A life of deception
Dear Editor,
President Granger’s address to the delegates of the PNC Twentieth Biennial Congress included the statement “numerous unpaid liabilities, including court judgments in excess of G$7 B, had to be settled.”
Editor, His Excellency directly caused our nation to be indebted to RUDISA when as Leader of the Opposition, he directed MPs to vote against an amendment to our Environmental Tax law of 1995 which had become discriminatory after the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas came into effect.
The combined Opposition at the time voted against the amendment to the law, which would have seen this matter settled without a cent being paid from our treasury, so for H.E to now say his administration ‘inherited’ this from the PPP is a blatant lie and a sad symptom of his denial of his own irresponsible actions whilst Leader of the Opposition.
Robin Marantz Henig famously said, “The English language has 112 words for deception, according to one count, each with a different shade of meaning: collusion, fakery, malingering, self-deception, confabulation, prevarication, exaggeration, denial.”
Given that BK International was paid $1.8 Billion as settlement based on a demand letter, I would add that H.E Granger is living in a hellish existence of his own creation.
Respectfully,
Robin Singh
