Thank you for keeping Govt.’s promise

Oct 06, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am ecstatic and happy at the news that severed sugar workers will receive $250,000 each. I am even happier that the much-needed assistance will come in the New Year as announced by Vice President, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo in Skeldon, Upper Corentyne.
The government is keeping all of its promises made to the people of this country. I can speak for every sugar worker that was severed from the job and every family that has been displaced when I say, thank you.
I am happier now that the Government is making the necessary investment in its people and also ordered GuySuCo to carry out a survey on all sugar workers.
Around 7,000 sugar workers were severed by the former APNU+AFC administration from the Wales, Skeldon, Rose Hall and Enmore estates. These families suffered the brunt of the wrath of the APNU+AFC regime for almost five consecutive years when there was no plan to reintegrate the thousands who lost jobs back into society. I would never forget the tears that fell because of this catastrophic decision.
Now we are waiting on the full reopening of the Skeldon, Rose Hall and Enmore estates, in order for a next promise to be completed.

Yours Truly,
Erin Northe
