Revisit the ‘No confidence’ motion

May 04, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
In the Kaieteur News April 29, 2013 edition there was a headline “Investigators relying on CCTV to track down cop’s killers “. As you read further into the article the reporter had contacted the Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, for his comment on the shooting.
I just could not have believed my eyes when I read the comment that the Minister gave to the reporter and I quote “It is three o’ clock on Sunday and I am relaxing with my grandchildren and I don’t want to be disturbed. I will comment on the matter tomorrow.”
I still cannot believe the utterances that come out from the mouth of the man under whose purview the security of this nation lies.
When a Corporal of the Guyana Police Force, which constitutionally comes under the Ministry of Home Affairs, is killed in the line of his duty and the man who is the subject Minister of that Ministry can boldly, ignorantly and stupidly make those statements to a reporter, then it is about time that we agree with Freddie Kissoon that indeed Guyana is heading to become a failed state.
I recalled not so long ago when during the Linden protests some questions were posed to the Minister and one of his responses was that he is not a visionary. This is the same Clement Rohee who said that he has it in his DNA to be the President of this country. Well if that happens then not only will we be a failed state but a foolish one also.
Well I think that the goat done bite he.
I would want to think that it is about time that the joint opposition revisit the no confidence motion that they had brought against Minister Rohee because when the Minister who is responsible for the National Security of this nation can say such words, then I don’t know where we are heading as a nation.
Criticize former and late President Burnham as much as we want, but in reality, no one like Clement Rohee would have been in Burnham’s Cabinet.
I want to ask the decent-minded citizens of this country what aspect of security has Clement Rohee improved or enhanced in this country and is working effectively. I honestly see none.
I want to close by giving my sympathies to the family of Police Corporal Cleto. May his soul rest in peace.
