I NOTE with interest Kaiteur News’ Editorial of 8th January, 2015.

The Editorial condemned corruption by the upper echelons in the Administration and in public offices, but justified corruption at the lower tiers in society: poor wages, etc., etc., – the beaten track.
The said Editorial studiously avoided even a passing reference to corruption by constituents of the main Opposition party, particularly in relation to the stealing of electricity and potable water.
A killer in Sophia murdered a security personnel who went into the area to remove illegal power connections. That is ‘OK’ by the Kaieteur News Editor.
Several deaths have resulted from illegal connections. That also is ‘OK’ with the Editor. Billions of dollars are lost through stolen electricity and water. That, too, is ‘OK’ with the Editor.
Why?
Because 95% of stolen electricity and water is (allegedly) done by supporters of the main Opposition. And nobody dares stop it!
So, Mr. KN Editor, either you condemn ALL or condone all. A sin is a sin, whether committed by a prince or a pauper.
