Waiting to see how this fight will end

Dear Editor,
Looking through the morning newspapers on Sunday, I came across an interesting story from the PPP complaining that the Coalition Government is not really interested in finding out the truth about corruption in recent decades but was more concerned with spiting ex-cabinet ministers and high ranking officials for alleged corruption.  Editor, nothing could be further from the truth as it is widely known that every conceivable public infrastructure and other project during the 23 years of that Party in office was publicly identified as being the dollar gift that kept on giving millions to those in charge.
But more importantly Mr. Editor might be the fact that Parliament is about to debate and possibly approve the SARU bill. No doubt this has sent jitters among the ranks of those at Freedom House who are comfortably living on the proceeds of the fat made while in office. SOCU is also doing its thing and has the benefit of the legal advice of none other than Madam Justice Claudette Singh SC in its corner. Readers would recall that the PPP made no real attempt to pay its Ministers big fat salaries as they appeared to be more concerned with simply having access to the corridors of power since all that could flow from same.
Still, a protracted court fight looms and it would be interesting to see the reaction of the Party if and when the first ex-high ranking official is handcuffed and paraded up the steps of any court. The Party has said that “if and when the charges come, they will be strenuously defended.” A very interesting period looms. We shall see how all this ends.
