The revelations surrounding President Ali’s likely involvement in the Lamborghini tax evasion scandal have reached a point that his denials and the counter-accusations are insufficient to establish his innocence. We, in the APNU coalition, therefore call for an independent investigation into the allegations that the President played an active and direct role in the matter. Additionally, as it is likely that the Lamborghini scandal may not be the only time the President has allegedly intervened into the work of the GRA, we demand that the scope of the investigation includes the possibility that he is a regular conspirator and facilitator of tax evasion schemes. Every year, Guyana loses tens of billions of dollars through smuggling and under-invoicing. These are, first and foremost, criminal offences and must be treated as such. But, more so, this is money that could have been spent on the well-being of the Guyanese people. Tax evasion takes food out of the mouths of Guyanese, especially babies and children. If the allegations against President Ali are confirmed, then this is good enough reason for Guyanese to take the opportunity to throw him and his party out of government, come September 1st.
