An unexplained arrogance

Oct 26, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,    
I agree with the AFC‘s recent statement that the Minister of Agriculture, Leslie Ramsammy, lacks moral authority to speak on corruption.”
About 22:00 hrs on Monday October 15, 2012 my son was driving his motor car west along Regent Street when he attempted to overtake a heavily tinted Pathfinder. Suddenly and without warning via indicators or otherwise, the Pathfinder attempted to turn north into Alexander Street resulting in an accident which saw the front bumper of the Pathfinder damaged along with the front and rears doors of my son’s car.
He approached the Pathfinder and the driver’s window rolled down revealing the driver and only occupant, Minister of Agriculture Leslie Ramsammy who was speaking on his cell phone.
A short while later, a silver R.X8, and a Hilux Surf converged to the scene. Ramsammy was assisted into the car and he left the scene.
My son gave a statement to the police the said night and was told to return at 7:30 the next morning to facilitate a visit to the scene. He spent the entire morning awaiting the minister arrival to visit the scene then was told to return at 17:00hrs the following day but again the Minister did not show. He was informed that Ramsammy was at a meeting and would be leaving the country the following day. He was told that the police would make contact with him some time during the coming week.
It is this display of blatant arrogance and disrespect for equal rights and justice by the wrong dishonourable Minister that has awakened a proactive individual the tactical fortitude to challenge the status quo.
