For that matter rent a room at the local police station and sell to the people in the lock-ups!!! Yeah! This is the next move!!!

The planning and zoning laws prohibit certain businesses from being built or conducted in certain areas. Someone has been paid off here,and a complaint should be lodged to the ministry concerned, about this matter. However, the opportunity for corruption is so rife,that the investigator from the ministry could also be bribed, making the complaints lodged a basket case and a waster of time and effort.This is the way of the corrupted machinery in Guyana.

So, if I want to set up a saw mill next to a church or my neighbor, no matter where I live, I can do so without fear of violating a city or town or village ordinance thet expressly prohibits me from operating such a business where I live.
