KINGSTON - Hon. Robeson Benn urged qualified Engineers and Technicians “to stop looking down from their ivory towers” and help train their colleagues.
The Public Works and Transport Minister made this appeal on Friday February 21, 2014 during the Ministry’s party at the Transport and Harbours Sports Club.
“…[they] should help one another,” he said.
The Minister told the large gathering that despite the criticisms the Ministry faces its ultimate goal is to facilitate growth for the future generation. He proudly pointed out that Guyana is one of the few Caribbean countries to exercise growth.
He also called for improvements on risk assessments for projects. “We want to continue to develop a culture of safety throughout the country.”
Meanwhile, His Excellency President Donald Ramotar congratulated the Minister and staff for their key role in the infrastructural development of the country, and expressed optimism for more progress in 2014.
“Let’s recharge those batteries so projects are on time and rededicate ourselves to build a better Guyana,” His Excellency added.
Similar sentiments were expressed by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who added that Guyana “is our creation.”
Ministers of Education Priya Manickchand and Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran also joined in the Ministry’s celebration.
