Dr. Adams on the political platform

Dear Editor,
In 2015, Permanent Secretaries Colin Croal and Nigel Dharamlall mounted political platforms during the General Election campaign, both subsequently resigned as required by the public service rules and personal ethics; why then does Dr. Vincent Adams believe that his mounting the political platform in 2020 should not have led to his firing as head of the Environmental Protection Agency?

Attached is a photograph in which I have highlighted Dr. Adams, it is widely available on the internet (without the highlight).
At the time of his firing, Dr. Adams was an executive member of the AFC; I believe he still holds that position today.
It is also noteworthy that Dr. Adams signed 19 waivers for the Stabroek Block Oil developer (ExxonMobil) during his short tenure at the EPA.

Based on those waivers, even if Dr. Adams indicates that he is not the person highlighted in the photograph, and was not a political appointee nor aspirant, I would still be hard-pressed to take up cudgels on behalf of his claim to being dismissed without reason.
Sincerely.
Robin Singh
