The devils are cast down and the abominations now walk among us

Dear Editor,
The level of administrative prudence and execution, forcing accountability with obviously strong support grounds by Mr. Clement Corlette and his team which has led to the exposure of immense irregularities in Region Four and a direct link to the Regional Executive Officer requires attention and an ovation.
This conduct of enforcing accountability must be applauded as a streak of light in the overwhelming specter of administrative corruption, lawlessness and ineptness that has overshadowed this nation under the too long reign of the PPP/C.
But this is only the beginning, already creatures are crawling out of the proverbial Cup to claim the aura of integrity emanating from the efforts of the PNCR Regional Chairman and his team to ensure the proper uses of taxpayers’ dollars.
The next issue is the attempts to cover this matter up, do not look to the dubious DPP’S office for a consistent flow of proper conduct. The REO has already said that should he be held accountable he will “talk” and “what he has to say is going to be very explosive in terms of how it will affect the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development” according to Mr. Ali’s Lawyer.
If as this man states that he was ‘dictated to’ then we must construe that culprits lie in the top echelons of both ministries and that they might have files and a capacity to also “talk on those who have the power to discipline them which most likely includes…?
The Region and awake Guyanese must now watch this matter carefully.
I must again congratulate Mr. Corlette and his team for demonstrating the conduct and what is expected from those placed in public office, even in the face of an overwhelming culture of mediocrity and apathy at times even without the full support of one’s own colleagues who would prefer the “don’t care ah damn, ah done thief already “Jumbie dance customs and practices, we must be honest enough to recognise that dangerous callous opportunism transcends political parties and ethnicities. Mr. Corbin has selected well for Region Four.
Another issue that must grip our attention is the Treon Summer case which Council Basil Williams is engaged in, and is exposing the political undercurrents infecting the legal system in respect to the compound issues that are affecting dozens of grass root ‘youth’ captured in a vicious pit of spite and political/ethnic malice.
The subsequent bill that gives the DPP’S office powers of appeal to override the decision of the court and hold persons deemed political prisoners in prison indefinitely, even after freed by the courts is reminiscent of the fascist systems adopted by all questionable administrations, allowing the State to erect a primitive extension of its spite when it lacks the raw intelligence to legally execute the will of the people as against that of the lesser Pompous Pantheon.
We must seriously weigh this against the fact that David Zammet was released by the court of the murder of Minister Satyadeow Sawh and was subsequently poisoned by a substance whose symptoms was identified by the leader of the opposition to resemble poisons used in the old soviet block countries. The Devils are cast down and the abominations now walk among us.
