Minister Benn’s Linden house destroyed by fire – investigations underway

whether the fire was accidental or intentional, and he hopes that investigations will pronounce with certainty, as to the cause of the fire which resulted in millions of dollars in losses.

MO FIAH SLO FIAH!!!

Bush fires are not uncommon in Linden. Especially since Benn moved out and did not attend to the weed growing out of control in the yard around the property.

fROM YOUR aPARTMENT YOU SAW ALL OF THIS???

Benn and his family moved to Georgetown, was formerly hit by a spate of thefts, the minister said. Thieves made off with appliances, furniture and eventually half of the roof, despite arrangements being put in place to secure and check on the property.

Bush is responsible for the thieving?

Benn suggested this when he stated that it was brush fire...obviously he did not upkeep the place

I am from Linden and know the score. Unless of course the PPP burned the place down in order to blame the opposition.

The same way they kill Courtney and blame it on the PNC???

You said it.

Mith, if Courtney was an MP of APNU, you think the matter would have been silent so quick? Courtney outlived his useful purpose for APNU and life goes on.

Cobra..wha wrong with you bhai...hang over

Courtney was a private citizen. Sat Sawh was a PPP/C Minister and an honest person.

This is just awful. Just a crying shame. Why didn't they hogtie Benn and some of his colleagues, put them inside, and then set the house on fire? That would have accomplished something.

dummy you know nothing about guyana,any body that leave their house empty it will get vandalize 

now you talking

"The house, which was unused since early 2006 after Minister Benn and his family moved to Georgetown, was formerly hit by a spate of thefts, the minister said. Thieves made off with appliances, furniture and eventually half of the roof"

Abandoned property anything can happen.

you can have people living on your property and people will still steal 

Did any Govt records get burnt?

Watch out for fires on May 12, the way the old PNC burnt things in 1992.

Brindley Benn was a wealthy man this is may be one of several houses that the Benn family own.

No the PPP is responsible because they think that hiring mercenaries, instead of improving the effectiveness of the police force and the courts is what they need to do.

I am sorry for the loss the Hon Minister and his family suffered from this fire.

Hopefully he had some form of insurance, if not then is loss from his pocket.

All the best Minister.

YUh planning something??? I hope the FBI watching.

UNCALLED FOR!!!

I am not condoning hooliganism, but that is what you get for leaving your house unprotected. It happens all over the world.  It is not political.

Rama sounds like an insurance claims adjuster

I respectfully disagree here., It's quite called for. The criminal negligence that the PPP has inflicted on Guyana, especially the Indian population is unforgivable.

Any other people would have seized them and put them to the sword already by revolution.

Tell me one place where a Government would be allowed to preside over the decimination of the population through out of control crime, political violence, and wholesale neglect. The tiefin is the least of my worries about the PPP. The tiefin only bothers me insofar as that is all they seem to have an aptitude for.

...and Sober!!
