Terrible, terrible down to her frou frou hair!

NY -TV moderator stumps ‘Liz’ Harper with corruption, accountability questions

Former Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Elisabeth Harper, who has been handpicked

Prime Ministerial hopeful, Elisabeth Harper

by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) to be Guyana’s next  Prime Minister, has failed to defend her Party’s record in government with regards to corruption.
Harper recently visited the United States of America where she appeared on a televised interview moderated by International Economic Relations expert, Dr. Rudy R. Jadoopat. During the interview, Dr. Jadoopat outlined numerous issued that are of concern to Guyanese living in the USA.
Among those issues are the time taken to renew passports, the level of corruption in Guyana, level of crime in Guyana and issues surrounding basic utilities such as water and electricity.
As he zeroed in on corruption, Dr. Jadoopat said that the lack of accountability and transparency has been bothering the Diaspora.
“In the Diaspora, people are very concerned, because we live in America and we see how things are done here. You can go to jail if contracts are not in order or if contracts were issued in violation of certain regulations here,” said Dr. Jadoopat.
Pointing to specific cases, Dr. Jadoopat singled out Fip Motilall “who was supposed to build a road to the Amaila Falls Hydro Power project. Apparently this man never built a road in his life, but a contract was issued to him and money was given…”
Dr. Jadoopat also pointed to the more recent case of Surendra Engineering with regards to the Specialty Hospital and asked Harper what the PPP had in place to prevent such issues and what new will be

Moderator, Dr. Rudy Jadoopat

implemented to ensure these do not reoccur.
As she responded, Harper cautioned Dr. Jadoopat that she preferred to “move forward” and not dwell on the past.
She then added, “You talk about transparency and the system that needs to be put in place or strengthened to ensure transparency and accountability; when the PPP took office they ensured that the Public Accounts Committee was functioning. That committee is chaired by the opposition; it examines the yearly reports of each government entity submitted by the Auditor General that is one aspect of accountability.
At this point, the moderator interjected in a bid to remind Harper that the focus of the question was on “these contracts.”
Harper then noted that in “moving forward” PPP/C plans to establish an “independent unit” which will monitor the transparency and accountability of projects so that Guyana can be on par with international standards.
She said that this new implementation forms part of PPP/C manifest.
“People talk about corruption so what the government is going to be doing, is establish a special unit that will monitor corruption,” said Harper.
When it was pointed out to her that corruption is an issue that should not be monitored but should be prevented, Harper said, “No, no, no, no it (the unit) will monitor transparency and accountability to meet international standards.
Dr. Jadoopat then commented that it is “Sad that it’s only now (this will be implemented).
Harper then pledged, “It will be done and we are moving forward.”

She talks about moving forward when confronted, yet PPP leaders talk about Burnham and the past....what is it really?

Well, she look for trouble.  She is not a politician.  She was not a PPP. You can't expect her to defend the PPP's crookishness.  That's asking too much from this neophyte.

But let the lady talk.  Between Jagdeo and Harper, enough crap would be said to show why we don't need 5 more years of the parasites.

She obviously out at sea with her answers...lady has no clue

Elisabeth Harper is an unmitigated hypocrite

No one like Elisabeth Harper has the right to become the Prime Minister of Guyana. Our elected officials must be people of such standards that their values not only preserve the essential fulcrums on which rest the civilization of the country, but such standards are preserved in the present generation that take them into the future. Elisabeth Harper, the so-called saving face of the PPP’s twenty-three-year-old bankrupt bandwagon, has made the topic of domestic abuse one of her election platform subjects. There are two repellant aspects of Mrs. Harper’s fiery hypocrisy. One is that she enunciated a denunciation of domestic abuse while sitting next to a former president who abused his wife. Secondly, she barefacedly avoided the concatenation of horrific treatment documented by the common-law wife of Mr. Jagdeo. And the documentation should have caused the public humiliation of Jagdeo with the ignominious fall from power. That Jagdeo remained in office after his mistreatment demonstrated the descent into moral miasma that has canopied this country since 1999 and has gone on unabated. In this context we can cite the incident at a party where President Ramotar back-balled with a lady of the night from Leopold Street who Ramotar ordered drinks for only to discover that she was a gate-crasher and was later evicted by management. By then the damage was done –the back-balling photo went viral on the internet. And it was a terrible image for which most wives would have hit the roof. Mrs. Ramotar, interviewed by INews, said she saw nothing wrong with the President’s action. Back to another back-balling president, Mr. Jagdeo (who was publicly photographed by the media back-balling on two occasions – at a GDF Old Year’s Night party and with a male Chronicle journalist at the Lusignan 2011 PPP election rally). There isn’t one official word of rejection from Mr. Jagdeo to date on the mountainous allegations of abuse by his common-law wife, Varshnie. Why then should one dismiss the accusations which include the eviction from the marital bedroom one week after the Hindu wedding? Her sleeping quarters were on the sofa in the living room where she contended the mosquitoes became a problem. There were the refusal of President Jagdeo to assign her a vehicle and Mr. Jagdeo’s intervention to prevent a contractor from lending her a car. Here are the words of Ms. Singh; “He decided that to punish me he would withhold all resources, financial and otherwise and line my path with a multitude of cruel, selfish obstacles.” Here is a heart-breaking section of Ms. Singh’s condemnation of Jagdeo; “I have been begging our President for financial assistance so I can live, for the past ten years and have not received it. I have had to depend on my parents who are pensioners and my family to support me. It is shameful at this stage of my life to regress to having my parents support me. For two years (2003-2004) I was denied access to the Presidential apartment at State House. If I was not home by 6pm the apartment door would be locked with the latch from the inside so my key could not open it. Even if I was home at 6pm I would be in my room by myself, where all I could do was read and listen to music. We were two people living separately under one roof. When I was locked out, I would have to spend the night on a sofa on the first floor, without a sheet, get murdered by mosquitoes, praying for the night to pass quickly so I could get into my room, bathe and get to office, or to my public engagements etc. I got no sleep at all during the period I was locked out. Eventually I would walk with a change of clothes, just in case and then go to my Aunt’s house nearby to bathe the next morning.” Is this the man Elisabeth Harper is happy to lead her party’s campaign for the 2015 election? But more importantly, does Harper see anything immoral or depraved or uncivilized in what Varshnie Singh has accused Bharrat Jagdeo of? If Mrs. Harper cannot bring herself to offer to least a terse condemnatory comment on the traumas that Ms. Singh suffered not by a labourer or a cane-cutter or a mango-seller but by the President of the country, then she is an abominable hypocrite unfit for the prime ministerial slot in this country. And should she continue on the campaign trail, she should spare the nation her inflammatory hypocrisy by avoiding the subject of domestic violence. She’s not fit to comment on it.
