Dear Editor,
My sympathy is with Dr Ramayya who campaigned with the coalition and saw them winning the general elections in 2015. However, with the recent revelations made by Dr Ramayya which were printed in the media, I am somewhat disappointed with the stand he has taken and would like to remind him of an old Guyanese saying, “Nah who you do good for, does do back good for you.” Dr Ramayya should also be very careful about how he handles the situation, lest people feel that his vigorous campaigning was about getting a ministerial position with the government, and now that this has not happened he feels disenfranchised. It could be construed that Dr Ramayya was not putting Guyana first, but rather seeking personal advancement.
I can recall a certain individual who migrated from Canada to join a political party with the promise that should the party which was in opposition at the time win the upcoming election he would be given a ministerial position. The party won the election but that individual was never given the position that was promised to him. So bitter and disappointed was he that he became very critical of his party.
The news of the sacking of GPL’s CEO came as no surprise, since Mr Dindyal did not enjoy the support of some staff members at GPL. We cannot fault the present government in parting company with Mr Dindyal if one can recall what had happened to Mr Steve Bovell. He was dismissed from his position as CEO of GEC even though he was doing a fine job in the view of the government of the day on the grounds that he was being paid a super salary.
Yours faithfully,
Colin Gill
