Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday terminated three projects in Region Three – two roads and a bridge – which were behind schedule, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported.
During an inspection, Edghill decided to terminate the projects on the spot in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara district.
“As a Ministry, we have to take responsibility for the inconvenience and the difficulty that you are facing…The intent was that we should have brought relief to you by building the road because when we embark on a road project, it is to improve the lives of people but to the contrary, it would (appear) that we would have made life more difficult,” the minister said.
