Disappointed in APNU commissioners nominations for GECOM CEO

Nov 24, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – Even as the discussion continues on local content in Guyana, I am registering my disappointment that APNU Commissioners did not see it fit to nominate at least one Guyanese for CEO post of GECOM. How can we cry that Guyanese must be given the opportunities yet when the time comes, we choose not to select them?

Now that there is a list, with 6 from PPP side and 3 from APNU, my wish is for a Guyanese to have the post of CEO. As reported in some newspapers, I am left with the option of recommending Mr. Deodat Persaud for the post. From the Stabroek News report, he is both qualified and has the experience. There has been some reservations about the other two Guyanese candidates. Moving forward, it would be good at this junction, as the best candidate would be Mr. Deodat Persaud.

I am happy that a youth has come forward bravely to throw his hat in the ring. This is exactly what this country needs at this time. Recall our President, Minister Manickand, MP Ganesh Mahipal, Chairman of Region 4, are all young people who are doing well; with the two former starting out their careers in their youth stage. Let’s give the youth a chance.

Regards
Sam White
