Leadership is about setting the example

Aug 23, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Cde Donald Ramotar declining reelection to the post of General Secretary (GS) of the People Progressive ‘Party (PPP) and focusing on his presidency displays a great deal of mature leadership. The realization that the Office Of The President and that of the GS of the party carries a demanding work load and that if he retains both it might well be a disservice to either one or both offices speaks volumes of his maturity.
In like manner, the new General Secretary of the PPP, Cde Rohee should realize that there should be no coyness to his response to whether he can function in both roles as the GS and
Home Affai s Minister. He should take a cue from the President especially at this crucial juncture of the PPP.
In the same vein, there seems to be the belief among senior party leaders that the more positions and committees that they are on will enhance their status within the Party. This might very well the case but in the end the Party suffers due to them having to divert their energies in too many areas and at the end of the day not able to achieve much.
On another related matter, languishing in various advisory positions in the government is a set of party stalwarts that should return to Freedom House to strengthen the Party. I am referring here to Cdes. Navin Chandarpaul, Feroze Mohammed, Gail Teixeira, Harry Nokta, Khelwan Lail and Clinton Collymore. Amongst this elite set of stalwarts resides more than two centuries of institutional data of party activism. Could you imagine the transformation that will take place at Freedom House if some or all of them return?
