President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday challenged drug trafficker Roger Khan to “speak whatever he knows” about his connections here and who he was fighting for saying that he is not afraid and or worried about anything Khan would reveal.
“Let Khan speak whatever he knows because this so-called informant can’t know what I want. I have publicly said that Khan must say who he was fighting on behalf of…,” Jagdeo said in reference to a statement made by US government informant, Selwyn Vaughn whose explosive testimony in the US trial of Khan’s former attorney Robert Simels has again triggered questions about Khan’s connections to the present administration.
The Head of State declared at a press conference at the Office of the President that his administration has nothing to hide, and that he would welcome what Khan has to say at any time. He said his government saw both the Buxton gang and Khan’s outfit as criminal enterprises, which it was opposed to since “our job is to bring down criminal enterprises”.
Speaking to reporters at the press conference, who he said seemed eager to ask about the revelations in the Simels’ trial, Jagdeo said, “I am here to take your questions. But let me make it clear that this government will never sanction the killing of people or encourage it or work with anyone to do this. In fact, when Roger Khan issued a full page ad saying he was helping the government to fight criminals, I publicly said at that time, ‘ you tell us which government you were helping because it couldn’t be this government,’” Jagdeo declared.
The President said he is not afraid of anything Khan has to say and said that if Khan was allegedly killing criminals in Buxton he could not have been helping his administration.
President Bharrat Jagdeo
“Maybe if at the end of the day, if all the criminals were to deal with each other we may have a better society but I am not going to sanction that. This is not government policy… but I wouldn’t lose any sleep, frankly speaking, about criminals when they kill each other,” Jagdeo said.
“I shouldn’t say this as Head of State but I am saying this because that is the truth. I don’t lose any sleep, but when innocent people are killed it bothers me tremendously; people who beg them for their lives and are shot. People who [suffer] hijacking…,” he said continued.
Questioned about US informant Vaughn, Jagdeo said he never knew of him prior to the newspaper reports that are now emerging. He said if the Guyana Police Force had information about Vaughn prior to him leaving for the US then questions about why he was not held and possibly prosecuted should be directed to the police commissioner.
“This is the first time I have ever heard of the name. In fact, this is the first time I have ever heard of this person and they said to me that he is from Plaisance,” Jagdeo said, referring to Vaughn.
Still on Vaughn, Jagdeo said what he found very strange and revealing in the [SN] article was that the informant was part of the gang that executed Ronald Waddell. Jagdeo had a copy of yesterday’s Stabroek News in his possession at the press conference and he referred to the lead story as he addressed questions on Vaughn.
“From now on if you believe all that this informant is saying you have to also believe that he [Waddell] was a member of the Buxton gang and that he was basically in a criminal enterprise. Waddell was a criminal involved in a criminal enterprise. So I am very interested in this,” Jagdeo said.
The President said that a few hostile media houses had tied his government to Waddell’s death because the slain talk-show host was critical of his administration. But he said the revelations from Vaughn have changed all this, adding that Vaughn plainly stated why Waddell was killed.
Criminal investigation
Asked whether his administration should not now initiate a Commission of Inquiry into the activities of the death squad linked to Khan the President said it is likely that a criminal investigation would be done at some point in time. But he rejected the idea of holding an inquiry.
“You don’t need a Commission of Inquiry to go after criminal acts, the police should do that, not a special commission and they should get to the perpetrators and prosecute them. What you need more is investigation and prosecution… because what was alleged [here] are criminal acts,” he said.
Jagdeo repeatedly stated in his response that his government “does not go on the basis of allegations” while asserting that there is nothing for a commission of inquiry to address.
“Already you have allegations that criminals acts were done by several individuals on our territory. These have to be investigated by the CID… once the police get the information they should proceed on it,” he added.
The President said he has pointed out to the police commissioner that the force has an obligation to investigate any breach of the local laws saying that he urged Police Commissioner Henry Greene to write to the US government.
