David Arthur Singh i do not recall

Same here...

Guys, David Singh wAs prominent.  I remember him visiting the east bank.  My mother gave him a piece of her mind when Chandrika Sukul, who was with him, made some derogatory remarks about Indian women in the PPP.  When Sukul turned towards her, she spat at him and walked away!

Singh said absolutely nothing and seemed embarrassed!  I still believed he was poisoned!

I think the official cause was heart attack who knows the real cause, this is Guyana mysterious things happen.  He was young when he died.  His wife was Afro Guyanese.  I remember his daughters were very beautiful dougla girls. They could have been models.  Prashad remember one of them worked at the Bank of Guyana.  She was very beautiful. I forgot her name. Churchill and Gillbaka should know more about David Singh than Prashad.

Let me tell you the true story of David Arthur Singh who was appointed as Minister of Housing and Reconstruction. His law office was on Croat Street in Georgetown. He was married to a beautiful Black woman and they had lovely children. 

In the early 1970s, Hamilton Green who was then Minister of Works and Hydraulics who used his position to benefit himself, (was involved in widespread corruption building his house using Government Steel and other building materials and Government paid labour and transport). He somehow dragged David Singh into this situation. There was a call for an investigation into the matter. Forbes Burnham agreed and asked the Ombudsman, at the time former Justice GAS Van Sertima to investigate. He investigated them both and just about a few days before the investigation was to be released, it was alleged by the Gov’t that he committed suicide. Talk all over Georgetown then was that his death was set up to look like suicide by Hamilton Green. The report of the investigation was never released and shortly thereafter the Ombudsman's office was closed.

I don’t see the name Llewelyn John, who was the Minister of Home Affairs in Burnham’s first Cabinet.

Desmond Hoyle was never Minister of Home Affairs. He held the portfolio of the Minister of Economic Development.

Hoyte was minister of Home Affairs for a short time. Some PPP members claimed he told the Human Resources to fire them from the Ministry when he realized that they were PPP people working there. They claim Human Resources told them in confidence who was behind their dismissal.

David's wife was Thelma Singh who eventually became the Counsel General in New York.

Llewelyn John left and formed the Unity Party.  It bombed at the polls and died off. But who knows, Burnham rigged the elections anyway!

His wife, top Guyana Suprano singer, was friends with my mom.   She passed away a few years ago in Brooklyn!

Vibert Mingo was Minister of Home Affairs.  He was one of the people responsible for bringing Jim Jones to Guyana. I recently met some of his relatives in Brooklyn.  They are very wealthy.

My observation, seeing him a few times and my parents interaction with him, he seemed conflicted!

I don’t know Atherly.  Never met her.  Have no interest in meeting her.  Never been to any of her events.  I never hug up a black man or a GDF man.  I met the Mingo family at a private party at someone’s home who has no involvement in politics.
