When will the Opposition contribute to Crum-Ewing fund? April 8, 2015 By GuyanaTimes Dear Editor, On March 19, a fund-raiser was launched for the children of political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing. As of April 6 (18 days later), this “education fund” totaled a measly $1.4 million. There were very few donations made, which begs the question: Were the Opposition leaders who incited supporters to protest the tragic murder of Crum-Ewing in front of the AG’s chambers doing so over real consideration for his wife and children? Or did they do so to energize a fractured political base? When will the Opposition make a meaningful contribution to the education fund setup to benefit the children of Crum-Ewing? Judging from the small list of contributors to the fund, I am convinced that this man’s tragic death was used by David Granger and Khemraj Ramjattan for political gains. At the time, Granger was in real trouble with PNC-APNU supporters in Linden, and it appeared that he may be facing an election with his main political base divided over his leadership and the rigging of the election during the PNC-APNU convention. The AFC was also in serious trouble (and still is) for joining forces with the PNC-APNU after lying to and betraying their supporters in Regions Five (Demerara-Mahaica) and Six (East Berbice-Corentyne). Moses Nagamootoo will find it almost impossible to deliver on his commitment to give Granger’s party 11 per cent of the Indian votes. And I firmly believe that when the evidence is finally known, the PPP/C will be vindicated of Crum-Ewing’s assassination, and I predict Nigel Hughes will rush to defend the criminals who killed him to prevent the Guyanese people from knowing the truth. If all of the phony protestors that gathered outside the AG’s office in the days that followed the murder had made a smaller contribution, I’m confident the total amount collected would have been significantly more. Why haven’t we seen contributions to this noble cause from the opposition ringleaders who were quick to label the murder a “political assassination”? Come on Granger, must I embarrass you and the other PNC-APNU-AFC members of Parliament to demonstrate real compassion for the children of the man who carried out your dirty work alone at considerable personal sacrifice? I expect to see the names of the Opposition members listed among the contributors. If this is done, I too will consider making a personal contribution. After all, one cannot hold innocent children responsible for the deeds of the father. Crum-Ewing was no altar boy as the Opposition wants you to believe. The truth is, from his own entries on his Facebook page, the man was an angry racist, and I challenge Dr Asquith Rose to prove me wrong. In a recent letter on March 27, the shameless Opposition moneyman and letter writer Rose wrote that our President should be “ashamed” for almost labelling “Crum-Ewing a criminal, and even suggested that the Opposition might have a hand in his death.” He called for a “national outrage and a stampede amoung Guyanese” to condemn the President’s statement. But provocateurs, the likes of Rose, have the freedom to distort what was said by our President and try to incite violence in Guyana while living in comfort and safety in the United States without facing a libel suit in the local courts. What in fact President Ramotar said was that Crum-Ewing “was no threat” to the PPP/C… he was no threat to the Government… he was a nuisance value more than anything else. He was spreading a lot of racist talk on his Facebook, and all kind of things of that nature he was doing. They put the Guyana flag on Linden “Blackie” London coffin and now they put the flag on this man Crum-Ewing who they claimed, I don’t know the motive, but they claimed that he was assassinated… political assassination.” Our President has nothing to be ashamed of, it is the Opposition that Rose supports that celebrates and defends criminals, drug dealers and money launderers. “Blackie” was in fact a criminal and a notorious fugitive who was killed by members of the Joint Services on February 8, 2000 after a fierce gun battle ensued for almost 11 hours at Eccles. At his funeral, the PNC-APNU desecrated the Guyana Flag by draping it across this criminal’s coffin. The PNC-APNU-AFC is also guilty of desecrating our national flag by draping it across Crum-Ewing’s coffin, but no one ever insinuated that this man was a criminal. He may have been a bit unstable, but there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. What I’m sure President Ramotar was referring to, was the improper usage of our national flag as defined by protocol… I hope lawmakers take note of this, and strengthen laws to protect the desecration of the Guyana Flag. Crum-Ewing did not die as a solider fighting for his country, and so it was absolutely outrageous for the Opposition Leader, a former head of our Army, to disrespect our national pride. Shame on you Granger! Harry Gill

Gerhard must serve as an example of how ruthless the demons in the AFC/PNC really are. They will not hesitate to stab their own in the back.

Jagdeo dodges questions on his wealth – limits questions from press

March 29, 2015 | By | Filed Under News 

As he hosted a press conference at Freedom House, yesterday, former President, Bharrat Jagdeo refused to answer questions on his accumulation of wealth.

Former President, Bharrat Jagdeo

Former President, Bharrat Jagdeo

 

He was also unwilling to allow more than two questions directed to him from reporters attached to Kaieteur News. Instead of giving the nation, through the media, an explanation of how he became one of the richest men in the Caribbean overnight, Jagdeo chose to swiftly navigate himself away from accountability. A reporter asked him to explain how he was able to build his mansion on his presidential salary. He was also asked how he could not have given much money to his wife—Varshnie Singh—when they spilt on the grounds that he did not have, but soon after, he could afford to build a seaside mansion, probably the most extravagant house in Guyana. But, the man who professed yesterday to be a transparent individual sidestepped the question. “I am prepared but not to Stabroek News and anyone else. I am prepared because that is what I said.” When Jagdeo and his wife split in 2007 it was hell for her to get her benefits. Up to 2009, there could have been no amicable settlement as Jagdeo kept saying he could not afford to give her much. In January of 2009, a distressed Singh told the media that “the President told me that if I don’t agree to his settlement figure of $5M, he and his government would not deal with me and the hospital project will not happen.” Singh added, “Our President says he is willing to let a judge decide what he must pay. Which Judge would

be willing to hear the case and be impartial, when the most powerful and vindictive man in the country is involved?” Jagdeo had at that time claimed that if he was to split his assets in half he could have only been able pay his ex-wife $5M. But two years later, he moved into a mansion that sits on a two-acre plot of land at Sparendaam, East Coast Demerara-the land according to Jagdeo, cost $5M per acre. Jagdeo could not have explained this yesterday. He could not tell the media if it were a case where he did not state his real wealth in 2009 or if it is that he acquired a vast amount of wealth in just about two years, without winning the lottery. Varshnie had said that Jagdeo told her she has no right to government resources. “Yet tax payers’ money is being splurged to pay for resources for his employees when they crash state cars, or need anything.” The couple was married according to Hindu rites in 1998. Singh told reporters that there were at least three attempts to register the union but Jagdeo derailed the process. Singh had noted that the law stipulates that in the division of property, a woman in a common-law marriage is entitled to a share of the property acquired during the marriage. She said her decision to go public was a last resort. “I wanted to avoid conflict because he is powerful and I am an ordinary person and even if I know I tell the truth it can be spun around.” On the division of assets, Jagdeo had told the media that the issue was jointly discussed with Singh and his lawyer and he showed her copies of his declaration of income and assets to the Integrity Commission over the period that they were together. The Opposition has time and time again made attempts to get Jagdeo to say how he acquired his wealth. Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, is on record saying that Jagdeo entered office with “nothing.” Government had heavily defended Jagdeo saying he had a right to his sprawling home. They had criticized an aerial shot of the seaside compound, which is equipped with pool and all. Jagdeo’s sale of his first home in Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara, while he was in office, for a whopping US$600,000 ($120M) had also raised eyebrows.

Who sighed what document? I am sure Mr Crum's children will be taken care of. You need not pretend you care. Were it a concern you would not be trying to pander for some political coin here on behalf of those who murdered him.
