Central Bank warns locals to beware of counterfeit notes Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

With Crop Over and other public events making a return this summer, the Central Bank of Barbados is encouraging Barbadians to be vigilant when making cash transactions and to check their money as soon as they receive it.

“The level of counterfeiting in Barbados is generally quite low, and has been even more so over the past two years,” revealed Octavia Gibson, Director of the Bank’s Currency and Payments Oversight Department.

“But we don’t want people to become complacent. With the country opening back up and many mass activities on the calendar, there will be an increase in commercial activity, and it is at these times that we also tend to see an increase in counterfeiting.”

Gibson went on to say that “counterfeiters know that businesses are busy, people are in a hurry, and during Crop Over in particular, many of the events take place at night. So, they try to take advantage of your distraction or of poor lighting to pass you a counterfeit.”

The Central Bank official urged Barbadians to take steps to protect themselves. “Learn three or four security features and use them to authenticate your notes as soon as you receive them. Not after you get home – as soon as you receive them. It doesn’t take a long time. If it’s dark, use the flashlight on your smartphone. We have lots of information on our website and we post tips on social media regularly so you can easily find out what to look for.”

The Central Bank of Barbados has announced that it will issue a new series of banknotes that will be harder for fraudsters to replicate but easier for people to authenticate. Those notes will go into circulation on December 5.

But Gibson assured the public that the current notes contain several security features that are effective. “The key is to check your money. Counterfeiters are hoping that you won’t. They are opportunists. Don’t give them the opportunity.”

Back-to-school support for lowest paid public sector workers Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Public sector workers, who earn salaries at the lowest levels, will receive support for back-to-school expenses from the Government.

This was announced by the Minister of Finance and the Public Service, Dr Nigel Clarke, at a recent virtual press conference.

“We are working to ensure that we will have in place, a programme that persons who earn at the lowest levels in the public service can be assisted with back-to-school support in the same way we’re assisting non-Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH) students with support,” he said.

Dr Clarke noted that this support, which will target persons earning $600,000 or less per annum, is being offered ahead of the completion of the public sector compensation review.

“The new compensation…is unlikely to be in place prior to those back-to-school expenses, which we know will be elevated given global inflationary pressures,” he said.

The Minister said he will provide further details about the intervention shortly.

In the meantime, Dr Clarke said the discussions with unions, bargaining groups, and professional associations regarding the public sector restructuring “has been going well.”

“We have completed first-round consultations with all public sector unions and bargaining groups, and we are progressing with second-round consultations,” he said, noting that more updates will be provided at a later date.

The public sector compensation review is intended to overhaul the structure of salaries and other emoluments in the public service to make it more equitable.

This exercise will simplify the current complicated 325 salary scales and eliminate most of the 185 allowances.

The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) has moved swiftly to condemn the reported racial abuse on social media of Reggae Girl Trudi Carter, following Jamaica’s 4-0 drubbing of Haiti on Monday in the Concacaf Women’s Championship.

In a statement on Wednesday, the JFF stated that Carter suffered the abuse on Instagram following the match.

“The Jamaica Football Federation would like to reiterate in no uncertain manner that there is no place for racism, discrimination or abuse within or outside the game of football,” JFF said.

“We are incensed that national player Trudi Carter was the subject of racial abuse on Instagram, after she played so well to ensure that Jamaica qualified for successive Women’s World Cups,” the statement added.

The JFF said it “stands in full support of our players and will do all possible to ensure their protection and well-being”.

The Federation said Concacaf is aware of the reported abuse of Carter who had an outstanding game for the Reggae Girlz. She scored the opening goal in the 26th minute before serving up a brilliant cross that was headed home by Drew Spence in the 79th minute.

Captain Khadija Shaw scored a brace in the 50th and 70th minutes.

The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will take place in Australia and New Zealand.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Thursday blamed inadequate police security for the death of former leader Shinzo Abe.

Abe was shot while giving an outdoor campaign speech on Friday, July 8.

Abe, one of Japan’s most influential politicians, was assassinated in western Japan, shocking a nation known for its low crime rate.

Photos and videos of the shooting show the gunman was able to come close to Abe.

A suspect was arrested on the spot and is being detained for questioning.

Police and media reports say he told investigators that a rumoured link between Abe and a religious group the suspect hated was the reason he killed the former prime minister.

LUMA no es 100% eficiente pero va en camino, dice Secretaria de la Gobernación

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

La secretaria de la Gobernación, Noelia García, expresó el jueves en RADIO ISLA que aunque LUMA Energy no es eficiente al 100 por ciento, va en camino. 

“El mantenimiento se está dando”, afirmó García sobre la eficacia y desempeño de la compañía energética. “¿Sigue respirándole en el cuello?”, preguntamos. “No se me va a acabar el aire”, responde la funcionaria aludiendo a expresiones del representante independiente Luis Raúl Torres. 

Según Torres, ya se le acabó la respiración con relación a varios asuntos relacionados a la administración, particularmente el desempeño de LUMA Energy. 

La empresa energética se ha enfrentado a críticas en los pasados meses, particularmente luego de la explosión de dos subestaciones en Jayuya y Santa Isabel en menos de un día. 

Una explosión en una subestación de Jayuya fue reportada el martes a eso de las 5:50 de la mañana, causando que más de 6,000 clientes se quedaran sin servicio de energía eléctrica. De la misma forma, a eso de las ocho de la noche del mismo martes, se reportó otra explosión en otra subestación en el municipio de Santa Isabel, que también dejó aproximadamente a 6,000 clientes sin luz.
