IT is now safe to say that Mr. K.Juman Yassin, President of the Guyana Olympic Association has led and paved the way towards “Transparency and Accountability” in Guyana. That having been done via his SN correspondence captioned “All our statements have been audited” dated May 6, 2012. As a sports enthusiast, I am extremely grateful to this gentleman for standing up and clearing the air by Chartered Accountant, Mr. Christopher Ram’s and SN. It also now appears to me that all has not been lost.

2012 designated as the year of the 30th Olympiad in London has also proved that Mr. K. Juman Yassin has earned that golden moment. Not that it is of any interest to him, but at the end of his Presidency as head of the GOA, I foresee a national award being bestowed on him for his service to this nation.
On the other hand, I honestly believe that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would be very proud for the representation he has made on behalf of the head office and it would not surprise me to learn one day that he has been invited to serve on the international panel of the IOC. That again, would be a proud moment for me at least.

The rush should now be on for all other Presidents of Sports Associations in Guyana to follow Mr. K.Juman Yassin and go on record via the dailies and educate the entire nation about accountability and transparency for the respective associations they represent. This will definitely help the public at large to grasp a deeper understanding on the systems in sports.

Another achievement regarding sports in Guyana would be to witness who can stand proud on the left and right sides of Mr.K.Juman Yassin.

Take note, His Excellency, Mr. Donald Ramotar and Dr. Frank Anthony, Minister of Sports.
