The Cabinet decided that a sum of approximately EC$4,000,000 (four million dollars)\u2014owed to multiple contractors for their work in Barbuda, repairing rooftops and making homes more resilient\u2014will be set aside to make good on outstanding payments.<\/p>

The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) was given the authority to make payments from contributions; however, the labour cost of the repair work exceeded the contributions.<\/p>\n

The unpaid sums are to be verified once more by NODS and the Ministry of Works and all payments made within months.<\/p>
