A crazy animal kicked Mark Benschop in jail

May 11, 2017 Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon

When it was announced that former Prime Minister, Hamilton Green, will be given a pension based on current calculations and not the 1992 rates when he was Prime Minister, I did not agree and still don’t.
One argument that entered the Green pension debate was that Green had perpetuated grievous wrongs against people when he was in power and should not be rewarded for such past tyranny. That point was bound to come up but it lacked a premise from which it could have been concluded. The issue was Green was a past Prime Minister. He was a Prime Minister therefore that fact was central to the argument.
There are countless persons that the Jagdeo regime put in paramount occupations that should not have been there and they will earn a pension that no legal mind can successfully argue against.
In my never-ending years of political activism and my studies of Guyana’s post-Independence evolution, one of the appointments that has jarred my nerves violently was the selection of Bibi Shadick to be the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Guyana. It was like putting a botanist to be the country’s Attorney-General.
Ms. Shadick had no connection or ever had any connection to academia. Ms. Shadick will earn a pension from UG that no one can stop. But once Green’s name came up his history had to enter the picture. And his history is certainly not as attractive as the leadership of his party, the PNC, feels.
It is the same analysis we should apply to a school of politicians in the PPP that wants to return and lead this country in the 2020 elections. There are two important items in yesterday’s Kaieteur News the Guyanese people need to give some thought to. There was the report that since the new government came into power, there has been no action on two investigations that the office of the Ombudsman completed and submitted – my contract termination at UG and the Arjune story at the New Building Society.
The second item is a letter published in yesterday’s edition of this newspaper in which Mark Benschop questions the conspiratorial role of Anil Nandlall in his treason case. Benschop’s letter is an unambiguous description of the role of politics in contorting the rule of law and it brings in to sharp focus the evil hypocrisy of those who want to rule Guyana again.
These two wrongs highlight the nature of the regime that was removed from power in the 2015 elections.
It is important that society keeps reminding the people of this land about the evil hegemony that canopied this country for fifteen years by Bharrat Jagdeo. Every word that comes out of the mouth of Bharrat Jagdeo, Roger Luncheon, Gail Teixeira, Donald Ramotar, Clement Rohee, Leslie Ramsammy, Anil Nandlall and their acolytes whether at a press conference at a public meeting or in Parliament is about violations, victimization and witch-hunt by a government that is merely two years in office.
The analyst simply does not know where to start if he/she wants to do an in-depth description of this evil hegemony. The two items referred to above in yesterday’s Kaieteur News are a timely reminder of these people who are at the gates of Guyana waiting to have the key to reenact this evil hegemony. I am glad the newspaper touched on my contract termination and I am happy to see Benschop writing again.
Others must follow Benschop and write, expose, and denounce those who violated the rights of untold numbers from 1992 to 2015 so the likes of the tribal supremacists like Aksharananda, Ravi Dev, Ryhaan Shah and their types could be confronted when they tell their adherents about widespread dismissal from state employment and marginalization of their constituencies. Carol Ann Munroe, in 2016, penned a missive to this newspaper that was almost one full page. Readers seldom digest a letter that is so long. But no doubt Carol Ann Munroe’s account of the behaviour of the police when they came to her house to arrest her for treason was read in its entirety.
This was what we lived under during the misrule of Bharrat Jagdeo and his surrogate, Donald Ramotar. There is a boundless energy inside the PPP that leads to at least two letters a week in all the newspapers from Ramotar, Rohee, Nandlall, Ramsammy etc. about the violations of central power.
Nandlall uses a letterhead titled, The Crazy Horse. Mark Benschop contends a crazier animal kicked him in jail. And wanted him to stay there.
