Jinnah Rahaman‘s appointment is huge mistake

Dec 01, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is out of concern as a citizen and resident of the West Coast Demerara district that I share my thoughts on the appointment of Rice Producers Association Action Committee member Jinnah Rahaman as a community development office within the region.
I would kindly advise Government and persons in authority that whenever making the decision to choose someone for a position in a district they should be qualified or have experience in the area of appointment since it would reflect badly on the administration.
Many in Region 3 are of the opinion that Jinnah Rahaman has the knowledge and suitability in the field that he is qualified in such as rice but not in the field of a Community Development Officer.
Let me make this clear before I proceed, I am not interested in any position, but I am interested in having proper representatives to develop the region and if there are concerns I will highlight such which are the sentiments of many others, thus causing me to pen this letter.
Now, I am of the opinion that the APNU/AFC Government does not want to be a failure in any of it endeavours or appointments in developing Guyana and pushing it to its full potential. But Mr Rahaman is not known on the West Demerara for any development whatsoever. He has not contributed or has any experience or can show any project pertaining to tangible development under his belt. I am in receipt of many complaints and person are annoyed since they do not see Mr Rahaman portfolio as a development officer as meritorious much less qualitative within the sector to boost the region.
If one is to look at the village Mr Rahaman lives in, they can judge his ability to develop a community since there is none going on where he resides, only bushes are left to develop. This is a square peg for a round hole, if Mr Rahaman is being rewarded for his support of the Government this should be done in a field that he can offer some development to and not in a field that he will add nothing substantial.
