Dear Editor,
THE main reason that the Giftland Group keeps its distance from the Private Sector Commission (PSC) cocktail circles and other such organisations is due to the heavy politicisation of these agencies to follow narrow political objectives and not for the broader good of its members.

The PSC under Boyer has shown its colours royally, the commission standing up for Movie Towne is understandable up to the point where commissioner of the GRA spoke highlighting that fraud and breaches to the laws of Guyana had transpired. At that time it needed solid, thoughtful, independent, non-partisan and intelligent leadership; Boyer failed miserably on properly analysing the situation and making responsible decisions and actions.

Instead of attacking me and defending Movie Towne, Boyer should have hit the pause button, listen and digest what the commissioner was saying, then come out and state categorically to let the Forensic Audit and investigations proceed. Making a statement perhaps to the effect that the PSC would stand behind whatever is right and if these breaches have occurred as described by the commissioner, then these were wrong and that the Giftland Group has proper cause for concern. Boyer has failed to understand that he represents a greater cross-section of the business society who are no longer cowed and intimidated , and who will not be forced to go along narrow political ends.

The PCS election is on Thursday 21st June. I await to see if he has the backing of his membership with his reckless assault on the Giftland Group.
Regards,

Roy Beepat
Chairman
Giftland Group
