Opposition members and Minister within the Ministry of Natural Resources Simona Broomes clashed on Tuesday afternoon over expenditure for a forestry inventory study.
During the consideration of the estimates for the 2019 national budget, the Committee of Supply scrutinised the capital expenditure for the ministry’s Development and Administration and opposition member Pauline Sukhai questioned the status of the progress of the Forestry Inventory Study that was allocated $50 million in 2018.
Responding to the question, Broomes said that the project is 100% completed for the year and 30% completed overall.
