After serving as House Speaker for over 20 years, Sase Narain, a lawyer by profession, has said that he is not the
least bit surprised by the despicable actions of Attorney General Nandlall as he exposed a plot to viciously attack Kaieteur News publisher, Glenn Lall, and his staff members.
The expose was contained in a 19-minute long recorded conversation with a Kaieteur News reporter.
Yesterday, Mr Narain said that the People’s Progressive Party has always been vociferous in its quest for absolute domination. Such behaviour during the time he served as Speaker from 1971 to 1992, he said, showed itself in some of the most obvious forms and at times in the most subtle ways.
Narain said that he is not shocked by Nandlall’s behaviour for he saw those signs since the 1970s. The only difference in this era is that the government is simply showing its true colours without all the subtlety.
The House Speaker then reflected on Nandlall’s conversation that contained the Attorney General’s admission that he took money from one Ministry for his wife’s health but emphasized that the money was repaid.
“I want to ask Nandlall, lawyer to lawyer, if you commit a crime, as in you thief money but you give back the stolen funds, does that mean you didn’t commit the crime? That you should be pardoned? You committed a crime that attracts a penalty,” Narain said.
The political opposition recently stated that this aspect will be investigated.
Narain said, too, that the government has deteriorated considerably. “Nandlall’s actions do not shock me. Look at the persons they are putting in these prominent positions. But when you talk in this country you become a victim. That’s what politics has gone to. When you don’t support the government it tries to break you; that’s politics now.”
Narain said that the AG’s action reflects government’s obsession with dominating the media “so you can only
hear their side. It’s frightening, it is scary, but we the people need to be courageous and stand up…The media play a chief role in ensuring democracy.”
The political opposition—the Alliance For Change and A Partnership for National Unity, the Guyana Human Rights Association, the legal fraternity, and even the international media community have all expressed support to stand alongside the publication and have also condemned Nandlall for his actions. Calls continue to mount daily for the resignation of the Attorney General despite Government’s continued support for its “blue-eyed boy who was caught with his pants down”.
In the recorded conversation, Nandlall said, “No, hear nah, you know how it gun stop? Somebody gun go into Kaieteur…You see everybody nah gat, as I told Adam (Harris) today …I said Adam, everybody don’t just…everybody, wait hold on…everybody doesn’t have a newspaper to use as a weapon. I told Adam, I said ‘Adam people got weapons, right?
“Is not newspaper they gonna use as a weapon; they got weapons and when you continue attack people like that and they have no way of responding they gun just walk with their weapon into that same f***ing Saffon Street office and wha come suh do, and innocent…Peter gun gah pay fuh f***ing Paul in deh one day.
“Me ah tell you innocent, me ah tell you honestly, man to man, that will happen soon. So the quicker you get out of deh the better.”
Describing himself as a “thoroughbred” and as a “Kshatriya” (pronounced Chatree), a reference to an upper social class in India known to be united by their claims to rulership, the pursuit of war, or the possession of land, Nandlall hurled a string of expletives in his almost 19-minute berate on the intended plan against Lall.
He portrayed himself as a “bad-man” who “running things” in Guyana. He boasted that the former President, Bharrat Jagdeo, his best friend Bobby Ramroop and Winston Brassington are no match for him.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
