President Ali takes part in tree-planting exercise

– as he leads national clean-up campaign

Despite the inclement weather, President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, on Sunday morning, led the national clean up initiative, and participated in a tree-planting exercise at the new Vreed-en-hoop roundabout in Region Three.
The initiative first began in 2022, under President Ali’s leadership, and has since been rolled out annually across the 10 administrative regions, in collaboration with businesses, public and private institutions across the country, as well as public-spirited citizens and volunteers.
The President remained hands on with the initiative, frequently joining citizens in removing waste and scrap metal from communities nationwide.
While the President was in Region Three, other Government officials, including the Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips, members of civil society and the private sector, were at different locations playing their part.
Members of the joint services including the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) turned out in their numbers, demonstrating the public’s widespread support for the Government’s cleaner and greener Guyana initiative.
Clean-up activities that began at dawn continued well into the evening.
