Ramjattan to seek answers from Parliament on new trawling licences

Khemraj Ramjattan

With the issuance of two new trawling licences shrouded in secrecy, APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday said that he will be seeking answers from the National Assembly.

Ramjattan told Stabroek News that he will today be delivering the questions to Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs, so that the nation can get clarity on what he believes is a “serious issue on the sustainability of Guyana’s seafood”.

This newspaper understands that  the licences were given to a local company which is financed by a large Chinese company.
