Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill on Wednesday lamented that the Lamaha Street extension works are behind schedule, the latest in a series of projects that have encountered delays.
“This project has been going on for too long, and it is clear, that there are challenges”, Edghill said, according to a brief release from the ministry.
One of the key sticking points has been miscommunication between the contractor and the Guyana Water Inc (GWI), the release said. The contractor stated that they were awaiting GWI’s pipe placement to complete their work, while GWI in the presence of the contractor, said, they were in fact waiting for the contractor to complete their sand filling, so that they could lay their pipes.
