Coverups, protections, and other official rackets at Local Government, elsewhere

Jun 22, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Permit me space to address a rather pressing issue that was seemingly swept under the carpet by the authorities and Minister of the Local Government Commission.

I am aware that my story was just one among many that graced the pages of your newspaper over the past two years about the inappropriate  behaviour of a particular manager to female staff at the Local Government  Commission, and the many calls for the Honourable Nigel Dharmlall to intervene. Yet nothing was done.

There has since been many questions internally, as I reflect on these very serious allegations against the Minister and the parallel of why the person within the Commission that he overlooks was / has and is still being protected? Should I assume that because this is /was a looking at myself in the mirror situation that no punitive action or investigation was undertaken or could it be a case of” protecting those who are like me”?

Whatever it is, the allegations are damning and needs to be addressed now. Further, I wish to ask  both the Cabinet  members and Opposition  to put whatever political egos they carry aside and work together towards the protection of those  vulnerable  be it in the remote  villages  or busy work spaces. As I conclude, there is one question I’d like to ask everyone who comes into contact  with predators: would you feel comfortable  trusting such men / women around your children? I think not.

Yours respectfully,

Troubled citizen
