A case of professional misconduct

May 07, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
Guyana — the land of many waters—the land of many contrasts — the land of many two faced professionals who speak of one thing and do exactly the opposite. These kinds of personalities are found within the political sphere and they overwhelm all others.
For this reason there is hope for Guyana to lift itself out of the morass of social degeneration and decay.
There is a current gaff that a prominent member of one of the opposition parties is so rotten that he is aware that others know of his crookery, yet he screams from any soapbox about corruption.
He is a lawyer, and feels justified because of what is going on in the Courts these days. He appears for a client who is involved in litigation touching on money and real property.
It appears he is on the losing side so what has he done?  He wrote the Commercial Bank where the person against whom he is appearing has an account, telling the bank that he is the lawyer for that person and sought information concerning that person’s account.
The Bank apparently believed him — Is he not a lawyer and politician? It supplied some information to him. The person against whom he is appearing learnt of this vulgarity and confronted the Bank.
The Bank promptly recalled the document it sent to this “virtuous member of the legal fraternity and a politician” and reminded him that he had represented to them that he was the person’s lawyer.
The Leader of the Opposition is aware of this matter and he is in consultation with his inner circle as to any course of action that may follow. Interesting days are ahead. Would the matter be swept under the blanket —to protect the turf?
After all, this guy is not a jhagabat but a non-supporter of the Government. Would this letter see the light of day in the free press of this country?
