Residents of St Ignatius, Kumu, Quarrie, and other neighbouring villages in Region Nine were the beneficiaries of a legal mobile services initiative that was the brainchild of President Irfaan Ali and executed by the Attorney General’s Chambers and Ministry of Legal Affairs.
According to a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI), on Friday a team from the aforementioned ministry along with the Deeds and Commercial Services Registries Authority, Restorative Justice Centre, and other essential agencies, conducted a three-day outreach in the region, beginning in Lethem.
The DPI reported that the services were met with overwhelming appreciation from the residents, many of whom had struggled for years to obtain much-needed important documents due to the challenges of travelling to Georgetown or Essequibo. As such, the mobile outreach provided efficient, cost-effective, and hassle-free access to these services. And with the establishment of a permanent office in Lethem, residents will soon have year-round access to these essential services.
