Please fix the tractor at Enmore, Guysuco

Jan 31, 2015 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
The rainy season is about over. The Enmore Community Centre ground is dry and, under normal circumstances, would have been slashed by the Enmore Estate’s equipment. However, things are no longer normal. The tractor used for slashing has been down for over four months and the Estate has no funds to purchase parts for its repair.
This means that no sporting event: cricket, athletics, etc. can take place on the ground until Guysuco can garner funds to repair the tractor. A large number of youths who would ordinarily be occupied in sports must now lime by the street corners and get into trouble – thanks to Guysuco.
As a cricket enthusiast and an ex-sugar worker, I ask these questions:  Is this the industry to which I gave 25 years of my life and which cannot repair a tractor to pull a slasher to allow for my grandson to play cricket?  Can this industry survive two years more? Can any industry survive when its management refuses to audit itself critically and send some people packing who run the field from cell phones while being at home?
I hang my head in shame for an industry which was once the highest foreign exchange earner in this country.
Please, Guysuco, fix the tractor at Enmore for the benefit of the youths in the area – expensive though the task might be.
Steve Ramotar
