GATOSP has decided to abide by the decision of the ministry on seabob licences - Stabroek News

Dear Editor,

Although the Ministry of Agriculture has put forward its best efforts to answer questions about the issuance of two sea-bob licences last year, one particular newspaper continues to bombard the Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, claiming that his decision to issue the said licences was ‘an act of corruption’.

The article GATOSP has decided to abide by the decision of the ministry on seabob licences appeared first on Stabroek News.
