Sad statement from Minister of Home Affairs

Dear Editor,

It is a sad affair since the Minister of Home Affairs is more interested in the how and who about the taped conversation allegedly with Commissioner of Police Felix and PNCR members.

She made it clear that she has every confidence in this man and she worked well with him. That is good for you, madam, and you must be thanked for your honesty. However, the Honourable Minister like most Guyanese knew exactly how the tapes were made and who made them.

Does the Bel Air Trio with the arms cache find, along with a sophisticated computer, ring a bell? Enough said, Madam Minister. Madam Minister, you and your PPP/C Government should be more interested in asking one very big question: Why is Felix having so many conversations with members of PNCR on national security issues? From all appearances it looks as though Felix has more dealings with PNCR members on national security concerns than the Government.

Without those tapes no one would ever know what is taking place with the Police Commissioner and members of the main opposition PNCR.

Who made those tapes or how those tapes were obtained must not be the issue. It is to be noted that since this man took office as Commissioner of Police there are not only more crimes but more unsolved crimes.

Please, Madam Minister of Home Affairs, do not shove it down our throats that you have every confidence and you worked well with this man.

If you do, then you are part and parcel of what is taking place in Guyana where security is concerned for innocent Guyanese, who pray day and night for you to get things done in the name of security for their lives, limbs and property, innocent Guyanese who pray that they are not next on the list at the hands of merciless criminals.

If you cannot take care of security for all peace-loving law-abiding citizens, then who will?
