Govt. must let us know when they will address concerns about NCN, NICIL, and NIS

Oct 27, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have observed that many organizations are calling for the Opposition to support the passing of the anti-money laundering and terrorism legislation, having been silent over time about corruption, bribery, nepotism, etc which even the blind can see, feel and smell.
If these organizations are really serious and interested in transparency, good governance and the rule of law, then they should demand that all information regarding NICIL, the Marriot, CJIA, etc be made public so that all those who support the present government can get to know the facts.
What is not desired is the crying and wailing of the government and these private sector groups, flooding the media with their crocodile tears. Beyond this, the government needs to let us know how soon they will address the concerns about NDIA, NCN, NICIL, NIS, etc which are festering sores on our national psyche. Also, the Opposition parties should urgently reform GECOM which has a tainted past under the present Chairman who was the spin twin of the Chief Elections Officer, and who lacks credibility.
Further, the government needs to let the public know how even a junior minister has amassed more wealth than Burnham, Hoyte and the Jagans put together.
After all, supporters of the PPP are concerned that the present leaders of the party have the guts to claim that they are following the example of Cheddi Jagan.
Cheddi was never perceived/accused/suspected of stealing from the public purse. With his passing and that of Janet Jagan along with the exit of Moses, Ralph and other stalwarts, the PPP has now gone to the dogs.
The current and immediate past President are fine examples of non-leader material. What they excel in is ‘busing like blackguard women’ in public. The others in the PPP mimic these rantings and are all obsessed with devouring the sustenance of the poor and powerless in our country.
Their avarice and greed have no limits and has been increasing by geometric progression.
 Ed Singh
