Dear Editor,
Concerning the Kaieteur News report, “Jagdeo says Roger Khan’s ‘spy’ equipment in Guyana,” (March 10), the President reportedly said that the spy equipment that is at the centre of the Roger Khan controversy is still in Guyana, contradicting reports in the media that it was shipped to America by Khan’s attorney and confiscated by the FBI.
By making this bold statement, the President may be expanding if not perpetuating this controversy over the spy equipment, so it makes sense if the President furnishes the media with a copy of the specifications of the equipment still in Guyana, including serial number and brand name.
After all, the equipment seized by the FBI from the office of Khan’s lawyer has a serial number and other manufacturer’s specifications that will match the bill of sale records in the Spy Store in Florida, whose owners also showed the FBI a copy of a letter from the Guyana Government authorising the sale of the equipment to Khan!
Moreover, since the Guyana Government is sure it still has the equipment, could it say how the equipment came to be in Khan’s possession? That is, did it not authorise, via a government letter head, the procurement of the equipment?
Ironically, this is a very serious issue with international implications that draw the government into a scandal of doing business with an alleged drug baron, and so the President has to know and not just believe anything when he speaks on the matter. And I am still curious to know who actually tendered the letter in person to the Spy Store in Florida, picked up the equipment and had it shipped to Guyana? Was it Khan? If so, how did he leave Guyana?
