Dear Editor,
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Henry Greene, insistence that the police have in its possession, spy equipment may have merit.
The first time Guyanese knew about this equipment was when a Guyana Defence Force patrol caught a group of men on the night of December 4, 2002 in the area of Good Hope, East Coast, Demerara. This group included a member of the Black Clothes Squad and Shaheed Roger Khan.
Robert Simels disclosure in the US Court on August 4, 2009, speaks of spy equipment that was purchased in 2003. This revelation indicates that there exist two spy equipment, so far. One that was ceased when the GDF intercepted the men in 2002; and other bought in 2003.
The Government is hoping to hoodwink the mass by bringing out the spy equipment they ceased in 2002, in the hope that it can clear its name of culpability. Whether it’s one, two, or more equipment, the fact remains that this type of equipment is only sold to governments and it should have never been in possession of Khan. This in itself suggests that the government is intricately involved with Khan, not only in one instance, but at least in two.
We know that Khan was using this equipment. Khan obviously was not acting independently. Who was Khan’s boss, intellectual author, or the architect behind the criminality?
I urge Guyanese to continue to be vigilant by staying true to the facts and events unfolding in the U.S. Court. Lincoln Lewis
