Steve Merai is not amused, neither am I. I am uclear as to the purpose of your writings. I will not broadcast personal information pertaining to the Merai family on the internet. Maybe you are using spoofing technology. There are ways to track down an IP address. Stop what you are doing. You are giving me a migrane and grossly irritating others. Thank you. Peter Merai.

I am Dr Peter Merai and I live in Maryland, USA. A client of mine stated my name was in an article on the Guyanese website. I went and read it and also investigated another article where people give their views after reading. It all has to do with my brother Steve Merai. I have never written anything on any website about Steve Merai. He is a policeman and I have heard all kinds of things about him. I left Guyana in 1983 and it is impossible for me to follow the works of my brother. But I have heard a lot. Did he also kill innocent people? maybe, I don't know. That is a very unsettling and scary thought. I do not support violence of any kind. I have two other brothers in Guyana and they also do not support violence. My whole existence is based on the preservation of life. Everyone in the family over here cringes at the news of Steve's crazy interactions. There was always deep worry especially form my mother. I am sorry to say this but we often wondered about that(italics) call made to say that Steve was shot and killed because he has a horrible job. I visited Guyana in 2005 for my sister in law's funeral. I didn't hang close with Steve and stayed at the Rorima Residence Inn hotel. I wanted to return to my family alive and because of what I was hearing about my brother, that was a prudent move but it was also a sad way to think. I have told Steve numerous times to stop doing that black clothes business. We in the Merai family were very glad to hear the black clothes were no longer in operation some time ago. I do have two email addresses: petermerai@yahoo.com and petermerai@comcast.net. Many of my patients know my email addresses and a lot of them are Guyanese. A lot of themn could not believe Steve is my brother. Steve is a kind man. He is always calm. He often said we don't understand his line of work and should stay out of his business. As far as I can remember everyone in the Merai family wanted Steve to be a normal policeman and not do all that black clothes stuff. Anyone can contact me at my office 301-567-9844. Stabroek news has no authority to print an artile with my name without first contacting me. To the person who is using my name: please stop immediately! Good morning to everyone.

I must compliment you for defending your brother. I do not know about the allegations made against him, so my only comments are. 1.He that is without sin, let him cast the first stone. I can't. 2.He is one of the bravest men, I have ever known. 3. Because of his bravery and dedication, Guyana, back then, was a safer place to live, hence his elevation, is well deserved. LET US NOT THROW OUT THE BABY, WITH THE BATH WATER. I remember him as a young officer, let's forgive the mistakes of youth. How many of us, with his education and good background, would have undertaken his assignments. I am personally thankful to him, for my safety before I left Guyana. Tell John I said Hi and that 4/22, is just around the corner. Peter. I must compliment you for defending your brother. I do not know about the allegations made against him, so my only comments are.

Can you prove he was in London?. Why would a man run away from a bounty hunter and turn right back and come home? Can you prove Steve and his men boasted about 'hits' made? Who was your cousin? Why didn't you report what happened to the police and media? Why are you talking about this now? Could it be that this never happened? You said everything you said is factual right? Where is your proof? You can't get axed because you are nameless and faceless. Don't hide behind a screen name. Identify yourself. Now for the fella who talked about Steve's 4x4. That was an overpriced pathfinder. Steve eventually had to give it up because he couldn't make the payments ( I hope he is not reading this). Steve was never the judge, jury and executioner. It usually went like this: The top brass will have a late night meeting. Some decisions are made. Steve is handed a list with orders. He complies. Steve Merai has an incredibly unusual dislike for rapist and murderers. He would take out a killer for nothing. Steve has often told me about the pure horror unleashed on unsuspecting innocent people at the hands of these fellas. He had to deal with that on a daily basis. Those guys knew what would happen when Steve comes into town. They had plenty on time to turn themselves in. Can anyone name an innocent upstanding guyanese that was killed by Steve Merai? Shaka Blair was a political situation. Steve should have never went there but he was ordered to. That incident seriously damaged his reputation. And for the record, Steve did not kill Mr. Blair. Another policeman admitted to that. Despite what everyone says here, we are all equally entitled to express an opinion. Lets give up some love for Guyana. Happy New Year to you all.

Man, the police still find a way to promote and appease those with serious allegations against them within. Steve Merai was trying so hard to leave the police force and Guyana when he went to Canada and tried to gain Landed Immigrant status as a refugee but was denied by the Canadians because his life was not in danger and he was capable of being protected by the Guyana police force. What was in danger was him being definitely arrested and tried by the GT court, but he has friends there so he's still not prosecuted till now... It bother's me to see people like Merai and more like him in the GPF still there and is being rewarded for their nasty ways. How in God’s name can Steve “Bobby” Merai get promoted?
