The People Deserve Honesty on the Mohameds Extradition Matter
Dear Editor,
As a citizen and activist of the United Workers Party, I have been following the developments surrounding the extradition proceedings involving Nazar “Shell” Mohamed and his son, Azruddin Mohamed. What concerns me most is not just the case itself, but the conflicting stories coming from our own Government and the United States Embassy in Georgetown.
The U.S. Embassy has made it clear that “the attorneys appearing in the Guyanese extradition proceedings of Nazar and Azruddin Mohamed are retained by the Government of Guyana and not by the U.S. Government.” In simple terms, it is our Government, not the U.S.- that hired and is paying these lawyers.
Yet, the impression given to the public by the authorities in Guyana is quite different. The way it has been presented suggests that the attorneys were representing the United States and that Guyana was merely facilitating the process. Now that the U.S. Embassy has spoken, we are left with serious questions that deserve honest answers.
If these lawyers are being paid with public funds, then the people of Guyana have a right to know who authorized this, under what arrangement, and why it was necessary for our Government to carry that cost. Transparency should never be optional.
I say this not in anger, but with genuine concern. When leaders speak with conflicting voices, the people lose trust. And once trust is lost, it is very hard to rebuild. We deserve clarity. We deserve honesty. Because in the end, it’s not about politics, it’s about the truth and the people’s right to it.
Respectfully,
