Compromised integrity makes politicians susceptible to external control

Jan 10, 2026 Letters

Dear Editor,

Rice farmers who put paddy out to dry worry about rain. Similarly, politicians who have been involved in corruption worry with sleepless nights about being caught and punitive reaction from Washington.

Large companies are known to give inducements and incentives to rulers to get advantageous contracts for resources; they are compromised. We have seen in Guyana that politicians, government officials, have turned national assets into private wealth. The evidence is glaring. Uncle Sam has them under control. They have to cooperate or else.

Several politicians were sanctioned and or suffered visa revocations. Diplomatic immunity has saved a few from sanctions, indictment, and request for extradition. They fear their future and are willing to do anything for Uncle Sam to avoid sanction, indictment, and extradition to USA. Compromised integrity leaves Guyana susceptible to external leverage. Powerful nations are able to achieve their goals at the expense of small nations because of compromised integrity of leadership.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Transparency International explain how compromised integrity of rulers, through systemic corruption, in countries creates vulnerabilities that powerful nations like USA exploit to get whatever it wants from corrupt rulers. The powerful nation tends to show evidence of corruption or compromised integrity to the rulers, giving them an option – cooperate with us or face grand jury indictment and extradition to USA. The compromised rulers become beholden to and serve powerful foreign interests instead of the national interests and the peoples’ interests. The powerful nation uses threats on rulers to influence policy and control resources.

Once integrity of rulers is compromised, you have to cry “Uncle” to get a break. If you don’t agree to cooperate with Uncle Sam, you will suffer the same faith as the Mohamed’s. Remember the Curacao gold shipment, Uncle Su, Canada visa cancellation, confiscation of boat and properties in Florida, seizure of huge amounts of cash in New York that was to purchase property for son of a Minister, unexplained wealth used to purchase properties in Florida, visa revocation in Miami, pulling over and questioning a prominent businessman close to leaders and seizure of his phone at JFK? Who were involved? Do you need more hint? Guyana has to do what Uncle Sam says and what big companies want.

Yours truly,
Feroze Mohamed
