Summary
Government’s big move to empower South Rupununi communities: contract limits now soar to $30 million, handing village leaders full control over major infrastructure projects. Heavy machinery—bulldozers, graders, rollers—is being handed directly to local toshaos, paired with hands-on training so they can build and maintain roads and bridges themselves. Minister Juan Edghill stresses accountability and ownership, putting power in the hands of those who’ll benefit most. Plus, 250 solar lights are on the way to boost safety after dark. This isn’t just development—it’s a revolution in local leadership and self-reliance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
