Thank heavens for KN, AFC and the exposures

Jun 20, 2012 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
In a recent contribution via your letter column, I thanked God for-Kaieteur News and AFC for their exposure of corruption and the waste of taxpayer’s money by the PPP/C Administration. I think many Guyanese ought to join in that prayer. These two entities are providing a mouthpiece for those who are muzzled in one way or another but who abhor corruption.
For over a decade now the tender process has been a convenient tool in the hands of the greedy in government agencies. The situation stinks, particularly at the Ministerial (agency) and Regional levels and I think that Kaieteur News and the AFC should encourage staff, who had been watching helplessly as a few filled their pockets, to pass verifiable and credible information so that the exposure can continue.
President Ramotar should make an open declaration of war against corruption, starting with some Ministries and cronies of the Administration. No defence attempted by Dr Ramsammy, Michael Khan and others can stop the truth from coming out in the New GPC fiasco.
That company is bilking this poor nation. How can anyone with any sense of decency remain silent? Purge your souls. Send information to those media houses that wish to join in the battle against corruption. We have a duty to do so in the interest of our dear land and in the interest of posterity. Enough is Enough!
Go into the villages and estates: the PPP/C big wigs are scampering to put sweet coating on their inefficiencies. At the community level, Party activists cannot even talk to the people. They foolishly feel that the PPP can  automatically win.
On the whole, the PPP is dreaming. Its support base has been severely eroded.
It can redeem itself by jailing some of the white collar thieves in the Party hierarchy. But that may mean jailing the entire PPP!
