Why not an investigation into the collapse of Globe Trust?

Dear Editor,

The year 2016, will be remembered for the BoIs and CoIs: Dr Walter Rodney, mining accidents, allegations against CANU members, incarceration of a ten-year-old ‒ you name it, there is always the likelihood that one or another maybe commissioned for any event, including those which may have occurred decades ago.

But there has been no call for a BoI or CoI into an event which seriously impacted on the financial lives of thousands of Afro-Guyanese, involving the loss of millions of dollars. The circumstances surrounding the liquidation of the Globe Trust and Investment Company Limited are also deserving of an inquiry. Former members of the Board of Directors, managers, debtors, and the Bank of Guyana are still around.

Yours faithfully,
CS Vaughn
