14% of that sum – SASENARINE

“In total the turnaround and stabilization plans over these 10 years would have taken from the Treasury about US$238 million. Here was a company that provided this nation with over US$1,655 million in cash support and in return was just asking for 14% of that sum to be plowed back into the industry as a means to protect and preserve 15,000 jobs.  This is what Team Granger could not do.”

“But there is more, since directly the industry supports some 60,000 people including some 28,000 children and indirectly over 110,000 people mainly across rural Berbice and Demerara.”
