And aside from the time it will take to restore the roads, bridges and culverts affected by the heavy rains and floods, the PM says that they have also taken into account the funds they will need to do so. He expects it to be costly:
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"As you know the government has limited resources and so we are going to do everything that we can we just approved in the budget for NEMO in the last supplementary budget I think we had 1.5 million so we have to make that available and I'm sure that when we speak with minister Espat from MIDH and their team and they come to tell us the level of damage that our highways and in the north Sugar roads roads for our farmers Village roads Village Street the amount of damage that they have had that we are not able to rebuild. I feel that it is going to be substantial here today with Hon Alex Balona and Hon Micho Chebat and Hon Landy Habet on what they are telling us is that even the villages they have been doing a lot of work in upgrading these streets in the villages and because of the amount of rain and the current that have been washing off the streets so we will have to go back and do it again."
"We work closely with the mayor we respect him and he is quite active in the work that is taking place here certainly in the twin towns and we are here to serve the people."
