THE GRA IS WRONG TO SEIZE VEHICLES

Sep 10, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
We read in Kaieteur News where the Commissioner General of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) has seized and impounded two vehicles owned by a family friend of Mr. Glenn Lall, owner and publisher of Kaieteur News.
For years, Kaieteur News has been exposing the corrupt practices of the Jagdeo/Ramotar regime especially how friends of the regime have been abusing the duty free concession with some shady companies that are plundering our forestry resources and destroying the environment.
The PPP is very spiteful and is prepared to do anything, including using the GRA to carry out its vindictive acts against Kaieteur News. So for Mr. Sattaur to say that the seizure of the two vehicles has nothing to do with Kaieteur News exposing the GRA duty free shady deals is dishonest. The GRA Commissioner knows fully well that the two are related and that he is doing the bidding of his masters out of Freedom House. Shame on him for being biased and unprofessional.
Seizing two cars owned by Glenn Lall’s family is unethical, immoral and wicked. It appears that the commissioner will do anything to please his bosses.
Over the years, GRA has conducted a witch-hunt on anyone who attacks, criticizes and exposes the financial skullduggery of the corrupt and dictatorial regime. Many have received huge bogus tax bills that date back to more than a decade. It is highly inept and downright crooked and wicked for a public servant to use his position to discriminate against and penalize innocent citizens wrongfully.
We want the public to know that Glenn Lall has done nothing wrong and so is Freddie Kissoon and many others who have felt the brunt of these actions.
And while we are at it, we want the Commissioner to tell the nation if the recruitment process at the GRA was not abused and compromised when he placed his children and close family members in high paying cushy jobs at the GRA.
Nepotism is alive and well at the GRA and this man has the gall to say that he is following the law. The operations at the GRA under him stinks.
Thus Mr. Sattuar has no moral authority to lecture anyone about following the law since he himself is allegedly an abuser of the law and is engaged in massive conflict of interest and nepotism in favour of his close family and children.  Only an arrogant, wicked and hurtful individual would behave this way.  Shame on him for using such an important office for the narrow and dogmatic execution of the PPP political agenda against Mr. Glenn Lall.  Yes, shame on you Sir!
