Ramsammy the criminal confronted.........He behaved like a coward cowering in a corner....

 

Agriculture Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy was confronted about his past associations with drug dealer and phantom squad leader Roger Khan at a meeting at the Guyanese High Commission in London last night.

A nine-minute video of the event is on the FB page of self styled political activist Norman Browne who is the one addressing the meeting that Ramsammy said was called to inform the Diaspora of the current political situation.

However Browne launched a tirade against the minister saying initially that the prorogation was “a strange departure from democracy” and the no-confidence motion was brought on account of the government’s  corruption and mismanagement.

He asked why an agriculture minister was there rather than the foreign minister and then attacked Ramsammy for once “being in bed with Roger Khan”  â€œYou are a criminal! “This is a criminal!” he repeated over and over to dismay from parts of the gathering and support from others.  Ramsammy for his part was quiet throughout the verbal barrage.

The then Minister of Health was associated via New York court papers with the purchase of spy equipment back in 2002 that was used by Roger Khan to hunt down alleged criminals as part of an extra judicial killing spree.

Ramsammy is a criminal and he should be tried for murder.

 

Dr. Ramsammy refuses to clear his name from allegations

October 24, 2009 | By | Filed Under News 

By Fareeza Haniff
Now that self-confessed drug lord, Roger Khan has gone to jail in the United States, Guyana’s Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, does not see the need to visit the police station and clear his name from the many allegations leveled against him.
At a press conference yesterday at his office in Brickdam, Minister Ramsammy told reporters he did not commit any crime, and as such does not see the need to clear his name.
“The police are doing their workâ€ĶI don’t have any reasons to go clear my nameâ€Ķam I going to go to people and say that maybe I committed a crime, y’all want to check? I didn’t do nothing. So what’s the point?” the Health Minister questioned.
Dr. Ramsammy got pretty ‘worked up’ when a reporter informed him that the allegations leveled against him are of a criminal nature. He noted that allegations such as these occur on daily basis.
“Everyday the people you work with, you hear things about them of a criminal nature. I could tell y’all that I was never seen with those people (Roger Khan and his associates)â€Ķsome of y’all bosses were seen with themâ€Ķso y’all want to talk about that and investigate it? Y’all want me to show you pictures of these people?” the Health Minister said.
Dr. Ramsammy also debunked rumours that he is wanted by the US authorities. “And all these nonsense that the Americans want meâ€Ķgod damn it!! Is every other week I am in Americaâ€Ķyou ain’t think if they want me, they will get me?”
The Health Minister added that he has nothing to worry about and will only focus on serving the people of Guyana.
He challenged the media to interview the people who suffered in Guyana at the hands of criminals. At the same time also, he accused the media fraternity for not writing about or investigating political leaders who were seen meeting criminals in Buxton.
“For political leaders and other people, tapes were being played and nobody investigated and nobody called for an investigation. All I’m saying is, the same focus y’all put on some stories, put it on all stories.”
Minister Ramsammy reiterated that he has no problem if the police want to investigate him, as long as they have their facts right.
“Some of the people out there screamingâ€Ķthey got more to worry about than me and all those people staying away from parliament because of thisâ€Ķpeople elected them to do a job. They should be there doing their job and leave the police to do its (sic) work.”
Since the commencement of the Robert Simels trial (former lawyer for Shaheed Roger Khan), Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy’s name has been mentioned by the star witness, Selwyn Vaughn, as acting on behalf of the Guyana Government in providing assistance to the self confessed drug lord, Roger Khan.
Dr Ramsammy has constantly denied the allegations leveled against him. At one time during the trial, Kaieteur News had quoted the Co-founder and director of the firm that manufactures the equipment, Pert Meyers, as saying that Minister Ramsammy purchased the spy equipment.
During the course of Simels’ trial, Peter Myers told the US Federal Court in Brooklyn under oath that the intercept equipment is only sold to Governments and one set of equipment was sold by the company’s Florida sales office through the Spy Shop in Florida to the Guyana Government.
Myers identified the equipment as an intercept receiver and two laptops that were sold to the Guyana Government.
Meyers also identified Dr. Leslie Ramsammy as the purchaser of the equipment.
Defence attorney Gerald Shargel stated that the evidence shows Dr. Leslie Ramsammy authorised the purchase on behalf of the Government of Guyana.
Later in the trial, a letter surfaced bearing the letter head of the Ministry of Health with Minister Ramsammy’s signature for the purchase of the spy equipment. Ramsammy also denied ever penning the letter.

They intimidate people in Guyana, much as the Burnham regime did.  And they then are shocked when they go to the diaspora and spread lies, and people aggressively confront them.

 

The Guyana High Commission is supposed to represent ALL GUYANESE, and not just specially invited old time communists living in the nostalgia of Janet Jagan.  Their attempt to intimidate the man to shut up fell flat.

 

If a government wishes to spread lies to their diaspora then some one has a right to correct them.  I applaud this man for doing exactly that.

 

Given the majority African composition of the UK based Guyanese population and the fact that the Indians there were mainly people who are near 80 in age means that the whole premise of the meeting is suspect.  Their focus was on that age group who are still mired in the difficulties of the 60s,  so will support the PPP even if that party went Pol Pot on them.

