The team engaged with residents from central Bartica and surrounding areas, inclusive of Agatash, Byderabo, Dagg Point, Potaro Road, Mora Camp, Kalcoon and other riverine areas. Residents were able to engage the commissioners on meaningful discussions, which aids in the advancement of the work of ERC. The commission, a release on Wednesday evening said, took the opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to promoting harmony and good relations among all the people of Guyana.
The session was also attended by regional officials, the mayor, senior members of the Police Force, and local media, among other stakeholders.
The ERC team was led by Chairman Shaikh Moeenul Hack, Commissioners Deon Dick (Ras Khafra), Norris Witter, Ashton Simon, Chandrowtie Sarran; CEO Gomin Camacho, and secretariat staff.
The team also distributed toys to over 300 children residing in the town and nearby communities in an effort to spread the joy of Christmas.
The visit to Bartica concludes a myriad of outreaches across Guyana, which were conducted by the Commission since being reconstituted in March of this year.
