Days after the Opposition Leader, through his social media outlet “Team Mohamed”, published a post under the caption “Barrels of drugs found at PPP Councillor’s house, No Accountability: The PPP Protects Criminals!” the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Shalimar Ali-Hack, strongly condemned the deliberate dissemination of false, misleading and damaging information.
The post stated, “Barrels of cannabis found in Clonbrook, yet no names or faces published because the PPP protects criminals.”
According to the DPP, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) conducted investigations related to the discovery of a quantity of cannabis on November 29, 2025, at Section C Clonbrook, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Following the discovery, Ronita Stuart Ram, Ranjeev Ram, Savitri Ram, and Maikhram Ram were arrested. After investigations were completed, the DPP stated that based on the evidence contained in the Police file, she advised the Police to institute charges against Ronita Stuart Ram, Maikhram Ram, Ranjeev Ram, and Savitri Ram for the offence of Possession of Narcotics for the Purpose of Trafficking.
They were charged and appeared before Magistrate Orinthia Schmidt at the Cove & John Magistrates’ Court on March 4, 2026, where they pleaded not guilty. As such, they were granted bail in the sum of $1 million each. They were due back in court on March 31, 2026.
The DPP wishes to state that all legal advice given by the DPP’s Office is based on the evidence contained in Police files from Police investigations, the relevant law thereto, and the Code for Prosecutors.
