digging up the corpses and that four-man exhumation crews are being paid only Bs.F 200 (€uro 72) per desecrated grave.Sarabia says the otherwise unemployed miners are being taken advantage of since they have no kind of security, much less sanitary precautions in their work and has appealing to the Ministry of Environment (MinAmb) and and the Mayor of Tucupita to take immediate action and that the municipal engineering department must take a lead to ensure that all graveyards under municipality jurisdiction are in full compliance with health and environment regulations.
The opening-up of the graves and removal of the dead is said to be part of a local plan to build a by-pass through the site. Sarabia saus that as chairman of the municipal environment committee he has had an obligation to speak with the families of some of the deceased who are "deeply concerned by the manner in which the wholesale removal of the corpses is taking place."
"Besides the individual heartbreak of each and every mourner, there is the imminent danger that the unemployed miners who were hired for the job will unnecessarily put themselves at risk and become victims of pollution or disease for the paltry sum of Bs.F 50 (€18= $23.29) per worker per corpse!"

"They're Moving Father's Grave To Build A Sewer"
ReplyDeleteThey're moving father's grave to build a sewer/
They're moving it regardless of expense/
They're shiftin' his remains to lay down nine-inch drains/
To irrigate some rich bloke's residence.
Now what's the use of having a religion?/
and thinkin' when your dead, your troubles cease/
If some rich city chap wants a pipeline for his crap/
They'll never let a workman rest in peace
'Now my father in his life was ne'er a quitter/
And a quitter I'm sure he'll not be now./
And in his winding sheet, he'll haunt that privy seat/
And only let them go when he'll allow.
Now won't there be some bleedin' consternation/
And won't those city toffs begin to rave! /
It's no more than they deserve/
'cause they had the bleedin' nerve/
To muck about a British workman's grave.
