President Irfaan Ali on Saturday said that the flooding currently occurring across Guyana is one of the worst disasters the country has ever faced and projected that it will take some time for the country recover once the situation has abated.

Ali made this statement at the opening ceremony of the Saipem Guyana Offshore Construction Facility on Water Street.

Having just returned from an outreach in Region Seven, the President stressed that it is clear that the countrywide flooding is one of the worst disasters that Guyana has faced in history.
