Explaining the People’s Progressive Party’s plan to reopen three sugar estates, if the party wins the next General Election, Bharrat Jagdeo said that the cost to close the sugar estates is far greater than the cost to leave them open and subsidise them.
The PPP general secretary said that, prior to the government’s decision to close the estates, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had indicated that several studies should have been done, and that the PPP had advocated for those studies to be conductedThis is such an idiotic plan....to reopen the sugar states...the PPP leader is living in the stone age...and wants to keep Indians illiterate, unskilled and tied to a failing industry....the industry should be privatized, and land given to the workers who are willing to make use of it.
It will cost too much to bail out the industry every year its opened. It should be dismantled.
The government should provide for the laid off workers, with the oil money and train them and create programs that will give them skills for the future....
Only Sheldon-Man and KP can do this kind of Kane Kutta job today....
I am thankful for the cane cutters for me, my brothers and father were cane cutters. The sugar industry is responsible for the success of the majority of Guyanese who migrated.
