Bartica, a small mining township along the Essequibo River in Region Seven, has long been considered a PNC/APNU stronghold. For decades, the PNC, which is the majority partner in the APNU, maintained a dominant presence in the area. However, in the 2023 local government elections, the PPP/C made significant inroads, capturing the chairmanship after a very close contest that left both parties tied in council seats.

The numbers highlight this shift. In 2023, the PPP/C increased its votes in Bartica to 1,784, up from 1,145 in 2018, while APNU’s votes declined from a combined 1,867 (with AFC) in 2018 to 1,601 on its own in 2023. Similar trends were observed in the wider Region Seven during the 2020 general elections, where APNU secured 4,813 votes to PPP’s 3,728.

With the September 1, 2025 general and regional elections approaching, APNU has unveiled Bartica’s own Juretha Fernandes as their prime ministerial candidate.

Fernandes, who brings strong ties to the area and experience in finance, has been clear about her priorities.

At Saturday’s rally, the launch of the APNU’s campaign in Region Seven, she outlined plans to improve the quality of life for Bartica’s residents and to ensure development reaches all corners of the community.

Her solutions include increased social support, improved pension benefits, cost-of-living assistance, affordable housing, support for small businesses and empowerment of Indigenous communities.

While acknowledging the efforts made by various administrations, Fernandes stresses the need for sustained and inclusive development, ensuring that no one is left behind.

The upcoming elections will test whether Fernandes and APNU can rebuild momentum in Bartica and Region Seven.

With her deep roots in the community and a platform centred on practical support and development, Fernandes is positioning herself as a candidate who understands the challenges of her hometown.

Whether in government or opposition, APNU’s Prime Ministerial Candidate Juretha Fernandes has named her picks for several key positions following the September 01, 2025 elections.

Speaking at the party’s campaign launch in her hometown of Bartica on Saturday night, Fernandes urged supporters to think carefully about the leadership team behind the slate they vote for.

“When you think about voting for people, you have to look at their slate, and you have to be able to identify who their Attorney General could be,” she told those gathered at the popular Futu Square.

“I don’t know about other people, but I saw a guy there named Dexter Todd,” Fernandes hastened to add.

She went on to identify former senior police officer Paul Williams as a potential Minister of Home Affairs or Public Security, saying: “Then you gotta think about who our Home Affairs Minister of Public Security would be, if we want to change it back, who that person would be. I don’t know about y’all, but I saw Paul Williams there.”

Fernandes also proposed Nima Flue-Bess as a possible leader for the sport portfolio. “We have got to design things when it comes to sports. Nima has been there on the ground. She’s from Mocha.”

Flue-Bess served as the shadow Culture, Youth and Sport Minister during the last Parliament while Todd, a lawyer, and Williams are newcomers to the political scene.

Fernandes’ remarks form part of APNU’s early pitch to voters in Bartica, a key battleground where the party has historically enjoyed strong support but faces competition.

A family residing at Lot 67 Durban Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown, is seeking help after being constantly harassed. Nalini Rampersaud, who lives with her daughter at Durban Street, also complained of being robbed recently.

Over the past few days, the family has grown increasingly worried about perpetrators coming to their Durban Street premises.

Three men, whose faces were covered, were at Rampersaud’s house early Thursday morning. They reportedly broke the lock on her gate, came inside the yard, and locked Rampersaud and her daughter inside their house. The three men then stole motorcycle parts from one of Rampersaud’s two motorcycles parked in the yard.

The family managed to leave their house eventually. Rampersaud said a report was made at the Alberttown Police Station later that morning. Officers visited the premises on Friday and told Rampersaud that investigators would follow up with her.

Early Saturday morning, however, an unknown man went to the premises and attempted to break the new lock Rampersaud put on the gate. Rampersaud said an alarm installed around the premises went off and seemingly scared the man away. However, two men returned shortly after and broke the lock on the gate. Nothing was stolen this time.

Saturday’s incident was reported to the Police.

Rampersaud said these instances aren’t the first time the family had to deal with harassment. In February this year, a man climbed onto their fence and attempted to jump into the yard.

“I am pleading with Police to come and do an investigation and help us feel safe again in our home, and catch the criminals before they break in again,” Rampersaid told the News Room.

Justin Smith, the 16-year-old resident of No. 47 Village, Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) died after colliding with a row plough, according to information provided by Regional Police Commander Shivpersaud Bacchus.

