2013, Indra Hu-Ramdas, De geschiedenis van de Arya Dewaker-scholen. Een oriëntatie op hun functioneren binnen het Surinaams onderwijs [The history of the Arya Dewaker Schools. An outline of their functioning within the Surinamese education system], Stichting Scholengemeenschap Arya Dewaker, page 33:Er was een behoefte bij de onderwijzers die aangesloten waren bij de gemeente Arya Dewaker om zich te verenigen. De redenen voor de oprichting van een bond waren van velerlei aard. Zo wilde men door zich te verenigen willekeur en ook het accommoderen van vriendjes, de ‘vriendjespolitiek’, van de werkgever tegengaan.- Teachers affiliated to the Arya Dewaker congregation felt a need to unite. The reasons for creating a union were many. For instance, by uniting, they wanted to counter arbitrariness and also the nepotistic hiring of cronies, ‘favouritism’, on the employer's part.
2023 September 23, Roy Harpal, “Nu al een hoerastemming of later! [Elation now, or later?]”, in De Ware Tijd, retrieved 2 August 2024:Ongeacht de route die straks zal worden gevolgd, is het daarom onvoorwaardelijk geboden dat de olieopbrengsten en royalty’s van zowel de staat als Staatsolie, die overigens nog ver in het verschiet liggen, niet ondoelmatig en verkwistend worden ingezet; nog minder mogen deze middelen worden ingezet voor populistische projecten, om a la dol met grote delegaties te gaan reizen, in dure dienstauto’s te gaan rijden, het ondoelmatig benoemen van commissies en projectgroepen, alsook het accommoderen van vrienden, families en partijloyalisten.- Irrespective of the route that will be followed in the future, it is therefore unconditionally imperative that the oil revenues and royalties of both the state and the state oil company, which, incidentally, are still far in the offing, should not be used inefficiently and wastefully; still less should these funds be used for populist projects, to travel without restraint with large delegations, drive expensive official cars, inefficiently appoint committees and project groups, nor to hand out government jobs to friends, family members, and party loyalists.
2024 January 23, Stanley Ramkhelawan, “Gebrek aan uitvoeringscapaciteit (1): Braindrain [Lack of executive capacity (1): brain drain]”, in Starnieuws, retrieved 2 August 2024:De tweede exodus was na de militaire coup van 1980. De uitholling van instituties is toen begonnen. De “loopjongens en meisjes” van de zogenaamde revolutie moesten geaccommodeerd worden. Als je maar luid genoeg het geblaat van de machthebbers reproduceerde was je al geschikt voor een topfunctie.- The second exodus took place after the 1980 military coup. The erosion of institutions started then. The 'errand boys and girls' of the so-called revolution had to be put on the state payroll. As long as people reproduced the blathering of those in power loudly enough, they qualified for a top job.
