Robeson Benn

A sum of $1.7 billion was on Thursday approved for the construction and rehabilitation of police stations across the country.

During scrutiny of the budgeted sum by the Committee of Supply, APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Geeta Chandan-Edmond commended the government for the initiative and stated that she had no issue with the allocation. However, she requested an update on the status of some of the police stations already under construction and a “detailed” breakdown on amounts to be spent.
