Protected Areas Commission seems to be backpedalling

Jul 15, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Please grant us a space in your newspaper to share our concern. The Chenapou Village Council takes note of the press release by the Protected Areas Commission (PAC) which was carried in the media 28th of June with the caption “GPS confirms that dredges were operating in the Kaieteur National Park.” This release seems to suggest that the PAC is backpedalling on a decision made at a meeting between the PAC and the community to do a joint “ground-truthing” exercise involving several agencies. It seems that the PAC has already decided what the findings are and that no joint “ground-truthing” exercise will find otherwise. The village still awaits this exercise.
His Excellency, the President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana at a recent meeting with the National Toshaos Council and other indigenous peoples’ NGOs committed to setting up an independent and impartial investigation team to ascertain the facts of the recent operation. The villagers and village council eagerly await the setting up of this team and hope that it will be done as soon as possible. The Village Council will also refrain from commenting on the issue publicly and will present evidence to any independent investigative team.We look forward to the finding that will come out any investigation into this most sensitive issue.
The Chenapou Village Council
