Construction work on the long-delayed Bamia Primary School is yet to be completed and according to officials at the Region 10 Regional Democratic Council (RDC), an estimated December 31 completion is now foreseen.
On Wednesday, Chair-person of the Public Works Committee at the Region 10 RDC Eleze Benjamin-Hall visited the work site and related to Stabroek News (SN) that despite the contractor’s report that the project is at 90% completion, a visual inspection shows it being at 80%. She added that internal works are still not yet complete and corrective works still need to be done in some areas.
“The Bamia school, according to the Contrac-tor’s representative, is having a percentage in the 90s. However, I think from the optics the percentage may be in the late 80s. Point to note, all of the internal works started but none is completed. There are visible corrective works that [have] to be done on the ceiling of some of the classrooms on the lower flat. There was some modification done to the washroom cells because they were too small,” she said.
