I believe when President Jagdeo said that certain members of the opposition have blood on their hands he was not  only making reference to the brutal gunning down of those freedom agitators on the Corentyne, but he was speaking of a wider group of murderers, some of whom are present in our society today and are still making trouble. These individuals have committed untold numbers of atrocities, many undocumented, because that was a period of time when nobody dared question top officials on any matter particularly capital offences. Let me remind my readers of the government official who shot and killed his employee, in broad daylight for selling “contraband” goods, in the presence of eyewitnesses. That same individual is known to have eliminated his wife cold bloodedly by slipping cyanide into her coconut water at a family function. To cover up his act he had her cremated because he knew fully well that the populace would have asked for an inquest into her death and the truth would have been revealed. He was so vicious that the alleged adulterous partner, a decorated sportsman, dared not set foot in Guyana when that personality was in office for fear of him being “bumped off” also. Yet another top functionary’s wife mysteriously drowned; she too was “bumped off” for her adulterous ways and the embarrassment she caused that official. This was a period when top officials or should I say their erring spouses met their deaths under strange,unexplained circumstances. Then there was the lynch mob which masqueraded under the cloak of a religious group; let us conduct enquiries into their operations please.
Talk about mysterious deaths and phantom squads, let us first clear up these and other cruel acts mentioned above before anyone utters a word of the present regime being corrupt. I have never killed anyone nor do I have the intention to do so but those of the lot mentioned earlier lack the moral turpitude to ask for an inquest.
