Georgetown : A contract to execute the rebuilding of the iconic Umana Yana on High Street, Kingston will be signed very soon, with the intention of having reconstruction begin in the second half of the year.
Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon spoke of this development in response to a query during his post-Cabinet media briefing today at the Office of the President about the reconstruction of the structure which was destroyed by fire in September 2014.
The Umana Yana was a conical palm thatched hut (benab) erected for the Non-Aligned Foreign Ministers Conference in Georgetown, Guyana in August 1972.It had become the venue for many local events including those of Amerindian origin.
