Is it too much to expect Muslims to be Honorable?

Oct 29, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I would like to bring to your attention that there is a fraud at the CIOG. The fraud in itself should be newsworthy as this is a very large non-profit organization in our country. However, what concern me most at this time, is the way the investigations and subsequent actions have been executed, and the information that it has revealed.
The behavior of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) during the period of investigation, and just after, has left much to be desired. It also exposed the character flaws and incompetence of the main actors.
Upon learning of one particular action taken, the replacement of the General Manager by a person referred to the police by the Auditor General, I asked by email, copied to stakeholders of the CIOG, the rationale of hiring a character of questionable integrity, especially at a time when a fraud has just been discovered.
Are they trying to set that individual up for a fall? After the fact, they can then claim it was this guy who did it all, just check his records.
My email was belatedly answered by one filled with lies and cover-ups, as an interim investigative report that pre-dates their response, and that I have managed to secure, proves.
The character assassination also began with terms like “scurrilous” being used to describe my query, and lies being peddled, aimed at hurting my reputation. It may be important to note also, that I have seen a statement that gives credence to my charge of fraud.
What we would like to see happen is the reorganization of the CIOG redounding to the benefit of all mankind in general, and the poor and needy in particular, by: Having the current administration of the CIOG resign en bloc; letting the Imams of this country then select an interim management committee (IMC) consisting of Imams only; having the IMC then revisit the constitution, operating protocols and policies of the CIOG.
Resignations of people in charge when fraud is uncovered is nothing new, actually it is the honorable thing to do. Is it too much to expect Muslims to be Honorable?
Mr. Editor, I would not like to take up more space in your newspapers without adequate notice. So please be advised that I’ll be sending a full exposé, detailing the problems and explaining why I think the solutions proffered above are justified.
