This eye pass on our people must end. PNC never cared for the welfare or safety of Indos in Guyana. Shame on the PNC !!

Too much info is given out here by the News media. They are telling other bandits and Copy Cats how lucrative are the bootees and advertising how much money people may carry at home. They are even describing how to terrorize and how to inflict pains. 

Freedom of the press, Mit.  Are you thinking there should be curtailment in that area? A free press is essential for democracy? Why not ask where was the police?

Don’t know what Jagdeo can do to solve that, it happened under the PPP watch also.  Crime is paying.

I believe people need to start installing more security cameras around and the government should help launch some image capture backup so police can access and retrieve images from remote storage!  It’s after the fact however, these rings will be broken up faster.

There needs to be a public/private partnership between the community and police.  

Use technology more, it’s there and not expensive.  It’s not political.

I agree with freedom of the press for democracy. What we have in Guyana are Tabloids not News Papers; but Yellow Journalism.

Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a US term for a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers.^[1] Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion. Source: Wikipedia

The media must respect itself

Jan 27, 2018

Source

The media must not allow itself to be used. There are a number of state agencies which host events and which would like those events to be covered by the media. As such, they dispatch invitations for coverage but want to control what aspects are covered by the media.
This is exactly what happened with the Annual Officers’ Conference of the Guyana Defence Force. The media was invited to cover the opening of the conference but in reality what the GDF wanted was only coverage of the President’s address.
This is insulating practice by many state organisations which want media coverage but only for specific purposes. The media, however, do not wish to be so controlled and so they rebel against it.
The grouse in the relation to the Annual Officers’ Conference of the GDF was that the media turned up on time, were put to wait and by the time they were allowed to cover the opening, the main speaker, the President had already begun to speak. Therefore they felt insulted and left.
The media is not blameless. They have allowed themselves to be manipulated. Part of the problem with the media is that they have become extremely reliant on press releases issued by the government. They rewrite these releases and carry them as news rather than covering the event.
The Ministry of the Presidency and the Department of Public Information, formerly the Government Information Agency (GINA), issue releases almost daily about public engagements of the President and Ministers. The media does not always cover all of these events since they have grown accustomed to rewriting the government official releases.
The whole thing has become something of a joke. The Ministry of the Presidency reports on even the most trivial of meetings held by the President. These events become photo-opportunities which are then sent out to the media which seem all too satisfied to carry them, without any consideration given to the fact that they should be covering those events.
As such, the media has become dependent on releases. This is the basis of many of their stories on the government. A certain degree of dependency is developing. Journalists have become lazy and many are content on regurgitating the releases issued by the government.
The government is smart enough to recognise this condition. It knows that many media operatives are lazy and are just waiting to gobble up their releases rather than go out there and get their own stories. So the state media spoon feeds many of the private media houses, making them reliant and dependent on what the government releases.
It is the same situation with the opposition. The opposition is using the media to get its positions over. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it is now become something of a practice in which the opposition, PPPC hosts a press conference every week. The media is all too willing to report what the opposition states at its press conference.
Recently, the Guyana Press Association asked for assistance in visiting the border areas. This is an inexplicable proposal. The Guyana Press Association has no reason to ask the government to arrange for them to visit those areas. What do they expect that the government will do, other than have a controlled environment?
The media needs to become less reliant on the government. It needs to use its own resources to cover the border areas. It should not be asking government for any such assistance.
It is unfortunate how the media was treated by the Guyana Defence Force during the recent conference. Those who walked out did the right thing but they must be careful also of not believing that they are more important than the story they are covering. They are not.
If the media wants respect, it has to begin by respecting itself. The first step is to reduce their reliance on government releases and trying to attend every little event to which they are invited.

Crime is not a color thing. Criminals do not rob or kill people because of their color unless it's done by the KKK.

The government is creating Criminals, by putting people out off a job not allowing them to earn their daily bread, eventually they are FORCED to thief to survive. Crime is out of control.

Let us not forget that Jackass Ramjattan took away guns from local community groups. All to satisfy Granger so that criminals can loot and rob Indos at will.

From what I understand from the media and relatives there, banditry has become an equally opportunity employer.   It has now gone syndicated with many Indians in the forefront.  

How about the scenario, some Indians with guns have now morphed into organized criminal gangs and employing freelancers whichever race!  Who was the notorious “inspector gadget” that terrorized during the PPP era?

Some of the PPP-ites are biased,their views are every crime in Guyana are committed by African Guyanese.

An analysis of this robbery and the village,conclusion can be made the criminals are East Indians.

Exactly. Jackass Ramjattan's first act was to take guns away from community policing groups and they ended up in the hand of criminals.

Take away lethal weapons from CPGs – AFC Leader

Dec 23, 2013 News 0 Comments

The time is now right for those who are responsible for security in Guyana to begin to embrace modern technology and equip the ranks of the various Community Policing Groups with more effective but less lethal weapons.

AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan

Godfrey Jhaggroo

This view has long been held by Alliance For Change Leader Khemraj Ramjatan who said that his party will be pushing for legislative changes that could see community policing ranks be given relevant weapons
“I have asked on numerous occasions for these people to be given stun guns…, which can knock you out, and not kill you. Why don’t they invest in that for the Community Policing Group? That’s the kind of investment that the Alliance For Change would like to see,” Ramjattan reasoned.
His restated position comes in the wake of the shooting of a 20 year old Bellevue, West Bank Demerara youth, Godfrey Jhaggroo called ‘Oh-Oh’, reportedly by members of the neighbourhood’s Community Policing Group.
A police official statement said that their “Initial investigations have revealed that Godfrey Jhaggroo was involved in an argument with his mother during which a man, who resides next door and operates an off licence liquor store, intervened and assaulted him with a piece of wood.”
According to the police, Jhaggroo was on his way to the Wales Police Station to make a report when he was confronted by three men, one of whom is a licenced firearm holder, “and who were at the off licence liquor store, during which he was shot to his back with a shotgun.”
Ramjattan said that he had read about the incident and “I want to believe that it is almost like murder and it smacks of an execution and extra judicial killing.”
“It is totally abhorrent to our system of justice, and it must not be done and the people doing it be literally not chastised, and sometimes even being praised. It is a horrible development,” the AFC Leader stated.
Ramjattan agreed that last Thursday’s case was not one that had to be attended to with the type of force that was used.
For one, he said that the CPG members have no real training to make proper assessment of a particular situation.
“This just goes to show they want to be judge, jury and executioner …they are making their own assessment, and they are given guns that can shoot bullets at almost seven yards per second. Once that shot is fired it becomes unreviewable and the death thereafter becomes another horrific experience for Guyanese citizens and this has to be brought to a halt,” Ramjattan stated.
Because of the nature of criminal activities these days, Community Policing Groups are not expected to engage criminals in armed confrontations but rather they are supposed to gather information and contact the more equipped Guyana Police Force.
Ramjattan strongly recommended that if the concept of Community Policing is to work there be a huge investment in the training of those involved, so that they can execute their duty in a lawful and proper fashion that will not end up in unnecessary injury or death to innocent Guyanese.
“You remember the Yohance Douglas incident, and they were policemen much less these guys, and now they are given powerful weapons,” Ramjattan, a defence attorney, said.
He pointed out that this development is symptomatic of the reality that passes for law enforcement in Guyana, adding that the real police are the lesser of the two evils, since in the main local law enforcers are trigger happy.
“Within the community policing group, once they have guns, they are far more trigger-happy, if you were to look at ratio as to how many shootings they would do normally. But it sometimes goes unreported. So it is something that we really have to start thinking through better…so that these Community Policing people don’t start killing people,” the AFC Leader stated.
“We had seen this development in another period of Guyana’s history, when the Community Policing started getting a lot of immunity,” he added, noting that CPG members were usurping the powers of the regular police, by wantonly searching and arresting persons,” he added.
Ramjattan laid the blame for the seemingly out-of-control CPGs on the ruling People’s Progressive Party.
“The PPP loves that kind of thing, because all those Community Policing Groups are made up of hardcore PPP activists. So they want to arm them in a very indirect way,” Ramjattan stated.
His beliefs are similar to that of a former senior police officer who told this newspaper that Community Policing Groups operate as if they are only accountable to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Speaking with this newspaper yesterday, the senior officer who was integrally involved in the early days of Community Policing, recalled that the late Commissioner of Police Laurie Lewis always insisted that the CPGs know under which authority they fall, and that is the police.
“It is clear that Community Policing is heading in a different direction. It is troubling and disturbing to note that during the 33rd anniversary celebrations of Community Policing in Guyana, the honourable Minister of Home Affairs had said that community policing had not been taken away from the Guyana Police Force, and that it is the police who are responsible for monitoring them. Yet the current circumstances reflect otherwise. Some groups are misguided because the Ministry through its Liaison Officers keeps insisting that CPGs report to the Ministry,” the former cop said.
He added that this is why some Divisional Commanders and other senior police officers are now adopting a hands-off approach to some Community Policing Groups.

More criticism of Minister Ramjattan

May 04, 2016 Letters 0 Comments

Dear Editor,
For the past two months or more, there hasn’t been a day where the crime situation in Guyana, has not dominated the headlines of the more popular dailies. One has to be real naive not to observe that violent crime is on the rise, and that there is no evident macro plan to counter this. The noticeable absence of any type of proactive approach seems to be a motivation for anyone with a gun to get into the business of armed robbery.
I am forced to deduce that this is all happening as a consequence of the lack of visionary leadership at both the Ministry of Public Security and the Guyana Police Force. This situation is further compounded with the tragic conditions prevailing at the Georgetown Prisons, which also falls under the ambit of the Minister of Public Security. Minister Ramathan is obviously out of his depth at this Ministry, and his Commissioner is like Alice in Wonderland. While I understand the provisions of the Cummingsburg Accord, Mr. President, I urge you to consider removing both Mr. Ramjattan and the Commissioner of Police from their respective appointments, before the crime situation escalates to a catastrophe and brings your government down.
While Mr. Ramjattan may be a clever lawyer, Public Security is definitely not his forte.  Ramjattan is a round peg in a square hole at the Public Security Ministry, unable to fill the requirements of his portfolio.  He should be reshuffled to a ministry for which his qualifications make him suitable. This is my humble advice as a worried citizen.

Read the two article and point out from May 2015,where Ramjattan dis-arm the Community Policing Groups.

I have always back up my statements,there are times i will say do your own research,when ever there are asininity in requests.

KP Bhai,

Leave the PNC clown alone. Ramjattan crippled the community policing groups and Django is cheering him along because his PNC crime family is enjoying the benefits.

This was Granger's master plan.

Do you trust an uneducated alcoholic individual to make a logical assessment? Give him a bottle of "Stay Home Darling" and he will do whatever you want him to do or say.
