President announces $3b supplementary budget for indigenous villages

President Irfaan Ali

A $3 billion supplementary budget to address issues that are affecting indigenous communities was yesterday announced by President Irfaan Ali. 

The announcement came after Indigenous Leaders were asked at the National Toshaos Conference (NTC) on Wednesday to identify issues affecting their communities and then formulate plans to solve those.

The majority of the money will go towards addressing issues in education, health or agriculture.
