Dem a Watch…

Dear Editor,
It was Iraq, then Egypt, then Libya, now it is the GuySuco’s Port Mourant Training Centre. Young people seem to be easily despondent and concerned about the way things are happening around the world and are prepared to take unguided action if necessary.
The actions of the apprentices from the center could not be as a result of a single incident. Obviously their boiling point was exceeded just like the other young people in Iraq, Egypt and Libya.
The questions are:
1.    What could have caused these apprentices, after being one and a half year in the institution, to react in this manner?
2.    Why would these apprentices willingly sacrifice a respectable resume from a world renowned institution?
3.    Why was the head of the institution incapable of diffusing such an act?
4.    Who dispenses disciplinary action and what methods are used to ensure fairness and consistency?
5.    Does the head of the institution possess the requisite qualifications to manage the institution?
All the above questions are pertinent to the anticipation and expectation in maintaining the unenviable reputation of the center. The center, even prior to nationalization, has been the best engineering nursery for many organizations both locally and overseas, and its apprentices have been the envy of many. It seems as if this institution is undoubtedly suffering. As such, in order to ensure the preservation of the image and reputation of this institution, GuySuco has to review the way they do things.
GuySuco’s system of employment and confirmation must be transparent, fair and stand scrutiny. It must confirm to the requirements as outlined in the job specification and not who your cousin or relative is, or whether you are aligned to a specific party.In this age, jobs are difficult to obtain especially by certified and qualified young people and the evidence of incompetence permeates our society without impunity.
Hence, these acts of blatant disregard for intellectual respect creates the recipe for young people to react, as such one has to be conscious of the impact on the environment and be aware of the decisions we make because ‘Dem a Watch’.
