With Carifesta X less than three weeks away, the government has embarked on a campaign to spruce up the roadways between Georgetown and Timehri. The roadways within Georgetown will also benefit from this campaign.
The demarcation lines on the roadways are being repainted between Timehri and Lombard Street in Georgetown. After this exercise the programme will be extended to the city.
The repainting of the lines on the roadways started last week and are expected to be completed by this weekend. According to the workmen who were repainting the lines, the centre lines of the East Bank Highway should have been completed yesterday, and today they would have begun painting the edge lines of roadways.
“It is a hard task, but we have to work to get Guyana all set for Carifesta. We want to showcase Guyana, for all its good,” explained one of the men.
Minister of Public Works and Hydraulics, Robeson Benn, maintained that while the repainting of the lines coincided with Carifesta X, the exercise was part of the routine road maintenance programme, and were not being done specifically for Carifesta X.
The Minister explained that as the weather was good, the lines were being repainted, an exercise that is periodical.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
