With a number of international-standard stadiums and multipurpose sports halls to be completed, hundreds of community grounds to be rehabilitated, and several other projects being on the cards for completion in the year ahead, Guyana’s Sport sector had received its largest Budget allocation yet — a whopping $8B for the fiscal year 2025.
Senior Minister in the Office of the President with responsibility for Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, in unveiling the 2025 National Budget during a sitting of the National Assembly at the Arthur Chung Conference Center (ACCC) on Friday afternoon, revealed the Government’s generosity towards Sport, and took the time to detail some of the projects that can be expected from the Sport sector, which falls under young Minister Charles Ramson Jr, who has responsibility for the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS).
Dr Singh revealed that the International Stadium at Palmyra in East Berbice is on track for completion this year, while another stadium at Crane, West Coast Demerara is earmarked for commencement. In addition, work will continue on several multipurpose grounds around the country, while multi- purpose Sports Halls would be constructed at Leonora, Lethem, Mabaruma, Mahdia and Mongreppo Hill in Bartica.
