Abide by our rules, or risk expulsion

May 09, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I noted with interest the call by environmentalist Annette Arjoon-Martins for the sanctioning of the company responsible for the damaged mangroves in the Malgre Tout/Versailles area. Indeed, the Government of Guyana has a programme whereby large sums of money is spent on the planting and caring of the mangroves. Therefore, this call should be more stern, as a company or entity that comes into a country with no regard for the rules and regulations of that country should be thrown out on their ears – with penalties attached. Their coming here and requesting permission to operate their business here and then flouting the laws of the country fully qualifies them for expulsion. Penalties must also be attached so that a strong message is sent to all investors that they own their investments, not our land, and they must abide by the rules. Guyana is a sovereign state and Guyanese should stand up for their rights and at least support those who are standing up for them. Thank you.

Yours truly,
M. S. Baksh
