Likewise the over grown chicken farm at Lot 18M Chateau Margot, East Coast Demerara, is not only a dangerous health hazard but a major health disaster waiting to explode. This lot housed both the chicken farm and the ‘L&D Shopping Center’. It is surrounded by 10 habitable homes. There are hundreds of chickens in this farm. The dust, stinking smell, flies of all description and the rats keeps multiplying, all to the detriments of the health of others. If this issue is reported and the owners get to know, then that person is out for a good ‘cuss down’. These people are wrong, yet they behave as if they are so powerful that no authorities can stop them.

This matter was reported several times to the NDC Chairman and other authorities including government ministers. Rather than closing down it is expanding.

Can the Environmental officers, the Public Health Inspectors, other health officers and the Central Housing and Planning Authority please make an urgent visit to this site to have a first hand experience. The print and electronic media is also invited to experience what the ordinary Guyanese have to endure at those who feel that they are above the law.
