Mr. Harmon should know: you cannot fool all the people all the time

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – When will our politicians realise they are now dealing with an entirely new generation of Guyanese who are smarter, more politically minded and aware of what is going on? It is hardly likely that the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) would jeopardise its integrity by falsely arresting ex-Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan – for vesting State lands, particularly Guyana largest wharf facilities situated in Kingston, Georgetown worth forty million US dollars. Vesting is a legal term that means to give or earn a right to a present or future payment, asset, or benefit.
For Mr. Joseph Harmon to say, “there was no justification for the action by the police in arresting former Finance Minister Winston Jordan, and that the arrest is another vile, malicious and vindictive act of political witch hunting by the PPP/C regime that is not evidence-based, but is rooted in depravity” is so weak that anyone with a little sense of law will know SOCU will not open itself to lawsuits. Surely, Mr. Harmon knows one of the most famous sayings attributed to Abraham Lincoln about deception is: You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
There is an old Guyanese proverb everyone in Guyana is aware of: Moon ah run ‘til day ketch um.

Yours truly,
Gloria Holder
