The evidence suggests that these people are bent on stabbing the government in the back

May 29, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is the height of lunacy for the David Granger administration to continue keeping these heads of corporations and other government agencies in place when the available evidence suggests that those incumbents are bent on stabbing the government in the back. The Raj Singh utterances make the case for the tippity-toes approach that the APNU-AFC government is practicing to be tempered with pragmatism of the highest order. It is the chairmanship of Singh that aggravated the current state of Guysuco.
The entire country is asking what could be the real reason for Singh saying that the sugar industry workers cannot be paid past Sunday if not to cause anxiety and disruption in the lives of thousands of sugar workers. I read a most self-serving and groveling article emanating from a Guysuco board member where he sought to promote himself in the eyes of the administration. He is the same person who proudly and publicly proclaimed that Bharrat Jagdeo was the best president this country had ever seen. Now to seek to distance himself from the venalities of the past regime is an insult to all right-thinking persons. He is the person who expended monies to organize a forum called “Friends of Donald” in the lead up to the 2011 general and regional elections. I wonder if he has had the decency to resign all those positions as he claimed he did in the past.
The practice of keeping the confidential secretaries and some permanent secretaries is going to come back to haunt this administration. This state of flux creates the impression that the coalition was not really prepared to take over the reins of government Many are the tales of woe to be told of the high-handedness and mendacity of some of these people who are now being forced to adopt the cloak of professionalism. The same can be said of the police force which needs to be purged if the government is serious about reform. Treading lightly will not work. The Minister of National Security will have to take an approach where he does not listen only to one side on contentious issues, but must wear his lawyer’s cap to enquire into the deep seated reasons for the divisions and antipathy where they exist.
We have felt the fresh air of freedom, and we need to separate the wheat from the chaff if we are to keep on breathing.
