Remove immunity for officials guilty of wrongdoing
DEAR EDITOR,
In reference to “Stripped of presidential immunity” (KN April 5), I am pleased to read that former Minister Rashleigh Jackson is very supportive of actions to prosecute two former leaders of their countries. Prosecutors in other countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia have also moved against the corrupt officials and those who were involved in gross violations of human rights of their people.
Mr. Jackson asked who is next. I hope it comes closer to our door step to include those who rigged elections, denied people basic rights, murdered opponents including priests, and those who served an illegal government in his or her capacity as a Minister. I hope Mr. Jackson would advocate for a removal of immunity from those in Guyana who committed wrong doing or engaged in corruption acts and I hope he would also call on those who served government and committed fraud or other forms of crimes to voluntarily give up immunity so investigations can proceed and indictments be handed down.
