Dear EDITOR,
It is expected that our elected officials and those in high offices behave in a certain manner that is acceptable to all.
One doesn’t expect a minister to whip out his gun and shoot up in the air, or for a top official to be cursing loudly in the full hearing of citizens. They are supposed to represent and protect the interests of all citizens.
Gone are the days when public officials believed that they could act like they are above the law.
It is a fact now that with smartphones, the eyes of the public are always open.
It is in this vein that I am asking our goodly Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, to look into the prevalence of police and other public officials making frequent visits to a casino and even gambling dens in the city.
While as private citizens, our public officials have the right to live to their choosing; it would cross to the public arena when that behaviour becomes questionable.
For example, would it be considered bad for a minister to be visiting, in a covert manner, a known gambling den? Or would a senior cop who visits a casino frequently, raise eyebrows?
How much money is being gambled during those visits? Is it consistent with the persons’ salaries?
If a minister is visiting the casino and it is known that he is gambling more than his salary, then surely there is a problem. I am asking this for my neighbour.
A curious whistleblower
