The Commission was on the ground on Friday 3rd September 2021, in the La Horquetta and Malabar area along with the Chairman of the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation Mr. Kwesi Robinson and the Commission’s CEO Elroy Julien.
The Commission will assist these families with ERRAGs valued up to $25,000 with immediate effect.
