Residents of the small community, Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, for the second time, have accused the Government of turning a blind eye on them and the condition of their roads.
Residents of the community which is east of Samatta Point and the Grove Housing Scheme, complained that they are disappointed over the situation. According to one resident, the then President Bharrat Jagdeo, during a community meeting in 2004, challenged the residents there to hold the government to task as $250M has been earmarked to be spent on drains and roads, electricity and water.
The promises of the then President were questioned. The villagers are now calling on President Donald Ramotar to do “something about the road.”
One resident, Sheriza Kumar, said that her husband’s vehicle would frequently land in the huge pot holes through her street and would end up in the work shop constantly.
“When we watch the TV we does see the government awarding contracts but we nah hear about this road. We living under this pressure for years now; it is getting over bearing,” Shane Zamat claimed.
Taxis refuse to go in some streets late in the night because of the pot holes.
