Is this really a political matter or a case of police taking bribe and dropping charges. Why does every incident in the nation have to run all the way up to ppp ministers. What the young lady needs to do now is bring a civil case against the bastard. It is the culture in Guyana to black up them eye and bruise up them knees when they get out of hand, this has to change but it will only happen when society becomes more aware and reject it as a norm.
Many of you naysayers should look in your own backyards and see the same situation in the US where assault cases are given lenient punishment and defendants are given bail or set free until a court date.
If something happen more than once then one may cautiously hint at a pattern of behavior. When it is so much familiar, ie the sun coming up in the morning then it is predictable in science and society it constitute a practice.
It is clearly a matter of the expectations of the society from the privileged untouchable class created by the PPP . Ramotar’s son, Repu’s son, Nanda’s son too privileges no less in their serious criminal infractions before the state.
If the young lady could not get acknowledgement in a criminal case and the young man walked despite the serious accusation of rape and aggravated assault while in possession of a fire arm, do you think she stand much of a chance otherwise in a system not geared for civil suits?
How can the society take back its authority if not rescinding the authority of the PPP? I think you would not want that. Preventing that is the reason you are here making the devils bargain daily and lying your ass off on their account.
In the US there are systems in place to address the issue or rape. Ask those indo boys who are ending up in Rikers or put out of their homes on account of abusing ( even verbally) their wife . No one is suggesting that there are not too many of these cases presenting but victims are not subjected to systematic neglect and political abused when they complain.
