Comment on TED featured Afra Raymonds TEDxPortofSpain talk as a talk of the week. by Christopher McMaster

Public corruption has been demystified appropriately by Mr. Raymond. Although we knew of its presence all along, our tacit sanctioning was perhaps with a hope that the practice will cease, or evaporate, or the loot will be used for the public good, somewhere else. Irresponsibility by public officials is acknowledged in Nigeria, as Achebe says in The Trouble with Nigeria (1983), “60 percent of the wealth of this nation is regularly consumed by corruption” (p. 40). Similarly Afra confirms that two of every three dollars of public funds are either stolen or wasted here. One billion dollars was stolen from a 1.6 billion dollar project at Piarco, Trinidad. We are outraged, horrified and determined to reverse the complacency about it. The unprecedented 24 billion TT bailout of a private company with taxpayers funds that is defended by a democratic government against those whose funds are being stolen, is a tyrannical outrage. George Ayittey’s Africa Unchained, (2005) logs the 21st C equivalents there. Duke sang, “How many more must die?” and he passed on. Will we blindly bequeath this brazen barbarity to our children?

Afra, You are indeed a poet. I specifically admire your cautious precision, the mootless elucidation of your undramatic castigations and your suave, masterful exemplification of the obvious. I commend you, I envy you and I honour your probity. Keep it up

That was one of the best talks I have ever seen. I immediately bookmarked each website and subscribed to the blog. Although I am not presently resident in Trinidad & Tobago, I aspire to move back home and with hope, these websites will offer me the chance to help. Thank you, Afra.

Proud to see “one of our own” for a change. While I enjoy the many Ted talks/vids, there’s something which can probably be best described as being “ethnocentric.”
Timely topic.

Yes, Roger, Colleagues…thanks for your support…this is an individual’s effort to represent our collective interests…

If we let this last 15 years of complete commesse pass away like ‘nutten-happen’ we deserve every oonks of sorrow…the info and the laws are there…the question is if we are ready to insist that those are applied without fear or favour…I know that I am!
