IT seems Janette Bulkan is up to her usual amateurish rhetoric self to gain ill-gotten publicity from making baseless claims in relation to Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy and other social issues even after being provided publicly with information to clarify her concerns. Her recent outburst, once again, is a ploy to get international recognition. She continues to flaunt her own hidden self-interest as well-meaning civil society analytical work under the guise that she is looking out for the interest of the Guyanese people.

I would like to restate, “you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”

Janette, your charade will come to an end as the Guyanese people are seeing your actions which are not reflective of your words. And sooner than later the international donors that flourish you with luxury will be withdrawn as you continue to make cheap attempts to justify your existence without any following.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind the Guyanese public and the few that she has in her clutches, of her lack of patriotism which was revealed when she accepted the Surinamese Readiness Preparation Proposal under the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, with the New River Triangle areas excised from Guyana’s boundaries and appended to Suriname’s.

Where was her patriotism in bringing this point to the attention of the relevant officials? What can one say: that she was ignorant and did not notice it? Or perhaps one should accept without query her explanation that it was not her job to do so, but to collect a hefty consultancy fee for work that she was not capable for.

Who, in their wildest dream in Guyana, can consider Bulkan to be an expert on forestry or social issues?

Further, no clear evidence of non-patriotism could have come from any other source but her. In the very defence of her actions, she clearly did not see herself as needing to do anything patriotic for Guyana. However, she pretends to be someone of high moral standing especially in issues of protecting rights of people.

In closing, lip service is definitely atop on Bulkhan’s agenda and she has mastered the art of deception and political propaganda. Janette Bulkan, you have exposed yourself on numerous occasions to the public, take pride and retreat quietly.
