A section of the gathering at the meeting in Canal Number Two Polder
Meanwhile, at other meetings at Canal Number Two Polder and Hubu, the minister assured of improved drainage to the farming communities. He said most of their drainage issues came as a result of the closure of the Wales Estate.
“You had drainage issues but it was compounded with the closure of the estate and those are the social contributions GuySuCo was making. When we, as a party, said GuySuCo is beyond sugar, many persons were saying that we were only concerned with sugar workers. Now we are seeing the ripple effect that the closure had on the many communities,” he added.
The minister also told farmers who were leasing lands from the National Industrial and Commercial Investment Limited (NICIL) for agricultural purposes more will benefit similarly under a new project.
