The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) on July 28, 2015 distributed tools to residents of the North and South Ruimveldt communities in an effort to assist them in their clean-up exercises.

A release from the ministry said that the residents of the flood prone communities received wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes and industrial gloves from Neilson McKenzie, the Ministry’s Community Coordinator.

“We have to invest in our people, a mandate I proudly execute on behalf of Minster David Patterson and the Government of Guyana,” he stated.

The objective of distributing these tools, which were donated by Muneshwers Enterprise, is to enable communities to help clear clogged drains and canals, the release said.
