United Kingdom High Commissioner to Guyana, Greg Quinn, earlier today (Friday) said that no decisions have been taken on the next phases of the road between Linden and Mabura and the development of the Kingston-Ogle Seawall.
High Commissioner Quinn said in a statement, ‘As part of the UK-Caribbean Infrastructure Fund (UKCIF), launched in 2016, over the last year the UK has supported initial design work for the construction of the road between Linden and Mabura and the bridge at Kurupukari which is being implemented by the Caribbean Development Bank. No decision has yet been made on the next, construction, phase of this project. Similarly whilst the UK funded the design phase of the Kingston-Ogle seawall project through UKCIF, no decision has been taken on the next phase of this project either.’
Public Infrastructure Minister, David Patterson, recently said that the project is expected to kick off the ground by October 1.