It was initially believed that the teenager died from chop wounds after he was attacked by a group of men. However, Mr. Bacchus related that further investigations and a post-mortem examination point to Justin dying due to a collision with a row plough.

The fatal incident reportedly took place on July 13, 2025, at No. 43 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.

The News Room was told that Mukesh Edwards, 23, along with Hemesh Harrinarine (known as Andy) and Alim Haripersaud, were reportedly consuming alcohol when Justin approached on his motorcycle earlier that evening. He reportedly made some gesture at the group.

It is believed that Justin crashed into the row plough nearby not long after.

Harrinarine confirmed his presence at the scene, acknowledged hearing the crash, and observed Justin’s motorcycle collide with a plough on the northern parapet. However, when questioned by investigators, he denied making any aggressive gestures at Justin. He claimed he left to seek help and returned to find others already assisting.

At about 20:00 hrs, it was noted that tensions escalated between Edwards and Harrinarine when they confronted each other regarding the events leading up to the crash. Edwards reiterated his account, while Harrinarine maintained he did not act aggressively.

Following the crash, multiple witnesses reportedly provided statements that indicated Justin had been consuming alcoholic beverages at a Chinese supermarket in No. 47 Village before leaving alone on his motorcycle.

Based on the information provided by Commander Bacchus, CCTV footage shows Justin speeding as he attempted to overtake another vehicle before veering off course and crashing into the southern grass parapet where the red row plow was stationed.

The row plough had several scratches, fabric remnants, sponge (from the motorcycle seat), leather, and a black wristband.

And as a result of the collision, Justin sustained serious injuries to his back, head, and other areas of his body.

He was discovered in critical condition in front of a chicken outlet at Number 46 Village, and subsequently transported to Port Mourant Public Hospital. He tragically succumbed to his injuries while being transferred to New Amsterdam Public Hospital for further medical attention.

A post-mortem examination conducted on July 17 confirmed that Justin died from shock and hemorrhage caused by multiple injuries consistent with a vehicular accident.

An investigative file was compiled and submitted for legal consultation. On Friday, July 18, 2025, the file returned, prompting an inquest into the circumstances surrounding Justin Smith’s death.

The government has decided to remove the taxes on All-Terrain Vehicles and boat engines for additional categories of use, President Dr. Irfaan Ali announced on Saturday.

President Ali acknowledged the high cost of transportation in hinterland regions. Because of this high cost, a decision was made to remove the taxes beyond the categories already benefiting from the tax cuts.

“We are not deaf to your concerns. The future is very exciting for the next five years,” President Ali told residents attending a public meeting in Region One (Barima-Waini) on Saturday.

Taxes will be removed on ATVs purchased for travel in hinterland areas. Previously, tax exemptions applied only to ATVs used for mining, forestry, and agriculture. Additionally, hinterland residents will no longer be required to pay taxes on the purchase of 40-horsepower boat engines used for transportation.

Additionally, President Ali said investments will be made to slash the cost of air, river and land transport. Airfare, in particular, has been a sore concern for many hinterland residents.

President Dr Irfaan Ali on Saturday pledged that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) government will create another 1,000 jobs in Region One (Barima- Waini).

The Guyanese Head of State also pledged that the salaries of Community Service Officers (CSOs) will be increased and educational opportunities will be available to them so they can elevate themselves.

The President made these announcements at a public meeting in Moruca on Saturday.

President Ali opened up his address at this engagement focusing on the investments made by the government over the past five years for the country’s young population. He then focused on the development of Guyana’s Indigenous People and how the government is empowering this group.

According to him, about 60 per cent of the persons in professions such as nursing and patient care are from the hinterland communities.

“This is because of investments.

“We are going to give you more every single year,” President Ali said.

To prepare Guyanese children for the future, Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips has assured residents that the school cash grant will increase every year.

“We going to give you money every year. And every year we are going to raise the money,” PM Phillips told a massive crowd of supporters at a PPP/C public meeting in Moruca.

This year, the Government provided a $50,000 ‘Because We Care’ cash grant to every child attending school. This was accompanied by a $5,000 school uniform grant.

The monies, Brigadier (ret’d) Phillips said, will help children get the basic necessities to attend schools. Also, he reminded the gathering that the government has been providing free text books to children.

PM Phillips also assured residents that the government, once re-elected come September 1, 2025, will ensure that children have access to a modern education.

He declared that 2025-2030 is the second phase of development for the Irfaan Ali led administration.

