Guatemala moves forward with road infrastructure bills
Guatemala's congress could be close to approving two road infrastructure bills, according to local media reports.
Set to be debated by the plenary on Tuesday, the bills look to improve 1,500km of roads that are deemed key for economic activity, including construction and maintenance works.
The proposals’ main objectives are improved connectivity and safe and efficient transportation for goods and people, daily Diario de Centroamérica reported.
The first bill has been stuck in congress for six years and earlier this year it returned to the infrastructure committee for new amendments.
The latest version declares activities such as maintenance, rehabilitation, design, construction, and supervision to be of public interest.
The second bill was submitted by financial committee president Julio Héctor Estrada to speed up projects promoted by rural and urban development councils. It also looks to avoid ending up with incomplete projects by giving the councils the ability to request budget increases from the finance ministry via a reform of the budget law.
