Les repr?sentants des principales associations d’affaires et de d?veloppement de Santiago et du Cibao, en R?publique dominicaine, appuient l’appel de leurs homologues ha?tiens, signataires de la note du <>, appelant les protagonistes politiques et ?conomiques <>.

Les hommes d’affaires du Cibao souscrivent ? l’appel au dialogue pour le r?tablissement de la s?curit?, le retour ? l’ordre constitutionnel, via un processus ?lectoral cr?dible et acceptable pour tous et une r?flexion sinc?re sur les r?gles du jeu politique et commercial et Ha?ti. Les chefs d’entreprise dominicains, dans leur prise de position, ont soulign? le sens et l’importance de l’initiative du <>, lequel comprend 20 grandes figures ha?tiennes issues des secteurs les plus importants de la communaut? des affaires. Ces derniers veulent une r?solution de cette dangereuse crise de gouvernance et de s?curit? nationale qui mine la vie, l’?conomie et la paix en Ha?ti et dans les nations voisines.

Les chefs d’entreprise dominicains, membres d’organisations qui regroupent des milliers d’entreprises dans la r?gion du Cibao, exhortent parall?lement la communaut? internationale ? assumer un plus grand leadership dans cette grave crise.

Ces chefs d’entreprises, Miguel Lama, Ricardo Fondeur, Carlos Iglesias, Juan Bautista Ventura, Fernando Capell?n, Sandy Filpo et Augusto Reyes, sont tous pr?sidents des principales associations d’affaires et de d?veloppement qui composent Compromiso Santiago (CS), et disent <> les hommes d’affaires ha?tiens.

Les organisations faisant partie de Compromiso Santiago (CS) sont les suivantes : Asociaci?n de Industriales de la Regi?n Norte (AIREN), la Asociaci?n de Comerciantes e Industriales (ACIS), la C?mara de Comercio y Producci?n de Santiago (CCPS), la Corporaci?n Zona Franca Santiago (CZFS) y la Asociaci?n de Empresas de Zona Franca del Cibao (AEZFC), la Asociaci?n para el Desarrollo (APEDI) y el Consejo para el Desarrollo Estrat?gico de Santiago (CDES).

S’agissant de Fernando Capell?n en particulier, pr?sident du consortium d’entreprises <> et de la soci?t? Compagnie de d?veloppement industriel (CODEVI), ? Ouanaminthe, responsable de plus de 20% des emplois textiles en Ha?ti, un peu plus t?t cette ann?e, avait milit? pour que les ?tats-Unis et Ha?ti s’entendent et d?veloppent un partenariat constructif pour promouvoir une ?conomie durable, ? l’unisson avec la lutte contre la corruption et le renforcement de l’?tat de droit.

Fernando Capell?n avait alors expliqu? ? l’?poque que cette collaboration commerciale qu’il proposait pourrait fournir d’?normes avantages pour l’?conomie am?ricaine soulignant qu’Ha?ti pourrait devenir le cha?non manquant pour les fabricants am?ricains ? la recherche d’une main-d’oeuvre qualifi?e et abondante ? proximit? de leurs march?s.

Des poids lourds du secteur priv? des affaires, en g?n?ral silencieux et des pr?sidents d’associations patronales, <> de la population, dans une note de presse sign?e le 23 ao?t 2022 sous le label de <>, ont lanc? trois appels.

Le premier ? leur pairs en faveur du << respect scrupuleux de leurs responsabilit?s fiscales et l?gales, de l’observance de saines pratiques commerciales, de transparence et de concurrence loyale et ? l’abandon de comportements malsains, pr?judiciables ? la collectivit?”.

Le second aux gourvernants afin de mobiliser les ressources pour la PNH pour soit en “situation morale et mat?rielle de remplir plus efficacement son r?le de maintien de l’ordre et d’?radiquer la gangst?risation croissante du pays, qui affecte la libre circulation des personnes et des biens sur toute l’?tendue du territoire”.

Ils ont aussi lanc? << un troisi?me appel patriotique et pressant aux protagonistes politiques, afin de se transcender en consentant chacun et chacune les sacrifices qui s’imposent pour se mettre d’accord sur une solution ?quitable et transparente ? l’impasse politique actuelle”.

L’heure est grave et exige que les acteurs cessent de remettre sur le tapis des questions qui provoquent les m?mes d?saccords et aboutissent aux m?mes ?checs. Aucune des parties en conflit n’a la l?galit? ni la l?gitimit? requise pour faire pr?valoir sa th?se.

