The world has become a small place for the corrupt

Dec 16, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The unusual request for a “Face-to-Face Meeting” with those interested in selling Guyana’s oil and Granger’s minions could be a brazen attempt to foster corruption. Brokers do not need to sit in a room with Ministers to offer and agree on terms. The offer of Bribes and Kickbacks by way of phone, text or otherwise recordable media is foolhardy, and can only be done safely in hushed whispers face-to-face. There can be no other reason for the demand for a meeting with brokers in Guyana. None!
Contrary to local news reports, it was not Bloomberg that broke the news of this attempt at an unusual arrangement, Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, informed the media of this during his weekly press conference on Thursday 12th December 2019. I recognise that the local press is hampered in following up on information provided by the Opposition by the unavailability of anyone in government to ask questions of; if you cannot reach them, you cannot question them. The entire APNU+AFC cabal is mimicking the strategy adopted by David Granger, a perverse game of ‘Hide and Seek’ played on the national stage.
Editor, the representatives of the company that secures this bid should be forewarned that any contract they sign with the Caretaker government is not worth the paper and may indeed be very costly to their reputation and bottom line very shortly. I do not expect any reputable firm to engage in this most unsavoury process outlined by the Granger administration for the sale of three million barrels of profit oil. Guyanese are not without knowledge or means to pursue any firm that engages in any form of corruption. Take warning; the world has become a small place for the corrupt.
The Guyanese populace has been very patient with the prevailing obduracy; it would be foolish to think that this will extend to any attempt to engage in corrupt practice with our national patrimony. On the off-chance that I am wrongly imputing motives, the Head of State needs to demonstrate that he is not a crook or senile and step-in and put a stop to the meetings. The redemptive effect of staving off this blatant attempt at corruption by his minions may well be the salve for his (Granger’s) soul during his remaining years. We are in a period of Advent; Repent!

Respectfully
Robin Singh
