I do not understand

I do not understand how the Guyana Revenue Authority is hoping to encourage fuel smugglers to become legitimate. I do not understand whether there is a plan to grant to these persons licenses to import fuel.
I do not understand how the Guyana Revenue Authority can be worried about the suspected under-invoicing of building materials. I thought the purpose of VAT was intended to remove the incentives which encourage under-invoicing.
I do not understand how the Special Organized Crime Unit which is said to be investigating a gold dealer for suspected money laundering raids the home of one of his associates and takes away jet skis and other motorized vehicles?
I do not understand how it is that a money laundering investigation, which usually concentrates on finding the sources of money, can be concerned with how someone else spends their money.
I don’t understand why a top official of SARU is bothering to engage in exchanges with the Leader of the Opposition as to who is a liar and who should take a lie detector test. I do not understand how professional public officers allow themselves to be drawn into such unprofessional exchanges.
But then again until the passage of the recent BILL creating SARA, the SARU which is supposed to move civilly in recovering states assets, can simply go into a community and seize property on the basis that there was supposed to a sale of the said property which SARU believes belongs to the State.
I do not understand how a nurse who is trying to prevent what she sees as an abuse of the dispensing of certain types of medications, can be transferred from a hospital to a health clinic just after an article about the complaint she had filed with a number of state officials had appeared in the media.
I do not understand how anyone is going to see this as anything less than victimization. I do not understand why no one is doing anything about this nurse. I do not understand why her colleagues have not resorted to industrial action. I do not understand why the community from which she emanates is yet to be on the picket lines denouncing this transfer.
I do not understand why the turnout at the protests against the VAT on private education is so poor considering the thousands of parents and students who are being affected by the tax.
I do not understand why the local health authorities are still linking microcephaly to the Zika virus when that theory is now a hotly contested potato in light of the dramatic decline in both the number of Zika cases as well as the number of babies born with microcephaly.
I do not understand how on the same day two persons died, in separate accidents, after the motorcycles they were riding crashed into stationary vehicles. That is a strange coincidence which not even the superstitious may be able to explain.
I do not understand how some persons are so concerned about the plain kites being given out by Presi when the opposition only giving out them cheap Chinese kite.
I do not understand why a good kite is so expensive in Guyana.
I do not understand if it costing the government more money to undo the vandalism on monuments than it is to build some of those monuments, why the government continues to want to build more monuments.
I do not understand how every time Dem Boys Deh pun a flight, ex Ministers are also on the same flight. Is who is following who around?
