The sum of $1B referred to by President Jagdeo with respect to the Guyana Defence Force was for the army’s re-capitalization programme which would include the purchase of helicopters, a release from the Government Information Agency (GINA) said yesterday.
On Friday GINA had reported President Jagdeo as saying that the GDF would receive $1B to purchase helicopters, and yesterday’s release sought to “clarify” this.
