Residents of Black Bush Polder on Saturday complained to Minister with responsibility for Finance, Dr Ashni Singh about the need for Wi-Fi and better roads and water in their communities.
The residents have raised the same issues several times in the past with ministers of the previous government and current Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha.
One resident, Chetram Tulsi, 53, took along a bottle of water to show the minister the exact condition of the water they are getting. The other residents gathered at the Lesbeholden Primary School for the community meeting also agreed with Tulsi stressing that for many years this has been the situation. Residents also said that they are unclear whether the pipe system has been “flushed out” anytime in the past.
