The motion suggests that we unilaterally removed the service when, in fact, that is not true. It did continue until an unfortunate accident, which caused a tug to crash into the Lukanani that was, at that time, providing the service, forced a discontinuation of the service. It was the expectation of the PPP/C Government that the transportation service that was being provided would continue.

What we see is private-public partnership going as far back as then. That strain was affecting the delivery of other services. Speaker, my enquiry has led me to understand and appreciate, in the first instance, that the decision to discontinue the ferry service, that decision in 1995, was premised on the financial strain behind its operation. We must ask ourselves, is there an alternative to spending x dollars now in a particular way as against spending it tomorrow? So, it is often necessary… Indeed it is always necessary that we, in allocating how we use these resources, look at the alternatives. Scarce resources and competing needs and uses for these resources determine that we have to make decisions premised on the opportunity cost of the decisions that we make. I emphasise this to emphasise the point that we do not discriminate or we do not limit the extent of our intervention to particular areas or particular regions it is across the 83,000 square miles of this country. Speaker.Įvery year, through our annual budget, we allocate substantial amounts of resources aimed, inter alia, at developing and improving infrastructure throughout the 83,000 square miles of this country. Minister in the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development : Thank you very much, Mr.
