Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ranks currently working on the Kaieteur Airstrip Expansion Project have been commended by the Minister of Public Works for the job they have done so far.
A release from the GDF said that the project which began in May 2022 is currently at the 30% completion point, with the assigned area fully cleared to allow for expansion. The release said that ranks are currently testing a more readily available explosive to hasten the completion of the blasting phase.
A team led by the Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill and Government Projects Engineer, Brigadier (ret’d) Gary Beaton and a team of Senior Officers took Christmas cheer to the ranks.
