Caracol Road Fully Funded For 90 Million
posted (December 28, 2018)
And while the Prime Minister's input will prove pivotal in how that one plays out, in his New Year's message which will air later tonight - he wasn't picking fights with anyone. In fact he was sharing out sugar plums, scarce as they are in these sour times.

The PM announced the details for the fully funded Caracol Road in the west. We have only the audio version of his statement:

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"the signing ceremony for the Kuwaiti funding of the Caracol Road is fix for January 14th, 2019. I remind that this project is being co-sponsored by Kuwait and OFID and that the latter had earlier had signed for its portion. With that January 14th event the whole cost of the entire road would have been fully funded to the tune of almost 90 million US dollars. This is some 50 plus miles of virgin terrain to provide access to what is perhaps the most pristine area of our country."

The full 16 minute video version of his statement will air later tonight.
