Guyana Miner Kills Self After Fatally Shooting 4 GEORGETOWN, Guyana November 13, 2013 (AP) By BERT WILKINSON Associated Press Associated Press A gold miner fatally shot four people, including two police officers, before apparently killing himself after a shooting rampage Tuesday in Guyana's coastal capital. Deryck Kanhai, 51, barricaded himself in his second-story apartment above a taxi company in the afternoon and began randomly firing bullets into two streets in Georgetown, police said. The shots killed a woman and a man before police officers arrived, authorities said. Kanhai then fatally shot two officers during a more than two-hour standoff. Kanhai, a licensed gun holder, might have finally ended the standoff by fatally shooting himself, but the cause of his death was still under investigatioin, authorities said. A shotgun and two pistols were recovered by police Terrified people hid inside businesses and homes as dozens of shots were exchanged between the shooter and police on Middle Street, one of Georgetown's main commercial centers. Tear gas canisters were also used by police. The motive for the shooting rampage was unclear. Police said only that Kanhai had "apparently gone berserk." The Guyana Police Force offered condolences to the relatives of the two slain officers and the two dead civilians. Guyana, a country of nearly 800,000 inhabitants, is on South America's northern shoulder and roughly 90 percent of its people lives along the coast. Gold mined in the remote interior is the leading export.

His gun should have been confiscated after in 2010 he shot himself, probably he bribed the PPP/C for him to keep his guns today five are dead.
Blame the PPP/C

AFC councillor details widespread corruption within party

By AFC Region 6 Councillor Haseef Yusuf
AFC Councillor, Haseef Yusuf
Nothing that the Alliance For Change (AFC) does or will do in the future will ever surprise me again. There is a saying that you only know someone when you deal with him. If I had not dealt with certain executive members of the AFC, I would still be singing their praises.I knew from the inception that Nigel Hughes would rescind his resignation because in the end, when you are in the same boat, you will never want to part company with your compadres. The âtop gunsâ in the AFC need each otherâs support badly. They complement each otherâs corrupt practices, as they try to outsmart their members and supporters.
However, recently there was a desperate attempt to get rid of me by the National Executive Committee of the AFC since I am not part of the corrupt âjahaajiâ network. They sent a message with an AFC Region 6 Councillor that if I am not pleased with the current policies and actions of the party then I should resign from the party and as an AFC Councillor. I told that Councillor in no uncertain terms that if the AFC is not pleased with my stance against cronyism and corruption and my promotion of national development, then they should expel me and furthermore, it is the corrupt ones within the AFC who should resign!
Ironically, it was the same Councillor who submitted exhaustive evidence of cronyism and corruption against an AFC MP at an inquiry, who claimed that he spent in excess of $4.5M on âbiganâ and âcurassâ. That was a âwhitewash inquiryâ and even the Chairman of that inquiry, the then General Secretary Mr Sextus Edwards, was not aware of the press release which concluded that the entire episode was one of âmisunderstanding and miscommunication.â You cannot go against your own kind!
Subsequently, there was numerous evidence of corruption but I no longer have the resolve to bring it up. It was simply a case of you cannot fight the Devilâs case in Hell!
I will just itemize a few instances:
- Certain top members of the AFC will go abroad (Canada, USA) and members in the diaspora will hold fund- raisers and give monies collected to these members who will not submit the same in its entirety since proper accounting records are not kept. I was utterly shocked when the unaudited financial statement for 2012 showed that in one year the AFC only collected $22,087,500 from its chapters in the UK, Canada, USA, etc. During the 2011 campaign alone; one of the chapters in Canada sent $55,000 Canadian or $11,000,000 (Guyana dollars). I have evidence of this.
- Certain top AFC members will collect donations and not make any recordings in any receipt book or any document whatever.
- Monies are being spent with no proper bills or vouchers;
- positions are given to cronies and those who donate a lot.
- I saw a top AFC member collect monies and issue a receipt but on looking closer I saw that there was no carbon sheet, hence no duplication made. How was the balancing done?
- Everything was donated for a fund-raiser in Berbice and it made a loss!
- On Election Day 2011, food and drinks were diverted to some AFC membersâ homes for their private use while some AFC polling agents went hungry;
- During the 2012 AFC convention, a motion was passed for AFC groups to bank all monies collected in a party account, this was never done. In fact, it was I who raised that motion which was unanimously passed. So much for accountability!
- During the 2011 elections there were three factions in Berbice and all were accusing each other about theft, mismanagement and corruption, but no investigation was done. The leaders of the AFC cannot afford to ârock the boat.â
- During the AFC 2012 convention, members were specifically instructed not to vote for the former General Secretary but to vote in favour of David Patterson. This also happened in the case of Moses Nagamootoo and Mrs. Punalall.
- Article 15(9) of the AFC Constitution stated that the National Executive Committee shall appoint an auditor annually yet the AFC presented an unaudited and inaccurate financial statement at the AFC 2012 Convention. There is no shortage of accountants and auditors within the AFC, so why no audited accounts?
- The financial statement which ended on February 2012 showed a surplus of $464,643 yet members were told after the 2011 Elections that the AFC owed Mrs Cathy Hughes a sum in excess of $ 7,000,000 and that the AFC MPs will have to make contributions towards offsetting that liability. How can there be a surplus when monies are owed? In other words, there were no bills to support the spending of $ 7 million! The financial statement did not speak of any liability! Here is a party that is preaching accountability but is utterly devoid of that concept in its internal dealings.
Is this the party that wants to run this country? It seems as if the worst from the PNC and PPP formed the AFC; not the best as I had believed! Mr Ramjattan himself told me that if the AFC had won the elections, there would have been âmurderationâ among members for positions. But it would have also been âmurderationâ to fill their pockets! Imagine all the political blackmail that is going on now with the intention to fill some of the AFCâs âfat catsâ pockets! Come on Ramjattan, make the âright turnâ or resign! You cannot allow your âboysâ to continue their corrupt tendencies! But then can you afford âto rock the boatâ?
Is it wrong for me to speak out about the very things the AFC is preaching in public about? Should I keep my mouth shut, turn a blind eye and pretend that all is well within my party?
I believe in what the Great Mahatma preached- do not be afraid to speak out against corruption even if you are alone. History will judge and absolve me for speaking out against cronyism and corruption within my party. I will have to clean my house before I clean my neighbourâs. Let us remove the âbeamâ from our own eyes then we can see to remove the âspeckâ from our brotherâs.
