Dear Editor,
The Amerindian Action Movement of Guyana (Taamog) fully supports the Government of Guyana position on the removal of Dr Janette Bulkan from the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) of the World Bank Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF).
TAAMOG is convinced that Dr Bulkan cannot be a fair assessor on the Technical Advisory Panel because of her spate of criticisms against Guyana’s Forestry Sector, the Guyana Forestry Commission, (GFC) and its officials, as well as the Minister with responsibility for the Forestry Sector and the President of Guyana who she accuses of carrying out clandestine activities. What is also important to note is that these accusations cannot be proven on the ground.
At the October 2009 Washington Meeting of the Forest Carbon Partnership facility of the World Bank, Suriname made it’s presentation on its Readiness Preparation Proposal (RPP) where it was observed and that the Map displayed by Suriname showed that the New river Triangle, a part of Guyana is included in the Map of Suriname.
Dr Bulkan reviewed Suriname’s RPP and it is very mind-boggling that Dr Bulkan did not object to this gross violation of Guyana’s Sovereignty. Certainly Dr Bulkan was not present at the Washington Meeting last October which again boggles the mind since she is a member of the Technical Advisory Panel and revised Suriname’s RPP.
What is also note worthy to mention is that some Guyanese have been forming consultancies at the International Level and net work for their personal gain, severely criticising Guyana’s Natural Resource Management Systems and State officials and when confronted with responses of accuracies, they blatantly refuse to accept their inaccuracies and misleading vendetta against Guyana.
This circle of Guyanese at the international level is therefore guilty of using Guyana for their personal enrichment.
Their level of attacks, or more so misleading campaign against Guyana LCDS and REDD + proposals at the international level are typical examples of their smear campaign against Guyana without unsubstantiated facts.
In TAAMOG’s opinion this is tantamount to gross unpatriotism.
Peter Persaud
