IN the November 10, 2013 issue of the Kaieteur News, Mr. Lincoln Lewis wrote that “…Government never wanted the Anti-Money Laundering Bill passed.” He seems to have lost all reason and his perception is clouded by deep prejudice.
First of all, what is the Anti-Money Laundering Bill about? Guyana and other Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries are bringing all their laws together to fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorist organisations.
Only the criminals, including narco criminals, have to gain from not passing this bill.
If Lewis thinks that the Government did not want the bill, then why did the Opposition vote against it?
Since the bill was aimed at fighting drug traffickers and the criminals will benefit from not passing the bill, then it is clear that the Opposition parties and not the governing party, are the ones who are the “real supporters of drug lords.”
Lewis so hates the PPP that it has blinded him to reality.
