–as Region Five MoM members start construction

THE Region Five members of the President’s Men on Mission (MoM) have started constructing a new house for Lowawatty Ramroop, who, because of financial constraints, has occupied a dilapidated structure at Cotton Tree for several years.

According to information from the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Five, Ramroop lives with her son, who is suffering from a prolonged period of illness, and her granddaughter.
“Her home collapsed several years ago, but due to lack of financial resources she had no other choice but to find comfort in the same structure which is leaning dangerously,” the regional administration said.

The entire structure was demolished on Monday and construction was scheduled to begin yesterday. All works are expected to be completed with one week.

The team is headed by Member of Parliament, Faizal Jaffarally, with funding from several stakeholders in Region Five.
