The recent revelations coming out of a report by Vice News are not only explosive but damning, Shadow Legal Affairs Minister, Roysdale Forde has said.
The report by Vice News also, discloses that Mr.Su has privileges,connections and a relationship with the Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo. Also, the report reveals the apparent improper use of Government office to engage in lobbying.
Forde said while the Government is attempting to fail the Reporter in her attempt to find linkages between the Vice President and Mr.Su’s questionable dealing and arrangements, the fact that the Vice President acknowledged his relationship with Mr. Su demonstrated by his warm welcome of the Chinese businessman and the Journalist posing as his secretary and his conversation with them speaks volumes.
Furthermore, the fact that Mr.Su can actually say the things he said about Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, is not only extremely worrying to every law abiding Citizen, but has enormous potentials to negatively affect the National image and reputation of Guyana.
This situation cannot be decoupled from recent international assessments about the rise in Corruption in all sectors of the country since the PPPC return to government.
No amount of denial and public relations spin can remove or wash this scandal.
The recent unilateral appointment of The Integrity Commission coupled with the International assessment of the rise in corruption since the PPPC’s return to the
No amount of denial and public relations spin can remove or wash this scandal.
It is not a question of whether the Vice president is linked to these corrupt practices, but it is about the fact that Mr. Su can boldly implicate the Vice President.
If this worrying and disturbing does not warrant an investigation or a Commission of Inquiry I don’t know what else is worthy of such an inquiry in this country.
No amount of denial, on the part of the Vice President and or by his government, and amount of public relations spin can remove or wash away this odious National scandal.
The recent unilateral appointment of The Integrity Commission and other suspicious moves of the government have compounded the institutional weaknesses of the State which facilitates such corrupt practices and arrangements whilst concomitantly disabling the State from competently respond to this scandal.
It is important for Guyanese to know that I have prepared an appropriate Bill to be filed and tabled in the National Assembly to suppress and eradicate lobbying.
As a Guyanese citizen and a Member of Parliament I call for an immediate independent investigation, and the resignation of the Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo.
