Are there no government positions for Dr. Yog Mahadeo and Mr. Sase Gunraj?

DEAR EDITOR,
The new government has an unenviable task to bring Guyana out of the pit of bankruptcy and corruption to one where Guyanese can breathe free once again, where there is no fear of a devaluation of the dollar and rise in cost of living, where subsidies to the elderly is once again a reality as well as school grants and employment opportunities.
Editor, we have seen new faces in the cabinet.
We cannot say we agree with all the choices but, like most Guyanese, we will give them a chance to perform, believing that Dr. Irfaan Ali and Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo chose wisely.
Some ministers are well qualified but some have baggage (we hope they have learnt from their past indiscretions to not repeat the same mistakes).
Whilst we, like most Guyanese, will wait before we judge, we still have unanswered questions in mind.
Why there is no place in the government for persons like Dr. Yog Mahadeo and Mr. Sase Gunraj? These individuals contributed greatly to the final result that we got. And they are eminently qualified.
Dr. Mahadeo was fearless in calling out the APNU+AFC, the GECOM Chair, the Commissioners and the International Community.
The only other persons who were as vociferous were Dr. Jagdeo and Mr. Anil Nandlall. However, what made Dr. Mahadeo’s contributions more significant and impactful, is that he was not on a list and therefore had no political interest in the PPP/C winning the seat of power.
He was simply fighting for democracy and for the will of the Guyanese people to be respected.
He did so fearlessly, knowing that he put his life and the life of his family in great danger.
Dr. Mahadeo successfully brought to his Room 592 programme, on the independent Kaieteur Radio, local politicians, former heads of state, diplomats, senior counsel, prominent lawyers, Ex-state department officials and many more.
His was the only programme with this calibre and variety of persons. He, on a daily basis, was hammering home the need for democracy to prevail and he helped to internationalize the struggle.
We are sure that Dr. Mahadeo through Kaieteur Radio and with his co-host Mr. Gildarie, played an important role in restoring our democracy.
Dr. Mahadeo is eminently qualified in Finance and Telecommunications. He should be offered the post of Minister of Finance or Head of the GRA or the Head of the Telecommunications Section of that Ministry.
Mr. Gunraj stood up and was the voice of the “opposition nominated’ commissioners during the long period of torture we went through.
He was the voice that effectively gave the other side of the story and he shared the information on Room 592 with Dr. Mahadeo.
He has proven to be knowledgeable and to be no ‘push-over’. He will make an excellent Speaker of the Parliament of Guyana.
Dr. Ali and Dr. Jagdeo, show Guyana and the world that not only supporters and party loyalists can work with you.
Show that you also utilize the skills that are available. These two gentlemen are way above the rest out there and their contributions and dedication to GUYANA are unquestionable!
