Georgetown: The Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc. This afternoon says the company is extremely concerned by the irresponsible and partisan journalism of Kaieteur News and now being intellectually authored by anti government activist Christopher Ram, particularly as it relates to the just completed Project Gold at Enmore.
Kaieteur News on May 18th 2011 published a story where Mr. Ram made several false allegations regarding this project, which entailed the construction of a packaging facility, warehouse storage and several upgrades to the Enmore factory. This was done without seeking a clarification or response to such a misleading article prior to publishing. On that occasion, the Corporation ignored the baseless and malicious story which it viewed as part of an ongoing campaign to discredit the efforts to turn around the sugar industry.
Again in today’s edition these misrepresentations were further embellished in a story captioned “
Cost of US$12.5M packaging plant questionable – Kenya installs four times bigger plant for
US 3 Million
It must be noted, that in excess of US $7.5 million relates to the substantial modification and upgrade of the Enmore factory, which is separate to the packaging plant component and the warehouse.
