Destruction of my snackette

Nov 16, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am writing to formally complain about the recent demolition exercise on the West Coast of Demerara, during which my snackette was removed. My structure is gone and my only source of income has been destroyed. I complied fully with the instructions given.

However, just a few buildings away, the Baruch Grill at Cornelia Ida remains standing and fully operational. Its structure, which residents understand to also be on government reserves, was not removed. This gives the clear impression of selective enforcement.

Many of us in the community are long-standing Guyanese citizens who have lived here for generations. Yet we feel our rights were disregarded while a business run by Venezuelan nationals continues without interruption. This unequal treatment is unfair and requires explanation.

GPL has also connected electricity to this structure, raising questions about whether proper inspections and approvals were done, especially if the building is not in compliance with regulations and is illegally on Government reserves.

I ask that your office conduct any investigation or checks, which you consider necessary into this snackette still operating, as this matter is of public interest and concerns fairness and equal treatment under the law.

Respectfully,
Former snackette owner of Cornelia Ida
