The hassar fish pond project embarked on by the Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs to provide a livelihood for the remote Region One Amerindian community, Tobago Hill, has become a white elephant 3 years after its implementation.
During a visit to the community by Stabroek News on July 10 the ponds had to be examined from a distance because the bridge to access the area where the 4 ponds are located had floated away because of torrential rainfall. The hut that was built to house the caretaker of the project was also abandoned.
