A face-to-face exchange between President David Granger and Guyana Metal Recyclers Association (GMRA) Secretary Michael Benjamin during a demonstration by the Association outside the Ministry of the Presidency on Tuesday may pave the way for fast-tracking the reopening of the metal export trade, closed by the government since July last year.
The GMRA and the Ministry of Business have been engaged in a vigorous discourse over the reopening of the trade and last Tuesday’s demonstration outside the Ministry of the Presidency was triggered by a letter sent to the association by Business Minister Dominic Gaskin providing a tentative date of November this year for the re-opening of the trade.
