According to a Kaieteur News report, the AFC has briefed the IMF on ‘massive bribery and corruption.’ The article, published on 13th November http://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2014/11/13/afc-briefs-imf-on-massive-bribery-and-corruption-behind-closed-doors/ specifically targeted the Attorney-General and the GRA boss, stating “Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Khemraj Ramjattan, has been quick to inform a visiting team of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of the abuse of power by Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Commissioner, Khurshid Sattaur.He told the IMF that his party has strong reasons to believe that there is massive bribery and corruption in many “behind closed door deals.”
According to the KN report, the IMF officials asked for some documents and proof.
Once Ramjattan cannot produce these documents and proof, then IMF officials must come to the press and state that Ramjattan and AFC officials came to them with lies.
PPP/C must keep the pressure on Ramjattan to produce all relevant documents the IMF asked him for.
Ramjattan gave this story to KN, knowing that he cannot produce the documents that IMF officials asked him for, but this is another trick to further stigmatise and demonise Government functionaries without censorship, while keeping Ramjattan in the news to impress his supporters and KN readers.
It is amazing to read how these politicians and opposition media can lie to the public and never be brought to justice.
Ramjattan told the world he knows PPP/C offered three Opposition MPs a bribe of $30M each to vote against their no-confidence motion.
His lie was to make all Opposition MPs look and feel guilty and not one of them went after him to show proof.
Well, IMF asked for some proof and documents, which most Guyanese already know Ramjattan cannot produce; but then IMF officials must come to the press and state so.
The story Ramjattan told KN is designed to trick their readers and supporters to see if they will take to the streets in mass protest actions, as they have done before through such trickery and lies.
Ramjattan must be made to produce the proof and documents immediately, because he should have them all in his possession since he is making these claims.
If Ramjattan cannot produce the documents and proof to the IMF, the Government must request the IMF officials to come out and address the public on Ramjattan’s claims and the conclusion to their investigations.
This is the only way to stop these liars from reporting lies.
Ramjattan will be made to look like another AFC clown, like Nigel Hughes did when he tried to frame the Home Affairs Minister on the Linden COI.
