Ramsaroop dead set against remittances

Jul 29, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Gerhard Ramsaroop is certainly attempting to spark a political gimmick in his name. However, if he was so smart as he perceives himself to be, then how come he didn’t figure out that I do not need to quote any line from his letter about him viewing remittances as competing rather than complementary.
For his clarification, I am simply looking at the theoretical framework of his letter, or for simplicity’s sake, I mean ‘the line’ of his letter.
Even though I have exhausted the positives of remittances, Ramsaroop continues to spit on it with hate and disgust.  I have a suggestion for Ramsaroop; let us ban remittances from Guyana! Also, let us cut all ties with the Guyanese Diaspora and treat them as if they were exiled! I am disappointed in Ramsaroop’s thinking; he sure has a long way to go.
My mind is still boggled as to why Ramsaroop is so dead set against remittances as a development tool, since a lot of small businesses just like his and others, which are not doing so well can benefit from remittances. Picture a situation like this, suppose a total of $10 million is injected into each small business, including Ramsaroop’s failing business, per year, by the Guyanese Diaspora, how would Ramsaroop then view this? Would remittances then be a developmental tool?
And also, congratulations to Ramsaroop for making it on the Alliance For Change’s (AFC’s) National Executive Committee. He sure has his work cut out for him; but if he behaves as he is with his views on remittances, then, I pity the AFC.
