GEORGETOWN, Guyana – The 15-nation Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on Wednesday announced that has rescinded the appointment of Guyanese development specialist, Dr. Naresh Singh as Deputy Secretary General. But Singh maintained that he has done nothing wrong that warranted such a move and he would leave the region to judge whether his failure to obtain clearances for two or three consultancies of less than one week each with the United Nations (UN) was enough to deprive him from serving in the number two spot. “It is now up to the people, the media and the governments of the Caribbean to judge whether my track record of excellence over decades of world class leadership work has been so compromised now to prevent me from bring fit to serve,” Singh told Demerara Waves Online News (http://www.demwaves.com) in an emailed reaction. He has previously described as “mystifying” allegations of conflict of interest, while acknowledging that he had received a small number of isolated emails and conference calls during business hours which were inappropriate.
