Sir,
Kindly publish my views on the ways and means to tackle corruption in ‘Debate’ column of your esteemed daily.
Increasing corruption in public life is a growing nuisance. It is assuming dangerous proportions and taking the form of a cancer in the social life of the day. The best way to tackle this problem is to create a social awareness amongst the people on this very important issue. The corrupt elements should be thoroughly exposed and given an exemplary punishment. Those who bring the cases of corruption to the notice of the authorities should be publicly humored and richly rewarded. Working in all government offices should be made transparent. Big signboard asking people not to pay any unauthorized money or bribe to anybody should be put up in all offices. Red tap should be reduced to the minimum. Deterrent punishments should be given to those public servants who delay the work without rhyme or reason. Some of these steps will go a long way in tackling corruption in public life. With thanks,
Yours truly,

Subject : Concern about the growing level of corruption among municipal officers.
Dear sir,
I write to express my concern over the issue of abuse of power and corruption in government. Since our 34 years of independence there has been outright and open corruption by both Governments who have been placed to manage the affairs and develop this country economically, educationally, politically and otherwise. We have seen the privilege given to some individuals to manage the affairs of this country being misused, abused and dynasties created, some have enriched themselves and their cronies and in turn the very people who have elected them to serve have been neglected and the country is saddled with enormous debts which our children and grandchildren will have to repay. In my opinion it is a frustrating scenario on repeat with nothing being done to alleviate the biasness and abuse of authority of some government officials.
We must agree that it is unfair for educated individuals with the right qualification deserving jobs but not getting them due to nepotism being displayed. With our Healthcare under intense scrutiny and Immigration scandals arising every now and again we must anticipate more is yet to come. I am not choosing sides of this political dynasty but simply making it clear that no matter who we put into government that they almost always end up losing site and focus on the primary job. We as a unit of Belize’s population, whether educated or not must fight for the upliftment of our country in ways unheard of and unprecedented. For the next five years we must analyse all that is happening in our country as we hold the key to our rise in glory or our fall in utter despair.
In conclusion, we must stop government officials in their destiny to becoming rich through government. We need to carefully seek to place right individuals with the right mind set and qualifications to run this country in the direction that is beneficial to the greater population rather than focusing on personal gains. We need to focus on true development of our country and not be fooled by the lackadaisical work being done by the individuals we ourselves put in power. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and if we fail to plan then consequently we plan to fail.
Respectfully,
