We must have a good system in place. It is better in the long term for all Guyana. Do you think that the authorities in Suriname care? Have you ever looked carefully where the Guyanese have to embark and disembark on the other side? The have to walk in knee-high water then lift their butt into a "balahoo". This is what you are fighting for? You can do it, I can do it....would you put your family to embark and disembark a boat is such a dehumanizing form? So this thing must remain for some men like us and a few "ship jumpers" and "ruff-neck"? Correct? Guyanese must support legal taxis for the trip from South Drain or Nikheri to Paramario, not those "rubber-slippers" Surinamer operating taxi service with private cars. Wait one day when they smash up on the road from Nikheri to Paramaribo with a load of Guyanese. Guyanese must be more nationalistic. Our dollars and support is needed by these same tout across the river who threat us as refugees and try to rip us off. We farm for them, we fish for them, we build for them….. Without the Guyanese population in Suriname, their entire economy in shambles, and these people have been undermining our development for decades. How many of us haven't the imprisoned? How many boats haven't they seized? How many of our women haven't the employed as domestics and bullied? It is time to turn the table around. Red Lion Roger Khan liked the “Back Track” route too.

The Police can only take action on any wrong doing whilst the perpetrators are on land in Guyana, they have no authority on the water. In any case what are these operators doing illegally? Aren't they licensed by the Surinamese Authorities? If there is any blame to be doled out it should go to the Surinamese for allowing the boats to operate with overload and inadequate safety equipment. I guess the COP is not that intelligent , instead of saying that the matter is 'technical", he should have said he had no jurisdiction in the matter.......... What law is it that he has to enforce?
