The Amerindian Affairs Minister added that this investment will play an important role as the government is rolling out a massive infrastructure agenda.

Forty per cent of the labour workforce will be sourced from the village creating hundreds of jobs for locals, director of the company, Jesvin Pradee Kumar noted.
