Many years into the future when the name Dr Lennox Sealy is googled, the entries will tell a story of a successful management consultant and university lecturer who resigned because he failed to implement a transformation process at the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) in a timely manner.

One might regard Watson also as an entertainer, but Watson is not Oscar material. However, he may have received an award if he had completed his protest swim from Tobago to Trinidad, without the assistance of boat in 2017 when there were difficulties with the air and sea bridge.
