Lindeners set Guyana on fire.

The operations were sold to Iamgold for US$10M that later resold it to Bosai Minerals

for US$46M,

it included all the shops – Machine Shop, the biggest and best in the Caribbean,

Carpentry Shop, Automotive Shop, and a few others, all equipped with the latest

machines and tools.

All the equipment including huge draglines, scrapers, tractors, railroad tracks

locomotives, etc.  Most, if not all of this was cut up and sold as scrap metal.

Hard to believe, but true. 

How much money did this exercise generate and where did it go?

stewwwpppsss...he can harp on that slush fund to teef til de cows come home !

The opposition quite rightly snuffed the Standpipe flowing with 20 b... :tongue:

BIDCO, the Georgetown sister company, had many properties, some of which were taken over by the government and some were sold,

eg, Bidco Head  Office in Main Street, now the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport,

the Customs office in Church Street, Duke St Guest House, sold to Roraima

and the adjoining property, Forshaw Street property and  the Training Centre in

Queenstown, and a host of others.

How much were these properties sold for and what happened to the money  ?

SCA .....your turn 

So instead of harping on about the electricity subsidies that have been going to Linden

over the years, let us hear a bit more about all the money that was passed on to the

government, through NICIL or the Privatisation Unit :

so we can have a balanced perspective.... :cool:

According to the auditor general , all the money went to general govt revenues  and so your PNC sources are  obviously  lying

I don't put much stock in whatever ketchie posts...his slanted views leaves no room for his credibility to stand.

hahahahaha...Truth staring at y'all like down the barrel of a gun :

continue the Denial .... :: ::

A group of persons in solidarity with their comrades in Linden.Working Peoples Alliance (WPA) executive member, David Hinds Sunday night said protests by Lindeners have now shifted gear from only demanding that the electricity tariff increase to be scrapped to insisting that Senior Superintendent, Clifton Hicken to be charged with murder. Three protesters were shot and killed by police last Wednesday while they blocked the Wismar-Mackenzie Bridge across the Demerara River. Government and the opposition have agreed to hold a Commission of Inquiry and steps have been already taken to remove Hicken as Commander. Speaking with Demerara Waves Online News as a group of persons held a candlelight vigil outside Parliament Building, Brickdam. Hinds said the protest has now gone beyond the intended five days following the shooting deaths and injuries to several other persons. “If the electricity hike was just a Linden thing, then now that they have murdered these three people the matter has moved from just a Linden concern to a national concern,” he said. He reasoned that not only Hicken is allegedly culpable but also the shooters, Police Commissioner, Leroy Brummel; Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee and President Donald Ramotar through the chain of command. Professor Hinds said the mood among Lindeners is that President Donald Ramotar is not welcomed in Linden because he had not gone there to discuss their grievance about an electricity rate hike before the protest and he should not also go after police gunned down Lindeners. “If murder charges are instituted, the electricity hike is suspended then I think the leaders would be permitted by the people in Linden to begin some kind of negotiations,” he said. A Political Scientist and long-time WPA activist that fought against the Burnham dictatorship on the streets, Hinds said Wednesday’s police assault on the protesters was a political decision. “Here were people protesting in a political way and so the police is not going to make that decision. That decision has to come from the high-command and I think the President let the cat out of the bag when he said he is standing by his Home Affairs Minister,” said the WPA executive member. The Guyana Police Force has already publicly denied receiving instructions from the political directorate. The Police Commissioner is already on record as saying that police fired teargas and pellets at the protesters only after a group of persons were robbing others and burning their vehicles. That has been refuted by organisers. The Region 10 Chairman is on record as saying that Lindeners do not condone criminal activities. Hinds also linked the recent controversial editorial in the government-controlled Guyana Chronicle that accused the Peoples National Congress (PNC) of socializing Black youths to attack and dispossess East Indians. The newspaper and the Guyana government have since apologised for that publication but no one has been disciplined. Instead, a long letter by Office of the President staffer and PPP activist, Jason Abdullah in the Guyana Chronicle and the governing party’s aligned Mirror newspaper sought to defend and justify the editorial.
