He may be politically hemorrhaging with the presentation of the domestic crisis but the Prime Minister is rolling on with a project targeting what may be the PUP government's greatest area of resistance, the southside. This afternoon Prime Minister Said Musa signed a contract with UK's Halcrow Group. They are tasked with finding out what's needed, how much it will cost, recommend technical and environmental priorities, and agree on an action plan to upgrade the infrastructure and improve the living conditions. The areas to be studied are Port Loyola, Lake Independence, and Collet. The fact finding, not the work, should take 4 months and will cost US$94,750.
