Several years after Barabina Hill in the Mabaruma Sub-region started to experience issues with its main access road, residents are still fuming over its deplorable state.
A recent visit to the community by Stabroek News allowed for a firsthand look at the road which many residents now refer to as the “Barabina swamp.”
Travelling to and from Barabina is a challenge. The road, which is inundated by almost 2 feet of water only allows for vehicles to travel to a certain point. The rest of the journey is continued on foot along a walkway that was constructed using a ‘Jubilee grant’, which Barabina was awarded last year.
