When will Guyana make an example of Jadgeo?

Sep 23, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor:

Thank you for allowing me the space in your excellent newspaper Kaieteur News to share my view on the above topic.
There is hardly ever a time I read some ridiculous pronouncement by Jadgeo that it does not leave me angry at the temerity of this former President who possesses the gall to aspire once again to that office come 2020. The shenanigans of this excuse as it relates to the SOCU probe of Pradoville 2 is reminiscent of the 2002 Steven Spielberg autobiographical film, “Catch me if you can” with Leonard De Caprio in the lead. He played a slice of the life of Frank Abagnale jr, a convicted felon who was finally caught and jailed in three different countries including the U.S for bank robbery, impersonating an Airline Pilot, a Doctor, a Lawyer and a skilled forger all before his twentieth birthday.
Jadgeo has become so bold that he is thumbing his nose at the efforts of Law Enforcement to uncover his glaring illegalities in relation to his exclusive enclave Pradoville 2. He now feels and acts totally and completely above the law and should, and must be made an example of what not to do when in high office and a caretaker of the people’s business. This man and his band acted as if the resources of Guyana were their own. Meanwhile, the country was going to hell in a breadbasket and the struggling poor got poorer while he and his cronies acquired more money than God.
I have never been, nor will I ever be a fan or supporter of Trump, but I must echo his characterization of countries like ours if Jadgeo is allowed to keep “pampazetting” to use a good old Guyanese phrase. This excuse being free sends a very troubling message not only to locals, but to the rest of the world, particularly those who are lining up to do business with Guyana. And that message? “We can do them just about anything and get away with it”.
Exxon seems to have deciphered that message and is laughing all the way to the bank. Next in line, the Chinese for their lion’s share of our pie! Wake up Guyana, please!
