He further told Kaieteur News that it would have been much better had the government auctioned off the radio frequencies and this would have created some balance in the distribution.Ramjattan stated that the auction process is nothing new to Guyana, since the government has done this several times within the Forest industry.According to Ramjattan the prospective buyers would have balanced programming, but instead they gave it to their families,Wholesale Adidas Hockey Jerseys, friends and cronies.Ramjattan stated that the main purpose of handing out the frequencies to friends, families and cronies was so that they could control the minds of Guyanese. “They want to confuse Guyanese with all those programmes since it would be dominating the airwaves….they want to spread their propaganda.Last week it was reported that Jamaica publicly indicated that it is preparing to auction some of these limited resources, which is the spectrum. Jamaica’s Spectrum Management Authority, similar to that of Guyana’s National Frequency Management Unit (NFMU), has said it will be selling to the highest bidders two 700-megahertz (MHz) band licences to improve Internet penetration in that country.It will highlight how valuable Jamaica considers its spectrum, a resource that is jealously guarded worldwide by Governments because of the power of radio, TV and the internet.Potential investors will have to make a deposit of between US$2.7M ($540M) to US$3M ($600M), depending on the band they are going after,Anders Nilsson Jersey, just to be considered for the bid, according to the Jamaican Observer yesterday.The report disclosed that the authority will require a bank guarantee or bond in the amount of 50 per cent of the proposed purchase price.

Representing Mirror is Dharamkumar Seeraj, a PPP Parliamentarian.This happened days before his Presidential term was due to end in November 2011 when General Elections were held.The move has widely been seen as carefully planned by Jadgeo and the ruling party to control the airwaves of Guyana. Jagdeo also granted five frequencies to his personal friend, Dr. Ranjisinghi “Bobby” Ramroop and another five to Omkar Lochan, Permanent Secretary of Natural Resources Minister, Robert Persaud.Persaud happens to be the nephew-in-law of Jagdeo.The former President did not stop there.

Both Kaieteur News and Stabroek News, two independent newspapers, were sidelined by Jagdeo. They and others are now being asked to submit fresh applications.Radio and television licences have been a sore issue between the Opposition and Government with an agreement brokered in early 2000 for no new ones until reforms in the broadcasting legislations. This was passed in the National Assembly during 2011.Jagdeo did not wait on the mandated Broadcast Authority to handle the licence despite the new law.
