Controversy yesterday erupted over a meeting between the Ministry of Finance and miners on Monday with the GGDMA stating that the talks had been derailed by the presence of “fringe groups”.
A statement from the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Associ-ation (GGDMA) yesterday on the meeting was diametrically opposed to one the day before from the Ministry of Finance.
The blistering GGDMA statement said it wished to state “categorically to our members that we have not agreed to any new position with the Ministry of Finance or the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
