Residents say Moruca developing rapidly under PPP/C Government

MORUCA, part of the Barima-Waini Region 1 North West District, is developing rapidly under the People’s Progressive Party /Civic (PPP/C) Government.

Reports are that the large and growing population has transformed the community over the past 21 years because of massive investments made by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government in agriculture, health and education, and to improve infrastructure and social services.

A recent visit to the area has revealed that Moruca residents now own cars and minibuses, and are offering transportation services to the general public.

One resident pointed out that under the previous PNC Government there was nothing like hire car and mini bus service in Moruca. He said this PPP Government has a heart for the people of Guyana, and has spent large sums to construct paved roads so cars and minibuses can operate.

The resident, a farmer, said the Government has also developed the waterfront area of Kumaka with paved roads so residents can do shopping and other businesses in comfort.

Another resident pointed to the modern buildings being built in Moruca and said that that shows that development is taking place. He said residents now have better houses and telephone cell services, and he called for the Government to consider giving Moruca township status.

Moruca also has electricity services, and several residents operate speedboat services between Moruca and Charity in Region 2 on a daily basis.
