Jagdeo threatens to pull Barama concessions

President Bharrat Jagdeo speaking to a large gathering of laid off Barama Company employees at the Guyana International Conference Centre

President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday declared that Barama Company Limited has “another think coming” if it is the company’s intention not to restart plywood operations here, following the laying off its 274 Land of Canaan workers.

The workers were made redundant following damage to a boiler at the company’s East Bank Demerara location in early October.
Jagdeo made the statement at a meeting with the workers, where he announced a three-month assistance package for them,
