(Kaieteur News) – Guyanese know how devious the PPP Govt can be. PPP insiders, hardliners, know this more than others. They are the prime beneficiaries of that deviousness.

Consult with dictionaries. Definitions confirm. Deviousness is dishonesty. Deviousness is underhanded. Deviousness is the shirt of trickster, conman. Armed with those definitions, I proceed to scrutinise the PPP Govt. Guyanese need not look hard, nor long. Such is the blinding presence of dishonesty, underhandedness, and cons in the group. From high to low, and the deep, wide, middle. I give three examples, two are interrelated. I urge Guyanese to appreciate how versatile this government has been in corrupting the local environment (through deviousness), and in corrupting Americans.
