Saga of the perverted presidential hopefuls
They attempt to project themselves as the guardians of society, upright and moral, but the underlying decay seeps out like effluent from a breached sewer. They sit for hours and pontificate on issues, citing corruption by public officials and weaving their spider’s webs of lies and half-truths, hoping to catch the unwary voters. They are the presidential hopefuls of Guyana, and one by one they are being exposed as pedophiles, as psychopaths, as thieves and fraudsters, as liars of no mean order, and latterly, as voyeurs, if not pornographic merchants.
And when they are caught in the act they scream their innocence, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, but they have money and they can buy their way out of trouble, which they do, but there is a Guyanese proverb that says “ every day bucket a go a well and one day the bottom will drop out.” And the day has eventually caught up with several of those who are convinced that their clever rhetoric and semantics will get them out of trouble and keep their reputations intact.
One pedophile, who purports to help vulnerable women offers monetary and material help, then helps himself to their girl-children, some of them little more than babies.
Prakash Persaud recently exposed two fraudsters who, being lawyers, subverted the law to rob him of millions of dollars.
On Monday there was another expose when Police, acting on information received, obtained and executed a search warrant on a building owned by Mr. Peter Ramsaroop at Lot 261 Forshaw and New Garden Streets, Queenstown, Georgetown.
The building houses several apartments, but the police were only able to access one occupied by a female named Nicole Ming, 19, the sole occupant. The search revealed the existence of three covert cameras. One was hidden in a clock on the wall that obtains a panoramic view of the apartment, another was hidden in a radio in the bathroom, and a third focused on her bed.
Nicole Ming indicated that she rented the apartment about two months ago from Mr. Peter Ramsaroop and that, about a week ago, he requested that she leave her keys with him as he had to fix an electrical problem. On her return she observed an instrument on the wall with a light flashing.
She also stated that, about two weeks ago, she had replaced a battery in the clock in which one of the cameras was found. At that time there was no camera affixed to the clock. Ming expressed her fears that Mr. Peter Ramsaroop may have been recording her, and she made these fears known to the relevant authorities..
The police became suspicious that Mr. Ramsaroop may be in possession of pornographic material featuring Ming and may be distributing pornography with her as the unwitting central feature. They consequently obtained warrants to search his apartment, as well as his office at Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara. At the time he was overseas. But, upon his return on May 17, 2010, the warrants were executed in his presence by the police, who confiscated two computer hard drives and a digital video recorder from his apartment, and two computer hard drives from his office.
Mr. Peter Ramsaroop has denied the allegations of possession and distribution of pornography and indicated in a written statement that he once used the apartment to house an office for his employees, when he installed cameras, and did not remove all of the cameras when he rented it to Nicole Ming.
He is currently on $20,000.00 cash bail pending investigations, but he is alleging that the accusations are politically motivated.
However, Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee yesterday told a press conference that police raiding Alliance for Change (AFC) Chief Executive, Peter Ramsaroop’s building in Queenstown, on Monday afternoon, were not politically motivated in any way, but that the police were just doing their job and acted in accordance with the law.
Minister Rohee said that he was briefed on the matter.
He told media operatives, “Peter Ramsaroop is not above the law, no one is above the law, and the police, once they stick to the legal procedures that require a search, then they acted in accordance with the law..
“My understanding is that they acted in accordance with the law. They had a warrant for the search and did it in the presence of Mr. Ramsaroop, and the question of his being searched because of politics, I think it is a non- starter and has nothing to do with the matter.”
According to Minister Rohee, Mr. Ramsaroop is a free politician to invoke such a claim, but he doubts that the action on part of the police was triggered out of political consideration by the Guyana Police Force.
The Minister said the search was carried out by the police following a complaint made by a citizen and the matter is being procedurally investigated.
The police raid stemmed from allegations that Ramsaroop was producing pornography and was broadcasting it via the internet. Ramsaroop once worked with the Pentagon in Washington as a computer contractor.
