The Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce (CCCC) last month wrote the Government of Guyana regarding the possibility of it (government) taking over ownership of the bridge to reduce tolls but President Irfaan Ali has ruled this out.
Ali on Monday in Berbice emphasised that if there is a part the government can play in reducing the tolls then this will be done.
Ali, who held three community meetings on Monday in Region Six, explained that his government believes in a “free and open society” as such “government can’t go and take over the bridge.”
