It just goes to show that the PPP is going the full Burnham route.  In fact even worse as they use criminals to carry out their tasks.

In any other country, the government would have fallen

I would strongly urge all Guyanese to keep in front of their eyes, the big picture in relation to the Anil Nandlall tape. It is the story of a cabal inside the Government of Guyana that came to a decision on what to do with Glenn Lall and the Kaieteur News paper itself.
In the coming days, the obsessive talk on this scandal will persist. But the big picture will be lost if we keep Nandlall in the frame as the main culprit. He is not. The chief conspirator in this drama is the cabal. Nandlall is just one of the players who mouthed off to a journalist he knows well.
Why did the Government in less than 24 hours, issue a statement supporting Nandlall? Because the statement was in support of the government itself.  Nandlall implicated the President of Guyana in the game of planned attack on KN and Mr. Lall.  Nandlall said that the President was in discussion with someone close to Lall and a decision was made that the Kaieteur News would stay away from any attack on the government for one week.
On the recording Nandlall said that not even for a week could Lall have “shut his mouth.” What it meant, then, was firstly, Ramotar wanted the KN to stop attacking the government. To test him they gave him a week to see if he could “cool out.”
Secondly, after the passing of the week, and Lall did not play ball, the conspiracy then had to proceed. In both instances, President Ramotar was involved.
Why is President Ramotar giving a newspaper a week to stop attacking the government as a standard by which to judge if the PPP hierarchy could make a deal with him? Why doesn’t Ramotar try that with me? Would they like to give me a week? Give me the week and they will see that in each of those articles for the week all will be filled with the most trenchant criticism of the tyrannical PPP regime, including Ramotar himself.
The Anil Nandlall tape, in which it was enunciated that there will be a planned violent attack on Lall and his staff, is the story of an entrapped government. This is not about an entrapped Minister. I repeat; the context of this thing must be seen as a confrontation with Lall and the leadership of the cabal.
Nandlall, in those twenty minutes, spoke in the plural. You have to be completely deaf not to hear him say that the continuous criticism has reached a stage where certain people (note the plural) have now become sensitive. The tape is punctuated with anger by Nandlall himself about the salvoes fired at him. But time and time again in that deadly 20 minutes of rampage, he constantly referred to the plural.
Here is another brazen example. He said that people have weapons and that they will use them against KN and Mr. Lall. Who are these people with their weapons? Who are the people that have become sensitive? The answer is simple – the extended cabal which takes in the major political players high up the PPP ladder and inside the Government of Guyana and their close associates.
Will the cabal still go through with their war at Saffon Street? I don’t know, because if people die through fire or guns at Kaieteur News in the coming months then I cannot see how the PPP can survive in power.
But this I know; now that the plot has been revealed through a secret recording (see Anil Nandlall’s letter, “There’s no right to privacy known to the laws of Guyana,” in the KN of March 23, 2006, in which he examined the Winston Felix tape scandal and concluded that Felix’s privacy was not invaded by the person who taped him), it would appear that many lives at Kaieteur News may have been spared, and that includes this columnist.
The sickening and chilling part of the tape is the part in which it was clearly stated that when the attack comes, if innocents at KN get killed, then that is something that cannot be avoided. In any other country, this tape scandal (notice I did not say Nandlall scandal) would have resulted in the fall of the government.
Let’s remind readers of the brutality in that tape. It is about a planned violent attack on the offices of Kaieteur News with the specific purpose of maybe killing Mr. Lall and his staff.  Mr. Nandlall made it pellucid that he was referring to people, not an individual. Those people reach high up in the seat of government.

I have been saying for years how we are being ruled by a brutal PPP regime, capable of any level of criminal action in order to silence decent. In its defence, the PPP is quick to scare the public with the scare story that things would be even more violent under the PNC. well if that is the case, then the people now have a third option: the AFC. We should not have to put up with enforced oppression by either the PPP or PNC.