“I said to him you should seek the help of the US government so he wrote to the US government… He said to me after a while that he has received a letter from the ambassador saying they would have to await the conclusion of the case before they extend that help,” he added.
He said also that at some point in time the security forces would be privy to all the evidence that is being led in the US courts.
`
President Jadgeo had better remember that old adage…’be careful what you wish for’.
Jagdeo might be also acting as Khan’s therapist. Khan speaking might also clear his conscience and help him serve his time more at peace. I hope his lawyer and family will encourage him to speak now, if not soon. A tape recording of confessions/apologies sent to the Guyana police and various families affected during his reign as a criminal should be part of the terms of his plea deal. I can almost assure you that his probation officer is working on that right now.
This Stabroek News article states inter alia: re: ““Let Khan speak whatever he knows because this so-called informant can’t know what I want. I have publicly said that Khan must say who he was fighting on behalf of…,”…
Can anyone explain how the alleged “spy equipment” that this accused and his group were using got into the country without the permission of the Government of Guyana??? Also, when members of this group were detained and their equipment seized by members of a Guyana Defense Force (GDF) patrol on the East Coast of Demerara how and under whose instruction were they freed and the equipment (now in the hands of U. S. Authorities) returned to this this group???
“Jagdeo repeatedly stated in his response that his government “does not go on the basis of allegations” while asserting that there is nothing for a commission of inquiry to address.”
Now if the above lies true what hard evidence do you have to arrest and torture the current MoH Fire suspects and the others current linked to the investigation?
This is pass double standard this is multi-standard, choose methods we see fit when time comes to hell with protocol.
I get it now… But Mr . President be very careful what you wish for, because we wouldn’t accept that you misspoke or you were uninformed… I wonder if we can impeach you if found lying … have to do some more research .
All right let’s see where the cookie crumbles.
Just to add…. This emerging story reminds of Guyanese proverbs; and, two of which go like this – “if yu go crab dance yu go get mud on yu skin”; and, the other is “When yuh buy ah dutty calico yuh gat fuh wear am till it tear. (interpreted to mean – When you make a decision you must be prepared to abide with the consequences….).
Therefore, the public’s opinions are out!
MR.President, you really dont care about criminal killing each other? what a good mentallity to have as a president. You should be a shame of yourself. And another question for you Mr.President, how do you who are criminal and who are not?
Jagdeo is a smart fella, don’t let his subtle looks fool you. Through thick and thin he has keep his cool while other so called leaders tumble noisily like empty barrels… Keep it cool Prezy, you have their arms twisted behind their backs.
And which government official signed for the spy equipment Roger Khan?
Yo “RodRick (Dis is one bias newspaper)”! You may wish to consider this old Guyanese proverb which goes like this: “Moon ah run till daylight ketch am” (interpreted to mean – “You may think that you are getting away with your misdeeds, but one day you will be caught”.
Just remember that “The Arms of the U. S. Justice System are long; and, very long too.
And, “Big Brother Is Watching”!
The president is a straight forward man and he has notting to hide. Khan know what he did and he has nothing to say because he already made his bargain.
“Maybe if at the end of the day, if all the criminals were to deal with each other we may have a better society but I am not going to sanction that. This is not government policy… but I wouldn’t lose any sleep, frankly speaking, about criminals when they kill each other,” Jagdeo said.
He made it very clear that he will not lose any sleep f the criminals were to kill each other . His own words condemn him and he really should resign as President of the Republic of Guyana . This same President is telling the world that guyanese are ill-treated in Barbados , yet he is inviting anarchy in his own country.
Jagdeo should encourage Dr. Ramsammy to go to the USA and clear his name because it is being called in connection with Roger Khan too often . A commission of inquiry will help to clear the name of those members of his government whose names are being associated with RK and the “Phantom Squad” . The people of Guyana and the other Caricom states need to know what took place . I would like Norman Faria to tell the authorities in Barbados whether or not members of the “Phantom Squad” or the “Buxton Gang” are living in Barbados .
