What yuh bai Robero Pussard do with de EU money foh de sugar worker? Hey hey hey...how yuh bai Raj Sing? And de fertilizer scam dem bais deh runnin...hey hey hey.

Seems like you and your "likee" have a brain fart.

LBI estate was NOT closed by PPP, it was down size, the cultivation workers was merge with Enmore, and it make absolute sense because majority of the times LBI estates has mechanical issues and the canes were taken to Enmore.

Diamond Operation was closed in 1980s. and the cultivation filed was close in 2009.. these cultivation field was not producing the quality of cane for harvesting. The land was sold to DDL for industrial purpose and PPP opened housing schemes. Businessmen opens factories that employs some of the sugar workers.

Wales Estate was closed by APNU/AFC.

Workers down tools at Diamond Sugar Estate

Scores of workers at the Diamond Sugar Estate yesterday downed tools in protest at a decision by the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) to transfer them to the LBI Estate.

Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) President Mr. Komal Chand told the Guyana Chronicle that the union believes the latest move by the Corporation is to close the 1,694 areas of cane cultivation at the Diamond Estate in keeping with its cost-cutting measures.

He pointed out that GuySuCo has not been carrying out rehabilitation work and application of fertilisers on the estate, and if the Company intends to cease cultivation there, his union will be opposed to the idea.

Chand explained that closure of cultivation at the Diamond Estate would negatively impact GuySuCo’s sugar output and might adversely affect workers of the estate.

The top GAWU official said he has written to GuySuCo seeking a discussion on the matter but is yet to receive a definite response.

Officials of GAWU and GuySuCo met yesterday to look at the problem, and according to Chan, the two parties are expected to meet again on Friday.

Meanwhile, the GAWU President said the stand-off is expected to continue today.

What exactly are you trying to say here Django... it does not make sense to when I said Diamond FACTORY was closed in 1980s. majority of the cultivation workers went at Wales estate. 

In plan words, the land was barren and was not economically feasible to plant cane.
