I FIRST wish to congratulate President David Granger on his election as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and to wish him every success.

I know that these first days will be very difficult, especially with the intense lobbying and jockeying for positions.
I therefore wish to suggest to President Granger that he may do well to heed the words of Investment Guru, Warren Buffett, who, speaking ‘On the importance of Ethics’, said: “When looking for managers, I basically look for three things – integrity, intelligence and energy. The problem is that if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. Why? Because if someone doesn’t have integrity, you really want them to be dumb and lazy. It is only if they have the first, that the second two really count.”
Good luck Mr. President!
