With President Irfaan Ali’s announcement of a plan to build 1,000 homes in Region 10, Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon on Friday said that the main opposition coalition APNU+AFC will hold the government accountable for delivering on the promise.
“We will be engaging the young people and women in the construction of the homes,” Ali said during a visit to the region last Thursday. “We need the materials for the construction of these houses to come from this region. The lumber, the sawmill, block makers and carpenters will all be engaged, if you don’t have the skills, we will bring in people to train you so that employment is created for the residents here”, he added, before noting that by the end of October this year, 50 homes for young professionals will be constructed in Amelia’s Ward, Region 10.
