Avoid ‘cake-shop’ reportage on Amaila – Jagdeo
Posted By Stabroek staff On May 13, 2010 @ 5:22 am In Local News
President Bharrat Jagdeo has lashed out at recent reports and analyses in the local media concerning the Amaila Falls Hydropower project labeling them as “cake-shop” reports which sought to discredit the development that was taking place in the country.
Addressing residents of Wakenaam on Monday, Jagdeo said that some sections of the media are “masquerading” in their quest for the “next scandal”, a release from GINA said. “They would question everything”, Jagdeo said as he pointed to the Kaieteur News and its questioning of the credibility and road building experience of the contractor Fip Motilall, who was awarded the contract to build the access road to the site. “Now I have seen another newspaper questioning the hydropower in Uganda, how it is expensive,” the President said, apparently referring to this newspaper. Jagdeo stressed that the tender for the project was a “public” and “open“ evaluation process that was awarded to the best of the bids. According to him, the project when completed will see the cost of electricity being one third of what is presently being sold by the Guyana Power and Light (GPL).
“It could reduce consumers’ bill, it would lead to industrialization because of cheaper reliable power and US$100 million that we spend every year to import fuel to generate electricity, the country will save that so it will have a big impact on our balance of payment and therefore, greater stability on our exchange rate and inflation rate,” GINA reported Jagdeo as saying. According to GINA, the President said such a long-term benefit would not be highlighted by some sections of the media since they are not interested in developments taking place in Guyana. “They would see ten thousand people owning more cars, ten thousand people owning more homes, more hospitals and schools being built and yet they would claim that there is no progress in this country,” Jagdeo said.
Nota del editor del blog: Al referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta los 159.500Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.
Territorios estos sobre los cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota del 26 de mayo de 1966 al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana .
“...por lo tanto, Venezuela reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana, a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
