We cannot allow this to happen
Dear Editor,
Since President Jagdeo recently stated that only where persons come forward and give evidence of corrupt practice an investigation can be conducted, agencies such as the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), which are prone to frauds, should fund a scheme to give importers the ‘facilitation cash’ to induce the corrupt officers.
In this way the rotten apples would be clearly and easily identified and disposed of by way of dismissal as was ‘facilitated’ by Fidelity.
But further I believe that corrupt officers need to face the harshest penalty since they are robbing the state of taxes when some of us have absolutely no choice but to pay a substantial amount of our meagre earnings in taxes.
I share the view of the President that all public officers and public servants whose amassed wealth is disproportionate with their legitimate earnings should be investigated.
Why must a few pay for all of us? Isn’t this unfair? If corrupt practices continue then the popular saying “the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer’ will hold true for many Guyanese.
We cannot allow this to happen!
