1. Headlines (00:00-00:22) 2. In Antigua, a coalition of angry citizens is threatening to sue the government for failing to pay millions of dollars to the country’s medical benefits scheme, the National Health Insurance Programme, which is now the subject of a commission of enquiry. Bruce Goodwin spokesman of the Coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations, is talking to its lawyers about taking legal action on behalf of public sector workers (00:23-04:02) 3. The funeral for Shaka Blair turns into a massive anti-government rally as mourners call for the disbanding of the “Black Clothes Police Squad”. Mr. Blair was shot and killed by special police and minutes before his funeral Detective Sargent Harry Kooseram was killed by a gunman. Colin Smith reports Opposition Leader, Desmond Hoyte is among the mourners and reports on increasing crime and violence in Guyana (04:03-05:28) 4. In another development sure to worry authorities, persons in the funeral procession of Shaka Blair distribute leaflets, addressed to the military, referring to the five men who shot their way out of prison, February 23rd, as freedom fighters who will stay in Guyana and fight for the Afro-Guyanese nation as the majority of those killed by police are Afro-Guyanese (05:29-06:09) 5. The Anguillan Chief Minister, Osborne Fleming, has been defending his government’s position to impose visa restrictions on Guyanese and Jamaican nationals as, over the past six years, people from Jamaica and Guyana have been putting a strain on the islands already limited resources by coming in as visitors and ending up in the workplace. Ben Meade reports (06:10-08:16) 6. The Guyanese Foreign Minister, Rudy Insanally, says he is surprised by the move of Anguilla’s government to impose visa restrictions on Guyanese and Jamaican nationals and will be talking with the Anguillan authorities before deciding on any reciprocal action. In light of the revised CARICOM treaty his thought is that Caribbean nations are working together for freedom of movement in the ... |
