Questions about the leadership of Mr. Hanoman

Oct 04, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I must admit that I found GuySuCo’s recent press statement decrying the workers strike actions in recent days as nothing more than the shedding of crocodile tears.
The statement, in my view, is largely a repetition of what the sugar company said a few days prior where it sought to defend its miserable management of the industry which ultimately will affect the lives of thousands of poor, ordinary Guyanese.
GuySuCo is seeking to squarely lay and firmly blame for the industry’s current state-of-affairs at the doorstep of the workers and their unions.
But this seems to be a much muddied picture and given the age of the current GuySuCo hierarchy hallucination is not farfetched, as the reality demonstrates a completely different picture.
As is generally known, the sugar cane plant operates on a one-year cycle; therefore, meaning what is reaped this year was planted and tended last year. It is important that we bear in mind this point as we evaluate the leadership of the Corporation in recent times. Of the three (3) CEOs, under Mr Hanoman’s ‘leadership’, the industry’s average production is 192,955 tonnes sugar, assuming the 2017 target is met. Messrs Bhim and Singh, during their stints, had average sugar of 214,347 tonnes and 231,071 tonnes, respectively. The facts speak for themselves.
Quite clearly, whenever Mr Hanoman is the leader of GuySuCo the sugar industry takes a nosedive. This, in my mind, says a lot of about a gentleman, who has been entrusted with $32B from the State since June, 2015.
The Government and the Board need to ask themselves; do they have the best person in charge of the industry? As his record certainly isn’t reflective that he is!
