Some business places exploiting prices
Dear Editor,
Permission to just air at least two concerns, and how they can be resolved. First of all the whole world is affected by the ongoing war, but just as the pandemic hit Guyana two years ago, I remember vividly Guyanese began to panic and started the “buying madness”. Stores and all the pharmacies in regent and water street were filled with customers, all they wanted was lysol, bleach and other cleaning agents but prices for these products increased significantly, in some cases by as much as 500 percent. Now a tin of Lysol is less then one thousand dollars. Now since the petrol raise, overnight businessmen whom I know personally raise their prices, hiding flour, garlic, milk and other basic food items. Editor I can suggest one solution to this problem and that is ….let the relevant authorities take away or suspend their business licence for two months, then all the madness with high prices will end.
Yours respectfully,
Anthony Marks
