Port Kaituma, in the North West District of Region One and Lethem, in Region Nine are both still without functioning morgues, according to residents.
At Port Kaituma, a freezer was delivered about three weeks ago. Residents say that it has not been installed nor has the building been wired, but Regional Chairman Fermin Singh is saying differently.
When contacted, Singh told Stabroek News that based on the information he received, the Port Kaituma Morgue is in operation. He told this newspaper in a brief telephone interview that the freezer was installed about a month and a half ago.
“I got information that they hooked it up,” he said,
