Dr Rai Ragbir
CUMUTO/Manzanilla MP Dr Rai Ragbir wants government to set up a comprehensive database of local cultural icons.
Ragbir said such a database would serve to honour these national treasures not only while they are performing, but as they grow older and need to be taken care of.
“It would provide crucial information on their health and well-being, he said, so as to determine what assistance can be meted out to them as they navigate issues of health, relative to the natural progression of ageing.”
Ragbir’s suggestion follows the death last week of calypsonian Sandra Des Vignes-Millington, Singing Sandra. She will be laid to rest on Thursday.
