Glen Lall's brother fingered in Customs fraud!

A $300M fraud was recently unearthed at Customs. Cashiers and IT technicians were fingered.

Glen Lall's brother Reaz Khan was fingered as one of the businessmen who benefited significantly from this.

I hope Kaieteur News extends their investigative reporting to this one in the same way they have done in relation to the Ministry of Agriculture and contracts.

What if.......

If the PPP was to be replaced by the PNC/AFC would Prime News and Capitol News still be in existence?

No! NCN is already the state media. Henrico would head NCN, Adumbrated Jackarse would head GINA. Gaymoseley would be the editor-in-chief of NCN whilst Dew-lia Johnson would take Shanta's job at GINA.

Wha deh gon do with Nazima Buggabhir?

The Hamids being true to their committment!

Household plus being true to their commitment to rebuild. As seen in photos above the debris cleared and preparations ongoing.

Kissoon, this man who's discontented with his coolieness weaving his web of deceit!

Freddie Kissoon:I have two takes on the Health Ministry fire. One was that it was a stratagem to take the heat off Minister Ramsammy. It could also be that documents too incriminating, existed in that building and the opportunity presented itself when a demonstration followed the arrest of Benschop and Lewis.
Now we have the shooting up of Brickdam Police Station, the High Court and Richard Ishmael Secondary School. Strange how these attacks come right in the middle of nasty moments of embarrassment for the Government.
The Health Ministry fire occurred when evidence was mounting that Dr Leslie Ramsammy was a working partner of Shaheed ‘Roger’ Khan. Now after a torture case that is making news worldwide and a possible revocation of the visa of top political elites, we read about gunmen going on a rampage.
Funny thing is that just about four hours after the Ministry of Health fire, the police knew who they were looking for. An important factor that should be given consideration in the configuration of things is whether these attacks on state institutions is not a strategy to force the Americans to back down in the visa policy because the US officials may see that there is a violent conspiracy that intends to devastate the elected government in Guyana
I doubt that it will deter the Americans.

Time and time again Guyanese will not buy this same argument from opposition apologists and those in support of criminal behaviour. I am not surprised by Kissoon's attempt to deflect despite a tendency by this band of criminals who are not afraid of unleashing terror on Kissoon's own. Then again he was ashamed of being of Indo-Guyanese ethnicity.

The work of the auditor generals office is a day to day one and it extends to all government entities. As such, they have a continuous presence at all government entities. And if Benschop and his cronies choose to destroy any government building it would not be unusual to find that the auditor generals office is conducting work there.

Further, the same argument being made by Freddie and the other spinners could be made against the attackers. That they time their attacks to fuel suspicions of government involvement.

Just as I predicted, the opposition spin doctors, propagandists, apologists and surrogates in the media are on full throttle.

As I predicted yesterday, last night the opposition spin doctors, propagandists, apologists and surrogates in the media were on full throttle.

From Prime News, to Capitol News straight through to First Look News this morning, they were all in full swing. Spinning and spinning!

Nazima Ragubhir kicked the show off of course by insinuating that the attempted arson on the High Court was as a result of the presence of the Auditor General and his team.
This is despite the fact that the Auditor General himself stated that his work their was unhindered by the fire.

It's the same thing they did in the aftermath of the Ministry of Health arson.
They work with good co-ordination!
Mark Benschop, Rickford Burke, Juliet Holder-Allen, Norris Whitter and Lincoln Lewis recruit and provide the funding, Bage, a few remnants of the Buxton/Agricola gang and some new ones they were able to recruit carry out the acts and the rest is handled by Nazima, Adam, Gordon and Co.

Glen Lall is unable to see how they are prostituting his hatred for Bharrat.

Keith Burrowes answers his critics.

Keith Burrowes: It is after great consideration that I’ve decided to bring into the public domain the following issue, against my own initial instinct and the advice of friends who believe that addressing it forthwith would only exacerbate the problem. Over the past month, I have been forced to endure what is becoming an increasingly vicious campaign of character assassination, perpetrated primarily through the peddling of lies via e-mails and on some blogs.

