SAINT LUCIA PARLIAMENT APPROVES TWENTY-SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN WATER LOANS-CLIPX1
The House of Assembly on Tuesday approved more than twenty-seven million u.s. Dollars in water infrastructure loans tuesday.
The money targets a crumbling pipeline, an aging treatment plant, and a rural community project that ran over budget.
Prime Minister Philip J Pierre defended the borrowing as long overdue — pointing to decades of deferred maintenance and a water utility kept alive by direct government subsidy.
The opposition seat was empty when the votes were called.
