The criminals among us
Dear Editor,
It is a common practice where renowned rogues and vagabonds seek refuge and comfort among individuals holding high offices, with the belief that their checkered pasts can be erased. There is such a character who is a councilor of the recently installed IMC at Bartica.
This nefarious character has a call-in programme on which citizens air their grievances. Recently, he willfully misled citizens saying that the IMC is not responsible for the collection and disposal of garbage.
In a previous missive in your column I refuted the notoriety of such claim. The following week citizens awaited the answers as promised. This was not to be because celebrating his birthday was so important that he conveniently shortened the programme to celebrate his birthday with friends and family.
Later on TV birthday greetings were sent to the wrongdoer by no other than the President. I then realized that birds of a feather flock together and whether the President is aware of the character with whom he is associating.
White collar criminals make up this regime and can be found at every stratum of Administration in Guyana.
I have a message from the residents of Kartabo. The community wants you to return their 40HP outboard and cutter which you took in 2010 in the guise that you would repair and service .
To date the residents have not seen or heard from this councilor who has a weakness for such articles.
There is also a similar complaint from Itabali where the engine which was to be repaired was seen on a speedboat plying the Essequibo River The residents of Kartabo want their property either repaired or in parts. Their only option if this demand is not met with urgency is to have police intervention.
I know the person involved is no stranger to such confrontation. Characters of his ilk make up the IMC.
The PPP/C is known to disown these characters whenever they are caught or confronted. It did the same thing to Roger Khan and the notorious Chowtie who was their comrade and henchman committing crimes in areas not expected.
