Housing and Water Ministry launches 2023 Mash band

The Housing and Water Ministry’s Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) on Friday launched its 2023 Mash band at the agency’s Brickdam, Georgetown Headquarters under our theme “Bridging Communities, Transforming Lives, as a One Guyana”.
Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water Susan Rodrigues, at the launch, urged the team to “bring the energy” and to ensure they enjoy themselves while doing so.

She also thanked the staff for their hard work over the past few years and urged them to enjoy each moment in the celebration of our nation’s Republic anniversary. Similar sentiments were also expressed by the Permanent Secretary, Andre Ally, who reminded the team that Mashramani is a time for togetherness and encouraged them to work as one body.

CH&PA will be defending its title as the Best Decorated Non-Commercial Building. The agency is also the reigning champion for best full costume (small) and will be coming bigger and better in 2023 under the medium category.
This year’s costumes, which are intended to portray Guyana’s development through the housing sector, are designed by Randy Madray.
The audience was treated to a special performance from some of the Mash Day revellers and musical performances by some of our local artistes including Melissa Roberts popularly known as “Vanilla”.
