Home Letters PNC-led Coalition is in for another court battle for missing diamonds
There is another matter headed for the courts; whether or not it would be another out-of-court settlement or court-ordered payout, in any event, millions of dollars are in the making for this miner, Khan, who is making it seem as though this PNC Government is never out of controversy and expensive payouts.
Government seems to be embroiled in one scandal after another, with millions of taxpayers’ dollars being spent to bail it out of shame.
The whereabouts of Mr Khan’s diamonds is another cold case that has been revived by the miner himself, after his diamonds were not returned to him. The seized diamonds were in Police custody ever since they were recovered by the lawmen, after a purported robbery by thieves at Khan’s mining camp.
The recovered items, according to a Police statement, were certified as authentic stones, and were left in the safe hands of the Force, or so it seemed. Now it is years later, and the rightful owner has not received his goods, worth approximately $53 million.
Where are the diamonds? How did the diamonds slip out of the “safe hands” of the Police? These are searching questions for which this administration cannot provide answers. Mr Khan wants his property returned to him, or to be paid the cash value of the property.
Now, rightfully, this matter started during the PPP/C’s time in office, which gave the administration a lead with which to go, so look at the way the Granger administration has responded. Government’s officials would have calculated that McDonald worked as Police Commissioner during that period, so he must be A PPP member, so let’s pin the blame on him.
This commissioner, who is most hated by the PNC, then became the sole subject of Government’s investigation. Well, the maligned McDonald responded promptly and concisely, stating that he knows nothing of the gems; he had never seen, or had any dealings with, the diamonds.
This stunner had the regime reeling, because they thought they had their man after all these years, but in reality they had run into a dead end. You see, theirs is the mistaken belief that Mr Floyd McDonald is a PPP/C member, therefore he is someone to “witch hunt” and to prosecute.
This was just another PNC tactic used to turn people’s attention away from the truth, while shielding their criminal friends. Why didn’t they investigate their retired officer friends in the USA, who most likely are living the “good life” with the criminal proceeds of Khan’s diamonds?
Those retired officers who were integral to the case, and provided so much details into the matter, why weren’t they brought back to face criminal charges? But like I said earlier, this is the way things are done in Guyana; The PNC would rather defend their thieves and con artists to the max, while the innocent taxpayer is funding that criminal enterprise.
In a similar manner, they chose the Lindo Creek Massacre for investigation, hoping again to cover up another criminal act of one of their own, Rondell “Fineman” Rawlins.
That special CoI was meant to uphold a rumour that the Joint Services, under orders from former President Jagdeo, deliberately killed the miners. This smoking gun of an inquiry turned out the total opposite to what they expected, because all evidence points to Fineman and his murderous gang conducting the assault.
It is also public knowledge that Rondell “Fineman” Rawlins was a hired assassin with sly and slippery political giants as his mentors. The PNC are desperately trying to erase that image from people’s minds.
To lay claim to my theory, who gave Fineman all pertinent information about the whereabouts of the Joint Services’ forces? Who provided him with camouflage military clothing, arms and ammunition? Who did?! These are known facts that cannot be disputed, but instead of doing a thorough investigation into those areas, they are wracking their nerves seeking every secret cover-up they can find.
The same could be said of the death of Courtney Crum-Ewing. Who are the persons responsible for that ghastly act? Could the PNC, who openly accused Mr Nandlall of plotting his demise, provide the evidence to support that claim? Why can’t they furnish us with the information as to who did it? The majority of us know the answers to those questions, but we are waiting on those, the accusers, to come forward with their evidence.
Finally, The PNC-led Coalition are desperately trying to create a clean, decent political party image to the public, one that people can trust and put their faith in. However, with these daily revelations of dark, ghoulish and horrific acts, that “good name” of the party is being called into question. Nothing pertaining to a good image is surfacing.
