HAVANA, June 16 (www.cubanet.org) - All the workers at the "El Jíbaro"
sugar complex, in Sancti Spíritus province, had their incentive pay
suspended and were given a general reprimand after the discovery that 11,000
dollars of agricultural chemicals were missing.
The chemicals should have been guarded by a special agency, but they had
been moved from their warehouse in order to take in a load of imported rice.
Instead, administrators forced the workers to assume the guard duties as a "voluntary"
effort.
Because the government rarely sells or allows to be sold to private
consumers certain supplies, agricultural chemicals among them, there is a
thriving black market in them. The supplies inevitably must come from government
stockpiles, whence they are "diverted," in the current Cuban idiom.
