BY PRAISEMORE SITHOLE BUSINESS operators and residents at Binga Business Centre have been without running water since last month after the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) cut off supplies over a $1 billion debt owed by the local authority. Residents said water supply was cut off on September 23 without prior warning. Civic organisation, Citizen Watch confirmed the development and appealed to the local authority and Zinwa to resolve their differences and restore water supply at the business centre. “On September 23, water was disconnected without notice from the supplier. Residents thought it was just a fault. On September 25, a committee visited council and was told that Zinwa had disconnected the water supplies because council had a debt of over $1 million and the question is: Are residents paying to council and on the other hand is council paying the money paid by residents to Zinwa?” Citizen Watch said. Contacted for comment, Binga Rural District Council chief executive officer Joshua Muzamba said: “I have been away from Binga for the past few days and I am at a funeral.” Zinwa spokesperson Marjorie Munyonga said she was unaware of the issue.

A HIGH Court master has awarded a La Romaine man a total of $408,769.13 for false imprisonment, malicious damage, and assault.

Master Martha Alexander made the order for the man who was arrested on suspicion of robbery in November 2015.

He was held in custody for a total of 116 days before he was released from prison in February 2016, without being charged for a crime.

His claim for damages for unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and assault and battery was filed by his attorney Abdel Mohammed in October 2019. And although the State entered an appearance in the matter, it failed to file a defence and judgment in default was entered in his favour.

The claim for damages was sent to the master for assessment.

In her ruling, Alexander said the man’s evidence went unchallenged by the State.

He was first arrested on November 5, 2015, at his daughter’s school. He was detained in the police station for four days before he was charged in relation to two alleged robbery incidents in Point Fortin.

The man was remanded to prison for three months and 21 days until the charges against him were dropped.

His lawsuit said he was never put on an identification parade nor were the alleged stolen items found in his possession.

When the case was dropped, the police’s witnesses said they never saw him and evidence showed that not only did he not match the description of the person who committed the robberies but one of the victims said the man was not the person who broke into his home and robbed him.

In his civil lawsuit, he accused the police of framing him. He said he was beaten while in custody and suffered the indignity, mental suffering and humiliation when he was arrested despite repeatedly insisting he was innocent

“There is is no contest on the facts that the criminal law was set in motion against the claimant, there was no reasonable basis for the charges and the prosecution ended in his acquittal.

“At the end of the baseless prosecution, the claimant’s reputation was damaged and he was left to live with that stigma and humiliation for the rest of his life,” Alexander said.

THE EDITOR: Matt Roller, assistant editor of ESPNcricinfo, said in January, 'the West Indies crashed and burned in the 2021 World Cup. How do they turn their T20I fortunes around?'

Carlos Brathwaite's four sixes and Marlon Samuels contributions felt like a distant memory when we crashed out of the 2021 World Cup in the Super 12s with four defeats from five games. Kieron Pollard, who was rewarded by retaining his captaincy, said, 'We have to bin it and move on' after we were bowled out for 55 runs against England in the opening game.

There were two key questions to address: How could a team containing so many short-form greats bow out in such ignominy? And, of course, what corrective action can be taken? Six or bust is not always the best formula. Teams such as Australia and England have copied that style but they have added the elements of strike rotation and lower dot-ball percentage, while we are stuck in that six mould since 2016.

In their last five and a half years, the West Indies has moved from boom to bust. Pollard retired/resigned from playing for the West Indies earlier this year. How on earth could Pollard have been retained as captain after such a debacle? But these kinds of things seem to be acceptable standards with the West Indies. The WI is quite inflexible, we have been stuck in the style of hit or miss. That is going to win us a game or two, but hardly a tournament.

After all our collective efforts, the ICC rankings are as follows: Test - eight; ODI - ninth; T20 - seventh. The eight teams that have already qualified for the 2022 ICC World Cup are Australia, India, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Former World T20 Champions West Indies and Sri Lanka have to take part in playoffs. The once mighty WI will have to place in the top two in a group that includes Ireland, Zimbabwe and Scotland. Yes, folks, this is indeed the stark reality.

Earlier this week, we beat the United Arab Emirates. The media stated, 'Windies silence UAE,' 'Windies win one,' and 'King, Pooran star.' I mean really! We won by 17 runs but what was worrying was that seven batsmen made five and less runs. And a guy by the name of Junaid Siddique took five wickets for 13 runs. To reiterate the point, the West Indies made 152 for nine.

Oh yes, and our captain Nicholas Pooran shined against the UAE. Finally! Which brings me to my final point. Pooran is struggling for form and cannot seem to get it right. My opinion is that he has never played Test cricket, which is where you get to practise the art and skill of cricket. A hit-or-miss approach is difficult to fix. Correct technique will take you there.

In the months approaching the World Cup batsmen like Virat Kohli, Aaron Finch and Babar Azam were struggling for form in the T20 version. They have all now proven the confidence placed in them by their country and selectors. South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma is also short of form, but he is a Test cricketer so we will see what will

THE MINISTRY of Social Development and Family Services (MSDFS) is distancing itself from any connection to the Finbar Ryan Geriatric Home in Goodwood Gardens, Diego Martin, after a social media post highlighted poor conditions being faced by its residents.

The ministry issued a statement on Friday, saying the home is privately owned and does not receive subventions from the government but is managed and operated by the Society of St Vincent de Paul, a non-governmental organisation that falls under the purview of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese.

On Thursday, Progressive Empowerment Party political leader Phillip Edwards Alexander recorded a live video on his Facebook page alleging the home was without sufficient funding and residents "were note being attended to" after the Ministry of Social Development "fired St Vincent de Paul."

He said the residents were "trapped between a black hole between the State and the law."

The ministry said its relationship with the Society of St Vincent de Paul existed since 1991 for the management and operation of the Centre for Socially Displaced Persons (CSDP), located at Besson Street, Port of Spain.

The agreement came to an end in August when the ministry terminated the existing agreement and relocated the residents to other homes.

"This followed several attempts to get the Society of St Vincent De Paul to be more accountable and transparent in their reporting and operations, with regard to management of the CSDP.

"Coupled with this, the venue had outgrown its original purpose in terms of being a facility for long-term residential accommodation.

"To date, all residents of the centre have been relocated based on alternative options which were made available to them."

The ministry said it has two clients under the Community Care programme at the home.

It added that the ministry itself visited the home on May 17 and a later meeting "related to guidance to improve standards of care was held in September."

"(The MSDFS) reaffirms its commitment to the care and protection of older persons and therefore any form of abuse of older persons is of grave concern.

"Similar to other reports of elder abuse received by the Ministry, investigators from the Division of Ageing visited the Finbar Ryan Home yesterday (Thursday) and reported that the residents were in reasonably good health and did not require urgent medical attention."
