People’s Progressive Party General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo said on Thursday that the Muritaro Primary School in Region Ten, will be raised above ground level to counteract flooding at the academic facility.
He was responding to a question posed by Stabroek News at a press briefing held at Freedom House, in relation to the development status of the school, given that the new academic year commenced on September 4.
“At the Toshao conference, several of the residents raised this issue with us including the Toshao, and we said that we will be moving the school up to higher ground because it has been flooded when the tides in the river are high so we are working to address that,” he said.
