The Forestry sector is one of the most regulated
Dear Editor,
It is evident that the political season is here which gives some people the right to be silly. I note the recent letter penned by Timothy M. Jonas which was titled what measures have been put in place to ensure loggers adhere to the law?, which was published in the April 11, 2015 edition of Stabroek News.
Editor, I am integrally involved in the Forest Sector and I can confidently say that it is one of the most regulated sectors, despite the politics some individuals and newspapers might want to play in besmirching the work of this well regulated sector.
The information contained in the letter penned by Timothy M. Jonas is nothing more than what have been regurgitated over and over by some know critics of the forest sector and which have constantly been rebuked and clarified by the Guyana Forestry Commission.
Mr. Timothy M. Jonas as a voter requested in his letter political parties to discuss several issues pertaining to the forestry sector, these same questions have been asked on numerous occasions and were clarified. Mr. Jonas is not really interested in the development of Guyana as he may want to portray, but has been spurred by his handlers to once again cast aspersions on the forest sector.
It would have been wise for Mr. Jonas to first seek clarification before publishing his missive which have only serve to expose his ignorance of the forest sector and how it is being managed. For reference I would recommend Mr. Jonas visit the Guyana Forest Commission’s website at: http://www.forestry.gov.gy/news.html which I do very so often to keep update on developments as a stakeholder within the sector.
In closing, it is evident that Mr. Jones is either new to this long exhausted debate of the management of the forest sector or he has been set up by his handlers to propagate their propaganda. As such, I would urge Mr. Jonas to first get his facts be3fore exposing himself.
Terence William
