A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament Nina Flue-Bess has sounded the alarm over what she describes as a worsening agricultural crisis in Mocha Arcadia, where recurring flooding has left farmers counting millions of dollars in losses and renewed scrutiny is being directed at the state of drainage infrastructure and the management of public resources.

In a statement, Flue-Bess said the devastation facing farmers extends far beyond seasonal rainfall and points instead to long-standing drainage failures that residents believe have been exacerbated by development activities and incomplete infrastructure works in recent years.

The MP said farmers are once again watching crops perish and livestock losses mount as floodwaters inundate agricultural lands that have sustained generations of farming families and supplied food to markets across Georgetown and the East Bank Demerara corridor.
