Zero tolerance for corruption?

Jun 24, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

The recent uproar involving His Excellency and Vice’s attempt to entrap him in a scandal is hypocritical at best. His Excellency has faithfully served our Nation for decades and if there is wrong doing, journalistic research and good investigative journalism would have exposed it by now. The hand behind Vice’s attempt to tarnish one of our country’s Presidents must be exposed. For the opposition to call for His Excellency’s resignation without clear evidence of wrong doing, while leaders within the APNU + AFC have not been held accountable for actions that have shown clearly the abuse of public office, brings into question the integrity of their parties. Why are leaders of the opposition not purging their list of representatives of those who have been reported for taking bribes? Why haven’t they carried out a full investigation?
If there is a call for integrity, honesty and zero tolerance for corruption, then a good house cleaning must occur. No public official is above the law, and CRG fully supports a zero-tolerance policy on corruption. If our Parliament is serious on this issue, then they must enable and empower the judicial system to carry out this work no matter who is involved. The judicial system must be independent and strong enough that not even His Excellency L.F.S. Burnham would be able to circumvent being held accountable for the abuse of public office.

Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative Republicans of Guyana
