The sum of $12 million will be spent on the purchase of desktop computers for several Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) to aid them in the Single Window process which will soon be implemented by the government to ease doing business here.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday that the first set of Dell OptiPlex Micro Desktop computers was on Tuesday handed over to 17 NDCs across the Demerara-Mahaica region to the tune of $2.9 million.
The single window system provides for the establishment of an electronic platform for processing and approving planning and building permits.
