Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon, says the cost of maintaining Guyana’s sea defence is a major drain on Guyana’s resources, as he emphasised a need for policymakers to consider removing important aspects of the country’s public infrastructure to higher ground.
“We live in a low lying coastal State…one of the priorities for low lying coastal States is to look at how best you can re-locate to higher ground.
Harmon’s statements were made in response to questions during a post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday.
