Dem boys seh de other man gun tek over

Jun 04, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,

I wanted to respond to an article, ‘Another man want extension pun he wok’ which appeared in your publication dated June 01, 2016. The article from ‘dem boys seh,’ attacked the character and the integrity of the Commissioner of Police, which, I think. was most disrespectful, and very offensive. The Commissioner of Police, by virtue of his long and most distinguished service, has truly earned his position as the head of the Guyana Police Force. His record over the past three decades is most impeccable. When rapes, murders, robberies and other criminal cases remain unsolved, the Police Commissioner is usually attacked, and, rightly so, condemned. When criminals, on the other hand, are apprehended and brought before the courts, it is only fair that the Police Commissioner be applauded and be credited.
The Crime Chief, by himself, cannot bring criminals to justice. Solving crimes is about team work, and it begins with the forensic team, the local police and detectives and of course members of the public. The Commissioner pointed out that the police now have more vehicles, more advanced crime solving equipment and better trained police officers. The Crime Chief, undoubtedly, is doing a wonderful job, but, so also are the police officers and detectives that support the Crime Chief. It should be noted that the hard working Crime Chief has never sought to gain any kind of personal credit for the recent apprehension of several criminals.
With regards to ‘want extension pun he wok,’ there is absolutely nothing wrong with that ‘want’ and, it is nothing new. The precedent was created many decades ago. The Police Commissioner is able and, unlike many of his colleagues, is in good shape. If there is any truth about his request it shows that the Police Commissioner love his country and that he is loyal and dedicated to the government and to the people of Guyana. Many Indians have been sent on leave and kicked out of office by this new coalition government and the Police Commissioner knows this fully well. I have no doubt that he will soon suffer the same fate. The Soulja Bai and Rum Jattan, surely, have their man ready to take over.
