The newly reconstituted Office of the President will have a $1.74 billion allocation to implement its current and capital programme for the last quarter of 2020.
The sum which includes $1.09 billion in current expenditure and $369 million in capital expenses was approved following several hours of consideration.
During the consideration of the agency estimates in the Committee of Supply, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira revealed that her government will be spending $95 million over the next three months to purchase vehicles for the President and several Ministers of government.
Asked by the former Minster of Public Infrastructure David Patterson to state the number of vehicles and the process of procurement, Teixeira said she could not do so.
