Up to last night the government was continuing to repair the roofs that were damaged by a ferocious storm on Wednesday.
Minister in the Ministry of Public Works, Madanlall Ramraj posted the following statement:
“I am currently at the home of Reliance resident Brinet Williams, where our teams are carrying out repairs to her roof after it was damaged by the recent severe weather. Our teams have been on the ground all day, and this team will continue working throughout the night to ensure that this family can rest comfortably under a secure roof tonight.
“This is not a gimmick for us, putting people first is not just a slogan, it is the guiding principle of the PPP/C Government. Under the visionary leadership of His Excellency President Dr. Irfaan Ali, we are committed to ensuring that every promise made to the people is delivered upon and, wherever possible, exceeded.
“Tonight, one more family will have the comfort and security of a roof over their heads once again. As a government we are determined to leave legacy where leadership is measured by action, every commitment is honoured, and every life is positively impacted”.
During a visit to the storm-hit Essequibo Coast on Wednesday, Ali had pledged tarpaulins for those with damaged roofs and had said that on Thursday roofing sheets would be provided and repairs done.
Over 100 private and public buildings were damaged on the Essequibo Coast by the afternoon storm.
