Some 50 persons have already been hauled before the courts as the Government intensifies its campaign to remove derelicts and other encumbrances from roadways countrywide.

This is according to Public Works Minister Juan Edghill, who noted in a live broadcast on Wednesday that while the Ministry has been aggressive in its efforts, it is also overwhelmed by the volume of cases, including those of repeat offenders.

“So far, 50 persons have been charged and placed before the courts…150, thereabout, have been warned, and they have voluntarily removed the encumbrances,” Minister Edghill disclosed, noting that officials will continue with their campaign countrywide, with support from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and local democratic organs.
