In wake of the continued debate about uncapped benefits which former President Bharrat Jagdeo will receive in addition to his pension and the wealth he acquired during his presidency, the Alliance for Change is calling for a code of ethics to be established for persons serving in Government offices.During the Party’s weekly media briefing Chairman Nigel Hughes said there was no transparency in the way the former president acquired his ‘palace’ hence the need for code of ethics. This he said will prevent citizens from paying for luxuries after a person would have left government office.“Here you have a man who was earning a high income being given a house lot for $58,cheap jerseys,000, in less than ten years of owning the very same land he sold it as well as a property which he had constructed on it,NFL Jerseys China, while failing to stay within any government regulation that governs house lots allocation and sales,Cheap Jerseys USA,” Hughes said.Further it was stated that after that the former president went ahead and allocated to himself not one other house lot but a total of 17 house lots put together where he now has his ‘palace’ which according to the AFC was acquired far below market value.The Party Chairman also reiterated that with the establishment of the Code of Ethics,Jerseys Cheap NFL, persons serving in Government offices will be prevented from ‘running businesses’ from their offices.Also making reference to the Labour Minister’s recent comments about a president moving from riches to rags,Wholesale Jerseys, the Party Chairman said it is for this reason that there is the president’s pension plan.It was stated that Presidents Desmond Hoyte,NFL Jerseys China, Cheddi and Janet Jagan left office with the same assets with which they assumed office.“The notion as expressed by the Minister of Labour Dr. Gopaul that somehow once one is afforded the privilege of being elected to the High Office of President of this Republic, that you must use the office to fix up yourself for later years is repugnant and must be rejected by all right thinking citizens. The privilege of being president is about service to the country and not about enriching oneself” Hughes noted.
