Land rights is an issue that many Toshaos at last year’s NTC wanted to be addressed.President Granger said that the Commission will investigate all complaints and claims with regards to land, issues which have been ongoing over the past 49 years.A section of the audience at yesterday’s formal opening of the National Toshaos’ ConferencePresident David Granger as he delivered the feature address“We (the government) want to bring the complaints to an end by setting up this Commission to sit with you and determine how best we can resolve the issues!” the President emphasised, as the audience responded with loud applause.For Education, the President unveiled the Hinterland Education Support Programme (HESP) which will support objectives of keeping children in school by providing meals, uniforms, schoolbooks, transportation and scholarships to secondary schools.“Our priority is to ensure that everyone is getting a solid education, to prepare him or her for a satisfactory job. We shall ensure that every child is able to attend school. No child should be prevented from attending school because of parental poverty,” said the country’s leader.Come September 1, the administration is launching a Hinterland Employment and Youth Service (HEYS), which the President shared will replace the recently terminated and controversial Youth Entrepreneurial Apprenticeship Programme (YEAP).In tackling poverty reduction, Granger introduced the Hinterland Poverty Reduction Programme (HPRP), which will address the critical state of the country’s social protection. He said that through good governance and sensible public policy, poverty can be decreased and eventually eradicated.Meanwhile, the Hinterland Infrastructure Extension Programme (HIEP) is going to fast track the improvement of the physical infrastructure with a highway between Lethem and Linden leading the forefront of these projects.“Your government intends to bridge the gap between standards of living on the coastland and the hinterland,” said Granger.As for energy security in the region, the Hinterland Energy Development Programme (HEDP) aims to implement solar farms to power Indigenous communities.Additionally, the Hinterland Happy Household Programme (HHHP) will be expected to ensure that investments in economic projects yield substantial and sustained benefits as well as maintain long term job opportunities in the region, with emphasis on agriculture and agro-processing.According to the President, the HHHP will also promote community safety and security while strengthening law enforcement in Indigenous settlements.In a move to further decentralise public services,Cheap Jerseys For Sale, Mr. Granger put forward the Hinterland Public Service Provision Scheme (HPSPS).“Public services such as pension schemes, telecommunications and healthcare, must be extended to all corners of the country,Cheap NHL Jerseys,” the Head of State said.

He noted that the programme can lead to the establishment of a zoological park and botanical garden to showcase the Hinterland’s unique flora and fauna in a sustainable and ecological manner.In addition to the hundreds of Toshaoships represented at the NTC, present from Central Government at yesterday’s proceedings were several government officials. Vice President and Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock and Minister within the same Ministry, Valrie Garrido-Lowe also addressed the Conference. The NTC is scheduled to continue today.
