How come no one condemned Prof Ryan and Prof La Guerre when they said the same thing as Nizam is saying now, way back in 1992? That Indians are totally excluded from the upper hierarchy of the Police service.
What has changed since then, almost 20 years later? We do not need another study or commission of enquiry to tell us that.
How come Indians excelling in the written exams but cannot pass the interviews by African panelists to get promotion? Are we saying that Africans alone make good police? Are we saying that Indians can excel in the exams but lack the brains to manage the Police Service?
Look let us call a spade a spade, and deal with rampant racial discrimination against Indians in the Police Service disguised as ‘meritocracy’.
Ethnic discrimination always leads to social instability, look at Shiite against Sunni in the Middle East and tribe against tribe in Africa. That is what we are risking here, and will sooner lead to racial strife that dealing with the problem of rampant discrimination.
As a start, let us have a law that the interview panel must consist of equal numbers of Indians and Africans.
The failure of the Police Service to arrest crime in a small country as Trinidad and Tobago is directly related to the promotion of many incompetent and undeserving police offices of African descent into positions where they do not have the intelligence to perform.
Square pegs in round holes. This has led to the collapse of performance in the Police Service and we will suffer while this remains so.
My advice to Nizam is to walk with the Prof Ryan and Prof La Guerre study from 1992 along with his other information to back up his statements. Go on the offensive on TV and radio. Do not back down you are right.
So leave Nizam alone, do not kill the messenger, our lives may be at stake.
