EXACTLY what impression Christopher Ram is seeking to convey when he recently reported that he had written the commissioner of police, requesting that he order an investigation into, “The possible violation of Guyana’s constitution and other laws by seven government and opposition parliamentarians who are dual citizens?

This is the deceptive mask of a social commentator and a political chameleon that has already been unmasked. In fact, he has performed such a task, by his own acts of political spite and alignment with the criminal politicians whom he had once castigated for their perfidious acts of state pillage.

Christopher Ram must know that he has lost all credibility, as one of the former keepers and defenders of the national conscience. He has, since 2015, been seen as an opportunist, and a representative and defender of vested interests that are inherently racist.

Ram is easily recognised as the leading public commentator, and as part of a right wing reactionary movement against the coalition government that comprises primarily the Private Sector Commission, sections of the private media, a collective of former PPP/C officials, whose only aim has been to deliberately tarnish the image of the government, by seeking to discredit the numerous initiatives deployed since 2015 to usher in genuine socio-economic development that will benefit all the people of Guyana, irrespective of race or political affiliation.

Led by a desperate, devious and deceptive opposition leader who daily frantically tries to pull out all the stops towards ensuring that through sections of the media he outpours an avalanche of daily lies, this is the group bent on removing the government by any means which Ram has continued to support. For a public figure whose voice once echoed loudest from the hilltops against rampant and unchecked corruption of the former PPP/C

administration, and which his audit firm through its unmasking of the Pradoville 2 fraud, had provided as an example. This is the real Christopher Ram who has finally emerged, even criticising the legislating of the State Assets Recovery Agency, as exceeding its powers and authority, even advocating for its closure. But it is not difficult to understand the inexplicable, against the background of the vested interests to protect.

Therefore, for Ram to be now deceptively attempting to re-clothe himself as national moralist by demanding an investigation into “The possible violation of Guyana’s constitution and other laws by seven government and opposition parliamentarians who are dual citizens,” is another glaring example of a hypocrite, a national hypocrite, displaying a defined characteristic for which he has since become known. He has lost such a moral high ground by his re-alignment with the very political criminals and pillagers of state assets, with whom he now cohorts.

Obviously, he and his cohorts would have always been aware of this contradiction, and need not have waited for a court’s ruling to validate the relevant article of the constitution.
Thus, it is quite asinine for Ram, or any other person(s) of his ilk, to take such steps on a matter at a time when the political parties will obviously have to make a decision.
