Dear Editor,
It is with great dismay and amazement I continue to read Ms. Janette Bulkan’s controversial issues. For as long as I can remember Ms. Bulkan has been making references to and quoting from many Government’s and Non-Governmental Organisations websites, including Guyana Forestry Commission. She can also be found to make references to and quote both K.N and S.N. Quoting days, dates and issues and pages. Therefore I find it very strange that Ms. Bulkan has this long list of unanswered questions especially when G.F.0 has made it clear that most of that information can be accessed by simply visiting their website. I am beginning to wonder whether Ms. Bulkan only visits the website conveniently.
As recent as Saturday issue (Nov 14th) PG 4 Ms. Bulkan castigates the APNU/AFC Government for, as she puts it “Allowing Chinese Transitional Logger Bai Shan Lin (BSL) to continue its rapacious unsustainable logging of furniture and flooring lumber for export.” (SN Nov 14th). Ms. Bulkan continues in the same article ranting about the amount of money (US 20 million) that she claims BSL has made from export. She further goes on to “Remind this company (BSL) and the Coalition Government APNU/AFC of the manifesto commitment published “Just a few months ago”.
I want to remind Ms. Bulkan about (3) three things. Firstly, the Coalition Government is “Only a few months old” lots of things still has to be put in place. Secondly, I want to remind Ms. Bulkan that G.F.0 is and has always been among the top three (3) leading financial earners for this country or Government offers. This fact has been conferred on numerous interviews on “Plain Talk” between Raymand Gaskin and Christopher Ram. Thirdly, I would like to remind Ms. Bulkan that a prominent and reputable organisation namely I.T.T.O has debunked her findings as false, malicious and misleading. Joseph Kendall
