Guyana’s expected large spending from oil proceeds brings the propensity for corruption, former speaker of the National Assembly Ralph Ramkarran has warned and he is advising the government to act swiftly on safeguard recommendations given by international agencies, civil society and watchdog bodies.
Ramkarran, who said that being sidelined and abused by the PPP/C for being vocal on anti-corruption measures needed in 2012 forced him to leave the party, is pleading with the government to not ignore criticisms of alleged corruption. He urged too that people complaining not be victimized but that the government does introspection and seeks to have anti-corruption measures implemented.
