Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News –The budget speech by Senior Minister Dr. Singh was presented very clearly and eloquently. I have enjoyed hearing him speak since our days together at Queen’s College. The thoroughness of the budget as it pertains to each sector our economy and pillar of our society is commendable. My only area of concern has to do with our sea defence and water management system. Five billion dollars to add canals that are similar to the Hope Canal in Region 4 is a good step in the correct direction, but given that even with the Hope Canal severe flooding in Region 4 still occurs, we must look beyond this approach as an acceptable long-term solution. The funds allocated for sea defence should be able to carry out the planned work and in addition, it should be able to start the development of the engineering plans needed to build a stronger sea wall and water management system along the Atlantic coast.
It is time to bring on board a strong engineering team or firm to develop the long-term solution needed so that the cost estimates can be completed, the funds secured and the implementation started. The cost of materials will continue to increase in the future, thus making the timing of execution very important. We must approach the development and implementation of a holistic sea defence and water management plan with an increased sense of urgency. Otherwise, the planned investments along the Atlantic coast will be at risk due to future severe flooding.
Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
