I hope granger don’t give him second chance
I can’t understand, our dear president put the AFC Ramjattan n told him he must keep his eye on the crime situation. Every one saying all kind of bad things about the man. But we need to understand Ramjattan when u think he looking at the crime he’s not. The gat a cock eye so he fooling granger telling him he eye deh focusing on crime but I reality he eye deh looking some way else. Some person did knew, they were at a dinner n they accusing Ramjattan looking at them wife which wasn’t truth.
Hope he wasn’t one of those that was given a second chance …
Great job to the JS,now we will see him wanted again next week,the courts will fail again,Anand did you ask jenny West and team to return her millions,,this is a CAREER CRIMINAL jenny was a trusted public servent from the most honest party
Hope Granger does not release these scumbags as they will carry on with what they are good at; robbery with violence including murder.They believe that there is no dignity in honest work so they take what belongs to others by brute force or even murder. Send them to the Mazaruni prison for a long long time. Let them work for their food and lodging while there. Hard labour day after day would be the best sentence
Seriously? After two weeks you expect a criminal to keep the money?
He aint saving for his future.
Did you recover they money?