Immunity from prosecution can make even the stupid coward reckless.
so what if the US arm is long, crimes committed in guyana, they have no jurisdiction over that.
they looking for the drug dealers, they have one more the witness.
MODERATOR NONE OF MY BLOGS ARE BIAS< RACIST, HAS PROFANITY OR SLANDER ANYONE.
JUST THE FACTS so please dont use the AXE.
Wiggings which leader of any country can stop criminals from killing criminals?Name me on and both Jagdeo and Thompson must resign.
Do not contradict yourself please.
You said the same as did Jagdeo did, should you resign as being a human being?
Re: “so what if the US arm is long, crimes committed in Guyana, they have no jurisdiction over that. they looking for the drug dealers…,”
If the names like Manuel Noreiga, Pablo Escobar, Saddam Houssein and his sons, “Chemical Ali”…. cannot convince you of the “Length of The U. S. Arm Of Justice” then nothing else can.
Anyway, enjoy your “shelter” under “Lady Liberty” while it lasts; and, time alone will tell!
This should have read: “Anyway, enjoy your “shelter” under “Lady Liberty” while it lasts; and, time (which is longer than twine) alone will tell”!
Be careful of what you ask for – you just might get it!!!! It was a terrible comment that you made and quite frankly you should be worried when criminals kill each other. It is under your watch and it says PLENTY about your leadership. Mr. President, you really do NOT care, do you?
Let the criminals kill the criminals. Less work for the police. Besides, it may deter wannabees from choosing that path. It works here in gangland. The LA dept of sanitation just go in afterwards to clean up the carnage.
are are so right nene.jadgeo did not remmber what the america.did in panama.when this conutry wanted you there will get you.mr presdent
NeNe you summed it up he really does not care..how could a president make such a statement.
What a great president Guyana has he advocates citizens killing each other and boldly claims that he does not lose any sleep over it.
Where is his responsibility to all citizens of this country? What about the collateral damage and all the innocent people who were killed while the gang wars are going on?
Good comment, csingh. Two thieves make Jagdeo laugh! Nevertheless Guyanese need to become fed up with terrorist attacks on their assets.
Democracy is in its infancy in Guyana and without strong leadership, it will wither on the vine like in so many other countries.
There will be no BAILOUT for Guyana; other countries would love to dismiss Guyana and Guyanese as OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
NeNe, Criminals are killing criminals in the US and other countries. Do you think Obama is losing sleep over it. What do you want the President to do? Protect the criminals from each other. I don’t get it – why the President? Why not the Commissioner of Police?
Selwyn Vaughn story is very contradictory. He claimed that provided a safe haven for Fineman in Agricola while working for Roger Khan. Why would Roger Khan protect Fineman when at the same time he was eliminating the Buxton murderers?
Very contradictory and you guys are buying it wholesale.
One other thing, Nene. The President has openly challenged RK to speak whatever he knows. Did the PNC ever had the decency to do the same with Gregory Smith regarding the assassination (yes, assassination) of Walter Rodney???
We are also terrified by state sponsored terrorism Satish. You get my drift?
i never read hot air like some of these blog in here,
some are just like an empty barrel.
cak eye this for you.
boy o boy, his brains are disengage
A key informant at the trial of Manhattan lawyer Robert Simels admitted today that he planted the seed in a diabolical plot to harm a witness’s mother.
“It was my idea,” Selwyn Vaughn, 34, said during questioning by defense lawyer Gerald Shargel, who is representing Simels in his obstruction of justice case in Brooklyn federal court.
csingh, you make no sense,,,,you I think sir/madam is a JC,,,a “JUST COME” you need to return to Guyana by way of entry.
DUDE et al ….You guys have no idea what goes on in the UNITED STATES, I think you need to restrict your blogging to FOOD.
