The Stabroek News has already made it pellucid that one of the country’s most enduring food and beverage businesses that have afforded services to the people of Guyana and to visitors to the country, Banks DIH Ltd, have as a matter of both lawfulness and fairness, the right to occupy their various trading spaces without having to endure the physical encumbrances and other forms of hindrance and inconvenience that continues to obtain at the downtown Georgetown premises housing DEMICO House. This ought to be the case as a matter of right and there can be no question that the relevant authorities have a responsibility to support the company in pursuit of that right. Truth be told, it is to the credit of neither central government or the Georgetown municipality to play a game of ‘pass the buck’ over whose responsibility it is to ensure that the rights of one of the country’s most enduring food service businesses benefits from a prerogative to which it has every right.
