All of the families affected by the Mahdia dormitory fire which claimed the lives of 20 children have signed agreements with the government to accept $5m which would constitute the settlement of all claims possibly arising out of the May 21st tragedy.
A statement on the agreements was issued yesterday by the Attorney General’s Chambers following media reports on it.
Prior to yesterday, the Guyana Government had not disclosed the construction of the agreements with the families and more importantly that the families were accepting a settlement of possible claims.
