Dear Editor,
It was recently reported that the President of the Caribbean Development Bank, Dr Compton Bourne, following a visit to Guyana, indicated that when compared to other countries in the region, Guyana probably had the highest rate of project implementation.
Additionally, Bourne said that almost all the projects funded by the CDB here in Guyana were being completed below the projected budget – something rarely accomplished in the Caribbean.
Government must therefore be lauded for its meticulous and efficient project implementation programme which, because of its emphasis on accountability and quality, state-of-the-art work on roads, sea defence and bridges, among other projects, have been successfully undertaken, below the projected cost.
Guyana’s exemplary performance has resulted in a commitment by the CDB President to further explore the granting of additional funding for developmental projects countrywide.
Yours faithfully,
Jason Hinds
