Rehabilitation of the controversial building at High and Princes streets, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown has been ongoing for a year. However, efforts by Stabroek News to contact Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat for an update on the current status of the rehabilitation and costs have proven futile.
Stabroek News understands that the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), which was identified to occupy the building, commenced its retrofitting in the latter half of 2022. There had been no prior announcement and the relevant authorities have remained tightlipped on the total cost for the remedial work.
