Komal wears two important hats. 1. Head of GAWU. 2.  PPP Member of Parliament.  That's two salaries for many many years.   GAWU collects millions of dollars in union dues.  They should be helping the workers more.  He is in his 70s, a nice age to retire.  PPP might be looking for younger, more energetic people who are current with issues like oil, international banking, etc.

I wish Komal well.  He served his country with distinction.

When I first met Komal Chand in 1969, he was running his family's TEXACO Gas Station at Vauxhall, West Bank Demerara. His older brother Dalchand was Chairman of the Canal's Polder Local Authority. Komal was already comfortable financially before Dr Jagan offered him a job in 1974 at Freedom House and later at GAWU.
