During a visit to the Upper Mazaruni on Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Phillips said that the Government is working to provide internet connectivity to all hinterland areas before the end of the year.

Speaking as the 25th Annual Upper Mazaruni District Games kicked off at the Kamarang Sports Ground, Phillips adverted to the expansion of the Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) devices initiative to Region Seven and the entire Hinterland, a release from his office said.

Phase One successfully connected Regions one and two, while Phase Two is set to commence in August, beginning with Region Seven and progressively extending throughout the Hinterland, a release from Phillips’ office said.
