Dear Editor,
Please accept my compliments on your on-going efforts to expose corruption in Guyana. Your newspaper has been bold enough to highlight questionable situations, which need answers. Not surprisingly, the current administration refuses to change its ways and this will be its downfall.
I posited about two years ago that the PPP has more “Chiefs” than “Indians”. Their grassroot support is fragmented and questionable, with their local leaders enjoying the sweet of a corrupt regime. The PNC suffers from the same disease.
Guyana needs a movement which can expose corruption, not only within the PPP Administration, but in the Government Sector also: Customs, GRA and the Regional Administrations.
In the latter institutions every employee makes a “hustle”. Whether ‘John Public’ wants a GRA compliance or a birth certificate or a Passport, the message coming back clearly: Leave something Nah!
But to whom can you complain? Very often, the “leave something” syndrome permeates the entire organisation.
The AFC is the only party which has a semblance of self-respect. Anti-corruption should be the Party’s slogan.
Slowly but surely, corruption will pull down the PPP. Godfrey Skeete.
