A thorough investigation is needed

Feb 11, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

On Tuesday (8th February) a minibus returning to Fairview Indigenous village in Region 8 was stopped by the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit stationed at Lethem and a search was carried out which unearthed 100 cases of Brazilian beers, 4 cases of whiskey and 1 case of Blackstone. The said items were seized and the owner who was on the bus at the time was informed by the agents that in order for the beverages to be released, special favours would have to be granted to them.
On Wednesday, 9th February, persons familiar with the case approached the Customs (Head Office) in Lethem to get an update on the case and pay the necessary taxes (if any) for the release of the liquors seized but was told that no records of the seizure was reported to them.
In recent times, there have been reports of citizens’ rights in Lethem being violated including physical violence. In light of this, we are calling for a thorough investigation into this matter and the necessary action taken to weed out corrupt persons working in Government Agencies and Offices.

Yours faithfully,
Citizen
