Opposition chides gov’t for delays in pump stations construction

Shadow Minister of Agriculture, Vinceroy Jordan, yesterday requested an update on the number of pump stations completed but was told by Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha that this information would be provided shortly as the projects that have begun, are soon slated for completion.

Mustapha was speaking as the Parliamentary Committee of Supply convened to consider the 2024 budget estimates for the Ministry of Agriculture.

Jordan asked, “Mr Chair, I would like to find out from the Honourable Minister of Agricul-ture, a breakdown by numbers on the number of pump stations completed and the dates they were completed.”
