Benn downplays Berbice speedboat fears

Minister Robeson Benn walks out of the meeting after being described as a dictator.

Minister Robeson Benn yesterday tried to quell fears over the speedboat service introduced for the Berbice River, following the removal of the pontoon MB Sandaka.

“It is safe, fundamentally… If you, as a parent or individual, believe that travelling on the boat is not safe, don’t use it .That’s your choice. You have an alternative,” Benn told a small meeting at Rosignol Ferry Stelling.
