Extensive evidence of institutionalised corruption in Guyana

Aug 13, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor

As I stated earlier, I add my voice to the call for an international investigation into corruption in Guyana involving the current Vice President Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo with regard to the Vice News Report by the Leader of the Opposition and the PNC-R Guyana, Mr. Aubrey Norton.

I also support Mr. Aubrey Norton’s refusal to shake the hands of the President of Guyana, Mr. Irfaan Ali, who, in my view, is a puppet installed by Jagdeo, the defacto President of Guyana just like Mr. Ali’s predecessor, Mr. Donald Ramotar. I condemn unequivocally the charge of ethnic discrimination against African Guyanese by Mr. Norton against the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government of Guyana as groundless and encourage Mr. Norton to provide the evidence in the public domain barring political conventional appointments.

It is my view that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic under all its leaders have never practiced ethnic discrimination against African Guyanese and the PNC-R Guyana has been silent and inert in their response to the multiple massacres, rapes, mayhem and violence committed against Guyanese families of East Indian descent. The auditor General of Guyana in a Kaieteur article, Mr. Deodat Sharma, said: The Auditor General in an interview with this newspaper yesterday said that he does have the power to probe public officials involved in illegal matters where State assets are concerned, but they must make a written request to have the office look into the matter.

Such idiocy does not merit a response and I wish to comment on a friend of mine, Mr. Vassan Ramracha who penned a letter to Kaieteur News repudiating Mr. Frederick Kissoon’s refusal to appear on 24 x 7 panel and castigating the Kaieteur News columnist tirade against overseas-based Guyanese as a part of the diaspora not qualified to discuss Guyanese affairs. Mr. Ramracha’s argument breaks down completely and exposes the lack of credibility on the resonating silence of Drs. Baytoram Ramharack and Vishnu Bisram etal on the astounding evidence of corruption involving Mr. Bharat Jagdeo and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic and the call for an international investigation within the realm of the application of the rule of law.

What Mr. Kissoon may be alluding to that I endorse unequivocally that many here in the borders outside of Guyana may practice politicking in their annual vacations, spare time and in their vocation is not the same as those of us, myself included, who suffered under both the PNC-R Guyana and the People’s Progressive Party/Civic who understand and felt in our moments of despair and deep agony what tyranny is. Living here in Canada and the United States and part time politicking is not tyranny.

And the outcome of the 2020 Guyana national elections: the individuals, like Dr. Baytoram Ramharack, who served as hosts during that five months ordeal did not live in Guyana but were very effective in exposing the fraud resulting in a declaration of the outcome that expressed the democratic will of the voters. The 2020 national elections in Guyana was decided when the Secretary of State, Mr. Mike Pompeo under direct instructions from the then President, Mr. Donald Trump, visited Guyana in September 2020 and importantly, the threat of sanctions with its powerful implications that caused the PNC-R Guyana to walk away from their attempt to manipulate the results of that election.
