Sterling Products Limited donated 20 half gallon bottles of Heavy Duty cleaners, and 600 bars of soap; while Ansa McAl Trading Limited donated 80 gallons of bleach.
The Mayor also pointed out that these products will be used to sanitise the Markets, Health Care Facilities and all other public spaces which fall under the council’s watch.
He also expressed his gratitude to the GCCI for making this donation possible.
Speaking to Kaieteur News, President of GCCI, Nicholas Boyer said that the M&CC had requested the Chamber’s support in their sanitisation efforts.
To this end, he explained that the Chamber approached these businesses and received favourable responses. “The council had asked us to help sanitise the markets etc., so we asked, and these two companies were more than happy to assist,” Boyer said.
The GCCI head also expressed his gratitude to the companies for playing their social roles in supporting the fight against the virus.
