DEAR EDITOR,
Reference is made to “GuySuCo must be depoliticized to become a successful business entity” (Feb 19), among other letters. I can’t help but notice various related commentaries on the state of affairs of Ministry of Agriculture and defensive responses thus far from agents. I note also responses of defenders of the Minister, including one from a political grasshopper who was an Upper Corentyne PPP activist who became an AFC activist who is back as a PPP defender. People will do anything for a job!
The responses ring hollow. This leaves one to conclude that the Minister is trespassing on the Ministry. Such behaviour and acts of incompetence must be brought to an abrupt end.
Also, it appears that the Minister and the CEO of GuySuCo are at loggerheads. Incompetence and arrogance are rampant, worse than what occurred during the last stint of the PPP. Competence is thrown out the window once again. It can’t get worse at GuySuCo; we have reached the bottom. Not much good can come out of appointments.
Square pegs in round holes are back with a vengeance. A financial analyst or CPA is not an economist or an agro scientist. And a CPA without experience is of no use to a science, engineering based company like Guysuco. You need someone with the skill set and good human relations behaviour, not someone who is arrogant.
Yours truly,
Sharmila J Ally

Hard Truths by GHK Lall (Kaieteur News) – Guyanese should get first prize for their tolerance for bull, their bottomless reservoir of docility. And humour.
