THIS week, the PPP/C Government must receive the admiration and respect of all law-abiding citizens who support legality, justice, right, and equitable as well as fair and transparent business.

The government followed through with a promise to fight against corruption and the accumulation of wealth through questionable means.

Therefore, when former Finance Minister Winston Jordan was questioned, no one could claim that they were surprised.

After all, Jordan has been the subject of many probes by the government. He allegedly gave State lands away to businessmen reportedly associated with the APNU+AFC Coalition. He allegedly entered into, and concluded, some of the most questionable agreements.

Also, time nor space does not allow for an explanation of how Jordan allegedly misused his office as a minister. It is an indisputable fact though, that some assets were massively undervalued at the time when the negotiations took place under his tenure.

And now that Jordan is charged with misconduct for allowing the sale of the $8B wharf to Brian Tiwari for chicken feed price, and without following the law to the T, Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon is up in arms saying that he will have the ‘best legal’ representation. Harmon is quoted widely as saying that the government was engineering false narratives about Jordan because he was speaking out against the economic policies of the PPP/C.

First up, Harmon got his priorities mixed up. He should focus on winning the upcoming elections for the PNC leader. He knows well about this wharf that BK owns because it happened under his nose as the Minister of State. Additionally, Harmon should remember what he said in 2017 about Jagdeo’s arrest and the detention of other people, including Roger Luncheon. Or is he changing his mouth now conveniently about the police investigations? Why must they not arrest and charge Jordan if they have enough evidence to do so Harmon? and the “best” lawyers can represent Jordan, but that port in Georgetown with all its land should not have been given away for a paltry sum. Who will compensate the people of Guyana for its sale?

Therefore, the PPP/C Government is obligated to go after this particular asset and sale. It must get the asset and land back or the rightful monies. The Police Force is doing its job in this matter and Harmon is fully aware of this fact and should be appreciative of it.

Wrong is wrong and right is right! Some elements in the Coalition do not need a role model to tell them that. The APNU+AFC politicians know the PPP/C is just hitting the iceberg, and there is much more. Wait, and you will see.
