Unfair competition

Jul 18, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am the Licence owner of a Liquor Restaurant and Bar at Lot 7 Maria’s Lodge, Essequibo Coast.  At my place of business I provide employment for myself and two persons on a daily basis. In addition, I also subscribe to all the regulations and laws in relation to operating a liquor restaurant and bar.
But my biggest problem is the constant unfair competition that I have to endure from the so-called bottom house rum shops that operate with impunity in my village.
While I am not afraid of competition I strongly believe that the playing field must be level at all times. I am totally surprised and grossly dissatisfied that despite several reports to the Suddie Police Station and to the Customs Department, no effort, to the best of my knowledge, has been made to ensure these unlicensed places of business cease to operate.
Whitman George
