Major rehabilitation works have been projected for three stellings in Region One, Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh told the National Assembly during his presentation of the 2021 budget on Friday.
Singh noted that provision has been made in the budget for rehabilitation works to be executed on the Morawhanna, Kumaka, and Port Kaituma stellings. He added that government will allocate $1.2 billion to facilitate the implementation of the project.
“Under the previous administration, residents and commuters travelling to and from the North West District were deprived the benefit of a modern ferry service,” Singh contended.
