MINISTER of Finance Dr Ashni Singh, on Friday, handed over to the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre a 15-seater bus to boost the Centre’s transportation operations, in fulfillment of a commitment made by former President Bharrat Jagdeo when he visited the Centre late last year. The bus was acquired at a cost of $6,199,857 and is equipped with a roof rack and access ladder.
During the presentation, Minister Singh complimented the institution for the critical role it has played over the years in providing quality care for some of the most vulnerable persons in our society, the differently-abled.
Members of the management committee of the institution, as well as the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central were present to witness the donation, another partnership initiative between the Government of Guyana and a non-governmental organisation.
