Over a year after he was questioned by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) and it was found that there was no wrongdoing in the award of the feasibility contract for the New Demerara Harbour Bridge, former Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson was yesterday again questioned by SOCU on the same issue.
Recently sacked Demerara Harbour Bridge and Asphalt Plant Manager, Rawlston Adams, was also questioned since the overall $162,653,015 funding for the project came from his agency’s coffers.
Patterson and his attorney, Ronald Burch-Smith, yesterday visited SOCU for questioning into the award of the 2016 contract to Dutch firm LievenseCSO, which had conducted a feasibility study and design of a new Demerara Harbour Bridge.
