Sasenarine Singh singing for his supper

Nov 07, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Reference is made to a letter in the Guyanese Press written by Mr. Sasenarine Singh where he condemns a Report by the United Nations environmental programme titled, ‘Is Natural Gas a good investment for Latin America and The Caribbean?’

The letter writer states in his letter:

“The UN Report sought to lecture the Latin American countries on what they should and should not do concerning their energy development plan. But history will prove that this same UN conveniently chose not to steer China, India, Europe, Australia and North America for too many decades away from their climate destructive energy development plan. The mainstream environmentalists have labelled these plans as the primary cause for the current destruction of the environment.”

The comprehensive report which draws data from various countries in the named Region makes a compelling, supported, and quite cohesive argument that seeks to present n it’s executive summary three areas, emissions, costs and job creation; as to why renewable energy is recommended compared to the use of natural gas and current sources of electricity generation, heating and power with three countries case studies of Argentina, Panama and Grenada.

The letter closes with this statement:

“Enough said, but I cannot, without a clear conscience, remain silent on an economically and scientifically sound attempt by Dr. Jagdeo to provide lower cost and more reliable energy to this nation using a ‘bridge fuel’ called natural gas which is in abundance in our jurisdiction. Every patriotic, pro-Guyana, progressive Guyanese must stand up and support the Wales-based Gas-to-Shore Power Generation Project. I call on all Guyanese to put all of our energies into completing it before 2024.”

Mr. Sasenarine Singh, who referred to himself as an international financial analyst in the past, such ubiquitous outburst does not merit a response here except to say in 2015 if I may recall that when he was with the Alliance For Change supporting the then Coalition Government of Guyana withholding vital information from the Guyanese nation, said that the people must have confidence and trust in its Government to which I wrote on social media in response that it is actually the other way around.

This political novice is clearly singing for his supper and is constantly embroiled in agonizing bouts of incompetency in the politically implanted position as the Chief Executive Officer of Guyana Sugar Corporation by Mr. Bharat Jagdeo, the Vice President of Guyana who is the defacto President and simply directs the show. A rational line of thought would be the hope that he is able to rise above the incriminating morass and lead Guysuco into the future. Here Mr. Sasenarine Singh attempts to add to the public vocal support of Mr. Bharat Jagdeo who has violated all norms of professional decency and integrity and the architect of colossal failures for almost two decades in a litany of horrendous waste of taxpayers’ funds.

Such colossal failures by Mr. Bharat Jagdeo over a span of two decades that includes the inexplicable and adamant refusal to renegotiate the abysmal oil contract signed by the previous Government of Guyana (of equivalent corrupt status) in 2016 by Mr. Raphael Trotman that steals desperately needed funds for Guyanese families and attempts to defend this outrageous atrocity with the horrendous defense of ‘sanctity of contract’, refusal to make public agreements and contracts made with the Government and foreign entities and lies with circular arguments at every turn and the list goes on.

These statements of mine here can be defended in a Canadian court of law.
