Senate Pro-Temp Albert Tugbe Chie says the pavement of the road from Buchanan to Pleebo, for which the amount of US$536 million is being sought by the government, is not the much-talked-about coastal road. The US$536 million road projects, according to sources, is intended to comprehensively address road connectivity across the country, a reliable source told the Daily Observer. However, the Pro-Temp’s understanding could be a foreshadowing of how the legislature might receive the proposed loan proposal for their ratification. Protemp Chie, who held his second press briefing since his ascendancy, told reporters at his Capitol office yesterday that for the past two and half months the Senate’s activities have been centered on confirmation proceedings. He assured that the Senate will make its input after the review is completed and changes made to those agreements.
