He call nuff names pon de tape especially bout dose who used to tun up for special favours and fuh other gifts. He used to operate a state within a state and dat is why when de mass murder-suicide tek place, nuff Guyanese nah bin ever know dem gat such a place in de jungle.
Well, nuff ah dem records is now public and nuff name call. But none ah dem journalists nah going to interview anybody wah still around and wah used to get in pon de action.
But people know or spread rumour bout who tek off watches and rings and money from dem dead people. And who get de money wah bin in GNCB fuh de People’s Temple.
