You are obviously a comedian with an inclination or natural tendency to behave in a particular way.

Ramraj defends Homenauth’s removal

-calls NAREI services ‘the worst ever’

Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture Madanlall Ramraj has defended the ministry’s decision to replace National Agricultural Research & Extension Institute (NAREI) head Dr Oudho Homenauth, claiming that the agency has not performed as expected despite the continued investment that has been made into its work.

“We have started to revamp. NAREI extension was the worst ever. You [the media] have joined us several times across this country in our visits. You heard of the problems irrespective of extension services provided by NAREI,” said Ramraj, who also noted that Dr Homenauth was offered the post of advisor to Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha twice but decided against it.

Stabroek News reported on Saturday that after 20 years as head of NAREI, Dr Homenauth received what he described as an “immediate dismissal” from Ramraj on March 8.

Ramraj, who opined that the post of advisor would have better suited Dr Homenauth at this stage in his career, yesterday said in Berbice that after issues were highlighted across the country about NAREI’s work, the ministry made a decision to remove him.

“How they evolved and what they are doing in terms of production and productivity against rice you would see a separation,” he said, before adding that the government has not seen the “kind of improvement from NAREI as was expected given the amount of resources we have spent in NAREI….”

According to Ramraj, there has been extensive talk about the development of other and new crops but “we have not seen this come in even though the effort and funds are being made.”

He claimed that Dr Homenauth was asked twice to be advisor to the minister but refused to accept same. “Twice this was brought to him and he absolutely refused to be part of that. He said he rather go home and on that particular day I called him to give him the opportunity to [decide] whether he would be coming over to the ministry to provide that advice or wants to sever his service and he decided to go home,” he said.

Despite his criticism of NAREI’s work under Dr Homenauth’s tenure, Ramraj said he would have been an “asset” as an advisor to the minister given his years of experience.

Ramraj described Dr Homenauth’s replacement, former Guyana Rice Development Board General Secretary Jagnarine Singh, as being “more vibrant” and someone “who we think can transform NAREI. We will continue to work to ensure that our strategic plans are adhered to and that we have the right structure in place to ensure that the policies are met.”

Ramraj stressed, that with the revamp, farmers throughout Guyana will benefit as, according to him, there was no sort of motivation or interest at the top level of NAREI. “Time to have new thinking, new persons in place to ensure we meet the mandate,” Ramraj said, as he wished Dr. Homenauth all the best in his future endeavours and encouraged him to “give his services where [they are] best suited.”

While indicating that he had no intention of fighting to retain the post, Homenauth told this newspaper that he was not comfortable with the way government has sought to disguise what happened to him. It has been claimed that Homenauth had been offered a post at the Ministry and chose to leave but the agronomist is denying this claim.

“Last Monday [March 8] I was called to a meeting by the Director General at the Ministry and was told that this is my last day at NAREI,” he said.

“He [Ramraj] said it was a directive from above that he had tried and the Minister had tried but they had no luck and that they would try to find a place at the Ministry for me. I said, ‘What are you talking about? This is a dismissal! You are dismissing me!’ And I left the meeting at around 2:30 and returned to the institute. I then went home after work and called one of the staff to tell them I had been informed I was no longer CEO so they would have to send someone to collect the institute’s vehicle the next day,” Homenauth explained.

He repeatedly stressed that the Ministry provided him with no explanation for the decision and as far as he is aware there was no complaint about his performance of his duties.

Homenauth said that he was most proud of how the work of the institute over the last two decades has positively affected the availability of food.

So according to the director general, Homenauth was a fk up who didn't improve the agency enough, and the agency is in need of "new thinking".

Yet they are willing to take this alleged "fk up" Homenauth and make him an "advisor". If you need "new thinking" why would you bring in the leader of the allegedly failed management team as an "advisor"? If you need "new thinking" what makes you think that the old regime led by Homenauth has any?

Are these PPP people fking jokers or what?

