News to cheer about.  How about the frequency of electrical blackouts?  Is it getting better?

The electricity black outs in GT go back to well before I was a teen. The whole infrastructure needs to be redesigned. But corruption alone would make this a difficult task. It's so damn hard to find an honest subcontractor in Guyana right now. The ones that got the jobs during the PPP were abject failures. But alternatives are thin on the ground.

Now all of a sudden the pnc mayor of gt find it prudent to clean the drains. I wonder what was preventing them from doing so under the ppp?

That's because there was no PNC mayor during the PPP reign. There was however a PPP person called Sooba who ran the local council for a while until she literally got run out of the building. She didn't clean the drain either.

There was a PNC Dictator, Hamilton Green.

Without a doubt, Guyana's capital city is looking better and smelling fresher than it did up to May last year. Slowly but surely Georgetown will reclaim its once proud reputation as the Garden City.

Check your facts. There was no PNC mayor called Hamilton Green.

FACT: In August 1994 the Leader of the Good and Green Guyana (GGG) party contested local government elections against the PNC and PPP and the GGG got the most seats and the PPP voted with the GGG in the first City Hall meeting for Hamilton Green to be Mayor of Georgetown.

Dem PPP boys living in denial that Hamilton Green is only in that position because the PPP backed his party the GGG against the PNC. Even though the PNC lost that election, the PPP milkdrinkers on GNI still want to believe that the PNC won.

Those who supported AFC/PNC conmen will end up living with hand lamps and drinking Trench Water in AFC/PNC's Ko Ko Beah Guyana.

PNC's stench will remain for four more years.

Are you remembering your travails?

The main objective for the cleaning up in G/T is for the 50th independence anniversary. As soon as people get a good impression of the city and government, GT will go right back to the garbage city. I have some pictures of streets in Sophia that was lately done and they already need repairs from potholes. The coalition govt is well known for penny wise and pound foolish in getting anything done right the first time.

The objective for cleaning the drains and canals is to allow rain water to flow better and avoid flooding in the city. The PPP sat idly by and let the city flood every time the rain drizzled. 

Insufficient resources causes flooding in Region 5 – Chairman

By Shemuel Fanfair

Several communities in Region Five (Mahaica/Berbice) became flooded after a period of heavy rainfall on Sunday. The affected areas include Trafalgar, Lovely Loss, Bush Lot, Hope Town, Dundee and Mahaicony. If the current weather persists, residents and farmers alike stand to be affected.
While a number of homes in the region are under threat, several farmlands where animals normally graze have seen high levels of flooding.

Animals under threat

The Regional Administration has briefed the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) which have been collaborating with the Mahaica Mahaicony Abary/Agricultural Development Authority (MMA/ADA) to de-silt the outfall channel to the Trafalgar sluice.
Guyana Times has been informed that a hydraulic pump will be installed to alleviate the flooding.
As the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) continues to monitor the situation, it was noted that “additional excavators” are needed to clean the heavily clogged drains and trenches, especially in residential areas.
To this end, Regional Chairman Vickchand Ramphal has encouraged residents to report any serious flooding to their respective Neighbourhood Democratic Council or the RDC.
On Monday, Ramphal opined that the main risks residents face include loss of crops and livestock, as well as damages to appliances and property.
“The region doesn’t have sufficient resources to undertake the cleaning and de-silting,” the chairman told this newspaper.
Meanwhile, many rice farmers in the Region are still to harvest for the next crop. This follows many months of dry weather that destroyed much of the acreage in the area.
The MMA/ADA is a semi-autonomous agency of the Ministry of Agriculture with responsibility to “manage, operate and maintain all drainage and irrigation works in Region 5.”

Lawd a mercy, dis new govt floodin the country now, Oh me Laaaawdddd!!!!!  The sky fallin innnn ohhh me laaaawwwddd!!!!

Hay dumass, leprosy is curable and not a curse anymore except in the eyes of mal-educated nitwits like you who think you make sense in the above.
