(Trinidad Express) Brazilian firm Construtora OAS has been fired from the $7 billion Solomon Hochoy Highway extension to Point Fortin.
But even in the face of harsh criticism from Government, the embattled company is fighting back to defend its work on the stalled project and denying it abandoned the massive highway extension.
In a published statement today, OAS confirmed it was fired by the National Infrastructure Development Company (Nidco) on Tuesday.
It said: “…OAS received last Tuesday (June 21, 2016) a letter from Nidco unlawfully terminating the contract based on a supposed abandonment of the works, which is something that never happened.”
OAS in turn accused the Government of telling “untruths” about the amount of work completed on the contentious project.
