There are 4,283 workers that are directly affected. Why not give these workers plot of abandoned sugar lands that are laid wasted in lieu of part of their severance pay? They can grow cash crops or even help bring in foreign currency by producing vegetables for export.
It seems like the past government, the current regime is bent on keeping these people poor.

Mitwah, you and i both know that if FULL severance IN CASH is not paid to the sugar workers, there will be holy hell to pay this Christmas

your in lieu suggestion would be litigated all the way to the CCJ, and GAWU would cynically support Anil and the PPP in consolidating local and international support for what would be the foundation of the PPP's 2020 campaign

your proposal is a matter for another day after the people get their money
