Dear Editor,
IT appears that Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo is in a world all by himself. I came to this conclusion while watching local television news this week. I heard Mr. Jagdeo alleging political witch-hunting against the leadership of his party.

To be fully transparent, I am an avowed supporter of the Coalition, so it is no surprise that I am able to quickly and contextually recall some of the massive problems the PPP has left the current administration with and by extension, Guyanese taxpayers.

I recall the CCJ’s judgement in favour of SM Jaleel and Company, which I learned, owns Guyana Beverage Inc. This current government was recently ordered by the CCJ to pay this company more than six million American dollars for an unfair environmental tax that the PPP had imposed on it during its time.

The fiasco with lands owned by Toolise Persaud Limited, but taken away again by the PPP and sold to Movie Towne Theaters on the lower east coast, is also yet another disaster that this administration has to correct–a massive holdover from the PPP.

The Guyana courts have ordered the cabinet to pay Mr. Persaud more than a billion Guyana dollars for that wicked deed by Mr. Jagdeo and the PPP to illegally take away the lands and give to the party’s friends at Movie Towne.

As Minister Harmon has said, the PPP has left the Coalition in some very dark holes and as time goes by, taxpayers will learn more about what is in these deep, dark holes.

My mind immediately runs to SARA and Mr. Clive Thomas. As it continues to investigate past misdeeds, additional problems of this nature, having to do with state assets, will surface. And Mr. Jagdeo and the PPP leadership will again allege that they are being charged frivolously, harassed and witch-hunted. I am confident that time will determine which concept is correct.

Regards
Earl Hamilton
