Georgetown : Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud has expressed disappointment with recent statement made by Presidential Candidate for the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Brigadier David Granger, emphasizing that his recent statement speaks of inadequate and poor economic understanding of Guyana’s reality.
Granger at a recent luncheon organised by the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), while outlining his party’s intention for the future of Guyana stated that once elected it would seek to nationalise the sugar industry.
The subject Minister, said that the recent statement confirms the Opposition’s perspective on matters of interest and clearly shows that they do not have the country’s or the sugar industry’s interest at heart.
“There are challenges facing the sugar industry globally which we are also experiencing. But, both from a trade and weather standpoint it is not wise to shut it down and I think this should remind Guyanese of how concerned they are about the welfare of sugar workers and the many thousands of Guyanese who depend directly or indirectly on this industry,” he said.
