Lynching
minister without credible evidence would be a great injustice
HAVING
listened to the media, opposition, government and others in relation to the
Bacchus affair and done my own investigations, I have concluded that, in
my humble opinion, there is not a shred of evidence to make out a prima faci
case against the honorable Minister sufficient to warrant an inquiry or
investigation. Ninety five percent of the
allegations leveled against the Minister are secondary or hearsay evidence,
which is not admissible in a court of law. In my view, Mr.
Gajraj has suffered a great injustice.
Anyone who knows the honorable Minister well will know he's an honest person
fully committed to discharging the functions of his office in the best
interest of the citizens and nation, even if it means breaking the rules in
the interest of national security.
Many of those seeking the head of the minister are ignorant of the
requirements necessary for the Minister to effectively oversee the maintenance
of law, order and stability. One of these requirements in view of a lack of
confidence in the Police Force by some members of the public, is the
imperative to receive information from persons who may have expressed an
interest to assist in the fight against crime, be it convicts,
ex-convicts, ex-cops, etc. And because of the nature of the intelligence
provided by those persons there is nothing morally or criminally wrong with
the Minister giving such persons his cell and other private phone numbers. It
may also become necessary for officials to bend the rules in order to protect
the lives of these valuable informants, even granting them license to obtain a
firearm. This is done in many foreign countries, and
it was done right here in Guyana during the PNC's reign in the 70's and early
80's.
In closing, I challenge those after the Minister's head to make public
evidence to show the honorable Minister:
(a) Conspired
(b)
Counseled
(c)
Aided and abetted person or persons known or unknown to form a phantom squad
with intent to kidnap, murder and/or torture persons. Failing
to, I urge you to shut up and back off.
To the Canadian government I say you are guilty of meddling in the domestic
affairs of a foreign nation for the wrong reason by revoking the visa of the
honorable Minister contrary to your foreign policy. "Shame on you!"
To the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces, I say stay your ground, do not succumb to opposition pressures and
lynch Minster Gajraj, unless there is credible evidence to acuminate him. To
do otherwise would be to do a great injustice to this nation.
To Mr. Gajraj I say, stand tall, hook your cuticle eyes. You have done and are
doing an excellent job. To your critics I say, "All have sinned and come
short of the glory of God. He who is without sin let him cast the first
stone!"
