Dear Editor,
I write to dismiss Rohee’s proposition, in his letter of June 20, that ‘Vincent Alexander was parachuted into the Ministry of Education, unbeknownst to the WPA, to understudy Minister Roopnarine’. Having been relieved of the position of General Secretary of the PPP and consequentially of the press coverage now enjoyed by Jagdeo, Rohee has taken to letter writing and pontificating on the inner workings of political parties, other than his own. It is however, quite apparent that his postulations are sometimes unfounded, presumptuous and even mischievous, as will be made obvious from what I have to say.
Alexander’s sojourn at the Ministry of Education was at the direct and personal request of Dr. Roopnarine. Hence, I was appointed as Technical Facilitator, a pre-existing position, to the Minister. As a consequence of his removal and as a matter of ethics, protocol and best practices, his removal, in my judgement, automatically brings my sojourn to an end, and so shall it be. I was not parachuted into the Ministry by some other force nor was I under studying Dr. Roopnarine.
This however has no bearing on unrelated appointments that I hold in the education or other sectors, e.g Chairman of the National Accreditation Council. May I take this opportunity to remind Rohee and the public that as of 2007 I have not been a member of any political party nor an aspirant to office in any political party. May I take this opportunity to renew my invitation to Rohee, now that he is no longer General Secretary of the PPP, to have non-partisan discourse on matters of national interest.
Vincent Alexander
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
