Dear Editor,
The assertion in your August 1, 2015 edition in article captioned “GuySuCo must bring costs down to remain alive” in excerpt that states “Jairam Pitam (correct spelling should be Petam), former Human Resources Director will be answering questions” reportedly on Thursday is plainly wrong.
The fact of the matter is that I am on a short visit to Guyana for purely personal reason, and Mr. Nowrang Persaud, a member of the GuySuCo Commission of Inquiry (COI) having known that I am here asked if I could oblige meeting the COI on Thursday, July 30 at 2.30 pm at the Ministry of Agriculture Boardroom and elaborate on the letter that I wrote which your newspaper published on June 23, 2015, and which you carried as a full page article the next day, and to share my own thoughts on the problems facing the sugar industry given my long career with GuySuCo as an Agriculture Line Manager and Director of Human Resources and Industrial Relations.
Despite my initial reluctance to meet with the COI, which I made clear to Mr. Persaud, due to the several unsavory, or rather despicable incidences that informed me to opt for early retirement, I voluntarily conceded with the request, with the sugar industry at heart, and met with the COI on the scheduled date and time and made a full presentation that was well received by the Commissioners.
I, therefore, wish to be pellucid that I was not requested by the COI to “answer questions” nor am I in Guyana at the request of the COI.
Jairam Petam
