I stand in solidarity with the UG unions over the unfortunate dismissal of the Chief Accountant

Sep 06, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
With reference to the immediate dismissal of UG’s Bursar and Chief Accountant, the Secretary of UGSS made a comment which can be read online (http://www.ugnow.gy/2013/09/04/ugs-council-fires-bursar-and-chief-accountant-all-options-on-the-table-ug-unions/). The Secretary stated that Natural justice is important and the persons fired should have been allowed to present themselves before the relevant committee to answer to the charges laid before them.
He further stated that he was not sure if there are any charges known to Seeram and Bentinck or if they had committed any crime.
Editor, I wish to ask the Secretary of UGSS one very simple question; was Ganesh Mahipaul charged with any crime and if so was he allowed to present himself before the relevant authorities to answer to the charge/s laid before him? The answer is NO!!!
This double standard is highly unacceptable and speaks volume of what were really the intentions of UGSS.
Notwithstanding the above, I stand in solidarity with the UG unions over the unfortunate dismissal of the Chief Accountant. Mrs. Bentick was recently appointed to that prestigious position and I know for a fact that she has been constantly venting her frustration with regards to the manner in which the bursary was carrying out its functions. This extra-ordinary lady has always, for the years I have known her, acted with professionalism. She had UG at heart and kept it floating.
Editor, what I believe the Council should have done and can still do, is carry out an investigation so as to ascertain why is it that the bursary was functioning with so much malpractices. This investigation I am certain will reveal that all bursary staff were not allowed to effectively perform their duties since they were constantly disturbed by a dictatorial supervisor.  John Seeram’s dismissal should have happened yesteryears and not yesterday.
Former UGSS President
