Who were the Clico investors who were paid with money realized from NBS’s acquisition of shares in the Berbice Bridge Co?

Dear Editor,

Agriculture Minister, PPP Central Committee member and Donald Ramotar‘s Campaign Manager Robert Persaud, is reported as issuing a statement denouncing what he says was the ongoing campaign of the opposition parties heading into this month`s general elections to pin corruption to the PPP/C. He goes on to say that the APNU and the AFC have been “creating the impression that we are, as a government and as a party, tolerating corruption at various levels.”

The society has seen for itself the rampant corruption and wanton plundering of state resources by this administration and the electorate will soon pronounce its verdict on Mr Persaud and his candidate. If Mr Persaud and the candidate he is promoting want to be taken seriously on this disclaimer then I urge him to ‘facilitate‘ and make public the information on Clico investors who were paid off with money realised from the New Building Society`s acquisition of Clico’s shares in the Berbice Bridge Co. NBS chairman, Dr N K Gopaul is the Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President and Clico’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms Geeta Singh Knights is a colleague of Mr Ramotar as a Director of GuySuCo, and I mention that to demonstrate the common links.

While he is at it there is one other question I wish to put to Mr Robert Persaud, namely, the name of the institution from which he obtained his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

I will reserve my comments and opinion of Mr Persaud until I receive his answers. I urge him though not to beat around the bush, but to provide straight answers.
Yours faithfully,
George Bulkan
