An early morning accident has left one Customs Anti Narcotics Unit Rank and another man with minor injuries after the vehicle they were in turned turtle on the Soesdyke Public Road. This newspaper was told that the incident occurred sometime around 05:00 hours yesterday. Reports are that the vehicle had earlier in the morning transported Head of CANU, James Singh, to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. This newspaper was told that Singh left yesterday morning for Jamaica for a training course. The vehicle, PHH 5757, was returning to the city and was driven by a mechanic who is neither employed by CANU nor authorised to drive it. This newspaper was also informed that a CANU rank was onboard the Toyota Land Cruiser. It is not clear what transpired, but eyewitnesses said they saw the vehicle flip over twice before coming to a screeching halt. A bit later, a tow truck was seen pulling the vehicle away from the scene.

President Jagdeo's press officer, Kwame McCoy through the help of Dr. Roger Luncheon has recently gained entry into a UK college. However, McCoy was recently told that he is not allowed to enter the UK. Many are of the view that this has to do with Kwame's sexual relationships with under aged boys. The US State Department revoked his visa after it was made public that he was using his office to solicit sex from a 14 year old school boy. The Canadians have also denied him entry into Canada after applying late last year. To date, the president has refused to remove Kwame from the Office of the President, and as a Commissioner on the Rights of the Child's Commission.

Dear Editor,

Of course I am grateful that the Kaieteur News, at least, published a portion of my initial response to the sop set forth in Priya Mahase’s hubristic rant. However, I am somewhat chastened over the manner Kaieteur News, in an apparent attempt to maintain the standard of imbalance that benefits the nuevo ethnic and political aristocracy of Guyana, fragmented my letter to a point where sentences were left hanging in mid air. Priya Mahase and the IAC enjoy a total monopoly of the public media paid for by Guyanese across the board, and use this as a platform from which to launch ad hominem assaults on those the ruling aristocracy do not like. Given that reality, one would hope and expect that at least one of the two privately owned print media news outlets would make a token effort towards achieving some kind of balance in this lopsided society.

I began this piece on Friday evening as soon as I came from work; the Sunday columns have to be in at Kaieteur early Saturday morning. In keeping with my promise to myself as outlined in my Friday article, I plan to pursue the topics that I put in my work schedule over the weeks and months. So I came home Friday night and began to analyse the speech President Jagdeo gave at Ogle airport last year to mark the certification of the airport to conduct regional flights. It was an important political presentation by Mr. Jagdeo for the fundamental reason in that like so many elegant deliverances in the past by his predecessors, the delivery failed to recognize the missing link to Guyana’s future.

If authorities had heeded the order issued by then Minister of Home Affairs, Gail Teixeira, in 2006, Friday morning’s double homicide at the Georgetown Prison might have been avoided. This is the view of both current and former inmates, who are convinced that the state must take responsibility for the deaths of murder accused Solomon Blackman and Dawan Singh.
Blackman was allegedly beaten to death by fellow remand prisoners after he had bludgeoned Singh to death while they were being housed in the capital section of the Camp Street facility. Blackman being led from the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court after one of his many previous court appearances.

A well known defender of the PPP regime produced a letter lauding the civil rights activities of Reverend the Doctor Martin Luther. In this process he quoted Martin Luther King's comment that "I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government.”. In a nation where the Auditor General's report and reams of evidence suggest massive corruption, nepotism and all sorts of skullduggery in and among the Political elite and state agencies, I would argue that a true tribute to the memory of Martin Luther King would be an admission of these facts. That while the Government of Guyana and its Ministers beat on their chest and postulate about crime and the rule of law, we are witnessing the greatest purveyance of the very things they rail against occurring unimpeded under their very noses.
