Wastage of taxpayers’ money

Aug 30, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
This country sickens me to the core. The level of waste, corruption, mismanagement and inefficiency that surround this nation is staggering. Two hundred and fifty-four million dollars already down the drain for an election that never came off the ground.
Beyond the inglorious mockery of democracy and the savage denial of the constitutional rights of the citizenry, this was another act of ripping off the poor tax-paying people of this nation.
Political fiends continue to push this nation further down its hole of ignominy. Imagine spending US$1.27 million or $550 per voter and not holding election. A lot of people got paid for nothing. And the Chief Election Officer tells us that there are still outstanding liabilities. There is still more wastage coming.
By next year we will be spending this and more on another election. The politicians are to blame – all of them. They have kicked Guyanese in the teeth yet again with this move. It seems like nobody cares anymore.
Michael Maxwell
