MINISTERS of Government are currently in Region Nine (Upper Takatu-Upper Essequibo) to hold a series of meetings in various communities of South-Central, South and North Rupununi.

Residents in those communities will have the opportunity of presenting their issues and raising concerns at the community meetings scheduled for today and tomorrow and have them addressed accordingly.

The ministerial team is headed by Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, and will meet with the residents at Annai, Apoteri, Crash Water and Semonie among other villages. Ministers will also address the concerns of residents in Kumu, Potarinau, Yupukari, Shulinab, Lethem and Parishara among other villages.

The Rupununi meetings come a few months after similar exercises were held in the very region. Those meetings at the start of this year brought significant relief to residents, as the host of issues which were raised were addressed.

Among the successes then were the commissioning of several schools and smart-classrooms and a Legal Aid Clinic for Lethem. Other communities also had their concerns addressed by the 19-memberministerial team.

The government intends to continue to focus on the needs of all Guyanese, ensuring a ‘good life for all’. (DPI)
