I would not dignify the cobwebs in Wesley Kirton’s mind by enumerating for him my contribution to my homeland. Those things are best left for healthy debates and Kirton’s letter on behalf of the current Vice Chancellor of UG is not a healthy debate but incestuous implorations on behalf of friendship.
He enumerated all the things he has done for Guyana. I hope he is not foolish enough to think I believe him. When you read Kirton’s eulogy of the Vice Chancellor of UG, it is easy to detect a con artist at work. Now, about police random stops. This is my problem with Diaspora fools like Kirton. They don’t live in Guyana. They don’t want to live in Guyana, so they don’t know what is taking place here and they put their ignorance on display.
If Kirton took an interest in Guyanese affairs as equal as he does in American affairs, he would know for five consecutive years, the high command of the police force has issued a traffic guideline. It stipulates that a police rank has the legal authority to stop any citizen in Guyana but the requirements must be observed for that stop to be legal. One is that the rank must have reasonable suspicion. Two – the rank has to tell the driver what the suspicion is about.
The police force has issued instructions to the traffic ranks that they must not engage in random stop but request a driver to stop only under two circumstances. They observe the committal of a violation and they have reasonable suspicion. If Kirton used to live in Guyana, he would know there was a big flare up between a Berbice attorney and a traffic rank involving those two requirements.
The confrontation was given nationwide coverage. For the education of Kirton who does not live in Guyana, I repeat, the traffic ranks cannot put out his hand, stop a car and request to see documents. They do that in Kirton’s country, the US. We don’t do that in Guyana. I repeat my advice to driver; do not submit to a random stop. It is not proper police procedure. Former lieutenant colonel, in the GDF, Frankie Bispham, who is currently security consultant to GWI, did the right thing outside of the Sparendaam Police Station. He refused to submit to a random stop and demanded to know what the reason was for the instruction to pull over. The rank had none and so waved Bispham on his way.
Finally, all these business contacts that Kirton initiated, I do not see the fruits of them. Maybe he has to keep trying. I leave him with some advice. Read the letter section of the newspapers and you will see descriptions of the shocking lack of sources at UG composed not by Freddie Kissoon or anyone associated with Freddie Kissoon but honest students and lecturers who want a proper tertiary education like the one Kirton’s kids got when he proceeded to leave Gyana and adopt the US as his home. Just one question, Wesley, why did you forsake your country of birth? Did someone force you out? If so, why like me and countless others, you didn’t stay and fight?