“We had COVID, we had floods but yet we listened to the people. We deliver on the things the people asked us for,” Brigadier (rRet’d) Phillips said.

He also highlighted that the PPP government will continue to fund development in the Region so that Moruca can benefit from development and transformation.

The 20-year-old woman seen being sexually assaulted in a viral video at a bar in full view of patrons has told the Police that she was drugged and r***d.

The incident that occurred at Raghoo’s Sports Bar in Soesdyke has sparked public outrage, prompting an investigation. The bar has since been shut down by authorities.

Police Headquarters, in a statement, said the young woman reported the incident to police around 20:20 hrs on Friday.

Police said the victim said she was assaulted at the bar while bystanders watched and filmed rather than intervene.

“The 20-year-old was interviewed by ranks and alleged that she was drugged and r***d by three males at Raghoo’s Sports Bar located at Soesdyke,” Police said in a statement.

The footage quickly spread online, drawing condemnation from both the public and government officials.

Police have since arrested the bartender and several persons of interest. Efforts are underway to locate and question additional suspects and witnesses seen in the footage.

Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, condemned the attack in a statement, calling it “most reprehensible” and criticizing the inaction of those who recorded the assault instead of helping. The Ministry of Home Affairs has also launched an urgent probe into what it described as a “matter of grave concern.” Officials warned that continued sharing of the video may further violate the victim’s privacy and interfere with the ongoing investigation.

The Guyana Police Force said the investigation is ongoing.

Jermaine Figueira has endorsed President Dr. Irfaan Ali and says he will be actively involved in the unfolding re-election campaign ahead of the September 1, 2025, General and Regional Elections.

“There’s no leader in this country who hasn’t erred, and President Irfaan Ali is no exception, but I believe that his leadership far outweighs his imperfections,” Figueira said during an episode of the Starting Point podcast aired on Saturday.

The politician also opined that President Ali is keen on uniting Guyana and doing what’s best for the country. So for these reasons and more, he is happy to now back President Ali for a second term in office.

However, Figueira’s revelation was not just an endorsement.

He made it clear: “My endorsement of him goes beyond rhetoric. I’m going to actively involve myself in his re-election campaign.”

A few weeks ago, Figueira resigned from the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR). After his resignation, he accused the party of losing its moral compass, drifting into ethnic politics, and failing the country in a time of national crisis.

The air is thick with anticipation as the East Coast/Georgetown zone braces for a weekend of electrifying tapeball cricket in the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast.

What begins as a sprawling battlefield of 32 teams will culminate in a Sunday showdown, leaving just one champion standing after an intense series of contests.

A staggering 31 matches is slated over the course of Saturday and Sunday, with Saturday’s action unfolding across seven different grounds: Malteenoes Sports Club, Georgetown Cricket Club, Better Hope Community Centre, Lusignan Sports Club, Everest Cricket Club, YMCA, and the National Stadium at Providence.

The grand finale will then shift to the Lusignan Sports Club on Sunday, with the battle for supremacy commencing at 10:30h.

All eyes will be on the defending national champions, Titans All-Stars, a side boasting a formidable lineup spearheaded by the experienced Leon Johnson. He will have a wealth of talent, including Christopher Barnwell, Keemo Paul, Kemol Savory, and Quentin Sampson – names synonymous with Guyanese cricket.

However, Team Corruption has thrown down the gauntlet with some eye-catching acquisitions. Their roster now features a quartet of Trinidadian stars: Jesse Bootan, Djourn Charles, Joshua James, and Terrence Hinds. This signals their intent to go beyond their 2023 semi-final finish.

Yet, the path to glory is paved with challenges, and the Village Rams, under the guidance of seasoned tapeball campaigner and former national youth player Omesh Danram, are certainly among the top contenders. They will be banking on a blend of Danram’s experience and the exuberance of some of Guyana’s most promising young cricketers.

A closer look at the remaining teams, many representing local communities, reveals a treasure trove of cricketing talent. National players like Rajendra Chandrika and Tagenarine Chanderpaul are set to feature, alongside a host of talented junior players eager to make their mark. Keep an eye out too for Brooklyn Youth Strikers, a team with a reputation built on their performances in 2024, and the always unpredictable Pure Entertainers.

The East Coast will have its hopes pinned on teams such as Lusignan, Better Hope, Young Rivals, and Dream 11, each capable of springing a surprise. But with such a wealth of talent spread across the board, predicting the zone champion at this stage feels like an exercise in futility – it’s simply too close to call.

