Where is the moral compass?

Dear Editor,

I am sorry to come over as Freddie, but where is Guyana’s moral compass? Has it been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean?

Six disparate events in the last six months – a Minister who accepts birthday gifts from public bodies, ‘forgets’ about them, denies then admits them; another Minister who nominates the birthday ‘gift’ she wants to be given; a senior official who allegedly gets a flat pack barber shop from the state, a senior office holder who buys himself a present-at public expense-for ‘International Men’s Day’.

The burglary of the body responsible for police promotions and a President who clings by his fingertips to power for five months after losing a democratic election…shoved off the ledge by the US Secretary of State.

You could not make it up; you have no need to.

All are real.

Send in the divers for that compass. Soon.

Yours faithfully,

John ‘Bill Cotton/Reform’ Mair
