Dear Mr. Editor,
I read an article in the printed daily of Wednesday 20th February, 2013 wherein Mr. Odinga Lumumba exposed the startling revelation of Dr. Thakur, UG Lecturer’s presentation to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Cricket.
Thakur’s pronouncement reportedly states that 70% of the management personnel in Berbice cricket come from the African community and as a consequence is largely responsible for the underdevelopment of Berbice Cricket.
In my view Dr. Thakur – by whatever measuring rod – cannot make such definitive assertions that impact negatively on the ethnicity of officials/persons.
This is more dangerous when one recognises that Dr. Thakur is a University Lecturer who is expected to instruct and guide our future leaders and must be more responsible.
I learnt also that Dr. Thakur has been recently appointed to the new illegal Guyana Cricket Board as its “Educator Executive”. By his ready acceptance he obviously feels comfortable within this unlawful body, given its ethnic composition, and notwithstanding the lack of cricketing acumen amongst its so called Executive members.
For the records Dr. Thakur must know that Berbice has been extremely productive in monitoring and developing its players both male and female over the years.
The body has continuously produced players to the Guyana and West Indies Cricket Teams.
I therefore call on all self-respecting Guyanese to condemn such utterances by Mr. Thakur; they are unacceptable divisive and totally against the spirit of one people, one nation, one Destiny.
