The PNC have always been adept at sorting out ways of extorting money form the people using the apparatus of the state. This is just a clandestine way of taking a cut from the poor miners and big operators who eke out a living in the gold mines. The little guys will suffer and go out of business. The big wheels will grease the hands of the customs officials and get away with the taxes that they are supposed to pay. When they government is supposed to collect 10 million dollars they will show a million. 4 million goes into the hands of the government crooks and the business saves 5 million. Guyanese business model. Think of it as "CHANGE".
