Dear Editor,
IN a letter published in the February 25, 2025, edition of Kaieteur News under the heading “Understanding Sanctions against the Mohameds,” Danny Ramnarine accused Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo of engaging in erroneous propaganda regarding the US sanctions against the Mohameds.
Ramnarine argued that the American judicial and legal system does not operate on the principle of guilt by association and that the sanctions only apply to Americans conducting business with the Mohameds.
However, if that were the case, he should explain why the US visas of over 100 individuals associated with the Mohameds— all Guyanese nationals—were revoked, most of them following the announcement of the sanctions.
Furthermore, it seems that Ramnarine is contradicting his own stance, acting as the Mohameds’ lead campaigner. He should also clarify whether this relationship is linked to his recent encounters with US law enforcement officials while traveling on two separate occasions.
Readers should be aware that Ramnarine’s letter is yet another attempt to mislead—just as he misled investors and APNU+AFC government officials in 2019.
His much-publicised “US$18 million Craig shore base oil venture,” which was supposed to create over 200 jobs, never progressed beyond the signing stage. To this day, it remains nothing more than a failed publicity stunt.
Yours sincerely,
Alvin Hamilton
