GuySuCo’s Surujbally could be retained as consultant

Oct 19, 2009 News

The Marketing Director of Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), who recently tendered her resignation, will be allowed to function as a consultant should she choose to accept the position.

This is according to a well placed source within the hierarchy of the industry who also stated that the former director, Nisa Surujbally, had signalled her intention to resign months ago.

Surujbally had wanted to be relieved of her duties for personal issues, her letter of resignation had said.

This newspaper has learnt from a source within the Ministry of Agriculture that because of her skills and experience, the Minister is keen on accepting her for a position as a consultant to assist with GuySuCo’s marketing, especially in light of the company’s turnaround plan.

Her replacement, Raj Singh, himself a former board member, will be tasked with marketing and pushing agriculture aspects of the company, Kaieteur News was told.

He will be installed as a Deputy Chief Executive and will play a critical role in the turnaround plan for the sugar industry which is currently facing several uphill battles.

It was reported that Surujbally, who is wife of Dr Steve Surujbally, Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission, resigned after she was reportedly locked out of a top management meeting almost two weeks ago. She reportedly tendered her resignation the same day.

According to the source, however, to lock someone of the calibre of Surujbally out of the meeting for being a few minutes late is a “stupid, childish excuse” that is “ludicrous. There is something more to this than meets the eye.”

Kaieteur News was told that the Director was a few minutes late for the meeting and met a locked door. A few minutes later, another senior official of the company arrived late but was let in.

The Marketing Director was in charge of sugar and molasses sale, shipping and ensuring that the state-owned entity is International Organisation For Standardisation (ISO) certified.
