Ensure Barama's compliance!
Kaieteur News, 25 September 2007
Dear Editor,
How ironic that the Panamanian registered ship loading logs of Guyanese
fine furniture timbers from Barama's barge in the Demerara River on
September 22, 2007 should be carrying the Chinese name “Benefit
Wisdom”.
If this is how the new CEO of Barama, Peter Ho, is starting his career
in Guyana, let us hope that the Guyana Forestry Commission, the Customs
Administration of the Guyana Revenue Authority, and the Minister of
Agriculture have ensured that the export paperwork is all in order and
that Barama's promised local investment in timber processing is on
schedule; as promised publicly by the Minister on December 8, 2006.
Oh, I forgot. That investment was promised by Barama in 1999.
