Dear Editor,
What irony. I read Nadira Jagan’s’ recent ‘scolding’ of the PPP/C. When she stated that “Their (her parents) lives were involved in politics so their time for me and my brother was very limited…”, something clicked into place. Those triple (very, very, very) high moral standards seemed to be lost, to a certain extent, on her sibling.
I remembered my own experience of the “corruption” in his dental surgery in the 1990s,that she now accuses party members of and seems to despise so much.
Of course, ”her parents must be churning up in the waters of the rivers (in which their ashes were sprinkled)”. I think Janet Jagan must have been a very embarrassed, disappointed, sorrowful mother when the antics came to light – the envisaged ‘dynasty’ was imperilled.
Nadira’s is a case of ‘the mote in your eye and the beam in your brother’s’. I guess many of her hearers might have been thinking the same.
The days of law and order are well and truly over – for many former colonies. In 1966, when an Anglo-Indian work colleague told me about the amount of bribes she had to pay public servants at every level to get her immigration documents processed, I was appalled and told her so.
I said that would never happen in my homeland. I really needed to ‘polish my crystal ball’ then.
