The PPP/C government, upon taking office, had promised again that paving the road from Lethem to Georgetown would be a priority. Reportedly, there has been some progress, but it is moving at a snail’s pace. Guyana now has the financial resources to move the Lethem-Georgetown road project forward. And the government in power such make it a top priority. Doing so will give people in the hinterland greater access to services in the city. It will also result in a greater influx of Brazilian travelers, boost commerce, tourism, and the country’s economy in general.
