordo persigui.

Loke si ta pendiente ta e rapport di Refineria di Aruba pa no papia mes di investigacionnan cu ya ta un realidad of a resulta den caso den Corte pa un Pueblo paga.

Cuanto hende por a come cu e placa cu Aruba mester gasta pa asina por a tene e huicio di “Avestruz’? Cuanto tempo Polis mester a traha cuanto hora, pa por a entrega tur prueba cu den un caso asina ta determina si Husticia por wordo haci of no?

Cuanto Recherche, cuanto hende cu mester brinda asistencia na e trabou investigativo di Ministerio Publico, mester wordo paga for di e fondonan cu Aruba tin na su disposicion y cu cual mester duna asistencia na un comunidad cu tanto problema social?

Ora leza rapportnan internacional cu ta adverti pa e situacion mundial, por cera conoci cu e haltura di gastonan di gobernacion den e tempo cu ta conduci na recesion na 2023, cu cada dia ta bini cu mas siguransa.

E situacion financiero cu cual Aruba a wordo confronta na 2017, ta un abuso contra e Pueblo di Aruba pero mas grandi ta e abuso di casonan cu Aruba mester paga pa asina investiga corupcion politico y percura pa tur hende paga pa loke nan a haci contra e Pais y contra e Pueblo di Aruba, cu ta victima directo di mentenan corupto.

Mientras Aruba ta den negociacion cu Hulanda, cu tin Aruba bou supervision despues cu Gobierno Mike Eman a zink Aruba financieramente, Aruba mester paga e gastonan di e Caso den cual Benny Sevinger mester splica kico a pasa cu terenonan di Aruba, cu segun Husticia ta fuentenan di lodo.

Aparentemente no ta parada di Carnaval pero parada politico tin pa sala di Corte di Husticia, cu mester percura pa tanto gasto.

Pa trata un caso politico, mester busca Huez for di otro pais. Ta costa placa pa entre otro estadia y permanencia mescos cu buelo pa Aruba.

Un batayon di hende mester traha overtime pa por atende cu casonan nunca visto na Aruba.

Nomber di Aruba cu ta asina importante den un tempo di recuperacion, ta wordo tira den lodo cada bez cu atrobe tin un caso di politico cu placa di Aruba.

Pakico den sector priva ta menos facil pa abusa di un pais? Simpel. Pasobra e caminda pa tira hende cu horta, cu comete acto di corupcion na empresa priva, ta mucho mas facil cu den e mundo di gobernacion.

Politica demasiado bez ta un inspiracion pa hende cu no kier traha y gana nan placa mescos cu tur otro hende.

Cuanto politico di Aruba cu e cantidad di habitante cu Aruba tin, durante Siglo 21 ya a haya nan mes den problema cu husticia? Ta normal?

Ta normal cu den un situacion cu Pueblo no sa con pone cuminda tur dia riba mesa, Benny Sevinger mester atende cu Husticia pa placa bruto cu lo a circula na forma ilegal?

Ta normal cu Benny Sevinger, ta den Parlamento ta gana cantidad di placa y ta exigi tur informacion cu e kier, mientras Corte di Husticia ta atende cu su persona den un caso tan costoso pa Aruba?

Alan Howell mester aparece den corte di Husticia y awor Marisol mester fungi como testigo. Tin algo di Marisol tambe na caminda segun rumor cu ta circula?

Caso Otmar Oduber ta sigui den actualidad.

Awor kico e Arubiano cu ta traha dia y anochi pa por mantene su mes y su famia mester haci? Kico ta pasa cu su placa?

E mester sigui paga pa un batayon den Ministerio Publico? Of Aruba mester bira un republica di banana caminda tur politico cu ta capaz pa manipula hende, por crece y biba dushi mientras Pueblo ta hoga den problema?

Tur partido, cu ta e vehiculo pa Aruba haya gobernacion, tin e deber pa cera porta pa corupcion y practica control di nan miembronan, cu nan ta entrega puestonan di poder segun e sistema politico di Aruba.

A l’appel de Trop Violans, cette manifestation vient conclure une semaine sanglante en Guyane où 4 meurtres se sont produits.

A mother selecting her house lot number at Friday’s outreach

Some 200 families were allocated house lots in Stewartville and Meten-Meer-Zorg, Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) during an outreach at the West Demerara Secondary School on Friday.

The outreach, which was geared towards addressing housing matters in the region, was led by Minister of Housing and Water, Hon. Collin Croal and a team from the Central Housing and Planning Authority. Regional Chairman, Mr. Ishan Ayube and Vice Chairman, Mr. Omesh Satyanand were also present.

During the outreach allottees were allowed to pull their respective lot number and make an initial payment.

Minister Croal in his remarks acknowledged that the exercise is not sufficient to meet the housing demand in Region Three. However, he noted that in the coming weeks, a massive allocation exercise will be held in the region under the Ministry’s flagship ‘Dream Realised’ Housing Drive.

West Demerara residents at the outreach where 200 house lots were distributed

Region Three has approximately 14,000 pending land applications. In an effort to meet this demand, the Minister said that new lands are being sought after and plans for the construction of some 500 low-income homes are progressing.

Also, approximately $3.4 billion is being expended on infrastructure development at five new housing developments in the region, namely: Cornelia Ida, Anna Catherina, Edinburg, Meten-Meer-Zorg and Stewartville. The works include the installation of water supply networks and the construction of access roads, bridges, culverts and drainage networks.

Minister Croal also underscored several incoming government projects for the region, such as the Schoonord, West Bank Demerara to Crane, West Coast Demerara, four-lane highway, which is being executed under the Ministry of Housing and Water. The proposed highway is expected to run 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometres). It will reduce traffic congestion along the West Bank and West Coast Demerara corridors, while at the same time modernising the country’s infrastructure and creating avenues for housing and commercial development.

The region will also benefit from a new Demerara River bridge, as well as, improvements in the education and health sectors.

Over 300 children have benefited from a project aimed at improving the performance of Tobago school students.

So said adviser to the THA Secretary of Education, Research and Technology Ann Natasha Second as she addressed Friday’s virtual post-Executive Council media briefing at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex.

IMPACT (Inspiring Matriculation through Performance Assessment and Curriculum Transformation) is a long-term performance-enhancement project geared toward improving students’ competencies.

Second said the programme catered to the island’s students who sat the 2022 Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) examination and scored less than 50 per cent. She said approximately 78.7 per cent of the students were eligible, but only 51 per cent of that figure participated.

She said through a collaborative, innovative and creative effort, a curriculum was delivered for four weeks.

“For this phase one cycle, students would have been exposed to literacy, enhancement, mathematics, English language, creative arts.

“They would have also done a number of technical vocational activities – dancing, drumming. We had table-setting. We had teachers among us who had skills like plumbing, and they would have introduced these students to these tasks.”

She said at the end of the session, there was an achievement day activity at each of the 20 centres.

“Of the entire 378 students who participated, all of them would have reported on that day how much of a positive impact this programme had on their life.”

She said the division will close off the first phase with a graduation ceremony.

The next phase will “develop a very professional network.

“For phase two, we are hoping to include teaching at the school to support the current system that we have from members who have been additionally trained or professionally trained to help students who need additional support with both reading and mathematics.”
