A brief note on the Chief Justice’s ruling

For a brief digression: some students have asked me for my opinion on the recent Chief Justice’s ruling on the budget cuts. The ruling has given the kleptocratic communist party of Guyana, the PPP, the right to continue to project its undemocratic instincts and unenlightened ways on the people. Imagine the elected leaders of 52% of the electorate cannot have a say in the spending of their tax dollars. For those who thought a new President will change the mode of governance, think again. GT&T has recently complained the government is preventing it from expanding into certain wireless services. Previously some of us were puzzled why NICIL would sell the government’s shares in the lucrative GT&T. If one thinks in terms of the kleptocracy model, he/she will understand that the path is being cleared for two children of PPP Inc. to control this business space. The ruling has just made it easier for the government to do as it pleases and to shun transparency. That 52% of the population voted against the government does not matter. I would not say more on this issue, since I will not be able to write kind words about the generation of rhetorical swindlers who engineered this curse of a constitution the young must bear.
