Burning questions for Minister Persaud

Dec 27, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer Kaieteur News’ article (17/12/2009) captioned, “GuySuCo’s exorbitant packages to be reviewed”. It was reported that the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Robert Persaud, advised that the sacking of Booker Tate was due to the high management fee, as well as that company’s non-performance relative to its contractual obligation to GuySuCo.
It behooves an explanation from the Honourable Minister as to why then he chose to recruit Mr. Errol Hanoman as the Chief Executive Officer of GuySuCo.
Was not the very Hanoman a senior Booker Tate employee – right up to his recruitment by the Minister? And was it not the very Hanoman Booker Tate’s Regional Director who had the overall responsibility for GuySuCo’s management? Was it also not this very Hanoman who, while being in charge of Booker Tate’s management of GuySuCo, brought the industry – through “non-performance” into a down sliding vortex from which it cannot extricate itself? Was it not this same Hanoman who was fired from GuySuCo in 1997?
How then can any sane and logically thinking person expect the very Hanoman to lift GuySuCo out of its present inexorable tail-spin? Hanoman, as a faithful servant of Booker Tate, was an integral component of GuySuCo’s demise.
Hiring Hanoman is, in reality, creating no change whatsoever.
