Once it’s the property of the Guyanese people, we want it back
Thursday, 15 December 2011
Dear Editor,
(KN) 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.
