Dear Editor,
I am frustrated when I hear officials express surprise about complaints or call them hearsay. Traffic Chief Neil Semple said persons claiming knowledge of corrupt practices must come forward and offer details and they would take action. Enough hearsay should lead to some form of investigation. He or an undercover cop could quickly find evidence if they tried hard enough. The real problem is that there is no independent unit in Guyana capable of investigating corruption in the security forces and some other governmental areas. Police should not investigate police, nor should such an investigative unit be under the police authority.
Yours faithfully,
