Amid continuous complaints from citizens regarding substandard work being produced by the contractors on the government’s home construction assistance programme, Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal confirmed that one contractor so far has been terminated.
He made this disclosure at his ministry’s press conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre on January 3, admitting that his ministry was having difficulties with contractors working on the home construction assistance programme.
As a result of this, Croal said, the Ministry of Housing had to impose disciplinary measures to abate this kind of behaviour and one of the contractors retained to build homes for young professionals at Prospect, East Bank Demerara, has since been terminated.
