ALLOW me to commend your publication for the excellent investigative work in Monday’s paper, which uncovered the corrupt practices of the pseudo- whistleblower Glenn Lall.

The report, titled “Local publisher at centre of duty-free concession scam”, clearly showed how the Lall family defrauded the Government and people of Guyana of close to $40 million in taxes.

The local proverb “If you live in glass house you shouldn’t throw stones at others” comes to mind with Glenn Lall and the scandalous tabloid he runs.

Lall, I am sure, has no shame, and will not comment on the uncovered issue of corrupt practice, which involves him and his wife. But this comes as no surprise to those of us who recall the US Government’s label of him in the Wiki Cables as having a firm hand on criminality.

One can only hope that the advocates of transparency and anti-corruption, including the ever watchful Annand Goolsarran and his puppet organisation, Transparency Institute of Guyana, will condemn this shameful display of disrespect to both the people and Government of Guyana.

I am waiting to see what public position Goolsarran and his buddy, Christopher Ram, are going to take on this issue. Will they condemn Glenn Lall and his wife for the blatant public fraud they have committed against the people of Guyana?

Will Goolsarran finally demonstrate that he can be fair and balanced, or will he continue to profess falsely that he is a crusader for transparency?

This band of friends is known for its unethical, immoral and biased behaviour while piously promoting its collective political ambitions. It is public knowledge that Glenn Lall has been, and continues to be, associated with the underworld, and is inured to its dealings.

Ram, like his buddy Glenn Lall, is also known for his failure to pay personal taxes. Like Lall and Ram, Goolsarran is guilty of breaching the Constitution by failing to provide audited accounts to the Parliament when he was Auditor General during the PNC administration.

Let’s see what Goolsarran and Ram will say, now that there is clear proof that the public and the Government have been blatantly robbed of tax dollars by their friend.
