Belated accusation against President reeks of desperation

Dear Editor,
It is most reprehensible that the public is only now hearing from Mr Paul Slowe in regard to his present situation, wherein he is immersed in a legal quagmire and in trying to do some damage control by accusing President Irfaan Ali of trying to influence him, and by extension the Police Service Commission, many moons ago.
Slowe’s reaction stinks.
The sketchy and very vague explanation in the form of an allegation is “…that the President attempted to influence him in a conversation last year…”
Now, why this man kept that hidden all the time contradicts common sense and legal recourse. In fact, I think the impetus for his ‘anti-Ali fabrication’ is that “(he) Mr Slowe has been slapped with a ten-million-dollar ($10,000,000) fraud charge, along with a charge for sexual assault.”
This top lawman, who was tasked with enforcing the law, will now have to defend “…receiving millions of dollars from the Guyana Police Force while being the Chairman of the said Constitutional Commission, wielding disciplinary powers over the very Force.” The old adage rings true again: “Never put a cat to watch milk.”
So, it is quite vile for this Paul Slowe to seek to smear the President in his effort to come over as some character of moral rectitude.

Sincerely,
Baldeo Mathura
