…says increased training budget not evidence of waste
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has defended its reported expenditure of approximately $13.8 million on staff training and development, arguing that the investment is necessary to strengthen its capacity to regulate Guyana’s expanding economy, particularly the oil and gas sector.
