The Government's 10M monthly grant to the Georgetown City Council will see the creation of 125 more jobs for residents of Georgetown. It is also expected that 2/3 of the grant will be spent on salaries whilst a third will be spent on equipment and other necessities. Further, the Ministry of Public Works along with the Local Government Ministry will work along with the Council to ensure that the M.O.U is carried through.
The Government has been doing and has done as much as it should do in the current economic framework of a greatly reduced role for the state in the direct production of goods and services in direct employment. The days of Government directly creating jobs are gone. Job creation is now the role of the private sector, the leading sector
