As the Ministry of Public Infrastructure awaits funding to execute emergency works on the Content, Mahaicony sea defence, it is looking to deploy a contractor to undertake short-term works at the site.

Jermaine Braithwaite, Project Manager attached to the Public Infrastructure Ministry’s Sea and River Defence Department yesterday told Stabroek News that both ministries remain engaged in discussion over funding for the project.

He added that they should be able to have some positive word on funding in the new week.
