Speaking at a public meeting on Monday night, President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali revealed the initiative to thousands of residents from New Amsterdam and surrounding areas.

“You want safe communities and you want your family to grow up and live in a safe environment, that is why every single community will have streetlights. We will build out the policing infrastructure to support your communities,” President Ali said.
This programme forms part of the government’s ‘Safe Country’ initiative, which will see the entire nation being connected to CCTV cameras. (Department of Public Information)
