[00:19:10]>> Right? That's why I believe in you treat people with dignity and respect.

[00:19:29]The government did absolutely nothing to assist this family since yesterday morning.

[00:19:36]>> Absolutely nothing. All they do is bring two tente and couple plastic chair. This is all with Mark PPP here. This is all they do. We cable tent and chair. We want to ensure right that the criminal that the person that commit this monstrous act he must be held accountable. We want to know what going on with that. We want to ensure that the families are well protected, counseling, they're well looked after, but they failed them once again because since yesterday the families had nowhere to stay since yesterday.

[00:20:18]You tell me they're going to have book couple room at a hotel at least and put them up or at apartment building. They own a lot of apartment buildings. You're telling me they're going to give them two rooms?

[00:20:38]People get the red.

I you know I'm surprised but I expect far more better from at least >> as a Muslim brother right I expect far more better from I cannot believe this I cannot believe this I don't want to hear about politics this is not about politics this is about doing the right thing because at the end of the day we all will die and return to the creator, we all will die. But when we return, we want to ensure that our good deeds outweigh the bad deeds, right? Cuz we all are sinners at the end of the day. But we must ensure we look out for our fellow brothers and sisters.

[00:22:22]But simple.

[00:22:34]Now excavator come in right after they must come and see the ball field right opposite where the little little boy living that was brutally murdered. Now excavators come in after 6 years to clear the forest.

[00:22:59]Now excavators coming. How all of a sudden they finding money to do these things. How all of a sudden now they're sending trucks about two trucks in here to install street lights because the community don't have a single street light in it.

[00:36:12]>> This party and that party.

[00:36:15]What we want you come here to give you sympathy. Look, Mr. Campbell was here yesterday and I respect him for that and very intelligent man. Talk to my nephew. My nephew mentioned about the police at at Tushin.

[00:36:31]He he ignored that. He didn't feed on that or build on that. He went on to comfort my nephew. That is wisdom. That is maturity. He went to um to talk with the my nephew um the mother. Same thing.

[00:37:24]>> This funeral, this tent and stuff, people bring this. They said this is what they're going to do from the ministry and stuff.

[00:37:31]>> Yes, I mentioned that. Yes.

[00:37:33]We could do it off we own. That's why I was annoyed when my sister and my niece asked for money for buy pal.

[00:37:41]You understand? This is embarrassing because it look like if our family can't even buy pampers with the children and my sister want and it look real bad. I don't like it. Listen, I want peace in this funeral.

[00:37:57]My mother was a woman of peace.

[00:38:08]>> We don't want no problem.

[00:38:10]>> We don't want no problem.

[00:38:12]>> But we are here. See, >> we are here to ensure >> last night the was cing up my other cousin was cing up the police.

[00:38:21]I don't like when people call soft and this and that. you have an issue, do it respectfully and whatnot. But I was at the hospital just and I I hear the live and on the live I hear you said that the people had to sleep under shed.

[00:38:51]Thank you very much right for that. But I want peace. This whole this thing get far from over. We don't know how long this thing we prepare for the long haul.

[00:39:02]>> What I'm saying is that we got to take it one step at a time. If it's today, if it's tomorrow, it is next week. Whatever is it, I sit down last night by my computer desk and I bring this matter before God.

[00:39:16]And I believe that God is a prayer perpetrator justice God >> and even if you don't get justice from the the physical court or the court of the day you got to hire judge he's the judge of all judge and nothing man do can escape God. So I don't believe I believe I even pray for the person that murder my nephew and I ask God for mercy because when we preach we say God is the forgiver of every sin and I ask God for have mercy have mercy on that soul when I look at that by photograph I look at that by and I'm picturing my own son when I see the face of that young man who did this thing I'm seeing my son this is a life.

[00:40:05]>> You understand? I can't preach one thing and then live another thing. I am saying we don't want no problem if you understand. We we don't need help from anybody. Right? And we don't want no problem from anybody. If the PPP want collect back the tent and the chairs, fine. If they want to leave it and continue helping as they promise the ministry help, fine. Whatever they are doing, they got to know why they clean out the bush now. Why they putting up the light now? The heart of man is desperately wicked. This place can't bright bright like daytime. You got barefaced people. People are bent to do wickedness. You understand? We can have everything right and correct and still people are going to do wrong. I am saying I want this whole funeral proceeding here to go in peace and I know that something's going to come up because We got the guy photographed and I know attacking the life. We got the guy photographed.

[00:41:06]You understand? And we know the guy. And my mother said that is the guy.

[00:41:11]>> Okay.

[00:41:11]>> You understand? My mother just told me that is the man. She said 100% that is the man. And I know that the police maybe the police already know and we're going to work with that. Let us calm down and let us give the police a time to work.

[00:41:29]>> You understand, Mr. M?

[00:41:31]>> Well, I'm happy the family, all I got to say to you is that the family told me since this morning >> the situation and the commander mentioned that the officers on the way, >> the officers on the way and that is why the officers open the place. me just leave here.

[00:41:56]You see how >> they know me alone fear >> but they know that I don't like stupidness.

[00:42:07]>> You understand? I don't like stupidness.

[00:42:09]I want this whole thing. Listen, I want this whole thing. I want this whole thing to have to go smooth and this thing peace all the time. That's what I want.

[00:42:31]>> No, but that house is not where the murder happened. You understand? No, hold on, hold on. The video show that the man um enter the place from the There's a gate the man jump over the gate and the man jump over for God's sake. Respect authority. Obey authority.

[00:42:55]Honor the law of the land. I pledge myself to always. What we do? What are we doing? Are we going to take matters in our own hands every time we don't like something?

[00:43:05]>> No.

[00:43:06]>> Well, you got to let certain things slide. It's not about It's not about that. It's bigger than any of that.

[00:43:13]It's bigger than any of that. School children don't want to go to school 5 days a week. They don't want to go from 9 to 3. But that is it. That is it. You have to learn to restrict yourself and honor the law of the land. That's what I'm saying. The police said don't enter, don't enter.

[00:43:33]>> Right? We could be extending the whole thing, delaying the whole thing. You know the Bible too because I know Muslim people know the Bible more than some of the Christian. God told Abraham certain things. Abraham couldn't wait. He going to do your own thing and he delayed the whole process. When we want to move ahead of an authority structure that God set up, you find yourself in problem and and spiritual principles can be applied to physical to to to everyday life. And that's why this country Guyana is in this problem. Young people don't have no um um respect for law and order. They do what they want. They drink, they eat, they do whatever. Listen, that's all I want to say. I want this funeral, for my nephew to go in peace, for my mother to recover me crossing and fighting and abusing. As a pastor, I have done many funerals. And you know who does that behaving like this?

[00:44:35]people that are in heavy poverty like that is confusion is a spirit of confusion confusion and poverty just go on their heart I don't want that if they behave if they don't behave theel you hear I myself I will remove myself from the situation and let them see if they can deal with me >> I'll listen to you honestly >> yes and like I said I respect you because you elected leader of >> I'm listening to you all the time >> and as a pastor >> and that's why I'm here to show support >> right and I respect that but this thing with this girl and tell you there I am telling you if I shall >> my niece and shalai >> well I don't know that's what she mentioned to us >> she collect them from here last night and she went by my brother and she sleep a good sleep and when she come back here well whatever little assistant you give here.

[00:45:40]>> Listen, I'm leaving now. I'm going back to the hospital recovery >> that can get to see my mother. Yeah, please.

[00:45:49]And you keep the peace.

[00:45:51]>> Yeah, please keep the peace.
