The new dispensation through the electorate has apparently changed nothing

Oct 23, 2012 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
This new dispensation in Parliament through the electorate seems to have done nothing to change the behavioral pattern of both the Government and the coalition opposition.
It is business as usual for this regime, as every issue of concern tabled in Parliament by the opposition, has been swept under the carpet, and man in the street has become so frustrated   that citizens have decided to turn their attention to the newly created people’s parliament to air their concerns and seek refuge.
It is the view of many that the opposition has not delivered on their promises and do not realize that politics is not for babes and suckling, especially when dealing with a regime consisting of bold-faced, corrupt, double-dealers, who have demonstrated their arrogance, and shameless defiance to truth.
I must remind citizens that wherever their concerns are likely to be urgently addressed, that is the way to go. There is no time to waste, and do not subject yourselves to those who fail to address your concerns.
Twenty years of   suffering   accompanied by promises is unbearable and the change you voted for, must be at no price or attachment. While the grass is growing the horse is starving.
I expressed my concern in your newspaper about the turbulent contractual steward at the Bartica hospital who is a lackey of this regime and one who has been a thorn in the flesh of the staff. It seems as if no one is capable or has the courage to confront this situation thus bringing an end to this unwarranted and continuous torment of employees of that medical institution.
This individual was undeservedly placed in this position by those in authority, bypassing suitably qualified candidates for the position. According to confirmed reports it is an ongoing    nightmare   for employees once they   are not supporters of this regime. Transfers and dismissals at random are some of the measures used by this individual. It is rumoured that this individual’s contract has been renewed for another three years, after years of discrimination and marginalization of staff.
I have spoken to those who should have brought some relief to these frustrated employees instead the aforementioned individual has cemented their position of authority.
The last person I spoke to concerning this individual’s unending contract was the shadow Minister for Health, who promised to feverishly confront this matter, but as I said earlier, the era of promises remains   with us. For politicians, I hope my   missive attracts the desired attention with urgency, a closure to this unbearable bold-faced, disrespectful and high-handed behavior by this regime, and a review of this person’s contract
