Dear Editor,
AS A businessman whose company is a member of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, I would like to point out a few things that bother me:
1.Why are there so many letters from every wannabe political pundit on the majority issue? The courts have ruled, and no number of letters will change that. Let us get on with our work while we await the CCJ ruling.

2. I am so disappointed at the recent statements made by the incoming Chamber leadership. No businessman worth his salt would make investment decisions based on ‘political stability’. He would look at the opportunity and do his feasibility study. One gets the impression that among the Chamber leadership are individuals whose businesses did extremely well under friends in previous Governments and who are bitter now that things are being done differently.

They secured prime properties in the Ruimveldt Industrial Estate, at Farm on the East Bank, both of which were working factories and have now been converted into warehouses, along with prime housing lands just outside Central Georgetown. These were all acquired for a song, yet they are not contented and are upset that they cannot get more from this Government.

3. The leadership of the Private sector bodies have some of the best brains in Guyana, but with leadership must come responsibility. They need to change from their rapacious way of thinking to a developmental one, and engage the Government in constructive dialogue on visionary matters, for example, an infrastructure development plan for the entire country.
Sadly, I foresee that this is a pipe dream, and I am considering resigning from the Chamber.

Sincerely,
Disappointed businessman
