Restore Guyana goes to Region Two

Sep 12, 2015 News

Stakeholders, Regional Councillors, persons representing the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils in Region Two and Essequibians from every other walk of life, were afforded an opportunity to discuss and to reflect on consultations and recommendations to re-brand Guyana.
Spearheading the forum were the Chairman and members of the National Task Force Movement.
Those discussions were held on Friday in the Region Two boardroom. Retired Army Major General Joe Singh, heads the national taskforce. He was accompanied by Dr. Shewnauth Punalall.
Maj. Gen. Singh explained that the Restore Guyana project comprised five committees which would also see the involvement of eight persons, who have been chosen already to manage the target areas that would be the main focus to restore people’s lives and enhance Guyana’s physical appearance.
“The Restore Guyana project is an instrument for re-branding. Guyanese can be inspired to see the need for change within themselves, families, schools, Religious institutions, neighbourhoods and communities. That could be achieved by systematic changes in ethics, attitudes, behaviour and a sense of responsibility in all of us. These things will sustain the Restore Guyana project.”
The project would also allow for people to become involved in communal activities where pride would be adopted to keep one’s community, school, national structures clean. This, Maj Gen Singh stressed, would eventually result in total physical transformation, nationally.
Singh noted that phase one of the project is intended to be completed for Guyana’s 50th independence anniversary but not before a stakeholders analysis.
“Start at the Community level, what it is that can be communally and don’t wait on the NDC’s and to apply self-discipline.”
He said the project targets areas that include drainage, Solid Waste management and derelict removal, Traffic management, sustainable, urban and rural and physical structure removal, Welfare management of the homeless, the addicted and mentally challenged, National Heritage Committee and public committee.
Singh urged Essequibians to take pride in sustaining the Region and its monumental structures. Essequibians, for their part spoke about frequent blackouts, poor roads in various areas on the Coast, poor internet and communication facilities, garbage issues and the need for proper mechanism to boost tourism in the Region.
