I wish to refer to an article published in the Sunday Stabroek of December 2, 2012 by Mr. Christoper Ram headlined: ‘Things we have not noticed’.

Clearly, he has not noticed that the Accountant-General is a qualified professional accountant. In fact, one wonders if he actually knows who the Accountant-General is. So clearly, he took no time to notice the cause in his haste to meet his business page article submission deadline. He failed to do his research and instead made a sweeping statement that – even the Accountant-General is unqualified. Maybe, just maybe, he has reviewed the job specification for that appointment – unknown to the Public Service Commission and as such he has raised the qualification level for the appointment. He needs to know that he is not the only qualified accountant in this country and he must refrain from publishing information that he wants to publish rather than what is the right information. If he wants to know the qualification he can do the honourable thing and research it.
