THE current Opposition keeps speaking of corruption, but is yet to bring forth tangible evidence of their spewing.Let me refresh the memory of some Guyanese and highlight to the young ones what I found about corruption as written by a famous son of the soil, Eusi Kwayana!

I stumbled on a letter by Kwayana in the Stabroek News (March 5, 1988). Mr Kwayana who was once the co-leader of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) was expressing his concern over corruption in Guyana. He also stated that while talking to the President (Forbes Burnham) he (Burnham) brushed aside reports of corruption. The then Member of Parliament said it appeared to his party that the government was not doing enough to fight corruption and cited the WPA’s exposure of corruption. He said the government had an ample chance to dispel the rumours.
He also expressed his party’s disappointment with what he termed the absence of a clear and direct statement on corruption from the Burnham-led Government.
Now, some of the same WPA members are members of the APNU, the major part of which is the People’s National Congress. The WPA is part of the umbrella APNU+AFC coalition!
Have all these people started to suffer from amnesia? Forgetting what the PNC did to the Guyanese in the 1980s when they were the ones who protested, spoke against the government over corruption and the crisis the nation faced, and who they are now in bed with?
Why should we give them another chance to take Guyana back to a corrupt country?
