The Guyana Metal Recyclers Association is calling for the intervention of President Irfaan Ali to have the country’s scrap metal trade reopened after being shut down for months.
General Secretary of the association, Stephen Bourne, in an interview with Stabroek News yesterday, said that stakeholders in the industry have been affected severely by the stopping of the trade since late September 2020.
Bourne spoke to this newspaper just after the association held a meeting where stakeholders were invited to address concerns regarding the closure of the trade and its effects.