Le pays ne peut plus ?tre pris en otage par des int?r?ts politiques partisans. Il incombe donc ? la classe politique de trouver un consensus autour de deux th?mes fondamentaux : 1) la lutte contre la terreur que s?ment les bandes arm?es et le r?tablissement de la s?curit? des vies et des biens dans le pays; 2) le retour ? l’ordre constitutionnel suite ? la mise en place de structures garantissant un processus ?lectoral cr?dible et acceptable pour tous les partis, dont la condition sine qua non est un terrain nivel? afin que tous les candidats aux postes ?lectifs ? tous les niveaux aient les m?mes chances.

“Les soussign?s estiment n?cessaire qu’une r?flexion sinc?re et objective sur les r?gles du jeu politique soit incluse au menu de cette transition, incluant l’opportunit? de revoir en profondeur certaines dispositions de notre loi-m?re”, peut-on lire dans cette note.

Dawkins notches two-timer to move clearer ahead of Thomas Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Title-chasing jockey Dane Dawkins on Sunday moved seven winners clear of three-time defending champion Anthony Thomas after landing a two-timer on the 10-race card at Caymanas Park.

Among Dawkins’ two-timer was Richard Azan’s POWER RANKING in the six-and-a-half furlong O & S Tack Room Trophy event for non-winners of four races, the second of back-to-back winners for the veteran trainer.

POWER RANKING easily attacked AWESOME RICH and BUZZ CITY LIGHT a half-mile out after 7-5 favourite YELLOWSTONE’S scrappy start from post-position one.

A 3-2 winner, POWER RANKING clocked 1:21.0, turning the tables on YELLOWSTONE, who had beaten him into fourth when finishing second to EMPEROR OF THE CATS on July 9 at five and a half furlongs.

Meanwhile, ARTESIA upstaged even-money favourite THE GOOD WITCH, who had to be taken in hand by Dick Cardenas after suffering traffic problems in the seven-furlong restricted overnight allowance event.

THE GOOD WITCH fell back to 11th in the 16-horse field while Omar Walker made his move with 9-2 chance ARTESIA down the backstretch to run past RAW LIQUID early in the straight, posting a quick 1:26.1 for the trip.

Dawkins had earlier opened the card with ONE LIKE IT, beating three-year-old maidens at five furlongs round.

Thomas’ lone winner was 4-5 favourite CHRISANLI at five and a half furlongs in a $250,000 claiming event.

Racing continues on Saturday.

Potential Excessive Heat Event for Antigua and Barbuda

Excessive Heat Outlook

Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services 5:45 PM Sunday 28 August 2022

…Potential Excessive Heat Event for Antigua and Barbuda 9 am to 4:30 pm Wednesday to Friday…

During the latter half of the week, the winds will likely drop to light speeds.

This will likely allow for the combination of heat and humidity to cause the heat index or feels-like temperature threat level to rise to, at least, moderate.

An excessive heat outlook is issued when the potential exists for an excessive heat event – a heat index of 38 C (100) or higher and the mean wind speed is usually 18 km/h (11 mph) or less, in the next 3-7 days.

In this case, the heat index has the potential to rise to more than 41 °C (106 °F), in some areas.

An excessive heat watch or warning may eventually be required.

This level of heat puts everyone at risk for heat illnesses; however, the risks are greatest for the elderly, young children, people with chronic illnesses such as breathing difficulties, heart conditions or psychiatric illnesses, people who work or who exercise in the heat, homeless people and low-income earners.

This excess heat outlook will be updated with the latest information throughout the upcoming days.

Stay tuned to updates coming out of the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service via antiguamet.com, twitter.com/abmetservice and facebook.com/abmetservice.

INSET: Dead motorcyclist Aubrey Sears and the car which he collided with

A motorcyclist was killed earlier this evening after colliding with a car along the Berbice River Bridge Access Road, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).

The dead man has been identified as Aubrey Sears of No.9 Village, West Coast Berbice (WCB).

Reports are that the motor car bearing registration number PPP 2020 was heading east while the motorcyclist was proceeding in the opposite direction.

This publication understands that the motorcyclist was looking backwards while riding and rode into the car. After the collision, he reportedly fell onto the roadway where he sustained injuries.

The injured man was picked up and taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Last year March, a couple lost their lives following an accident which also occurred on the Berbice River Bridge Access Road. Speeding was said to have been the cause of that accident as the driver lost control and collided with a concrete culvert and ended up in a nearby trench.

