Truck and sandpit operators in Bartica are currently on strike to demonstrate their frustration against the injustice that is being meted out to residents of the community by the Interim Management Committee (IMC).On Monday, residents staged a protest in front of the District Office, to vent their annoyance over what is being described as discrimination against the neighbourhood commercial enterprise.Truckers parked in front of IMC district office during Monday’s protest.The sandpit operators claim that they have been forced out of work by the recently installed IMC. The workers have been replaced by a private operator. This negates their legal rights to have access to the sandpits. The residents are now crying foul at the IMC, calling their practices “corrupt” and lacking transparency.“We have been operating backhoe loaders in the sandpits for more than 10 years, but after the Government dissolved the Neighbourhood Democratic Council and installed the IMC, under the new management every Bartica resident was stopped from working in the pits, preventing us from earning an honest living,” one operator stated.According to the businessmen, after the takeover,Authentic NFL Jerseys Wholesale, the IMC purchased a backhoe loader but the machine was dysfunctional thus it required the back up of another loader.“The arrangement did work well with the operator, since is only when the backhoe loader not functioning well  then they does send fuh this man cause he ain’t got a permanent job and he got another man working wid he and he can’t afford to pay he so…. However the IMC allows a private frontend loader operator and completely stopped we, the people of Bartica from working in the sandpit.”Truck and sandpit workers are currently on strike alluding to the “blatant bullyism,” portrayed by the IMC authorities.This Stephen Belle is a bully; he been oppressing the people of Bartica long now and if we allow this to continue what will happen to our children? It’s greed and covetousness on the IMC’s side.The residents of Bartica want an explanation to the occurrence. “How can the IMC allow another private operator to work and prevent Barticians from doing so and why should they be given exclusive rights to that which belongs to the people of Bartica?” another resident asked.The community is calling upon the Local Government authorities to install an acceptable system that will allow a free market for all goods and services.Meanwhile, vice chairman of the Bartica IMC, Stephen Belle said that the decision was made by a 15-member committee.“The decision was made based on votes. The sand pit is Government-owned and the council decided not to have it opened to public use. The committee has a mining permit to operate in the sandpit from the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission and it pays royalty to (GGMC)”He noted that when the IMC took over from the NDC, the latter left a debt of $2.6 million owing to the GGMC resulting in the current outcome.
