Open letter to the Auditor General
Dear Auditor General,
Recently the media has reported on a number of issues suggesting that there is fraud, waste, abuse and corruption involving public officials and public accounts.
Specifically, there were references to a public servant who built a house that could not be supported by the individual’s public service income, and the suggestions that certain equipment were acquired at exorbitant prices through the tender process. Moreover, there are general allegations of unaccounted public monies.
Mr. Auditor General, I believe that you have the authority to investigate these matters. Therefore, I call upon you to do so and send a strong message that you would not stand by and allow Guyana to be characterised as a country with ‘Kleptocrats’ and retinues.
I am sure that your Audit/ Value for Money Unit has acquired the necessary skills to do an exemplary job.
As you know, you are statutorily permitted to criticise the government without fear of persecution. So, in the words of Dr. Nanda Gopaul, I charge you “If you believe in freedom of speech, express yourself freely.
If you believe in truth, tell it. If you believe in a free and open society, act in the open.”
D. Harding
