Letter: PM Kamla is right in weeding out corruption

I am happy to see Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar not repeat the political mistakes of her political guru, Basdeo Panday. 

When Mr Panday became Prime Minister, he took a deliberate decision not to pursue political corruption by the People's National Movement because he did not think he should rock the boat.

This was in part informed by the fact that he was the first Indo-Trinidadian to hold the office of Prime Minister and he wanted to circumvent the destabilising cry of political victimisation in a radically charged political atmosphere.

For this, he paid the ultimate political price, as he lost office because he did not vindicate the population's concerns about massive political corruption. The PNM of course did not return the favour.

Mrs Persad-Bissessar is a confident leader and her decision to pursue political corruption will guarantee her Government's political future. Kudos to you, Madam.
