Attorney General Anil Nandlall ought to know that any knowledge of an imminent crime should be reported, according to former police commissioner Winston Felix, who says that if the recording of a conversation between the minister and a reporter had not been released anything could have happened.
At a press conference yesterday, Felix, now a main opposition APNU MP, fielded questions on the recording of a conversation between Nandlall and Kaieteur News reporter Leonard Gildarie, in which he advises the reporter to leave the newspaper, while suggesting that innocents would inevitably be harmed in any reprisal by persons “attacked” in its coverage. He can also be heard speaking about criminal activity and his use of public funds for personal activity.
According to Felix, given the AG’s training and experience, he “ought to know that if a crime or a potential crime comes to your attention, that you need to report it to the proper authorities so that they can take action.” He said that from listening to the recording, one cannot escape coming to the conclusion that “the head of the Bar in Guyana knew of an imminent crime. Thank God for how things played out or else I do not know what would have happened in Saffon Street.”
The circulation of the recording has prompted calls from the Guyana Bar Association and the Guyana Association of Women