In the statement above made by President Jagdeo about Talk-Show Host Mr.Ronald Waddle (From now on if you believe all that this informant is saying you have to also believe that he [Waddell] was a member of the Buxton gang and that he was basically in a criminal enterprise. Waddell was a criminal involved in a criminal enterprise. So I am very interested in this,” Jagdeo said.
Talk-show host was critical of his administration).
What a statement coming from the President about Waddell link to the “Buxton Gang” was this a speculation by President Jagdeo or does he have proof of Waddell involvement in Buxton Gang?
Yet the President did not make any such statement of Roger Khan involvement in drugs and other illegal activities.
The president was not speculating he was repeating what the informant sai, the president did say that both gangs are criminal and killing each other.
The man is saying if u believe what the informant is saying then you will have to believe that Waddel was part of a criminal enterprise. The informant said Waddel was linked to the buxton ganga and the excapees. The president never said that, that’s what the informant is saying so the president don’t need proof the informant has the proof. Roger khan alraedy admitted to his activities so you don’t need anybody to make any statement on him.
Neither did he made reference to Ramsammy!
James whether Waddell was a criminal or not is not the question.
the question is did your poo poo poo aid and abet raja khan to kill citizens of this country? who used him as judge jury and executioner?
These are gross human rights violations that could warrant the international court getting involved.
James,
Luckily its still in print. Some people will read one thing and understand something totally different. ‘They only want to see what they want to see’.
waddel was seen puping gas into a bucket on regent street minutes before Regent street fire. He was also linked to Criminal Gangs
Thanks Coolieman, some of these idiots make comments here and don’t even know what the hell the talking about.
cak eye get in your brains, those crimes were committed in guyana, the US has no jurisdiction there.
they are only interest in the importers/dristributor of the white lady.
wait and see and all you blowing hot air will left with your mouth open to suck it up back.
If the President knew that Roger Khan was part of a criminal enterprize why did his administration entertain him as a partner to fight crime? Why did the administration approve the illgotten gains of Roger Khan to be invested in Guyana without investigating the source of his wealth?
The president’s publicly expressed views on the murders in Guyana explain why police and the phantom squads murder and torture suspects. It also explains the profiling of young black males.
khan took out a full page add in the papers stating that he was fighting crime on behalf of the governmet. y didnt he question khan then? y didnt he ask khan to speak out then?
does he think the US will give greene any information when they publicly stated that greene benefited from drugs.
He asked Khan publicly to state which govt he was fighting for because not for his govt read man read
Which gov” How many gov in guy????
Roger I’m not a fan of yours but we all think you should “open yah mouth and let the story jump out” don’t be a chicken speak!!!!!!
how many governments are there in Guyana? Which government could Khan possibly be talking about? The U.S. Government?
The truth is a bitch coolie man.
Some say that there’s a birdie singing songs in America but it looks we have a nancy story teller as well…
Don’t listen to Raja’s song or Vaughn tales, listen to what Marley said in “Rat Race”
it’s nice to see Jagdeo acknowledging the fact that Khan had a criminal gang fighting the Buxton gang. one now wonder why he never ordered the police to go after Khan phantom gang, like they went after the Buxton gang. isn’t he concerned about the where about of Khan criminal gang?
Jagdeo seems delighted to hear Waddle was a member of the Buxton. even so that’s no excuse for his murder
Jagdeo’s explanation lacks consistency and many bloggers here have been tearing his statements apart with inconsistencies.
The President is easily irritated. That moves him to make outrageous statements. However, that seems to be the norm with all the major players in the administration. For example, ‘Guyanese care more of their overseas barrel than allegations of torture.’ Bigger players than Roger Khan snitched when faced with prison in the Federal system . Marion Illinois or Lewisburg, Pa. can be death sentences. Oh yes ! He will come clean.
RELAX. This was not a thought out ’speech’ he was giving. He was responding on the spot. Get over yourselves.
Jagdeo why are you afraid to constitute an INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT commision of inquiry??
