PANAMA’S Ministry  of Public Works (MOP) has invested $810 million in various projects in the last two years says Minister  Ramon Arosemena

He made the statement during a press conference touting  the accomplishments of the government, which has been labeled a tortoise because of perceived slow progress in fulfilling election promises,

The investment of the ministry included the construction of 907 kilometers of roads, including almost 200 kilometers in Veraguas and about 175 kilometers in the Darién.

He also noted the tendering of dredging projects in Bocas del Toro to prevent flooding.
