THE Hydro-Electric Power (Amendment) Bill was passed in the National Assembly early this morning with the Alliance For Change (AFC) voting with the Government during an eagerly-awaited Sitting that began at 2:00 pm yesterday afternoon and ended at 3:00 am this morning. The Bill, which unfortunately did not get support from the main Opposition APNU, is necessary to bring the local law into conformity with the environmental standards of possible Amaila Project financier - the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). |
