The Guyana Sugar Cor-poration is yet to make full disclosure on the $600m which was used to rebuild the Albion Estate’s power house destroyed by a sudden fire in early February this year, despite calls from the country’s main opposition party for a commission of inquiry into same.

APNU+AFC MP Vinceroy Jordan early last month called for a Com-mission of Inquiry into the $600 million spent by the Ministry of Agriculture to rehabilitate the power house as he had expressed concerns about the expenditure, especially after GuySuCo initially estimated the repair cost for the control room at $50 million.

During a National Assembly sitting, the Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha had revealed that the actual repair costs amounted to $600 million.
