I am in wonder-land

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – A few days ago I wandered around Police Headquarters, Eve Leary and discovered to my chagrin that all the palm trees in the Tactical Services Unit compound were cut down. This left me wondering. I wonder why the palm trees that were majestically growing in the Tactical Services Unit for decades and have a rich history were unceremoniously cut down. I wonder why the roots were dug up and left there for all to see. I wonder why there was no clean-up campaign after the destruction. I wonder who gave the instructions for the palm trees to be demolished. I wonder if Top Cop, Nigel Hoppie gave the order for them to be destroyed or that it was the work of a member of the gang of five that is working against him. I wonder if the order came from the politicians who said that the palms are symbols of a particular political party and must be gotten rid of. I wonder if the palm trees were infected with worms and the Ministry of Agriculture was not contacted for assistance. I wonder why there is a thick wall of silence from the installed Corporate Communication Unit. I then wandered along Main Street and saw numerous beautiful and healthy palm trees in the compound of State House. I wonder when they would be cut down like those at the Tactical Services Unit. I wonder if the chain saw that was used at the TSU ran out of gas in a massive gas producing country. I wonder if cutting down those palm trees is not working against the Low Carbon Development Strategy. I wonder. I am still wondering.

Yours respectfully,
Clinton Conway
Assistant Commieeioner of Police
