The Opposition PPP/C has called for more money for the Child Care and Protection Agency saying such a move would have its full support.
Some $18.2 billion has been allocated in the 2019 Budget for the Ministry of Social Protection, and of that amount, $685 million goes towards a series of childcare and protection initiatives. But Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira says that the Agency itself does not see an adequate percentage and she believes that it needs more.
The entire budgeted sum was approved and programmes will begin rolling out from January 1st 2019.
