–PPP General Secretary affirms
GENERAL Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, on Thursday, affirmed that the government has no fear of what Assistant Commissioner of Police, Calvin Brutus has to say.
He was at the time responding to questions raised at his Thursday press conference, where reporters inquired about ramblings in the media which suggested that Brutus who is embroiled in allegations of money laundering and other financial crimes, had a “bag of cats” to let out.

When asked if he was concerned whether this “bag of cats” may be PPP cats, the General Secretary indicated that he was not worried.
“He could let out cats, dogs, pigs anything that he has and he wants to let out, let him let it out,” Jagdeo said.
Against this backdrop, he said that he believes Brutus might be hoping there is fear in some quarters of the government that he could say something that is compromising to the government.

“He is hoping that maybe there will be fear in some quarters in the government that he could say something that’s compromising to us and they would relent on ensuring that justice is served; he got to be thinking again if that’s the case,” the General Secretary said.
Jagdeo added that Brutus could say whatever he wants and added that the government has no fear of what he has to say.
“You see us worried about this? We’re very calm. He could say anything,” he related.

Brutus along with his wife over the last few months have been embroiled in investigations concerning allegations of money laundering and financial crimes. The Assistant Commissioner of Police is also being investigated for misconduct in public office.
On Thursday, Brutus was arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court with a total of 30 charges ranging from misconduct in public office, money laundering and obtaining money by false pretense read to him.
