Once again poor people who could least afford to bear these costs will feel the squeeze. This is what the PPP and their friends stand for. Exploitation and misery for poor Guyanese and mansions and Pradovilles for the PPP.

This man Transport Minister Robeson Benn is poor excuse for a black man. I hope you have a clear conscious for all the sins you have committed against poor people and black people. The got you in everything you giving the Chinese the TV station. You breaking down the people business at the airport.getting ready to breakdown people houses. then you at the sugar industry when the one what ever he name did get sick. Beware you will be the black fall guy for the PPP/C. I hope you got a good tell all book when you term done because believe me it gon done, with out anyone respecting you PPP/C soup drinker. That will be your legacy. you were the best at carrying out orders.

All the US, Canada and England based Guyanese should not travel to Guyana for one or two years in protest of this and the scanner for incoming passengers. Delta is already assisting in doing that by pulling out of Guyana. Everyone should take time off from Guyana and focus on themselves and those in their household solely for a year or two.

It is very disrespectful to not fully reimburse every passenger that was affected. I think all visitors and tourists should stay away from Guyana for a while to send a message that they are fed up waiting for the government to get their act together. They should cut down the money that is sent there by half to emphasize the level of seriousness. Let business slow down for a while so those private business leaders will finally do the right thing and speak up and most importantly act and demand a better society from their government.

Pertaining to scanning visitors' suitcases. Atleast the products that are brought in by the 'suitcase traders' are the real thing or a better quality than the chinese fake and poor quality products that have flooded the Guyanese market. Do you get value for your money when you buy cheap chinese products that break up in a short while?
Do government ministers pay the same duty like everyone else, or do they get tax free this and tax free that, or able to pass things in taxfree basically because of their government affiliation? If so, what makes them so special, afterall, they just represent us, not rule us or master us as slaves?
The government is just finding snakeish ways to get money to fill their pockets or replace the money that they used to fill their pockets.
Why is VAT so high and the get all those duty free concessions? Why are they stealing taxpayers money or money from loans or paying themselves so much money to build mansions when a patriotic person would have fixed the infrastruture of the country or pursue job creating endeavours for the out of work masses?

High taxes are the government's way of legally robbing its hard working citizens. Why do government ministers and advisors get so much money for bad management and advice, whilst poor people and children cannot even get an honest chance to better themselves and their livelihood? Why would visitors and tourists want to come to a country where crime is extremely high and even the police who are suppose to protect you from it are sometimes the ones involved in it? Why doesn't the government stop showing their incompetence and actually make valiant effort to get this under control?

Tourism and crime are closely interlinked, why don't they see that?
