Indian garb is not inexpensive but they are very attractive and one can easily become envious of them. While Guyanese don't wear them everyday, I think that Indians in Guyana would be very grateful for them. If Bisram was truly giving them away, then that is a commendable act given how much these outfits would be appreciated by those not able to afford them.
People in authority in Guyana have always felt the liberty to make up rules to support their actions and this Customs officer may have done just that. There has always been a bully aspect to people in authority in Guyana. I tend to repudiate the PNC because I had first hand experience while living in Guyana when they were ILLEGALLY in government.
