Although some $750 million were allocated for rehabilitative works to the High and Princes streets building once proposed for the office of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) and then the Ministry of Social Protection, government has put a hold on the spending to determine feasibility.
“That is a project which is under review, those sums were allocated but were not spent,” Minister of State Joseph Harmon said when asked for an update.
“We are looking at the feasibility of spending that sum of money on that building. And as recent as yesterday, the matter came up at our conference and we have undertaken to have a review of that decision. That is the current state of play,” he added
