Dear Editor,
I support the Guyana Human Rights Association’s call for an investigation into the removal of the three top officers of the New Building Society and for the men to be immediately paid everything due to them. Our President is getting a pension before age 50, and yet the NBS Board refuses to pay a pension to the CEO who contributed for decades so that he could be paid a pension at age 60. It has been almost four years and nothing has been paid as yet. It is obvious to anyone who read the report that the Chairman of the Board thought the men were innocent at the time of the alleged fraud.
I support any cause for justice, especially when it’s a David & Goliath situation. Any company should be accountable to the law of the country in the same way that an ordinary citizen is. Where there is an injustice then the government which is elected by the ordinary people should support and indeed call for an independent enquiry on behalf of the people, because this is a bank with depositors‘ funds.
Yours faithfully,
Samantha Permaul
