The Editor, Sir;

The National Democratic Movement (NDM) fully supports the contractor general and views him as a shining light in a near barren desert of crime, corruption and mismanagement that has plagued Jamaica for nearly all of the 66 years of Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and People's National Party (PNP) management of Jamaica's affairs.

The NDM is not surprised that elements of the JLP and PNP make unfavourable comments about the contractor general.

It simply means he is doing a good job.

After the last general elections in 2007, the NDM always maintained that the electorate was only swapping the PNP for the JLP and that nothing much would change except the faces of the JLP government. The recent actions of many civil servants seem to support the view that the corruption would continue, as many remained to show the 'way things run' to the new minister on his arrival at the ministry.

The most culpable

The fact that some public officers seem to be the ones who are most culpable in ignoring proper procedures, guidelines and even the law, makes the work of the contractor general necessary and important, and should not be hindered by anyone.

I am, etc.,

MICHAEL WILLIAMS

General Secretary
