Guyanese have lost any trust they had in the AFC
COUNSELLING needs to be provided to the women and children, who will be scarred for life, after being exposed to the awful image of the naked AFC councillor.Old Kai is counting the days since AFC Region 2 councillor Nait Ram alleged that he was stripped naked by the Police but to date no evidence to support his claim has been provided. Eight days have passed since the incident, seven days since Kaieteur News printed the article, with an image of the naked councillor posing for the cameras in the presence of women and children but alas, it appears that of all media houses, Kaieteur News is not interested in following up this story. This is a newspaper which usually does week long features on issues it believes it can use to attack and undermine the Government and other arms of the State, especially the Guyana Police Force but the story of the naked AFC councillor has apparently gone cold. It is clear that they are finding it hard to uncover anything of substance, which could explain the silence from the usual suspects and Opposition front groups who relish any opportunity to attack the State. Why have certain sections of the media suddenly gone silent on this most serious allegation by the AFC councillor after all they always claim they are interested in pursuing the truth? Why have they not requested images of the actual incident of him being stripped by the Police from those who were present during the protest and took out the image of the posing naked councillor? Why have they not interviewed eyewitnesses and documented their statements on how Nait Ram became undressed? Surely the women and children present at the protest would be scared for life at the awful sight of the AFCβs naked councillor and if the βrights groupsβ are not concerned, then I think the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, inclusive of its Child Protection Agency should intervene and provide counselling for the traumatised victims. This is a very serious allegation as were the Police actually guilty of such an act, the repercussion would have been severe. Are these media houses, the individuals who pretend to be the moral conscience of our society and the rights groups telling us by their silence that it is ok for the AFC and its councillor to strip naked and traumatise witnesses and then to top it off, make untrue statements by laying the blame at the Police? This was s a nasty effort at destroying the image of the Guyana Police Force. Old Kai expects that the AFC councillor should face charges, not only for making defamatory and untrue statements but also for public exposure/indecency. When you have these AFC leaders who were playing up this incident on the social media so as to create outrage, it illustrates the lengths they will go, which include deliberately subverting the truth. By this action, they now further bring into question several other incidents, including the Colwyn Harding affair which they had also used to create public outrage. The AFC leadership has confirmed once again, why they can never be trusted by their own membership and the Guyanese public. The nation cannot endure this devious behaviour much longer. The party by its actions confirms that it is a divisive force in society and its ultimate objective is obvious. If they continue along this line, more and more of their members will continue to flee but it appears they are dead set in their ways. In the meantime, Old Kai is still waiting on the AFC to produce those images of their councillor being stripped; failure to do so should automatically result in a public apology to the Guyana Police Force and the entire nation.
