– tells residents of Gov’t commitment to ensure their financial independence
REGARDLESS of the geographic location of communities, and settlement patterns, the People’s Progressive Party Government is committed to their development, Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai told residents of Malali and Muritaro, two riverine communities of Region 10 during a visit on Sunday.
The Minister and a team of officials from the Ministry, the National Toshaos Council and the Region 10 administration engaged residents on pertinent issues regarding their communities’ sustainable development. 
Minister Sukhai reiterated Government’s commitment to substantially improving the financial independence of the communities in the upper Demerara River.
Amerindian communities, she said, across the country, are becoming financially independent as government continues to implement policies and programmes that are transforming their village economies and sustaining their traditional way of life and surroundings. (GINA)
