Political leaders, parties and administrations which use authoritarian methods of governance and in other instances violate the rule of law, do not want accountability and and transparency.
It is for this reason that the administration has failed, so far, to establish the Procurement Commission, pass the Freedom of Informatiom Bill, Broadcasting legislation, strenghten the judiciary, Proffessionalise the Police Force etc.

Jagdesh… really now, do you think this regime hires based on qualifications!!!
It’s all about parachuting persons based on loyalty to the party.
No chance of that happening!

Guyana needs an auditor general who is experienced and qualified. He should possess a MBA (Masters of Business Administration wit a public accounting major). In addition, he should possess a CPA or CFE credential.

He should have many years of governmental experience in auditing . He should posess those qualities that makes him honourable and respectful by his peers.

Good Luck to your choice.

Andy – Exactly my point boy-cutting a Regional National Event does not expose the Govt’s lack of Good Governance and political inclusion in the decision making process.

Jadgeo is no different from any other President or Prime Minister whose ego is his/her weakness, so use the legal process and the FREE Media to expose and objectively criticise the failures of the Govt. and its lack of transparancy and Public Accountability.

That’s why this PPP regime does not want a freedom of information act.
They will continue to drag their feet and keep things away from the people.
This regime loves the status quo where they don’t have to account for anything and the people are kept in the dark, and none the wiser.
This is democracy PPP style.

No one knows whether there is an actual behind-the-scenes working relationship between Jagdeo and Corbin (not necessarily the PPP and PNC), but the PNC has to aggressively step up its game against the PPP government if the PNC is to avoid continued being viewed by the people as politically irrelevant to the process of transparency and accountability in government.

Keep itself visible through press briefings and well researched and prepared statements that highlight areas of deficiency in the PPP’s handling of government.

Information is the PNC’s number one ammunition against the PPP. Just look at the President’s description of the Guyana Press Association as the new political opposition to understand how much ‘information’ in the form of news has bothered him. He is worried about his image, which has taken a battering because ‘information’ about his government’s failure has resonated at home and abroad.
