DEAR EDITOR,
A few weeks ago, I visited my Aunt’s property/land situated in Drysdale St., Charlestown, along with their Lawyer’s Assistant.
The premise is located behind a hotel. My Aunt recently died in the USA and my cousins will soon return to Guyana, after more than two decades abroad, to rebuild their home.
I was shocked to find black bags of human faeces in the yard and the stench was unbearable.
There is a big concrete building on Princes Street opposite the No. 1 Dispensary, which is used as a bond for two businesses. It has an attached piece of concrete structure to the building at the back of the yard used as a living quarter.
There are a number of persons residing there who don’t have a toilet, so after they defecate, they throw their faeces over the fence into my relatives’ yard.
I was even more shocked and upset to discover the very people who don’t have a toilet would sell food and beverages.
Sadly, unsuspecting passers-by and students would purchase food, snacks and drinks with no idea whatsoever of the unhygienic environment in which their snacks are being prepared.
Food handler’s certification needs to be enforced, and there should be proper inspections of the premises and conditions under which food is being prepared for sale to the public.
Yours respectfully,
Concerned Citizen of Guyana,
Listen how to run an oil country
