Laws and systems being manipulated, abused

and Minister Benn, must takeimmediateanddecisive action to address this injustice.

Itisnotenoughtosimply call for peace without simultaneously demanding justiceforthevictims.

The failure to hold perpetrators accountable sends a dangerous message totheentirenationthatsuch crimescangounpunished.

Thisnotonlyperpetuates a culture of fear but also undermines the faith of the citizensinthejusticesystem.

Restoring Faith in the JusticeSystem:

To restore public trust in the justice system, Minister Bennmustworkdiligentlyto ensure that all cases of injustice are thoroughly investigated and the culprits broughttojustice.

This includes providing appropriate support to survivors, implementing necessaryreformswithinthe Guyana Police Force, and ensuring that swift and fair trialsareconducted.

Furthermore, efforts should be made to raise awareness and educate the public on the importance of justice to foster a collective commitmenttowardsasafer society

The Link Between JusticeandPeace: Peace cannot flourish in the absence of justice. It is the duty of the government to create an environment where justice is not only soughtbutalsodelivered.

When individuals feel secure in their rights and confidentthattheruleoflaw will prevail, they are more likely to contribute positively to society. Conversely, when injustices are allowed to persist, it breeds resentment, tension, and further acts of violence.

Minister Benn must recognize this crucial link and take immediate steps to address the prevailing injustices.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Minister Robeson Benn’s call for peace is undoubtedly important.

However, it is essential to emphasize that peace and justice are intrinsically connected. The recent case of the Indigenous schoolgirl serves as a poignant reminderthatjusticemustbe at the forefront of our collectiveefforts.

It is only through the pursuitofjusticethatwecan hope to achieve true peace andcreateasocietywhereall citizens feel safe and protected.

Minister Benn must act swiftly to address the prevailing injustices and restore the faith of the Guyanese people in the justicesystem.

DEAREDITOR, Is Guyana a real place? TheConstitution,structures, systems, checks, and balances have all been abused under the Ali Regime.

Editor, you may recall that the Coalition Government was careful to respecttheruleoflawandwe allowed systems to work w i t h o u t p o l i t i c a l interference.Thisnewlowin our nation has impacted all of Guyana negatively as can be seen from the issues raisedbelow

1.THEGUYANA POLICEFORCE ANDTHEDPP Justiceisyettobeserved regarding the recent allegationslevelledagainsta former sitting Minister, now resigned, Mr Nigel Dharamlall The system failed a 16-year-old Indigenous, vulnerable femalestudent,whosuffered excruciating physical and psychologicalpainallegedly at the hands of Mr D h a r a m l a l l M r Dharamlall’s accuser was madetofeellikeacriminalin thismatterwhich“hastaken a toll on Dharamlall and his family” She was denied access to an attorney and no serious consideration was given to the healing of the deep trauma she is experiencing.

God and history will judge every state and other official for this grave injustice.

Editor, the system was viciously manipulated against colleagues of mine, who served as Ministers in the Coalition Government, Mr Paul Slowe, Tacuma Ogunseyeetal.

Some of whom were arrested and charged even before the files were completedbytheDPP.Italso nowappearsthatthe“system was not allowed to work” to bring the murderers of the Henry boys to justice Ironically,Mr NigelHughes did not get the co-operation from the Guyana Police Force to facilitate the investigation of the murders of the Henry boys by international specialists Editor,aretheGuyanaPolice Force and the DPP’s office guiltyofpervertingjustice?

Meanwhile, I publicly applaudeveryright-thinking personwhostoodindefense ofthisstudent.

We must continue to stand, until justice is served. Everysinglecitizenisatrisk of having their basic rights abused because the rule of law is no longer in effect in our beleaguered Republic. NO ONE IS EXEMPTED. MayGodhelpourNation.

2.COSTOFLIVING

The PPP/C regime during its 2020 Elections campaign, promised Guyanese improved living conditions.

At the time of me penning this letter (July 12,

2023) prices are as follows: one tray of eggs $1,700.00$2,000 00; plantains $260.00 per pound; cabbage $380.00 per pound; bora (3 parcels) $300.00; tomatoes $600.00perpound.

Editor,inFebruary2022, amotiontoaddresstheCost of Living was tabled by me on behalf of the Opposition. The uncaring Ali Regime ensured the motion was never debated, despite it being approved by the Speaker with amendments and placed on the order paper

Editor,itisnecessaryfor metoremindreadersthatDr Ashni Singh’s request for $500M to assist in addressing, “cost of living measures.” was approved in Budget2023.

To date, as a Member of P a r l i a m e n t w i t h Constituents, I am oblivious as to how this sum is being disbursed and which communities or regions are benefiting I have since tabled several questions in the National Assembly regardingthisallocation.

