Time to re-open Anil Nandlall’s threats to K/News

Apr 28, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
I read with interest in your newspaper yesterday that Essequibo resident Bibi Salim has been charged with threatening President Granger.
Salim, during the month of March, apparently used words that suggested that the President should be shot in the head.
She was also accused of sending derogatory remarks about the President from her mobile phone to her son’s using Whatsapp Messenger.
This is a highly interesting case which for the mere merits I would like to see how it progresses in the court.
I can’t remember a case like this in recent times. It would be interesting to hear the defense’s arguments.
That being said, just under two years ago, Kaieteur News was involved in a case that made headlines around the world.
Former Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, was heard on a telephone conversation warning a senior, respected newspaper reporter to leave as the newspaper was not well liked and there were the very real possibilities of an attack by gunmen.
The nation still remains in shock over that incident. We are talking about the Attorney General here.
He is supposed to be the custodian of the laws of Guyana.
How did he know that there was an attack that was impending on the offices of the country’s largest newspaper?
There is no doubt he had some deep knowledge and from any layman’s mind goes far beyond a simple case of a friendly warning to a senior reporter as the former AG and his administrations wanted to portray.
With the recent case of Kwame Mc Coy, a senior Government official of the previous PPP/C administration now being charged and facing the courts for a March 2011 attack on activist Mark Benschop, one cannot be feel that the police will finally do the right thing and move to investigate this case.
