MEDIA LEAKS GIVING GUYSUCO HEADACHE

GUYANA – Senior officials of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) are prepared to engage the Ministry of Agriculture over what they believe is the alleged deliberate sabotage of the company’s agenda by sources from within, the Guyana Chronicle reported on May 20.

Information coming out of the sugar company is that senior managers and officials have had enough of dishonourable behaviour from a named partner and will urgently seek the government’s intervention in the problem.

The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that the senior managers are apparently at odds with certain actions being taken by the Special Purpose Unit (SPU), the body which was created to aid in the “right-sizing” of the sugar company and the management of its disposed assets.

In a public missive, Corporate Communications Manager Audreyanna Thomas said that senior managers had requested an urgent meeting with their acting Chief Executive Officer, Thursday, expressing growing concerns, disgust and impatience with the less-than-honourable manner in which the management of the Corporation is being projected in certain sections of the media on particular matters.

She said that the managers are of the view that information shared in confidence with their partners, over the past six or seven months, is finding its way to the press, some being sensitive information relating to contractual arrangements between the Corporation, its employees and corporate partners.