Ramotar must demand Nandlall’s immediate resignation

- Minister has brought the AG’s Office into disrepute – AFC
The Alliance For Change in a statement released yesterday says the party is “shocked beyond disbelief” at the

Attorney General,
Anil Nandlall

recent revelations in a conversation between a Kaieteur News reporter and the Attorney General (AG), Mr. Anil Nandlall.
The party said that the transcript of the conversation “which the AG has most recently admitted as having said highlights that he has proven himself wholly unfit to hold the office of Attorney General of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana”.
“President Donald Ramotar must demand the immediate resignation of Mr. Nandlall, as his  failure to act swiftly on this issue would be an endorsement of such behaviour by persons who represent our country at the highest level in Guyana and internationally.
“It is now clear to the AFC that our party, civil society organisations and the citizens of Guyana cannot continue to do business with this Government if it holds persons in the ilk of Mr. Nandlall as its representative. Only his immediate resignation could save this country the embarrassment of having one of its highest offices brought further into disrepute and disgrace.”
The party said that it had noted in an audio recording released to the public, Nandlall indicates that he has intimate knowledge of an imminent attack on Kaieteur News, one where the very lives of staff of the media house will be endangered.
“This is a very dangerous state of affairs and must be taken seriously. As a leading figure in the system of law and order and an officer of the court, the Attorney General knows he has an obligation to inform the relevant authorities of an impending crime. Failure to do so is an indication of complicity and brings the office of Attorney General into disrepute.
The Alliance For Change calls on the Attorney General to share what knowledge he has that makes Kaieteur News a “dangerous place to work” and what he knows of people who, “gun just walk with their weapons into that same (expletive) Saffon Street office…”
The AFC stated that its position is that Mr. Nandlall issued veiled threats against the media house when he spoke of not

President Donald Ramotar

engaging a ‘Chatree’ in war and pointing to a “change in tempo” after Kaieteur News started reporting on a relative of his.
“Such threats coming from the Attorney General is totally unacceptable and raises the concern that he would abuse the powers of his office to victimise the media house.”
The AFC also expressed alarm at “Mr. Nandlall’s derogatory, disrespectful and totally unacceptable sexual comments in the conversation towards a female reporter in the conduct of her duties as a journalist and representative of the media. It is clear by the comments that he was prepared to use his influence to entrap this young woman in loose sexual behaviour. This lends credence to growing reports of high ranking members of the Government demanding sexual favours from women in their employ”.
“The level of language filled with expletives, his threats, hints of having knowledge of an impending serious crime and willingness to promote and encourage loose sexual behaviour are indictments against Anil Nandlall, and enough reason why he should be removed from office and cannot stand as a role model for young Guyanese.
The Alliance For Change is calling on the President to relieve the Attorney General of his position immediately so that the integrity of the Office of Attorney General can be restored,” the statement concluded.

"they will just walk with their weapon into that same F**king Saffon Street office and wah come shall do.”

He was being compassionate to the Gentleman, warning him what is possible when a :Mad Man' like Lall on the loose.

Quote "“Such threats coming from the Attorney General is totally unacceptable and raises the concern that he would abuse the powers of his office to victimise the media house.”unquote.

Personally I think that the AG messed up big time.

Four pages of transcript and Glenn Lall is still alive?  Nehru, I gone kill you when I see you next time. I hear you was interfering with my cousin on Liberty Avenue. Well, that's how killing sound in this thread.

Well your cousin is one fine young lady.

What ah clown of an AG...dotishness to the max

The AG needs to resign immediately it is time all these PPP clowns start calling for his resignation and send him packing.

Explain if you could please? You try to make excuses for this lowdown creature but it came out kinda warbled.

Ray, I said he is naive and unsophisticated but I will add cocky and a little arrogant.

If you listen carefully to the Tape Anil was suggesting that the man go work for GNI and that the way Lall is, he is scared that someone may visit Saffon Street again with weapons and harm innocent people.

Whatderass, he want lall take away we moderator's job? 

THIS HAPPENED SOME MONTHS AGO: AND SUDDENLY THIS NEWS BREAKING STORY: GUESS LALL HAS TO BE CONCERNED:

Men in Anil Nandlall’s vehicle terrorize Kaieteur News staff

Attorney General, Anil Nandlall

The approach of a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) and the slow lowering of the dark tinted windows sent some staff members of Kaieteur News taking cover behind parked cars. Some in the building peeped out from behind posts.

