Dear Editor:
If what was carried in the media is half accurate, then the unmitigated gall of Seelall Persaud in this last imbroglio is the proverbial straw. This is a man who as Commissioner of Police has ascribed to himself the mantle of a know-it-all.
By what stroke of logic would any reasonable thinking person believe that he can approve for himself a firearm dealership licence?
To my mind the entire firearm licencing arrangement should be reviewed since there is still much room for abuse of process.
I admit I have an abhorrence for anything (and anyone) resembling an abuse(er) of authority. While I am on that subject I would suggest, strongly, that an audit be conducted on all vehicles assigned to the service even if it is to ensure that none is in the hands of any one’s family member or other relative.
A lot of wrong things have been happening in the force with little or no system in place to check and balance out matters. We are constantly bombarded with talk about this or that SOP; ask them to provide one SOP and you will be met with deafening silence broken by the inanity of “well we don’t have it in writing.”
What absolute crap and poppycock.
Philip Marshall

By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – Haiti’s plight must not be forgotten because it is no longer a regular feature of international headlines. The suffering has not diminished.

(Kaieteur News) – It is why I like these swashbucklers operating out of Spring, Texas. They know how to keep others on their toes, and to lull their partners in host counties to sleep.
