When Burnham had banned many imports including electronic goods, he set up a radio assembly plant in East Coast Demerara.
Using Philips radio components, Guyanese workers produced sturdy transistor radios carrying the brand name GRECO.
In 1980 I bought one of those radios and switched it on every day for more than 12 hours. I woke up listening to it in the morning and went to bed listening to it. After working that way for 11 long years the tuning knob became shaky and produced a lot of static noise and I stopped using it.
Now, if Guyanese workers could have assembled durable and reliable radios 30-odd years ago, why can't they assemble computers today?
The workers who assemble computers in China and Mexico are not rocket scientists but regular skilled folks.
Gail underestimates Guyanese talent.

Similarly, workers in the Philippines and India are being trained to provide technical support for North American internet users. Including operator services for the telecommunications industry.
This is also a good prospect for Guyana, if we can prevent grads from leaving and train them in tech support for overseas customers, including local manufacturing support.
The TAPIR mini bus in the Upper Corentyne, is also a Burnham project, assembled in Guyana. Many are still on the road today.

All it takes to fix 'tuner static noise' is to spray some [Radio Shack/Source]electronic switch cleaner and move it a few times, as it is self cleaning.

It is up to the private sector to develop such industries, not govt. It seems that you aFc creeps are suggesting that the govt should be running industry instead of governing. You see private sector are more efficient, not like govt that will waste taxpayers monies on unproven theories. Private sector will only invest in a sure thing not a dollar and a dream.

1. A person has diverse skills with at lease one being prominent.

2. A person can focus on flowers yet also have expertise and experience with computers.

3. The world is filled with individuals having varied skills.

Gerhard Ramsaroop is one of those individuals and his political involvement is separate from his personal business ventures.

Only in Guyana under the PPP would anyone come up with such a dumb idea.
Whilst progressive governments lead trade delegations to foreign shores, the PPP leads begging bowl delegations.

The govt is responsible for making the tender available to all taker. You should have put in your tender and if it was competitive and you had satisfied the technical and financial requirement then you would have won the tender. This is the way capitalism works, it weeds out the inefficiencies in the system. Obviously you are suggesting the laughable wooden laptop as political ploy to blame govt. But thankfully the system works as it was designed, to surface the most efficient model and weed out the jokers.

I am saying Gov't tenders should give general specifications so that local manufacturers can tender their products. An AFC Gov't will go further, and insist that the computers must locally assembled.

If local manufacturers were able, they would have been able to meet govt specifications, especially with the follow up maintenance for both hardware and software. You folks are just using this issue as a political ploy.

Gerhard, running a government is not that simple as running a supply flowers chain for funeral homes. Whenever you submit tenders to funeral homes, I am sure to be competitive, you take in consideration the size of the burial grounds and the dead man’s population. This is not flowers business at burial ground, this is all about running a country.
