Member of Parliament Cathy Hughes has expressed concern over what she perceives as the government’s slow progress in completing the Hinterland, Poor and Remote Communities Project, especially in light of the ongoing border dispute with Venezuela. Hughes views this delay as alarming, given the project’s potential significance in the context of the border row. Dacia Richards’ report delves into Hughes’ concerns, providing a deeper look into the project’s status, its intended impact on the communities, and how its completion is intertwined with Guyana and Venezuela’s broader geopolitical situation.
