- as party promises full support for ailing sugar industry
Even as they admitted that there has been US$40M in losses annually in the sugar
industry, the leaders of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) recently told a massive Berbice crowd that the party, if re-elected, will continue to do all that is necessary to keep the industry alive.
The incumbent party’s plans include pumping $20B over the next five years into various aspects of the industry as well as “fixing” the five-year-old $200M Skeldon factory.
This message was conveyed by President Donald Ramotar and his predecessor, Bharrat Jagdeo as the party hosted a rally at Estate Road, Albion, Corentyne, Berbice on Sunday.
Addressing thousands of supporters which included scores of sugar workers and their families, Jagdeo said his party intends to use power to change people’s lives. He described that as a continuous task, one they intend to work on in the future.
I mean seriously how many times will you have to fix? and how many more hundreds of millions of US dollars will it cost tax payers?
How much of the millions are you pocketing RAT?
