President hails `Sash’ Sawh but silent on call for inquiry into killing

Sash Sawh

On the 15th anniversary of the gruesome murder, President Irfaan Ali hailed the service of the late PPP/C Agriculture Minister, Satyadeow `Sash’ Sawh but he was silent on the call for a comprehensive inquiry which the family called for in a letter in yesterday’s Stabroek News.

Sawh’s unsolved murder in 2006 at the height of an unprecedented crime wave where deaths squads were at work has raised searing questions about the PPP/C’s commitment to really learn what had happened.

In his statement yesterday, the President lauded Sawh’s “sterling record of political and public service”.