To inquire what, leave the GPF to do their job, criminals are involved here.
Coolieman, PLEASE tell me how on God’s earth can the FOOOLICE (do their job) when they are part of the problem.According to the testimony some of these so-called FOOL-ICE are still on the force.Would you put a fox to watch the hen house???
It is abominable, and if it were not a serious situation it would have certainly being great material for comedy central.But this is not funny- it is literally a matter of life and death and the potential implosion of our beloved country- the land of our birth.
I, personally,have no allegiance to any party in Guyana but only desire to see that beautiful paradise return to its pristine condition for ALL PEOPLE not only for some.This means the eradication of all drugs,drug dealers,nepotism,marginalization,corruption, racism and MARXISM.
After the colon cleansing is done, mandate secruity forces to be retrained in SENSIBLE HUMANE intelligence cathering by the British or Americans.The archaic constitution needs to be shredded and a new democratic one be crafted in its place.
All branches of civil service pay should be increased and the red tape to investment be removed for LEGITIMATE business.Grow the economy and provide well paying jobs for ALL.
The educational system also needs restructing.EVERY POLITICIAN on either side of the aisle should make a public declaration of all their assets before assuming office.
SO you see Coolieman, my friend, unlike you, i certainly do not have an axe to grind like YOU do.Your head is in the proverbial sand,but alas, i understand,it is very difficult for you transform from your Communist ideology of denial and blame.So i, therefore, extend my sympathy to you.
Have a WONDERFUL day!!!!Peace to you.
What a bam bam.
Mackydog,how you do find the time to make comments here when you are baby sitting your new born?
This is interesting folks, the president believes the informant where it pertains to Waddell. Stating, “From now on if you believe all that this informant is saying you have to also believe that he [Waddell] was a member of the Buxton gang and that he was basically in a criminal enterprise. Waddell was a criminal involved in a criminal enterprise. So I am very interested in this,”
Yet he will not believe what the same informant have to say about people in his administration. Mr. President you can’t have it both ways. You either accept all the informant have said under oath, accepting all as being accurate based on his recollection, or none is correct.
The president should loose sleep over all killings in his country, because these killings, no matter who the victims or perpetrators are will caste a very dark shadow over the country. I’ve spent time in Guyana, and loved it. I try encouraging my friends and family to pay a visit, and all they are concerned about is the crime. They are not concerned whether those being killed are criminals or not, they only hear about the crime. So for a president not to care while the image of his country is being destroyed is SAD.
Based on what the president is saying here, one could imagine that his administration took the policy of not getting in the way of Khan while he and his gang were causing destruction.
I don’t know too much about the law in guyana, but that should make him guilty of something.
Excellent analysis.
Totally agree!
I surmise that you are not Guyanese, Lucian and I am therefore curious about your interest in our country. The current news story in question is very complex and has very subtle undercurrents which I am sure the SN Moderator will axe if I start off in that direction…
Neverthelesss, your comment is accurate on a couple of points.
You should try and understand that any government of Guyana which ensures the freedom to vote and ensures democratic freedoms must score a good B grade JUST FOR DOING THAT.
Democracy is precious especially in Guyana where there are people in the wings willing to forment unrest at a moment’s notice. We heard distant rumblings of unrest with the recent bombing.
Only when democracy is secure and enshrined in the minds of all citizens can the country aspire to try and reach for Grade A status.
Just like how you enjoyed Guyana, I am sure your family and friends would have the same experience too. My family’s recent plane trip to Keiteur Falls was a truly beautiful experience.
LO: He is Guilty indeed.. of Crimes Against Humanity, if my analysis of his actions are correct he is encouraging vigilante justice because these so called criminal gangs killing each other are not convicted fellons or wanted criminals they are just perceived enemies of each other outside of that they are citizens of Guyana and weather they are involve in crime or not .. they Law of the land didnt find them guilty so its appalling to hear the president label them criminals with our a rap sheet and worst to say he don’t care if they kill each other .
