Dear Editor,
The long awaited results and recommendations from the Essequibo Nite investigation is now out, or at least part of it is out and anyone who were following the procrastinations in arriving at a decision as to who were culpable for the wrongdoings, surely see and hear now the one person on who if not most of the blames fall on.
I think it is right that the authorities should take some sort of disciplinary measures on whoever is found guilty, but it is not fair to put all the blame on the one person who some believe was set up since she was sent from her ticket booth to another ticket booth to call another Essequibo Nite volunteer, then after five minutes or so her bag was searched and bogus tickets found. The big question is why was her bag not searched in her presence before sending her out of the booth.
Should the Councillor be charged and she takes a Lawyer to defend her in Court it is obvious that she will be set free since no bogus tickets were found in her bag when the Regional Chairman claimed that he found the bogus tickets after he sent the Councillor out of the booth to call someone.
The big question however is still not yet answered. What happens to the two hundred tickets that went missing in the Regional Chairman’s office under his watchful eyes while he kept all the keys?
Why did the investigators not look at that aspect of the irregularities? Why is he shielded and protected? He should be made to answer for those tickets like the Councillor. Or is the Councillor the sacrificial lamb and is being sacrificed for the Chairman’s welfare. Chuman Narine Affiance
