THE construction boom so evident in Guyana requires a reliable of adequate supplies of cement and it stands to reason that if Trinidad Cement Limited and its Guyana subsidiary cannot meet this demand, the government must allow other imports.

TCL is the height of industrial unreliability and five CARICOM countries have had their economies negatively impacted by the unavailability of cement.

As a result, they have had to resort to a waiver of the Common External Tariff to allow importers to meet the demands for cement.

What can be so wrong about this?

TCL cannot be wrong and strong and Guyana cannot be held to ransom in this matter.
