Denigrating the people of Guyana
Dear Editor,
My mother always remarked that there are asses and then there are jackasses. Winston Brassington fits squarely in the latter. What other conclusion can one arrive at when one reads the nonsensical explanation he gave justifying non-Guyanese employment at the Marriott Hotel construction site.
This man has no shame whatsoever. I don’t think he knows the meaning of the word. If he did he would not have insulted the entire Guyanese work force, implying that they are lazy, unproductive and unskilled.
All buildings, large and small, constructed in Guyana were done with Guyanese labour. Guyanese are known for their construction skills throughout the Caribbean, but someone wants to convince the public that Guyanese workers don’t even know to mix cement, or use a hammer or a saw.
To top it off, Brassington used a language barrier excuse. If the Chinese company wants to do construction in Guyana, it needs to bring English-speaking engineers.
This is just another example of those secretive “back room deals” that the Jagdeo regime made, selling out the rights of the Guyanese workers to foreign interest.
