Is City Hall a Mafiosi den?

Mar 03, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,
No one should be surprised, not even the motion mover and seconder, by the recent and alarming declaration made by a senior politician and Georgetown City Councillor, who said that an Alliance For Change (AFC)-sponsored no-confidence motion against Town Clerk of Georgetown is likely to be defeated because A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Councillors were not properly consulted.
I have not heard such utter nonsense muttered by someone who ought to know better in a long time. Did the AFC and APNU not enter the Georgetown Municipality as a coalition party? Why the differentiation now?
Is this political elder and rabble rouser saying that his party members who are Councillors are unable to vote with their consciences but rather are shackled to toeing the purported party line, at the expense of the city and its citizens?
Come on, this is 2018 not the 1960s. But the question to be asked is whether his declaration was made purely out of self- interest?
In the interest of awareness and understanding by our readers of what obtains at City Hall and how immoral they are there, it should be noted that both gentlemen, the subject of the no confidence motion and the Councillor who is advocating that the motion be defeated due to him and his colleagues not being properly consulted, are both members of the notorious ‘Fantastic Four’ or ‘Fabulous Four’ gang which has now become the ‘Terrible Trio’ or the ‘Terrific Triumvirate’ gang with the recent demise of one of their cohorts.
Let’s face it, whistleblowers are hardly lining up to rat out the mob. Not members of the clan, not ex-mafiosi with a bone to pick, not victims of extortion rackets. Why? Because of the ancient tradition of omertà, the unwritten code of honor that you’ll never utter a word about the Family, or expect retaliation. Fear has kept organized crime a flourishing industry for decades.
And everyone knows that The Georgetown City Council over the last two and a half to three years has become a gangster’s paradise.
This brings us to the question that has been asked for years now by members of the legal fraternity and that is whether you encourage someone to kill, whether you are guilty of murder?
In the interest of the Town Clerk not being given a “Get out of Jail Free’ card by some politicians for reasons best known to them in spite of all of the well known offenses that he has committed and which are prudently enunciated in the motion, I ask that all Councillors do as John Quincy Adams once said and that is “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
Best regards.
Sambu Jacobus