 

Who are the fooling?  Your average Guyanese isn't even old enough to focus on Burnham much less the 60s.  And those in their 80s who never left Guyana are mainly DEAD!

No problem with that. Your PPP newspaper Mirror was happy with my contribution. And the recently elected PPP regime in 1993 invited me to be news editor of its radio station opposite Gaumont. I obliged them. They were happy.

Let's be serious now, man. I resigned because my permanent resident visa had arrived from Canada. The radio station had a farewell ceremony in my honour, with Absolut vodka flowing freely. After that the GM Fazil Azeez and I had a few more drinks at Tropicana on Waterloo Street.

APNU warns Bennâ€ĶWorks Minister will suffer consequences for unapproved spending

NOVEMBER 24, 2014 | BY  | FILED UNDER NEWS 

 
- during suspension of Parliament

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) on Saturday warned Public Works Minister, Robeson Benn that should he sign on to major infrastructure projects and spend monies unapproved by the National Assembly, he and his Ministry will be made to suffer the consequences.
Those consequences will be revealed in due time, the Opposition said.
Specifically, APNU’s Shadow Minister of Public Works, Joseph Harmon emphasized that the Minister would do well in not taking the Opposition’s warning lightly.

APNU and the Alliance For Change (AFC) had APNU made it clear since the November 10 proroguing of Parliament that any major investment Government enters during this period would be seen as being illegal. The joint opposition had said that projects would not be seen as binding and are liable to be reopened or halted.
On several instances, Public Works Minister Robeson Benn had told this newspaper that the government will continue to forge ahead with its major investment deals. He had said too that all projects signed on to by the Minister of Public Works are necessary for Guyana’s development.
Benn had also said that even if either opposition parties was to take the reins of Government at the next General Elections, they would still have to continue to pursue many of the infrastructural programs being implemented by the current administration.
He had concluded that the AFC is simply leading the APNU by its nose.
After taking note of the Minister’s comments, Harmon told this newspaper that the nation will not accept any level of arrogance from Ministers of Government. Harmon concluded that the focus on roads is merely a ploy to steal money for election spending and intended to gain votes for the PPP.
He said that road projects provide an opportunity for siphoning off of funds from public works for party political purposes.
“Citizens in communities where these works are undertaken are called upon to be vigilant and be aware that the PPP knows their days are numbered and will be trying their best to fill their pockets with the people’s money,” the Shadow Minister added.
To further cement his arguments, APNU’s Shadow Minister of Finance, Carl Greenidge stressed that such sentiments by the Public Works Minister can only be seen as “mischievous for someone who is responsible for a series of grave infrastructural calamities.”
Greenidge said that instead of spewing “disrespectful comments which show no regard for taxpayers’ monies”, Benn should ensure that the projects for which he has responsibility are in order and that they can be justified in terms of their economics and the law, which he said, has not been the case in many instances.

He emphasized that the tax-payers are not interested in whether Benn thinks the AFC is leading the APNU or the reverse.
“We know that the PPP is trying to fool the people all the time. His job is to ensure that the Timehri Airport road which is over a year behind schedule is finished expeditiously and that the fiasco that passes for four lane highways on the East Bank Demerara and the East Coast are fixed before further monies are wasted,” he asserted.
The APNU financial point man said that not only will there be a different set of projects and programmes under his coalition but those that carry the same names as programmes being pursued by the PPP will be properly put together in a manner, unlike the Skeldon Estate and the Enmore packaging plant.
“We need to and will have a bauxite smelter as soon as we get rid of this PPP regime. These projects will form part of a meaningful investment programme,” he added.
There is obvious need for a massive rehabilitation of coastal physical and economic infrastructure, he expressed. Greenidge said that the lawlessness in the award of building permits, including construction of drains and koker pathways has to stop. He opined that something is seriously wrong with a Government programme that can permit such breaches to continue for more than nine years, even as billions are being appropriated to fund emergency works on the same drainage system.
He said too that the government believes that it cannot be removed so it does not bother to remedy its mistakes. He said that more attention is being paid to awarding contracts by sole tendering. Greenidge said that this is where PPP cronies make their money and “provide finance to the decision-makers at the so-called Freedom House, a place of freedom to engage in lawlessness, kickbacks, corruption and victimization of officials and citizens public and private as is evident from the Ombudsman report on the New Building Society (NBS) case.”
According to Greenidge, the Berbice Bridge is a good case for the study in lawlessness and corruption involving the  PPP, the private sector CLICO and NBS,  which he said is complete with intimidation of and violence against public officials in the course if their duties.
The former finance minister remarked that a sitting Government cannot prevent its successor from investigating, cancelling or re-opening contracts. He said that what the Public Works Minister should be assuring the nation of is that the Opposition will be able to find the economic feasibility and related studies for all the projects, including that for the airport expansion and that for the Marriott Hotel.
He said that the Minister will have to show that the internal rates of return of the current projects on which the PPP has embarked and how they are advantageous compared with other possible options.

Capitol News played an edited version of Mr.Norman Browne remarks, the whole tape which he posted on his facebook page, members of the audience chased his out of the meeting for his disrupted  and disrespectful behavior, after he hurried leave, he brag about police being called and he's not afraid to be jail. Hallmarks of APNU goons.
