Member of Parliament for Arima and Minister of Planning and Development, the Honourable Pennelope Beckles-Robinson, met with Minister of Digital Transformation, Senator the Honourable Hassel Bacchus, and the Mayor of Arima, His Worship Cagney Casimire, who attended virtually, to discuss the Connected Arima initiative
#ConnectedArima envisions Arima as a “connected community” where digital technologies are used optimally to meet the needs of its citizens and businesses. This includes enhanced digital connectivity in the economy, governance, environmental management and social interactions among other spheres of life
The fruitful discussions centred on widespread stakeholder engagement to ensure that the needs and wants of Arimians inform the development process, plans for community-based ICT solutions, as well as the unique attributes of the borough that will influence the scope of the initiative.
