Stabroek Business has learnt that the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) could be seeking the passage of legislation designed to make membership of the Chamber compulsory for business houses that qualify.

Senior Vice President of the Chamber and Management Specialist, Vishnu Doerga told Stabroek Business in an interview on Wednesday that while this is not the first occasion on which the idea of compulsory membership of the Chamber had arisen he hoped that the  idea of a  significantly expanded Chamber would find greater favour with all sections of the society including both the business community and the political leadership and government.

Doerga said that plans to push for mandatory membership of the Chamber were intended to strengthen the Chamber and