Samuda blasts critics of Gov’t’s frequent ribbon-cutting ceremonies… Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation (MEGJC), Senator Matthew Samuda, has hit back strongly at critics who have made snide remarks about the frequent cutting of ribbons at ceremonies by the Government.

There has been much criticisms, especially from supporters of the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP), that such ceremonies, including the presentation of houses under the New Social Housing Programme (NSHP), are being used by Prime Minister Andrew Holness and his Administration as a distraction from the state of the nation’s economy.

However, Holness has used such handing-over ceremonies to lash such critics by pointing to the economic growth the island is experiencing even amid inflation and rising food and energy prices both locally and internationally.

In commenting on the criticisms at the commissioning of a water supply project in Negril, Westmoreland on Thursday, Samuda argued that a ribbon-cutting is symbolic of the completion of a multi-million dollar investment made by the Government or any other investor.

“This is yet another ceremony that has almost been religiously scheduled on a Thursday as our project and… we have called it ‘Turn on the Pipe Thursdays’, but generally, we have been on the road every single Thursday commissioning water systems,” he explained.

“Now that speaks to the amount of work that has gone into creating the volume of systems and to building the amount of new pumping stations and connecting and replacing old pipes, to have several Thursdays of work to do,” the minister continued.

“I have heard a recent criticism in the press which I found very strange. I’ve followed politics all my life through the news, and I’ve never heard in all my life someone being criticised for cutting ribbons,” Samuda lamented.

He described the criticisms as being “very strange”, as the process to bring such developments as the water system project to a reality in Westmoreland started in 2004.

“A ribbon is a representation of the closure or the completion of thousands of man hours. In many cases, hundreds of millions and sometimes billions of dollars in investment,” he shared.

Samuda, in responding directly critics of the Government’s efforts, said more ribbon-cutting ceremonies are on the horizon.

“So, when a Government is cutting ribbons, is breaking ground, commissioning projects, it is because that Government is working hard!

“So, I can’t understand where this criticisms could come from for cutting ribbons. I want to put on record this afternoon that we will be cutting a lot more ribbons,” he assured.

The minister also promised further ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects in the Western Westmoreland constituency where the Jamaica Labour Party’s Moreland Wilson is the Member of Parliament (MP).

“… And MP you have my commitment that while I have my hands on the baton, you can expect more ground-breaking, more ribbon cuttings, and more commissioning within your constituency,” declared Samuda.

Holness takes aim at squatters Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Prime Minister Andrew Holness is warning that his Government will not stand by and allow crime and squatting to derail its plans to construct 70,000 houses across the country over the coming years.

Holness is also contending that squatters can no longer be allowed to gain access and build illegally on public property.

The planned construction of 70,000 houses was one of the Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) key campaign promises heading into the 2020 General Elections.

Speaking at the handing-over ceremony of 60 keys to new homeowners at Catherine Estates in Spanish Town, St Catherine on Friday, Holness said while he understands the need for more housing developments in Jamaica, it was not right for squatting to take place.

“There are some persons who no matter how many houses you put up, they believe in going and taking over private land or public land and say it is theirs, and there are some who are audacious to say they don’t own the land, they don’t have any title for the land, but yet they selling the land,” he said.

Further, he said there are some persons who even demand that the Government build roads to get to the illegally acquired lands.

“They want the Government to put water there, and Government didn’t even know about it (the illegally acquired land), and they want title after spending all this money building on the land. It’s a real challenge,” shared Holness.

To further explain the extent to which squatters will go, the prime minister pointed to satellite survey which showed one community in St Catherine where squatting is prevalent.

“… When we did the satellite survey, we see some massive structures going up; 50 times the size of what is here (in Catherine Estates). None of those people have titles for the land!

“I’m being very clear when I say, ‘We will not allow you to capture and take the public property!’” warned Holness.

Meanwhile, Holness said more Jamaicans are prioritising, and he is proud to be delivering homes across the country.

In noting that the demand outstrips the homes that are currently available locally, he said this situation “has only served to fuel our resolve to ensure that more Jamaicans can turn their own keys”.

The prime minister pointed to the Catherine Estate development in Spanish Town as one of the largest housing developments in St Catherine since Greater Portmore.

“It is expected to deliver over 1,600 affordable units for young, first-time homeowners upon completion,” stated Holness.
