PNCR/APNU REGIONAL AND NDC COUNCILLORS ASSESS FLOODING ALONG THE CORENTYNE COAST

The People's National Congress Reform/A Partnership for National Unity (PNCR/APNU) expresses deep concern over the worsening flooding situation affecting several communities along the Corentyne Coast, particularly Villages No. 51, No. 53 and surrounding areas.

Over the past several days, residents have been forced to contend with rising water levels, inundated yards, damaged crops, restricted movement, and the growing threat to livelihoods and property. The situation has caused significant hardship for families, farmers, and small business owners who continue to bear the brunt of inadequate drainage and delayed interventions.

PNCR/APNU Regional Democratic Councillors and Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) Councillors are currently on the ground conducting assessments of the affected communities, engaging residents, documenting damages, and identifying urgent needs. These assessments are intended to ensure that the full extent of the impact is brought to the attention of the relevant authorities and that affected residents receive the support they urgently require.

The party's representatives have commenced engagements with the relevant government agencies, regional authorities, drainage and irrigation officials, and emergency response bodies to advocate for immediate relief measures and interventions aimed at reducing the impact of the flooding. Particular attention is being placed on improving drainage, clearing obstructed waterways, and ensuring that vulnerable families receive timely assistance.

The images and reports emerging from several communities reveal extensive water accumulation in residential and agricultural areas, highlighting longstanding concerns regarding drainage infrastructure and maintenance. Residents have repeatedly raised concerns about the state of canals, kokers, and drainage systems, issues that require urgent and sustained attention.

PNCR/APNU calls on the Government to mobilize all available resources to provide relief to affected residents, including emergency drainage works, assistance to farmers who have suffered losses, and support for households whose properties have been impacted by the floodwaters.

We assure residents that our Regional and NDC Councillors will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide periodic updates. We encourage residents to report flooding-related concerns to their local representatives so that they can be documented and escalated to the appropriate authorities.

At this difficult time, PNCR/APNU stands in solidarity with the residents of No. 51, No. 53, and all other affected communities along the Corentyne Coast. We remain committed to advocating for immediate relief and long-term solutions that will better protect our communities from recurring flooding.

𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐏𝐏𝐏/𝐂 𝐆𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓'𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍

The People's National Congress Reform (PNCR) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) express grave concern over the severe flooding affecting Regions 4, 5, and 6, including large sections of Georgetown and surrounding communities. Hundreds of families are once again being forced to endure flooded homes, damaged property, disrupted livelihoods, and significant hardship because of the government's continued failure to properly plan and manage Guyana's drainage infrastructure.

Guyana is a country that lies largely below sea level. Any responsible government understands that drainage and irrigation systems are not optional conveniences but essential components of national development and public safety. Unfortunately, the PPP/C government has repeatedly ignored this reality.

For years, the PNCR/APNU cautioned the government that its approach to major road expansion projects, particularly along the railway embankment corridor and in several sections of Georgetown, was fundamentally flawed. We warned that existing drainage channels were being compromised, reduced, or eliminated, without adequate alternative systems in place to facilitate the rapid movement of water during periods of heavy rainfall.

We further advised that drains, canals, and waterways must be regularly desilted and maintained, particularly given Guyana's vulnerability to flooding and the increasing frequency of intense rainfall events. These warnings and recommendations were brushed aside, ignored and fell on deaf ears.

Today, the consequences of that negligence are being experienced by ordinary citizens who are forced to wade through floodwaters, suffer losses, and endure uncertainty, while the government engages in public relations exercises and photo opportunities.

The recent and continuing flooding rests squarely at the feet of an ignorant, arrogant, inept, incompetent, and uncaring PPP/C government that has consistently prioritised optics over effective governance. Rather than investing in comprehensive drainage solutions and resilient infrastructure, the Government has pursued projects without sufficient regard for their long-term impact on flood management and public safety.

The flooding now affecting communities across Regions 4, 5, and 6, and parts of Georgetown, is not merely the result of heavy rainfall. It is the result of poor planning, inadequate maintenance, and a failure to heed expert advice and legitimate concerns from citizens, engineers, community leaders, and, most importantly, the PNCR/APNU.

The PNCR/APNU calls on the Government to immediately:
1. Deploy all available resources to assist affected communities;
2. Conduct an urgent assessment of compromised drainage systems in flood-prone areas;
3. Implement an aggressive programme of desilting and drainage maintenance throughout the country;
4. Review all major road and infrastructure projects to ensure that adequate drainage capacity is preserved and enhanced; and
5. Establish a comprehensive national flood mitigation strategy that addresses both current and future challenges.

The time has come for Guyanese to recognise that this government lacks the vision, competence, and foresight required to address the real problems facing our nation. Grand announcements, expensive ceremonies, and impressive headlines cannot substitute for sound governance and practical solutions.

The people of Guyana deserve a government that plans ahead, listens to expert advice, protects communities, and places the welfare of citizens above political image-making. The PNCR/APNU remains committed to advising the government and people of Guyana on present and future solutions to flooding, while standing with affected residents and advocating for the urgent action needed to prevent these recurring disasters from becoming the new normal.

The People's National Congress Reform (PNCR) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) are deeply concerned about the flooding affecting several communities across Region #4 following recent heavy rainfall.

Residents in a number of areas are experiencing rising water levels, damage to property, disruption to daily activities, and growing uncertainty about their safety and well-being. We extend our solidarity to all affected families and assure them that they are not alone during this difficult period.

PNCR/APNU Councillors across Region #4 are actively monitoring the situation on the ground and remain in contact with residents, community leaders, and local authorities. Our Councillors will continue to assess the impact of the flooding and will provide periodic updates to residents as conditions evolve. We encourage citizens to report flooding, blocked drainage systems, and any emergency concerns to their local Councillors so that these issues can be documented and brought to the attention of the relevant authorities.

At this stage, we urge the Government of Guyana and the relevant emergency response agencies to move swiftly beyond monitoring and begin making the necessary arrangements to accommodate flood-affected residents should conditions worsen. Temporary shelters, emergency supplies, medical assistance, and support services must be identified and prepared in advance to ensure a timely response if evacuations become necessary.

Far too often, vulnerable citizens are left scrambling for assistance after disasters have already escalated. A proactive approach is required. The government must demonstrate preparedness and ensure that adequate resources are available to protect lives, safeguard property, and provide relief to those who may be displaced by the flooding.

We also call for an immediate assessment of drainage and irrigation systems throughout the affected communities and for all available resources to be deployed to mitigate further flooding where possible.

The safety and welfare of our citizens must be the highest priority. PNCR/APNU will continue to monitor developments closely and advocate for the urgent interventions necessary to protect residents and their communities.

We encourage all residents to exercise caution, avoid flooded areas where possible, secure important documents and belongings, and remain alert to official advisories.

PNCR/APNU stands with the people of Region #4 and remains committed to ensuring that the concerns of affected residents are heard and addressed.