So mister president what your saying is if i kill my neighbor and say he was a know thief i can go free since he was perceived by me and a few others as a thief even though he might have contributed to his church or family earnestly?
WOW this is really bad.. we are in a really bad stat from top to bottom.
Bad analysis. What are you saying, that because Vaughn is calling Dr. Leslie Ramsammy’s name makes him (Dr. Ramsammy) a criminal or a member of a criminal enterprise as is compared to Waddell? Rubbish. Well, like nobody can’t talk to the Dr. without the Dr. being accused of crime. Dr. Ramsammy is a Minister and is a servant of the public which means that he has the obligation to meet with the public or any member of the public. This doesn’t mean because he met with Vaughn he’s (Ramsammy) a member of a criminal gang (unless Vaughn was a wanted man by the police or a known gangster which he wasn’t at the time of meeting with the Minister). Waddell on the other hand is mentioned by Vaughn as not only meeting with the criminal gangs in Buxton, but aiding and assisting the gangs to get guns supplied by Allison with the help of the GDF and the Police to get the guns to Buxton.
Satish,,,,HOW DARE YOU KNOCK SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR NATIONALITY,,,,HOW DARE YOU STOOP SO LOW. You live and do business in LONDON and then accuse someone else about their nationality. Look I agree 100% with LUCIAN and so do the majority of bloggers, he has demonstrated objective thinking and an introspective view of things as it happens in crooked Guyana. Sometimes we need someone from the outside to show us our faults, (OBJECTIVELY).
Folks, let’s not too excited here. I know some immpressionable and misinformed were real down in the dumps yesterday morning when they didn’t read a dog story or about another rape and murder with panties and thing.. I really felt for them and i do eranestly hope they will see the folly of their ways and come back on the righteous path.And I was happy to know that they starting singing and jumping fuh joy when they see yet another Khan story from SN which trying to outdo KN with sensationlising and padding a story for National Inquirer types.And oh yes, the running of the photo of Wadelll all dressed down in graduate’s robes as he was some saint with brains was a nice touch. (What about photos of the more important innocent poor working people who were massacred ? They ain’t newsworthy enough , Mr. Editor ? After, SN is a “serious” paper that gives “balance” and “fair coverage”, right ?).
But folks, pull yourself together: a man singing in the dock to save his skin doesn’t equal truth and justice..Let’s not get carried away. All this so called testimony will change nothing so why upset your day with more ranting …
A good response Mr. President. You keep up the good work and you and the disciplined forces do what you have to do to continue to defend and build on the ongoing progress and devlopement for all the Guyanese people and God contine to bless Guyana.
Actually he is not singing to save his life, he was given immunity from future prosecution. Which means, what he is disclosing presently cannot be used against him in the future. The only reason the US government gave him that protection, is because they know that he had first-hand knowledge of what went on, and evidence the US have collected corroborate with what he is now saying. The same system was used to put Gotti behind bars, it is a system that is used in the US court system. It is not just his word, there is evidence as well.
It is quite naive of the president, to think that the US government gave this guy immunity, without knowing that what he knew was factual. what the president did in that statement is to state that he only believes the parts of the witnesses statements that are favorable to his administration (Waddell part), for the rest of the evidence he has decided to put his head in the sand.
HeHeHe… ‘a drowning man will grasp at a straw’. HeHeHe…
Reddy you are absolutely rigth on so lets give the sad ones something to cheer them up.Click the link.God bless Guyana.

Welcome Back Reddy-Heddy-in-the-sand.
Missing all day yesterday, Getting instructions from Free-Dumb House on what line to take on this? No doubt it sounded something like this;
Admit Nothing
Deny Everthing
Make Counter-Accusations
Reddy ARE YOU MAD,i don’t think you know what is going on in Guyana and how much the current administration may be involved,and you’re saying that our President was right to make a statement like that? A Leader should be very worried about killings on his watch,criminals or not and what good job are you talking about
Never Ready,what kind of circular reasoning are you engaging in?You accuse SN of presenting Waddle in a certain slant,yet, without missing your usual piffle,you seek to ascribe a certain nature to Waddle.
