Two regional corporations are examining ways to regularise illegal vending on the streets to give people a fair chance to earn an income.
Chairman of the Debe/Penal regional corporation Dr Allen Sammy and chairman of the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo regional corporation Henry Awong said there were people who needed this avenue to earn an income. They said the latest covid19 measures implemented by government have left many people unemployed or temporarily without jobs.
