AG Nandlall charges… Historical connection between political actors in Opposition and criminal underworld

ATTORNEY General Anil Nandlall yesterday said the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is maintaining “most resolutely” that there is a historical

connection between criminal elements in society and major political leaders and actors in the Opposition.

Speaking at a news conference yesterday at the party’s Freedom House headquarters on Robb Street, Nandlall, who is also Legal Affairs Minister, said the party is therefore calling upon the combined Opposition to remove their “mask of deception” and reveal the real motives behind their non-support of the country’s security sector.
Citing incidents to support such connections, Nandlall pointed to the five sugar workers who disappeared on the East Coast Demerara, along with all of the violence that erupted after the 1992, 1997, and 2001 elections. “All arose directly out of protest actions taken by the Opposition in this country,” he declared.
Furthermore, he spoke about the People’s National Congress (PNC) sponsoring the funeral of notorious criminal Linden ‘Blackie’ London who was captured and killed by the authorities and recalled how the PNC draped the Guyana flag across the coffin and marched with it in the streets.
Nandlall also recalled the connection between the Buxton gangs and PNC leaders who went into the village to meet with criminals at all hours. He recalled, too, the recording of the conversation between a former Commissioner of Police, who is now a member of parliament, and the PNC Vice-Chairman.

‘We call upon right thinking Guyanese to rise up and say to the Opposition, loud and clear, that the one seat majority, which they hold in the National Assembly, is held at the people’s pleasure and must at all times be used for and in the best interest of all Guyanese and not at the fancy and caprice of personal likes and dislikes of the opposition.’

“The repeated and constant attacks, to which every Home Affairs Minister of our Government has been subjected, and the years of onslaught which the Opposition have unleashed upon the Guyana Police Force, especially its most effective officers and crime fighting units, for example, TSU or the Black Clothes squad, which eventually led to its disbandment, are matters of public record.”
Questioned by Kaieteur News Editor Adam Harris whether the PPP does not also have links to criminals, Nandlall responded: “We have no historical…or any link with any form of criminal enterprise. In fact, PPP supporters invariably are the victims of the onslaught which resulted from those attacks.”

‘…in the war against crime, there are but only two sides. You either stand on the side of the law and the law abiding, or you stand on the side of crime and the criminals. The Opposition parties have repeatedly chosen the side of crime and the criminals. We say that this must end now!’

ONLY TWO SIDES
Just last week, the Alliance For Change (AFC) reiterated its position that they will not support any bill or proposal brought by Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee to the National Assembly, on the basis that they have no confidence in the minister.
Nandlall said such a position by the AFC is “not only illogical, irresponsible and immature”, but it demonstrates clearly, once again, that the Opposition is no longer using Parliament to advance the welfare of Guyana and its people but is using it as a forum to settle personal grudges and to orchestrate agendas of vendetta, even if it is to the detriment of all Guyanese, including their own supporters.
“Therefore, no matter how effective a particular bill may be in combating crime, no matter how potent a crime fighting policy may be, the Opposition would reject it because Clement Rohee is the Home Affairs Minister! How political leaders can reduce the nation’s security and the safety of the Guyanese people to such childish games is, indeed, incomprehensible,” Nandlall remarked.
He observed that in the war against crime, there are but only two sides. “You either stand on the side of the law and the law abiding, or you stand on the side of crime and the criminals. The Opposition parties have repeatedly chosen the side of crime and the criminals. We say that this must end now!”

FIREARMS BILL
Minister Nandlall said AFC’s Khemraj Ramjattan’s statement that he will bring back the Firearms Bill to the National Assembly is clear proof that they recognise the importance of the bill.
“Yet they rejected it! Why? Because they did not like the minister who tabled it. The citizens of this country were, therefore, denied the protection of this law, the law enforcement agencies of the land were denied the use of this law as a crime fighting measure, because of the Opposition’s capricious and whimsical dislike of the minister who tabled it.
“We call upon right thinking Guyanese to rise up and say to the Opposition, loud and clear, that the one seat majority, which they hold in the National Assembly, is held at the people’s pleasure and must at all times be used for and in the best interest of all Guyanese and not at the fancy and caprice of personal likes and dislikes of the opposition.”

Wasn't it the PNC who brought Rabbi Washington to Guyana to terrorise and murder the Indians? Why did the PNC lock his ass up? Did he not want to commit any more murders for the thug party?

Ok so I asked my mamoo and father this a few mins ago. They said that the PPP freed the Rabbi because Mrs Jagan felt he was a good communist. She also freed Mr Taps. On the other hand, Mr Hoyte jailed them and hanged many of them.

Who is this mamoo of yours? He appears to be giving you wrong advice. The afc/pnc are funding criminal activities in Guyana, it is in their stated objectives to make the country ungovernable. Let us now forget who Nigel Hughes defends. Let us remember the link between the AFC/pnc and the overseas authors who funded the arson of the ministry. Let us remember that armed groups in Guyana are funded by the afc/pnc and take their orders clandestinely in the dead of the night, and by morning their are dead Indians, robbed and disfigured.

The afc/pnc coalition has another successful fund raising campaign again last night. Their leaders met with the bandits in the dead of the night and issued directives to rob and maim in support of the campaign's coffers so Rumjuttan and Hughes can sport. Tk ketch sense an stop funding the AFC since he was cut out of the sporting.

Victim of piracy attack estimates loss of $5.5M

OWNER of the fishing boat that was attacked by pirates off Shell Beach, Waini Sea Coast, North West District in the dangerous Iron Punt area Saturday night has estimated his loss in excess of $5.5M.
In an interview with the "Chronicle" via telephone, Mr. Satyanand Persaud of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo said his boat with five crew members came under attack with gun fire on Saturday night at around 20:00 hrs on the high seas. According to the owner he was told by members of his crew that his boat was drifting in the Iron Punt area with seine overboard in the ocean at around 20:00 hrs on Saturday night when the attack started. Mr. Persaud said his workers were in the cabin of the boat when they heard gunshots and upon looking out saw a small boat approaching their boat. According to the owner he was told by his workers that the men were masked and heavily armed. Mr. Persaud said the four armed pirates ordered his crew members to lie face down on the floor of the boat. He said three of the pirates entered his boat and tried to take off his newly purchased 48 HP Yamaha out board engine from the boat stern but found difficulty because the engine was bolted and secured properly on the boat. Persaud said the pirates then ordered his crew to go into their small boat and the pirates then took his boat away with all his equipment including a GPS, compass and five drums with gasoline along with the catch, fish glue and dried snapper fish worth some $1M. The owner said the bandits escaped with his fishing boat and engine after ordering his crew members to load a 40 HP and a 15 HP outboard engines from their small boat to the fishing boat. He said the pirates tied the small boat his crew members were in to the seine that was drifting in the ocean and sped off in the dark Atlantic Ocean. Mr. Persaud said his crew was rescued by the Guyana Defence Force [GDF] Coast Guard who after getting reports of piracy in the Iron Punt area rushed to the rescue of the helpless fishermen. They were brought to Charity where the police were informed of the pirate attack at Iron Punt. Reports said another fishing boat was also attacked by the pirates on Saturday night in the said area.
