De head of the Camp Street jail was a busy man whole week. He get more busy when de Prime Minister from The Bahamas announce big and bold how he ain’t see no money from Guyana going to Clico Bahamas.
De man mek de statement without a smile pun he face, suh right away people believe he, and is then Bharrat call de Director of Prisons and tell he to clean out de jail. He done decide that de people who was managing Clico was probably a pack of scamps.
He didn’t want to believe that dem lie when dem seh that dem send money to The Bahamas. He didn’t want to believe that he colleague was lying.
As soon as de prison man start fuh clean up de Clico people get mad, because dem know that dem send de money. One of dem actually tell Bharrat that if he gun jail he, he gun have to jail all dem bank people, because is dem send de money.
Right away de prison man start fuh clean out more cell. Dem boys seh that was like Christmas spring-cleaning at Camp Street. If you see ganja and cell phone and knife and other thing that come out.
Is Yesu who start to find de records because he decide that he too old to go to jail. Then de Citizens Bank man find records, and as soon as he find dem, de same Clico people produce more records than poor Ashni coulda hold in he hand.
By this time, dem boys seh that Bharrat done gone to de States, but all de time he calling Ashni to mek sure that Clico Guyana did send de money. Right away Ashni tell he that he got to jail de Bahamas Prime Minister fuh lying. De prisons man get more busy because he had to find nuff space fuh de Bahamas Prime Minister because he gun come wid a delegation.
However, dem boys seh joke is joke. This man is a Finance Minister and he ain’t know wha going on wid money in de country. He people tek money from Guyana and dem ain’t tell he nutten. He got to plan de budget and he ain’t see that money come into he country.
Bharrat and Ashni know how much money Clico Guyana got; dem know bout de assets
And de other Finance Minister ain’t know nutten. He open he mouth and cause discomfort.
But he wasn’t alone. A local TV station jump and broadcast how de Clico people going to jail. Well, that cause confusion because all dem Clico people got children and de poor children get worried.
Is then people start fuh realise that dem got some jokey reporter who don’t check anything. Is de same people jump and copy a news item from a blog that shut down now. Reporting gone to de dogs, especially pun TV. That is wha dem boys seh.
Anyhow, de person who own de station hire an editor right away and that is de fuss thing that greet de editor. Dem boys seh that de man want lef de wuk right away.
And dem boys smelling something fishy in de Clico collapse. Nuff people had money save up and some of dem smiling. Dem had to be de lucky ones who hear bout de government plan to move pun de Clico people.
Is dem who cause de collapse because dem rush to tek out dem money, and since dem was big ones de company couldn’t tell dem no.
One man holler how he gun tell Bharrat if he didn’t get he money. Well, he get he money and he trying to see if he can smart Bharrat by getting he name back on de list. He gun end up in jail.
Talk half. Lef half.
