Private sector body condemns `racist’ attack on its chairman

The Private Sector Commission (PSC) has come out in condemnation of what they see as “the recent overt racist attack of a Government appointed GECOM Commissioner on the person of the PSC’s elected Chairman.”

According to a PSC release, on July 24, Desmond Trotman, a GECOM Commissioner and a senior member of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), on a WPA letterhead and signing his name as a GECOM Commissioner, wrote a scurrilous, racist and insulting letter to the Chairman of the Private Sector Commissioner.

The PSC pulled no punches and stated that “This disgraceful, extremely offensive and defamatory behaviour has no place in GECOM or a democratic society.”  The organisation therefore expects the government to take appropriate action with regard to what they feel is an attack on the integrity and good name of the PSC Chairman.
