Ministries to team up to end garbage woes in the city

Georgetown : The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development is hoping to solicit the support of a number of other ministries in bringing to an end the city garbage problem, especially around the markets and commercial areas.

Minister in the Ministry, Norman Whittaker said that the ministry has taken the initiative and engaged the Agriculture, Health, Public Works and Tourism Ministries for their support.

According to Minister Whittaker, there have been meetings, with the aim of collectively arriving at the areas where there is a huge buildup of garbage in the city, the measure taken to address such occurrence and the ministry that will take the responsibility for them.

Minister Whittaker said that since this meeting, the Ministry’s staffs have been visiting the various groups in the city responsible for garbage. Special emphasis has been placed on visits to the market and commercials areas for which the council has responsibility.

Minister Whittaker said that the ministries will meet on January 11 to determine which agency will be responsible for what tasks.