I your fascination about dog stories tells me that you and the president seem to have a dog in this fight.Yesterday statements by the president stand as a living reminder why we are going nowhere fast.
Thank you Reddy and well said Mr President…
Ehhhhhhhhhh Eh! Reddy teck hole day fu ready up E grip an buddle….If dis is how god BLESS God bless Guyana; A WOODEN wan fu sea wen D devil na gu MIS REDDY.
GAAD BLESS U REDDY BUT D DEVIL NA GU MIS U
Reddy, the President’s response was very poor. He doesn’t lose sleep when criminals kill each other??? What manner of Head of State is he? Does he expect an increase in tourism arrivals in this wild west atmosphere? Meanwhile, Roger Khan’s group was also criminal but rather than going after them, the Government returns the seized electronic equipment. What a mess. Reddy, keep your Government, Commissioner of Police etc. No other Caribbean country would want them.
That’s right SN why didn’t you run a picture of all the innocent people massacred along with the photo of Ronald Waddell in your article yesterday about the informant’s allegations regarding Roger Kahn ordering the killing of Ronald Waddell. You know SN you would do a whole lot better if you run these things past Reddy before you go to press. the man is a freaking genius.
Reddy, the ruthless acts committed by Fineman and his gang were condemned for their brutality. However, if public officials who are sworn to uphold the laws of the land conspire with known criminal elements to break the same laws they swore to uphold, they should face the consequences. You cannot have one set of laws for the general populace and another set for your friends whose actions are criminal and are of a convenience. And all those who are of the opinion that Khan’s group with the alleged assistance of some government officials were justified in their action, should now wake up from their ‘blind faith slumber of support’and seek justice for the innocent who were brutally murdered in the quest to bring Fineman and his gang to justice. The actions of both parties are criminal. Fineman and his gang are dead, the other groups are as guilty as he is but they are alive and well.
Yo “Reddy in Barbados”! Though I was not a big admirer of the late Dr. Walter Rodney (at the time a close associate of my brother), why were there no riots in the streets in Georgetown when he was reportedly killed at the hands of the Guyanese security forces. How would you have wished for the then pro-government news papers to have published pictures!!!
Also, how about making a distinction between what Dr. Walter Rodney was caught up in and that in which the late Ronald Waddell was caught up in when one comes to think about it all.
WHY YOU GUYS CAN’T SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY MY PEOPLE.
Yo “Soldier (Opposition Forces at Work)”!
Did ya really mean to say “Thank you Brazil (substituting for Reddy in Barbados) and well said Mr (Brazilian/Guyana) President… for the Takutu Bridge.
Now ponder this Guyanese proverb: “Nah mind how pumpkin vine run, he must dry up one day.”; and, remember the words of the song that says: “the evil that men do lives long after they are gone…”!
Reddy,
Well said,
Yesterday my comments got axed one after another when I raised questions about PNCR’s alleged involvement with the Buxton gangs. I’m assuming that yesterday’s moderator had his own agenda with the Waddell story.
About Waddell’s picture, dressed in his graduation robe, where did Stabroke find such a Photo? It surprises me that Stabroek News can find such debonair images of people who are on the Opposition side of things; yet, the same image of the Head of State shown above with his mouth open in font of a tape recorder gets published repeatedly.
Portrait Picture of Mr. Corbin and other PNCR leaders with the Golden Arrow Head in the back ground often gets Published on SN; Why can’t this Newspaper do the same for the President of a country.
Are some photos published on SN being used to promote or demote certain people?
Well said, Reddy. I think SN was being a little coy when they put Waddell’s grad pic. They wanted to show the ‘astute’ leadership of the Buxton gang, which was always one step ahead of the GPF. The thing is, wasn’t Waddell associated with a certain political party, which would implicate the party in the gang’s activities. Remember some politicians attending the funeral of some criminals.
