What is Bulkan trying to do

What is Bulkan trying to do
Guyana Chronicle, 4 September 2007

I read with disgust the constant unfounded attacks launched by Jannette
Bulkan on the Government, in particular the Guyana Forestry Commission.
I am not sure like many other Guyanese what are her real motives, but
it seems to be very personal.

If what she is saying is true, why is it that no support has been
extended by any individual, agency or concerned group in her fight to
expose the alleged malpractice against the GFC? As a regular fan of the
letter section and the lengthy presentations/debates concerning the GFC
over the past few months, I can safely state I am satisfied that GFC is
doing its utmost best to sustainably utilize our forest resources that
belong to the people of Guyana.

The foresight of the Government to get the Forestry Bill enacted by
Parliament is an indication of its intentions to protect and safeguard
our natural and abundant forest resources. From my perspective, it
seems as though Ms. Bulkan is against the rule of law and regulations;
according to her letters.

It is evident that the GFC is not bothered by Bulkan’s comments as they
should not and be engaged in more constructive activities. As a
follower of Bulkan’s letters/articles, it seems to be personal rather
than exposing the GFC and the government for unproven wrong doings.
While Ms.Bulkan seems to be a learned individual, she is not
meaningfully utilizing the benefits of her hard work and studies for
herself and the public at large. The continuous illogical letters will
only tarnish the little credibility that is remaining.

As a result, I would like to extend my humble advice to Jannette Bulkan
by urging her to concentrate on issues worth highlighting rather than
sidetracking the issues at hand concerning the management of our forest
resources which is adequately guarded by the GFC.
