 Child sex felon Dr Vishwamintra Persaud has been summoned to appear before the Medical Council of Guyana after failing to respond in writing to the body. Chairman of the council Dr Sheik Amir confirmed yesterday that Dr Persaud had not responded within the seven-day period required and as a result the council has called on him to attend a meeting scheduled for next Monday. The council wrote to the doctor last week Monday asking him to explain what it considered “new information” with respect to his application for a licence. But when the period expired on Monday last there was no correspondence from the doctor.

The two police officers who were involved in the incident, where taxi driver Colin Williams also known as “Robin”, alleged that he was “beaten” at the Stabroek Market area, are refuting this claim.The officers who have been identified as Lance Corporal Orlanzo Webster and Constable Ivan Roopnarine, sent statements to this newspaper, explaining what transpired at the scene.According to Robin’s claim, he was parked not too far from the back gate of the market, closer to the stelling, when the two “black clothes policemen” approached him and told him “ yuh park wrong here”.Robin was puzzled and asked the officers, ‘I park wrong?” and then he pulled out his cellular phone from his pocket to make a call.It was then that the alleged assault from the police officers began.

- Situation warrants increase in training  “The ratio of nurse to patients in the local public health system is low, even by third world standards,” said Permanent Secretary within the Health Ministry, Mr Hydar Ally. For this reason, he said that the Ministry saw it fit to train close to 1,000 nurses this year. This figure marked the largest single training in the history of nursing locally. “It is not because we want to mass produce and pass nurses through a conveyor belt to make the numbers look good. But we recognise as a Ministry that there is a shortage of nurses in the profession; the ratio of nurses to patients is low, even by third world standards , therefore we felt that we have to deal with it.”

When dem servant begin to talk anyhow to de boss is a sign that de whole world gone topsy-turvy. People does call that eyepass. Irfaat Alley is one servant who eye-pass people. Imagine he talk anyhow to a reporter and then he gun announce to de reporter when he feel like talking to de reporter he gun talk to him. Dem boys want to know if de reporter is he child. And he got de nerve to talk about “Y’all stupidness.” Dem boys seh that this is de limit and from now, dem would ignore Irfaat. In any case, he never had enough sense to recognize that as a public figure he had to behave in a certain way. But he is what dem boys call a low life suh he don’t know better. He is one of de people who wouldn’t talk like that to a contractor. He can talk like that to a reporter because he can’t get nutten from a reporter. A contractor is a different story. They drop things to he and that is how he can afford to live big. He is not de only one. Bharrat do de same thing to Christopher Ram when he had de meeting on de Clico money. Up to now Ram can’t get he money. Dem boys seh that Irfaat copy from Bharrat and that is why he actually tell some of dem boys that he is a presidential candidate. He want permission to talk to people anyhow. But dem boys seh that wid that attitude is only wood ants and kaka roach can tolerate he. That is why Bharrat put he in de housing sector. Dem two things nuff deh. And Irfaat start fuh look like dem.
Talk half. Lef half.

By Freddie Kissoon  Once I had an exchange with Stella Ramsaroop on moral values. The subject turned on the question as to whether the AFC trio – Trotman, Ramjattan and Holder – should resign from Parliament because they had left their respective parties through which they were elected to Parliament. In that essay, I contextualized moral rights and moral wrongs. Moral values must have context else they lose their meaning. Social values are all- encompassing. It is unwholesome to see moral values as situational and essentially relative. Times like these, I hate living in Guyana because the society derecognizes context and treat moral values in a disjointed way. Two issues are dominating the dinner table across the country – the horrible murder of QC student Neesa Gopaul and Dr. Vim Persaud, a medical doctor working in the public sector who is a convicted child molester. This is the time for the convenient moralists to come forward.
