APNU Councillor lauds Govt for creating jobs, transforming Reg 5
APNU Councillor Muhammed Ishmael
A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Councillor at the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) Muhammed Ishmael has praised the current People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration for the work it has been doing in the region.
The Councillor lauded the governing party for creating jobs and building the infrastructure in the region.
Ishmael, who was at the time addressing the RDC, pointed to the road network in his community, Rosignol, saying that many jobs were created to undertake the project.
“Residents in the community have jobs and some of the contractors keep them on. So, it is a very good thing for the community because it has helped to change some of them and changed their lives. I hope that such activities would continue in other neighbourhoods in Region Five in the same manner so that we can get this kind of result that would uplift our community,” he said.
The approaches that are being constructed in the area
Ishmael, however, pointed out that projects are being executed for the construction of the approaches to streets and as such, asked for the Works Committee to visit those projects.
“I hope when the Works Chairman comes, he would not come like a thief in the night but inform us so that we would be able to deal with the hiccups.”
Regional Vice Chairman, Rian Pieters explained that it is the aim of the PPP Administration to have development take place all over the region so that the livelihood of residents can be improved.
“These activities would provide meaningful employment. I want to thank you for highlighting and applauding the Government for the work that is being done to assist the people across Region Five.”
Only recently, the Local Government Ministry donated 10 tractors and trailers to NDCs in the region. This comes at a time when authorities in Region Five have been losing the battle against the indiscriminate dumping of solid waste.
Councillor Adrian Singh referred to this as being a timely gesture as he called on residents to assist in ensuring that their environment is kept clean.
Meanwhile, the Vice Chairman pointed out that a waste disposal site is being developed in the Blairmont area. “Over the next few weeks, we should be able to enjoy a cleaner Region Five.”
He called on residents to support their NDCs in ensuring that they have a clean region.
