Integrity should be the guiding quality in hiring of a CEO for GECOM

Nov 24, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – With our experiences of elections in Guyana, should Integrity not be the main quality ahead of qualification and experience when selecting the Chairman and other officers at GECOM?
Do Guyanese not deserve officials to perform their duties ethically regardless of how they are pressured to do otherwise?
In today’s world there are a vast range of experts available to give advice to decision makers. Decision makers do not necessarily have to be experts too. We as a nation need to move away from the conditioning that a person with a degree is better than one without a degree. It should not be forgotten how highly degrees-decorated individuals abandoned their professional responsibilities and codes of conduct in favour of their ‘tribes’ and we all suffer.
A degree is knowledge -tool, when used in-appropriately can be extremely harmful. Decision makers are expected to deliver the results they are employed to. This must be their sole focus, and the people’s expectation.
Put integrity first.
Yours with hope.
Muhammad Alli
