The Pepper Sluice located in East Canje Berbice which was once operated and maintained by GuySuCo will return to operation as plans are in store to have it rehabilitated as part of a project where 63 drainage structures countrywide will be done.
Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha on Saturday told Stabroek News that following a meeting with the World Bank they have received approval for the 63 sluices to be done countrywide at a cost of US$45m.
The project will be overseen by the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority.
