The sins of the man from WIN

Hard Truths by GHK Lall

(Kaieteur News) – Shackles are becoming a second skin for Mr. Azruddin Mohamed. Local charges, foreign charges, extradition subject all see him being paraded in shackles. Businessman, PPP bankroller, or Opposition Leader matters not; shackles come out; he gets that two-fisted guide to the nearest pen. The latest sin of the man from WIN was to make the court wait.

Simply not done, sir; bad form leads to bad feelings. To teach him a lesson, he was forced to wait in closed quarters for hours. One hour for each 10-minute delay he caused the court. His defense was flat tires, compliments of the PPP Govt. When a government engages (allegedly) in such an action, it is time that Mohamed II rethinks his approach, restart from scratch. He is going about his battles all wrong. Just as I have offered unsolicited advice to Drs. Ali, Jagdeo, Nandlall and Campbell, the same courtesy is extended to WIN’s Mohamed. He manifests patience, keeps fighting, and honorary doctorates will land on his doorstep. The hovering FBI could interfere with deliveries, so extra astuteness and vigilance are required of him.

Advice item one: when operating in a criminal environment, start thinking like a criminal. Sub PPP Govt. in place of environment, and that’s a start. Mr. Mohamed II has advantages: he has expansive, closeup familiarity with how official and other crimes work. Who knows the PPP better than Mohamed II? Hence, it bewilders that he got caught wrongfooted and asleep at the wheel. The latter can be taken literally. He had another of his interminable court appearances. It perplexes that he could have been expecting some kind of police outrider escort. Those good times are gone. How permanent or temporary is still to be decided. Me, I don’t take anything without a dash of salt. Epsom salt is better. If the British High Commission doesn’t have any spare ounces, one of those businessmen cum horseracing magnates could be a supplier. They are good soldiers in the supply business, with free shipment to expedite matters.

Advice item two: a man of Mr. Mohamed’s stature would have Guyanese believe that his fleet of vehicles is now down to one. C’mon brother, a spare wheel is helpful, but a couple of spare cars are the best. Recruit some reserves. Why wait for the last minute to examine readiness of vehicle? Have some cars and drivers on standby. How many tires will PPP Govt. agents (as alleged) puncture? I remove alleged having been victimized myself by Freedom House, Office of the President, and Office of the PM luminaries. They are such high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps that they hide behind PPP screens. When I study where the WIN man is, and what has been thrown at him so far, he has to have different contingencies in hand in case of emergencies. If he didn’t come to grips with his condition before, I assist: he is in the middle of a war. A dirty war fought by dirty people, which the next piece of advice addresses.

Advice item three: for his information and guidance, no insurance for his vehicles qualifies as an emergency. Seems like he sat on that one, waiting for it to hatch. He did, and look at the result. Stuck in a PPP snare, stranded in no man’s land, and half an hour late for Her Honor Judge Judy. I just promoted her. She should know the thinking behind that assertion. If no family member can get insurance, what are friends for, all those 11 other MPs? I am told that Mohamed II is street smart. He needs to get court smart in a hurry, work on his cerebral sluggishness. Digression, please: is this the corporate nudist colony in which Guyana’s blue-chip insurers now expose themselves unashamedly, cavort obscenely?

Advice item four: Mr. Mohamed lives in a time and place in which he must expect the worst. He must outthink, out anticipate, and outflank PPP Govt. authors, orchestrators, and executioners of vile deeds. He must be one step ahead of those who delight in being identified as The Mob. Guess whose?

Advice items five and six: Mr. Mohamed should review his past slips. Opposition Leaders aren’t allowed so many. Those with promise, of substance, can’t. Finally, for someone so social media skilled, he was pretty subdued with those stabbed and stunted tires. I wonder: PPP Govt. vandalism, or democratic centralism.

Mr. Mohamed needs a high powered security system, with infra-red lighting, The best that money can buy. This will allow him to watch the exterior of his home at all times, and he will always know who is close to his home or approaching,

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when it is put in print, for everyone to see.

As Mr. GHK says you have to think like a criminal. Remember that an ounce of prevention, is better than a pound of cure.

Always be vigilant and one step ahead of his adversaries.
