The Berbice Bridge Company Inc (BBCI) has written to the National Insurance Scheme requesting that the NIS give its views on whether to accept the recent Government of Guyana proposal to reduce the bridge toll without further negotiations by Tuesday.
In the letter, dated September 14, received by NIS General Manger Doreen Nelson on September 17, BBCI Chief Executive Officer Omadat Samaroo apologizes for the short notice citing the extreme pressure the company was under as a consequence of the Guyana government’s announcement of lowering the toll without undertaking prior consultation with the company.
The letter, viewed by Stabroek News, requests that NIS indicate yes or no to whether the BBCI should go ahead and accept the government’s proposal in the absence of a position on the Toll Formula and/or Concession Period or whether the BBCI should refuse and continue with negotiations.
