Edutainment with Poetry and Storytelling – by Francis Quamina Farrier
Back in Guyana’s Jubilee Year, 2016, I was invited by the National Library to be a member of a team to go to schools and do Sessions of Poetry and Storytelling sessions. The team went to many schools on the West Bank and West Coast Demerara, as well as to the East Bank Essequibo in Region Number Three.
.
It all went so well, that I decided to continue solo, doing FREE Poetry and Storytelling Sessions around and about Guyana ever since. The project was even extended east across the Atlantic to Ghana, which was done while I was on a visit to that West African country. The sessions are for half an hour duration; twenty minutes of my actual Poetry and Storytelling, and ten minutes for questions, comments and criticisms by the students.

—Jagdeo tones down call for polling date – Will Appeal to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ)
Demerara Waves – March 22, 2019
Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo Friday night appeared to tone down calls for President David Granger to announce an early election date after Guyana’s Court of Appeal ruled that the no-confidence motion was not validly passed.
He, however, said his People’s Progressive Party (PPP) would continue to demand that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) be in a state of readiness for early polls because the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) could soon decide whether Friday’s decision by the Appeal Court that last December’s no-confidence motion needed 34 instead of 33 votes was valid.

– Jagdeo insists people have a right to protest “illegal” administration
March 22, 2019 News
Police Chief, Commissioner Leslie James, has announced that the force has placed police stations in all regions on high alert amid reports of intentions to disrupt the calm.
The warnings come ahead of this afternoon’s rulings of the Court of Appeal on the no-confidence vote of December 21 in the National Assembly. That vote heralded the fall of the Coalition Government.
The government has challenged the legality of the vote.
There were calls for protests as the 90-day deadline for holding early elections, according to the Constitution, elapsed at midnight. Continue reading →

Reporting on its mission here this week, the Atlanta, Georgia-based Carter Center today said it hopes that Parliament will convene no later than tomorrow to authorize an extension of the three-month election deadline and it noted the constitutional uncertainty than can arise if this is not done.
At a meeting with the Guyana Elections Commission yesterday, the Carter Center team made various proposals to end the stalemate between the government and the opposition over a date for general elections following the December 21, 2018 motion of no-confidence which was carried in Parliament.
The statement by the Center follows:

President to name elections date – …Min Harmon says Jagdeo written on decision
THE President has written the Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, to inform him that he is prepared to name a date within the confines of the advice of the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) who relayed the commission’s ability to hold elections no earlier than November 2019.
According to Minister of State Joseph Harmon, who made the announcement at an outreach to Constituency 12 on Wednesday, the letter was delivered to the Opposition Leader also on Wednesday 21 March 2019.
“The President has written the Leader of the Opposition and said to him today that he has received the advice of the elections commission and that he is prepared to name a date within the confines of the advice which has been given,” Harmon said, adding: “And so, comrades, whether the court goes one way or the other, we are in an election season.” Continue reading →