The incident brought back memories of two horrific attacks on Kaieteur News in the past—the firebombing of the printing press at Eccles in 2002 and the killing of five Kaieteur News pressmen in 2006.

The black SUV turned out to be the vehicle used by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mohabir Anil Nandlall.

It was shortly after 13:00 hours on Monday when some staff members saw the vehicle approaching from the south along Saffon Street. When the vehicle neared the newspaper office both the left front and rear windows were lowered. The people saw hands going up and did not wait to see the result. One man was certain that he saw a gun in one of the hands.

Two minutes later the vehicle returned and the procedure was repeated. This time the vehicle stopped. The closed circuit television cameras revealed that the men appeared to be photographing the building and the vehicles parked outside.

It seemed that during the first pass the photographs were not good. The men appeared to be using camera phones. That was why they had to stop the second time around, a staff member said when he saw the video footage.

On receiving the report and verifying the number of the vehicle, Publisher Glenn Lall telephoned Mr. Anil Nandlall to complain about what he described as an act of terrorism. He then sent a text message to Mr. Nandlall protesting the intimidation of his staff.

Editor in Chief, Adam Harris, also called Mr. Nandlall who claimed ignorance of the affair. He said that he was attending an EID function on East Coast Demerara and that he was using a white Range Rover. Mr. Nandlall said that the Range Rover was hardly ever used and that he chose to do so on Monday.

In response to a query about who would use the vehicle when he opted to use another, Nandlall said that the Permanent Secretary could use the vehicle. He promised an investigation.

Up to Wednesday, there was no report from Nandlall. But the incident has left some staff members nervous. Glenn Lall said that he sees this latest incident as part of the scare tactics to silence this newspaper.

However, he said that he is not intimidated; that he will not be silenced.

He said that he has been critical of so many things that have been happening in the country, that he has attracted hostility from Government elements. In fact, former President Bharrat Jagdeo, President Donald Ramotar, People’s Progressive Party General Secretary Clement Rohee and other political types have resorted to describing the newspaper as the opposition media.

Some of them, including the Attorney General have resorted to suing the newspaper, which is another form of attempting to silence the newspaper. “I am surprised that the Attorney General has resorted to suing the newspaper and then terrorizing its staff.”

There are still staff members on roll who recalled facing two gunmen who had barged into the newspaper offices a few years ago, enquiring about the boss. At the time Mr. Lall was out of the country.

Attorney General’s threat against Kaieteur News…Guyana Press Association expresses alarm

The Guyana Press Association (GPA) is alarmed at statements purportedly those of the Attorney General Anil Nandlall contained in a recorded conversation released by Kaieteur News.
The recording, released yesterday, suggests that the Attorney General is aware of a sinister plot against Kaieteur News publisher Glenn Lall. As a result, he advises a senior reporter to leave the organization as soon as possible, because it would be sooner rather than later that men with “weapons” would walk into the newspaper offices, which also house its press.
In the recording, the Attorney General also suggests that because of the newspaper’s reporting on members of his family, he will “war” against Kaieteur News, because he is of the ancient Indian “Chatree” class.
The GPA expressed shock that these reckless, irresponsible and outrageous statements could be made by the sitting Attorney General of Guyana
It is now calling on the Government of Guyana to condemn the AG’s remarks. As an Attorney the AG should know that “the licence to practise law is not a licence to break it”.
The GPA wants the Guyana Police Force to thoroughly investigate the complaints made by Kaieteur News’ Glenn Lall regarding threats to his life, his family and the staff of the Kaieteur News.
The Guyana Press Association said that it is expressing its solidarity with Kaieteur News and all media workers. It is also urging them to remain vigilant.
Journalists in Guyana should be free to practise their profession in an environment free of fear, intimidation and threats, the GPA stated.

Reverse and Fookeetutu lickin each other right now dem aint gat time wid you cain.

Oh,Ok, I won't bother them.

Even the Guyana Press Association is alarmed. Many more Organisations are

concerned about the PPP/C lawlessness.

Only the corrupt PPP/C dont care a hang of  what happens

Cain 

Let me give you my honest to god opinion on this matter.

