This individual should resign from the Police Oversight Committee
Dear Editor,
It seems that in Guyana today there is no end or limit to the stories of corruption and very poor governance. Each morning you awake to read of a new and more damning revelation that overshadows the previous day’s malfeasance. As a result major issues of importance are not followed up because those whose job it is to inquire are busy with the new story.
One such issue is the role of a former police officer in the Thomas Carroll visa scandal as related in Davis Casavis’ book. The book has named this individual as someone who was involved in a very dishonest scheme to arrange for the sale of US visas. To date this individual has not asked the court to sanction Mr. Casavis or his publisher. He has instead told the Guyanese people that he addressed the issue some years before.
The mere fact that he was named in this book as a participant in this racket should have prompted this ex-policeman to submit his resignation as a member of the Police Oversight Committee. To date he has not done so and the Minister responsible for the Police who appointed him has not addressed this issue either. Minister Rohee in his efforts to reorganize the Guyana Police Force should not want the Committee cast in a cloud of distrust and dishonesty with the presence of someone like this, and since this individual has not resigned the Minister should remove him forthwith.
Or is this an American problem?
