COLLABORATION ON ROAD WORKS
President Ali also announced that earlier this week, three contracts to the tune of $50m were awarded for completing the first phase of the community’s access road.
When phase one is completed, the President noted, the second phase will begin but will be done through collaboration with the residents.
He pointed out that officials from the Ministries of Public Works and Local Government and Regional Development will hold discussions on the way forward.
As soon as phase one is completed, we will move to phase two, but move to phase two in a different model, one in which the community is involved, one in which the jobs are created right here.”
President Ali also recommitted his Government’s “hard work, support and collaboration” to building a more sustainable and resilient community.
“We are going to continue to invest in you, we are going to continue to invest in this community, and we will continue to expand our services. But more importantly, we must bring the people along with us.”
He added that he is committed to keeping his promise of spending time in every community regardless of its size and to listening to the concerns and suggestions of residents.
“And I say to you today as you celebrate this heritage, that we are together. We are building a ‘One Guyana’ stronger than ever together, here in Laluni and all across the country.”
