Dear Editor,
While I do not support the proposed toll increases by the Berbice Bridge Company Inc (BBCI) with regards to the Berbice River Bridge I contend that the move by the PNCR-led APNU+AFC Government of President David Granger to take control of the Berbice Bridge is draconian.
How does this Government justify increasing rates and prices including VAT on electricity and water bringing hardship to thousands of Guyanese yet will not allow BBCI to increase tolls. I do not support a huge increase in tolls.
But a company has income and it has expenses. The Government must demonstrate that BBCI was profiteering with the proposed increase in tolls before taking such archaic draconian measures.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
