 Castery's market redevelopment plans continue to take shape. Prime Minister visits with Swazil households affected by heavy rains. Town Hall time with residents of Blosha. And the Prime Minister highlights the real benefits of the Constituency Development Programme. Join us as we dive into this week's installment of the Prime Minister's weekly diary. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Shasney received an update early in the week on Phase 2 of the Market Redevelopment Project. The exciting first phase of the project was completed earlier this year, with a hundred provision vendors moving into their new stalls. The next component of the project will see the construction of a container box park, creating an avenue for micro-enterprising and entail the construction of a viewing tower and duty-free shopping boutiques. The project is part of the government's plans to greatly improve the city and encourage the further development of village tourism. Prime Minister Shasney and Swazil Saltibas MP Hon. Bradley Felix visited the south of the island on Tuesday to assess damage caused by recent heavy rainfall. Residents took the opportunity to speak frankly with the Prime Minister about the challenges they experienced with the recent weather conditions. A full report will be done on the infrastructure needs of the affected communities that have suffered from flooding and landslides. The constituency of Maku South is on the rise with community-building projects that benefit all residents. Prime Minister Shasney held a town hall in the community of Blushar this week to speak to residents about the plans that will have a major impact on improving the standard of living, including housing projects, road rehabilitation, flood mitigation, and the improvement of playing fields and community centres. During the town hall, the residents got the opportunity to fully interact with their parliamentary rep and to ask questions from the community and the national level. Kobe has reminded me that Charles Dickens once expressed in his novel a tale of two cities. This was the worst of times, but it could be the best of times. This was the season of darkness, but it could also be the season of light. As global society is suffering from loads of life and economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan tries its utmost to become a constructive development partner for diplomatic allies and like-minded friends. On Thursday, the Prime Minister for Finance joined new ambassador for Taiwan, His Excellency Peter Shen, for a handover ceremony for the Constituency Development Program. The program is managed by the Ministry for Economic Development and on hand was Minister Honourable Guy Joseph, Permanent Secretary Claudius Emmanuel and the team from the CDP office. In his remarks, Prime Minister Shasney spoke about the impact of the CDP over the years, not just in terms of infrastructure, but in terms of the lives it has changed. When we came into government this time, we decided to take a very different path to the CDP program and basically our grant program with Taiwan. What we decided to do was to look at five years instead of on an annual basis. By looking at it from a five-year perspective allowed us to be a bit more ambitious in what we're doing and therefore we could make a commitment to significant developments and the Minister touched on two of them, which is Village Tourism and also our sports program. And now you're all topped up on the events in the Prime Minister's week. Stay in the know by joining us every week for the Prime Minister's weekly diary.