The complete list of participating teams reads: Mighty Tarmac Legends, Vipers All-Stars, The Other Guys, Tropix Essentials, Up Tap XI, Team Eastsyde, Hill Foot Strikers, Team Corruption, Mystic Marvels, Pure Entertainers, Mavericks All-Stars, East-West Matadors, Supernovas, Titans All-Stars, Kings, Beharry Champion XI, Better Hope All-Stars, Giftland Titans, No Limit, Team AVP, Lusignan Sports Club, Royal Raptors, Housing & Water One Guyana, Team Upsetterz, Village Rams, Powertech, Dream 11 All-Stars, Raps Blazers, Brooklyn Youth Strikers, Navins and Sons Construction XI, Young Rivals Sports Club, and Team Infinity.

Cricket fans can look forward to a weekend of high-octane action, with the finals scheduled for Sunday, July 20th, at Lusignan.

Adding to the excitement, admission to all venues throughout the tournament is free, with matches kicking off from 09:30h on Saturday.

Beyond the bragging rights, significant financial rewards are also on offer. The zone champion will receive a handsome $300,000, while the runner-up will receive $100,000.

But the stakes get even higher at the national final, where teams will vie for a grand prize of $1.7 million. The national runner-up will pocket $700,000 along with a trophy and medals, and even the losing semi-finalists will be rewarded with $300,000 each.

Individual brilliance won’t go unnoticed either, with a host of prizes up for grabs, including MVP ($150,000 + motorcycle), Most Runs ($100,000 + trophy + TV), Most Wickets ($100,000 + trophy + TV), Man-of-the-National Final ($75,000 + trophy + TV), Highest Strike Rate ($35,000), and Best Economy ($35,000).

The Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast has garnered support from a wide range of sponsors, including Kares Engineering Inc, the Office of the President, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, KFC Guyana, Star Rentals, Banks DIH, ENet, Guyana Lottery Company, Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Impressions, Avinash Contracting and Scrap Metal, Shawn’s Mini Mart, Giftland Group of Companies, Kris Jagdeo Construction Company, Montra Restaurant & Lounge, Windsor Estates, The New Doctor’s Clinic, GuyOil, ANSA McAL, SuperBet Guyana, Digital Technology, Camille’s Academy, Navin Construction, Demerara Mutual Life Insurance, Continental Transportation, and Environmental & Technical Solutions.

19/07/2025

A batting show headlined by three very different innings and a combined bowling effort in which all the key men contributed something of note took Guyana Amazon Warriors, the hosts, to the Global Super League title in Providence on Friday night.

They vanquished Rangpur Riders, who had won the title in its inaugural season, and a target of 197 might have seemed achievable, but not after a powerplay of 32 for 3.

It started with the run-out of Ibrahim Zadran in the second over, followed by Dwaine Pretorius picking up the first of his three wickets – Soumya Sarkar – in the fifth, and Moeen Ali chipping in with the big wicket of Kyle Mayers in the sixth.

The fightback came courtesy Saif Hassan and Iftikhar Ahmed, who put together 73 runs for the fourth wicket in 44 balls, but another run-out, this time of Saif, triggered another slide.

This time, they went from 102 for 3 to 126 for 8 between the 13th and the 17th overs, and there was no coming back from there.

Masterminding the dominance were Pretorius, with the wickets of Azmatullah Omarzai and Iftikhar, who top-scored with 46 from 29 balls, and Imran Tahir, who sent back Nurul Hasan and Khaled Ahmed.

Mahidul Islam Ankon threw his bat around to score a 17-ball 30, but it was too little and too late to prevent Amazon Warriors from taking the title.

For Amazon Warriors, Gudakesh Motie also picked up two wickets and the only frontline bowler who didn’t get a wicket, Akeal Hosein, conceded just 24 runs from his four overs.

Earlier, after Amazon Warriors had opted to bat, a partnership of 121 runs in 70 balls between opener Johnson Charles and No. 3 Rahmanullah Gurbaz set them on their way.

The two got together in the fourth over after Evin Lewis had been felled by Khaled, and batted through to the end of the 15th before Charles retired out on 67 from 48, with 11 fours and a six.

Gurbaz fell almost immediately after for a 38-ball 66, studded with six fours and four sixes, and the finishing kick came from Romario Shepherd, who slammed three sixes and a four in scoring 28 not out from nine balls. (ESPNcricinfo)
