RESIDENTS of the Kabakaburi community in Upper Pomeroon River are loud in praise and thanks to the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government for investing some $2M to improve sports facilities there.
Toshoa Cleveland Simion said the money was provided through Central Government by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport to upgrade the sports ground and construct a new pavilion.
He said the investment by Government will benefit hundreds of youths and give them opportunities to develop their sporting skills and excel on to the national and international stage.
The Toshoa said the intended beneficiaries have welcomed the development and expressed thanks to the Government.
He said the ground was graded and leveled by a bulldozer and some $1M were spent to upgrade it.
Mr. Simion said the village has two clubs ‘Blazer’ and ‘Macaseema’.
