Dear Editor,
Over the last few days, Guyanese have been trying to cope with the senseless killing of Mr. Courtney Crum-Ewing, who for weeks protested against very serious threatening remarks, via telephone conversation, by Guyana’s Attorney General, Mr. Anil Nandalall, to a Kaieteur News reporter.
Guyanese witnessed the rush by the Ministry of Home Affairs to dispatch a press release, to the media, on the issue, and to attempt, in a very awkward way, to find a strange link between this senseless killing and the recent appointment of the Commissioner of Police, by President Donald Ramator. Further, the release stated that the Commissioner of Police was ordered to carry out a thorough investigation into the killing of Mr. Crum-Ewing. This was very surprising to me, because such an incident should immediately activate the appropriate systems of the Guyana Police Force, to find and bring to justice the persons, who are responsible for the death of this son of the soil.
On the face of it, the Ministry’s release was an attempt to assuage the masses and to keep then calm and simultaneously keep the opposition in focus and to somehow blame them for the death of this brave solider. But that was not necessary because Guyanese are not fools; they understand exactly what is going on. They will not be provoked into any action that would derail the up-coming elections for 2015.
They know that the way to fight back against this evil is to draw strength from this brutal slaying and the shedding of the blood of this patriot, and to exercise their franchise to vote the PPP/C government out of power on May 11, 2015. Guyana has no other option; it is the only way out of this national wickedness.
Those who are trying to provoke a situation should know, by now, that, there is a Natural Mystic blowing through the air to borrowa few words from Bob Marley, and that change is inevitable; it has to come.
Courtney Crum-Ewing has been killed, by cowards who could not allow him to stand up for his belief, but many more brave souls have already taken his place. You can kill a man; you cannot kill his idea or spirit.
Today, we, all who want a better Guyana, are not discouraged but remain strong and committed to a new and prosperous Guyana.
We reach out to his mother, father, siblings, children and all those, who loved him.
Let us remember the words of Jesus the Christ that:”For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesian 6:12).”
We can, we will, we must overcome!
Long live the coalition–APNU+AFC.Long live the Republic of Guyana.
