Eusi Kwayana was a founder of the PPP. He wrote the PPP anthem "O Fighting Men" which party members still sing at congresses.

Disagree or not with his politics, Kwayana has integrity and commands widespread respect.

Stabroek News today has a letter from Eusi Kwayana. I'm posting a portion here. Please read and see how the PPP has double standards regarding arms and ammo, and how the PPP violates laws in police stations and courts. Here is Eusi Kwayana:

"In 1997, after the premature declaration of the PPP’s Mrs Jagan as the President, there was tension in the city. Not long after, the Stabroek News reported that the police had found a sizeable cache of firearms and ammunition at the home and premises of a PPP activist in a particular place. I was disappointed that no charges followed and decided to file a private prosecution against the suspect.

When the matter was called, it was attorney Mr Ronald Gajraj who appeared for the defendant. (He later had to withdraw when he became Minister of Home Affairs.)

My filing was faulty, and I withdrew it, to the other side’s relief. However, I sought fresh advice and brought the case again. When I filed again, the Magistrate was most unhelpful. Week after week my witness summonses remained not served. Then His Worship finally advised me to serve the summonses myself. I knew he was wrong but I bowed and went through the motions. I gave him no chance to accuse me of contempt, or use my argument to strike the case off his list.

Before the next hearing, a senior member of the Bar and retired judge saw me at a funeral and asked me whether I needed help. I readily accepted. On entering appearance, he argued, “I have looked at the provisions in law. The complainant had done everything that he needs to do.” The Magistrate only then ordered the proper officer to serve the summonses. (It was no longer my duty.) When the hearing began strange things came to light.

1. The Assistant Superintendent who had led the raid on the PPP suspect’s home and premises testified nervously about the raid and the discovery. However he fearfully reported fewer weapons than actually seized. He did his duty while hoping not to offend too much.

During this testimony, it became known to all present that the page of the Property Book with the list of items seized had gone for a walk. It was magically missing from the big ledger.

Further questioning showed that, in the ripping, only the page on the left side of the middle spread, page 42, had been removed, leaving the page 43 on the right side intact. The ripping had been bungled.

1. The next witness, a Deputy Superintendent, read aloud, and the complainant copied the text of a note on page 43. It was the copy of an order an order from the Commissioner of Police for a named officer to “escort” the arms and ammunition found on the suspect’s premises to his office at Eve Leary, Georgetown.
2. At the very next hearing of the case, there was confusion in the court. The Property Book, all of it, had disappeared, escaped from lawful custody. The importance of the ledger did not matter. It was the right-hand page with the strange order that had to be unavailable. This was five years after 1992 and “the return of democracy” with a PPP victory.
3. The Magistrate adjourned the matter. He devoted several sittings to an inquiry into the disappearance of the Property Book. The mystery remained unsolved.
4. The Magistrate next told the defendant that there was no evidence against him and dismissed the case. There is a puzzling and troubling factor. It is the attitude to the Gajraj Commission into an alleged link between Minister Gajraj and a series of extra-judicial killings. The commission’s report lamented the fact that the loudest complainers failed to appear before the commission! The complainers even failed to engage a lawyer to expose the strange murder of George Bacchus, and probe the testimonies of the first whistle-blower in the episode. Only Commissioner Keith Massiah’s minority comments remarked that the evidence cast doubt on the Minister’s integrity.

   There were and are justified calls for an inquiry into extra-judicial killings since 2005. I am one supporter. Who will appear as witnesses?"

Remember for the police force THINGS DON'T CHANGE: MONEY TALKS. SHOW ME THE MOOLAH AND WE GON DO SOME GOOD BISNESS. SAME SHIT DIFFERENT DAY. They can even sell you unlicensed guns. They will remain a corrupt force throughout our lifetime.
