Gya: Khemraj Ramjattan bounced over death squad inquiry

Read the story of how one of Guyana's bright political lights has been dimmed for daring to suggest an investigation into death squads and Minister of Home Affairs Ronald Gajraj. Who is in charge in Guyana?

The ball to get rid of Mr Ramjattan was set in motion on January 29th, 2004, the day when as President of the Guyana Bar Association, he called for a full enquiry into the accusations by George Bacchus, a former death squad informant, linking Home Affairs Minister, Ronald Gajraj to the gang's operation. The nail in his coffin was his column in the Stabroek News the next day when he called for investigations into Mr Gajraj as well as into the non-issue of a US visa to Foreign Trade Minister Clement Rohee and criticised the President, without naming him, for his outburst against the media at Annandale.

Does Guyana have rule of law or rule by man? If Ramjattan isn't careful, he might be Walter Rodneyed.