Ah red rover you are back? wow this is great you got your foot out of your ahhhhhh ummm mouth eh. Good stuff man good stuff glad to have you back on the opposition newspaper.
Reddy aka Norma Faria , what are you saying ? President Bharrat Jagdeo is the worse Head-of-State among the Caricom members and Guyana is a failed state !! How can Jagdeo be doing good work and improving Guyana and guyanese are fleeing their homeland ? Reddy , when did this improvement and development took place in Guyana under the PPP government ? Guyana is a comfort zone for criminals and Jagdeo is inviting anarchy when he call on the criminals to kill each other . Two gangs killing each other while the inept PPP government stood by and watched them . Reddy , are you saying that Waddell should be dressed like a bum and that would justify him being murdered ? I want to know if any of the members of the two gangs are living in Barbados and if the answer is yes , then the authorities should send them back to Guyana . All you intend to do is to come on Stabroek News and try to condemn the editor and you tried the same thing with Wickham at CBC on Monday when a lady criticised the inept PPP government . Why do you want to run this news paper and the mass media in Barbados ? Why are you so annoyed when people speak the truth about the PPP government ? Reddy , if you want to be treated like a diplomat , then you must function like one and stop being a toady for Jagdeo and his govt .
csingh,,,,What will happen in the EDNY court room will shock you….stay tuned, for that is to only thing that matters.
Wiggins,,,your mouth are full of froth, you and samaroo are of the same type,,Like empty barrels and you know what they do….
1. When Roger Khan revealed to the US diplomats that Major David Clarke was aligned with the Buxton criminal elements, to whom did he report this? Why did the President move to have Clarke returned from overseas training on receipt of word he was aligned to the Buxton gang? Wasn’t the President acting on information received from Roger Khan?
2. Why didn’t the President speak out after Khan and two others were arrested at Good Hope with an eavesdropping device, high-powered weapons and in an armoured car, only to be released and had had their stuff returned to them? This was in the news and the President, who is known for publicly commenting on criminality, said nothing!
3. If Khan, a self-confessed drug baron and an alleged conspirator to mass murder, said he worked with certain government people to fight criminals and save the government, he should know. How can the President not know Khan, but can know all the other stuff happening in Guyana? It may yet surprise the President what Khan revealed to US prosecutors in his plea deal.
Very good point Andy. Do you fellow bloggers know that the equipment, etc they had in their possession when they were arrested at Good Hope was apparently not tendered as evidence in the trial?
Dandy Andy you are way off base on your observation of the jag.What audacity of you.Did you not know that Jagdeo was diagnosed with a RARE illnees.It is a secret but i let you in on it.The affliction is called(SHS) selective hearing and speaking.
Please do not divulge this information to any one else.It is a breach of medical ethics and confidentiality.
Well said D Andy, the President has 2 portfolio’s, he is the President & the information Minister, he has all the information on every thing that goes on in GY, yet whenever certain question pop up on him & his ministers the denied them all. The President is losing his mind piece by piece, y is he attacting RK today, the court proceedings had nothing top do with RK, it was just the informat testifying aganist Mr Simels, who was set up by the same informat with info from RK to eliminate all the witness, Mr Jadgeo u can now release the video that u have on the buxton gang to the public, let the public believe in u for once, Bob Marley say how long shall the kill our profit while we stand aside & look,
Andy….good points, this is the same President that said the earesdropping device that was used the track criminal gangs in GT by Khan and what the US has is not the same……LOL!! he full of joke man!
I cannot wait to see that plea deal when that lands in the public domain.
Dandy Andy,,, You are operating like Christopher Colombus, you just discover,,,,All them questions u asking now was already ansewred and the rest of the bloggers are way past that…You are in the middle of the ocean all by yourself grabbing at straw…
