AS contractors submitted their final timesheets, marking the end of their employment under the Community-Based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (CEPEP), several of their workers called on the government to rehire them.
An estimated 10,500 workers had relied on CEPEP for their livelihoods, and many said they are now facing an uncertain future.
Among them, Vishnu Maharaj, 50, of Tarodale, is a father of three and the sole breadwinner for his family, including a 16-year-old son with cerebral palsy.
