DEAR EDITOR,

It cannot have escaped attention that I have been critical of

I will offer a few examples to support my theory expressed above.
In one of its first acts, APNU+AFC granted its top brass a hefty 50% salary increase, the reason

was true.
In fact, numerous studies have shown the opposite to be true. “Rather than decrease petty
corruption, the salary policy significantly increased the police efforts to collect bribes” (Foltz, J and

the solution to greed, not higher salaries. The introduction of a 2 AM curfew ostensibly “in the interest
of citizens’ security and safety with the aim of suppressing criminal and other offences.” (Ministry of
Public Security) was done without release of a single study or statistic to support the reasoning.
Three years on, and no evidence has been provided for or against the policy, instead we are told it

The tax base has shrunk by the loss of 30,000 jobs so far under the APNU+AFC administration.

APNU+AFC squandered their time on those benches, choosing instead to make outlandish claims
and wild accusations. Given the opportunity to govern, they were bereft of a sensible basis for policy
and action. The haphazard, unscientific approach to governance is a direct result of the success they
had with their loud lies, they never learned the difference between politics and policy. Monies spent
on Commissions of Inquiry would have been better allocated to scientific study for solutions to our Features/Columnists
problems.
