The Ministry of Public Works will today be discussing penalties against contractor BK Inter-national after it was yesterday discovered that only 15% of sea defence work at Plantation Andrews in Region Two has been completed even though 70% of the $124M contract was paid out.
Following complaints from residents of surrounding areas and Plantation Andrews of flooding, Minister in the Ministry of Public Works Deodat Indar yesterday visited the area to assess the situation and check on sea defence works that should have been completed.
Indar told the Stabroek News that he was “shocked and troubled” at what he saw since only 15% of the 1000 ft contract area was done.
