–to aid in enhancement of the environment

THE Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has got onboard the enhancement drive in the administrative regions, and recently presented brush cutters to 27 hospitals and health centres.

Representatives from the various hospitals and the regional executive officers (REO) of the 10 administrative regions,  along with representatives of the Cornelia Ida (CI) and Ruimveldt youth groups, received brush cutters at the  ministry’s Kingston office.
Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud, acknowledged that it was another event in which the ministry used taxpayers’ money for the development of the people and enhancement of the environment.

Also at the ceremony, the ministry handed over some books that were written by former Guyanese Presidents Dr. Cheddi Jagan and Mrs. Janet Jagan, to the learning centres of Regions 8 and 9.
This was part of a distribution exercise that commenced a few months ago that saw the donation of such books to the education departments of the regions with the exception

of  Regions 8 and 9.
