Dear Editor,
I must commend the Guyanese press for highlighting the anticipated change of ownership of Guyana’s leading international hotel at Providence, although I sensed a veiled grudge against Buddy Shivraj. For me, regardless of Shivraj’s background, once he does legitimate business and at the same time adheres to the rule of law, he is entitled like any other citizen of the free world to turn a profit, be it windfall, abnormal gains or high rate of return. With respect to this business transaction, the Guyanese public ought to only concern itself with the extent of any loss or gain to the treasury and why and what the sociological impact to the greater society is.
