The chemicals from the sewage, illegal mining, and agriculture are seeping in the soil and the water, making it toxic. One study found that the water level was not only highly acidic, but also contained petro-chemicals and pesticides, both of which have been scientifically proven to cause many different harmful diseases.

This water pollution could cause a massive decrease in not only the human, but also the animal population and destroy the ecosystems. Thus heavily damaging and destroying the economy. We plan to get the World Nature Organization to take action.

The main protection for the people who venture into this industry is Copyrights and Intellectual Property Rights. Without Copyrights and Intellectual Property Rights, we face extreme hardship trying to make a profit or any return on funds invested into this trade. Businesses and Corporations, big and small, decline to invest in us based on this mere fact.

We are underpaid and disrespected by big companies and promoters who exploit or creativity for their own financial gain. Even at a Governmental level we are treated as third class citizens, and there is a high level of discrimination as it pertains to shows held on behalf of the Government. The organizers for these events constantly choose the artist for these events and payment methods based on friendships and association.

As citizens and tax payers, we deserve to be afforded protection by law to our intellectual properties.

The general public (majority) have no confidence in him as Attorney General, and have since been registering their dissatisfaction with President Donald Ramotar for not sacking Nandlall.

This is a slap in the face to all right-thinking Guyanese.

Radio Guyana Inc; which is associated with Dr. Ranjisingjhi Ramroop a close friend of Jagdeo, has been issued with radio frequency licenses by the National Frequency Management Unit (NFMU) for 89.3 ; 89.5; 89.7; 106.9 and 107.3. Telcor and Cultural Broadcasting has been granted frequency licenses for 89.7 ; 90.1 ; 91.56 ; 104.9 and 103.3. New Guyana Company Limited has gotten 91.1; 90.7; 90.5; 105.9 and 105.3. The contact person for Telcor is Omar Lochan, a Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment. Lochan is also the husband of Jaya Manickchand, sister of Education Minister, Priya Manickchand.

That entity’s directors are Kamini Persaud-a niece of Jagdeo and wife of Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud- and Ruth Baljit his sister.

One frequency each has been granted to NTN Radio, Rudolph Grant, Wireless Connections, Hits and Jams Entertainment, Alfro Alphonso and Sons Enterprise, Haslyn Graham and Little Rock Television.

This is in the face of a US$60M being paid by taxpayers to build a hotel that's not needed in Guyana, whilst the former president (Bharat Jagdeo) and his close friends are set to benefit from this deal.

In February of 2012, EZjet complained to the Government of Guyana. In EZjet complaint it stated that Caribbean Airlines was taking reservations and selling seats on an Omni Air International (US) B767 aircraft, operating to and from Georgetown destined to New York and Port of Spain, during the four months period from 10 February 2012 through 13 May 2012 when more than sufficient seats are already available between Georgetown and New York.

While it is recognized Caribbean Airlines historically served Guyana when our country had no national carrier and, accordingly, was then granted special privileges for Guyana service: EZjet, along with Delta Air Lines and Caribbean are operating flights between Georgetown and New York. These flights offered more than adequate seat capacity on this route. In fact, since EZjet started flying, both Caribbean and Delta have been operating with additional empty seats on every flight. Caribbean is taking the course of a predator to re-establish its previous dominance. Even though Caribbean is already providing excess capacity to Guyana: Caribbean has hired a US carrier to provide more capacity ... with an even larger aircraft than Caribbean's B737-800s.

Caribbean's addition of a B767 to serve GEO on loss-making flights is clearly a predatory action, aimed at reducing load factors on both of the services offered by its competitors, EZjet and Delta. Caribbean's bold attempt to pillage Guyana passengers from its competitors and restore its once dominant market share should be at least challenged and preferably denied. However the Government took no action to protect EZjet, rather they encouraged Caribbean’s predatory move to put EZjet out of business.

During the past nine months, EZjet flights have been very successful. EZjet captured 59% of the New York market, which was previously shared 60% to CAL and 40% to Delta. Also, EZjet entry grew the market by 9% when EZjet brought low fares to customers who could not otherwise afford to travel at the high prices offered by other airlines. The result of this competition has been record-setting low fares, down to $321 roundtrip between Guyana and New York instead of the historical low price of $660. Based on these facts and figures, EZjet generated significant benefits for the Guyana traveling public by re-establishing non-stop service to New York and Toronto by a Guyana operator.

The Government supported CAL's efforts to put EZjet out of business knowing that CAL is currently in violation of CARICOM Multi-Lateral Air Services agreement Article 14 and 15 relating to fair competition. Item 2 of Article 14 required that the Government take all appropriate action within in their respective jurisdiction to eliminate all forms of discrimination and unfair competitive practices adversely affecting the competitive position. Item 4 of the same article also required required the government to take into account the requirements of the public for transportation and the need for stability on the specific routes, and shall have as their primary objective the provision, at a reasonable load factor, of capacity adequate to meet the current and reasonably anticipated requirements for the carriage of passengers, cargo and mail on the specified routes.

Additionally Article 15 of the Air Services agreement also required that prices set by CAL are not unreasonably discriminatory, unduly high or restrictive because of the abuse of a dominant position; or are not artificially low because of direct or indirect subsidy or support.

Without a subsidy and constant infusion of cash from the Government of Trinidad, CAL cannot survive. However, they utilized those resources to put EZjet out of business.

We consider Mr. Ramphal to be unworthy of this prize because of the well-documented atrocities that he committed as a member of Burnham's corrupt regime. Since it was people of Indian origin who mainly suffered as a result, India should not be conferring such an honour.

We believe that by honouring such a man, India is dishounoring not only the award processes but the name of the Honourable Indira Gandhi herself.

We respectfully submit this petition.