Final witness testifies against former GRDB heads


Special Prosecutor Patrice Henry, who is working for the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), yesterday called his final witness to testify in the trial of two former officials of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), who are facing charges of fraudulent conversion and misappropriation.

Jagnarine Singh and Madanlall Ramraj

The defendants are former General Manager of the Guyana Rice Development Board, Jagnarine Singh, and former Deputy General Manager, Madanlall Ramraj.
Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty is presiding in the trial, which is being conducted in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. Attorney-at-law Glenn Hanoman is representing the two men.
The alleged fraud took place between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. There are 17 charges of keeping fraudulent accounts, 16 for fraudulent appropriation and five for the falsification of accounts.
The final witness, Corporal Fizal Ali of SOCU, yesterday took the stand and exhausted his evidence to the court.
His evidence was based on having an interview with the two defendants and putting certain documents to them. Singh and Ramraj were allowed to give an explanation as to why their signatures were affixed to the documents. They were then arrested and told of the allegations against them.
On the next occasion that the matter is called, Ali will be cross-examined by defence counsel. The matter was adjourned to the day after elections which is March 3, next.
Four other officials have had their cases dismissed based on insufficient evidence led by the prosecution. They had all pleaded not guilty to the charges that were put to them.
Former accountant Peter Ramcharran’s matter is still before the court.

So what do these 2 guys know about agricultural research, hmmm? Anybody know?

That doesn't matter! What matters is that a new venue for corruption was found for Jag's boys! Ramraj and Singh, a team made in PPP heaven! Who needs or wants any old honest agronomist? Bloody old fool!

Mits, what was the outcome of the trial? SOCU proved its PNC  ineptness again?

Is summary dismissal now the reward for loyalty and service?

Dear Editor,

It was a cold morning in No. 67 Village on Saturday as the small shower cascaded down the Corentyne River, while fishermen at the nearby Co-op opened their ice-boxes to parley on their weekly catch. Even the house where Dr. Oudho Homenauth grew up next to the Hindu Temple was shuttered and boarded-up – unwilling, it appears, to take in the bad news.

Rumours had been floating in the community since last week that the local academic who had insisted on throwing his lot and staying in Guyana rather than migrate with his PhD colleagues to greener pastures, as most have done since the 1990s, was in trouble. It appeared that his longstanding job at NAREI had been given to someone else.

But, how come? Why? After all he had been a good foot soldier, diligent and committed to his professional skills and not a word of complaint.

Here is what we know so far: a) Dr Homenauth was informed last week Monday that his job was no longer his “Last Monday I was called to a meeting by the Director General at the Ministry and was told that this is my last day at NAREI” Dr. Homenauth, Stabroek News 13th March, 2021); b) Stabroek News announced on the 11th March, 2021, that Dr Homenauth’s job at NAREI had been given to someone else; c) Dr. Homenauth has a three-year contract signed on 1st August, 2021.

So, where is the problem? Why is Dr. Homenauth not protected by due process? Does it mean that the Ministry of Agriculture can be asked to compensate Dr. Homenauth for the three years that were promised by his contract? And, another similar sum for foregone opportunities?  

How does what Dr. Homenauth has gone through reflect on the government of Guyana seeking professional skills, especially when there are so few around? It should not have escaped the government’s attention that an estimated 79 percent of tertiary graduates leave the country after graduation. Worse still, Dr Homenauth is not any-body. He has been with the government for at least twenty years, and by all accounts provided yeoman service during that time. Is summary dismissal now the reward for loyalty and service?

Yours truly,

Rishee Thakur

Interesting. So it appears we are witnessing a return to the years of cronyism and related activities on a LARGE scale! I guess there's going to be a lot of grafting, but not of the agricultural kind.

Signed on August 1st, 2021? There's the problem! Dr. Homenauth visited and signed in the future!

Only.a Rishee can do that!

Huh?

LOL. I think it's slip of his pen. Rishi is a Dr. and lecturer at UG Corentyne and he and Dr. Homenaught are from neighboring villages.
