Dear Editor,
Chartered Accountant Christopher Ram, to the surprise of no one, was true to form, trying to embellish his non-partisan credentials by attempting to ‘chair’ a large gathering of 25 persons at a so-called civil society meeting at City Hall last week.
He lost all claims to being non-partisan by being a co-author of the manifesto of the People’s National Congress Reform for the 2006 general elections. He has not disavowed his connections with that party and cannot pretend he is a member of civil society which by definition and practice is supposed to be above partisan politics.
This means that the work done by his accounting firm now has to be seen in a new light, since he may be able to alter his assessments based on his political affiliations.
One wonders what will now happen with his firm’s affiliation with the Ernst and Young company?
If Ram felt so strongly about justice as he claimed at the ‘civil society’ forum at City Hall, he would not have prevented the some 3,000 small depositors of the Globe Trust and Investment Company Limited (GTICL) from getting their money back when it was being liquidated in 2002. After the Government of Guyana sought liquidation of Globe Trust, Ram, representing the directors in the court case, blocked liquidating the firm, thereby frustrating payments to the depositors.
So how can he now pretend he is a fighter for justice?
