The Private Sector Commission is politicised
Dear Editor,
The main reason that the Giftland Group keeps its distance from the PSC, cocktail circles and other such organizations, is due to the heavy politicization of these Agencies to follow narrow political objectives and not for the broader good of its members.
The PSC under Boyer has shown its colors royally; the Commission standing up for Movie Towne is understandable up to the point where our Commissioner of GRA spoke highlighting that fraud and breaches to the Laws of Guyana had transpired.
At that time it needed solid thoughtful, independent, nonpartisan and intelligent leadership. Boyer failed miserably to properly analyze the situation and make responsible decision and actions.
Instead of attacking me and defending Movie Towne, Boyer should have hit the pause button, listen and despite himself digest what our Commissioner was saying, then come out and state categorically to let the Forensic Audit and investigations proceed.
The Commission could have made a statement perhaps to the effect that the PSC would stand behind whatever is right and if these breaches occurred as described by the Commissioner then these were wrong and that the Giftland Group has proper cause for concern.
Boyer’s has failed to understand that he represents a greater cross-section of the business society who are no longer cowed, intimidated , and who will not be forced to go along narrow political ends.
The PCS General elections are due today. I await to see if he has the backing of his membership with his reckless assault on the Giftland Group.
With Regards,
Roy Beepat
Chairman
Giftland Group.
