Trinidad and Tobago’s Food Production Minister Devant Maharaj is dismissing at-home criticism by farmers of the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which will see Trinidadian farmers utilising land in Guyana as baseless and politically motivated.
“Since we have announce the MoU signing and the declaration a year before, to date, I have, as minister, not a single letter, line, paragraph from any individual, organisation or persons pretending to represent an organization or concrete objections to this,” Maharaj stated during a press briefing at the Ministry of Agriculture alongside Minister Leslie Ramsammy.
Maharaj said that Shiraz Khan, the President of the Trinidad and Tobago Farmers Association, was “standing on a soapbox for political mileage”
