Minister of State, Joseph Harmon is quoted in a April 27, 2018 Demerara Waves report as saying “[y]ou require people who are competent in sugar, who understand the industry, who understand business… to be able to serve on that Board”. This is an interesting admission by the Minister as he seems to say those who served previously did not have sufficient competence to provide the leadership the sugar industry required.
The Government, in view of Minister Harmon’s admission, may see it necessary and wise to review the decisions taken with regard to sugar industry. Those decisions as we well know have placed thousands of Guyanese in a perilous situation at this time.
