According to him,Wholesale NFL Jerseys Online, “I am not in a position to pronounce on other communities (but) I could speak directly for Bartica. The monopoly that MMC has on toll stations leading into mining district must end now.”Sherwyn Downer, Bartica IMC’s Press and Public Relations OfficerDowner has put forward a number of recommendations to address the near monopoly situation including a proposal to give a resident and/or a member of the business community of Bartica control of the toll station at Itaballi for instance.

He has pointed out that while revenue is constantly collected from the miners there is little to nothing being done for them.“The contributions of miners to the development of Bartica have not gone unnoticed,” said Downer. “Bartica depends heavily on mining so my call is in the interest of my community which is the gateway to the interior,Cheap NFL Jerseys China,” he added.According to Downer, apart from his personal call for a reduction of the toll he has been approached by a number of miners from Bartica to raise the issue in question on their behalf.“They themselves would like to,Cheap Jerseys From China, but are afraid of being victimized,Cheap Jerseys From China,” intimated Downer as he signalled his intention to reach out to the Gold and Diamond Miners Association to support his call for a reduction of the toll fees. “It is in the interest of their members and if this is successful it will benefit all stakeholders,” said Downer.“While I’m not a miner it does not take a miner to be part of the solution and a solution is very much needed for the industry at present. Raising issues of concern to miners is a risk I am willing to take as long as it has to do with my community.“I am willing to be bold and vocal as possible on any issue in the interest of my community; I have the interest of my community at heart,” insisted Downer.
