Concepts must be pragmatically relevant

Nov 27, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Reference is made to Mr Sase Singh’s letter in Kaieteur News’ issue of 25/11/15 There is no disagreement that change in GUYSUCO is necessary and urgently so; however, we must beware that the metaphoric speedy “skating on thin ice” in a cold country might be a non-starter in hot Guyana and more so in boiling GUYSUCO! As I indicated before, the constraints of my being in the COI into GUYSUCO does not facilitate a more comprehensive retort to Mr Singh’s formula at this time. Nevertheless, I wish to remind him and our readers about the wisdom of considering contextual and situational factors before ‘importing’ solutions that may not be relevant or timely, given the ground realities. A case in point is the well-known fact that our Field Foremen are actually in the same union as the workers they supervise and the Field Supervisors & Factory Foremen are virtually in the same boat. Mr. Singh needs to reflect on these specific contextual realities which militate against any indiscriminate and untimely application of practices which might be more germane to other situations …hence my plea for caution and pragmatism.
