Georgetown : Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy says the Government has for some time now taken the position that changes would be made to the Guyana Sugar Corporation (Guysuco) Board.
The Minister said that the President and Cabinet have been reviewing the composition of the Board and the everyday management, and the President has agreed that there is need to make some adjustments to both the board and the management team.
“This is not because the AFC and Mr. Ramjattan want it, it is not because APNU demands it, it is because as good stewards of an industry, we see that the industry has some difficulties at this time and, we believe that a review of both the board and the everyday management is necessary,” Minister Ramsammy said.
According to Minister Ramsammy one of the potential changes could be the highest level of management as Cabinet is examining the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the sugar company. “Mr. Paul Bhim has tried his best, but Mr. Paul Bhim was just acting in that position.” This does not mean that Bhim will be fired, Minister Ramsammy said.
“We are considering all the changes we need to make, but I do not think that it would be responsible for people to think that the entire management and the entire board would go,” he said.
