Ramjattan must take full responsibility – Rohee

 

Police storming of Parliament

…as President blames PPP for ruckus

Former Home Affairs Minister and Opposition Member of Parliament (MP), Clement Rohee, has cast blame on his successor Khemraj Ramjattan for allowing a matter that didn’t require the Police presence to be blown out of proportion in the Parliament Chambers on Monday.
Rohee said as the Minister who has responsibility for the Guyana Police Force

President David Granger

(GPF), Ramjattan may have been responsible for calling in the Police and he thinks the Minister should therefore bear full responsibility for the assault on both the male and female Opposition MPs.
“As long as it was not a criminal offence, neither the Speaker nor the Clerk of the National Assembly have the authority to call on the Commissioner of Police(ag) to take action in a matter at the Chambers of the Parliament. The decision to call in the Police had to be taken at a political level in which the Minister of National Security must have been involved,” the former Minister alleged.
Rohee argued only that Minister has the legal authority to give ‘general orders and

directions’ to the Commissioner of Police (ag) who in turn, given his ‘command of the Force’ would issue orders to the Commander ‘A’ Division of GPF to proceed to the Parliament to ‘deal’ with the situation therein.
The Opposition MP said based on these theories, there is absolutely no mystery about how the Police got involved in the events on Monday at the Chambers of the Parliament.
“It was Ramjattan’s call to the Commissioner of Police (ag) that gave rise to the arrival of Police ranks at the senior and junior levels at the Chambers of Parliament. In the circumstances, therefore it is Ramjattan who must take full responsibility for the gross, brutal and highly unprofessional assault by junior ranks of the GPF on the women parliamentarians of the Republic of Guyana,” he alleged.
More importantly, Rohee claimed that it was blatantly obvious that the ranks were

unprepared, if not totally untrained to deal with the situation obtaining at that time in the Parliament Chambers. He observed that there were no female among the Police ranks present who allegedly assaulted the women MP’s in what he described as “brutish efforts” to extricate MP Edghill from his seat.
“The orders given by a rank of the Force to attack the circle of both male and female MPs supporting MP Edghill is tantamount to gross misconduct and a breach of the Standing Orders of the GPF,” he added.
The former Minister said the women MPs who were allegedly assaulted had sought medical attention and now has in their possession medicals from certified and registered physicians to prove their claims of physical assault and injuries caused by ranks of the GPF.
“And whose presence can only be explained by the instructions issued to the Commissioner of Police (ag) by Ramjattan as the Minister who has responsibility for the Guyana Police Force and who in the final analysis must bear full responsibility,” the Opposition MP added.

Unprecedented
Providing his view on what took place in the Parliament Chambers on Monday, President David Granger was quick to cast full responsibility on the Opposition without giving a full analysis of the issue.
While he condemned the action, the President’s focus was only on Edghill whom he claimed displayed a vulgar behaviour. He said the Opposition Parliamentarians’ behaviour was also unprecedented. “It was a very poor display on the part of Mr Edghill and his colleagues to demonstrate to the public and to our children that the honourable House should be the scene of such a disorderly show,” he opined. Granger said the same respect given to him, or the Chancellor of the Judiciary, should also be given to the Speaker of the House who is the head of the legislative arm of the Government.
“I can’t imagine that the Speaker should be faced with that type of vulgarity… the head of the legislative branch (of Government) must be treated with respect,” the President declared.
However, the President did not address the other issues which saw Police ranks entering the Chambers of Parliament and attempting to arrest Opposition MP Juan Edghill.
The President said he is opened to meeting with Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo to address any concern that would address any issues that they might be facing as an Opposition.
The Opposition has repeatedly stated it is disappointed with the manner in which the Speaker, Dr Barton Scotland, who is perceived to be bias, handled the matter.
While the Speaker has denied calling in the Police to have the elected Opposition MP removed, it has been reported that the Speaker may have passed that instruction.
The Opposition feels that even if its MP broke the Standing Order the issue could have been dealt with properly to avoid it to escalate to the point it did on Monday.
Following the incident with Edghill on Monday, the MP was suspended for four days.

Police should never be touching parliamentarians inside the House of Assembly. They could have waited patiently for Edghill outside and arrest him when he exited. He could not sleep in parliament that night.

Ramjatan was the one who called the police.  He should be dis-barred for not knowing the laws of Parliament.

Did you know the laws of parliament before the story turns to Ramjattan? Since last Monday, the rukus took many twists and turns and the end is not yet near. You keep dismissing every Tom, Dick,and Harry as you read the news from one day to the next. Keep on impressing who seems impressed.

The PNC thinks an opposition is not needed in the parliament today.  Why allow them to question the 2018 budget?  Just use the speaker to frustrate them when to they question.

You missed the PPP vulgarity in the house.

With their minds deeply attached to worldly pleasures and their intellects bewildered by such things, they  (The Yugies) are unable to possess the resolute determination for success on the path to God.

You're limiting your perspective but that's your right.

When I was a PPP activist in Guyana I used to read the PNC NEW NATION newspaper. Jagan read it too. And Burnham read the PPP MIRROR.

I am a firm believer is suing and taking these types of matters to the courts.

The PPP should file a class action lawsuit against the Police force and Ramjattan.

Let the chips fall where it may. Dragging someone or a group of individual to the courts to seeking justice works 100 percent of the time provided that you hire a well respected law firm.

I have listened to stories people tell of the struggle to pay for lawsuits, their Insurance coverage was not enough.

I have never believed in getting rich by suing,we know the Insurance Company pays,sometimes it comes back to bite you.

When in Guyana, I read one pro government and one anti government newspaper. In addition I listen to radio news. I know that somewhere in between is the truth.

Currently Guyana got so much News Media for a small country,it's confusing who to believe.Anyway it's good for Democracy.

I successfully sued one company. Big boys play with big toys. You must have deep pockets to engage in big fights. 

That is why if you are wronged then you have the legal right to seek justice in courts.

Money talks and BS walks.

Priya has a very strong case to take some of them to the cleaners.

I know top Lawyers in the State i reside, in any winning Lawsuits, you don't have to fork out lawyer fees,they take a percentage from the sum awarded.

Go tell the deep pocket story  to some fools.

If you want to talk about religion meet me at the Religious forum and please do not include the DEVIL and Crooked Anti Man Ramjattan's name in any regions discussion. You are making a total fool of yourself.

How dare you quote Bhagavad Gita when you as a Hypocrite called it Mythology ?

Get a life.

Hypocrite,  you have no shame. You are worse than Trump mocking that reporter with a disability. You know diddly squat about the teachings of Krishna. What is Dharmic about your mockery of another person's infirmity?

Show me where I call BG, Mythology. I recall that I told you that your story of Drupadi was mythology inserted by your astute Brahmin fore-parents for the purpose of danam.
