Nigel Hughes is not above the law
TO STOP all this back and forth, which the public is disgusted of, laws must be passed so that those who hold political office must not take on private and personal court cases.
Lawyers who want to try cases in court must give up parliamentary office so that their commitment to the nation and their integrity should be actualized. Political lawyers will only take on cases that will gain them political mileage.Then when PNC-supporting police and power-drunk unethical leaders wrong citizens, the innocent taxpayers will pay for these political lawyers’ parliamentary wages and their awards many benefits too.
You bet your life if Hughes were not into politics, he could never assemble a mob as he did on Agricola Public Road. During these rampages, during which innocent people were beaten, robbed, injured and sexually molested, the law never saw it fit to bring the masterminds to trial, because of their political connections.
Being politicians, lawyers such as Nigel Hughes, Moses Nagamootoo and Khemraj Ramjattan seem immune from the law. One fact that has been established is that Nigel Hughes did tamper with evidence at a murder scene in Buxton.
In the “Roaring Twenties”, Al Capone ruled an empire of crime in the Windy City: gambling, prostitution, bootlegging, bribery, narcotics trafficking, robbery, “protection” rackets, and murder. And it seemed that law enforcement couldn’t touch him.
It was widely rumoured that Capone had ordered the brutal murders of seven gangland rivals in the infamous “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre”, but federal lawmen could not get involved. Why? The killings weren’t a federal offence.Less than two months later, Capone was arrested in Philadelphia by local police for carrying concealed weapons, and was sent to jail for a year.
In the interim, Federal Treasury agents had been gathering evidence that Capone had failed to pay his income taxes. Capone was convicted, and on October 24, 1931, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. When he finally got out of Alcatraz, Capone was too sick to carry on his life of crime. He died in 1947.
Mr. Khurshid Sattaur has himself verified publicly that Hughes has evaded paying millions of dollars in taxes.Well, again, I will say it is the Government that is making Nigel Hughes the Capone of Guyana. Mr. Sattaur has the goods on Nigel Hughes, but failed to bring him to trial, just like the police failed to bring Nigel Hughes to trial for evidence tampering.
Government must remember always that seven million Jews were exterminated, but Hitler himself didn’t kill any of those innocent people. However, had he not died, Hitler would have been brought to trial and had his neck broken for crimes against humanity.Is it not a crime against humanity for a lawyer and politician to instigate and assemble a mob to carry out military- style locking down of a major public road then proceed to beat and injure, then rob and sexually molest one ethic group of people? And while crooked lawyers literally get away with committing the most heinous of crimes, a teenage babysitter was jailed for five years for attempting to strangle a baby. Where is the equality of Guyana’s justice system?
