Where has the money gone?

Jan 04, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter in the press on December 31, 2011 caption “Why the obsession with Jagdeo?” which accused sections of the media of trying to keep this man in the spotlight.
Well I cannot speak for the independent media house, but I can share my perspective on that question.
Well, if one were to ask Lawrence Duprey from CLICO, the Directors of the Chinese company that built that white elephant called the Skeldon Sugar Factory, the Directors of the former Sanata Textiles, Fip Motilall from the famous Amaila Falls Road, the Directors of the Chinese company that is building the fiber optic cable, among others (I have a long list of other Directors), why this obsession, then you shall find many reasons why it is a relevant issue.
Where has the people money gone, might be a more pertinent question and until that question is answered, the obsession will continue.
As a further insight one needs to also ask, ‘Why is the combined national debt some US$1,500 million today when only five years ago it was some US$700 million?  What has this money been spent on?
That is why the AFC was promising to bring in forensic auditors to jail those with sticky fingers regardless of what office they held.
