Dear Sports Editor,
Having read the many scathing articles and the very recent one by former WICB Director, Mr. Claude Raphael, we are convinced beyond a doubt that Mr. Dave Cameron has been pathetic as president of the WICB and has severely damaged the image of our regional game and by extension our identity as a Caribbean. In the best interest of our WI cricket, Cameron should do the decent thing and unconditionally withdraw from contesting the WICB presidency.
Successive Presidents of the WICB, Dr. Julian Hunte and Mr. Dave Cameron, have self-servingly ignored the plight of Guyana’s cricket and aligned themselves directly and only to certain individuals in order to secure the two (2) votes from Guyana so as to remain in power and retain their stranglehold of West Indies cricket.
Cameron was so hell bent on keeping the Sanasie-led faction in charge of the GCB that he sent three (3) well-programmed observers to the GCB elections in January 2013. Those observers, Imran Khan, Paul Slowe and Conde Riley, proclaimed that the elections were okay although only one of the three (3) counties took part, a clear violation of the GCB constitution. As head of the WICB, Cameron refused to investigate the sordid state into which Guyana cricket had sunk.
When Cameron attained the WICB presidency, he openly pledged transparency and good governance given an undertaking that he would investigate the problems affecting the administration of cricket in Guyana including charges of fraudulent elections, financial misappropriation and the wholesale transfer of all assets of Guyana Cricket (including bank accounts) to a small clique of individuals.
As he did with Hunte, Sanasie has formed an alliance with Cameron so that each could support and protect the other in their dealings in West Indies cricket.
We trust that when Mr. Joel Garner gains the presidency of the WICB, his first order of business would be to launch an investigation into the affairs of the Guyana Cricket Board especially the fraudulent elections and the well-document corruption.
The Directors who will vote at the upcoming elections of the WICB must ensure that Cameron is voted out and that Mr. Joel Garner is given a much-deserved chance to rescue West Indies cricket.
