The National Task Force (NTF) for the Rehabilitation, Restoration and Renewal of Guyana has until October to finish its draft plan which is to include an expected 2016 capital budget for the first phase of the initiative.
For 2015 the NTF Commission is set to receive $36M for the administrative work for the eight-person team. At a press briefing held at the Ministry of Public Infrastructure yesterday, Chairman of the Commission, Major General (rtd) Joseph Singh revealed that for the month of September the commission will be collecting data from research and will hold public consultations that will aid in the development of the draft restoration plan.
He noted that the Commission is charged with overviewing the process in a comprehensive manner which will see its six committees tackling the most important areas identified. He said that the commission will have a foundation at all levels of local government and this will allow for adequate reporting and compiling of information.
