Dear Editor,
I read with dismay and disbelief Bishop, the Minister Hon. Juan Edghill’s long explanation about why the Public Accounts Committee is not meeting. His most bizarre statement is an assault on democratic governance and the right of Members of Parliament and by extension the public to know how Ministries and the Government, this and the previous one are spending our monies
I believe if Minister Edghill is still a Bishop within the Christian community, he should publicly seek forgiveness. With all of his spurious statements including the ridiculous one that Opposition Members want to have PAC Meetings so as to collect travelling and other allowances.
This is both banal, absurd and unworthy of someone we describe as an honourable person. In a working democracy, Bishop Minister Juan Edghill should not have accepted membership of the Public Accounts Committee in circumstances where his Ministry is regularly doling out Contracts for all sorts of works, to all sorts of people.
Is it therefore that he and the PPP do not believe in transparency or is the stalling and manipulation for not having Meetings of the Public Accounts Committee that his Ministry has something to hide?
I was among those who, with Minister Edghill, was part of the GGG Party Campaign, protesting against the PPP, so what has happened to my friend and good gentleman?
Dear Editor, that is my question.
Yours truly,
Eric Moseley, MS
