That investigation into fraud
Dear Editor,
I read some letters in the various letter columns in the Chronicle, Stabroek News and your newspaper in connection with the recently held Essequibo Night which was held on the 5th and 6th of October, 2012.
The contents of the letters clearly indicated that there was some level of fraud pertaining to lost tickets and the sales of bogus tickets.
At the October month R.D.C,meeting, Regional Opposition Councillor questioned whether any investigation or Police action is taking place and as was disclosed by the Chairman of the Council, some investigation was taking place.
I took it my duty to find out from a PPP Colleague whether that is so and I was told yes, and that the PPP is doing an investigation instead of the Regional Authorities or state, even though the event was a Regional one and not a Party event.
To my mind and thinking if there are frauds, and I have no doubt about that (knowing the individual who is involved) then the government should do the investigation, if not the Police.
My friend in the PPP further hinted to me that Zulfikar Mustapha, who is the Party’s Executive Secretary, was to head an investigation team, but since the matter is involving a central committee member, the Party decided to send a Minister who is a close friend and always defends the Regional official.
The person who heads the team is from the Local Government Ministry and a very close associate of the Regional Official.
Party members are saying that they have no confidence in that investigation since the Local Government official will try his best to turn things away from the Regional official and defend him to the last.
Hope that this letter can help to bring about an honest investigation and sooner the better.
