No one in their reasonable mind will believe this nonsense
DEAR EDITOR,
The statements from the CEO of GPL and the Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS)affirming that the Directors of the Board at GPL offer their services “pro bono” is ludicrous. No one in their reasonable mind will believe this nonsense.
First, GPL is in crisis and needs guidance from its Board to navigate through the “storm” it has put itself in. One would have thought that the current condition of GPL would necessitate the “best” brains – knowledgeable persons who have proven track records of saving electrical generating companies from collapse. Even if these professionals have to be brought in from overseas to save the company, that would be justifiable.
I believe that every board member appointed should have their résumé published. For too long the politicians put their friends and comrades in position that is way beyond their comprehension. In the cold war era this may have worked, but today, smart politicians who are determined to succeed have moved away from “petty” politics, and have established professional boards to run public corporations, even if those board members are of different political persuasion.
All board members should be adequately compensated for their services. Can the HPS tell the nation which other board(s) in Guyana is/are working pro bono?
