Georgetown : A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) expresses its concern over yet another execution, this time of gun-running suspect – Ricardo Ignatius Rodrigues.
The party statement says “Mr. Rodrigues has been a ‘person of interest’ to law-enforcement agencies for most of the past decade. He has been mentioned in connection with criminal activities, most recently, the discovery of a large arms cache in the Rupununi.
At the time of his execution, Rodrigues surprisingly, had been placed on station bail. A Partnership for National Unity would like to see due process in order to learn more about the crimes of gun-running and narco trafficking. APNU feels that extra-judicial executions should not be allowed to replace legitimate law-enforcement measures if criminal cartels are to be discovered, dismantled and destroyed.”
Brigadier David Granger, Leader of APNU, stated that the execution of Mr. Rodrigues exposes the weakness of public security under the People’s Progressive Party/Civic administration. APNU once again calls for the removal of Mr. Clement Rohee as the Minister of Home Affairs and his replacement by someone capable of suppressing crime, enforcing the law and preserving this country’s security.
