The Guyana Association of Professional Engineers yesterday met with Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill and the group, among several other things, urged the Minister to consider the tabling of an Engineers Registration Bill.

Engineers have for decades called for such a bill but this appeal has been ignored by successive governments including those of the PPP/C.

A release from the ministry said that the meeting with the Association was held at the Minister’s Wight’s Lane, Kingston office. The visiting team comprised of  Stuart Hughes, President of the Association; Joel Trotman, Past President;  John Cush, Treasurer;  Amir Dillawar, Assistant Secretary/ Treasurer;  Safiya Gafoor, Member and Jacquely Major, Secretary.
