| Corruption is said to be a disease that eats away at the confidence, a people have in their Government, and while the government isn’t denying the outright existence of corruption in Guyana, it is questioning the motivation behind those on the ‘corruption crusade bandwagon.’This was expanded on by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon during a post Cabinet Press briefing at Office of the President, yesterday morning.Head of State Donald Ramotar takes a swipe at the corruption crusadersHe was speaking mere hours after Head of State Donald Ramotar sought to castigate those whom he says label every project being undertaken by Government in its developmental drive,Wholesale Jerseys, as being tainted by corruption.Ramotar’s comments were made at the opening ceremony of the Third Annual International Building Exposition, being held at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.Hundreds packed the tarmac of the National Stadium to listen to the President launch the Expo.Ramotar as he delivered his verbal vitriol said that “There seems to be a mentality created to try to criticize projects that can transform our country and bring a better standard of living for our people”He said that “there seems to be a crusade, a direct attack and a crusade to taint everything with corruption to say everything is corrupt.”Ramotar cautioned that, “we cannot live with such negative feeling around us…We must be determined to push ahead.”His official spokesman in the person of Dr. Roger Luncheon, during his press briefing yesterday at Office of the President was hit with a direct question on whether there is any corruption in Guyana.“I can’t believe that you could seriously be asking if corruption exists…I think there is sufficient evidence,” was the response of Dr. Luncheon.After conceding the existence of corruption in Guyana, Dr. Luncheon said that what the administration has been focusing on recently “is what is behind the crusade.”He told media operatives that there is talk of domestic violence and while no one questions its existence there is also none questioning the administration’s emphasis on the issue.Dr. Luncheon emphasized that in the current discourse on corruption the administration is seeking to emphasize to the Guyanese what is behind the crusade.He said that they were seeking to address the anti-government machinations.Dr. Luncheon says that there are those that are seeking to imply that there is something significantly wrong with Government, its developmental thrust and its implementation of its strategies.“That is what we are bringing to the attention of the Guyanese people…We are pointing to the major projects and asking what is the intent in crusading against these projects.”The most recent voice to be added to call against corruption in Guyana is that of Senior Counsel Ralph Ramkarran.His comments against corruption in Guyana attracted the ire of some people in the ruling party.Up until his resignation he was one of the most senior functionaries of the ruling Peoples Progressive Party and a member of its Central Executive Committee. |
