Dear Editor,
In reference to your news article, ‘Private sector criticizes Region 10 Chairman for objecting to presence at Linden talks,‘ (August 2), I am tempted to ‘go rogue’ on the PSC, which has suddenly found its voice after almost a decade of deafening silence as corruption ran amok during the period of the Jagdeo regime – a regime which appeared to have exerted unusual influence over the organization.
