Excavation only being done in one part of Wakenaam

Nov 24, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

It is utterly disgusting and mind-boggling to see what is taking place on the island of Wakenaam. This island is agriculturally based, there are four government excavators on this island, yes, let me repeat, four.

Can someone explain why the entire fleet of excavators are consistently doing work only on the Southern part of the island? For the two years, farmers on the Northern side of Wakenaam haven’t had a single grain of earth being excavated by any government excavator, except when they rushed into Moor Farm with an excavator just before the Local Government Elections to do some work after residents protested.

When you contact the Wakenaam N.D.C, they would give you some real laughable explanations as to why not one single excavator out of four can be in Caledonia, Moor Farm etc.

You see Mr. Editor, when you voice your concerns on this island, you are being labelled as anti-government but it’s not, because I am sure those at the higher echelons of power do not have the slightest clue as to what is taking place at the lower end. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed, elections are coming up, an excavator is most likely to be rushed into the North and taken out as soon the elections are over.

By the way, I do not have excavation works to be done, other residents do.

Sincerely,

Clint Gordon
