As 2012 draws to a close, the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs is pushing to deliver on promised assistance to Amerindian communities. It is in this regards that subject Minister Pauline Sukhai, just three weeks after visiting Region Nine, returned for three-days (December 21-23), and delivered on pledged support for transportation assistance to Taushida, Wowetta and Surama.
Taushida, received a brand-new John Deere tractor to the tune of $10M, whilst Wowetta and Surama each benefitted from a mini-bus costing $2.9M. Taushida will use the tractor to support its farming activities while the mini-buses will reduce transportation woes of the village council and residents of the Region Nine communities.
Despite the year 2012 being a challenging one for the Ministry with several projects affected by budget cuts including those that support Amerindian villages’ development, the Ministry has been working diligently and sought to deliver on all commitments made to Amerindian communities whether it relates to boosting transportation or electricity via solar panels.
During Minister Sukhai’s November 29-December 3 visit to the Region, Katoka, Toka, Shea and Pai Pang each received a tractor and trailer costing $10M. A motorcycle was delivered to Senior Councillor Gloria Duarte of Rupertee Village, South Rupununi, to assist her in carrying out her functions, and for community purposes, especially for health care.
