One day after Chair of the National Toshaos Council (NTC) Derrick John said that the community of Chinese Landing should formally write the council requesting intervention to address the violation of their rights, Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai is now saying that nothing more can be done for the community.
Yesterday, when Stabroek News contacted Sukhai to find out whether her ministry will be taking any action to bring relief to the situation in Chinese Landing, the Minister said that every “legitimate” remedy has been exhausted.
“The Ministry have done everything that we could have done to assist them with all domestic remedies. They chose to go to the court. So there was nothing else that we can do at this point in time, because it’s not going to be correct for us to make a comment anymore.
