New communities to be crafted – Minister Bulkan
Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan
Housing has been incorporated under Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan’s portfolio, and according to the new Minister, the focus would be on bettering the quality of life of Guyanese, and prioritising the creation of vibrant communities.
These, the Minister pointed out would mean not only constructing houses, but would cater for the other aspects of what make up a community.
He said that A Partnership for National Unity +Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) coalition’s manifesto spoke of ‘A Good Life’ and therefore these things will be done in keeping with the manifesto.
Minister Bulkan added that this would see the inclusion of areas which would make up communities; security, adequate lighting, roads, community play grounds and recreational facilities among others. All of the areas of creating meaningful human habitation, shelter, safety and recreation, will be catered for in creating these vibrant communities.
Observing that water is the most basic of commodities, Minister Bulkan noted that there have been significant investments in the areas of housing and water. He however, pointed out that during the 10th Parliament complaints were made of the lack of transparency in the execution of the programmes.
The Communities Minister stated categorically that the current Government is committed to ensuring that there are no wrongdoings, both in the creation of housing settlements and in the allocation and award of house-lots, and that there would be zero room for corruption or wrongdoing
