Region One Chairman discloses plan to relocate Mabaruma Amerindian Hostel

Brentnol Ashley

Regional Chairman of Region One Brentnol Ashley has announced the region’s plans to have the Mabaruma Amerindian Hostel relocated for better accessibility to land and water as well as electricity.

Earlier this month, a letter was written to the editor by Craig Sylvester, who highlighted poor conditions at the Amerindian Hostel, with families living in unsafe and unsanitary conditions.

“I was reminded of the movie Apocalypto where you were forced to watch the insane savagery and violence on-screen, unable to do anything. What I saw and what has apparently been transpiring at the Mabaruma Amerindian Hostel and to people of Amerindian descent amounts to economic debauchery of the worst kind and it is something the current administration needs to immediately address. Families, water-babies, sleep on beds spread on the concrete a mere few feet from the semi-swamp the Regional Administration has maintained in the compound of the Amerindian Hostel.
