From funding for the Linden Commission of Inquiry to clearing expenses incurred by the Police and Army during disturbances in the mining Town when three persons were shot dead, the government is seeking approval for over $3 billion.
Three financial papers for that funding were laid in the National Assembly yesterday, and would have to be approved by the House when it meets Thursday.
But it could be another showdown in the House, as much of the money being sought by the government falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs, and for projects and spending previously not approved by the opposition-led House.
For the Commission of Inquiry, the government is seeking a further $161 million; that is in addition to the $31 million already approved by the House. There was also a request for $913M to clear costs associated with the acquisition of fuel for the Linden Electricity Company and Kwakwani Utilities Inc.
In relation to the Office of the President, the government wants to clear salaries for contracted employees to the tune of $136 million and a further $68 million for expenditure in relation to climate change consultancies and legal fees.
The government is also again asking for $293 million for the Citizens Security Programme – funding which was previously voted down.
For the Ministry of Public Works, the government wants $100 million for its programme to rehabilitate bridges.
