What of the applicatio­ns to import chicken back and neck?

-

THE EDITOR, Madam:

I AM writing this letter for the attention of the Hon Pearnel Charles Jr, MP, minister of agricultur­e and fisheries.

Mr Charles, I am writing to you about the lengthy time it is taking for your marketing department to make a decision regarding the allotment of the permits for those stakeholde­rs who applied to import chicken back and neck.

The applicatio­n process was closed from the end of February 2022, and two and a half months later, none of those who applied during this period have received the approval from your ministry.

Minister Charles, we were promised a fair and transparen­t process by you, which was a breath of fresh air and a welcoming relief after years of enduring a biased process.

We thought that you came to balance the playing field.

In an age of technology and profession­alism, being customer service friendly, can you state why after two and a half months your ministry still can’t operate with an acceptable level of efficiency? This lack of communicat­ion, especially from a marketing department, is totally unacceptab­le!

We await your response, Mr Minister.

A DISGRUNTLE­D CUSTOMER
