Why is a 90 year old still working when he should be at home resting?

Can the PPP/C regime bring Guyana any lower than this?

My thought exactly. May he rest in peace.

How much pension was he receiving and with the Cost of Living, how long would it last?

How many more Adlophus's are out there?

When a president of a country states on record that he is fed-up with the old people, then anything could happen to the Elderly. It's so sad that this man had to die like this. No doubt he did not want to go out on the streets and beg for his daily bread, but rather earn it by the sweat of his brow. The Old Age Pension is good only for one week. May his soul rest in peace.

Di maan cyant mek it pun NIS pension, remember, den gafa save foa prezzy big pension, denn "if" dem win, Pfatt bai pension coming. Long life the PPP.

Many senior persons are given a shotgun and hired to be night watchman, for the wealthy in Guyana.
I often wonder how these people will stand up to a young person with an automatic weapon.
It would seem a very risky way to make a living, but like some emetioned here, either work or die from lack of food.

Kill you self trying to make a living.

People in the US work passed their retirement age, and it's not against the law. What's your point again?

Cobra, how many people do you personally know still working at the age of 90?

You certainly seem to have a penchant for the criminals by your posts.

I know too many to mention. What is the retirement age in Canada? If it's 65 and over you too should be retired. Cain?

Banna, I have a looooooooong time before I reach 65. I do not believe you when you said that you know many who are working in their 90th year, you're full of it.

I believe you and shame on your PPP for not adquately providing for these seniors.

What can a 90 year old do if he is ever confronted in a break in?

What about your president who stated and it is on record that he is fed-up with the old people?

I was not thinking he knew 90year olds working in Guyana, I thought of where he's residing.
In this case, 90 year olds working in Guyana, yes it could be quite true.
What a bloody shame.

Maybe these are the "working class people" albert constantly speaks about, eh?

Mitwah, why do you used an old man who chose to work to shoot political points? It's an unfortunate situation when someone dies. The man could have had a heart attack and died, and you jumping all over the PPP.

Do you think he chose to work? The guy probably had no relatives willing to send remittances.

It shows an act of desperation as the AFC creeps now using people's personal tragedies to score political points or so they think. These fools must believe that the Guyanese public are stupid to buy their snake oil. ahahhahaha

I am glad that this upsets you.

Do you agree with the President who stated and it is on record that he is fed-up with the old people ?

Is the pension adequate for our senior citizens?

How does their old age pension compares to Jagdeo's pension package?

As you coil up under your rock, reflect on what the poor and the down trodden seniors have to endure under your thieves and narco facilitators.

The old pensioner had to work because he could not live on $7,500 from the PPP Govt.

However, Jagdeo will get $3 Million a month for life.

What is wrong if an old man wishes to work passed his retirement age? This is the norm for many old folks who want to stay active. The AFC wants to score points for every shitting thing.

i guess you see it, his choice to work to death or starve to death. Take your pick, right. Great line from a so-called socialist regime. No wonder the USSR, Cuba, China keep their distance. No one seem to know exactly what yoy (PPP) represent.

Cobra, why you keeping company wid dem PPP mongooses or is it mongeese?

Death of 90-yr-old guard being treated as murder – Persaud
By CSpringer - Editor Breaking News. Wednesday, September 14, 2011.

Crime Chief Seelall Persaud said this afternoon that the death of 90-year-old security guard Adolphus James is now being treated as a murder after a post-mortem examination revealed that he died as a result of brain haemorrhage and compression injury to the neck. The PME was conducted today.
Persaud said that no one has yet been held before pointing out that it is only now that ranks have determined that the Yuraballi Street, Retrieve, Mackenzie, Linden resident was murdered.

Asked about motive, he said that a place next door to where James was working the night shift was broken into and a number of items were reported missing. Persaud told Stabroek News that it is suspected that the elderly man might have witnessed the break in and was subsequently killed.

James who had been employed at the Amazon Security Firm since 1993 was discovered dead around 6 am at consumers’ goods complex at Linden. This discovery was made by a female security guard who went in search of him after not seeing him in the guard hut.

Initially persons said that they suspected that the elderly man might have tripped and fallen; hitting his head on one of the many cement rocks at the back of the building.

This is really sad. The man was 90 not out only to be murdered.

Cobra at first I thought he died on the job from natural cause. It's now treated as a homicide. You PPP kind beleives and it's on record here that dead man tells no tales. Shame on you PPP/C types.

How does his pension compares to Jagdeo's pension package? It's a shame on the PPP/C that he is forced to earn a living.

The killing of Adolphus James is an indictment of our society
By STABROEK STAFF | LETTERS | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011

Dear Editor,

The killing of 91-year-old Mr Adolphus James, the Linden security guard while on duty is an indictment of our entire society. It is criminal that a Guyanese of such advanced age had to work a night shift to eke out a subsistence life.

As we Guyanese celebrate and salute a President who has rewarded himself with one of the world’s most generous post-retirement pension packages equivalent to millions of tax-free dollars while still in his forties, let us not forget that the pay which the Jagdeo administration considers adequate for a guard working an eight-hour shift is $800 per shift.

And as the Minister of Human Services, Ms Priya Manickchand and the Minister of Labour, Mr Manzoor Nadir join with the country’s most famous Bishop to celebrate Mr Jagdeo, my hope is that they will spare a moment to reflect on the struggles which Mr James endured until his last moments as he laboured for his living and his life.

Yours faithfully,
Christopher Ram

Does the PPP have a heart to care, they are too busy living off the taxpayers money.

Slain guard, 91, laid to rest
By STABROEK STAFF | LOCAL | THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2011

Slain Linden guard Adolphus James, 91, was laid to rest at the Bamia Cemetery on the Linden Soesdyke Highway yesterday after a simple but emotional service at the Mackenzie United Mission Church, where his family blamed his employer for his death. James, of Yuraballi Street, Retrieve, Mackenzie Linden, was found dead at the back of the Consumers’ Goods Complex building at Linden on September 12, 2011. The discovery was made by a female security guard who went in search of him after not seeing him in the guard hut. It was believed that the elderly security guard might have tripped and hit his head on one of many cements rocks that were at the back of the building, however a post-mortem examination found that he was strangled and died of haemorrhaging in the brain.


Mourners carry the casket with 91-year-old Adolphus James to his final resting place. Inset is a photo of close family members.

“Mr Forrester I spoke with you and I told you that I was mad with you and I want you to know that I am still mad with you and hope would are able to carry this cross,” said one of the man’s daughters at the funeral service. The family is still to have a closed meeting with the security company boss and intends to engage the police at Linden for information as to the progress of the investigations. Family members said that the security firm cannot run away from responsibility, since they are convinced that the elderly James was left to work the night shift alone.

In a previous interview, owner of the Amazon Security firm Ewart Forrester had said he was surprised at the findings of the post-mortem exam. He added that at the scene, there were no indications that the man might have been murdered. He had also said that the man was accompanied by other guards between the hours of 6 pm and 8 pm and again from some time after midnight to approximately 4 am. Forrester, among others, spoke highly of James. He was described as the father, close friend and inspiration to his colleagues and others whom he came into contact with. Director of the Consumers’ Goods Complex, where the man was working at the time of his demise, said that he was very committed and thorough with his work. “Religiously, ‘Daddy James’ would check every door when he came on duty and if there was anything wrong he would wait until I come in no matter how late to give me the report,” she said.

Despite his age, James was remembered by most persons as agile, with humility and passion for his work that outweighed his younger peers. He was employed with the Amazon Security and Investigation Services for over 18 years up until his death.
