With littering and garbage disposal still a major issue, especially in Georgetown, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) is calling for more enforcement of penalties to help curb the social problem countrywide.
Chairman of the PSC Komal Singh told the Stabroek News that the government said it has planned a cleanup exercise this month and the body plans to fully participate. However, he said that periodic countrywide cleanup initiatives only help temporarily and that maintaining a clean environment has to be the culture of Guyanese.
Singh said that while littering was illegal, it was astounding to see the amount of garbage piled up across the country and questioned the enforcement being done to ensure the laws are kept.
