Planned infrastructural investments under this year’s $552.9 billion budget will lay the foundation for modernisation, transformation and creation of sustainable prosperity for the future Guyana, Public Works Minister Juan Edghill has said.
Addressing the House during the budget debate last Thursday, the Minister said the investments in roads and bridges should not been seen as only providing infrastructural necessities but also as new opportunities for large scale farming, housing, tourism and other areas.
“We are making a corridor open to move Guyana into to the next leg of linking Linden to Lethem, eventually opening up to tens of millions of people in a new market in Northern Brazil. The road is leading so people can eat,” Edghill said before noting that infrastructural investments are opportunities for the prosperity of Guyana.
