Dear Editor,
My advice to business people and anyone transporting large sums of cash is to contract a proper security service, which is equipped with the personnel, the vehicles, insurance and expertise. All it would have cost Mr Gajadhar is about $10-$15,000.00 for the safe and reliable transportation of his money, from Foulis, ECD, and the cash would have been insured.
Any sums of money being taken to or from a bank or anywhere valued over $50,000 should be transported by an armoured taxi at least, which could cost just $1500 -$2000 for a short drop (with optional insurance), and larger sums with a full armoured truck. People have to be cautious, and realize that bandits are lurking at banking institutions and on the streets, and even one’s employees could help to set them up. Of course, even the banks’ employees have been known to do such things. For a few thousand dollars hundreds of thousands and millions could be saved, and most of all the most valuable possession to anyone ‒ one’s life!
My heart and that of my management and staff, and my family go out to the family of Mr DaSilva; I really am sorry for him and his family. The people of Guyana need to be aware and take care of themselves and their assets. Do not be pennywise and millions and life foolish.
Yours faithfully,
Roshan Khan
