I WISH to refer to ‘In the Diaspora column’ of Stabroek News under the caption, “The rule of law – what Guyana loses through export of timber logs to Asia” by Janette Bulkan, in its issue of Monday February 6, 2012. Kindly allow me to state the following in your letters column:

(1) Not satisfied that she has lost her mischievous agenda against Guyana’s LCDS, Janette Bulkan has once again emerged from her cave of doom to wickedly malign the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) where the export of timber logs to Asia is concerned. But Bulkan, an unpatriotic Guyanese now living abroad has definitely been transformed into a serf for local and foreign rascals who are currently waging an anti-government of Guyana agenda and more particularly its LCDS. But the great spirit knows that Bulkan’s vendetta against Guyana will continue to fail.

(2) But Bulkan, instead of pursuing unpatriotic machinations against Guyana, should occupy herself with the task of reviving her family’s furniture exporting business in Georgetown which has collapsed using her forest expertise. Or is it because of Bulkan’s expert advice that her family’s business is staggering for survival.

(3) Bulkan is a failure. But she is stubborn not to lift her head from the sand. She failed in her management plan for the conservation of forest in the Waini, NWD of Guyana and failed in the effective production of a forest certification scheme for Guyana.

(4) Bulkan also failed in effectively advising Suriname, a participant country of the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) on its original Readiness Preparation proposal (RPP) and, as a result, Suriname failed its RPP. However, what was noteworthy about Suriname’s RPP maps which Bulkan turned a blind eye to due to her unpatriotic behaviour  towards Guyana was that the New River Triangle, a portion of Guyana’s territory was featured on those maps giving the false impression that the said portion of land is part of Suriname’s territory. Bulkan who worked with the World Bank section that deals with the RPP of participant countries of the FCPF had her services terminated upon request by the Government of Guyana for working against the interests of Guyana where its REDD+ Initiative is concerned to combat Global Climate Change.

(5) But it is said that the devil finds work for its disciples to do. Bulkan now has a problem with the GFC and GRA in accusing these bodies of loosing financially where the export of timber logs to Asia is concerned. Based on Bulkan’s track record of failures, I am of the view that she is totally incompetent to make pronouncements on the work of the GFC in the management of Guyana’s Forest Estate.

(6) Bulkan’s analysis to justify her claims against the GFC that is losing as a result of timber logs export to Asia is totally flawed or misleading, as a result of unsubstantiated evidence based on her poor research methodology.

(7) But while Bulkan is wickedly claiming that the GFC is losing as a result of logs export to Asia, the Government of Guyana congratulated the GFC for a very good performance for the year 2011.
