Singh offers ‘no comment’ on halt in EU micro projects funding

Government has not offered an explanation on its decision to block several micro projects being funded by the European Union and as the deadline for implementation approaches, some of the prospective beneficiaries have accused the administration of being uncaring.

Asked why his government had withdrawn its endorsement of some 39 micro projects valued close to $200 million under the programme, Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh, told Stabroek News on Thursday night that he was not making any comment “at this time”.
