Dem boys seh you can’t tek a man wah never run a cake shop or sell a buns fuh negotiate with dem big multinationals. Dem company gan mek rings around yuh.

Dat is why dem boys seh some of we leader should never have been negotiating anything since dem never even run a cake shop in dem life.

De Rig-adier never even sell a phone in he life.  Jagdeo never sell icicle in he life. He used to buy dat at school. Dem boys hear dat Li’l Joe bin try he hand at mekkin pholouri but de thing come out as bake. Dem boys seh Moses try fuh mek persad and leff only with de sad.

Dem boys wondering wah Mingo gan try he hand at next. He finish with de Bingo business. He gan gat a long time fuh think about wah he gan do fuh mek a living… a long, long time.

Dem boys feel if you want see dem foreign company dance, put dem fuh negotiate with de boss man of de Waterfall paper. By the time he finish with dem, Guyana gan get de best deal ever.

Dem boys hear Trotty seh how dem had to sign de Exxon deal because we neighbour had dem eye pun we oil. He seh was like if you gat a mango tree and yuh neighbour gat he eyes pun de mangoes, yuh gan hustle fuh pick them before he does.

But dem boys wan know if we bin hurry fuh pick de mango before Venezuela, how come Exxon get de best mango and we get de rotten one?  Like we bin holding the wrong end of the stick.

Talk half and ask Trotty if he get any mango from de tree.

Mingo’s detention lawful – AG Anil Nandlall

– Refutes Harmon’s claim that charges “trumped up”

Aug 31, 2020 News 0, Source - Kaieteur News Online - https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...ul-ag-anil-nandlall/

Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General Anil Nandlall yesterday put on record that there was nothing unlawful about the Guyana Police Forces’ (GPF) further detainment of controversial Returning Officer (RO) Clairmont Mingo and refuted claims by incoming Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon that Mingo was being unlawfully held and that the fraud charges were “trumped up.”

Incoming Opposition Leader, Joseph Harmon

Attorneys-at-Law Roysdale Forde and Darren Wade along with former Infrastructure Minister, David Patterson and Harmon paid a visit to the RO at the Spaarendam Police Station and it was after that the incoming Opposition Leader made his claims.

“Mingo has been unlawfully detained for over 72 hours in spite of a High Court order. So what we are basically dealing with is a rogue administration that keeps giving illegal directions to the police…they have brought up four trumped up charges against Mr. Mingo and certainly, these are matters we will address fully,” Harmon said.

Minister Nandlall, in proffering an explanation reminded that the RO’s legal counsel by way of a “premature and misconceived” habeas corpus application had asked that the High Court order his release from police custody on Friday but this was later withdrawn.

After that, the police made an application for extension of Mingo’s detention time and this was granted for 24 hours, with the RO expected to have been released the following day at 2:30 pm on several conditions.

Acting Chief Justice, Rishi Persaud had ordered that he report to Police Officers Mitchell Caesar, Nigel Stephens and/or Rodwell Sarrabo or the next senior officer at the CID Headquarters Eve Leary, Kingston, Georgetown, at 9:00 am daily. Mingo was also ordered to lodge his passport with the CID headquarters, and to report any change of residence to one of the officers mentioned.

However, when his Attorney-at-Law, Darren Wade, turned up at CID with the passport in hand, he was told that Mingo was slapped with four new charges by the police. The new charges reportedly have to do with mischief in public office.

The Attorney General clarified that it was because Mingo was slapped with those new charges that his detention period extended automatically.
Wade had reportedly filed another habeas corpus application that very afternoon demanding that the High Court order Mingo’s release, but this application was dismissed by the acting Chief Justice Rishi Persaud who made it clear that Mingo was slapped with four new charges from the police themselves and will have to remain in police custody until his court appearance today.

The AG added, “There was nothing unlawful and there is nothing unlawful with the police keeping him in custody until he is taken to a Magistrate where those charges will be read and where he will be put before the jurisdiction of a Magistrates court.”

Nandlall continued that as a fellow man of the law, one would expect Harmon to be aware of “the most basic and elementary principles of law.”
“…So Mr. Harmon’s contention that Mr. Mingo is being unlawfully detained is completely preposterous and must be rejected out of hand.”

Mingo was nabbed by police on Tuesday last after investigators commenced their probe into the protracted March 2 General and Regional Elections.

Later on, investigators swooped down on three of Mingo’s assistants and also arrested IT Technician Enrique Livan who was fingered in the March 4 flash drive scandal. They all remain in police custody as investigations continue.

The Government should ban KN from publishing trash. Guyanese can't learn anything by reading trash.  A negotiator is a person well versed in the English Language. He doesn't have to have experience running a cake shop.
