Junior Minster of Public Infrastructure Annette Ferguson has apologised for the inconvenience caused by a sunken dredge to users of the Mazaruni channel, in Region Seven, according to a Government Information Agency (GINA) report.
For weeks, residents have been complaining about the sunken dredge and the government’s failure to have it moved.
Ferguson, in an invited comment to GINA, said she understands the plight of those affected and is apologising to them. The minister also urged residents, tourists, boat operators, miners and school children to continue to have patience as the ministry works to bring relief shortly.
