Minister of Rural Development and Local Government Kazim Hosein said the mayors and chairmen of regional corporations should give thought to holding a meeting together with the 11-member panel of the Sangre Grande Junior Council to hear their thoughts abbout what they thought the country needed.

The young people from the region raised issues on roads, infrustucture, crime, drainage and education. Most of them were students. Hosein said he was moved to tears by the youngsters' passion for their region. He also urged them to pay homage to their parents, especially their mothers, who were like diamonds, to treat them with love and respect.
