The Baccoo Speaks

May 06, 2012 Features / Columnists, The Baccoo Speaks

Fear is slowly creeping back to blanket the country. It was once a feature in the days when cocaine wars and gunmen battled in the streets and in communities. Ordinary people kept off the streets for fear of getting caught in the crossfire.
It soon emerged that there were those who targeted every criminal, active or otherwise. Those days are returning; no criminal is safe from the hired guns. There will be three such killings in the coming days.
The killer would be someone with protection from the very agency targeted with the responsibility of protecting the society.

Closed circuit television is going to capture a most horrific scene. A gunman is going to shoot a businessman whom he had targeted. The reality is that the increased police presence has spawned a group of people bent on acquiring money at all cost.
But there is going to be fallout. The banks are going to step up their efforts to remove paper money from active circulation.
**
The political scene is not going to become calmer. A government entity is going to be at the centre of a heated debate that will fuel charges of corruption.
