General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Bharrat Jagdeo on Friday made it clear to Berbicians that sugar estates closed by the current government would be reopened if his party wins the upcoming polls.
Jagdeo, who was speaking at the a public meeting at Arch Road, Rose Hall, Corentyne, seemingly sought to clear any doubts in the minds of Berbicians, including the many former sugar workers who erupted into cheers upon hearing his promise.
“We have decided that despite all that they are saying, we will reopen the sugar estates. The sugar estates have to be reopened to give energy back to this region,” he told the crowd packed with supporters from the Corentyne and Canje area.
