Ganesh Mahipaul endorses Carl Greenidge

Jul 25, 2012 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
A leader in my humble opinion should not merely be one who holds office. A leader is one who has vision and is a shining light who by example and stewardship effectively propels others to achieve collective goals and targets.
So said, the PNC/R is at a crossroad in national politics. The monumental renaissance is in no majority of a single party in Parliament to the social emancipation of Linden leaves us in a period where a true leader needs to be chosen. A highly skilled individual whose political track record and dedication, not only to the party, but to the nation as a whole stands head and shoulders above all to be recognized as a stalwart of this nation. In my opinion, the only individual who is currently fit to wear this cap is Mr. Carl Greenidge.
Mr. Carl B Greenidge is a former Minister of Finance, Planning and Trade in Guyana. He has extensive experience at the policy, management and technical levels and has worked on public sector economics and agricultural policy as well as international trade and finance.
He has provided distinguished service to his country, the Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of states.at the policy, management and technical levels and has worked on public sector economics and agricultural policy as well as international trade and finance. He has provided distinguished service to his country, the Caribbean and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States. That service has been in the design and management of Guyana’s Economic Recovery Programme (1988-1992) and the negotiation of the unique north-south cooperation compact, the Lomé Convention, inter alia. This latter pact aimed to alleviate the burden of poverty in the ACP regions which include the most trade dependent countries in the world and countries for which agriculture is dominant. He has successfully headed two joint ACP-EU funded institutions devoted to development cooperation and has, in the process, sat on both ‘sides’ of the Donor-Recipient interface. Mr. Greenidge has also published four monographs, numerous academic articles on economics and contributed to books on a variety of issues, including the political economy of agricultural modernisation, international agricultural trade negotiations and marine fisheries. He has been Co-President of the Joint Council of Ministers of the EuropeanTherefore as party leader can gear the party, as he has already been doing to a lesser degree, to better function as an opposing force to government malpractices.
His grasp of extensive Guyanese economic issues places him in good stead to exploit and suggest application of funding not only within the party but the country as a whole.
Lastly, from all who know him, he has the ability to relate to all levels of society and direct personal communication with everyone makes him not only likeable, but effective when he communicates. This is a great trait for a leader and Mr. Greenidge is certainly one.
The aforementioned are merely the tip of the iceberg as to why Mr. Greenidge is the best candidate for Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform.
