Guyana to build $500M Amerindian hostel replacing rat-infested facility

Guyana's government announced a $500 million new Amerindian Hostel to replace the deteriorating Princess Street facility, which drew criticism last year over rats, poor sanitation, and overcrowding. Construction is expected to begin shortly, signaling a major infrastructure investment in indigenous welfare. The announcement follows public scrutiny and represents a concrete government response to the facility's conditions.
