Probe deeper into Petrojam

THE EDITOR, Sir:

The trigger response to the Petrojam scandal has been a mixture of blame games and finger-pointing by both those in and out of power.

Something that seems quite evident is that malfeasance has existed over a considerable period, involving both political parties, although it may have escalated during the present regime.

I am an ardent reader of detective stories, and among my favourites is the indomitable Sherlock Holmes, who used his wits and power of observation to solve his cases.

If he had been given the task of solving the Petrojam mystery, I believe he would immediately recognise that since this has been going on for such a long time, we should look at who, or what, has been common to both regimes, whether personnel or systems.

I believe that this is where a probe should start if we are to get to the bottom of this apparent scam and identify the perpetrators.

The suggestion by the senator that a foreign investigator should be employed is not such a bad idea.
