Dear Editor,
Having read of President Granger’s seemingly sudden decision to rename the Convention Centre, my personal analysis leads me to believe that his decision was not well thought out.
While I have no serious objection to Mr Arthur Chung being remembered for his contributions one should note that he had already been given the highest national award, if my memory is correct.
Secondly, Mr Chung was a non-executive president with largely ceremonial responsibilities unlike subsequent presidents, and even more important he held that office during the massive rigging of elections and while the infamous 1978 referendum was held. Therefore, one could say that he turned a blind eye to these events and could possibly be deemed to have colluded with the PNC administration.
I look forward to hearing the views of your readers.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Persaud
