Dear Editor,
I am so pleased to read that the new management and board of NCN have seen the wisdom of erecting a proper fence at the National Communication Network (NCN). This broadcaster is owned by the people of Guyana, and has a national outreach.
I served this organization for well over a decade, and it was not easy. Bandits were always attempting to penetrate the premises, and even employees were found throwing things over the short fences. Fortunately, we never had any losses. Professionalism and good luck too were obviously at work here.
From the commencement of our service there, I wrote the management asking for a better fence. We even suggested that the fence be patterned after the one at the Office of the President and later, after the one at the Ministry of Agriculture. We were never even accorded the courtesy of a reply.
The letter highlighted concerns about security, and the need to provide adequate protection for this most strategic and vital government site.
A fence is a simple most important component of security management in respect to protecting life, limb and property, and it is my opinion that the government and the new Board of Directors are more security conscious about the assets of the nation than their predecessors were. Security wise, I am pleased with this decision.
Yours faithfully,
Roshan Khan
