Keeping out the qualified young

Mar 06, 2012 Letters

 

 

Mr Editor,
The  intent  of  my  missive  is  to  invite  attention of  the  Leader  of  the  opposition  and  the  YCT,  to  a  situation  which  exists  at  the  Bartica  Hospital.
The  Government  is  terminating  contracts  of  persons  who  oppose  and  openly  criticise it  but  there  are  their  lackeys  whose  contracts  remain  in  force.  The  Regional  Health Officer  at  the  Bartica  Hospital is  a  retiree  and  a  hindrance  to  the  staff,  including  medical  practitioners.
This  vacancy  was  never  advertised  for  years  and  this  individual  continues  to  enjoy  benefits  of  the  State  which  should  have  gone  to  a  younger  person. This  woman  is  a  close  friend  of  a  Minister  of  this  Government  and  is  facilitated  by  the  former  Minister  of  Health.
There  is  evidence  that  there  are  persons  from  Bartica  who  are  qualified  for  this  post  but  this  Government  is  stubbornly  determined  to employ  this woman   in  preference  of  a  younger  qualified  person.
I  am  calling  on  the  now  Minister of  Health  to  terminate  this  woman’s  contract  and  advertize  the  vacancy,  so  that a  qualified  young  person  can  be  gainfully  employed.  I  hope  good  sense  prevails  and  the  Minister would  do  what  is  just  and  right.
Umar Saied
