Recognising that miners are not working efficiently, the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) has set up a Technical Services Unit (TSU) which, while currently manned by one employee, is intended to increase the productivity of the sector.
This pronouncement was made on Wednesday when the GGDMA held a members’ meeting to give an update on their accomplishments so far, and on future plans. Head and currently the only member of the Unit, Vasquez Ramdas, who has been at the association for more than five years, gave an overview of the TSU’s aims and what they have done so far.
Established last year, the TSU was transitioned into the unit it is today from the association’s Environmental Department, and according to Ramdas, one of the aims of the unit is to provide technical consultancy services to all members of the association, free of cost.
