Dear Editor,
President Bharrat Jagdeo is an abysmal failure. Dean Clement should stop embarrassing himself or herself by making up stories about his leadership to respond to Freddie Kissoon (“An outrageous statement”, KN 26/11/2010).
All you have to do to see how this country has gone to the dogs under Jagdeo is to open the newspapers or walk down the streets. There are massive corruption, unprecedented crime, runaway foreign debts, bitter racial divisions, no regard for the law, environmental crises, drugs running, money laundering, jobs for the boys, housing slums, collapsing infrastructures, taxpayers’ money advanced to friends and family, trafficking in persons, scams, millions stolen from Office of the President, to name a few.
On everything bad this president has either broken the record or set new ground.
Look at the billions of dollars the government cannot account for as exposed in the Auditor General’s Reports and Public Accounts Committee.
An estimated 50 percent of the economy is propped up by drugs money, according to international sources and credible economists. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that the “building boom” is money laundering.
If the Revenue Authority does its job it will know. Almost everything this government touches becomes tainted. Freddie Kissoon is only writing what everyone knows.
Suresh Ramkellawan.
