Dear Editor;
I consider it my duty as a resident of Region 3 and a citizen of Guyana to publicly send appreciative remarks to the Regional Executive Officer of Region 3 – Mr. Denis Jaikaran and by extension the Government of Guyana for the many improvements Region 3 has seen over the past year.
Mr. Jaikaran upon assumption of office immediately brought relief to the many commuters who traverse the Parika area just in-front the stelling . One would recall the large muddy pot holes that were present just in front that stelling which was not only a disgusting sight for many years but a complete hindrance to people who uses the Essequibo River. Today that said area is no longer in mud with pot holes. In-fact it is now paved with bitumen. This was a respectable and well appreciative job done by the REO.
Secondly, a number of rice farmers would have expressed their gratitude to the REO for his timely intervention in assisting them by providing fresh water to their crops during that long dry season we all would have recently overcome. Mr. Jaikaran who himself came from a rice farming back ground understands what it is to be a rice farmer and will always do his utmost to assist rice farmers within his region.
Thirdly, all schools within Region 3 can now confidently boast of some form of infrastructural improvement. The most recent infrastructural work is currently going on at Essequibo Islands Secondary on the island Wakenaam. Fourthly, the health sector has also seen massive improvement. Leonora Cottage Hospital was recently given a face lift and Parika Health Center is now state of the art. Within a matter of months the Leguan Cottage Hospital will get an X- Ray department and more improvements are on its way for the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Editor I can full the letter column space with all the works this remarkable gentleman would have completed and is in progress with but that would be selfish of me for many other persons would like to express their views on matters of public interest.
In conclusion I wish to say confidently that Region 3 is indeed blessed to have Denis Jaikaran as the Regional Executive Officer and the APNU AFC as our government. There are few who are doubting the development but it is tangible and even the jaundice of eyes can see it.
Ganesh Mahipaul.
