-as PPP unwilling to tackle corruption
The Opposition has expressed concern over the recent sanctions issued by the United States Department of Treasury and the attendant possibility of a threat to the entire local financial system, which it feels is an indication that the PPP is unwilling to fight corruption in Guyana.
A release on Friday from the Office of the Opposition, opined that the sanctions levied against PPP central committee member and Permanent Secretary Mae Toussaint Jr Thomas-Meerabux, and PPP local government representative, Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohammed, by the United States for corruption and gold smuggling, have once again “exposed PPP’s involvement in, support for, and protection of corruption.” It added, “The PPP continues to embarrass Guyana, deprive its people of their fair share of our wealth, and put the country’s economy at risk due to greed and disdain for the rule of law.”
