Fox secondary school has already\u00a0been included in the national budget, with the tendering process expected to commence\u00a0shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On health, construction of a new regional hospital will move forward in the government\u00a0compound after delays in securing an alternative site.\u00a0Consultations have also begun on improving road connections between Kamarang, Kako and\u00a0Waramadong.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-by Celestine Chacon Residents of Kamarang and the wider Upper Mazaruni in Region 7 are set to benefit from\u00a0a series of major government investments aimed at improving access to critical&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468,660,472,365,471,540,350],"tags":[488,573,370,1047,412,405,1048,632],"class_list":["post-30177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agriculture","category-amerindian-development","category-healthcare","category-human-development","category-infrastructural-development","category-local-government-and-regional-development","category-news","tag-488","tag-agriculture","tag-guyana","tag-kamarang","tag-ncn-guyana","tag-ncn-news","tag-poultry","tag-region-7"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30177"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30179,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30177\/revisions\/30179"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
