DEAR EDITOR,
You got to laugh or start pulling out your hair when the Opposition claims the Government is corrupt and the Government claims the Opposition is corrupt when in fact they both have their elements of corruption, so tackling corruption, corruption becomes a bit of a game for them.
If everyone is serious about tackling corruption then much more needs to be done other than the occasional news story.
Corruption seems to be part and parcel of the Guyanese way of life. It seems to have been happening for so long that it has become INSTITUTIONALIZED.
While there is corruption in every country, in many country it is frowned upon and dealt with.
In Guyana, it seems to be the accepted norm with the prevailing excuse that “we are a poor country”.
Because it is so widespread, where do you begin to tackle it? From the top or everywhere?
Saying corruption, corruption and PROVING corruption are two different things.
Yours faithfully
Sean Ori
