There are sins and sinners in the aviation industry

Nov 16, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
The struggle at the Ogle Aerodrome is not due to greed or preferential treatment or power over the helpless. It is all strategic positioning by one operator over the others for long term benefit should the winds of change blow in Guyana.
One operator decided to play by the rules and positioned himself in which there were no political affiliations, no appearances of illegal activities or compromise of integrity. The other operators played the political games for profit, pushed the envelope on highly questionable activity. Games were played without rules.
Many said and did anything under the guise of an aviation business. Now the winds of change are here in Guyana. The law abiding rises above the rest to bask in the sunshine. And the corrupt struggles to stay relevant as the winds of change blow in our country.
There appears to be a new horizon taking shape in Guyana. Guyanese should encourage this new horizon to eradicate corruption, money laundering, drug smuggling and drug dealing.
The people of Guyana wherever they are expect to see this. The winds of change are blowing all over Guyana.
They take in the aviation industry too industry; only the law abiding will survive. No more handouts from the Government, eradication of kickbacks, non- traditional financing etc. The AML Bill is now signed with the DEA Office to open in Guyana by January 1, 2016.
Let us see who ends up surviving the storms and the same winds blew right in the direction of Captain Khemraj Lall’s and money etc. Lights will now shine on the aviation industry. Many aviation operators known for past sins will be jittery.
Now that they have to run a real business without the ‘accustomed trimmings.’ Let us sit back and watch the fight over the scraps. It will get worse…before the law abiding rise from the ashes as the playing field is leveled for all to play by the rules.
