Dear Editor,
Based on the reports from the newspapers on the recent ruling by the Honourable Justice Diana Insanally, I wish to commend the Judge on her ruling. I saw a similar ruling by the Honorable Chief Justice since 2008.
As far as I am aware, the Amerindians, like all peoples of Guyana, have rights, but none of these rights is absolute or intended to be used in an unlawful, highhanded and arbitrary manner.
I bought four mining permits from GGMC and caused to be invested a huge sum of money over the past 18 years. Using their indigenous cover and threats of violence, the Amerindians are unlawfully extracting gold from areas within my mining permits. They are also unlawfully giving permission to other non Amerindian miners to extract gold from the lands.
The Amerindians are receiving monies from these persons and they are destroying and polluting the environment. All of this is being done with the knowledge and approval of the directors of GGMC and the senior officers who refuse to take action to prevent the illegalities. The law is very clear. The Amerindians have no entitlement to minerals.
I trust that law abiding Amerindians, and other cheerleaders of the Amerindians will condemn the unlawful conduct of the Amerindians and non Amerindians who claim to be part of indigenous village councils.
