Seeing development everywhere except our Kwakwani

Feb 13, 2010 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
As a radio and local television fan it is quite embarrassing that I have to wait to be away from my home community to be able to hear local radio, and for the local television to be only bombarded by NCN news and programmes that are sometimes over a week old.
As a taxpayer, it would not be too harsh to conclude that despite all the development taking place in the field of radio and television, in 2010 Kwakwani residents are still unable to hear any local radio in their homes and the television programmes are showing every development except in our own community or region.
As a participant in the Guyana Poverty Reduction Strategy consultation from the community level to the national level, it is even more disgusting when one passes the signboard showing over $23million was spent to lay pipelines to rehabiltate the Kwakwani network. The pipelines were laid in mid-2004 and after nearly six years, the Kwakwani community is still to benefit from this multi-million-dollar project.
With the main road to the water treatment plant deteriorating and the pipelines exposed and damaging, it would be safe to say that this is millions of dollars gone wasted.
So to quote from a reggae song “I wonder who is responsible and don’t care a damn”.
