MP Vinceroy Jordan

APNU+AFC  MP Vinceroy Jordan is calling for a Commission of Inquiry into the $600 million spent by the Ministry of Agriculture to rehabilitate the powerhouse damaged at the Albion Sugar Estate factory in February of this year.

In a statement to the Sunday Stabroek yesterday, Jordan expressed concerns about the expenditure, especially after GuySuCo initially estimated the repair cost for the control room at $50 million. During the National Assembly sitting on Friday, the Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha  revealed that the actual repair costs amounted to $600 million and promised to provide a detailed cost breakdown to the Opposition MP.
