Dear Editor,

WHILE I may be somewhat overdue, allow me to extend hearty congratulations to President Irfaan Ali and his government on their ascension to office after five painstaking months. The new government, I see, has hit the ground running and obviously recognises the impactful damage inflicted by the Coalition.

While I am happy about these developments, as someone who is concerned about GuySuCo, it appears that not sufficient attention is being paid in this direction. I hope I am wrong but my sources inside the corporation are telling me the many expensive, high-paid, executive pensioners remain on the job while the GuySuCo continues to slide further and further.

I look to Minister Mustapha, who I know has been thrown into the deep end, to pull the company out of the morass created by his predecessor. We look forward Mr. President to you too taking firm control and ensuring that this industry, which supports the livelihoods of so many, is not allowed to fall more than it finds itself.

Yours faithfully

Patricia Persaud
