You had to know him to understand howw former staff members like myself are grieving at his cruel and horrible death. No more that booming, yet pleasanttly deep voice, carefaully articulating his position: to staff members at a meeting; a farmer in Mahaica; a women’s group in Essequibo.
He stood by his convictions “diversify, diversify”. He pushed that export envelope, “new markets, get new markets”,
A Party Man, not PPP alone. Who attended every Ministry social, sat at every Mash Committee meeting, forever increasing the budget. Stood up to be counted on the road march, and next day meeting at the New GMC, with Roxanne and Neezam and Celeste and them.

His friend, former PS Balkarran. I cant imagine how he feels.

Sattie my heart goes out to you and the boys. May God grant you comfort in your time of sorrow. All Guyana may miss him, but you alone will…

I have lost family. I grieve

Not a day for good news at CFR.
