Govt, Regional Council discuss boundaries of Mabaruma

Oct 17, 2015 News

The Ministry of Communities has initiated discussions with Region One’s Regional Democratic Council to define the boundaries of Mabaruma, one of the hinterland communities identified by Government to be transformed into a town.
Minister within the Ministry of Communities, Dawn Hastings-Williams, and a team of representatives from the Ministry of Communities and the Guyana Lands and Survey Commission were given a warm welcome when they visited the North West community.
During the recent two-day visit, discussions with regional officials and interaction with residents were conducted. Residents of several communities including Wauna, Tobago Hill, Kumaka and Hosororo have expressed interest in having their communities included in the boundaries of Mabaruma. They also offered many ideas for the development of their communities.
Many issues affecting residents, including the inadequate healthcare system, the delivery of education and living conditions were raised by citizens at a public meeting.
To have a better understanding of the challenges facing the health sector, the Minister visited Mabaruma Regional Hospital. The Regional Member of Parliament and Regional Chairman expressed their commitment to work with the administration of the hospital, Regional Executive Officer, and Minister of Public Health to address needs of the hospital and residents.
The Minister is of the view that a lot of work is needed to transform Mabruma into a town. However, this is a task the Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana is prepared to undertake with the people of Region One to bring development to the hinterland, she said.
Being a former headteacher, Minister Hastings-Williams believes that education is critical for development. And, therefore, improving the delivery of healthcare and education in the hinterland are priorities.
A tree planting exercise at the Mabaruma Secondary School was among the number of activities engaged in by the Minister.
