Questions for Hons Harmon and Ramjattan
I crave your indulgence in granting me space in your letters column to direct three questions to the following honourable gentlemen of the 11th Parliament, the Hon Minister of the Presidency Joseph Harmon and the Hon Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan.
It is highly commendable for the state of Guyana to grant amnesty for illegal firearms to be turned in, however my first question is: Will the amnesty also apply to the 150 AK 47s, that was stated on record to have been supplied to one Corbin of the PNC now APNU along with others that are still outstanding from the GDF inventory that was disclosed by the GDF’s competent authority at the Dr Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, since a replica of the AK 47 is not shown among the other replicas shown in the media under the amnesty?
My second question: Can you Hon gentlemen honestly in the interest of transparency and accountability by Government, inform this Nation by way of photos, names, crimes and sentences handed down to the 60 convicts pardoned by the state in view of the current criminal activities being perpetrated on hard working Guyanese on a daily basis, by placing in the media the information of their convections similar to how the media published the photos, names and personal information of the female Bartica workers, to their humiliation and embarrassment, by Minister Simona Broomes for alleged trafficking?
My third question: Were there any female prisoners eligible to be pardoned? If not, this then is gender discrimination of the worst kind. Over to you, Red Thread!
