Stop this illegal gambling
Dear Editor,
Please permit me space in your newspaper to express my disgust at an illegal practice that occurs almost daily in Sisters Village, East Bank Berbice, especially on Sundays.
Both teenagers and adults usually engage in illegal gambling at a particular spot that is recognized as a wash bay. This has been occurring for almost on year now.
And what disgusts me more is that this illegal gambling is being done approximately three hundred metres away from the Sisters Police Station. It seems as if the officers there are oblivious to what has been occurring for the past months.
The repercussion of this illegal act is a negative effect on the children in the community. In fact, many children are now seen doing the same at various corners in the village. I therefore request that those in authority take the necessary action quickly to stop this illegal act.
