The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport is asking the public to refrain from defacing and vandalizing the monuments and historic sites around the city. The most recent monument defaced is the 1823 Monument located on the sea wall.
In a statement, the ministry said “We are disheartened by such (a) distasteful act especially at such a time when Emancipation celebrations are fast approaching. These sites are of great historic value and should be held in high regard by all who visit them.”
