A $23 million contract has been awarded for the provision of internet services at the Kato Secondary School and according to Minister of State Joseph Harmon this is part of government’s plan to ensure that hinterland schools are on par with those on the coast.
Harmon, during a post-Cabinet press briefing on Friday, announced that Cabinet has given its no objection to the award of the contract, valued $23,270,419, to IMON Wireless Solutions.
He explained that the provision of internet services to this school is part of an ongoing programme to provide internet connectivity to schools across the coastland and in the hinterland. He said that similar access is being provided to secondary schools at Mabaruma, Port Kaituma, Santa Rosa, Aishalton, Lethem, Annai, Paramakatoi, Waramadong, Kwakwani, Mahdia, and Bartica.
