Former Minister of Home Affairs,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, Clement Rohee,Wholesale Jerseys USA, yesterday made a mockery of the new government’s approach to addressing the spate in crime. He called for “scientific data” to prove that late night clubbing significantly contributes to a high crime rate.At a press conference at Freedom House, Rohee said that he is not a supporter of the 2:00hrs curfew as he knows that it definitely would not help to curb the crime situation. “That is why I never (implemented) it while I was in office.”“I have never noticed during my tenure as Minister of Home Affairs that bars and clubs remaining open after 2:00am led to any spike,Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys,” said Rohee.“There is no scientific data that anyone can provide” to suggest that the late parties contributed to spikes in crime.”As such,China Jerseys, he criticized the implementation of the archaic law by Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, noting that A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) government does not have any anti-crime plan in place to effectively tackle the issue.Recently, Ramjattan told the National Assembly the new government would have moved to ensure that all clubs and bars are shut by 2:00hrs—imposing a law that was long in place.This announcement and subsequent implementation was met with mostly disgust from the voting population—dominated by young people. Club and bar owners did not take this nicely either as many of them lamented the amount of money that they will lose as a result.Yesterday former Minister, Rohee expressed his opinion that implementing such a decree is similar to placing a curfew on the population.He said,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, “I’ve gone to many functions, whether it’s a wedding or staff party and by the time 11:00hrs people would start walking away.When you ask them where they’re going; they going to Galaxy (Gravity),Wholesale Jerseys, they’re going to Palm Court, they going to 704; this is sometimes after 12:00hrs…So you’re giving these people two hours to sport? Oh come on, this is not Guyanese. And that is the reason why I didn’t do it… in fact what you’re doing is imposing a curfew on the people.”When pointed to the fact that some Caribbean jurisdictions also have such impositions, Rohee said that each country is to its own but noted that Montego Bay has some parties that go pretty late—way past 2:00hrs in the morning.He added that in all his years as Minister of Home Affairs, never did any of his counterparts put late night clubbing on the table as a reason for the hike in crime in any jurisdiction.Rohee said that while in the opposition, Ramjattan claimed to have had the solution to crime in Guyana. “Now that he’s in office, it’s a different story.”He continued, “Ramjattan was one of the most vocal men in Parliament who had the solutions. So did Mr. Granger; they all had the solutions.So I anticipated when those guys walked into their offices they all had their blueprint in their hand and they knew what they were going to do.”Rohee said that it seems as if Ramjattan is being sheltered from public bashing unlike what was dealt to him as in the case when he was asked to resign.The former Minister was then asked if he wouldn’t agree that it was too early—less than two months after assuming office—to deem Ramjattan a failure and call for his resignation. But he responded, “It has nothing to do with early; once you take on the responsibility, the moment you are sworn in, that’s it.”Rohee said that the various forms of violent crimes must be addressed by a multi-agency approach to deal with the ongoing spike.(Abena Rockcliffe)
