Guyanese must stand firm against the 2013 budget
Dear Editor,
Unfortunately, the Minister of Finance in his 2013 budget speech did absolutely nothing to stem the unending corrupt practices in Guyana which have permeated all walks of life in society because of the lack of transparency and poor governance from the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal.
As we moved into the second decade of the 21st century, the fact remains that since the turn of the century, this PPP-driven corruption does not seem to abate.
It has gotten from bad to worse in the last two years in that too many people are taking corruption for granted, as a way of life today under the immoral PPP regime. One of the primary reasons for such rampant corruption is the poor wages paid to the lower strata of workers and greed and selfish behavior that evolves from the higher level.
These vagabonds have used the state resources to enrich themselves and in doing so have not only stained the repetition of Guyana among its CARICOM neighbors but have also marginalized the poor and the working class.
In fact, the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal continues to blame the opposition and the independent media, especially Kaieteur News, for making false claims about corruption. The regime has gone so far to ask anyone who knows about any corrupt practices to come forward and make it public.
Well the young man, Pablo Singh from NDIA has done so and before this PPP cabal investigated the matter, they have instead fired the young man. Pablo Singh’s wrongful dismissal was supported by the Minister of Agriculture. What was President Ramotar view on the firing?
Guyana can progress only when the political directorship proves to the people that it will uphold the basic principle of decency, honesty and integrity and steers the nation in that direction and away from the PPP corrupt practices.
But it is pathetic and offensive that this cabal has denied that corruption exists and continues to cuss-down its citizens and blame the independent media, mainly Kaieteur New and Stabroek News, rather than nurture and uphold the above mentioned values.
We call on all Guyanese to support organizations like Transparency International both with their time and money to continue their good work and to stand firm against this heartless and corrupt PPP regime until they make the right turn and ensure that all Guyanese benefit equitably from the state resources.
Dr. Asquith Rose and Harish S. Singh.
