Dear Editor,
Essequibo is a place to behold and be proud of. Essequibo’s roadway, particularly the frequently plied highway, maybe as a result of lighter traffic, is indeed in excellent condition. In some sections, it is a bit dark, but the roads are primarily free from pot holes and rough spots.
However, there are a few meandering sections of the road where drivers need to proceed with caution. It would be very interesting to examine accident types and frequency on the coast. This is where I see development in a very important context.
Guyana can have all of the relevant amenities in place, but without proper maintenance and monitoring, we will not continue to move forward. A few bridges are in need of sprucing up or maybe even replacement with new ones.
Essequibo must now lead the way where coconut oil production is concerned. The potential is huge and I urge the relevant authorities to ensure that adequate investments are made. This industry can be expected to offer employment opportunities, both locally and internationally.
The 10th ‘Essequibo Nite’ was indicative of unity, hard work and great hope. In fact, the participants displayed a wide array of skills, talents and scope. The scene at the Anna Regina Community Centre was nothing short of a second GuyExpo.
The government should unquestionably come to light with what is taking place in Essequibo. Guyana has a lot to offer and it is events like these that can distinguish us from other countries in this part of the world.
I applaud the Essequibians for their recent and ongoing success. The government must also continue to provide the people with the necessities that they need to continue in their ever-forwarding vein.
Sincerely,
Kishore Mathura
