As four years of disappointment continues, frustrated residents of the village of Edinburgh yesterday picketed Parliament to protest what they say has been government’s repeated failure to deliver on promises to repair the East Bank Berbice Road.
Yesterday’s protest follows another held last Wednesday at Edinburgh after President Donald Ramotar revealed that it was unlikely that the road would be reconstructed before 2014. Ramotar, during a meeting with the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association recently said that “to do that road we are borrowing money from the IDB and again they want a study done before they disburse the money.”
He nevertheless promised that his government would try to accelerate the process.
