It’s time to move the capital
Dear Editor,
There can be no denying that Guyana is prone to flooding, especially Georgetown which is below sea level. During heavy rainfall certain parts of the city floods. Flooding undermines your infrastructure, causes financial loss to people and brings with it the risk of water borne diseases.
Isn’t it about time someone takes the initiative and decides to move our Capital into the interior as rising sea levels is likely to lead to more flooding or, maybe more investment is needed in irrigation and drainage to get the water off the land as quickly as possible.
The alternative is to sit back and do nothing and await the next flood.
Yours Faithfully,
Sean Ori
