Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson has welcomed a call by former Minister of Public Works Robeson Benn for an investigation into the Cheddi Jagan airport expansion project.
In a letter in yesterday’s Stabroek News, Benn had called for a full-fledged probe of the altering of the contract for the expansion of the Cheddi Jagan Inter-national Airport (CJIA). Benn was res-ponding to Facebook posts by Patterson, who was critical of the project’s handling under the former PPP/C government.
On April 22, on his Facebook page, Patterson had made a post intended “to address an issue that has been circulating for a couple of weeks – the matter of sand filling to the CJIA project.”
