Brent Hardt,[url=http://www.basketballstore.us@#$%&/custom-shop/]custom nba jerseys[/url], the US Ambassador to Guyana,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysfactorywholesale@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys Cheap[/url], is looking out for America?s business interest, which is among his role and responsibilities, according to President of the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC),[url=http://www.cheapjerseysshare.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys[/url], Lincoln Lewis.Lewis is among the latest to respond to the American Ambassador?s appeal for support of the Amaila Falls Hydro Electric Project as he called for consensus among the political parties locally.Lincoln LewisAccording to Lewis, Guyanese must not be misguided by the Ambassador, ?for at the end of the day, it is we, the taxpayers who will have to live with the consequences of a decision of this magnitude, not properly thought out and can subject itself to probity.?Ambassador Hardt, in voicing support for the Amaila Falls initiative said, ?until recently, the project,[url=http://www.nfljerseyscheaponline.us@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys China Online[/url], which has been under development for six years under Sithe Global, appeared to enjoy the implicit support of all political parties?In recent weeks,[url=http://www.cheapnfljerseysforwholesale@#$%&/]Wholesale Jerseys[/url], however, the project suddenly became enmeshed in political battles that had little to do with the potential of the project to generate cheaper, more reliable, and more environmentally friendly energy for decades to come.?Sithe Global is the American based developer of the US$858M Amaila Falls Hydro Electric Project.The company had been guaranteed a 19 per cent rate of return on its investment of US$158M in the project.Lewis, in responding to the pronouncement, said yesterday, ?As Guyanese, our national interest requires adherence to our constitution, laws, respect for the citizenry and prudent management of our resources.?According to Lewis, the national deliberation on the Amaila Hydro Electric Project is no different to the USA deliberation on the Oil Keystone Pipeline which continues to see analyses, support and criticisms from the legislature and other stakeholders in that society.Lewis said, the effort by the USA President to steer that discussion through deliberative tones as he strives for consensus among the various groups ?is a lesson in quality leadership our President should be encouraged to embrace.?The GTUC President in weighing in on the debate over the Amaila Falls Hydro Electric Project, took to task the Private Sector Commission, which he said is choosing to attack the messengers while ignore the message in the form of the critiques made.According to Lewis, the PSC is actively playing a role to deny citizens their constitutional right to access to information and an involvement in national decision-making.He said that the Commission?s recent statement, riddled with name calling and verbal attacks to persons standing up and questioning the project, forces the GTUC to believe that the PSC is not interested in having the nation?s business conducted consistent with acceptable international standards and probity, ?but more as the enforcer for corrupt and abusive practices.?The GTUC President noted that every foreign investment, regardless of circumstance, the Private Sector is prepared to embrace, ?even if it requires being a party to denying citizens/workers their rights and see the plundering/abuses of the nation?s resources.?Lewis said that it is therefore not unreasonable to say the PSC?s primary objective is money, since the issue of constitutional rights and the rule of law are not expressed in its vocabulary and upheld in its behaviour.In seeking to qualify his position, Lewis drew reference to the recent debacle that had embroiled the Russian-based Bauxite Company of Guyana Incorporated (BCGI) and its Guyanese employees.Lewis said that the GTUC engaged the Private Sector Commission two years ago regarding denying workers their right to belong to a union of choice and bargain collectively.He said that the Commission gave GTUC the assurance that it will be engaging the government and employers with a view to having this matter resolved.?The GTUC is yet to hear what, if anything was done.?According to Lewis, behind closed door, the PSC accepts the wrong doing of members in the Private Sector family but refuses to act and correct these injustices.?Yet at the same time whenever the government conceptualizes a scheme that would bring instant gratification to the executive and private sector, the PSC thinks it is incumbent upon the body to treat the citizens like cattle by engaging in acts to herd them in one direction.?Lewis called for all documentation in relation to the Amaila Falls Hydro Electric Project to be made public, inclusive of the National Assembly,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysshare.us@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys Authentic[/url], which would allow stakeholders to analyse and make a final determination.He added too that it must be said that ?those analysing the project are not opposed to hydropower. The concern is the project as currently configured, is inimical to the economic wellbeing of the nation.?