Anil, acted immature and ruined his chances of running as President in the future.

This was a private conversation and many things are said in bad taste during some private conversations. Anil expressed a lapse in judgement and should have acted in a more professional manner given his position.

Is an apology due ? Yes

Should he resign ? Not yet.

Not resign, fired!

Nandalall and by extension the PPP's days are numbered.

Was Nandalla soliciting sex for someone? Ofcourse we know that he was like a pimp in sending Welshman to Ms Manickchand

QUOTE "I use some money from the government and glen mek and issue of it I pay back deh ****ing money long before he even mek de issue and he know about it because wha it pay fuh UNQUOTE

i WONDER WHAT IT WAS USED FOR? i THINK THAT THERE RUMOR ON THE ROAD THAT MENTION ABOUT SOME ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION

Bravo, GPA. Anal Nandalall crossed the red line. He knew what he said. He wasn't speaking through his anal.

Cross the line is one thing. The Attorney general on tape admitted to defrauding tax payers and resolving the matter by paying back de money.

WTF is that?

You doan understan, you not suppose to catch the man. I hear it illegal fo ketch an' hear him say dat on tape den admit it.

These PPP thiefman dem have their own interpretations of what is legal and illegal. It is like reasoning with a goat to explain why his shit is round.

Maybe DG would know the answer, he know lotsa stuff.

Oi DG, HMR got a question about why goat shit roung?

Perhaps, Perhaps not.

Attorney General’s threat against Kaieteur News…Guyana Press Association expresses alarm

Quote "According to Burch-Smith, it is high time that the Attorney General or his employers come out and clarify the expletive-laden statements which speak to violence against the Kaieteur News and its staff, an attack on the freedom of the press, misuse of public funds by a public official as well as his loose comments against women, specifically a reporter employed at the Kaieteur News.

According to Burch-Smith, the contents of the recording are disturbing and disappointing and need clarification on the part of Nandlall, and or his employers.

There are a number of legal issues that need to be addressed, according to Burch-Smith, who reminded that the GBA will, following consultations with its hierarchy, issue a public statement on the matter" unquote

AG: who, who is the other staff, some nice girl dem sen

LG: man me cant give you the name man oww

AG: De man wan **** de girl man, the man tell me seriously he wan knock de girl

LG: how he gun **** de girl

AG: no but still chief (inaudible) de man say he wan knock de ting, you can arrange

How can an AG behave like this, I doubt would wether he would like that someone refer to his wife or female family  like this.........where are the women in Guyana.

AG- Admits stealing tax payers money to impregnate his wife and then paying back the money but he is still on the job.

This is the man who is supposed to be upholding the laws of the land. But we know these chaps have no interest in the law, the Ashni Singh drunk driving case is a classic example of Anil's penchant for illegality.

Ramotar’s support for Nandlall promotes Gov’t secrecy and lack of transparency – GHRA

The following is the full text of a statement from the Executive Committee of the Guyana Human Rights Association.
“The tirade of threats, coarse language, suggestions of misuse of public funds and anti-women comments by Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, during a recent telephone call to a Kaieteur News reporter, has generated public astonishment and calls for his resignation.
Almost as shocking as the incident itself, however, is the hapless defense of Nandlall by President Ramotar on the flimsy grounds that the taping of the conversation was illegal.
The failure of the President to distance the Cabinet and himself from the content of the call has effectively elevated Nandlall’s action from a personal rant to being the latest step in the increasingly desperate official response to the campaign by Kaieteur News for greater official transparency on public funds involved in a range of controversial projects.
These include the secretive government agency NICIL, ownership of the Marriott Hotel, the privileges enjoyed by the companies which benefitted from the Sanata Complex give-away; telecommunications deals and the Bai Shan Lin contract.
Efforts by Government to resist providing Parliament and the public with this information have spiralled downwards over the years. Along the way, secrecy and lack of transparency has taken its toll on a number of Government mechanisms.
These include the politically-poisoned implementation of broadcast license distribution; years of foot-dragging over establishing the Procurement Commission; appointing a Commissioner of Information who views his role more as guard-dog than gatekeeper, together with comprehensive and continuous abuse of the State-owned media.
This obsessive control of information has provoked more confrontational demands from a frustrated media, which in turn generated Government responses targetting media workers in the form of libel suits and the intervention of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
It was Kaieteur News’s retaliation to the GRA action, in questioning whether one of the relatives of the Attorney-General should not also be the focus of a similar investigation that appears to have prompted the ill-tempered telephone call.
Whether Mr. Nandlall is forced to resign or not – and the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) believes that resignation is in order – this alone will not resolve the underlying issue. At bottom this latest incident, with all its demeaning characteristics, is rooted in systematic abuse of a core element of democratic practice, namely, not accounting for the use of public funds in a transparent manner. The more fundamental question, therefore, is whether, regardless of the cost to governance and to the quality of public life, the Government intends continued resistance to provision of timely and accurate information on its stewardship of public funds.”

