These centered primarily on the leasing of land to RUSAL and the blocking of a key roadway.“This meeting is to re-examine the proposals made by both parties on March 3. They are closing in on a decision… at the end of this meeting they will be responding to the company in writing.”Ms. Sukhai told Kaieteur News that she was there to provide “guidance and advice” to the Village Council regarding the leasing of land.“I am representing the Village Council and the villagers; there are positions on which the community needs guidance.”However,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, similar optimism was not expressed by some of the villagers. One resident expressed concern that the villagers will fail to get some of their key demands. The resident said he was also unhappy that no Regional officials were present at Thursday’s discussions.He alleged that officials from the Amerindian Affairs Ministry “turned down” a suggestion from villagers that Region Ten officials attend the meeting. However, Ms. Sukhai said that this suggestion was never made.The dispute between RUSAL and the Upper Berbice residents escalated in late April after RUSAL set up a checkpoint at a roadway that villagers had been using for decades, but which the Council had leased to RUSAL.Residents alleged that this had prevented them from having access to logging concessions and harvesting millions in already cut logs.Residents had responded by blocking the roadway and stringing coils of rope across the Berbice River to prevent RUSAL barges from traversing the waterway.Deputy Toshao Victor Walker and other villagers had blamed former members of the Village Council of entering into an agreement which was more advantageous to RUSAL than to their community.He had explained that around 2005,Cheap Green Bay Packers Jerseys, members of the previous Council leased several acres of land at Kurubuka (located some seven miles from Hururu) to RUSAL for $1.2M per month.
