of officials and operatives of the Prime Minister Office.
The perpetrators were caught red handed and are now in custody.
The racket which was reportedly ongoing for a number of years, involved the theft of thousands of bags of fertilizer destined for use by the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).
Special Assistant attached to the Office of the Prime Minister, Gobin Harbhajan, said that he was informed around 08:30hrs on Friday that a truck was discharging bags of fertilizer with the GuySuCo logo at the home of Omardat ‘Pliers’ Dindial, a resident at North Lesbeholden, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice.
According to Harbhajan, officials of the Albion Estate and the police were contacted. The police and security personnel of GuySuCo journeyed immediately to the location and found the fertilizer at Dindial’s residence.
The 100 bags of fertilizer, with the GuySuCo logo, were removed from premises and taken to the Mibicuri Police Station. The suspect was taken into custody.
It is estimated that the fertilizer is valued at over $500,000.
According to Harbhajan, the fertilizer was reportedly offloaded at GuySuCo Gay Park, East Bank Berbice wharf and was stored in the bond at that location. The fertilizer was supposed to be distributed to various estates.
A team from the GuySuCo Head Office has been dispatched to the location to continue investigations in collaboration with the police.
The discovery of the Urea fertilizer would point to a bigger racket that has been

reported.
GuySuCo, struggling to regain its footing after more than a decade of losses and poor performance has been under pressure to improve.
Several workers were recently dismissed and some reinstated after checks uncovered that fertilizer was not applied to acres of cane land.
Urea fertilizer is in hot demand by farmers and is widely used in rice, sugar and cash crop cultivation.

No wonder GuySuCo has been doing so bad under the PPP. The PPP white collar bandits  have been stealing from the place like it was going out of fashion. I hope the AFC government confiscates his assets and sends him away to prison for decades. 

Mr.T

This investigation should go back to ten years and include  Regional Officials.

This was happening  even when Uncle Ramo was running Guysuco.

Residents at Lesbeholden, Mibicuri and on the Corentyne coast Black Bush Polder were openly talking about this  since 2005 when I visited. This is not an isolated incident and perhaps the police are also involved in this massive racket.

It was blatant and open. People were scared to report it under the PPP. They feared victimization.

Government fuel, oil and lubricants distribution should also be investigated to see who profited; some are quite obvious.

Regional Officers were like Lords over  the regions.

This is not white collar but dirty collar bandits. These fellows have the smarts as goats and are making a mint on the backs of the people because it is a culture of thievery on going here that everyone knows and no one care to speak to it.  Yet some are asking for t he cops to shoot and kill the hungry belly stick up junkies.

Like it or not this has being going on since the days of Bookers. Local businessmen were always involved in buying stolen stuff from the Estates. From sling chains to manure and all in between.

I used to catch hassa and red crabs in the canals next to the canefields in Berbice. They were tasty and clean. But I did avoid anything from Skeldon, even the women.

Jackass, That's right. Most of those people shit in the canals next to the canefields, except Skeldon. I wonder if you ever saw a sugar cane field canal or a side line trench. The women in Skeldon would not have even look at an ugly ass face like yours. You don't have to worry. They choose their men wisely. You proabaly picked the teethless homeless women by the roadside.

Bai I had no problems with gyals to rub bellies with . I didn't need the girls from Skeldon. One of my cousin, who used to live in Canefield Settlement, even said that some of dem Skeldon boys used to dress in women's clothing and try to make money from it.

So were you banging your cousin? Your cousin took keen interest in the cross dressers. Did you ever ask him/her whether he/she was attracted to them?

Fresh water sheriga may look clean but they are infested with parasitic worms and other ucky creatures. The salt water sheriga are not infected likewise.

I have never seen sheriga in the cane canals. I have seen hassa. The danger here is more ther poisons run offs from the cane fields. These build up in the tiny creatures other fishes eat and  especially a hassa which is a bottom feeder.

Mr. T,  you probably remember that case of the missing electrical generator at Mibicuri hospital. The night watchman said he did not know what happened to it.  He knows that if he says who took it, he would  not have his job nor his life any more.

That is just one of many cases where police officers were afraid to apprehend PPP criminals. I remember one case where PPP bandits were holed up in a house surrounded by the police. One of the bandits made a call to one of the PPP ministers, and the police were ordered to let the PPP bandits flee with their ill gotten gains. This is going back a few years, but them PPP lacky dared not pen a comment.

Unfortunately for me I never did have the good fortune to mix with the more decent Skeldon crowd that you grew up with. That's not to say that the girls didn't look pretty. Far from it. But so did many other men, and the girls were to shy to refuse such advances.

Seriously, Skeldon was one of the better fun places in Guyana during the 70's, 80's and 90's.

From Discos (4) Cinemas (5 at one time) Markets(2) Hospital , Sugar Factory, Saw Mills, Rice Marketing Board, Banks (3 at that time , currently about 4), a STELLING AND PORT OF ENTRY, Modern Cricket Field that hosted Shell Shield games, and to top it off for Nehru about 3 houses of Prostitution. 

 

SKELDON ROCK!
