Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar on Saturday visited the Parika and Leonora markets in Region Three to meet with vendors and discuss challenges they are facing.
During an invited comment, the minister reiterated that the Government will continue to be on the ground to ensure citizens’ concerns are heard and addressed. Minister Indar’s first stop was at the Parika market.
“It is our view that we have to continuously be in contact with our people, to hear their concerns, and that’s why we’re around walking, meeting people,” Minister Indar said.
“We’ve collected a number of issues there that we have to address following today’s visit,” he added.
As he walked-through the shopping area, the minister also scheduled an upcoming meeting with the vendors to follow – up on their issues and challenges.
Meanwhile, at the Leonora market, among the most pressing issues raised was the market road, which vendors said have been in a deplorable condition for a number of years.
In response to the concerns raised, Minister Indar assured the vendors that construction works on the road will begin within the next six weeks.
“This road here, everyone said they need this road paved because it’s muddy, slushy and people have to ply their trade through this and we have to intervene to fix this road. So, we’ll be doing that shortly because it will bring great relief.”
