Dear Editor,
Recently, it was reported that Mr Raj Singh is the Chairman of GuySuCo and travels to Guyana on a monthly basis with all expenses paid. Editor, I wonder when the PPP government will come to their senses and stop this largesse to people like Mr Singh, who definitely does not deserve it. What qualifies Mr Singh to be the Chairman of GuySuCo? Is it because he’s been the head of the Association of Concerned Guyanese (ACG) – a PPP group in New York for the longest while? What business company has he been Chairman of before in the USA because he has never run anything here?
How can he be Chairman of GuySuCo when he does not live here? How good a friend is he of former President Jagdeo? He was put on the board by Mr Jagdeo and sat there while GuySuCo fell apart. Why should Guyanese taxpayers pay him when there are far more qualified persons right here in Guyana?
Editor, the more I live in Guyana , the more I am amazed at the brazen attitudes some people have towards the Guyanese people.
We all expected real changes with Mr Ramotar but when one looks at Mr Singh and what he’s getting, we can see the same old patterns of rule which we hoped would change. The opposition parties should have a closer look at Raj Singh and he should be made to appear before a select committee to answer personal questions and relate his qualifications for this all important job as Chairman of GuySuCo. Parliament should also examine his monetary package and expenditures on his behalf by GuySuCo.
Yours faithfully,
Cheddi (Joey) Jagan (Jr)
