Rohee vs Ramnarine

Jan 23, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
In early 2012 Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee public expressed his no confidence in a gazetted senior officer of the Guyana Police Force, Assistant Commissioner David Ramnarine.
He further directed that Commissioner of Police (Acting) Leroy Brumell, take the necessary disciplinary action.  We all know what has happened since then; Ramnarine, one of the most accomplished police commanders currently serving the Guyana Police Force has been effectively “gagged”.
Ramnarine has held his tongue and has not moved to the court for redress.
Fast forward to the present situation which began late last year; the National Assembly through a motion from Opposition Leader David Granger, voted in favour of a no confidence motion against the Home Affairs Minister.
All hell broke loose. In defence of the Minister, Attorney General Anil Nandlall is about to precipitate a constitutional crisis of immense magnitude with his move to the High Court.
No one, except the Opposition, chided the Minister for interfering with the operational running of the Guyana Police Force.
Nor did anyone accuse Commissioner Brumell of breaching the rights of Assistant Commissioner Ramnarine.
However, all kinds of fingers are being pointed at the Speaker of the National Assembly for upholding a position taken by the legitimate majority-led house.
If Ramnarine cannot now speak as a Commander, why should Rohee be allowed to speak as the Minister of Home Affairs?
Get the point?
