Dem boys seh every year government spending billions pun drainage. But where is de achievement. Ask dem farmers in Mahaicony, Mahaica, Black Bush Polder and dem people wah house under water at Kwakwani.
Well right now de majority of de people in Guyana nah concern about achievements but about de measures wah gan improve de drainage, flood or no flood. Dem boys waiting fuh hear wah dem gan do with dem antiquated and dysfunctional kokers. Ensuring better drainage and storage would be an achievement, not simply spending more money.
