Substandard works by Ministry of Public Infrastructure in Berbice

Dear Editor,
The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) is presently executing road works in Berbice at a cost that is unknown to the public. The works being executed are of a very poor standard, especially on the East Bank Berbice and New Amsterdam roads.
What is shocking is that Strand (Water Street) in Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, completed a few weeks ago, is rapidly deteriorating. This definitely shows that the standard of work being done by the MPI Works Services Group is substandard.
The coalition Government and Minister Patterson should ensure that taxpayers’ money is being spent properly. Because of the huge amount of corruption within this group and the MPI, taxpayers will not get value for money.
The sad thing about this APNU/AFC Coalition Government is that whenever any issue is being highlighted, they use the Department of Public Information, the NCN and other agencies to try and cover up the issues; for example, the Ophthalmology Hospitals’ issue.
The President should launch an investigation into this specific Minister and Ministry, to unfold the corruption.

Sincerely,
Zamal Hussain
