It was not an option to hire Guyanese for this project as it would affect the deliverables and quality of work and the Chinese did not agree. In the end, all's well that ends well. Now the PNC despite all their big talk hold on to the Marriott instead of liquidating it as promised pre elections. In fact Guyanese workers were in short demand at the time as they were already pulling in over 25$US a day in the mining and construction industry.
Guyanese were protesting about this. If every Guyanese was pulling down cash in the mines and in Barbados why would they have cared?
The PNC did NOT promise to shut down the Marriott.
Jagdeo screamed that the Marriott was NOT a government owned hotel, and that there were private investors. WHERE ARE THESE INVESTORS?
The only "Guyanese" protesting were those with political motives like yourself. The masons, carpenters etc were already gainfully employed by developers around the country as the economy was buzzing even during Ramoutar's short reign.
