Last Wednesday saw the inauguration of the board of Directors of the Linden Enterprise Network (LEN) at the Macaw Conference Room of the Region 10 Business Centre.Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh and Junior Finance Minister Juan Edghill (centre) are flanked by six of LEN’s Board members.Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh and Minister within that Ministry, Juan Edghill, were among those in attendance.The LEN is the successor of the Linden Economic Advancement Programme (LEAP) which was launched in 2002. That was reinforced by the Linden Economic Advancement Fund (LEAF) which was designed to finance projects geared towards economic development.Edghill introduced the members of the board and gave brief details of their “impressive portfolios”.Leading the team will be Chairman, Dunstan Barrow, with the board members being Patrick Dublin, Basil Jaipaul, Tarachand Balgobin,Wholesale NBA Jerseys China, Youlanda Hilliman, Nolan Walton and Andrew Forsythe.The new Chairman was not present to address the gathering but Mr. Forsythe filled that role.The keynote address was delivered by the Finance Minister, who began by reflecting on the history of Linden.Referring to the region as a pool of talented human resources, Dr. Singh said that the town owes its existence to the bauxite industry. He reflected that for many years Linden had made an outstanding contribution to the country as a whole.However, he stressed that any economy that is dependent on a single sector, be it country or town, is almost by definition a “vulnerable economy.”He elaborated on his point as he said that while bauxite has served the country well, to craft a long-term plan for economic viability only depending on that sector (bauxite) is tantamount to inheriting a position that places Linden in the cleavage of susceptibility.Dr Singh emphasised that government will not abandon bauxite.“Government is always committed towards ensuring that there is investment in the Region. There is the Chinese investor – BOSAI and the Russian investor—RUSAL who are investing in Guyana. We are working to promote bauxite and other mines development outside the traditional areas.? The Canadian-owned company, referred to as First Bauxite Corporation, is now in the advanced stages of exploration in the Berbice area and once completed we will encourage the extraction and production of the mineral.”In addition to this, while informing that the functions of the LEAF will now fall under the responsibilities of the LEN, he urged that those who wish to benefit from the programme be, “good borrowers.”He informed members of the audience that to date there stands an outstanding debt of $732M. “This money was lent to entrepreneurs with the hopes that they would pay back their loans.”DISAPPOINTED RESIDENTS AND COUNCILORSResidents and representatives of the regional board did not hesitate to express their disappointment during the inaugural ceremony and more so after the occasion.They expressed concern that the members of the board were handpicked without their representatives having an input.Regional Councilor, Mr. Renis Morian, gave his take on the event.“I am happy that a board is in, but my disappointment is rooted in the fact that the people of Linden,NFL Jerseys 2018, through their elected members, were not allowed to make a contribution to say who should be a part of the board, and it is disturbing that the Chairman for most projects in Linden is always from out of the Region. We need someone who knows the plight of the people; someone who has felt the pains of the ordinary man in this town.”MP Renis Morian (left) and Regional Chairman Sharma Solomon.The Parliamentarian added, “I am wondering how come it is that the people have to pay back that amount, because people would have had to put up certain assets in order to get the loans, and I would like to know where those assets are. I am not impressed that the government is talking about investment in the Region. We had people that wanted to invest in the region and the government turned them down, so I don’t know what Dr. Singh really came here to say.”Regional Chairman Sharma Solomon told this publication that while it is encouraging to know that the European-funded Linden Enterprise Network plans to begin work, “We must, however,NFL Jerseys From China, be able to examine if this venture will achieve what it ought to achieve. The short-sightedness of the Government to re-establish this board outside of its full effects on the economic development programme, which forms part of the 21st of August Agreement, illustrates the vision that the Government is promoting for people of Region #10, which is piecemeal.”“The composition of this Board has something that is seriously amiss and the fault lines must be addressed. It is not geared to ensure the involvement of the
