Macau Legend given 60 day deadline to present new plans for Cape Verde casino
The Cabo Verde government is giving Macau Legend a chance to present its ‘alternative’ blueprint for the partly built casino resort in Praia, promising that if nothing is forthcoming the opportunity to develop will be handed over to other investors.
Minister for Internal Affairs Paulo Rocha said to Lusa: “The developer has had several opportunities and has this last chance. It says it will have an alternative and the government is waiting for that alternative to be presented, even while the process of reversing the project is underway.”
“The project continues to be important, it continues to be strategic for the city of Praia, for Cabo Verde, and the government is interested in finding a solution. The work has been stopped for a long time and the government wants to see it resolved. One way or another. If it doesn’t present a proposal within the timeframe given, the reversion process will be finalised and then the government will look for other, probable, possible investors.”
Macau Legend, founded by David Chow Kam Fai, will have 60 days to present a new proposal to complete the casino resort.
