SOME non-governmental organisations, including Help and Shelter, Red Thread, Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination and the Guyana Human Rights Association must explain the reasons for their deafening silence on this particular matter involving serious accusations against Raphael Trotman.

If Johnny Welshman had made those allegations against a senior Government functionary or People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) member, there would have been no limit to the expressions of outrage, controversy, and condemnation of the act and the alleged perpetrator.

If Welshman is able to make a case and prove his accusations against the three males who allegedly sexually molested him, then every single non-governmental organisation here would have a lot of explaining to do.
Take a look at how they were and are seemingly fully deaf, dumb, and blind to C.N. Sharma’s alleged transgressions.
Take a look at how they are seemingly fully deaf, dumb, and blind to media mogul Glenn Lall’s alleged criminal actions.
Take a look at how they went after the Government when a police officer burnt a gang member’s penis where it was alleged that he and his gang murdered a PPP member.
To this day no one ever said how he or she came into having possession of those photos they plastered all over for the world to see.
It means that the Opposition and the private media have all infiltrated every public institution and can access the goods on Government at will.
I can recall when former President Bharrat Jagdeo would order the GDF to go along with the police to rid Buxton of weapons and criminals.
From the time the army and police gathered up to leave for their raid the message was already sent to Buxton that security would be at that location at the specified time.
Does anyone think the independent and free media would bother to dig to find out who were the moles in security passing on the info to the criminals?
These are just a couple of examples where most Guyanese know that Opposition and the Opposition-aligned media have infiltrated all institutions in Guyana.
Take a look how the judiciary has been infiltrated already; where Opposition lawyers and criminal lawyers are making rings around the poor saps we called prosecutors.
If one were to look very deeply one will have no other choice but to conclude that even some of the magistrates who are not in the pockets of Opposition and criminal lawyers are very much afraid for their very own lives, since they too know that these people are not fooling around.
The sad part of all of this is that the elected Government cannot do anything but to sit helplessly and ride with it.
The Opposition and those so-called NGOs will continue to trample on the majority of good citizens of Guyana.
