Dear Editor,
I consider it my duty as a resident of Region 3 and a citizen of Guyana to publicly express appreciation to the Regional Executive Officer of Region 3, Mr Denis Jaikaran, and by extension the Government of Guyana for the many improvements Region 3 has seen over the past year.
Mr Jaikaran upon assumption of office immediately brought relief to the many commuters who traverse the Parika area just in front the stelling. One would recall the large muddy potholes just in front of that stelling, that were not only a disgusting sight for years but a hindrance to people who use the Essequibo River. Today that said area is no longer muddy or potholed. In fact, it is now paved with bitumen. This was a respectable and well appreciated job done by the REO.
Secondly, a number of rice farmers would have expressed their gratitude to the REO for his timely intervention in assisting them by providing fresh water to their crops during that long dry season. Mr Jaikaran who himself came from a rice-farming back ground understands what it is to be a rice farmer and will always do his utmost to assist rice farmers within his region.
Thirdly, all schools within Region 3 can now confidently boast of some form of infrastructural improvement. The most recent infrastructural work is currently going on at Essequibo Islands Secondary on the island of Wakenaam.
Fourthly, the health sector has also seen massive improvement. Leonora Cottage Hospital was recently given a face lift and Parika Health Centre is now state of the art. Within a matter of months the Leguan Cottage Hospital will get an X- Ray department and more improvements are on their way for the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Editor, I could fill the letter column space with all the work this remarkable gentleman has completed as well as that which is in progress, but that would be selfish of me.
In conclusion I wish to say confidently that Region 3 is indeed blessed to have Denis Jaikaran as the Regional Executive Officer and the APNU+AFC as our government. There are a few who are doubting the development, but it is tangible and even jaundiced eyes can see it.
Yours faithfully,
Ganesh Mahipaul
