Residents of Den Amstel, West Coast Demerara were told on Sunday that they must be able to “put pressure on elected officials… to represent your interest.”
Minister of State Joseph Harmon made the comment as he was responding to complaints made by residents of Den Amstel and surrounding areas during a Cabinet outreach.
During the outreach, held at the Den Amstel Primary School, residents complained of deteriorating roads, poor water supply, breaches in the sea defence, clogged up drains, lack of recreational spaces and an unco-operative Neighbour-hood Democratic Council (NDC).
“You, the residents, do not have to wait until a minister comes to raise your these issues. It is time for you the residents to activate NDCs and [the] RDC [Regional Democratic Council].
