PPP/C Gov’t leaders trying to block exposures

Kaieteur News-The PPP/C Government is in serious trouble.  There is one man in the party and government who knows this more than every other Guyanese.  It is the party General Secretary and Vice President of Guyana, Bharrat Jagdeo.  He tries hard to coverup the corruptions in the government, but the corruptions are so bad, so now out of control now, that they blow up in his face.  The harder he tries to suppress the widespread realities of PPP/C Government corruptions, the quicker and bigger his failures.

“Even the Vice President called me that he hear (sic) that I am criticising what the government is doing. I don’t have to praise nobody if something is not going right. My objective here is to help people…the Vice President called and said he heard, this is what he told me, he heard that I bad talk the government, so he nah want nobody criticise nobody, and I’m not gonna take that, because the poor people are the ones who are suffering…for all the years, I am here – 25 plus years when I was with AFC, I defend the poor people and I am for the working class, so as a result of all these factors I talk about, the roads and everything, I think I had enough of everything.”

 The words are those of Region Six Rapid Response Taskforce Coordinator, Dr. Veerasammy Ramayya.  They confirm many disturbing things.  First, Dr. Ramayya is a decades-long veteran in Guyana’s political circles.  He has seen corruption, and he knows corruption, from the routine thieveries from the local treasury, to the various schemes, to the chronic skullduggeries.  In aggregate, a drain on the expectations of poor Guyanese, what drags them down.  Due to his extended experience in political life in Guyana, he knows from closeup experience, how bad local corruption can be.  Yet, here is this observant Guyanese saying in public that he has never seen corruption so bad.

According to Dr. Ramayya, corruption is at its peak (the worst ever) under the present PPP/C Government.  This must be unimaginable to most Guyanese.  Other than those guzzling of the riches at the public trough, this is now past unacceptable to all other Guyanese.  When comrades and cronies of the PPP/C Government enrich themselves from a million or a billion (it is more of the latter when added), it means that the poor in Guyana are forced to live on much less.  What should be coming to them is devoured by greedy and crooked operators at all levels in the PPP/C Government.  That is a fitting summary of the magnitude of corruption by PPP/C Government hands, and the damage that such inflicts on the have nots in Guyana.

This is the background that prompted both President Ali and Vice President Jagdeo to reach out to Dr. Ramayya.  It was not so much to get to the bottom of who in the PPP/C Government is involved, and how acute the situation is.  It was a strong effort by both leaders to get Dr. Ramayya to shut up.  Instead of the two major leaders in the PPP/C Government being interested in cleaning up the corruption mess, they are seemingly more interested in the public relations aspects of Ramayya’s public exposure.  Another thing that Ramayya revealed was that Jagdeo doesn’t want to hear any criticism of the government’s weakness, the long underbelly of dirty dealings by its own people.  When both the president and vice president should be focused on the message and what they have to do to correct, they are more agitated at the daring of the messenger.

A daring messenger, especially an insider who knows the way things are (very crooked, mostly corrupt), is the most unwelcomed of presences to a government gutted by corruption.  Because the Region Six Rapid Response Taskforce Coordinator enlightened citizens about the state of the police and public health facilities for patients, among other things, he rocked Ali’s and Jagdeo’s boat.  Because they don’t want such truths to get out, they rushed out to get Ramayya to stop.  This is the real government, and the serious leaders who claim to be about clean governance.  They show up to shutdown talk about PPP/C Government corruptions.
