Oil and elections: should I be scared?
For the sake of still-friendly argument, I’ll believe Home Affairs and National Police Security Minister, Honourable Robeson Benn – named by his late father after the alleged communistic Afro-American singer Paul Robeson – that the enhanced city anti-crime plan was conceptualised since November last.
That the police force’s hierarchy’s visits to Stabroek Square last week had nothing to do with the American Embassy’s current advisory to its staff and American citizens generally.
(One of possibly hundreds of cynics told me that all of our President’s adumbrations and exhortations at all police conferences could not motivate instant action as the American advisory did.) (“Yuh tink Exxon oil people does stroll ‘roun Stabroek Fenty?). I do not agree with my cynic-friends!)
