Sugar workers trucks sink in East Berbice road craters

-anger boils over

By Stabroek editor | 8 Comments | Local | Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Anger and frustration boiled over again today along the East Bank Berbice road corridor as trucks transporting sugar workers and belonging to the Guyana Sugar Corporation became stuck in the huge craters along the roadway.

When Stabroek News arrived at the chaotic scene, traffic had ground to a halt and scores of concerned residents and hire car operators as well as the occupants of the estate trucks, the sugar workers, congregated along the poorest section of the road– Heathburn– to vent their frustration as calls for a new road were renewed.

Where are the PPP apologists? This is the road Bharrat Jagdeo promised to fix when he ran in 2006. Ramotar is a failure. He allowed Guysucko to sink and now the sugar workers are being sunk in craters on their way to work.
