Positing that the government’s proposed budget is filled with opportunities at throwing money at issues without proper analysis, parliamentary shadow Minister of Natural Resources David Patterson on Thursday said more studies should have been undertaken before making decision on the Wales gas to energy project.
“We see a few mega projects described as very important and transformative. The government says that they are so important and transformative that we don’t have time to study them properly to let information guide decision-making,” Patterson said during his contribution to the budget debate, which wrapped on Friday.
The APNU+AFC coalition parliamentarian argued that if government had commissioned a detail-ed study of the project, it would have been informed that the pipeline solution proposed is simply not the best to utilize the country’s natural gas resources.
