Economic Investment Plan to be developed by govt soon

PHILIPSBURG--Government will develop an "Economic Investment Plan" for its planned programmes and projects ahead of the formulation of the National Development Plan, Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams (DP) told the press during Council of Ministers press briefing on Wednesday.

The development plan was announced by Governor Eugene Holiday in his speech on behalf of government at the opening of the new parliamentary year on Tuesday.

Wescot-Williams said the investment plan would further map out the timelines and funding sources for the United People's (UP) party-Democratic Party (DP) projects for the 2010-2014 governing term.

Her comments on Wednesday were coupled with the presentation to the press of copies of the UP-DP Governing Programme titled "A Foundation of Hope for Our Country ? A foundation built on strength, compassion and decisiveness."

Things ? economically and in the communities ? are "changing so rapidly" that government cannot "do things like wetting its thumb and putting it in the air"; data are needed, she said. "We remain optimistic that we will be able to overcome challenges that are in our path."

The Governing Programme has one error. On the page with government's organisational structure, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport is not listed. A correction will be made to remedy the omission, Wescot-Williams said.
