Successive governments the past 40 years have been the same

May 15, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I believe Nandlall is throwing a baby tantrum – trying to justify the fact that he misappropriated the laws books – by trivializing the cost.
What he fails to realize is that an illegal act of this kind lends to the accusation of fraud or that you stole. Irrespective if it is a pencil or millions of dollars; these are the properties of the people of Guyana and he should be held accountable for his action. Payback is not always fun.
One would hope that he would have had some kind of training in Ethics and as a result, would have rejected the president for authorizing that he be given state assets, or he himself should have realized that this was wrong. I recall one of the condemnations of Burnham was that he was a “good man”, but he hired party loyalists. Was the coined flipped? Were the PPP ministers “good men” and the president incompetent?
Would this material not have been better placed in a library where students and members of the public could also have accessed it? I guess in his zeal to do things “my way”, he lost sight of the fact that he was abusing his position.
As the facts are emerging, this seems to have been a theme with the PPP. As the son of a sugar worker, this boils my blood knowing that the PPP and their cronies have been living the high life, while sucking the blood out of the sugar workers and the industry thus destroying our future in the process.
With respect to the rest of his letter on the law book charge; I have this to say: Unfortunately, we are caught in a vicious cycle where successive governments justify their corruption and incompetence by citing bigger corruptions and incompetence of the previous governments. Guyana has not changed over the past 40 years.
