Dear Editor,
I have noticed that the Kaieteur News is particularly critical of the fact that discussions are in progress for a Bourda Sports Academy to be created at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and the Georgetown Football Club (GFC).
I have looked at the investments made by the NEW GPC INC and, every time I do, I stand amazed at the standards that the company creates and goes for. I am also always impressed with the insight for investment, and the success that comes about once that company is involved.
The success is continuous, to such a point that it evokes enormous jealousy, especially in opposing political elements, and the weaklings in business. The opposition always sees something sinister with things good for Guyana, and with any large investment or project. They are so regular in their attacks and criticism, that they become boring and blind to that fact. Or they just do not wish development under this current government?
One, Cobeer Persaud wrote a letter in the Kaieteur News, dated December 4, and suggested that the sale be made public. Well, look, I will support this, but let us be realistic, name any other person or company with the capacity to make the GCC or the GFC something truly magnificent and noteworthy, with an academy for sports.
Some may want the place for the real estate value and investment, but I believe that the NEW GPC/ CPL OPCO can truly make something extraordinary of this project, where it becomes an academy of sport in excellence, and an example in the Caribbean, where Guyana can be also noticed on the map.
Sincerely,
Roshan Khan
