The Government of Guyana and China Harbour Engineer-ing Company (CHEC) will today sign an expansion agreement for the Cheddi Jagan International Airport amidst controversy surrounding the relocation of residents of Timehri and Government’s secrecy in signing a deal for the project nearly one year ago.
The signing will take place in the boardroom of the Ministry of Finance on Main Street at 15:15 hours.
In June 2012, former President Bharrat Jagdeo had recommended that the Government review the contract in the wake of disclosures of the debarment of a connected company by the World Bank.
Members of the Opposition had opined that any sanction from the World Bank against a company doing business in this country must be taken seriously.
