In this dreamland of Guyana where rivers flow and the lands are rich, we have not only cultivated promises and possibilities of a great country, but a society where most people are docile and insane enough to sit and watch the death of a nation. Not one destroyed by some apocalyptic event, but where the moral compass of what we should expect by the rule of law and governance, is shattered.
Once again, the Guyana Police Force is in the spotlight for allegations of corruption. Incompetence is a thread in constant motion here. In another display of the absurd, questionable and foolishness, the senior members of the force held a press conference this week with the intention of discrediting Police Sergeant Dion Bascom, who has alleged that there was a cover-up in the murder of Ricardo Fagundes who was known as ‘Paper Shorts’. Fagundes was executed outside Palm Court on March 21st, 2021. Seventeen months later this crime has not been solved, adding to the long list of unsolved murders in Guyana.
