Basdeo Panday has written to Attorney General Anand Ramlogan asking him to withdraw an appeal filed by the previous government regarding Caroni lands.
In the letter, Mr. Panday said the workers were upset after the PNM Government reneged on promises made after the closure of Caroni 1975 Limited. These he said included a promise that they would be given access to lands belonging to the company, and that they would be granted leases within a reasonable time of the acceptance of VSEP packages. Mr Panday said the case was presided over by Justice Lennox Deyalsingh who ruled in favour of the workers. He added however that the PNM Government filed an appeal, which, to this day, is still pending. Mr Panday, in his capacity as President of the Basdeo Panday Foundation, is now calling on the Government to withdraw the appeal, so that workers can enforce the High Court ruling.
