The frustration that goes with trying to invest in Guyana

Dear Editor,
After reading the news article “Guyana lost out on US$5M investment – Baron Foods Head” (SN, 17th December 2017) I am shocked at the inordinately long time it takes to process investment in Guyana.
I would have thought that the Government would welcome any investment into Guyana, as this would showcase that investors have confidence in Guyana, and this could act as a catalyst for more investments.
Yet Baron Foods Ltd spent years waiting on Guyana.
It takes a lot to attract investment and for investors to want to invest in Guyana.
I had thought that the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) was a one-stop shop for investment into Guyana.
Why the delay?

Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
