If there's any Member of Parliament that can be bought it is none other than the AFC's Khemraj Ramjattan who himself warned fellow party comrades of a plan by the ruling party to 'pay off' several MPs in order to secure their support of the 2012 Budget at a recent party confabulation. Ramjattan has always shown an inclination for making a quick dollar and it was this which led to his expulsion form the PPP. Whilst occupying a PPP seat in parliament Ramjattan sold several duty free concessions granted to him and was reprimanded for only representing drug dealers in the course of his private law practice.
In 2009, the Guyana Revenue Authority issued eight property tax forms to Frederick Kissoon. The reason was that he was delinquent with his Property taxes. Frederick Kissoon responded harshly to the Commissoner-General of the Guyana Revenue Authority stating that "I have worked at UG for 23 years. My wife has worked for 26 years. Together we saved our money in the bank after paying PAYE and after the bank would have paid withholding tax on the interest the bank gives. Now Khurshid Sattaur, Head of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), has requested that for the past nine years I submit property tax. For those who don’t know, property tax means all assets including furniture, cars, jewellery, homes and bank account."