Editor, the Ali Regime continues to ignore the cries of the people and have abused the systems put in placetoprotectus.

They have FAILED the people of this nation so the entire government must follow Dharamlall and stepdown!

Yourstruly, AnnetteFerguson,MP

DEAREDITOR, I have so far avoided public comment on the unfolding travesty of justice and the appearance of low morals in our society as it relates to allegations of rape andsodomy againstFormer MinisterNigelDharamlall.

I e x p e c t t h a t notwithstanding the DPP, that in keeping with this much talked about transparency and One Guyana,PresidentAlihaslet medownbystatingthatheas Presidentcontinuestoregard Dharamlall as worthy of his support and that of the PPP Amazing but true and it is t h i s P r e s i d e n t i a l pronouncement letting the cat out of the bag that is of greatconcern.

PresidentAli has said to us cheat, rape sodomy or indecency and acts of impropriety are irrelevant. Hemayjustaswellhavesaid “well done thou good and faithfulservant.”

AsfarasIamconcerned, coupled with his dildo remark in Parliament, Dharamlallinanysystemor society driven by morality ought to have been shunned bythePresidentandthePPP

IntheUK,aprominentBBC presenter is in hot water for allegations related to photographsoverafour-year period beginning with a young person at seventeen.

IntheUS,aGymnastDoctor was sentenced to one hundredyearsinprisonover sexual offences against youngpeople.

In Guyana, the President andthepoliceshouldbynow beabletoascertainwhopaid the travel expenses to bring the female child to Georgetown and was she at anytimeaguestatthehome of the Minister and third whatwerethecircumstances thatleadtotherevocationof his firearm licence? Mr.

President, you don’t require either Sherlock Holmes or Scotland Yard to provide answers to the simple questionsabove.

This Statement that Dharamlall will not face charges is an absurdity In Guyana and elsewhere, persons have been hauled before the Court based on Statements and allegations made, it is then up to the Presiding Magistrate or Judge to determine whether without the aggrieved person’stestimony inCourt, whether there is insufficient evidence to convict the alleged miscreant. Here we see the whole concept of justicebeingbrutalized. If the President was serious, that would have been a good start to determine possible culpabilityandthecharacter of the Hon. Gentleman but what we see unveiling in Guyana is a disdain and disrespect by the incumbent administration for the other people.Today,welearntthat theMinistryofLegalAffairs is seeking a Consultant to assesstheprogressionofthe C r i m i n a l J u s t i c e Programme, with the aim of monitoring and evaluating itssuccess.

DearEditorandCitizens, this is a shameless waste of taxpayers’ money It is like building a house without a proper foundation. Waste of timeandmoney We’reshort of Judges, Magistrates and the inability to appoint a Chancellor and Chief Justice, so who are we foolingorisitasIwillsetout below, the administration regardless has a bunch of morallydepravedcreatures.

There are other matters which suggest that the PPP Government has lost its moral rudder, has lost its sense of justice, has lost its senseofdecency,haslostits senseofdecorum,haslostits respect for an important branchofgovernancethatis the Judiciary, has lost its respect for the fourth estate, thatisthefreepress.,haslost its respect for girls and youngwomeninneedofour protectionandaffection.

Haslostitsrespectforthe sacrificeandsufferingofour noble ancestors who came here thousand of years ago, who were brought here and enslavedandwhocamehere asimmigrantstotillthesoil.

In the Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Volumes 5 and 6) Moral Sense defines “In the first half of the eighteenth-century certain Britain philosophers argued that the moral sense is the faculty by which we distinguish between moral rightandmoralwrong.

The deliverances of this faculty are feelings or sentiments hence, it is counted as a sense. Our observationofaninstanceof virtuous action is the occasion for a feeling of sentiments, hence it is counted as a sense. Our observationofaninstanceof virtuous action is the occasion for a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction, which enables us to distinguish that action as virtuous.”

Dear Editor, my Mentor would say it is pellucidly clear that the President and thePPPhavelostthisfaculty to distinguish between what is right and wrong and between what is good and bad. The President and his merry-money men, mirth and vicarious pleasure have lostorperhapsneverhadthis senseofmorality,justiceand plaindecency

It is therefore up to this generation to use whatever legal, constitutional or historicalmeansavailableto inject this moral sense into the bloodstream of those who now govern our country We must act and remember the old people saying ‘ Nah tek fiyah stick ah night for look fuh whah youcanceeahday.’

Too much is at stake to afford silence and a detachment from the devastation taking place in oursociety

Alldecentcitizenscanbe consoled that throughout human history people have expressed in several ways their abhorrence to greed, injusticeandimmorality We can be consoled. Human history is punctuated with expressions of this abhorrence.

Sincerely,

HamiltonGreen
