Shadow Minister of Indigenous People’s Affairs Dawn Hastings-Williams has called on the government to stop the “lip service” and truly pay more attention to addressing the woes of citizens in hinterland communities.
During her budget debate presentation on Wednesday last, Hastings-Williams lamented that to date many residents of Cuyuni-Mazaruni (Region Seven) deplore the poor internet services offered by the information and communications technology hub in several communities. Resultantly, access to online education is challenging, she told the National Assembly.
