Dear Editor,
The PNC’s call for an investigation into Roger Khan’s alleged link with the government is admirable and indeed prudent. Guyana needs to break the shackles of corruption before it can ever make a fresh start, but given the nature of the system such an investigation will be almost impossible under the present government or others like it. Unfortunately the PNC has to take responsibility by admitting to their contribution to the present corrupt environment. It is therefore very unlikely that the Guyanese people will take them seriously in this call.
The PPP for their part, like the PNC before them, have the police and other departments in their clutches and any investigation such as one into the killing of Walter Rodney and others will be stymied in bureaucracy and therefore will produce no positive result. An investigation even by a totally independent source will struggle to produce a convincing conclusion.
Guyana is now what it is, and there is very little that can be done until the people themselves wake up to the reality that those they elect to serve them are the same ones who are strangling their progress.
Roger Khan, like others before him and those yet to come will continue to take advantage of the corruption to build their little empires no matter how fragile they might be.
Yours faithfully,
B A Ramsay
Clearly Roger Khan the drug baron has been linked to two senior govt officials. The King will never call an investigation. The drug barons rally around the govt and themselves, they keep the economy going,
whether the king chooses to call an investigation now or another government does it after 2011 the bottom line is the PPP can only stall for so long.
The day of reckoning is coming, whether they like it or not.
The people of Guyana are fed up with this govt and unlike the last elections where they enjoyed a no show of voters having the lowest level of voting. That is not going to happen in 2011.
The investigation by the US govt is ongoing. That’s the big-dragnet that’s going to take a lot of them down to the point where Guyana could not be more disgraced.
One light at the end of that gloomy tunnel though, the voters may give the AFC a chance to come in and play the real clean-up batter.
We must also call for a detailed inquiry in the Abdul Kadir alleged involvement with terrorists in the US. The Guyanese public need to know if the PNC was making overtures to muslim fundamentalist group for political campaign financing.
Mr. Williams ! The person you cited is on trial in the US. Get a transcript of the court records before you make uninformed statements. Ewwwwww !
SN, it seems as if you have no intention of posting my blog about Dr. Ramsammy’s American citizenship and the fact that opposition groups should lobby for the American government to investigate the allegations in the Roger Khan story about one of its citizens. Hope this bit is OK for you.
Very good Evan ! Maybe the IRS might want a crack at him also. Time’s up.
So sad, but it’s the truth.
Seriously,no.The PNC is never taken seriousy when it speaks.The PNC has a tarnished reputation unrivalled in Guyana to the point of being a total national disgrace.A blight on the nation.A party from Hell.A fraud unto the people.A parasite.Hence, nobody would ever listen to anything they say.Except,losers.
