A meeting of the National Emergency Operation Centre was convened yesterday afternoon to address the recent spring tides and an application will be made for $800m from the Contingency Fund, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported.
Such an application would have to be made in Parliament. Whether the life of this Parliament has come to an end has sparked controversy.
DPI said that at a briefing the Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson disclosed that the government plans to apply for emergency funds through the Contingency Fund.
