Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan

– all crimes warrant serious attention, says Public Security Minister

PUBLIC Security Minister, Khemraj Ramjattan said everyone should be concerned about all categories of crime. Ramjattan was, at the time, responding to comments by Commissioner of Police, Leslie James, who, two Fridays ago, said he was not necessarily bothered about the crime situation.

“We should all be concerned about petty crime and big time crime and middle crime… whatever the crime,” the Public Security Minister said.
Ramjattan then sought to suggest that the comments of the top cop might have been misrepresented but was assured that the comments were a true representation of what the commissioner said.

“That is probably not the best and wisest of words in the context, especially knowing that you have Mr. Smith who is going to come and jump on you like you are jumping on me on this issue,” the minister said.

The police commissioner had said, “I am not necessarily bothered because I am saying that there are a few sensational crimes that are occurring ok; but we noted there might have been a spike but I am saying that in terms of serious crimes at the moment, we have a minus 3.4 per cent in serious crimes generally.” He gave the response when asked about the crime situation.

Responding to this comment, the minister said: “Ok, well good, crimes of all categories, we must all be concerned about, but what I am saying here is not to be used as contradicting; oh, minister fighting down the commissioner for a remark he made; that is what you press people feel you can do all the time,” the security minister said Thursday
Over the last few weeks, there have been a number of crimes, especially on unsuspecting persons. The Commissioner of Police did, however, assure reporters that the Force is addressing this issue.

Today, the Guyana Police Force Administration would be unveiling security measures for the upcoming Christmas season.

Michael Kingston is an idiot.

35% spike in murders recorded but serious crime down

Ramjattan, James & Kingston seem to be clueless of what is going on around them. First Ramjattan suggested that James' comments may have been misrepresented and when it was clarified that they weren't, he tried to blame the media for having the tendency to ask questions which James may not have been prepared for so James gave an ill-advised response. But while James seemed to be trying to minimize the concern over the 35% increase in murders by stating that serious crimes (whatever that is when murder is included in the discussion) were down 3.4%. However Kingston stated that serious crimes were down 2.5%

Coalition incompetence at a premium.

Wonder how Ramjattan would classify this crime? Old people behaving like animals.

As I've said before, we need not be so harsh on Khemraj. The poor chap doesn't have a clue on how to remedy crime. It would be best for him and the Nation to step down and give someone else a shot. Someone who's more enthusiastic and up to the challenge.

I agree. This current cabal lacks energy. Ramjattan always look like he has no joy waking up in the morning. Many of his compatriots look clueless on what they are supposed to be doing and even at the top, Granger looks half dead.

Banna, it’s a “middle” crime!!

These type on things has been happening for a long time. Happens in every society. It’s difficult to preempt. The best form of prevention is how you deal with those caught!

Unfortunately this case is before that foolish judge who displayed a gross lack of language and math understanding so she may not recognize that the child's age is 16 or that it is statutory rape.
