Accountability is a given expectation

Feb 08, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor

Kaieteur News – It was shocking to read of a fire in the control room at the recently rebuilt and reopened Albion Sugar Estate, allegedly last Saturday, (SN Feb 7). The photograph which accompanied the report showing severe damage to the control room is quite telling. But what is of more concern since Saturday, there has been no statement from the company on this incident involving taxpayers’ monies, until now. And an almost flippant, non-response as reported, points that putting this matter in the public domain was not the preferred way.

Billions have been injected and earmarked for the sugar company. Accountability is a given expectation not when and if it pleases the company or its masters.

Sincerely
Shamshun Mohamed
