Report filed by Jamie J. Roacher – News Reporter

Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne says some people have abused the pandemic barrel initiative.
Over 19 thousand barrels have come through the port at reduced fees since the government introduced the programme.
The Prime Minister says the initiative, set to end his month, was to provide relief for poor people affected by the pandemic.

Prime Minister Browne says Cabinet will end the programme July 31 as the tourism sector rebounds.
