Dear Editor,
Now that the elections are over and life is getting back to normal, it is time for us to examine the way forward.
All the parties in their campaign spoke out about corruption, including the PPP. We wait to see who will walk the walk.
The AFC has made it clear that it wants to examine corrupt deals and transactions.
This is most welcomed, as those guilty of raping the treasury must be made to pay.
We await to see what the PPP will do as regards perceived under-the-table deals such as the Amaila Falls hydro project, the Marriott, the concession to an Indian furniture manufacturer, and all those shady contracts and other issues such as the supply of computers, the building of one stelling several times, mansions in Pradoville, containers of building materials in State House, concessions to mining and logging companies, Sanata Complex, CLICO and the Berbice Bridge…. the list is long.
I hope that the combined opposition is relentless in their pursuits of having these ventures properly examined, and I hope that the PPP will co-operate, for this is the time to walk the walk. This is where Ramotar gets to demonstrate that he is serious about corruption, and also to show what he is made of.
It may be his only chance, because I suspect if the PPP doesn’t agree to facilitate such investigations, then a vote of no confidence is inevitable.
Going back to the polls because of the failure to examine these transactions can only be disastrous for the PPP, as this is perhaps the reason why they have not gotten a majority in the first place.
The second time around they may not even have the presidency and then Camp St. will be overflowing for sure.
The Guyanese people are waiting and watching, times are changing, and the power of the people is slowly coming to the fore.
The days of arrogance and disrespect are gradually going by and it is becoming clear that no party has a monopoly over the people anymore.
So let’s get down to business; let’s get a good team of investigators who can track all the ill-gotten gains wherever in the world they may be stashed, no matter who’s name they may be under. Once it’s the property of the Guyanese people, we want it back.
