Shocking statement by Minister Rohee

Feb 07, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
The victims of crimes like young Sheema Mangar, Mr. Ramoudit, who was returning to Guyana after more than a decade, was killed for his gold chain, he did not even have a chance to say hello or goodbye, young Ricky Jainarine 10 years old, his mother longs to just find his body to say farewell and have closure, Davendra Bholanauth who was shot while turning his computer on in his own business on Sherriff Street and last but not least, Mr. Dennis Ramah from Success who tried to defend his home and was fatally shot. All these victims of crimes are screaming from their graves for justice.
It is an obscene vulgarity to have Clement Rohee state that crime in this country are at “optimal levels” whatever this means.
It is an even bigger travesty that this is the same incompetent minister who told Ricky Jainarine’s mother to send him a fax when she sought to get his help. He had his minions turn her away at his office; he was too busy to meet with this grieving mother, who had just lost her husband and son as well as their neighbour.
The lack of compassion from Mr. Jagdeo and this inhumane so called Minister of government is an abomination. It is time for people in this country to rise up and demand his immediate dismissal. Rohee is the definition of incompetence. We no longer have to debate this matter.
The even bigger travesty is the fact that the PPP while giving us all the most useless excuses such as, “crime happens all over the world” and that the press is hyping the situation and making the situation bigger than it really is, are all just as disgraceful as Mr. Rohee. It is even more distressing that Mr. Jagdeo himself makes these statements trivializing crime in Guyana.
Mr. Jagdeo I can assure you and your government that we will not forget your weak disrespectful comments and lack of value you place on the lives of our citizens. You have forgotten why we elected you all to office.
