Dear Editor,
I essentially agree with Freddie Kissoon’s take on the recent sexual allegations issues, that East Indians who are opposed to the PPP are being discriminatingly targeted for judicial actions.
Without making any pronunciations on guilt or innocence, the alacrity and pattern of law enforcement reaction in the matters involving CN Sharma and Peter Ramsaroop clearly suggest that something really stinks in Denmark, so to speak.
There is a doctrine in the judicial arena defined as “The Clean Hands Doctrine”. In a nutshell, it requires those who are parties to petitions before the Courts to be unconnected with behaviours that happen to be the subject matter of their complaint or petition.
There are very few situations in this world that present better examples of violation of this “Clean Hands” doctrine than what has come to define law enforcement in Guyana over the past 18 years.
From the extremities of a convicted felon and narcotic trafficker waxing piously about being a crime fighter, to the convenient concern for victims of sexual abuse, as evidenced in the Kwame McKoy and Peter Ramsaroop situations, the political state, its agents and agencies, continue to come to the table of justice with their hands in states of obnoxious uncleanliness.
Again, evidence of the evolving Orwellian patterns of governance that has come to define the order in the Republic.
The shameful examples of Ronald Gajraj and Clement Rohee’s blatant violation of the independent clause in law enforcement operations has come to represent a devolution in the standard of law enforcement in Guyana over the past 18 years. Notwithstanding of the historical issues affecting our nation, law enforcement in Guyana had heretofore served as an example throughout the English speaking Caribbean. So much so, that our police officers were in great demand in Commonwealth Caribbean territories as trainers and advisors.
Sadly law enforcement in Guyana today have become an emulation of Pavlovian conditioning, where partisan enforcement is being rewarded, and that which embodies the principles of “without favour or affection, malice or ill-will”, is targeted for punished.
The pushing out of ex Commissioner of Police Winston Felix offers livid testimony this reality. I pray that the good Lord take it upon himself to help us, because we certainly, as a nation, seem incapable of helping ourselves.
