JUST a while ago, the Opposition media and its acolytes were up in arms, calling for the head of the Attorney-General for what he said or was deemed to have said during a private conversation with a reporter who ran to his Boss, and who, in turn, wasted no time in using that tape to add to his arsenal in trying to bring down the PPP/C Government.However, it is very ironical when I read about the magistrate who was suspended for sexual harassment and use of indecent language in open court; yet that incident was only not reported in the Opposition media, but no comments are forthcoming from certain legal circles, and the women’s organisations which were so vociferous in the AG’s matter. They have not come forward and made any statement in support of the woman who was so vilified by the Magistrate.
My only conclusion is that, after being so clamorous about the Attorney-General, they are completely spent! But they are so selective, since they have their own sinister agendas. Their reticence is echoing loud and clear!
Moreover, some time ago, the Leader of the Opposition pronounced that Guyana is a ‘narco-state’; and even before then, it has always been the mantra of the Opposition that none of the big drug dealers has ever been prosecuted in the Courts.
Here is the irony! A man who has admitted to having 76kg of cocaine in his possession and being in unlawful possession of ammunitions was actually freed by the same Magistrate. Is it a coincident that this same man was represented by Attorney-at-Law, James Bond, who is an APNU Member of Parliament? Who is promoting and protecting the ‘narco-state’? In addition, just look back at who freed the ‘Lusignan killers’ and how they were freed. Who represented them? The same man who wants to be the Prime Minister of Guyana. Yet these same people in the opposition are clamoring about rising crime levels and that ‘Rohee must go’! Who do you think must go? Such hypocrisy!
