Recyle!

Geet Singh - teif moh, you have a licence now.

I am not confident that Sheik Baksh is the right person for the Position. Maybe Cabinet has more Info on him than I do. However, Cabinet listen up. He has one year to turn things around(NO EXCUSES) or he must be asked to vacate the Position. Also, Why is Raj Singh a Ex officio member.?????????

This is the first example of the PPP squeeze your kind out the race.  After the finished damaging the black people, they will come for your kind YUJI, the Indian working class.

???? how much is his salary

Must be at least 25K USD per month plus perks.

 What is his management experience to earn that salary????

What experience does Shaik Baksh have in running a corporation? Could someone please post his resume.

This is just a reshuffle of the deck of cards with the PPP cronies names and faces.

Dem should put this creature on the board, He is the most qualified for the job. He has a Phd in thuggery.

My goodness. Dey couldn't find better people for the Board.

The PPP definitely made a mistake in those appointments. If you have their ears as you have said in the past, then ask them wad de razz dey doing.

Kiss Guysuco goodbye. It is done for sure now. Inexperienced ppl at all levels. None mechanically inclined nor do they have any serious business experience.

Something must be wrong with the brains in the PPP. Dey know the results of the ppl dey put on the board. Barefaced ppl.

Wait a minute doan you got to have a brain for something to be wrong wid am

Mits,when it is said you got brains..means you are smart,PPP lack some

smart's in their pack....oh i forget they have smart's to theif.

Are destroying GUYSUCO this is what the duck did.

The new Board is tolling the death knell for GuySuCo’s

Dear Editor  
It has been announced that Mr. Shaik Baksh formerly Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Water Corporation (GWI) has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), Guyana’s largest industry, based on the number of its employees.
This sad and discordant news has come at a critical juncture for the industry, particularly at a time when it is heavily indebted, unproductive and in a downward spiral. Those familiar with GuySuCo had expected that the appointment of a new Chairman and Members would have had the effect of bring unique and innovative policies to resurrect a dying industry and hopefully turn it around.
Unfortunately the Government has seen fit to appoint its Party faithfuls who have had little or no experience in the sugar industry nor management competency to turn around this vital industry. Ms. Geeta Singh-Knight was deeply involved with the CLICO debacle and served on the previously failed GuySuCo Board. Mr. Komal Chand of GAWU realized that he cannot, ‘run with the Hare and hunt with the Hound’, so he declined to serve on the new Board.
Mr. Baksh was Housing and Water Minister from 1998 to 2006 . It is claimed that during this period he revolutionized housing development in Guyana. The facts however suggest otherwise as during his tenure he oversaw housing construction at Diamond/Grove, Tuschen, Parfait/La Harmonie and elsewhere without any meaningful planned provision for infrastructures such as roads, drainage, water, electricity and recreational facilities to serve these areas. The residents could attest to this and what he did was revolutionize hap-hazard rural development, the result of which they are now suffering from.
In 2006 he was appointed Education Minister. The Guyana Times reported that during his tenure there was marked improvement in students’ performance, teachers’ reform and greater hands-on management at the Ministry. However, those familiar with his performance would attest otherwise as he oversaw schools crumbling for lack of timely repairs, teachers performing poorly because of inadequate training and students’ scores tumbling. As a result of this poor performance he was demoted by the ruling PPP and shunted off to a less demanding post – that of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GWI.
As CEO of GWI, Mr. Baksh has made no significant improvement to the operations of this company. The water supply in Georgetown is still not potable as the so called treated water is piped with a high concentration of organic matter unfit to drink. Recommended improvements to the water treatment plant at the Shelter Belt is still to be implemented while its sludge continues to be dumped with impunity into Church and Irving Streets Canals clogging the City’s drainage system.
It is therefore difficult to comprehend how Mr. Baksh, who has been a failed performer could  be entrusted to manage Guyana’s largest industry and resuscitate its fortune. The most important problem facing sugar is harvesting the crop which can only be done manually and/or mechanically. Cane cutters are a dying breed as it is an employment of last resort. It’s a dirty, back breaking job which no sane person in the 21st century would want to do. Therefore the labour force employed in cane harvesting is diminishing fast and those involved know this as they clamour for even higher wages making the industry a high cost producer. Harvesting cane by machinery in Guyana would involve the costly acquisition of equipment and conversion of the fields to accommodate them. GuySuCo with its present indebtedness cannot make these conversions since the price for sugar now and in the foreseeable future does not allow for this costly investment.
It was expected that an enlightened GuySuCo Board would be able stem the decline of the industry while alternatives are considered and implemented. Sugar production in Brazil the world’s largest producer is declining and there is no reason to believe that there will be a turnaround of the industry in Guyana given its low productivity and in-efficiency at all levels of its operation. Talks of expansion of value-added production and diversified target markets are pipe dreams as GuySuCo struggles to resolve bigger issues and fights for its survival. Those serving the industry should take notice of these developments and start heading for the hills before it’s too late. The PPP Government has struck GuySuCo’s knell.

I agree wid you sah. Ramsammy should resign as ministah and head the Dyesuco board. Obviously, he has sold his morals in believing that he loves his country. He succumbed to the PPP rubbishes.

Guysuco is doomed in the hands of these PPP fatcats. The tiefin and incompetence has driven the industry into the ground and the new board has no clue about running the sugar industry or anything else.
