Dear Editor,
I watched in total disbelief the rantings of Lloyd D'Aguilar before the Tivoli Commission of Enquiry looking into the 2010 operation of security forces in Tivoli Gardens.
His demeanour was very similar to the ISIS thugs who have captured large swaths of land throughout Iraq and Syria under the nose of those governments who were too busy fighting other insurgents and not paying attention to the whole country, thus allowing people like D'Aguilar to establish a foothold and suddenly come from nowhere claiming to be the head of some committee never previously heard of.
In the case of D'Aguilar, he says he is the sole representative of the Tivoli Committee representing citizens of Tivoli Gardens.
Who is this man? Was he democratically elected? To whom does he report in the area? Is it the Member of Parliament Desmond McKenzie, who, as far as I know, is the democratically elected representative of all the people in Tivoli Gardens? Or is he another brown man who believes he can do anything in this country and get away with it?
I was extremely overjoyed with the way the commissioner removed him from the hearing, and if he is reinstated I hope he will conduct himself in a manner that will not lead to his expulsion from the proceedings again.
