Sugar union GAWU yesterday publicly called for the removal of GuySuCo Chief Executive Officer, Sasenarine Singh, a move that will pile pressure on the government over the beleaguered industry.
The public call had been preceded by a May 24, 2022 letter to President Irfaan Ali calling for the removal of Singh on grounds of alleged incompetence. It is unclear whether Ali has responded to the union which is an influential stakeholder in the industry and has longstanding fraternal ties with the PPP/C. Singh could not be reached yesterday by Stabroek News for comment on the call for his removal.
As it has done in previous years, GAWU used the occasion of Enmore Martyrs Day to deliver hammer blows about the state of the industry which the PPP/C government had vowed in its 2020 manifesto to resuscitate.
