Khamraj Lall’s arrest is only the tip of the iceberg

Dear Editor,

After being banished into exile since a tape recording revealed that he was soliciting sex from a 14 year old boy, Kwame McKoy has finally resurfaced but once again for all the wrong reasons. Following the seizure of US$620,000 from Pilot Khamaraj Lall’s Lear Jet in Puerto Rico last week, information has surfaced that both Jagdeo and Ramotar have used the jet on many occasions and that Lall was given special permission to build a private hangar at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport Timehri so that he and his passengers could leave the country without security checks on their baggage.

In defense of his bosses’ use of the Lear Jet, Kwame McKoy has stated that “anybody can use a plane, it should not be taken to mean anything.” This is the most unsound, irrational and unwise statement, but coming from a someone who was caught on a tape soliciting sex from a fourteen year old boy but denied it was his voice, one should not be surprised. Although there was overwhelming evidence that the voice was his, yet he was not fired by the Jagdeo/Ramotar regime, which goes to show how corrupt and deceitful the PPP regime is. But no one should expect anything better from this regime and this individual.

Maybe not for him but for the public, this story does have much meaning and we shall explain the facts to the people.

Fact 1 – This Lear Jet facility has been used not once, not twice but several times by the Leadership of the PPP at the taxpayer’s expense, to ferry their executives out of Guyana by totally bypassing the local Customs and Border control checks. No bags are checked and inspected by Customs and therefore this opens the door for all kinds of illegal shipment of items– be it stolen taxpayer’s money, drugs and even katahar out of Guyana with no checks in place. The relevant questions are how long was this secretive arrangement in operation? And why was Pilot Khemraj Lall given special permission to build a private hangar? Why the Minister Works and Hydraulics and the CEO of the Airport who acknowledged that they knew about this secret deal did not make it public? Are they not culpable and just as deceitful as the rest in the PPP cabal?

Fact 2 – The US Government has been watching a number of senior PPP functionaries since Roger Khan was convicted in the US for activities involving money laundering and narco-trafficking. The US has a certain KING KONG who lives in the $600 million beach front property in Pradoville under surveillance.  The arrest of Pilot Khemraj Lall was just a shot across the bow to remind him that he is being watched constantly and it is only a matter of time before he is arrested. We were reliably informed that the US$620,000 that was seized from Lall’s Lear Jet was stolen from the Treasury and placed into an overseas bank account by a corrupt PPP official and was now being repatriated to Guyana for the PPP elections campaign.

Fact 3 – Like Roger Khan, Edul Ahmad, and Sonny Ramdeo, former owner of E-Z Jet who were pressured by the US government for information on the crooks at Freedom House, they will also apply pressure on the incarcerated Khemraj Lall for more information about the US$620.000 as they set up for the final move against the narco-traffickers and money launderers.  Once the PPP lose the upcoming elections, it will be open season for them.  The only advantage the PPP leadership currently has is that they have diplomatic passports, which are sheltering them from prosecution. But with a new Government, the unrighteous and evil Pradoville crew of drug traffickers and money launderers will fall like a pack of cards as they banished from civilized society and into new homes in Otisville Federal Correctional Facilities. The game plan is set; it is not what will happen but when it will happen. Khamraj Lall’s arrest is only the tip of the iceberg.

These bandits who think that they are invincible should listen to Gandhi who said, “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it—always.”

Cash jet pilot confined to home as condition for bail

As part of the surety for the US$100,000 bail he was granted on Monday, Chief Executive Officer of the Exec Jet Club Khamraj Lall has had to submit his pilot’s licenses and has been confined to his New Jersey home with the only travel allowed being to Puerto Rico for his court hearing.

This may be the reason why one day after the court hearing it was announced that Lall—who was two weeks ago caught with US$620,000 stashed aboard his private jet at a Puerto Rican airport...
