DEAR EDITOR,
I have observed some staff of the CARICOM Secretariat leaving home at 9 am for work. Some are senior persons. The staff at CARCIOM Secretariat are among the highest paid in Guyana with many allowances. The CARICOM Secretariat is like the Guyana public Service where most persons arrive at work after 9 am. What are the working hours for the CARICOM Secretariat? Due to the culture that obtains, if a senior person goes to work late, the juniors will definitely follow. This has led to a loss of productivity that pervades our society.
Many CARICOM Secretariat staff reportedly purchase high end vehicles using duty free concessions obtained from the CARICOM Secretariat but some do not go to work with these vehicles. Instead there are reports that family members are seen using these vehicles or some other persons. CARICOM Secretariat should enforce the policy that staff must go to work with the vehicles.
The Government of Guyana post March 2, 2020 must examine what is to be gained in Guyana continuing to part of CARICOM. The CCJ ruling on the NCM is but another example of CARICOM lack of objectivity and irrelevance. One wonders what is the criteria for hiring by the CARICOM Secretariat. If it just friends and family who can talk a good talk? Should it not be persons with a track record of delivering results? The CARICOM Secretariat seems to be going round in circle with just a few institutions established which are ineffective in many instances.
Sincerely,
Harris Singh
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
