Mon Repos residents ...

The resident who is in his late 70s said that throughout his life, he has never seen a president or a government that is in every community and meeting with the people.

"I lived in New York, but I travelled to a lot of countries, and I can tell you I have never seen anything like what we are experiencing here in Guyana right now. It is the right thing to do for the people and the country. The government is supposed to work for all the people of a country, and I am proud to know that we have a government that is doing that for the nation," he said.
