The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) and the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) should repay the descendants of enslaved and manumitted Africans by offering lands and paying royalties, in compensation for the benefits they reaped from slave labour, Noah Yahshuarun, leader of the Descendants of Enslaved and Manumitted Africans of Guyana, has stated.
Yahshuarun made his case on Monday before the commission of inquiry (CoI) established to investigate African Ancestral lands at the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission.
His testimony was a continuation of a presentation he made on August 21st.
