The vast majority of small businesses are Indian and Chinese owned. It looks like these jackasses really want to give these contracts to Blacks but they will have a hard time if they expect  a Black pavement vendor to have to knowledge and resources to fulfill contracts.

Your family were worse than pavement dwellers. They were among many in the "horrible" trades  shit carriers.  Up to the 50's most did not think schooling was necessary and never educated girls. To day you extol their virtues as thinkers! Reflect on that when you speak of pavement vendors. It speaks to your chronic doltishness.

Giving, or retaining contracts for small businesses is a good thing. Its the handful of few wealthy businessmen who normally have the influence and wealth to grab everything. Some competition is good and small businesses may not have the resources but they have the determination to do well. Hope this works for them....and hope they do this without looking at race as a criteria.

You don't know my family well enough to make such remarks. Speak to the fact that Blacks don't have the resources to compete for these contracts as they don't the resources. You yourself along with CaribJ fled the scene when Granger came looking for investors.

Like the Indians they need to be taught how to advance beyond pavement vending into small business status. But caribJ et al are too proud to seek the advice of successful small Indian business people.

Caribj is the only smart negro in the world.

Hope is not "small business" like this.  Joe Singh is one man I respect.  It is good that he could work for all governments.

Dear Editor,
On Monday, October 17, 2016, I informed the relevant regulatory and enforcement agencies of the serious degradation being done to the banks of the Potaro and Essequibo Rivers between Tumatumari and Omai as a result of irresponsible gold dredging activities. I submitted the photographic evidence and was informed that action will be taken to deal with obvious breaches of the regulations. On Sunday, November 27, 2016, while on an aerial reconnaissance over Regions 7 and 8, I observed that the indiscriminate mining of river banks and also the dumping of tailings in the channels were not confined to the Potaro and Essequibo Rivers, but were taking place in the middle Cuyuni (just below the confluence of the Ekereku River with the Cuyuni River), in the Wenamu River (on both the Guyana and Venezuela banks), in the Ekereku River (opposite the Ekereku Airstrip), and in the middle Mazaruni River (below Tamakay Landing).
The situation in the Potaro and Essequibo Rivers has also worsened. I have photographs to this effect of mining activities on the right and left banks of the Potaro River and on the left bank of the Essequibo River by Omai Landing. Mining activities on the right bank of the Potaro River, downstream of Tumatumari, November 27, 2016. Other photographs I have also show the heavy sediment loading of the Cuyuni River (from the cumulative impact of mining activities in the upper Cuyuni located in Venezuela, and in the middle and lower Cuyuni River in Guyana) at its confluence with the Mazaruni River by Kartabu Point.
Surely, the regulatory and law enforcement agencies, some of which actually have personnel deployed within striking distance of the impacted areas, cannot be unaware of these breaches. Added to the mining illegalities are the build-up of detritus (human waste and abandoned mining camps and equipment), indiscriminate dumping of tailings proving to be hazards to navigation in the rivers, deterioration of the quality of fresh water for downstream communities, and the degradation of aquatic life.
The impacts of the mining activities on river banks such as on the left bank of the Cuyuni River below Ankoko Island, and on the river channel of the Wenamu River also have strategic implications as these apply to the delineation of the international border. The contribution of the gold mining community to the development of Guyana and Guyanese is undeniable. The pioneering efforts, courage, risk-taking and technological advances initiated by miners and services providers in the mining sector, are to be applauded. However, mining operations in our rivers or contiguous land areas have to be compliant with the regulations, including those relating to the health and safety of mining crews and downstream communities and for the sustainability of ecosystems and services.
I had reported to the authorities on aberrations in the gold mining operations in our rivers and contiguous land areas six weeks ago. I have not seen any evidence of any reduction of these breaches but more alarmingly, I have witnessed the escalation of breaches and on a much wider scale. Through this medium, I am appealing to the mining community, the regulatory and enforcement agencies and the affected communities to work collaboratively to put a stop to this madness which, if unchecked, will contradict our efforts at sustainable development through a green economic pathway, compromise our stewardship of Guyana’s natural capital, and undermine the integrity of our legacy to future generations.

But yet he run and hide when Granger came calling for investors and smart Blacks to remigrate. Maybe he is smart enough to acknowledge his own limitations.
