Dear Editor,
By all accounts, the late Presidential Advisor Navin Chandarpal was a humble and affable man who remained humble after the year 1992, unlike so many of his colleagues.
Yet, it is undisputed that upon being diagnosed with cancer, he was given $116 million by the government to pay for cancer treatment for the years 2012 and 2013. This was a case of gross executive lawlessness more common to dictatorships rather than democracies.
The upcoming election is in a sense a referendum on whether the people are prepared to tolerate such actions by the government. Never again should a government take it upon itself to take taxpayers’ money to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and give it to one taxpayer.
Yours faithfully,
Victor Simon
