Dear Editor,

Congratulations to Mr. Robert Persaud for his stand on the forestry
fraud, including the fines and suspended concessions.

It is finally a joy to know that a Minister is finally doing his job!
Let us all congratulate Robert Persaud; he seems to be one of the few
that is getting the job done.

We must now ensure that the fines are paid by Barama, and we also need
to seriously examine whether this are grounds to get them out of out
forests.

As regards the local operators, their concessions should be confiscated
forthwith; they have been doing this for a long time.

Come on, Robert, let's get down to business and get serious about this
issue.

We have lots of alternatives to destroying our forests.
