Sheila Harrichand, whose house collapsed during a storm at Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice two weeks ago, is calling on the region and the government to fulfill their promise of assisting her with rebuilding.
After the woman’s house collapsed and several roofs were damaged, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo along with the Regional Executive Officer of Region Five, Ovid Morrison, representatives of the Civil Defence Commission and other officials had visited her and other affected residents. During the visit, a promise was made to assist the residents with rebuilding their damaged structures.
But Harrichand yesterday told Stabroek News that not much has been done since for her. “Them [officials] been say how them go send one contractor and he go use them materials wah been good and build up back the house and that whatever else needed them been gon assist,” she said. However, her house is still without a back wall and a roof.