Startling revelations in recording…Mr. Nandlall has been caught with his pants down – AFC’s Moses Nagamootoo

The disturbing revelations by Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall, in a recorded conversation with a senior reporter

Moses Nagamootoo, AFC Vice Chairman

of the Kaieteur News, Leonard Gildarie, of a plot to launch a brutal attack on the newspaper’s publisher, Glenn Lall and his employees, have without a doubt unmasked the extent of Mr. Nandlall’s terrorist tactics.
This is the view of Vice Chairman of the Alliance For Change, Moses Nagamootoo.
An experienced journalist and parliamentarian, Nagamootoo opined that to add insult to injury, after the Attorney General admitted to having the conversation with the reporter, President Donald Ramotar came out in support of the government’s “blue-eyed boy”.
“It is a sorry day for Guyana that the President of the Republic, Donald Ramotar, could sanction such madness, and sought to protect an integrity that Anil Nandlall himself has shattered with vulgar expletives,” Nagamootoo lamented.
The parliamentarian asserted that he was particularly disturbed that Nandlall could “flippantly induce a reporter to get out while he can” and be a part of a secret consortium of the highest breed of reporters. Nandlall termed it to be “an elitist press team”.
The AFC Vice Chairman said that the AG used terrorist tactics of an imminent attack on the Kaieteur News in his bid to buy the reporter to leave what he saw as “a dangerous place”.
Nagamootoo emphasized as well that Nandlall during his 19-minute long conversation with the reporter did not request that his comments be treated as “off the record”. “In light of such negligence, the learned AG could claim no privacy or privilege,” Nagamootoo asserted.
“Mr. Nandlall has been caught with his pants down and, sadly, he has become a discredited Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs. He should call it a day, before he drags the PPP deeper into the cesspit.”
In addition, the AFC Parliamentarian said that the Minister was obsessed over a female reporter and was clearly

Anil Nandlall,
Attorney General

“trying to pimp for a third person,” whom he portrayed as a rich “bad-man”.
More disgusting, Nagamootoo said, is Nandlall’s admission that he had accessed and used government’s money for a personal purpose, which he claimed that he has since repaid.
The country’s largest Opposition bloc, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), said recently that they will be investigating this “callous betrayal and unfair misuse of state funds.”
Nagamootoo gave support for such action by APNU as he stated that eyebrows should be raised as to whether, as a senior state functionary, the AG was entitled to such funds. He emphasized that an investigation into that transaction ought to take place now.
He added, “When I read the transcript of the interview, it looked like a hoary chapter from “Murder She Wrote”. Nandlall’s depiction of an attack on Kaieteur News ought to have sent chills up the spine of even the most courageous reporter and press worker. I could only imagine big weapons, shooting up Glenn Lall and his staff, in a violent, bloody, orgy.
Nandlall, caricatured the hari-kiri, as that of “Peter paying fuh Paul” which would ensue when vengeful, unknown persons train their weapons at the Saffon Street press.”
“Mr. Nandlall is obviously intoxicated with power, or else he would have realized that innocent persons would be killed. But in an apocalyptical manner, he dismissed the blood-bath as inevitable.”
Since the damning recording, the Publisher of the Kaieteur News lodged a formal complaint with the Guyana Police Force.
The pressure for Nandlall to demit office immediately continues to increase from the citizenry as well as the joint political Opposition.
