Government has put $2.2 million at the disposal of the National Sports Council (NSC) specifically for the laying of a new athletics track at the National Stadium.
This was disclosed today by Minister of Finance, Chris Sinckler in the debate in the House of Assembly on Government’s Estimates of Income and Expenditure.
The St Michael North West Member of Parliament said the budgeted amount for the new facility would enable the country’s star athletes like Ryan Brathwaite to return to run in the country. (GE/SAT)
