BK International plans to ask the government to review its decision to terminate the $826.7 million contract with the firm for the construction of the Yarrowkabra Secondary School, failing which it will file a court challenge.
BK International spokesman Adam Harris yesterday told Stabroek News that the firm was preparing to write to Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall for the review of the decision to terminate the contract, which was ended with immediate effect on Sunday.
Nandlall, in a letter to the company dated November 1st, had cited inordinate delays in the completion of the works to be the reason for the termination of the contract. “Thus far, your company only completed 5% of the scheduled works. As a consequence, your company has committed [a] fundamental breach of the terms of the contract and as a result the Government of Guyana hereby exercises its right to terminate the contract with immediate effect,” the letter, which was sent to the Company Secretary, stated.