First of all, I should say that I have never been overly sensitive. For years, I have held various public offices and can deal with unwarranted criticisms and negative actions – I am neither bothered by the downright lies peddled by these bloggers nor of their name calling exercise against me. However, in recent days, I have noticed a worrying tendency, on their part, to extend their lies to my family. They have crossed the line.

The extent to which these people are willing to engage in a smear campaign raises important questions and challenges for those who may wish to serve and make a contribution to this country. It is against this background that I wish to put my service to the state into perspective.

I am not nor have I ever been a card-bearing member of any political party; I’ve always served in the interest of fairness.

My contribution to what I would consider public service began in the early 1980s when the then President Forbes Burnham asked me to be part of a team to manage a portion of land which he had donated to the school I attended at that time for a farm project. I received an award, from President Burnham, for my stewardship of that land and other resources connected to it. That was an experience that taught me the value of service to community and country. It is one I shall never forget. That project assisted with revenue for the school as well as provided food, at a reasonable cost, to students, teachers and other residents.

Under President Desmond Hoyte, I worked on a number of projects connected to public activities. During my tenure, at a city bank, the President was invited to be patron of the flagship activity for our evenings of classical music. He kindly consented and attended the sessions. In the early 90s, President Dr. Cheddi Jagan was invited and also agreed to be patron of that very activity, which he was vocal in his praise of. The proceeds were used for a noble cause in a local community. During the presidencies of both Desmond Hoyte and Dr. Cheddi Jagan, I served on state boards and was involved in a number of activities aimed at improving the lives of citizens in different local communities. I had and still do have a policy that all board fees paid to me should be donated to the welfare of the employees of organizations or the entities in which I served.

Some citizens may recall that when a merger was announced between the bank where I served and another bank, I had cause to brief the public through several press conferences in an effort to ensure that the workers got their deserved payments and other benefits. Those employees were the ones who kept the entity together during the toughest of times and I was not prepared to allow anyone to short-change them.

I am an unrepentant nationalist. Therefore, I am always willing to serve for the development of Guyana. I believe that I have a serious responsibility as a citizen to use my expertise, knowledge and skills to advance the interest of this nation. Under the current PPP/C administration, I have been asked to serve on several boards, to which I have agreed. Much to their credit, no one in that political party has ever tried to influence me to compromise my principles or integrity. In fact, I have been able to operate without hindrance. I have the ease of performing my duties with a high level of professionalism.

It is common knowledge that recently I served as the Commissioner of Inquiry into the affairs of the Mayor and City Council. I did that at great personal sacrifice but with fairness and objectivity. It was tedious and there were many serious challenges. However, I did it knowing fully well that the work of the Commission would ultimately improve the work of the Council, positively impact on the quality of municipal service, and consequently advance the interest of the City of Georgetown. Again, in keeping with my policy of not accepting remuneration for the public service I’m engaged in, I distributed the money paid to me for the work conducted by the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) to the team of non-Commission members who assisted the work of the said Commission. It must be said that I am serving in these various areas in the face of my commitment to a full-time job as Executive Director of the Health Sector Development Unit.

It is my considered view, that race, in particular, and associated partisan politics have negatively affected the development of this country. Everything appears to be measured by the colour line rather than national goals. There are so many who are competent and willing to act in the public interest but who are afraid of being chastised or smeared. People who refuse to serve in various capacities for the public good under this, or indeed any, administration because of fear of shadows – with their own personal agendas – are providing traction to the work of the mischief-makers and according them exactly what they want.

In closing, I would like to directly address those who are behind this campaign – I have engaged in public service in a public and open manner; therefore, it would only be fitting, once what you are disseminating by covert means has any validity or veracity – to come out in the open and publicly express your feelings. It was Confucius who said “three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth. I remain committed to serving Guyana, without favour and most importantly without fear.

The Opposition spin doctors will be on full throttle today!

In light of what is clearly an orchestrated attempt to permeate fear on our society, and destabilize the current government I urge that we be on the lookout today for the opposition spin doctors, propagandists, apologists and surrogates in the media who will no doubt seek to discredit what ever leads investigators might have so far gotten or evidence that might emerge.

Already we have received reports that evidence so far implicate Mark Benschop. Today the opposition media will be on full throttle in an effort to deceive. The government will be accused of being behind the terror campaign in an effort to draw attention away from the torture issue.
