There are more questions than answers about the dealings of the PPP govt.

Nov 22, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I just read a letter to your newspaper penned by one Mr. Vishnu Bisram. Mr. Bisram was berating your newspaper for peddling falsehoods about the ownership of EZjet – an airline that has been receiving adverse publicity in the media recently.
I was reading the letter which seemed quite innocuous when my eyes almost jumped out of my head at the following statement:
“If the airline were owned by government officials, it would have received the full backing of the government.”
I am not sure Vishnu Bisram re-read his letter or whether he realized what he had written.  Having left Guyana many years ago, I do not even know what place Mr. Bisram holds within the government, if at all. But it is quite obvious that he is an ardent supporter of the PPP cabal, as evidenced by his decision to come out to bat for the former President and one of his cronies.  There, in unequivocal and unambiguous language, Vishnu Bisram indicated that if EZjet was owned by government officials, it would have received the “full backing” of the government.  What a statement! Is this the reason why we see the government giving its full backing to the Marriott Hotel project, the Amalia Falls project, the Airport project and the many other nefarious schemes being used by the government to squander poor people’s tax dollars?
How do we know who are the “real” owners of many of these projects?  Who will own the casino and restaurant at the Marriott? Who is getting kickbacks from the airport project? Why did senior government officials so foolishly and arrogantly bulldoze their way into getting the Amalia Falls project for Fip Motilall despite information indicating that the man did not have the requisite experience to undertake such a project?
There are more questions than answers about the dealings of the PPP government. What a revelation, Mr. Bisram.  Keep writing.  We need to learn more about the shady characters in government.
