Who were the intellectual authors of the fires that destroyed the ministries of Housing and Finance?

Jul 31, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Tuesday, July 28, 2009 edition of both the Stabroek and Kaieteur Newspapers reported Guyana’s Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, to say that the fire which destroyed the Ministry of Health’s main building was well orchestrated by a ring of “intellectual authors, planners and actors”, all working within an established network.”
Mr. Rohee is more known for manifesting symptoms of “foot-in-mouth disease, than the display of intellectual prowess. His career highpoint came when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He was directed to cast a vote at the United Nations for the Commonwealth of Dominica- the sister CARICOM country. But instead of voting for Dominica, Mr. Rohee ended up voting against Dominica and for the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic.
He had not known the difference between the Commonwealth of Dominica and the Dominican Republic. The good news is that he is no longer the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The bad news is that he is now the Minister of Home Affairs and National Security
His cerebral challenges notwithstanding, even Mr. Rohee should know that the Guyanese nation is not oblivious to the blatant fact that the Ministries of Finance and Housing were mysteriously destroyed by fire simultaneously as calls were made for probes into alleged fraudulent activities at those agencies, and amidst serious scrutiny of questionable activities by their relevant political heads.
Guyana’s Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, is currently embroiled is allegations that he has been in communication with confessed criminal Roger Khan, whose “phantom death squad” gang has killed hundreds of individuals in Guyana. His name has come up in several US Law enforcement secretly tape-recorded telephone conversations.
It has also been alleged in a New York Federal Court, that Khan emissaries have met with Dr. Ramsammy in his Ministry of Health office.
Can Mr. Rohee say if documentation that could be corroborative evidence was destroyed in the fire? We do not yet know this. What we do know, however, is that Dr. Ramsammy has admitted being the last person to leave the Ministry before it was set ablaze.
My question to Clement Rohee is therefore who were the real “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the fire at the Ministry of Health?
And who were the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the fires which destroyed the Ministries of Finance and Housing? Were they one and the same, working within a singular, established network?
Are there multiple networks? How and in what context did he so brilliantly conceptualize the terms “intellectual authors” and “established network,” and is there a psychological nexus with these concepts?
While we are on the topic of “intellectual authors, planners, actors and established networks,” let me ask the Minister of Home Affairs, who were the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the assassination of Ronald Waddell? Who were the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the extra-judicial killing of over 400 young Guyanese?
Mr. Rohee, who are the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the torture of Mark Benschop; GDF soldiers Michael Dunn, Alvin Wilson and Sharth Robertson; David Leander aka `Biscuit,’ Patrick Sumner and Victor Jones; Terrence McKenzie and Toney Small? And who were the intellectual, planners and actors of the alleged murder of David Leander and Edward Niles, both of whom were murdered, allegedly by poisoning, while in the custody of the Guyana government?
Also, Mr. Rohee, who were the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the mass murders during the race riots of 1964? And who were the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of the burning of the various sugarcane fields across Guyana and engaged in a treasonous conspiracy to commit, and did commit, economic sabotage?
Unless Mr. Rohee can provide an exegesis of his “intellectual authors, planners, actors and network” theories, as well as name the “intellectual authors, planners and actors” of all of the criminal activities enumerated above, then the Guyanese people will reject his diatribe as circumlocution or creative erotica – designed to stimulate his fantasies.
