Skilled labour had to be imported

Jul 22, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – Mr. Badal must be lauded and toasted for the vision, ambition and determination to make it a reality with successful completion and opening of the Pegasus Hotel Suites and Corporate Centre.

However, in his address, during the opening ceremony on Wednesday evening, the representative of the project executing agency made reference to the fact that while Guyanese labour was utilised, there was a shortage of skilled labour and this had to be imported from China.

This declaration must have caused an uncomfortable squirming in the seats of the Guyanese dignitaries present. So much for local content.
With the ongoing hotel boom, the revelation says a lot about our skilled workforce or rather the lack of it, and the authorities need to ramp up measures to take care of this deficiency.
