Dear Editor,
I applaud the notable achievement of the Georgetown municipality and by extension the APNU+AFC government for the massive environmental and aesthetic transformation of not only the city of Georgetown but the country as a whole.
With this same notion, I wish to acknowledge those sanitary workers who laboured throughout the clean-up campaign. They endured the kind of horrendous, environmentally unfriendly, insanitary and unhygienic conditions that many of us would never subject ourselves to even if we were handsomely compensated. Some of these workers are even inadequately equipped with the necessary personal protective gear to minimize exposure to all sorts of viruses, infections and diseases.
They are still working long hours in uncomfortable conditions with little or nothing to consume, yet complaints are made when persons are unable to comfortably park their vehicles on their parapets or driveways because of the remnants of decades old clogged drains. Probably the many floods which have been experienced have been forgotten, along with the fact that these were the result of poorly maintained drains.
We ought to be a bit more appreciative and compassionate about the impactful clean-up initiatives and the workers who continue to make these possible. I therefore beseech my fellow countrymen, to be grateful to these sanitary workers in the countrywide clean-up campaign.
These hardworking and committed men and women, continue to demonstrate in no uncertain terms the spirit of unswerving loyalty and service to their country.
Yours faithfully,
Tyrone Fitzherbert
