PSC DEEPLY SADDENED AT PASSING OF BHOOKMOHAN

The Private Sector Commission is deeply saddened at the passing of Mr. Ramdial Bhookmohan and extends its deepest sympathies to his bereaved wife, children and relatives.

Mr. Bhookmohan was a founder member of the Private Sector Commission which he, along with others, established in 1992. He served with distinction on two occasions as the Commission’s Vice-Chairman. He was closely associated with the establishment and development of other private sector bodies, most notably the Berbice Chamber and Development Association and the Association of Regional Chambers of Commerce (ARCC) as the organisation’s first President. Under his leadership, ARCC rapidly developed with the establishment of Chambers in Linden, the Rupununi and in other rural areas.

Mr. Bhookman served in his many positions with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. He was very passionate in advocating development which could improve the lives of people and the well-being of communities, particularly in the rural areas. He was always willing to help the needy and maintained an active interest in local government affairs. His ascending the Chairmanship of the New Building Society was a further expression of his commitment to service and the well-being of people.

He will be sorely missed by many for his warmth, sincerity and dedication. The PSC will long remember him for his excellent work and steadfastness in his advocacy for a better Guyana.
