This man, President Jagdeo, threatens indirectly our people’s
safety, their culture and religion.
. He does not have a clue of how to deal with the state of
lawlessness in Guyana; he gives in, it seems, to every demand
made of him by the opposition PNC Leader; he devalues democracy
- all of this in his rush to please the Opposition Party.
I and many
other Guyanese feel Jagdeo should be called upon to resign...yes
resign and have another member of the Cabinet take over the
Presidency.

lost G$200,000, US$600 and
Cdn $400.
Surgim,70,
the older of the two pensioners, said he was in the yard, about
8 p.m., locking up the enclosure where he stacks cooking gas for
sale at his small business place, when the quartet emerged from
the back and started beating him about the body.

The
67-year-old woman, still visibly traumatised
yesterday, said the robbers immediately pulled off her wedding
ring from her finger and tied her up.
Sugrim
and Rajmat Soodin in their ransacked home yesterday.
They
put her to lie face down on the kitchen floor, insisting that
she hand over money and gold jewellery while torturing her.
She
recalled that one bandit, who was with her husband downstairs
their one storey, joined the rest inside the house and assaulted
him.
He,
too, was bound with pieces of curtain material and put to lie
beside her while the men ransacked their home, the wife said.
She
said one bandit lifted her bodily and took into their bedroom
where he forced her to hand over the cash she had been saving to
renovate the building in which they live.
Sugrim
suffered injuries to his eyes, face, head and ribs and Rajmat
had lacerations on her neck and hands.
She
told the Chronicle she pleaded with the bandits who wore masks
and carried handguns to leave them alone but they continued
their assault as her husband tried desperately to fight them
off.
The
Soodins’ next door neighbour, suspecting that something was
amiss after telephone calls to them were repeatedly terminated,
contacted Police, at Grove station a short distance away, but
the bandits had fled by the time the cops arrived.
The
victims said it was the second robbery they endured, after all
their gold jewels were stolen in the previous one
