And while marquee projects like the Haulover Bridge capture the public imagination, infrastructure is also about the sugar roads in the north, and the farm roads in the south.
Espat's Ministry has already spent a few hundred millions in the PUP's first 3.5 years in office - but he says it has to remain a high priority, or government will have problems:
Repoerter:
"Can you say what priority areas will be giving you for the next fiscal year?"
Julius Espat, MIDH Minister
"If if the Ministry of Finance does not see an idea as a priority, then then you'll have a problem because you will be interviewing every single minister. And the first thing that will come to your mind is infrastructure, because again, if we don't put in the road works in the sugar area, the cane farmers will be protesting in Belmopan. If we don't do the farm roads in the west and in the south, the farmers will be protesting. If we don't assist the Tourism area where the tourists come in, then you'll have problems from the tourism sector. There is no way government cannot invest in infrastructure. And so that to my, in my opinion, is a major priority."
