Bud Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Personal reflection here. Glad to see that the national level ministries are trying to help resolve problems and improve various issues outside of Panama City. However, the timing for this specific project really caused me to pause for a moment. I refer here to the recent murder of a tourist in exactly this same place. The killing of Catherine Johannet has had very broad international coverage, and included having the US FBI coming in to assist local authorities in the investigation.

Keith Woolford Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Me too Bud, hard to believe the timing is by coincidence. The report does strike me as saying that the government has been interested in this project for a while, and someone was told to prioritize it again this week.
