Voodoo doctors needed to provide accountability during the PNC regime
Dear Editor,
It would need a posse of voodoo doctors to provide accountability for the country’s revenues and expenditures during the PNC regime.
When the PNC/UF coalition government assumed office in 1964, the coalition started to come apart even before the next elections in 1968 (the first rigged elections by the PNC) as the Finance Minister, UF leader Peter D’Aguiar complained about irregularities and accountability by Burnham and the PNC.
The PNC also merged a government ministry, that of National Mobilisation with the Office of General Secretary of the PNC and provided with unaccountable funds from the Treasury.
In addition, we were without 10 years of Auditor General Reports, 1982 to 1992, what massive frauds must have taken place.
When the PPP/C came into office after free and fair elections in 1992, Auditor General Reports were presented from 1993 until the present time, with all the lapses, short-comings, and inefficiencies being displayed for public scrutiny.
And there is a Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, with opposition and government members, with an opposition chairperson, which calls on Ministers and officials for explanations.
All lapses and inefficiencies and gaps are fully documented as well as lack of acceptable answers.
We can just imagine what happened during the PNC regime. Perhaps, we should have a special Commission of Enquiry to enquire into that period.
