Please, go in peace

The Editor, Sir:

Reference is made to the very public action being pursued between the distinguished retired chief executive officer, who was bestowed with various accolades, including two national awards and an honorary doctorate, all of which were in recognition of long and faithful services in the financial sector.

Airing dirty linen

I am extremely disappointed that after all these accolades, both within and outside, the parties saw it fit to air their dirty laundry in the public domain.

I would like the retired chief executive officer to determine if it is worth it for the privilege to drive a car or cars, or to live in a house that is reserved for the incumbent chief executive officer to occupy.

Please use honour and endeavour to get your just rewards for your sterling service given unstintingly for over 40 years.

You, as the chief executive officer, presided over the bank when it made record profits and you kept the bank stable and calm. During your tenure, you were well compensated and rewarded.

Make some contribution

We beg you, sir, fight the fight only as long as you can do it solicitously and with regard for your own personal standing in our Jamaica. For many years, young bankers saw you as their role model. They have aspired to be like you.

In my mind, you are wrongly indicating that you are willing to descend from your pedestal. Please, please, please go and enjoy your vacation; go in peace.

Later, after you have had some rest, return to the limelight and offer your contributions to Jamaica in a very tangible way.

I am, etc.,

CLARENCE D. JACKSON
