This a little to late -Donald Duck as this is like trying to close the stables after the horses have bolted.

Even the blind can bear witness and testimony that this is is another sordid attempt at hoodwinking the unsuspecting taxpayers into believing that the Ramotar Administration is serious about rooting out corruption and doing the right thing. We all know only too well that this is another round of spin doctoring from the Chief Harpic Gargler himself.

The regime should begin by requesting or rather demanding that the putrid likes of Brian Tiwarie of BK International and the rest of their surrogates return the billions that they have fleeced from the public treasury over the past two decades with the very shoddy and inferior quality of work ranging from the recent stelling fiasco to the wharf at Charity that floated away back in the late 1990s.

However, John Public is fully cognisant of the fact that this is only pure grandstanding and bluffing from 'El Presidente Estupdio' because after all the entire PPP regime are beholden to their countless croneys and comrades-in-crime within the PPP'S Friends & Family Programme.

The only reason that the Chief Harpic Gargler is making noise is because he is aware that the pressure they are getting from the joint opposition (especially from the fearless AFC) and civil society in the form of the local chapter of Transparency International is becoming patently unbearable so they will resort to any opportunity to whitewash the truth. Expect them to indulge in obeah, vodoo, kali mai, santeria, shango and even some comfah to hide their shortcomings.

The situation at Linden has clearly shown that they are literally dancing on one foot and the people at Linden no longer recognise Ramotar as President of Guyana. He is no longer welcome in Linden and the same applies to all those Uncle Toms at large such as Sam Hinds (known for speaking in the third person), Odinga Lumumba, Kwame McCoy, Robeson Benn.

The people of Linden will not accept a kangaroo commission of inquiry and there must be impartial international commissioners drawn from both the Mandela Centre and the Tutu Centre for Peace as anything less will not be seen as being fair. This is a country where there is no decency left and so if Sunday falls on a Monday - people are expected to go along with the lawlessness, institutionalis ed skullduggery and graft that permeates the entire PPP regime.

We have had enough and it is time for Ramotar and his motley crew started packing their 'Jahaji bundles' and head back to the backdam where they belong.
The PPP is on its last leg!

Errant ministers should too, even worse.

yes I like when the president talk positive, but I wonder if it falling on deaf ears.

This is how the Big Rat used to do Contractor's Business, and now everything pelts out of the Basket and causing Issues.The Big Rat can have Coconuts Trees that is bearing within a Few Days in his Mansion Yard.Donald knows the Real deal,is the Big Rat put him there to function, as to do as i say.

Not only the errant contractors must be banned, Ramotaur, Hinds and the entire errant and corrupt Govt. needs to be banned, enough of the PPP.

Man look. That is just a bunch of bull@#$%. They will never be banned as long as the PPP in power. We all know that. Talk is dirt cheap Ramo.

When will GRA go after tax EVADERS! Never in a million years wll they do so.


The AG is Head of the Ministry of Justice - AG wife is Head of Legal Department of GRA- GRA HEAD is part of PPP family - DPP related to the PPP families - DR SINGH is Minister of Finance- Dr Singh's wife is tied up with Auditor General Office -


So you can now see they have road blocks set up all over the place. This side-show is has nothing to do with Side-walk!

Nigel Hughes - look at these links and consider them!!!! You cannot break these at all since they have ring-fenced themselves securedly!!!

WHAT IS RAMOTAR SAYING :"END TO CORRUPTION"? Very few people in Guyana or abroad reading this news site - about corruption and fraud - will scuff at the rant that the PPP can end corruption - giving the decades of financial misappropriatio n and malpractices.

Corruption has become part of our culture. It is massive and widespread and and only a national campaign will can seriously put an end to this scourge.

Only an Independent Commission of Inquiry will unearth the history of deep-seated corruption - that has become part of our political culture.

Going back to PPP publications - in the 1970's and onward, they unearth many evidences of corruption and corrupt practices - during the rule of the Burnham regime. The root of this evil has plagued our society for more than 40 years. It will not end overnight.

Mr. Ramotar is equality guilty - as General Secretary of the ruling party - the PPP - for not coming out publicly against corruption.

When I saw him at Freedom House - three years ago, we discussed this very issue and the involvement of PPP members and supporters who were involved in corruption and he said that he agree with me that something drastic had to be done. But he did nothing up to today.

The truth is his hands and legs were tied - because a large section of the businessmen financially donated to the PPP and he had to ensure that they get the "pay-back" - they envisaged prior to paying huge donations.

And what about those contractors, party members and supporters, who were given huge contracts and have no qualifications or expertise in the areas of work?

One retired school teacher was given a contract to clean trenches and canals. He had no experience, but yet he profited from corrupt institution propagated by the PPP central office - Freedom House - headed by our good friend, Comrade Donald Ramotar.

Mr, Edghill, the self-professed Bishop, now turned financial "expert" overnight, did not talk about at the so-called training conference - is what connections those people who sit on the Tender panels have with the PPP and how were they recruited to the Panel. What are the complaint procedures and Appeal systems?

There are others questions that must be raised - does the Procurement policies match international standards and what mechanisms are put in place to ensure that after works are completed - the particular job or service is sustainable and does not crumble in a few months.

The nepotism and immoral culture that has developed over the decades will not end - unless strict penalties are put in place to the extent that very heavy fines or long-term jail sentences are prescribed.

Donald knows that the Big Rat Presently have a 'Huge Team of Errant Contractors', what is he Talking about, is he Donald in Sane or shame to say.He Play the PPP Party Gaming with the Big Rat his Massa to Capture the Top Position.
