[www.inewsguyana.com] – The National Assembly last evening approved the budgetary allocations for the Guyana Defence Force that was set at $9.1 billion.

According to GINA, Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, having been asked to explain the $157 million allocated for training, indicated that the amount extends to training officers in Brazil and China. Further, training is still being conducted under the Trade Winds Programme.

Asked about $157 million proposed for buildings and whether this was for the construction of a floating base, the minister said, it was not. The allocation of $9.1 billion will see the following capital expenditure works being done; completion of Cadet Officers’ Dormitory at Base Camp Stephenson and the Engineers’ Office at Timehri; the construction of an ablution block at Tacama Training School and fence at Mabaruma; upgrading of facilities at Base Camp Stephenson and Ayanganna, and; electrical upgrades and perimeter lights at Base Camp Stephenson and Ayanganna.

$62 million will go for Marine Development of the GDF which includes the completion of the training school in Kingston, Georgetown. $154.4 million will be spent to procure vehicles, boats, motorcycles and All-Terrain Vehicles and $5 million for the rehabilitation of animal pens to aid the development of the Force’s Agriculture Corps.

Mr.TI pity the fool

One moment batty boy Nehru is complaining that the PNC has no clue how to defend the Indos against murders, rapes,and robberies. The next moment he complains about a junta when the government does take steps to address the crime problem. These PPP cartel milk drinkers must have caught BSE from the milk.

You were ranting and raving about Granger not defending against the Venoes. How is he supposed to do that without an updated military. As for crime - if there are paramilitary forces at work to destabilize the government, then guess whose job it will be to root them out? And there is already another separate budget allotment for crime. Suh what yuh whining about again?
