The PPP appears to be surrendering Guyana to the criminal elements. They are either unable or unwilling to deal with these criminals, they are a sad example of a weak government. Why are there no special forces created to deal with the Buxton question? What is the PPP waiting on? Do they not understand the responsibility of governance? These are the questions that demand an answer from the people who elected this government.

Bandits
strike Foulis family: cart off over $400,000 in
cash and jewellery The
robbery was committed on the Ramsarran family of Lot 103 Foulis (ECD) around
19:15 hrs. Ms
Bibi Sabrah Ramsarran, the mother, said that she was about to enter the
outside bathroom when the telephone rang. As she moved to answer the phone,
someone grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth with his hand. The man
then warned her not to scream. He
then tied her mouth with the end of a curtain panel to prevent her from
raising an alarm. The
taller of the two bandits, who was without a mask, then demanded cash, while
the other intruder proceeded to ransack the two-bedroom house. She
said the men then demanded jewellery and threatened to hold her 16-year-old
daughter hostage if their demands were not met. The
still traumatised Ramsarran, recounted that one point of the ordeal, when
they had untied the gag from her face, she began telling the men (whom she
said were of African descent) about Jesus. She said she implored them to
take anything they wanted but not to harm her daughter because her daughter
is the most important person to her. The
householder explained that the local currency would have been used to
complete works to the lower flat of her home, while the US dollars were for
her daughter’s ‘Penny Bank’. Ms
Ramsarran was unable to say in which direction the men had made good their
escape since they had instructed her to close the door behind them. The
family contacted the Enmore Police Station, and ranks responded promptly to
the call. The Policemen took statements and dusted the house for
fingerprints. When
Chronicle visited the home yesterday, relatives were offering comforting
words to the family, who are hoping to recover from the incident. They said
that in their four and a half years of living in the area, this incident was
the first. Ms
Ramsarran and her husband are baffled as to the motive for the robbery since
they do not operate a business. November 10, 2003
