Dear Editor,
I like to ask you to please permit me space to highlight this important matter of national interest.
I was reliably informed that millions of dollars of contracts were given to close friends and associates for services procured at the Rice Research Station by the GRDB managers. The process lacks transparency.

Investigate or do an audit and you would see that these managers approved and paid double the average cost or 100 and more percent the normal cost for services such as drying paddy, sowing of paddy, fertilising etc. at the Research Station.  The same services used by farmers who paid half the price. How can this be right?
Imaging the corruption so high that thousands of bags of seed paddy were sold to selected mills for prices far below the market value. This is evident in the records. These mills paid just over $700 for a bag of high-quality seed paddy sold to them which cost about $5,000 to produce. Is not this sufficient evidence of corruption?
Hon. Minister of Agriculture please launch an investigation or audit in those areas and see what you will find. The evidence is there.

Yours truly,
Kumar Ramsingh
