This is a good venture, and it provides jobs for sixty person is welcomed. My question is does Guyana have all that sand to mine into the next twenty years?
ReplyDeleteGuyana is already below sea level now the gov’t is selling sand. This Gov’t will sell the clothes off Guyanese backs in order to make a few bucks. Next the question is who will this benefit some privite company that own by a non Guyanese or the Guyanese people. The Gov’t need to show us the money and how it being spent when this business gets underway. This land is our land and no privite business should reap the benefit. This money should go into the development of Guyana.

ReplyDeleteComment: The sand in question is not being mined from the seashore. It will be excavated from the hilly sand and clay belt, which is far above sea level.
