Dear Editor,
I refer to your article on January 31 in which you reported that Magistrate Ramdhani refused to take a breathalyser test after being involved in a serious motor vehicle accident.
You also reported that he misbehaved at the police station and that there may be some settlement in this matter involving the victims.
I wish to state that I find all of this entirely disturbing and I hope that the Chancellor, the DPP and the Police will have a serious review of this situation.
Clearly the ranks felt that the magistrate was drunk and required the test. In many countries it is a criminal offence to merely refuse to take the test.
The magistrate obviously feels that he is above the law and the law should now deal with him condignly, after due process.
As for the notion that there could be a settlement in criminal matters — this is all nonsense and against the laws of Guyana.
Too often, people who have money get away with their crime because they can pay off their poor victims. This should stop.
This should not prevent the prosecution from going forward. I do hope that the Chancellor strong action in this matter.
Ramon Gaskin
