Corruption within an IMC

May 01, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
The collusive and autocratic behaviour of the Minister of Local Government, replacing the legitimate NDC with a selected band of PPP/C cronies, some of whom have a sordid past, has resulted in massive corrupt practices.
Many Barticians were supportive and accepted this usurpation by the Minister, not realizing the worst is on the horizon. This selective bunch has within its ranks, rogues and vagabonds whose self interest is paramount. The removal of the legitimate officers was based on only allegations. There are among the usurpers those who were found guilty of fraud.
Citizens knew of the $1.7M of their tax dollars injected into the coffers of the RDC, for the construction of a road and dump site for garbage . This money was secretly handed to an affiliate of the usurpers, without being tendered. Corruption coupled with autocracy is rife.
One of the members of the IMC attempted to mislead residents on TV, saying that the IMC is not responsible for the collection of garbage, that this is now the responsibility of the RDC.
If this is so then rates and taxes must be paid to the RDC. Fortunately, I was not au fait with the telephone number of the TV station. I would have asked him about the money they secretly received from the REO for the construction of the road and site for garbage, and why the contractor has not completed the job he was paid to do.
I hope the Regional Chairman informs citizens of the truth. I am giving these members of the IMC who have previous involvement with tax payers monies to do the most honorable thing by resigning to save further embarrassment.
You cannot refer to these wrongdoers as kleptomaniac, because they do not suffer from kleptomania, they all have economic motives
