This immoral transfer of state assets suggest that some in the PPP knew they had lost the elections

Jun 28, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is quite clear from the revelations of impropriety committed by ministers and other senior functionaries of the former government that the majority of them knew that the PPP/C had lost the elections. That is the only explanation for the indecent, immoral, and decidedly unlawful transfer of state assets to these private individuals. These acts rank among the most reprehensible of crimes against the State. As a matter of fact it is quite possible that the only reason that the PSM scam came to light is because of inter-party personality conflicts with a strong ethnic bias.
I have argued elsewhere that the retention of certain politically aligned persons in senior functionaries in sensitive positions of trust will cause irreparable harm, and will come back to haunt the government at the most inconvenient moment.If the GRA is shown to have been complicit inthe illegal transfers of state assets, then the officer who facilitated such acts must be shown the door and be made to face all applicable sanctions.
On another note I am appreciative of the utterances by the Minister of Public Security but as I stated before he can only do so much when he is forced to rely on the same persons in the same positions doing the samethings to achieve different results in an archaic structure. Some schools of thought refer to that condition as insanity. Maybe Mr. Ramjattan should commission a human resource audit within all entities under his purview to get a sense of who is doing what and how effective and efficiently they are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
The number of permanent secretaries who can be counted on to provide sound technical advice to the current crop of ministers is limited to a few and ministers will be expected to conduct some sort of survey to determine whether some of them should be retained. From where I stand there should be a reshuffling of permanent secretaries or demotion as the case merits. Some of these people have sat idly by and remained silent in the face of the most tyrannical abuse of authority on the part of the former administration. To expect them to suddenly transform themselves into professionals is really asking too much. Some of these people lack the guts to speak up even when the success of progressive initiatives is at stake, but seek refuge in the path of least resistance.
The time has come to separate the wheat from the chaff and reap a harvest of prosperity for this nation.
