A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) Member of Parliament Joseph Harmon has written to China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) expressing dismay that the combined Opposition was not consulted on a recent visit by that company to discuss the Cheddi Jagan International Airport expansion project in the wake of corruption concerns regarding its parent company.

A letter dated June 29 and addressed to CHEC’s regional office in Kingston, Jamaica, said, “A Partnership for National Unity being together with the Alliance for Change the majority in the National Assembly takes umbrage at being ignored by your company on its visit to Guyana to review a major infrastructure project as the Cheddi Jagan Airport expansion.”

“A full engagement with us would have ensured a better understanding of the project that could have conditioned our support for it, as we feel that a major opportunity has been missed,” said Harmon in
