Brazil recommits to Lethem Road

Brazilian officials have reiterated the political commitment of Brasilia to proposed infrastructure projects here including the hydropower project in the Mazaruni and the Linden-Lethem road.

Over the past two days, the Guyana-Brazil Joint Commission on Infra-structure Projects met at the Guyana International Conference Centre and discussions centred around the progress relating to the Mazaruni hydropower project and the Linden-Lethem road, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Critics have said that Guyana has moved slowly on these projects, several of which have been seriously on the agenda for the last 20 years.

The Governor of the State of Roraima, Francisco Rodrigues and Senator Romero Juca, Vice-President of the Brazilian Senate travelled to Georgetown to participate in the meeting. They paid a courtesy call on President Donald Ramotar at the Office of the President during which discussions were held on potential areas for new cooperation between the two countries including air-links, the Ministry said.

How many commitments and signing ceremonies are required before they build the dam road and hydro project, already?

It's time for both governments to move beyond political commitments and get to actual physical and financial actions to bring these two projects to reality. Twice each year during the rainy season, the Linden to Lethem Trail becomes an impassable muck much more suitable for slimy creatures than for transport of goods and people. This project must be closely monitored to prevent the corrupt practices for which both countries have long been known. Guyana needs all the infrastructure it can get. Thanks Brazil.
