Ram, you don't have to explain nothing to Rob Graham or any PNC 'diehard' supporters.  They all are aware of what the PNC regime did to Guyana and it's people primarily the East Indians.

Rob, I know personally of LFSB's actions because my father was the official of the company who was forced to sign over the property at Bellfield on behalf of the Kissondyal brothers who not only owned the Bellfield estates, they owned land in Mahaicony Creek and they also owned Woodlands Hospital. For your information, they were faced with a file that indicated they owed the Guyana Treasury $1.5 million dollars in for 1969-1970.

At the outset they had agreed to sell just the piece of land alongside the road. When the time came for them to receive their payment, they were invited to the Bellfield residence and shown this file. The family had paid their taxes but suddenly they were faced with imprisonment without trial or forfeit the payment in addition to the rest of the Bellfield Estate.

Rob, if you think I am accusing you personally then I respectfully apologize but the point I am trying to make is that worst crimes were committed and no one jumped up and commented. And in the article the President was accused of not taking action yet he stopped a proposed trip and the man has lost his job. By the way Rob, in the Industrial world where democracy is allowed to function at its peak, accusations are made against many government officials who upon investigation are cleared of any wrong doing but they do resign their positions of authority in order to allow for a proper investigation and not to hamper the work of the governing administration. No time is their resignation a reflection of guilt.

That my friend is my personal knowledge because I was standing there when it transpired.

Have a great day.

Mr. Graham, a rather interesting article however the insinuations should be backed up with proof. But in typical PNC form, you promulgate and instigate then run and hide. It is interesting that you claim this man to be the largest land owner - where were you and your co-horts when LFSB and Viola were stealing the properties of hard working Guyanese. This man at least he paid for the land - I would hope so - but LFSB actually provided trumped up documents claiming outstanding taxes, etc., and force the hand-over of land - Bellfield Estate is one, Letter "T" state is another.

Mr. Odit may not be a Saint and he should be dealt with legally if he has done wrong. Of course the officials should investigate his actions but please don't make statements (or support them) without providing the documents to back up those statements. The insinuation is that the President does no! thing yet later in the statement one discovers that he gets credit for canceling transactions based in India!!!

 
Trinidadians like all others who want to invest in Guyana should be welcome. Your associates ensured that the other investors leave Guyana by Nationalizing everything, bankrupting them and when democracy came to the fore there was the launch of "march and burn" actions.

By the way, some of your associates already imported the Trini exercise - kidnap for ransom; so what is the problem if some legitimate business investors desire to invest in Guyana!!!!!
