Dear Editor,
I write this letter with a heavy heart and disgust. I read an article in your newspaper regarding the inhumane treatment of an Indian national by the owner of a store in your newspaper dated December 12, 2013 and December 13, 2013.
It surprises me that individuals like this businessman are allowed to come to Guyana and ‘dish’ out this type of treatment to their own people in our land. I fear to even think how they would treat local employees if that’s how they treat their own.
It was even more surprising to read that this isn’t the first time that this individual has been reported to the Ministry of Labour. Maybe no reaction by the Ministry gave this individual extra courage to continue as a slave master?
On his next court appearance on January 7, 2014 and I really hope an example is made of this individual so that these lawlessness doesn’t continue. I also hope the victim is reimbursed and paid monies owed to him with interest!
In conclusion, I’d like to commend the work done by the Guyana Women Miners’ Organization, the Human Services Ministry and the Guyana Police Force. David Singh
