Dear Editor,
I believe when President Jagdeo said that certain members of the opposition have blood on their hands he was not only making reference to the brutal gunning down of those freedom agitators on the Corentyne, but he was speaking of a wider group of murderers some of whom are present in our society today and are still making trouble.
These individuals have committed untold number of atrocities, many undocumented, because that was a period of time when nobody dare question top officials on any matter, particularly capital offences.
Let me remind readers of the government official who shot and killed his employee in broad daylight for selling “contraband” goods in the presence of eyewitnesses. That same individual is known to have eliminated his wife.
He was so vicious that the alleged adulterous partner dare not set foot in Guyana when that personality was in office for fear of him being “bumped off” also. Yet another top functionary’s wife mysteriously drowned she too was “bumped off” for her adulterous ways and the embarrassment she caused that official.
This was a period, when top officials, or should I say their erring spouses met their deaths under strange unexplained circumstances. Then there was the lynch mob which masqueraded under the cloak of a religious group – let us conduct enquiries into their operations please.
Talk about mysterious deaths and phantom squads, let us first clear up these and other cruel acts mentioned above before anyone utter a word of the present regime being corrupt.
I have never killed anyone nor do I have the intention to do so, but those of the lot mentioned earlier lack the moral turpitude to ask for an inquest. Neil Adams
