TRULY, I am not at all surprised at the attempted assassination of this wonderful and professional lady, and a lady she is, while known to be businesslike, dynamic, enthusiastic, and if I may say good looking.

I am at great pains with all of the sane persons of this country over this attempted murder.  She was divinely protected for her time was not yet, she had to accomplish her mission and because God so decreed for she was a good and humane person. 

I believe the suspicion of her sister as to why it was attempted is erroneous, but her pains are understood.  From its style, the assassination was a high powered hit, gone awry because of the rains and confusion, her vehicle windows were up, and the slow movement of vehicle caused the bullet not to hit its deadly mark.  She had to have touched on vital and most sensitive information, which they knew, which could and most likely bring serious criminal charges and seizure of assets, and which may even cause our government to seek to haul in the Head of C.L. Financial.  For an attempt on a professional person’s life, some investigators like to commence from the bottom, serious attention need to be paid at the top.

Is it not shocking, actually amazing, that a young woman put to conduct the affairs of investigation and auditing this obviously corrupted empire, with all its intricacies, would be left unprotected?  The Administration of this country has to wake up; the coffee is brewing and smelling heavily. The protection and back up must be provided to those who need it whenever such matters are under investigation.  Similarly, when the Auditor General was conducting the Polar Beer scandal, he should have been provided additional protection.

This lady should have been given maximum protection 24 hours daily, and while it may have inconvenienced her life for the time, she could have been appropriately counselled to permit the protection. 

I seriously believe others involved in the investigation and compilation need protection also, which should include 24-hour bodyguard service, and escort service with an independent vehicle and equipped manpower.  Do not wait until it is too late, when lives are lost, and families shattered before you act.  Such a person could have been given a Presidential Guard, Police or from an equipped private security service.

Our hearts, support, friendship, prayers go out to the van Beek family and to her patriotic and wonderful parents and relatives.
