An additional $127 million has been allocated this year for the completion of the controversial Bamia Primary School, which is now slated for April 1st, according to Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Sonia Parag.
Parag’s disclosure on Thursday came in response to questions posed by APNU+AFC Members of Parliament Devin Sears and Jermaine Figueira on how much more money is being allocated towards the completion of the primary school out of the $375 million budgetary provisions for the region’s schools, educational facilities and payment of retention.
The Minister told the Committee of Supply that the primary school is currently 65% complete when pressed by Figueira.
