Dear Editor,
I am a member of the Public Accounts Committee of the Guyana Parliament (PAC). It will be recorded in the Hansard of that committee that I have never been satisfied with the work of acting Auditor General Sharma. In fact, an examination of his 2004 audit when compared to the highly respected Goolsarran audit of 2003 shows a country which has miraculously recovered from numerous procedural, administrative and financial improprieties in the various government departments.
I have made this known to the committee in Mr Sharma’s presence on numerous occasions, and on one occasion he even walked out of a Public Accounts Com-mittee meeting in objection to my accusations, and Ms Bibi Shadick, MP, a member of the PAC had to go outside and persuade him to return.
