Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha yesterday said that workers attached to the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) received their wages and he strongly condemned the Opposition for being mischievous and peddling information that the workers were not being paid.
The Opposition in a statement released on their social media platforms said that “considering the recent developments surrounding the payment of wages and salaries at the state-owned Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), the Parliamentary Opposition the APNU+AFC demands that the government of Guyana and the Minister of Agriculture come clean with the entire population and give reasons why GuySuCo has failed to prepare and make timely payment of wages, salaries, and pension to its workers.”
According to the Opposition, “this is even more worrying when it is noted that GuySuCo has received more than $5 billion in subvention for 2023.”
