What will the response be?

Dec 14, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,

So here we go again, another NGO (Global Witness) has pronounced on the levels of corruption in Guyana. This is addition to Transparency International and the French Export Credit Insurance Company Coface.

So what will the response be? President Jagdeo will continue to deny and say that they are biased against his Government.

Well can the President and the others that live in Ogle, tell the Guyanese people where the monies came from to build those mansions?

The onus in on them to prove to the public, that they have acquired those assets lawfully from their legal earnings.

I fail to see the “Let’s Cut Down” (LCD) strategy getting any monies at this stage, since the international community is well aware of the levels of corruption here.

They (Govt.) can try to pull the wool over the eyes of their die hard supporters in the sugar estates who worship them like gods, unfortunately that doesn’t happen in the international community.

There is still Barama and Bai Shan Lin, who was banned from logging sometime ago, but is still “cutting down” and the international community, knows that.

Then ROMANEX is soon to come on stream. So President Jagdeo is well on the ball, his LCD is in full swing.
