Who is really on the breadline?

Dear Mr Editor,
As the saying goes, “mouth open, story jump out”. I am delighted that the combined Opposition has joined forces to slash the budget.  In the wake of this historic political venture in our Dear Land of Guyana, Guyanese at home and further afield and the many international diplomatic missions are witnessing the mass injustice that have been meted out to the voiceless as Mr Sharma would say.
Every day when one opens the Kaieteur News and Stabroek News, corruption stares us straight in the eyes. When the budgetary allocations to both NCN and GINA were cut, both managements caused their employees to protest these cuts, not knowing the words of Mr Sattaur would have come to “nip him in the butt”.
My gut tells me, and I am sure many are convinced, that due to the mass theft within, and with the cut in the allocation to NCN, managements got instant headache because their resources ran scare. In the long run, the junior employees had their fundamental rights were trampled upon, in that, they were forced to protest to protect their bosses who from the inception used, abused and cheated them of their rightfully earned wages and salaries.
Monies that should have been paid into the accounts of NCN were paid to selected persons.
I am wondering should these employees take the streets in protest for monies paid to NCN by GT&T and other entities on their behalf, if management would sanction them.
The question still begs to be asked, why is it that the CEO is still on the job when an investigation is currently being conducted and knowing fully that he happens to play an integral part in this massive corrupt entity.
If it is true as reported that our President had asked for an investigation into the operations of NCN, he must be applauded. However, ordering an investigation is not the final straw. What is needed is for those found guilty of  corruption  to face the law. Monies embezzled must be returned and as such those employees that were cheated of their rightfully earned cash must be reimbursed with interest.
This mass corruption must come to an end. The previous administration turned a blind eye to corruption resulting in an epidemic. We need a total cleansing of Dear Land of Guyana of these thieves plaguing of society.
