Major developments for Kwakwani in honey production, community tourism-President Ali

According to Dr Ali, discussions have already begun with the Cuban government to have a specialized team visit here to assist with this.

Further, in the coming months, President Ali said the government is also working to develop a community tourism sector in the community.

“In the coming months and years, we will be working with you to develop a community tourism facility here in Kwakwani so that you can develop your tourism sector for the beauty of nature that surrounds you,” he noted.

Additionally, President Ali said Demerara Bank has assured him that in two weeks’ time they will be distributing the first 40 loans to community forestry organisations and foresters in the $900M Revolving credit scheme.

“We will be investing in facilities that will allow you to bring value added production to your forest products…That is what we have bought to this country…transformation,” he said.

Over the past months, the PPP/C government has gained more political support from Region Ten, which has been historically controlled by the opposition People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R).
