Minister of Public Service, Sonia Parag said that she was blocked on Tuesday from visiting the Bella-drum Community Centre building by Opposition Member of Parliament Vinceroy Jordan and the Chair of the Community Development Council (CDC) Julian Davids.
She said that the visit stemmed from an outreach by President Irfaan Ali held three weeks ago.
During an interview with Stabroek News, yesterday, Parag said that during the presidential outreach in the community, a resident requested that government look at the Community Centre to determine whether it is feasible to install a library, ICT hub or host training programmes for the youths there. She added that a promise was made to have the area checked out and to determine a way forward.
