Dear Editor,
There have been media reports that President Granger speaking at the launch of DDL’s 50-year-old rum said inter alia: the country’s rum industry is precious, and it must be protected and preserved in the face of this peril.
He said that workers’ jobs and the livelihoods of those who indirectly depend on the industry are at stake, while the loss of foreign exchange and excise earnings by the rum industry can result in “severe problems in our economy”.
The expression of our dear President regarding DDL’s workers has demonstrated his care and concern with respect to the employees and their families. Will our President whose Government has placed Wales Estate at stake have similar love for the affected Wales workers.
Yours truly,
Fredrick Yuvraj
