DPI, Guyana, Tuesday, April 16, 2019

 

Cabinet today held its weekly meeting at State House in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

The engagement was held simultaneously with a Government Outreach at the University of Guyana, Tain Campus on the Corentyne. The ministers discussed plans for the annual Arrival Day observance in the region and the opening of the Indian Arrival Monument at Palmyra.

Following the conclusion of the scheduled Cabinet Meeting, the Ministers then travelled to the outreach to interact with members of the public.

The exercise at the Tain Campus commenced at 10:00hrs and continued until 17:00hrs. Scores of residents turned out to engage with technical and other officials from numerous government ministries and agencies on matters of concern and to seek resolution to problems.

The ministers then engaged in 17 community meetings across the region, some of which have concluded up to press time while others were still in progress.

Cabinet is scheduled to host its weekly meetings in other administrative regions in the coming weeks and government will continue its ongoing outreach programme and community meetings in Regions 3, 5 and 10 in the coming weeks.

Today’s Cabinet meeting was the first in Berbice since the Coalition Government took office in 2015.
