Despite concerns over the propriety of a $865 million contract to build a pump station at Belle Vue, West Bank Demerara work is getting underway.
The Sunday Stabroek visited the site yesterday and saw evidence of preliminary works.
The Tepui Group, in which social media personality Mikhail Rodrigues, known as “Guyanese Critic”, is a principal, had been awarded the contract by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB). This led to complaints that it was unqualified and did not have the wherewithal for the project. A complaint was then lodged with the Public Procurement Commission.
