Why not recruit Diaspora skills?

Feb 08, 2021 Letters

Editor,
Why is this government not tapping into the talents of outstanding scholars in the diaspora. There is no shortage of Guyanese talent abroad in virtually every field, providing service to enrich the ABCE countries and the islands of the Caribbean. Yet hardly any skilled Guyanese has been recruited or consulted by the government to assist with planning for development.
Drs. Tarron Khemraj, Ramesh Gampat, Randy Persaud, Baytoram Ramharack, Vishnu Bisram, among others, are among the finest economists or political scientists and also champions of democracy. They spoke out against and or lobby governments against the electoral fraud during the five months of attempts by APNU to rig the elections. They may even provide services for free. Yet, this government has not shown any appreciation in seeking their expertise to guide socio-economic and political development or how to prevent future electoral fraud. Is this government fearful of outside talent? Does anyone from within feel threatened by expertise from the diaspora?
Yours truly,
Boysie Mangru
