Three BK wells for GWI were delayed for years

Five years after BK International had been granted contracts to drill three wells worth $252 million for the Guyana Water Inc (GWI), only one has been completed raising questions about the selection of the contractor and why there was no termination of the arrangement.

An audit of GWI done for the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), a key financier of the utility, homed in on the contracts for the three wells at Hope and Mon Repos on the East Coast Demerara and at Eccles on the East Bank Demerara.
