Energy cost was likely key factor in Baron investment in T&T – Go-Invest CEO

Mitwah's Knight did not come to the rescue.

You see all the Rumjaats are scamps, they want something for nothing. For years he has been away from Guyana, now 2 1/2 years into the PNC government he come complaining about the PPP, this is all a set up by Prakash, he wants to look relevant.

Now we see why the deal was refused by the PPP. After all creating employment in Linden was something that the PPP was extremely hostile to.  Linden was to be PUNISHED for being a PNC stronghold.

This shows exactly how Linden could have been redeveloped following the loss of 80% ofr the bauxite industry jobs which existed in that town.

Its ironic that the PPP screams that high electricity costs prevents the development of Guyana, and yet in a location where such costs are lower they didn't seek to stimulate such development!

Labor costs are much lower in Guyana than in T&T and Guyana also produces food products in greater supply and land is also cheaper.  That is why during the PPP era T&T companies looked at Guyana, but the corrupt PPP chased them away.  This when there was capital available on that island to fund such expansion.

What’s your thought about Baron Food opening business in Linden .

I remember two black guys from my village used to work in Guymines up in Linden, they would return after three months of work, see them in Braddax Bar spending money like drunken sailors, buying for everyone.As labourers they were making as much as three to four times as a factory worker in Uitvlugt Estate. The bauxite plant   with such high wages eventually priced it's self out of business.

Energy costs in Linden are cheaper then elsewhere in Guyana and Linden needs to offset the loss of bauxite jobs.  The 2002 and the 2012 censuses BOTH show that Linden retains the densest cluster of skilled workers in Guyana thanks to decades of training by the various entities who ran the bauxite industry in that town.

The PPP hated Linden and Granger still cannot recover from being chased out of that town so I don't expect anything to happen.

And you also know that when sugar workers got paid their wives would immediately have to show up to collect some of the money before these men drank it out.

The first time I went to the Corentyne I remember seeing scores of men lying by the road looking as if they were dead. I asked what had happened and was told that this is the result of a very active night of drinking.

Note that the sun was high up in the sky and they were still knocked out, so drunk that they passed out.

So cease with your racism.  It is every evident!  Alcoholism is a problem in Guyana that crosses ALL ethnic boundaries.

As to the pay. Well scream to the Canadians that they paid them too much because bauxite worker pay was always way above that of comparable jobs well before the industry was nationalized!

More lies by the pnc agent caribj. See jaggy's comments where he stated that Baron never approached him for deals. In fact it looks like Baron was looking for freeness, free subsidized electricity from govt, free land, free food,free blow job etc.   Meanwhile I await your excuse after 2 1/2 years why pnc didn't give Baron what they wanted to setup shop in Guyana.

I know that you consume Jagdeo's body fluids and gases so believe what that liar screams but no rational person has any confidence in anything out of that charlatan's mouth.

Just to show how confused you are you scream that he was looking for freeness (something that most foreign investors get by the way) and then you wail that he never approached the PPP. So which is it?

But no worries. Rich T&T got the plant and Guyana didn't and I bet the T&T plant buys some raw supplies from Guyana.

Mr Racist, I did not try to label your brothers as drunks, my point was to show the workers from the bauxite plant earn a very good living and when they do return home they can afford to buy drinks for everyone in the bar.

I see no reason to believe Jagdeo is lying. In fact Ron Ramjattan stated he put in "applications", no mention about personally going to ppp or jaggy to circumvent the application process.  

The fact remains that Baron set up shop in T&T due to the country's lower price of electricity which the plant consumes bountifully. The T&T govt did not offer any concessions like free land etc.

Your attempt was to show that they were an overpaid bunch of louts and blaming this on the difficulties of the bauxite industry.

Of course you don't as you swallow all emissions from the various orifices on the man's body.

T&T at the time was riding high on oil, gas and petrochemicals and was NOT going to bend over backwards for some small pepper sauce.  That they chose T&T, which didn't need them, instead of Guyana, which definitely did is the work of YOUR PPP!.  The man said Linden...Jagdeo screamed "nutting for black man" and that was that!

Liar, T&T offered cheaper electricity, access to local lucrative markets. In Guyana people make their own pepper sauce.  You try very hard to put blame on Jagdeo a man who has not been in power since 2011. Get him out of your craw or whatever orifice he occupies on your body.  

LOL! A Drug Baron exhibiting his ignorance.

I don't believe for a second that Mitwah's knight Sir Ramjathan ever wanted to invest in Guyana. He knows the corruption, electricity and political situation in Guyana. If he wanted to invest in Guyana then he would not have gone to St. Lucia in the first instance.
