The Commissioner of Police is mandated to seek answers to any issue that relates to criminal activities in Guyana, President Bharrat Jagdeo said yesterday with regards to the possible investigations into the alleged criminal activities of confessed drug trafficker Shaheed ‘Roger’ Khan.“The Commissioner has to solve murders here.That’s his job. If he reads the papers and sees that anyone has information on an unsolved murder he has an obligation to seek further information because that’s part of his job.It can’t be just Jagdeo. I think that he should be dealing with these issues,” the President stressed.The President said that many of the questions surrounding investigating the operations of Roger Khan in Guyana, while he is not opposed to be answering them, should be directed to the Commissioner of Police.“Do you think that the President of the United States of America or any other country would be looking into these things? They don’t look into these, absolutely. It’s the job of the heads of the police forces,NFL Jerseys Cheap,” the President stated.Since the Roger Khan hearings commenced in the United States of America almost three years ago, there have been calls for investigations to be launched locally,cheap nfl jerseys, since it was revealed that transcripts of witnesses’ statements pointed to Khan’s involvement in at least two execution style killings.According to US court documents, Khan was named as the person who ordered the murder of Dave Persaud, while he was also fingered in the slaying of boxing coach Donald Allison.The documents also alleged that Khan was the head of a criminal enterprise.Khan,Custom Orlando Magic Jersey, by his own admission, said he had provided assistance to the Guyana Government to hunt down criminals, following the 2002 jailbreak.Several persons with criminal backgrounds turned up dead or disappeared,Andrew Shaw Jersey, allegedly at the hands of a ‘Phantom Squad’ that Khan headed.But local investigators have shied away from pursuing the issue, claiming that they will have to be provided with information by their United States counterparts.Police Commissioner Henry Greene, when contacted yesterday,Cheap Jerseys Online, assured that the force will be writing to its counterparts in the US for information as they have done in the past.“We will be approaching the US with a request. We will be writing them with respect to the murders of Donald Allison and Dave Persaud,” the Commissioner told this newspaper.President Jagdeo said that he is hoping that the previous reluctance by the United States to provide information on criminal matters to the local law enforcement agencies will change.“We can have a better relationship with the US where it’s not one of junior and senior partners. If we are in this together to fight crime, then we should collaborate in all the areas of crime fighting: drug trafficking, gun running, money laundering. All of these things could be equally treated so that we could genuinely collaborate,” the Guyanese leader told the media.He explained that should the United States of America request information or require locals to travel there to testify in criminal matters, Guyana will consent.However, this arrangement must be reciprocal.“I think maybe with the new (US) Ambassador we may be able to work out that sort of framework, where you could have more equity in our relationship.This is vital if we’re going to really tackle drug trafficking seriously,Cheap NFL Jerseys Online,” the President said. |
