Though promising interventions, the Minister lamented the dearth of drainage works done especially in preparation for the rainy season.
“It seems that the City Council has not been doing any work whatsoever in these areas,” Mustapha said.
He added, “Interlocking drains have been neglected for a number of years. That is why when you look at the sluices and the pumps, they are clogged.”
Flooding in South Georgetown has been a huge concern.
Last year, President Dr. Irfaan Ali promised residents that this woe would be addressed.
