Dear Editor,
The Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee has carried out his threats of getting the police to question me about the refugee case I won for the IT specialist in Canada.
Two detectives came to my work place yesterday at 2.30 pm with orders from the Commissioner of Police to question me and take a statement from me. I gave them a brief statement reluctantly.
Is this how the police operate in Guyana? How can the Home Affairs Minister direct the police commissioner on how to do his work?
Why is the police commissioner not impartial and upholding his office in a fair manner?
Everyone in the world can now see why my client was afraid to report the threats against him to the police. My client did have a legitimate reason for not reporting Minister Rohee to the police. Now the Minister and his police are intimidating and threatening the counsel for doing his job in Canada.
What the Minister of Home Affairs and the police are doing to me is proving to the world that the police in Guyana are not to be trusted and the Minister of Home Affairs thinks that the law of the jungle operates in Guyana as he can do whatever he wants.
He is now opening the floodgates for refugee claimants from Guyana by proving that the police and the government cannot offer protection to citizens.
This Minister has proved to the world that he can carry out his threats. In any part of the world, this Minister and the Commissioner of Police would have had to resign immediately. But in Guyana no high official has any shame and resignation is not an option for them.
Yours faithfully,
Balwant Persaud
