Debunking Yusuf’s lies

Mar 20, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

I draw attention to the drivel published in a recent letter published on 15th March in the KN, by one Haseef Yusuf, captioned “The PPP/C achieved mission impossible when they embarked on the resurrection of Rose Hall Estate.”

Editor, it boggles my mind to see the absolute nonsense written in that very long letter and I find it frightening that anyone would believe the fabrications written therein. One must also ponder the fact that this is a current employee of the Guyana Sugar Corporation, praising through numerous misrepresentations and outright lies, the very poorly-run organisation he is working in, and he either does not understand the situation of how badly run what he is praising is, or even more frightening, he has such disrespect for the intelligence of the public that he believes that he can perpetuate such untruths without consequences.

To address the true situation of GuySuCo, we merely have to ask, now that the impossible has been achieved, and Rose Hall Estate is making its targets etc. How much it is costing the citizens of this country to produce one pound of sugar at that now reopened Estate?

Also, Editor how can it be that the highest production of our sugar industry in the past 5 years, was in 2020 when nearly 88,000 tonnes was achieved, compared to now, with this inspired leadership and massive subventions this man seeks to tell us about, has resulted in a production of only 47,000 tonnes in 2024, the lowest in our history.

To answer the mountain of lies, half-truths, misrepresentations and misinterpretation this letter writer signed his name to, I am entitled to ask just one other question, is it right to take 19 billion dollars of taxes from the poor taxpaying citizens of this country, just to pay a few hundred people 1.8 billion? That is, robbing the many to give more to the few. Wouldn’t a better plan be to just give the workers the 1.8 billion and the rest of the people in Guyana the 17.2 billion this has costed them?

Editor, I don’t feel inclined to waste my time repudiating the mountain of lies contained in that one letter.  I know that we are a people who treasure our freedom of speech rights, but really, was publishing such nauseating drivel necessary?

Sincerely

Tony Vieira
