Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – In retrospect, based on his own public pronouncements, Paul Williams was justifiably denied promotion to Police Commissioner by two presidents. At a PNCR-APNU political event at Melanie Damishana over the past weekend, William made the outrageous claim that the GPF deliberately allow[ed] a protest march from Golden Grove to Mon Repos Market in June 2022, knowing fully well that the market would have been a flash point for attacks on vendors” (Demerara Waves, 2/20/2025). Here is a man who wanted to be the top cop, but who clearly lives in a world of conspiracy theories.
The man also states that “…they had a scheme plotted in order to create that situation so that you can look as the ones who are the criminals, the thugs and the thieves” (Ibid). This is an old ‘scrape’ defence, namely that the criminals, thugs, and thieves who we can all see with our naked eyes are innocent church goers who have been wrongfully framed. This is criminal defence of a different species.
President Granger did the right thing by refusing to promote this conspiracy theorist. President Ali also did the right thing to ignore him. Williams’ current narrative is that he is moving from policing to politics. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Sincerely,
Dr. Randy Persaud
