Former Top Cop denies involvement in case of missing diamonds

Responding to what he called, among other things a “poisonous and nympholeptic” article in the nation’s newspapers, former Commissioner of Police, Floyd Mc Donald, has categorically denied that he had anything to do with the matter involving some $54M worth of missing diamonds. In a statement to the press over the weekend, Mc Donald outlined that during his period of employment in the Guyana Police Force, (GPF) he never “received, saw, examined, and sent to examine any diamonds in relation to Ronald Khan.” The diamonds reportedly belong to Ronald Khan who has since filed a suit against the State to reclaim the diamonds and or its value. According to Mc Donald he never gave Inspector Oswald Maison instructions on any diamonds. “Inspector Maison therefore NEVER returned any DIAMONDS to me.” Mc Donald held that the article’s corrosive nature is aimed at his character. “I am therefore calling on the author at this incipient stage to correct his poisonous article with like coverage.” When contacted, Mc Donald told Kaieteur News that he did not get a chance to contact the AG‘s office as it relates to the matter. The notice was only brought to my attention on Saturday. Behold, the newspaper has an article purporting that I had something to do with this matter. The article is totally false and contains a lot of hearsay. “I don’t even know who Ronald Khan is or have I ever heard of him.”

Retired Supt Harley Davidson, who was Deputy to Mc Donald during his tenure in the Force, also denied the allegation. Much like the former Commissioner of Police, Davidson denied the reports. He said that they caused him much embarrassment. “I don’t know what they are talking about and the AG office never contacted me.” Similarly, another officer said to be involved, Oswald Maison, said that he had nothing to do with the matter since he left the GPF two years before the matter allegedly occurred.
