Thus far we have learn that the Roosevelt Skerrit and it’s Tonton Macoute like police force now led by an unprincipled police commissioner Lincoln Corbette are directly  linked with criminal misconduct , misleading investigations and tampering with evidence all related to the Choksi matter. We reported on the machinations by Corbette and a sleazy attorney representing the Roosevelt Skerrit crime syndicate when they attempted to file false statements to the courts.

We have also exposed attempts by Corbette to tamper with the daily report from the coast guard vessel that met Choksi at the Cabrits Port.

In another eye popping move the Maniku Gang of the Dominica Police force was caught red handed staging a Burglary at the Sub-Treasury and Post Office in Portsmouth.  Last Friday government employees at the Portsmouth Sub –Treasury met the entire facility ravaged and ransacked and even today many people in the Portsmouth are thinking that the treasury office was burglarized-most likely by petty thieves. With the help of CCTV cameras in the neighborhood we can confirm that the Credit Union Building which is home to the Sub-Treasury and post office was actually burglarized by Roosevelt Skerrit Maniku gang.

The evidence shows that the Maniku Gang arrived very early on Friday Morning and forced their way into the Credit Union Building. The evidence also shows the Maniku Gang attempting to flee the scene undetected but then people were already up and about and so they pretended that they were there on some other mission. Another indication of dumb criminals acting out of desperation  

We reached out to a source within the police force who also confirmed that the Maniku Gang was spotted in Portsmouth and had falsely claim that they were there to do an a burglary investigation however there is no record that an investigation was done nor was a burglary reported by the staff at the sub –treasury or the staff of the Portsmouth credit Union. The staff had quickly concluded that the Maniku Gang was responsible for the break and entry. 

We also spoke to a staff member of the Portsmouth Credit Union who also confirmed that the Maniku Gang was nearby and were acting quite guilty and uncomfortable. According to that staff member “they took off without even saying a word to us, we thinking that the police was there to investigate the break and entry”

The obvious question is why would the Maniku Gang burglarize the sub-treasury office in Portsmouth and what were they looking for?

What we have been told is that the sub-treasury would have had much evidence of transactions involving the arrival of Choksi into the Portsmouth Port and such evidence could be very damaging to the government and police case against Mehul Choksi. Cobra’s transaction for example, would have been done through the sub-treasury office in Portsmouth.  

Conventional wisdom teaches that the police is there to girder the legitimacy of the state and enhance accountability between the state and its citizens. In Dominica today it is quite the opposite- the Commonwealth of Dominica police force lacks credibility and is directly responsible for the most corrupt government administration in the Caribbean. The impact of corruption in the police is far reaching and is directly responsible for the decadence in Dominica. The basic functions of law and order are compromised and the state cannot legitimately prevent and punish violations of the law or even protect human rights.

It is now the responsibility of the Police to explain why a gang of police officers burglarized the sub-treasury in Portsmouth. Let’s hope that the Police do not resort to another crime to cover the crime at the sub treasury in Portsmouth

For Reflection

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. 

To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.(low Self Esteem- thinks only money bring happiness??) 

To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. (Anthony Haiden, Anthony Astaphan, Lennox Lawrence, Alick Lawrence, Dodgy Diplomats, Nassief Brothers   et al)

To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. (Principle,Citizenship, passports???)

To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. ( Too Much to mention)

To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.” ( Widespread Mendicancy??)
