-Says 70-80 per cent of imported alcohol is smuggled

All is decidedly not well with aspects of the administration of the business sector in Guyana, according to the Chairman of the Economics and Finance Committee of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) Ramesh Dookhoo. Addressing the opening of an Anti-Corruption Workshop hosted by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance at the Pegasus Hotel earlier this week, the veteran PSC executive member makes pointed reference to what he says is the prevailing unhappiness of the PSC with the breaches of various laws across the country. Dookhoo, purportedly, is concerned over what he asserts is the subjective application of laws by regulators. Specifically, Dookhoo is reportedly calling for increased penalties for those found culpable.
