Unless President David Granger agrees to a meeting within a fortnight, miners yesterday warned that the country will be treated to a slowdown in declarations and mass protest over issues of contention, including new tax measures that they say will hurt their operations.
Forty-five of the 120 miners present at a meeting of the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) at its North Road headquarters voted to have the association document their concerns in an open letter to President Granger. This letter, which is to be published in the local media, will call on the president to make himself available for a meeting with the GGDMA within a fortnight.
