The People’s National Congress Reform is calling for a comprehensive, independent, judicial inquiry into all aspects of narcotics-trafficking in Guyana. This call was made by the Party’s Presidential Candidate David Granger.The Presidential hopeful stated that the discovery in Jamaica of 122.65 kg of cocaine in a container of timber from Guyana on the MV Vega Azurit on March 12, last, was only the most recent in a series of discoveries of shipments of illegal narcotics from this country over the past decade.He added that the Party feels that without an independent investigation, the criminal cartel behind this crime will remain undetected and unpunished and Guyana will drift further towards becoming a narco-state.“It is evident that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Administration is unable and unwilling to counter narcotics-trafficking despite the harm being done to our people”.This call for an investigation incensed the Home Affairs Ministry. Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee said that PNCR presidential candidate, David Granger, should call for investigations into crimes that were committed during his party’s tenure in office and by criminals Rohee linked to the leading opposition party.“Since, like Shaggy he (Granger) said “it wasn’t me” Mr. Granger should push for a Judicial Inquiry into the shooting to death in 1973? of Jagan Ramsessar and Bholanath Parmanand; the two Ballot Box Martyrs;“Further, Mr. Granger should press for a Judicial Inquiry into the subversion of the Constitution of Guyana under the PNC when the State and Party became indistinguishable and the paramountcy of the Party prevailed.“Moreover, Mr. Granger should call for a Judicial Inquiry into the assassination of Walter Rodney in 1979. Mr. Granger should insist on a Judicial Inquiry into the theft of guns and ammunition from the Guyana Defence Force.”Referring to the United States Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs’ International Narcotics Control Strategy Report which was released recently, Granger said it was reiterated that “Guyana is a trans-shipment point for cocaine from Colombia and Venezuela destined for North America, Europe, and the Caribbean.“Also in that report it was pointed out that, owing to weak law-enforcement on the country’s land and maritime border and vast hinterland, narco-traffickers were able to conduct operations without significant interference from law-enforcement agencies.“Over the past decade, the Guyana Police Force Narcotics Branch and the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) which has the most institutional knowledge and experience have not been given adequate governmental financial, material and personnel support to conduct effective counter-narcotics operations.The Home Affairs Minister said that Mr. Granger “who likes to project himself as ‘Mr. Clean’,Cheap Jerseys, should call for a Judicial Inquiry into the PNC? connections with the Rondell Rawlins “Fine man” gang that killed men, women and babies at Lusignan and Guyanese citizens at Bartica and Lindo Creek.Mr. Granger “appears to be sailing” and oblivious to the fact that the Government of Guyana, in its efforts to ensure that Law Enforcement Officers involved in fighting the drug trade are accountable,NFL Jerseys China, have polygraphed all CANU and Police Narcotics Branch operatives within one and half years, an accomplishment many countries in the region are yet to achieve, he said.“Mr. Granger must be aware that both President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton have publicly admitted that they do not do enough to help countries fight the drug trade and that they have to do more.”“Whatever is provided in support of counter narcotics interventions in Guyana, is provided from Government’s budget, but Mr. Granger has opted to be an apologist for the US Administration by simply and conveniently quoting a section from the US State Department Report that refers to trans-shipment of drugs to the US and other locations.”Granger noted that when the PPP/C entered office over 18 years ago, it inherited from the outgoing PNC Administration a plan called Guyana’s Strategy for Dealing with the Drug Problem and a working ‘National Drug Law Enforcement Committee’ which was personally chaired by President Desmond Hoyte.The PNCR presidential candidate however noted that the current administration abandoned both the Strategy and the Committee.“It then introduced its own National Drug Strategy Master Plan, 1997-2000 but never implemented it fully”.Hence the result, Granger said, was that during Ronald Gajraj’s tenure of office as Minister of Home Affairs,NFL Jerseys China, there was a surge in cocaine trafficking and narco-terrorism during which CANU’s Deputy Head and another agent were executed.“The Administration then introduced a third plan,<a href="http://ww
