DEAR EDITOR,
I would have done an injustice to my fellow veterans and ardent readers of your column, had I failed to respond to a letter written by a retired Major C S Vaughn, captioned “The PNCR vociferous about CLICO, but silent on Globe Trust”.
In the bosom of my missive you will observe that I use the name Sylvester which is the name of the writer. Mankind does not surprise me as in this case, it is the writer’s democratic right to rant and rail, but he has to be truthful and accurate and not allow bitterness to engulf him.
Sylvester attempts to compare the debacle which occurred at Globe Trust with what occurred at CLICO. These two situations are incomparable, and I hope the writer is awakened from his slumber.
In the CLICO situation the Government high-handedly, through its agents, invested Guyanese savings without the consent of policy holders – a behavioral pattern of this regime. Sylvester has conveniently failed to mention the numerous investments CLICO has undertaken at the expense and detriment of Guyanese.
It boggles my mind as to where Sylvester Vaughn lives, at least not in Guyana . The writer has the gall to mention the former President as someone who he sees as caring and truthful in his uttering.
Sylvester’s assault on the PNCR and its Leader, is unfair and unwarranted. Many persons have suffered losses through Globe Trust, but countless individuals continue to be haunted by the autocratic handling of CLICO’s catastrophe.
May I inform the writer that there are those who were, and are gleeful of Globe Trust’s misfortune .Sylvester should occupy space in this column to expose corruption by those white collar criminals in this Government, instead of pleading for sympathy from those criminals.
I can only suggest that the tone of Sylvester’s diatribe suggests that he wishes to be in the company of the clique of spineless at OP.
Sylvester claims that he is accused of being anti-black. This is hard to believe and far from the truth. The attention the writer hopes to attract with his fallacious tale would not be given a thought by those individuals. Probably if the writer was around long enough to know the culture of those persons, he would not have spent his retirement lost in a world of illusions.
