Region Six is proposing a total allocation of $7.1 billion for its 2018 budget, representing an increase of one billion over the sum approved last year, according to Regional Chairman David Armogan.
Armogan told reporters at his office in New Amsterdam on Monday that the proposed increase is primarily due to the fact that much more work needs to be completed in the region.
He referred to the government’s electoral promise of “a good life for all Guyanese” and he said he is hoping that at least 80% of the budget will be approved when presented in order to ensure that “the good life continues” in the region.
