While lauding the investment of the offshore developer Tristar Incorporated at West Demerara, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo last Friday emphasised that investors must respect laws and policies governing the environment and all other areas.
“People have to follow the rules all over. It is a rules-based country…they all have to follow the rules,” Jagdeo told a news conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in response to questions on government’s expectation of investors.
It is the first time government has openly chided the removal of the large swathes of mangroves to facilitate the development at Versailles/Malgre Tout.
