Minister Ramjattan’s outrageous analogy

Aug 27, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Although you did not publish my last letter on the Brer Anancy stories emanating from top government officials, you still provide readers with a daily dose of outrageous things being said by Ministers. The latest is the comparison of the Cabinet to a cricket team by Minister of Public Security on the drug bond issue. This comparison is certainly nauseating and a sadistic attack on the intelligence of all Guyanese. If we accept the Minister’s views, then we are looking daily at cricket matches played by top Cabinet teams.
As spectators, we cannot expect that the teams will not falter when playing the game. But Cabinet is not a cricket team but the elected representatives of our people, and so they are answerable to us because they are paid to do decent jobs. If they commit wrongs, then they must be drawn over hot coals. After all, we are not spectators but the employers of government officials. Therefore, the Minister should note that if they are competing with the last government for the corruption medal of honor, they will reap their just rewards in the next general elections. Hence, let them continue in their dirty ways, shooting themselves in their feet, eating and drinking their shame, and adding insult to injury. They will soon pay the price and reap their just rewards.
