FROM the reports in the dailies over the past few days and as a sports enthusiast, I take this moment to congratulate Col. John Lewis on his appointment as President of the Guyana Rugby Football Union(GRFU). It was during the NACRA competition and under the Presidency of Mr. Kit Nascimento that I was encouraged to go visit and show my support which I did and I did enjoy the viewing at the National Stadium…It is indeed a very tough and challenging sport and in my opinion one has to have “guts” in taking up such a sport..

Col. J.Lewis, my expectation is for you to serve the post of presidency with extreme distinction and accountability and transparency should be at an all-time high. In doing so, I honestly believe that is healthy growing and everyone who comes under the umbrella of the (GRFU) will be proud of your leadership role with the support of your committee members…Such an image could very well attract a higher level of support from the business community, which is extremely vital for the development of the sport..

After the first year of your presidency is completed, a great start would be to learn that an audited financial report was produced for the GRFU and submitted to all club heads, the Ministry of Sport, sponsors and any other affiliate….

Mr.K.Juman Yassin, President of the Guyana Olympic Association(GOA) has just lived up to my expectations with his SN report about GOA”S financial records being audited and you also have a responsibility to follow suit for the best interest of the committee, sponsors and supporters….

Make me proud like Mr.K.J.Yassin did.
