‘My professional record speaks for itself’

Dear Editor,

I thought I had adequately addressed President Bharrat Jagdeo reckless allegations on March 10, 2011 (‘President misrepresented record of accomplishment,’ SN), but I guess not.

Mr Jagdeo was quoted as making an allegation that “Singh has been fired five times from five different places for stealing… He has done this over and over.”

Well for his information, Sasenarine Singh worked on three occasions with the Government of Guyana, so it has to be a really unintelligent government that hires a person, then fires them and then hires them and then fires them, not one time, not two times, but three times.

But this ‘fuse blow-out moment’ is  nothing other than a red herring for desperate people who have suddenly realized the end is near, the final curtain is here.

I have in my possession a signed copy of a letter from the Ministry of Agriculture accepting my resignation, so it is either people are being mis-advised or they are true propagandists.

I have the evidence that I was in full receipt of my vacation allowance and full gratuity.

Therefore, the government has got to be mad if it fired someone and then paid them a full vacation allowance and gratuity.

Rather than minding my business, people in the ruling party should be concerning themselves with how they will account in a matter of weeks, for the expenditure on their extravagant homes.

Rather than minding my business, people will have to answer to the people as to why they deferred the passage of a pension law until after the death of Janet Jagan.

Did she say “I will have none of this once I am alive”?

The President is very good at being nasty and childish. I dare him to provide the evidence that I have been fired 5 times.  He should either put up or shut up.

My professional record speaks for itself. I will not engage at the President’s level but choose to deal with issues.

For me, I thank the President for energizing me as I recommit myself to the struggle of removing the barriers to Guyana’s development.

My vision is that Guyana will one day be the Singapore of the Americas. I am convinced that the likes of Mr Jagdeo cannot accomplish this.

I wish him well in his last hours in his capacity as President and feel sorry for him as the hours become minutes and the minutes become seconds.  I rest my case.

Yours faithfully,
Sasenarine Singh
