Opposition Leader, Azruddin Mohamed says he has donated his entire May’s salary to assist families along the Essequibo Coast, Region Two, following the recent storm that damaged homes across the area.

On his Facebook page, he said that his full monthly salary was used to purchase zinc sheets, rafters, tarpaulins, plastic, and other building materials to help more than 30 families begin rebuilding their homes.
